Authors: Algaraady Jeehaan , Alrahaili Musaad
Published: August 2022

This paper aims to explore parents' satisfaction and awareness towards online schooling efficiency using Saudi online learning platform (Madrasati) in the first three grades of primary schools during the COVID-19 Pandemic and to potentially alternate face-to-face classroom learning post-pandemic. It focuses on the advantages and disadvantages. A survey-based questionnaire is used to collect data from ninety-nine parents and a mixed-method of qualitative and quantitative is applied. The descriptive statistical method is used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that, however, this modality has disadvantages and is stressful for parents as their kids' progress relies heavily on their support, the parents and their kids generally had positive beliefs about online schooling and highly recommended the implementation of online learning after the pandemic. It is recommended for successful and efficient online schooling, the Ministry of education policymakers should enhance and support online pedagogical methods, teachers' training courses, and appropriate curriculums.
Identity formation in Proverbs 22 and the Mkpuru Mmiri drug crisis in Igbo communities
Authors: Uroko Favour C.
Published: August 2022

Although progress, no matter how small, has been made by scholars who examined different aspects of the Mkpuru Mmiri [methamphetamine or crystal meth] drug crisis in Nigerian Igbo communities, literature is yet to approach the study from the perspective of Proverbs 22 of the Old Testament. In this study, literature was extended to examining the Mkpuru Mmiri crisis from the lens of Proverbs 22. Today, many youths in Igbo communities are addicted to Mkpuru Mmiri, a stimulant drug. As part of the findings, it was discovered that the effects of Mkpuru Mmiri include paranoia, hallucinations, delinquency and other behaviours inimical to social well-being and even death. Addiction to Mkpuru Mmiri is seen in the increasing number of unstable young people on the streets of the various states in Igbo communities. The author of the book of Proverbs teaches how youths are to live responsible and happy lives. According to Proverbs, evil conduct will always result in divine vengeance and punishment during a person’s earthly life. The themes include ‘home and personal training (vv. 1–6)’, ‘consequences of one’s actions (vv. 4–23)’ and the ‘reasons to avoid bad company (vv. 24–29)’.Contribution: Addiction to Mkpuru Mmiri has no recognised cure. This may be seen in the growing number of unruly young people on the streets of Nigeria’s south-east states. Practical theology is one of the disciplines implicated.
Personification of empire and Israel and the role of appearance and speech in the Judith story
Authors: Van Henten Jan W.
Published: August 2022

This article analyses how the Assyrian Empire and Israel in the Book of Judith are configured through the personification of both: the Assyrian empire is personified by King Nabouchodonosor and his commander Holofernes and the Israelite or Jewish nation is personified by Judith. In her encounter with Holofernes, Judith manages to seduce and mislead Holofernes by her appearance and use of words, which ultimately leads to the defeat of the Assyrian army. The applied methodology builds on narratology concerning space and characterisation and theories of space. It includes a semantic analysis of the key word πρόσωπον (‘face’, ‘presence’, ‘person’).Contribution: The article demonstrates that personification and appearance are important features of the Judith story.

Therapeutic choices of hypertensive and diabetics in rural areas: A mixed study in two health zones in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo.Background: One third of patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) do not use the formal health system to access healthcare.Aim: In this manuscript we analyse the therapeutic decisions of hypertensive and diabetic patients in rural eastern DRC and the reasons for these decisions.Setting: The study was conduct in two health zones (HZ) in South Kivu (Bagira and Walungu), DRC.Methods: A mixed-methods convergent study was conducted from November 2018 to December 2018. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire and qualitative data were collected using focus groups. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a Fischer exact test, while the qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Out of 382 subjects declaring a chronic pathology, hypertensives and diabetics represented 21.5% and 7.9%, respectively. Health facilities were the first therapeutic choice of the chronically affected persons. The alternative therapeutic choices found were the use of prayer rooms, consultation with traditional healers and self-medication. Poverty, ignorance, the pharmaceutical business, and the socio-cultural dimension of the disease are the main causes of alternative therapeutic choices for hypertensives and diabetics.Conclusion: To ensure appropriate care for patients with chronic diseases in rural areas, it is important to establish a bridge of regulated collaboration between the formal and informal health sector.
Prevalence and pattern of intimate partner violence among men and women in Edo State, Southern Nigeria
Authors: Oseni Tijani I.A. , Salam Tawakalit O. , Ilori Temitope , Momoh Mojeed O.
Published: August 2022

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a growing concern in Nigeria and globally. Although women are at greater risk of IPV, men are also affected, but this is less reported.Aim: This study sought to determine the prevalence and pattern of IPV among the respondents and to compare the pattern of IPV among the male and female respondents.Setting: The study was conducted in six towns (local government headquarters) across the three senatorial districts in Edo State, Southern Nigeria.Methods: The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional, community-based study. A multistage sampling technique was used in selecting 1227 respondents from Edo State, Southern Nigeria. A semistructured, interviewer-administered questionnaire and the Extended Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream (E-HITS) tool were used to collect data, which were analysed with Epi Info version 7.1.2.0.Results: The study found an IPV prevalence of 37.7% among the respondents (confidence interval [CI]: 95%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.169–0.294). The mean age was 38 ± 12 and respondents were mostly female (725, 59.1%), married (770, 62.8%) and unemployed (406, S33.1%), with a tertiary level of education (766, 62.4%). Intimate partner violence was significantly higher among women compared with men (95% CI: 4.474, OR: 3.425–5.846). The pattern of IPV showed a lower OR between sexual and physical IPV (95% CI: 0.276, OR: 0.157–0.485). There was a higher likelihood of IPV among married women (95% CI: 1.737, OR: 1.279–2.358).Conclusion: There is a need to improve the socio-economic status of the Nigerian populace, especially women. Healthy, nonviolent and safe relationships should be promoted in communities by signalling what is socially unacceptable and strengthening sanctions against perpetrators.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an under-diagnosed public health problem affecting women with attendant negative bio-psycho-social ramifications, and unfortunately there is no universally agreed recommendation for routine hospital IPV screening currently.Aim: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of IPV among women and their perceptions towards screening.Setting: The study was carried out in a hospital in Southwest, Nigeria.Methods: The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional study of 347 consenting women. Respondents were recruited using systematic random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaire adapted from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Multi-Country Study Questionnaire on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence against women. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used and a p-value 5% was considered significant.Results: The prevalence of IPV among the sample was 71.2%. The most common IPV pattern was controlling behaviour (49.6%) while sexual violence (19.6%) was the least. The majority (85.0%) of the respondents agreed that routine IPV screening should be done for women while 96.5% believed that it would enable doctors to help identify victims. The belief that it will help physicians in making a correct diagnosis, shared by 10.7% of the respondents, was statistically significant (odd ratio [OR] = 2.592, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.180–5.694, p-value = 0.018). A total of 37 respondents (10.7%) were about three times more likely to have experienced IPV than others.Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of IPV and the women are open to routine hospital IPV screening, with the belief that it will help physicians to make an accurate diagnosis of IPV.Contribution: This research was done by majority of family health specialists, in Nigeria, an African country. The focus of the research was distinctly with an African perspective, in the field of family medicine which has a public health implication and effect on the community.
The effects of traditional healing on HIV and AIDS management: An ethnographic study
Authors: Ndou-Mammbona Avhatakali A.
Published: August 2022

Background: This article presents the effects of traditional healing on the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the Vhembe district, South Africa. The Vhembe district is one of the rural districts in Limpopo Province, South Africa, in which traditional healers are used as the first point of consultation for most ailments, regardless of their causes.Methods: This ethnographic study was based on Leininger’s theory of culture care diversity and universality. It was carried out in selected villages in the Vhembe district. Observation and interviews with 15 purposively selected key informants, who are traditional healers, were used to collect data. Interviews were tape-recorded and field notes were also taken. The data were analysed using the ethnographic content analysis method.Results: The results suggest that traditional healing has both negative and positive effects on HIV and AIDS management. The positive effects are the effective treatment of some opportunistic infections, such as diarrhoea, skin lesions and childhood diseases. Negative effects, however, include incisions to let the ‘dirty blood flow out’ and inducing of vomiting and diarrhoea, which may lead to anaemia, dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Some traditional healers are of the view that HIV does not exist and that people either have an ancestral calling or are bewitched. Even though their claims have not been scientifically proven, some traditional healers stated that they can heal HIV and AIDS.Conclusion: The research brings insight as to whether Vhavenda traditional healing has a favourable or unfavourable impact on HIV and AIDS management. Using Leininger’s steps for adaptation for culture care diversity and universality will help with re-Africanisation of HIV management. The researcher recommend the modification of practices with a high risk of HIV infection to reduce this risk, whilst also supporting the continuation of beneficial practices that reduce HIV mortality, such as diarrhoea management.
Workplace bullying in a South African higher education institution: Academic and support staff experiences
Authors: Badenhorst Marius , Botha Doret
Published: August 2022

Orientation: Workplace bullying is a common occurrence in organisations worldwide, and higher education institutions are no exception.Research purpose: This study was conducted with the aim of determining the perceptions of workplace bullying amongst academic and support staff at a higher education institution in South Africa and to ascertain how they are affected by selected sociodemographic variables.Motivation for the study: Currently, there are limited published research studies reporting on the prevalence and/or experience of workplace bullying at tertiary education institutions in South Africa.Research approach/design and method: The study used a quantitative-based survey design. The research setting was limited to one higher education institution in South Africa. The target population of the study comprised all academic and support staff of the institution. A web-based standardised questionnaire was used to collect the data.Main findings: The results revealed that the respondents experienced negative behaviours related to exclusion the most, followed by managerial misconduct, humiliation and belittlement and hostility the least.Practical/Managerial implications: Understanding and addressing workplace bullying is critical to counteract this problem in organisations. The longer the phenomenon is left unattended, the worse it will become and the more difficult it will be to combat. Employers can play a pre-emptive role in the prevention of and intervention in workplace bullying.Contribution/value-add: The study sheds light on the experiences of bullying at a South African university and adds to the body of literature on bullying in the tertiary education sector in the national context.
Reimagining systems that support early childhood development centres in offering quality education
Authors: Aina Adebunmi Y. , Bipath Keshni
Published: August 2022

AbstractSystems ensure the attainment of goals at any educational level, including quality early childhood education. Various studies focus on the benefits and components of quality early childhood education, yet none emphasise systems that will support early childhood development (ECD) centres in offering quality education. This study explored existing systems that support ECD centres in providing quality education to young children. The study adopted a qualitative research approach and collected data through document analysis and face-to-face interviews with eight participants purposively selected from four ECD centres situated in Pretoria. The data were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that national policies, internally generated policies and financial systems support the participating centres in offering quality education. However, many of the participants did not know the existing national policies. The findings also revealed that ECD centres in the township area do not have financial systems to help them provide quality education. The study recommends effective implementation strategies to foster awareness and enforce strict adherence to government policies at ECD centres. The study contributes to awareness and adherence to quality early childhood education by suggesting that ECD centres, principals and teachers should engage in relevant and practical training on effectively establishing systems from the available national education policies that will help them offer quality education.Contribution: This study adds to the body of knowledge by filling in the gaps on how ECD principals and teachers understand national policies and translate them into systems that assist them in managing their centres on a daily basis. The novelty of this study is the empirical input from different disciplines (Early Childhood Education and Management and Policies Studies), in a way that enables one to comprehend the role of educational management and policies studies at the early childhood learning centres in South Africa, which is the emphasis of the Journal for Transdisciplinary Research in Southern Africa.
Isolated Pure Orbital Blowout Fracture - A Rare Case Report
Authors: Shetty Sujeeth Kumar , Saritha R. Suprathima , Singh Snober
Published: August 2022

Rationale

An orbital fracture is said to be a pure blowout when it affects only one internal orbital wall and does not compromise the orbital rim. Pure blowout fracture of the orbital floor without any other associated facial bone fracture is uncommon.

Patient Concerns

The patient with a history of assault presented with complaints of blurring of vision and diplopia.

Diagnosis

Computed tomography of paranasal sinus scans and ophthalmologic examination confirmed the right orbital floor fracture.

Treatment

Herniated orbital contents were retrieved and the orbital floor was reconstructed with titanium mesh under general anaesthesia.

Outcomes

The patient was followed up regularly for six months and showed no signs of any visual disturbances.

Take-away Lessons

Although orbital floor fractures are commonly associated with zygomaticomaxillary complex and midface fractures, it is uncommon as an isolated finding in facial trauma. It can be easily misdiagnosed and left untreated, which can give rise to future complications.
Primary Tubercular Osteomyelitis Affecting the Mandibular Condyle - A Case Report
Authors: Gupta Aishwarya Ashok , Jadhav Anendd A. , Bhola Nitin D. , Mishra Apoorva S. , Simre Saurabh Sunil
Published: August 2022

Rationale

Primary orofacial tuberculosis (TB) accounts for <3% of all cases of TB. TB of the mandibular condyle is often misdiagnosed owing to its rarity.

Patient Concerns

This report presents a 19-year-old female who presented with a painful swelling over the right preauricular region. The radiographic evaluation suggested a diagnosis of suppurative osteomyelitis of the condyle.

Diagnosis

Clinically, the aetiology of the swelling was considered as infective. The histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed tuberculous granuloma and the polymerase chain reaction came positive.This confirms the diagnosis of tubercular osteomyelitis. Mantoux test and sputum acid-fast bacilli were found to be negative.

Treatment

The patient was subjected to sequestrectomy with high condylectomy and systemic multidrug antitubercular regimen for 6 months.

Outcomes

There was a resolution of infection postoperatively with subsequent regeneration of healthy bone.

Take-away Lessons

Early identification and prompt diagnosis is imperative for better treatment outcomes.

Published: August 2022

Background & objectives:

Globally, vaccination is considered as an important public health strategy to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the current study was to conduct an in-depth inquiry to explore perceptions of community members around COVID-19 vaccines in the southern city of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This was conducted during the early phase of the vaccine rollout programme in India.

Methods:

A qualitative investigation was conducted between January-February 2021 through in-depth interviews. Healthcare workers, religious leaders, community influencers, local administrators and representatives of marginalized communities were included. The key informant interview guides and probes explored five domains; (i) vaccine availability, (ii) trust in COVID-19 vaccines, (iii) vaccine-related concerns, (iv) health/risk balance and (v) vaccine prioritization. Transcripted interviews were coded using a thematic approach and analyzed manually as well as with the help of ATLAS.ti 9 software.

Results:

Eagerness to receive COVID-19 vaccines amongst some of the respondents was linked with freedom from fear, possible restoration of normalcy, protection of family and ability to travel and work abroad. Concerns around threat of emergence of new variants, damage caused by such viral mutants and trust in policymakers were other facilitatory influencers for vaccine uptake. On the other hand, doubts surrounding safety and fear of side effects of COVID-19 vaccine were the feeders to vaccine hesitancy. Lack of accurate information, sensational media reports and rumours exacerbated this fear and provoked anxiety among people. Apprehensions around COVID-19 vaccine in the wake of its rapid development and approval for use and reluctance to take it during the declining phase of the epidemic were identified as other inhibitory factors. Participants underlined the importance of having responsive communication strategies in place focussing on vaccine safety. Making vaccines available to people free of cost and ensuring wider access were other programmatic suggestions.

Interpretation & conclusions:

In conclusion, our study findings suggest that it is essential to remain engaged with communities and execute evidence-based information dissemination strategy about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. We identified that it is also imperative to sensitize and train media professionals on how to report side effects related to vaccines. Responsive communication strategies will thus have the potential to serve as a key public health approach pertaining to future pandemic preparedness as well as to manage the demands of clinical and public health issues in an ongoing pandemic situation.
Pretreatment hematological parameters as predictors of tumor granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor expression in patients of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Waghmare Chaitali Manohar , Pawar Hemant J. , Deshpande Nikhil Sanjay , Karle Ravindra R. , Angarkar Nandakishor N. , Thakur Pradeep Kumar
Published: August 2022

Background:

Tumor secreting granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and/or G-CSF therapy has been documented as a poor prognostic factor. Tumor G-CSF study is a relatively costly and sparsely available investigation. Therefore, this study was undertaken to predict tumor G-CSF score from pretreatment hematological parameters (PTHP) in patients of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Materials and Methods:

This pilot study was performed after institutional ethics committee approval. Consecutive nonmetastatic HNSCC patients of oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx registered from February to December 2019 were analyzed. Patients whose PTHP and formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded tissue were available, were included. PTHP (absolute neutrophil count [ANC], absolute monocyte count [AMC], absolute lymphocyte count [ALC], neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio [PLR]) done before any active oncology treatment, were noted. A semiquantitative tumor G-CSF score was calculated. Tumor G-CSF score and PTHP were correlated with clinicopathological factors. Statistical analysis was performed using SYSTAT version 12.

Results:

Data of 47 eligible patients were analyzed. The median age at presentation was 60 years. The male-to-female ratio was 43:4. The most common head-and-neck subsite was oropharynx (31.92%), and majority of patients presented with Stage IVA disease (51.1%). Higher tumor G-CSF score was significantly associated with a higher T-stage (P = 0.013). Tumor G-CSF score was directly proportional to ANC, AMC, and ALC while it was inversely proportional to NLR and PLR. Regression equations to predict the tumor G-CSF score when PTHP are known, were determined.

Conclusions:

PTHP can predict the tumor G-CSF score which may guide G-CSF-directed therapy. Future studies with large number of patients are needed to elucidate its clinical use.
Prawowitość procedur sejmowych. Fair play reasumpcji głosowania
Authors: Zubik Marek
Published: August 2022

Legitimacy of parliamentary procedures, fair play of voting reassumption The author analyses a procedure in the Polish parliament applied when a vote raises justified doubts on a specific issue. The text begins with the discussion of events that took place in August 2021 during a session of the Sejm at which the bill of the Broadcasting Act was considered. The provisions of this draft bill would result in the largest private broadcaster independent of the government having difficulties in renewing its television broadcasting license. The clash of economic interests, the power of the media, and the political dispute had an impact on the temperature of the parliamentary debate. However, the author tries to show how it was possible to apply the binding provisions in the light of the previous parliamentary practice and customs. The position of legal science is presented, mainly legal opinions drawn up against the background of the disputed use of the voting repetition procedure. The article also indicates the constitutional boundaries within which the parliament must operate when it intends to correctly order a repeat vote.
Stan epidemii a stany nadzwyczajne
Authors: Rybski Robert
Published: August 2022

Epidemic state vs. state of emergency The announcement of the state of epidemic threat in Poland on 13 March 2020 and the subsequent announcement of the state of epidemic was not accompanied by a formal introduction of any of the types of state of emergency defined in Chapter XI of the Constitution. Taking into account the ubiquity of regulations introduced in connection with the state of epidemic, as well as the enormous (and unprecedented) scope and intensity of interferences in constitutional freedoms and rights, this very article constitutes an attempt to verify whether the prerequisites to introduce the state of emergency in March 2020 were not fulfilled and therefore it was only (sic!) not promulgated in a manner prescribed by the Constitution. The novelty of this study consists in focusing the analysis solely on the initial four weeks since the introduction of the state of epidemic threat in the country. The first area of the analysis covers a verification of the way in which the state bodies operated within the analysed timeframe – especially whether their extraordinary operation did not occur (including that of constitutional state bodies). The second analysed area is the legal framework introduced under the state of epidemic threat and the state of epidemic. It is then compared against the characteristics of the state of emergency. The third area under analysis concerns establishing whether there exists an obligation to introduce the state of emergency. Only such a thorough analysis makes it possible to discuss the matter of potential consequences resulting from the materialisation of prerequisites necessary to introduce the state of emergency without a simultaneous promulgation of one of the constitutional types of state of emergency.

The term of the Ombudsman and the constitutional principle of trust for the state and the law. Commentary on Constitutional Tribunal Judgement of 15 April 2021, case K 20/20 The commentary presented in the paper is doctrinal and has descriptive and interpretive aims. It discusses the Tribunal’s judgement concerning the unconstitutionality of one of the provisions of the Act on the Ombudsman. According to the provision, the Ombudsman shall continue to perform duties after the end of term and until the election of the new Ombudsman. In the Tribunal’s view, the provision provided an unconstitutional extension of the Ombudsman’s term. Since the judgement was passed by the unconstitutionally elected members of the Tribunal and it was to remove Adam Bodnar (the former Ombudsman) from the office, it has to be interpreted in the context of the current constitutional crisis in Poland. The article argues that the Tribunal’s reasoning was constitutionally wrong, logically incoherent, and far from clear if considering the well-established case-law. Moreover, the paper explains how the Tribunal and the President of the Tribunal violated the law on the assignment of judges to the Tribunal’s panels and the constitutional principle of judicial independence. The concluding remarks focus on the possible legal consequences of unlawfulness in the Polish constitutional order, which does not directly provide any review of the Tribunal’s judgements or its President’s actions.

Nghiên cứu này góp phần kiểm tra mức độ ảnh hưởng của cảm xúc đạo đức đến ý định ủng hộ môi trường bao gồm ý định tránh ô nhiễm và ý định tiêu dùng xanh bằng việc tiến hành khảo sát 325 người từ 18 tuổi trở lên đang sinh sống trên địa bàn Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Kết quả khảo sát thể hiện cảm xúc tự ý thức (niềm tự hào và cảm xúc tội lỗi) có tác động mạnh hơn đến ý định tránh ô nhiễm và ý định tiêu dùng xanh so với cảm xúc do nhân tố bên ngoài định hướng (lòng biết ơn và cảm xúc lên án). Ngoài ra, chỉ số tác động cũng chỉ ra rằng những cảm xúc tích cực (ví dụ: niềm tự hào và lòng biết ơn) thể hiện tác động mạnh mẽ hơn đến ý định ủng hộ môi trường so với cảm xúc tiêu cực (ví dụ: cảm xúc tội lỗi và các cảm xúc lên án). Tuy nhiên, kết quả cho thấy chưa đủ bằng chứng để kết luận có sự điều tiết của yếu tố nhận thức kiểm soát hành vi lên các mối quan hệ trong mô hình. Nghiên cứu này góp phần làm phong phú thêm tài liệu tại Việt Nam liên quan đến hành vi ủng hộ môi trường và hỗ trợ cho các nhà hoạch định chính sách và các nhà quản trị xây dựng chiến lược khuyến khích tích cực thực hiện hành vi tiêu dùng xanh và hành vi tránh gây ô nhiễm.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: To characterize child, parent, and family adjustment for patients followed in a multidisciplinary spina bifida (SB) clinic. Methods: Participants were drawn from clinical cases seen through a multidisciplinary outpatient SB clinic at a children’s hospital between 2017 and 2019. Participants included 209 youth under 19 years old who were diagnosed with SB and their parents. Self-reported internalizing symptoms were measured in youth in grade 3 through 12 using the 25-item Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale-25 (RCADS-25). Self- and parent-reported quality of life and family functioning were obtained using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 Generic Core Scales and Family Impact Modules. Results: A total of 45.7% of children and adolescents reported at-risk psychosocial functioning on the PedsQL. In contrast, only 5% of patients reported clinically elevated internalizing symptoms on the RCADS. Parents’ quality of life and family functioning in the study were higher than in most studies of parents of children with other chronic health conditions, children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, and healthy control samples. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that children and adolescents with SB are at risk for poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL); however, poorer HRQOL may not necessarily be associated with more severe psychiatric symptoms in this population. Examining resilience factors that may help to buffer against challenges to HRQOL will be important in informing future interventions.
Demystifying Spina Bifida Guidelines Using a Periodicity Schedule
Authors: Chaney Jessica Y. , Taha Asma A. , Pinter Joseph D.
Published: August 2022

Background:

Spina bifida is a congenital neural tube defect that affects the spine and spinal cord, as well as the brain in many cases, with life-long health-related consequences. In most cases, the term spina bifida refers to open myelomeningocele but includes a spectrum of dysraphic conditions. Early recognition and comprehensive care improve long-term health, well-being, and quality of life and decrease the use of emergency services and hospitalizations over the lifespan. Current evidence-based care guidelines are comprehensive, but they are not easily interpreted in busy primary care settings. The development of a periodicity schedule serves to simplify the current spina bifida guidelines into a document that is easy to use by all practitioners and families.
Tuza's Conjecture for Threshold Graphs
Authors: Bonamy Marthe , Bożyk Łukasz , Grzesik Andrzej , Hatzel Meike , Masařík Tomáš , Novotná Jana , Okrasa Karolina
Published: August 2022

Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint
triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free
graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum
average degree, including planar graphs. However, for dense graphs that are
neither cliques nor 4-colorable, only asymptotic results are known. Here, we
confirm the conjecture for threshold graphs, i.e. graphs that are both split
graphs and cographs, and for co-chain graphs with both sides of the same size
divisible by 4.

We present a finitary version of Moss' coalgebraic logic for $T$-coalgebras,
where $T$ is a locally monotone endofunctor of the category of posets and
monotone maps. The logic uses a single cover modality whose arity is given by
the least finitary subfunctor of the dual of the coalgebra functor
$T_\omega^\partial$, and the semantics of the modality is given by relation
lifting. For the semantics to work, $T$ is required to preserve exact squares.
For the finitary setting to work, $T_\omega^\partial$ is required to preserve
finite intersections. We develop a notion of a base for subobjects of $T_\omega
X$. This in particular allows us to talk about the finite poset of subformulas
for a given formula. The notion of a base is introduced generally for a
category equipped with a suitable factorisation system.
We prove that the resulting logic has the Hennessy-Milner property for the
notion of similarity based on the notion of relation lifting. We define a
sequent proof system for the logic, and prove its completeness.
Instance reducibility and Weihrauch degrees
Authors: Bauer Andrej
Published: August 2022

We identify a notion of reducibility between predicates, called instance
reducibility, which commonly appears in reverse constructive mathematics. The
notion can be generally used to compare and classify various principles studied
in reverse constructive mathematics (formal Church's thesis, Brouwer's
Continuity principle and Fan theorem, Excluded middle, Limited principle,
Function choice, Markov's principle, etc.). We show that the instance degrees
form a frame, i.e., a complete lattice in which finite infima distribute over
set-indexed suprema. They turn out to be equivalent to the frame of upper sets
of truth values, ordered by the reverse Smyth partial order. We study the
overall structure of the lattice: the subobject classifier embeds into the
lattice in two different ways, one monotone and the other antimonotone, and the
$\lnot\lnot$-dense degrees coincide with those that are reducible to the degree
of Excluded middle.
We give an explicit formulation of instance degrees in a relative
realizability topos, and call these extended Weihrauch degrees, because in
Kleene-Vesley realizability the $\lnot\lnot$-dense modest instance degrees
correspond precisely to Weihrauch degrees. The extended degrees improve the
structure of Weihrauch degrees by equipping them with computable infima and
suprema, an implication, the ability to control access to parameters and
computation of results, and by generally widening the scope of Weihrauch
reducibility.

The application of machine learning algorithms to the detection of fraudulent credit card transactions is a challenging problem domain due to the high imbalance in the datasets and confidentiality of financial data. This implies that legitimate transactions make up a high majority of the datasets such that a weak model with 99% accuracy and faulty predictions may still be assessed as high-performing. To build optimal models, four techniques were used in this research to sample the datasets including the baseline train test split method, the class weighted hyperparameter approach, and the undersampling and oversampling techniques. Three machine learning algorithms were implemented for the development of the models including the Random Forest, XGBoost and TensorFlow Deep Neural Network (DNN). Our observation is that the DNN is more efficient than the other 2 algorithms in modelling the under-sampled dataset while overall, the three algorithms had a better performance in the oversampling technique than in the undersampling technique. However, the Random Forest performed better than the other algorithms in the baseline approach. After comparing our results with some existing state-of-the-art works, we achieved an improved performance using real-world datasets.
El reto de la supervisión escolar frente a la estrategia Nacional de Educación Inclusiva en México
Authors: Villa Núñez Miriam
Published: August 2022

El objetivo de este ensayo es reflexionar sobre el papel de la supervisión escolar frente a la Estrategia Nacional de Educación Inclusiva. Se comienza con un recorrido histórico de la educación inclusiva en México y enfatiza en la necesidad de crear un lenguaje común sobre la inclusión a partir del análisis de los conceptos que la sustentan. Se destaca el desafío de crear escuelas inclusivas implicando a los miembros de la comunidad escolar para eliminar las barreras de aprendizaje y participación. Además, se destaca la necesidad de asesorar, acompañar y apoyar a directivos para concebir que la educación inclusiva implica gestionar una escuela en la que todos quepan. Se concluye en que el diseño de dispositivos de formación y la creación de espacios de encuentro para generar diálogos pedagógicos permitirían conformar comunidades profesionales de aprendizaje para fortalecer el liderazgo directivo.
Ciencia de datos e inteligencia artificial como apoyo para investigaciones cualitativas
Authors: Leal Rivero José Javier
Published: August 2022

El presente artículo, se presenta con el propósito fundamental de precisar la aplicabilidad de la denominada “Ciencia de Datos” (Data Science) y sus herramientas de “Inteligencia Artificial” (IA), como apoyo al desarrollo de investigaciones cualitativas, aplicadas al estudio de fenómenos sociales complejos. La metodología se corresponde con el denominado Análisis Comparativo Cualitativo, para ello se toman los datos de una investigación cualitativa, referencial, desarrollada usando el método Fenocomplejo, fundamentado en los Modelos de Sistemas Viables de Stafford Beer y la Fenomenología Hermenéutica de Van Manen. Los hallazgos se enfocaron en la comparación de las relaciones existentes entre frases y palabras, así como a los sentimientos emanados desde las anécdotas protocolares de cuatro profesores universitarios activos en dos universidades públicas del estado Trujillo. Finalmente se considera que la Ciencia de Datos y la Inteligencia Artificial son perfectamente aplicables, y recomendables, como apoyo al desarrollo de este tipo de investigaciones
Ley para la promoción y uso del lenguaje con enfoque de género: Utopía y distopía educativas
Authors: Prince Torres Ángel Carmelo
Published: August 2022

Este ensayo tuvo como propósito analizar la relación de la utopía y distopía en las implicaciones sobre la implementación de la Ley para la Promoción y el Uso del Lenguaje de Género, dentro del sistema educacional de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela. En este sentido, se manifestó el punto de vista del autor sobre la aprobación de ese nuevo texto legal, y la realidad de la protección de género con un enfoque inclusivo en el mencionado país.  Se determinó que es discordante que se establezca la obligación del uso de lenguaje de género dentro de las escuelas, cuando en la realidad el Estado venezolano ha dejado en orfandad a todas aquellas personas que se ven afectadas de forma real en cuanto a esta materia. Se concluyó que la realización de estudios basados en la etnometodología y el interaccionismo simbólico podrán ser útiles para determinar el impacto social de este hecho.

Review On Autism Spectrum Disorder Detection Using Machine
Learning Algorithm
Authors: Tintu Varghese  , K Anuradha
Published: August 2022

Autism Spectrum Disorder may be a condition associated with brain development that impacts how
a person perceives and socializes with others,causing issues in social interaction and
communication.The disorder additionally includes restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior.The
term “spectrum” in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide selection of symptoms and
inflexibility.Autism spectrum disorder includes conditions that were antecedently considered separate
- Autism,Asperger’s syndrome,childhood disintegrative disorder and an unspecified form of
pervasive developmental disorder.Some people still use the term “Asperger’s syndrome” which is
mainly thought to be at the mild finish of autism spectrum disorder.Autism Spectrum disorder begin
in early childhood and eventually lead to problems with social functioning-for example ,in social
interaction,school,and work.Children usually show symptoms of autism within first year of life.A
small number of children appear to be developing normally in the first year and then go through a
regression phase when they develop autism symptoms between 18 and 24 months of age.Although
there is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, early intensive treatment can significantly improve the
lives of many children.
The aim of this paper is to study different machine learning algorithm to detect and predict Autism
Spectrum Disorder.
