Published: August 2024

Character education is the main domain in balancing the cognitive abilities of learners. As the process of internalizing the values ​​of Islamic education can be adopted through the example of the heroes. This is due to the lack of critical studies related to the development of exemplary-based Islamic educational values ​​from heroes, especially for the millennial generation. On that basis, this study aims to investigate the internalization of Islamic education values ​​based on the example of national heroes in the millennial generation. This study adopted a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study method in the millennial generation in the Minangkabau tribe. The sample used was 33 students from various universities with Minangkabau ethnic backgrounds. Analysis of the data used  based on triangulation techniques with three ways of collecting data including limited interviews, observation and documentation. The results show that the values ​​of Islamic education in the millennial generation can be internalized through the adoption of exemplary figures, the distribution of the roles of heroes and the internalization of exemplary to oneself and the environment. The research findings identify the examples of the heroes can encourage the internalization of the values ​​of Islamic education in the millennial generation in  Minangkabau tribe.

The Impact of the Regional Public Debt Level on Regional Economic Growth Rates in Russia
Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation, Matevosova A.M.
Published: August 2024

This article estimates the impact of the level of regional public debt on the rate of regional economic growth in the context of socio-economic development of Russian regions. The results obtained are important for determining the optimal level of regional public debt in order to increase the efficiency of the Russian regional budget policy. The level of regional public debt is understood in this study as the ratio of regional public debt to its GRP. Considering the heterogeneity of regions in the modeling process, the subjects were clustered by the level of socio-economic development using the k-means algorithm. Further, the results of clustering were used in econometric models to identify differences in the level of regional public debt impact on the economic growth of regions depending on the level of their socio-economic development. Using panel data models for the subjects of the Russian Federation, the negative impact of the public debt level on regional economic growth rates was revealed for regions with a low and medium levels of socio-economic development. By implementing the Hansen procedure for the subjects of these clusters, the threshold level of regional public debt was found. It is equal to 2.36% of GRP, above which the neutral impact of public debt on economic growth is replaced by a negative one. For regions with a high level of socio-economic development it was found that changes in the level of public debt are neutral in relation to regional economic growth. These results allowed us to formulate recommendations for regional budget policy.
Sentiment and Herd Behavior of Private Investors: A Cluster Analysis of the Russian Stock Market
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Faizulin M.S.
Published: August 2024

In this paper, the sentiment of private investors and the divergence of opinions of users of online investment platforms are analyzed as factors in the emergence of herd behavior on the stock market in different clusters. This clusters are formed on the basis of stock exchange information on shares of Russian issuers. The relevance of the study lies in determining the significance of consensus periods and their impact on the behavior of different groups of investors on the Russian stock market depending on different levels of risk taking by investors. Based on the Russian stock market data for the period from 2019 to 2023, 66 discussed Russian stocks were analyzed. To conduct sentiment analysis, an algorithm was applied to collect and automatically classify textual data using machine learning methods. As proxies for private investor sentiment, metrics of logarithmic sentiment and market-wide divergence of opinions on the stocks under discussion were constructed. The testing of the research hypotheses was based on the implementation of clustering and quantile regression analysis methods. As a result, the significant role of divergence of opinions of Internet users in the formation of herd behavior of private investors on shares with lower average return and risk level was determined. It was also found that asset clustering helps to determine the opposite behavior of investors on stocks with higher volatility level. Consensus of opinions in the market is a signal to deviate from the general market trend. Finally, the test of the hypothesis about the significant influence of investor sentiment did not provide sufficient evidence that this kind of sentiment is important for determining herd behavior in the market.
Acalasia esofágica de presentación inespecífica
Authors: Bossio Rodrigo , Dapueto Gabriel , Vomero Alejandra , Notejane Martín , Broggi Andrés , García Loreley
Published: August 2024

Introducción: la acalasia es una entidad poco frecuente en pediatría. Es un desorden de la motilidad esofágica de tipo neurovegetativo, idiopático; aunque también puede ser secundario a infecciones, neoplasias y enfermedades autoinmunes. Se caracteriza por síntomas como disfagia, regurgitaciones, dolor y descenso ponderal. En adultos la manometría de alta resolución es el gold standard. En niños las dificultades técnicas complejizan su realización. En la actualidad la asociación de la impedanciometría intraesofágica con la manometría es el método diagnóstico más eficaz. El objetivo del tratamiento es mejorar el vaciamiento esofágico mediante la disminución del tono del esfínter esofágico inferior por métodos farmacológicos, endoscópicos o quirúrgicos. Actualmente la miotomía de Heller es de elección.
Caso clínico: escolar de 6 años, previamente sano, ingresado por regurgitaciones, dolor abdominal y adelgazamiento. Estudio radiográfico con bario con hallazgos compatibles con acalasia esofágica. Se descartaron causas secundarias. El tratamiento definitivo fue la miotomía de Heller con funduplicatura anterior de Dorr, presentando buena evolución clínica.
Discusión: si bien la disfagia es el síntoma clave y en general guía el diagnóstico, es importante estar alertas a las formas clínicas atípicas con presentaciones inespecíficas, como en el caso clínico presentado, esto permite establecer un diagnóstico oportuno, evitando el impacto nutricional y psicosocial del niño y su familia.

Authors: De Franco Micaela , López Analía , Acosta Agustina , De María Manuela , Álvarez Mariela
Published: August 2024

La ictiosis epidermolítica es una genodermatosis de herencia autosómica dominante poco frecuente que requiere un diagnóstico oportuno, idealmente prenatal, para así brindar una asistencia neonatal adecuada, iniciar un tratamiento precoz y de esta manera disminuir su morbimortalidad. Se caracteriza por la formación de ampollas, múltiples erosiones y descamación con eritrodermia desde el nacimiento. Todos los tipos de ictiosis queratinopáticas son causadas por mutaciones en los genes de la familia de queratina KRT1, KRT2 y KRT10. Se presenta el caso clínico de un neonato de 9 días de vida, nacido en el interior del país, con diagnóstico de ictiosis epidermolítica y antecedente familiar de primer grado con la misma enfermedad. El interés de esta publicación radica en la descripción de una genodermatosis de baja frecuencia, reconocer la importancia del diagnóstico precoz, conocer el manejo, las complicaciones y destacar la importancia de la atención por un equipo multidisciplinario conformado por neonatólogo, dermatólogos, genetistas y pediatras.

Published: August 2024

Introducción: la gastrosquisis congénita (GC) es una patología con creciente demanda asistencial. Atentos a esto, en el Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell (CHPR) se implementó un protocolo de cuidados llevado adelante por un equipo multidisciplinario. En este trabajo nos proponemos evaluar el impacto en la sobrevida y morbilidad a partir de su aplicación.
Material y método: estudio comparativo tipo antes y después de pacientes portadores de GC (n = 47), 29 de una cohorte histórica (GH) y 18 de una cohorte posaplicación de protocolo (GP). Con edad gestacional ≥ 36 semanas y peso al nacer ≥ 2500 g, asistidos en el CHPR entre los años 2016 y 2021.
Resultados: no se observaron diferencias perinatales entre ambos grupos, ni en la incidencia de GQ complicadas. En el GP se observó mayor incidencia de cierre abdominal precoz (p < 0,01), menor necesidad de realización de silo quirúrgico (p < 0,01), menor tiempo de administración de ventilación mecánica (p = 0,03), de uso total de opioides (p < 0,01), de administración de nutrición parenteral (p = 0,03), e inicio más temprano de la alimentación enteral (p = 0,03). Sin diferencias en la sobrevida al egreso hospitalario.
Conclusiones: la aplicación de un protocolo estandarizado se asoció a una reducción significativa en el tiempo de cierre abdominal, de ventilación mecánica, nutrición parenteral y de opioides, con inicio más precoz de la nutrición enteral.

Authors: De Agrela Mikaela , Arce Manuela , Notejane Martin , Lemos Felipe , García Loreley
Published: August 2024

Introducción: el déficit de hierro es la causa más común de anemia debido a carencia nutricional. Su tratamiento consiste en proporcionar alimentos ricos en hierro biodisponible junto con la administración de hierro oral. En circunstancias definidas puede utilizarse el hierro intravenoso.
Objetivo: describir el abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico de un niño portador de anemia ferropénica severa secundaria a mala adherencia al hierro oral en el que se utilizó hierro intravenoso.
Caso clínico: niño de 21 meses, raza blanca. Antecedente de anemia ferropénica severa, con repercusión hemodinámica que a los 14 meses requirió transfusión de sangre desplasmatizada. Sin controles de hemoglobina posteriores. Sin adherencia a profilaxis con hierro vía oral. Alto consumo de leche de vaca y bajo consumo de alimentos ricos en hierro. En el contexto de infección respiratoria aguda baja se constata anemia clínica con marcado decaimiento y anorexia, sin repercusión hemodinámica. Se confirma la anemia microcítica, hipocrómica severa, con ancho de distribución eritrocitaria elevado, con metabolismo de hierro alterado. Recibe hierro sacarato, intravenoso, por seis días con buena tolerancia y evolución.
Discusión: se identificaron múltiples factores de riesgo para anemia ferropénica. La pobre respuesta al tratamiento con hierro oral debido a efectos adversos y olvidos de administración, junto al antecedente de anemia ferropénica severa, que requirió transfusión de sangre desplasmatizada, motivaron la indicación de hierro intravenoso. Su administración fue programada y monitorizada, sin complicaciones. Es necesario fortalecer la prevención en todos los controles pediátricos y abordar este problema de salud desde una mirada interdisciplinaria.
geocausal: An R Package for Spatio-Temporal Causal Inference
Authors: Mukaigawara Mitsuru , Zhou Lingxiao , Papadogeorgou Georgia , Lyall Jason , Imai Kosuke
Published: August 2024

Scholars from diverse fields now use highly disaggregated ("microlevel") data with fine-grained spatial (e.g., locations of villages and individuals) and temporal (days, hours, or even seconds) dimensions to test their theories. Despite the proliferation of these data, however, statistical methods for causal inference with spatio-temporal data remain underdeveloped. We introduce an R package, geocausal, that enables researchers to implement causal inference methods for highly disaggregated spatio-temporal data. The geocausal package implements two necessary steps for spatio-temporal causal inference: (1) preparing the data and (2) estimating causal effects. The geocausal package allows users to effectively use fine-grained spatio-temporal data, test counterfactual scenarios that have spatial and temporal dimensions, and visualize each step efficiently. We illustrate the capabilities of the geocausal package by analyzing the US airstrikes and insurgent attacks in Iraq over various spatial and temporal windows.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Although chest pain in children induces anxiety among their parents and caregivers, various studies have reported that the majority of cases in children are benign and not related to cardiac disorders. Methodology and objectives: This is retrospective cohort file review study between January 2022 and December 2023, included all admitted pediatric patients due to chest pain. The study aimed to review the clinical profile and etiology of chest pain after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Albaha, Saudi Arabia. Results: We noted some pre- versus post-pandemic differences in the etiology and prevalence of chest pain. Idiopathic causes were the most common, but the incidence decreased from 56% pre- to 40.5% post-pandemic (p=0.20). Respiratory causes increased from 13% pre- to 21.4% post-pandemic (p=0.14) and became more common than musculoskeletal causes (18.6%; p=0.23). Gastrointestinal causes were slightly increased from 4% pre- to 8.4% post-pandemic (p=0.17). A slight uptick in psychogenic causes was observed from 4% pre- to 7.4% post-pandemic (p=0.16), and reported more in female patients. In contrast, cardiac causes decreased from 7% pre- to 3.7% post-pandemic (p=0.09). Conclusion: This study confirmed that pediatric chest pain has a benign origin in most cases. After the COVID-19 pandemic, mild differences in etiology and prevalence were noted, while psychogenic causes were slightly elevated.

The role of bioelectrical patterns in regulative morphogenesis: an evolutionary simulation and validation in planarian regeneration
Authors: Hansali Sammy , Pio-Lopez Léo , LaPalme Jennifer V. , Levin Michael
Published: August 2024

Endogenous bioelectrical patterns are an important regulator of anatomical pattern during embryogenesis, regeneration, and cancer. While there are three known classes of instructive bioelectric patterns: directly encoding, indirectly encoding, and binary trigger, it is not known how these design principles could be exploited by evolution and what their relative advantages might be. To better understand the evolutionary role of bioelectricity in anatomical homeostasis, we developed a neural cellular automaton (NCA). We used evolutionary algorithms to optimize these models to achieve reliable morphogenetic patterns driven by the different ways in which tissues can interpret their bioelectrical pattern for downstream anatomical outcomes. We found that: (1) All three types of bioelectrical codes allow the reaching of target morphologies; (2) Resetting of the bioelectrical pattern and the change in duration of the binary trigger alter morphogenesis; (3) Direct pattern organisms show an emergent robustness to changes in initial anatomical configurations; (4) Indirect pattern organisms show an emergent robustness to bioelectrical perturbation; (5) Direct and indirect pattern organisms show an emergent generalizability competency to new (rotated) bioelectrical patterns; (6) Direct pattern organisms show an emergent repatterning competency in post-developmental-phase. Because our simulation was fundamentally a homeostatic system seeking to achieve specific goals in anatomical state space, we sought to understand the role of anxiolytics that reduced concern over the distance to those goals. We simulated selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which diminished ability of artificial embryos to correctly interpret bioelectric patterns due to an altered organismal reward machinery, leading to higher variance of developmental outcomes, global morphological degradation, and induced in some organisms anatomical bistability. These computational findings were validated by data collected from in vivo experiments in SSRI exposure in planarian flatworm regeneration.
Scaling Up Psychological Interventions Into the Daily Lives of Patients
Authors: Ebrahimi Omid V. , Asmundson Gordon
Published: August 2024

While the demand for psychological treatments is high, only a small percentage of those in need receive treatment, indicating the current dominant mode of treatment delivery, individual therapy, is unlikely to meet the needs for psychological care. Beyond accessibility challenges, many individuals do not benefit from treatments related to factors such as delays in intervention delivery after an occurred challenge, and a detachment of the therapy setting from daily life where challenges occur. Treatments are further typically delivered in controlled therapy settings for one hour per week during an average of 112 waking hours, making it challenging for some patients to transfer learned skills to real-world contexts where they are most needed. This highlights the need for alternative approaches to deliver psychological interventions. While limitations in resources have traditionally constrained clinicians in treatment delivery, recent technological advances offer opportunities to extend psychological interventions beyond the therapy room in flexible and cost-effective ways. Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMIs) represent one type of scalable digital intervention that can be adopted to increase the frequency, reach, and extend the delivery context of psychological interventions. This article outlines how EMIs can be used to provide (a) personalized, (b) just-in-time-interventions (c) across diverse contexts to extend the reach of psychological treatments, and (d) increase the frequency of interventions for those in need of a greater number of interventions. It further highlights (e) how EMIs can function as standalone or complement existing treatments to (f) increase access and scalability of effective psychological interventions by freeing up resources, or (g) provide novel intervention possibilities, such as integration within stepped-care frameworks or as follow-up interventions to retain treatment effects after successful treatment. Additional opportunities and challenges are outlined toward the goal of improving the effectiveness and increasing the accessibility of psychological treatments.
Inhaltsvalidierung von Fragebogenitems zu kognitiver Aktivierung im Englischunterricht der Grundschule mittels Expert:innenbefragung
Authors: Guttke Joel , Porsch Raphaela
Published: August 2024

In their article “Content validation of questionnaire items on cognitive activation in primary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lessons using an expert survey,” Joel Guttke and Raphaela Porsch focus on the role of the basic dimension of cognitive activation in EFL lessons. Up to now, the findings on this central dimension of instructional quality have been rather inconsistent. Therefore, this contribution takes a closer empirically founded look at this dimension. It presents the results of an online survey with selected experts on the content validity of theory-based items designed to collect data on cognitive activation in fourth-grade EFL classes. The results suggest that the majority of items tap into construct-relevant aspects. Implications for the operationalisation of the construct and the revision of items will then be derived. The approach described also highlights the added value of expert surveys in the process of constructing new instruments in research-based foreign language teaching.

Published: August 2024

Background & Objectives: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is a diverse gram-negative bacillus that causes life-threatening invasive bloodstream infection and remains a public health burden in developing countries. The antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella typhi has led to widespread multidrug resistance strains making complication in the treatment and demanding alternative therapies. Various diagnostics test such as blood culture, serological assay, and molecular assay are available. PCR is a newer gold standard method, but blood culture is still considered a definitive diagnosis of typhoid fever.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Venous blood was collected, and a widal test was performed to detect antibodies against O and H antigens in serum. Blood culture, isolation, and identification were performed using the standard techniques. The antibiogram of isolates was performed by the Kirby Bauer method. Amplification of the hilA gene through PCR was used for the molecular diagnosis.
Results: Out of 141 suspected typhoid patients, 78 were males, and 63 were females. PCR detected maximum positivity rate (70%) followed by Widal test (43.26%) and blood culture (16.25%). PCR positive cases were highly prevalent in the male in less than 15 years of age group (14.8%), followed by 15-30 (12.7%) and 30-45 (9.1%). The isolated organism was found to be 100% sensitive to most antibiotics studied, except ofloxacin, which showed 71.4% sensitivity. In contrast, all the isolates were 100% resistant to nalidixic acid. None of the isolates showed multi-drug resistance.
Conclusion: PCR is a sensitive, rapid, and better alternative than conventional methods that can be used in clinical diagnosis for early detection of the Salmonella typhi.

Background & Objectives: Nitroglycerin, a potent vasodilator, is crucial in managing blood flow dynamics in patients recovering from Myocardial Infarction (MI). This research aims to comprehensively review the role of nitroglycerin in regulating blood flow and enhancing cardiovascular performance post-MI.
Materials and Methods: Blood flow was modeled as a Herschek-Bulkley fluid. The study derives expressions for various blood flow characteristics, including pressure, viscosity, resistance to flow, and wall shear stress. Pharmacological mechanisms of nitroglycerin, its effects on vascular function, and its role in mitigating ischemic events are explored.
Results: The findings indicated that blood flow increases with the height of stenosis. Nitroglycerin effectively dilates blood vessels, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and easing blood flow. Clinical applications, including administration routes, dosage regimens, and potential adverse effects, are discussed.
Conclusion: Nitroglycerin plays a pivotal role in managing blood flow post-MI by dilating blood vessels and reducing peripheral vascular resistance. This mechanism contributes to improved cardiovascular outcomes and symptom relief in patients recovering from MI. Understanding its multifaceted role is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies and enhancing patient care.

This paper examines various aspects of the life of protagonist Agu and other child soldiers evolved in the war in Uzodinma Iweala’s novel, Beasts of No Nation. The concern of this paper is to explore the after-effects of West African Freedom War on the life of children from the perspective of child soldiers. The effects of trauma on the ruined life of child soldiers in their post war life formulate their social status regarding future generation too. The question of child right during guerilla war in unnamed West African country is the major concern of the novel including other factors those have serious impact upon the lives of the people living in West Africa. The research tool used for research is traumatic effects for the development of psychology in life of people with reference to Cathy Caruth, Van der Kolk and Ruth Leys. The research methodology used for analysis is library research textual analysis. The major finding is that the study of the discourse of traumatic effects of child rights violations that Iweala builds up in Beasts of No Nation with the psychological nuances creating mental disorder in the life of child soldiers. It tries to do so through a spotlight on how the novel presents trauma as post-war life experience of children where the traumatic experience distorts life of children.</
THE DIALECTIC OF ISLAMIC LITERACY AND ADAT CONSERVATION: REMOTE COMMUNITY RECEPTION OF HADITHS IN THE KHUTBAH NAGA MANUSCRIPT OF WEST PAPUA

Published: August 2024

This study seeks to explore the pattern of hadith reception in the da’wah practices within the Muslim community of Lilinta, Raja Ampat. In particular, it aims to explore how the hadith text, articulated in Arabic, continues to influence local behaviors, beliefs and customs, despite the community’s lack of cognitive understanding of the language. Employing the living hadith approach and adopting Stuart Hall’s reception theory, this study reveals that Lilinta community demonstrates a habitus pattern of ‘negotiation’ in hadith reception. This study found that while on the one hand the redaction of the hadith was not literally understood by the local Muslims, but the essence of hadith was practiced as cultural doctrines. The pattern of hadith transformation suggests that the hadith and its practices co-exist on divergent paths. Practice transpires through doctrinal channels, while the narrative remains misunderstood. This communal-practical living hadith, grounded in habitus rather than cognition, culmi­nates in robust, albeit static traditions. This study concludes that hadith effectively molds the behavior and beliefs of the Lilinta community when viewed from the practiced behaviors over cognitive understanding.

Authors: Isoihati Auliya , Saadi Yusron , Murtiadi Suryawan
Published: August 2024

The Meninting Dam Construction Project is part of the National Strategic Project (PSN). Delays can occur in any project, including the construction of the Meninting Dam in West Lombok. This study aims to identify and analyze risk factors impacting the project, determine the risks classified as dominant major risks, and evaluate the residual risks of the Meninting Dam construction project to formulate risk responses that minimize the impact on the project. The study employs the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Probability Impact Matrix (PIM) methods and uses related sources as theoretical foundations. Based on the study results, the Meninting Dam project identified four factors that most significantly affect delays using the FTA method: 1) “Delay in decision-making by the owner,” probability = 17.443%, 2) “Lack of control over work by Construction Management,” probability = 13.771%, 3) “Inadequate planning and control by the Contractor,” probability = 17.207%, and 4) “Weather intensity or high rainfall/heat,” probability = 13.041%. From the identification, four dominant risk variables with high risk levels were obtained using the PIM method: 1) Objections from local residents regarding land acquisition, 2) Delays in material arrival, 3) Delays in procurement of work equipment, and 4) High rainfall causing uncompact soil to become landslides. The risk mitigation category used in this study is risk reduction. The assessment of residual risk shows that of the four risks initially at a high level, these risks decreased after risk mitigation, with two risks becoming moderate and two risks becoming low.

Published: August 2024

This paper critically examines the notion of patriarchy as depicted in selected short stories by Ruskin Bond. Through a detailed analysis of stories such as Time Stops at Shamli, Night Train at Deoli, The Woman on Platform 8, and A Face in the Dark, this review explores how Bond subtly weaves patriarchal elements into his narratives. Bond’s portrayal of patriarchal structures is often implicit, reflecting the deeply ingrained social hierarchies in Indian society. His stories provide a microcosmic view of gender dynamics, where the authority and control exercised by male figures often overshadow the agency of female characters. In Time Stops at Shamli, the story delves into the introspective journey of the male protagonist who is confined by societal expectations. The tale reflects the pervasive male dominance that shapes the destiny of the characters, subtly underscoring the role of patriarchy in controlling personal choices. Similarly, in Night Train at Deoli, the male gaze, represented through the protagonist's fascination with a young woman, reinforces traditional gender roles where women are often passive subjects of male desire and fantasy. The Woman on Platform 8 presents a departure from typical patriarchal norms, showcasing a woman who defies societal expectations by assuming a nurturing and protective role towards a stranger. However, the underlying power dynamics still reflect the male-centered worldview that permeates much of the narrative. In contrast, A Face in the Dark addresses the authority of male figures, as the interaction between a teacher and a mysterious boy echoes the control and power inherent in patriarchal systems. This review aims to explore how Ruskin Bond’s stories both conform to and challenge patriarchal norms. By drawing on thematic elements of gender, power, and control, this paper highlights Bond’s nuanced portrayal of patriarchal structures, offering readers insight into the often-overlooked aspects of gender politics in his works. Through this exploration, the paper seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on gender representation in Indian literature, especially within the context of short stories, where subtle and intimate portraits of everyday life often reveal larger societal truths.

This piece explores commonly held adult beliefs about young people’s play and challenges some of these ideas through published research and examples from child and youth participatory fan cultures. We begin this piece by examining some of these misconceptions and myths, primarily the ideas that children’s play is in decline, that children’s play is trivial and non-productive, that popular culture reduces children’s desire to play, and that children are no longer creating their own cultural artifacts (Small 259). Challenging these assumptions, we discuss the ways that children and youth engage in three participatory fan activities—writing fanfiction, creating fan videos, and participating in cosplay—drawing on examples from a range of popular youth fandoms including Harry Potter, Girl Meets World, Percy Jackson, The Avengers, Monster High, and The Hunger Games.
