Published: January 2025

Stunting exerts detrimental effects on health, growth and development, and economic outcomes. These adverse impacts encompass elevated risks of morbidity and mortality, cognitive and language delays, and increased healthcare expenditures. Given these significant consequences, stunting has become a global health priority. This cross-sectional study investigates the influence of maternal height and exclusive breastfeeding practices on the incidence of stunting among children under five years of age in Gunungsitoli City. Conducted from February to April 2024, the study initially included 375 children aged 12–59 months. Due to specific inclusion criteria, the final sample comprised 63 participants selected through purposive sampling. The independent variables analyzed were maternal height and exclusive breastfeeding, with stunting incidence serving as the dependent variable. Data collection employed five questionnaires, and maternal height was measured using a stadiometer. Statistical analyses, including univariate analysis and chi-square tests, were performed using SPSS version 25.0 to explore associations between the variables. The results revealed that most mothers had an elementary school education (34.85%), exhibited normal height (63.64%), and the majority of children were exclusively breastfed (60.61%). Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant association between maternal height and stunting incidence (p=0.026), indicating that children born to shorter mothers were at higher risk of stunting. Furthermore, a significant association was found between exclusive breastfeeding practices and stunting incidence (p=0.003), with children who were not exclusively breastfed having a 3.94 times greater odds of experiencing stunting. This study concludes that maternal height and exclusive breastfeeding practices are crucial factors influencing the incidence of stunting in children.

Published: January 2025

Families play a crucial role in caring for stroke patients, but they often face various challenges. This study aims to explore the experiences of family members as caregivers for stroke patients. Using a phenomenological approach, this research examines the participants' direct experiences to uncover the phenomenon's essence. Data was collected through in-depth interviews over three months, from May to July 2024. In-depth interviews were used as the main instrument for gathering qualitative data from nine informants. The interview process was conducted in-depth and systematically, with triangulation techniques to enhance data validity. Data analysis was performed using a thematic content analysis approach. Data was continuously analyzed during the collection process, focusing on recurring keywords and phrases. The results were then grouped and organized into relevant subthemes. The findings indicate that caregivers often experience sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, and social isolation. Additionally, they face financial challenges due to loss of income and increased healthcare costs. Despite these challenges, caregivers derive satisfaction from their role. This study highlights the need for a comprehensive support system, including respite care, financial assistance, and educational resources, to improve caregiver well-being and enhance the quality of care for stroke patients.

Authors: Reza Faisal , Nasution Ikhwanul Hakim
Published: January 2025

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is benign lesion of long bone metaphysis, but it can also become locally aggressive lesion. ABC affects mostly medullary region of long bone metaphysis that predominantly affects children and young adults. Meta-diaphysis of the long bones and posterior elements of the vertebrae are the most common sites of involvement. ABCs can involve every skeletal site, but the most common locations are the metaphysis of the long bones, followed by the spine. However, diaphyseal lesions may occur. Patients with ABCs typically present with insidious onset of pain, swelling or a palpable mass. The imaging appearance of ABC is variable; however, a lytic and expansile lesion with fluid-fluid levels is the most common presentation. Although incidence of intracortical variety of ABCs is rare but surgeons might evaluate its severity in view of aggressive benign or malignant lesions of diaphysis. We present the case of a 11-year-old female with left shaft ulna ABC.

Authors: Neto João Peixoto dos Santos , Siqueira Susan Gonçalves Oliveira Mendes
Published: January 2025

A úlcera por pressão (UP) é uma lesão comum em pacientes imobilizados ou com doenças crônicas, causada pela pressão prolongada sobre a pele, comprometendo a circulação sanguínea. Fatores como desnutrição, idade avançada e mobilidade reduzida aumentam o risco de desenvolvimento. Classificadas em quatro estágios, as UPs variam desde eritema persistente (estágio I) até a exposição de ossos e músculos (estágio IV). O manejo exige uma abordagem multidisciplinar, com foco na prevenção e no tratamento adequado. A prevenção envolve mudanças posturais frequentes, uso de colchões e almofadas especiais, além de cuidados com a higiene e hidratação da pele. O tratamento inicial inclui curativos e alívio da pressão, enquanto casos mais graves demandam desbridamento, curativos avançados e, eventualmente, cirurgia. O controle de infecções e a educação de profissionais e familiares são fundamentais. Este relato de experiência destaca a importância de um cuidado preventivo e de protocolos multidisciplinares para reduzir complicações e promover a recuperação, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
Combined Strategies for Nanodrugs Noninvasively Overcoming the Blood–Brain Barrier and Actively Targeting Glioma Lesions
Authors: Liu Yuanyuan , Wu Haigang , Liang Gaofeng
Published: January 2025

Drugs for tumor treatment face various challenges, including poor solubility, poor stability, short blood half-life, nontargeting ability, and strong toxic side effects. Fortunately, nanodrug delivery systems provide excellent solution to these problems. However, nanodrugs for glioma treatment also face some key challenges including overcoming the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and, specifically, accumulation in glioma lesions. In this review, we systematically summarize the advantages and disadvantages of combined strategies for nanodrugs noninvasively overcoming BBB and actively targeting glioma lesions to achieve effective glioma therapy. Common noninvasive strategies for nanodrugs overcoming the BBB include bypassing the BBB via the nose-to-brain route, opening the tight junction of the BBB by focused ultrasound with microbubbles, and transendothelial cell transport by intact cell loading, ligand decoration, or cell membrane camouflage of nanodrugs. Actively targeting glioma lesions after overcoming the BBB is another key factor helping nanodrugs accurately treat in situ gliomas. This aim can also be achieved by loading nanodrugs into intact cells and modifying ligand or cell membrane fragments on the surface of nanodrugs. Targeting decorated nanodrugs can guarantee precise glioma killing and avoid side effects on normal brain tissues that contribute to the specific recognition of glioma lesions. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of nanodrugs in clinical glioma treatment are discussed.

Authors: Shajari Rasoul , Zavar reza Javad , Najafi Farzaneh , Hemayati Roya
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Oxidative stress is common in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those that need hemodialysis. Due to the increased chance of oxidative stress and inflammation following dialysis, the risk of developing atherosclerosis and heart disease is higher in these patients. In the case of a chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis, highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as a marker of inflammation and malondialdehyde (MDA) can be considered as an indicator for oxidative stress. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a thiol antioxidant acting as a free radical scavenger. There are conflicting results regarding the effect of NAC on inflammation and oxidative stress. Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of this drug on hs-CRP and MDA in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Patients and Methods: This single-arm clinical trial study was performed on 26 patients receiving hemodialysis. The patients were treated with NAC 600 mg twice a day for two months. They were tested before the treatment and two months later. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22). Chi-square and paired T-tests were also employed for the statistical analysis of the data. Moreover, P value of <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: In this study, 26, out of 32, participants completed the study and were included in the final analysis. The results showed that, compared to baseline, treatment with NAC significantly reduced albumin (P=0.025) and hs-CRP (P=0.003). Moreover, supplementation with NAC significantly increased hemoglobin (P=0.005), serum iron (P=0.002), transferrin saturation (P<0.001), and calcium (P=0.026). However, no significant difference was observed at the end of the study in white blood cells (WBC; P=0.337), platelets (P=0.809), ferritin (P=0.797), calcium-phosphorus product (Ca×P; P=0.93), triglycerides (P=0.604), total cholesterol (P=0.411), low-density lipoprotein (LDL; P=0.145), high-density lipoprotein (HDL; P=1.00), and malondialdehyde (MDA; P=0.960). Conclusion: The present survey suggests that NAC may be an effective option in managing hemoglobin, serum iron, transferrin saturation, calcium, albumin, and hs-CRP in patients receiving hemodialysis. Further researches are needed to confirm the veracity of our findings. Trial Registration: The trial protocol was approved in the Iranian registry of clinical trial (identifier: IRCT2016111529812N2; https://irct.behdasht.gov.ir/trial/23866, ethical code; 17/1/257428).

Published: January 2025

Salinity, a major environmental stress, affects global cereal production by decreasing yields, particularly in wheat (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum). This study evaluated the effects of varying salinity levels on the germination  and growth parameters of two Turkish wheat cultivars.Germination experiments were conducted using six salinity levels 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 dS/m with SAR values 3, 6, 9, and 12. While growth parameters were evaluated under greenhouse conditions in Tlemcen - Algeria, and Çanakkale - Türkiye, using irrigation water with EC levels of 8, 16, and 20 dS/m and SAR 9. Salinity stress negatively impacted both durum and bread wheat. Durum wheat exhibited the highest germination rates at SAR3 (78.89%) and SAR6 (75.56%), with a moderate decline at SAR12 (61.67%). In contrast, bread wheat peaked at SAR3 (67.78%) but declined more sharply under higher salinity levels. High salinity (20 dS/m) reduced durum wheat ear length from 4.7 cm (control) to 2.4 cm and decreased plant dry weight from 5.27 g to 4.14 g. In bread wheat, moderate salinity (8 dS/m) resulted in the longest ear lengths (7.21 cm) and the highest ear weight (0.84 g), while high salinity (20 dS/m) caused the lowest number of fertile tillers (FTN). Differential responses observed between the two locations; wheat grown in warmer Tlemcen (Algeria) faced greater salinity stress than in cooler Çanakkale (Türkiye), highlighting the role of environment and genetics in salinity tolerance.

Die Autor*innen skizzieren in ihrem Beitrag die These, dass ein- oder wechselseitige Affektionen bzw. emotional grundierte (Re-)Adressierungen zwischen Schüler:innen von bislang bestenfalls ansatzweise theoretisch konzeptualisierter und empirisch untersuchter Bedeutung für Interaktions- und Inklusionsprozesse in Schulen sind. Demnach sind Erfahrungen wie die von Zugehörigkeit und Nichtzugehörigkeit oder von Anerkennung und Nichtanerkennung stets affektiv bzw. emotional grundiert. In dem Beitrag wird zunächst in phänomenologischer Perspektive ein theoretisches Verständnis solcher Prozesse dargelegt, wobei Überlegungen zur sinnlichen Wahrnehmung und zur Leiblichkeit im Vordergrund stehen. In einem zweiten Schritt werden dann die Dynamik und Wirkungsweise des Zusammenspiels von Adressierung und Affektion anhand von zwei Beobachtungssequenzen aus einem Forschungsprojekt, das an inklusiv arbeitenden Kölner Grundschulen stattgefunden hat, verdeutlicht.

Authors: Benjamin Leezora Bathsheba , Mohd Shahril Aslinda , Mohd Fuza Zatul Iffah
Published: January 2025

Green hotels are eco-friendly hotels that implement environmental protection measures to protect nature. These hotels apply practices that are considered as environmentally friendly initiatives that aim to eliminate the negative impact on the environment. Although protecting the environment has become increasingly discussed, adopting environmentally friendly behaviours still poses a challenge to most people due to issues like lack of interest. This study explores how trust and demographic variables affect customer purchase intentions towards green hotels in Sabah, Malaysia. A quantitative survey with 329 respondents, which consist of domestic travellers in Sabah was undertaken. Empirical analysis using SPSS was utilised to examine the identified relationships among the variables. The result showed that there is a significant relationship between trust and customer purchase intentions based on the outcomes from the linear regression analyses done. Furthermore, the study showed that age, income and education positively influenced customer purchase intentions, while gender demonstrated a negative impact. These findings will be enlightening to the hotel industry players by giving insightful data that will assist them in developing effective marketing techniques personalised to customer profiles and levels of trust, consequently fulfilling the ever-changing wants of domestic travellers.

Authors: Isa Noor Amira , Sidek Noor Azizah , Bareduan Salleh Ahmad , Nawawi Azli , Marsudi Muhammad
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a new heuristic designed specifically for minimizing makespan in scheduling problems. The proposed approach incorporates a dual bottleneck phase combined with a pre-initial arrangement to enhance optimization of new heuristic. By introducing both major and minor bottleneck identification phases, the heuristic effectively identifies critical processing machines with significant completion times. To evaluate the performance, this study employed the Taillard benchmark and the upper bound (UB) makespan as comparative tools, assessing the new heuristic against the well-known NEH heuristic. Computational results clearly demonstrate that the new heuristic significantly outperforms the NEH heuristic in reducing the total completion time. The consistent lower RPD values and negative percentage errors indicate that ICHA is more effective in approaching the optimal makespan as indicated by the Taillard UB.

Authors: Guerra Dailén Noa , Gascón González Daimes , Ortega Ruiz Antonio
Published: January 2025

En las últimas décadas, el decrecimiento de la acti-vidad agropecuaria en zonas rurales cubanas ha sido una constante, fundamentalmente por la reduc-ción de inversiones y el éxodo de la población rural hacia entornos urbanos. Transformar esta realidad implica, entre otros aspectos, introducir cambios estructurales y diversiﬁcar la economía tradicional. En consecuencia, la inserción de la actividad turís-tica constituye una acción estratégica, en función de la activación del patrimonio rural y la recuperación, revalorización y fortalecimiento de las identidades culturales de estos espacios y sus comunidades. En esta dirección, el artículo tuvo como objetivo determinar cómo la gestión turística, basada en la utilización de atractivos y recursos controlados localmente y proyectados para pequeños segmen-tos del mercado turístico, dinamiza los procesos de desarrollo en el escenario rural. Se empleó una metodología con enfoque cualitativo, y mediante el análisis documental, la entrevista y la observación cientíﬁca, se pudo determinar los factores que favo-recen la integración de la actividad turística como factor de desarrollo local en el contexto cubano. Entre los resultados obtenidos, destaca el diseño de un grupo de acciones que posibilitan la soste-nibilidad de la actividad turística en una ﬁnca del territorio avileño, a partir de la gestión integrada del potencial turístico.

La empresa Zoquite, ubicada en la ciudad de Guanajuato, en una de sus facetas se dedica a la elaboración de vibrocomprimidos, siendo los tabicones los más vendidos, ya sean ligeros o pesados, cuya principal diferencia es el insumo pétreo, que para los primeros es pomacita y para los segundos es arena. En esta investigación se desarrollaron tabicones pesados con relación agua-cemento en masa de 0.5, y una proporción cemento Portland-arena en volumen de 1:3 como el mortero tipo I, en los cuales la arena fue sustituida por EPS (perlas de poliestireno expandido) de 0.5 mm de diámetro nominal en 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 y 60 por ciento en volumen. Después de determinar la calidad de los insumos materiales a través de pruebas de laboratorio y en concordancia por la ficha técnica del EPS, se elaboraron tabicones pesados y fueron curados en la cámara de curado húmedo de la Universidad de Guanajuato, lo cuales fueron caracterizados en conformidad con las normas NMX y con las ASTM. Se concluyó que el agua de mezclado tiene un efecto marcado en la absorción y en la contracción, ya que su racionamiento se realiza concibiendo la necesidad de agua para el acomodo por vibrocompresión y no tanto para hidratación del cemento Portland, así mismo, las propiedades mecánicas de los tabicones fueron incrementándose hasta alcanzar su valor mayor a 28 días de curado para todos los casos, con 11.42 MPa de resistencia a compresión simple para el testigo, cuyo valor se incrementó para la adición de 10, 20 y 30% de EPS. Así mismo, el módulo de ruptura también es influenciado positivamente por la adición de EPS.
How high a field has been and can be achieved in superconducting bulk niobium cavities: the role of RRR
Authors: Kubo Takayuki
Published: January 2025

This Brief Note investigates the relationship between the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) and the maximum achievable surface magnetic field in superconducting bulk niobium (Nb) cavities. Data spanning the 1980s to the 2020s, with RRR values ranging from 30 to 500, are compared with theoretical performance limits, including the lower critical field (B

c1), the superheating field (B
sh), and the thermal runaway field (B
run). The analysis reveals that modern Nb cavities are approaching B
run and the metastability region above B

c1 across the entire RRR spectrum, but they remain well below the fundamental limit set by B
sh. Achieving B
sh requires not only a defect-free surface but also ensuring that B
run exceeds B
sh. The latter condition, often overlooked, is not always met at 2 K.

Study aims to evaluate the evolution of anthropometric and hematological parameters in anemic rats treated with an aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves. Seventy rats aged 8 to 16 weeks were divided into seven groups of ten rats each, including five males and five females. Various doses of the aqueous extract (200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, and 1600 mg/kg) were administered in comparison with a positive control group and a group treated with Ranferon®. Treatments were administered from day 3 to day 14, with blood samples taken on days 1, 3, 7, and 14. Anemia was induced by injecting 40 mg/kg of phenylhydrazine twice a day for two days. The samples allowed for the determination of red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit levels, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and platelet count. The results showed a correction of anemia by the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves from the seventh day of the experiment, unlike the positive control group.

Authors: Corseuil Herton Xavier
Published: January 2025

O estudo objetivou analisar o perfil de crescimento físico e o estado nutricional de escolares de 7 a 14 anos do município de Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná. Considerou-se a influência do contexto socioeconômico, familiar e ambiental no desenvolvimento humano, utilizando dados coletados em escolas públicas urbanas. A amostra abrangeu 1.185 escolares de ambos os sexos, com medições de peso e estatura realizadas conforme os padrões do NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics). A análise incluiu variáveis socioeconômicas, composição familiar e hábitos cotidianos. Os resultados indicaram que 52,4% dos escolares apresentaram valores de peso abaixo do percentil 50, enquanto 61,8% tinham estatura acima do mesmo percentil. Cerca de 45,5% foram classificados como eutróficos, enquanto 40% apresentaram algum grau de desnutrição e 14,5% mostraram sobrepeso ou obesidade. A desnutrição atual, caracterizada por déficit de peso em relação à estatura, foi predominante. Os resultados evidenciam que os escolares apresentam perfil de crescimento predominantemente longilíneo, refletindo possíveis influências do contexto socioeconômico e familiar. Apesar das condições desfavoráveis, como baixa renda familiar e escolaridade limitada dos pais, fatores positivos como moradias qualificadas, atividades de subsistência e estrutura familiar coesa parecem mitigar impactos negativos no desenvolvimento. Conclui-se que o crescimento físico e o estado nutricional são resultados da interação entre características individuais e contextuais, reforçando a importância de políticas públicas voltadas à melhoria das condições de vida para o adequado desenvolvimento infantil.

O contato dos jovens, atualmente, com os mais diversos meios de comunicação (televisão, rádio, mídia impressa e internet, entre outros) acaba repercutindo na vida desses mesmos sujeitos de maneira a formar suas opiniões em relação ao que é apresentando pelos discursos midiáticos. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar como alunos de uma escola pública de Aracaju/SE vêem e associam a relação corpo, saúde e mídia, a partir da telenovela “Malhação” da Rede Globo de Televisão. Para a coleta dos dados, foi utilizado um questionário, e, diante das respostas dos alunos do ensino fundamental e com o diálogo realizado com a literatura investigada, refletimos e discutimos sobre temas como a preocupação com a saúde dos jovens, a imagem corporal difundida pelo veículo midiático, o padrão de beleza e tendências que aparecem na telenovela mencionada. Pudemos perceber que os alunos reconhecem a existência de determinados padrões corporais e estéticos veiculados pela telenovela, e que, de alguma maneira, relatam seguir tais modelos em seu dia-a-dia, o que, ao menos no pequeno grupo investigado, permite-nos constatar que há uma pequena influência do produto televisivo nos hábitos dos jovens, como vestuário e estilos musicais.
