Empowering women for labour mobility is acknowledged as a component of good midwifery care, yet challenges persist in hospital settings. While the benefits of antenatal education are recognised as supporting labour mobility, specific details and correlations with outcomes remain deficient. A comprehensive synthesis of interventions empowering women for labour mobility is lacking. This study aims to map strategies in antenatal education for labour mobility, utilising JBI methodology. The review will centre on antenatal education, highlighting crucial information for strategies to enhance women’s decision-making and childbirth self-efficacy, fostering labour mobility and upright positions during labour.
COMMENTARY PART 1: EVALUATING THE ASSOCIATION OF FEMALE OBESITY WITH THE RISK OF LIVE BIRTH FOLLOWING IVF - IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE
Authors: Schneider Emma , Hamer Oliver , Smith Chris , Hill James
Published: March 2024

Obesity is a well-established risk factor for infertility. Consequentially, women living with obesity may require fertility treatment to support them to conceive. Due to evidence suggesting obesity is also linked with poorer outcomes following in vitro fertilisation (IVF), local commissioning guidelines on assisted conception recommend a BMI of <30kg/m2 before IVF can commence. However, it is currently unclear if these guidelines are evidence based. This commentary aims to critically appraise a recent systematic review by Sermondade, et al., (2019) and expand upon the implications of the findings for clinical practice.

Authors: Schneider Emma , Hamer Dr Oliver , Smith Dr Chris , Hill James
Published: March 2024

Infertility is a widespread issue which is estimated to affect up to 17.5% of the global population. Evidence suggests that the most common causes of female infertility are ovulation disorders. That said, lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, alcohol consumption, smoking and obesity are key determinants which have been shown to impact female physiology and significantly decrease the chances of conception. Obesity has been widely recognised as a significant factor that negatively impacts ovarian stimulation in women and is associated with several reproductive disorders. Despite improvements in fertility treatments, obesity remains a challenge particularly for fertility clinics because of the poorer pregnancy outcomes observed within the population. In this article, we will explore the effects of weight loss on female fertility and review the various strategies that have been shown to be effective in reducing obesity and improving reproductive outcomes.

Authors: Ngarayana I Wayan
Published: March 2024

During light water reactor severe accident, source terms may interact with structural materials, generating new compounds and affecting their volatility which make the existing codes could not accurately estimate the radioactive release. Cesium is one of the source terms that can interact with structural materials and contributes greatly to the late release phenomenon. Several studies have been conducted to predict the physicochemical interactions between cesium and structural materials. However, the types of chemisorbed cesium compounds onto structural materials are still under discussion. For this reason, this study was carried out using advanced techniques, involving TEM, SEM, EDS and FIB to estimate the chemisorbed cesium compounds onto stainless steel structural material under simulated light water severe accident. This study indicates that cesium is strongly adsorbed on the oxide layer of stainless steel in the form of cesium silica, cesium aluminum silica, and/or cesium ferro silica. CsFeSiO4 and CsAlSiO4 could dominate these compounds.
Menelusuri Ragam Aktivitas Fisik Manusia Pendukung Situs Gilimanuk Bali Berdasarkan Markers Of Occupational Stress
Authors: Wibowo Dicky Caesario
Published: March 2024

So far, numerous studies have investigated the Gilimanuk site's archaeological remains. This study seeks to use evidence of occupational stress in human skeletal remains to provide an overview of the physical activities that likely occurred at the Gilimanuk site. A total of 212 long bone samples were examined for markers of occupational stress. These pathological alterations could provide an explanation for certain physical activities. The results suggest that the type of human physical activity observed at the site is not closely related to seafaring activities. These findings are then integrated with other data such as artifacts, ecofacts, and the environmental setting to discuss the interaction of the human occupation of the Gilimanuk site with the surrounding environment.

Electrochemical analysis of the corrosion resistance of annealed steel with nickel coating in marine environment simulations: chronoamperometric and voltametric study
Authors: Núñez-Perez Francisco Augusto
Published: March 2024

This study conducts a comprehensive investigation into the corrosion resistance of annealed steel wire, commonly used in marine construction, emphasizing its importance for the material's durability and functionality in such applications. An innovative approach was implemented by applying a Nickel (II) Chloride Hexahydrate coating through electrodeposition. This process was meticulously adjusted, varying critical parameters such as exposure time and electrical potential. To mimic marine corrosive conditions, a Sodium Chloride solution was used, allowing for a detailed comparative analysis between coated and uncoated samples. The evaluation was based on rigorous quantitative measurements of the wire's surface state and corrosion potential, using TAFEL curves for precise interpretation. The findings empirically demonstrated that the coating significantly enhances corrosion resistance, markedly outperforming untreated steel. These results reinforce the proposition of nickel electrodeposition as an effective and viable strategy for corrosion protection in marine industrial applications.

The exploration begins by addressing the evolving cultural concepts surrounding sexuality in China, challenging traditional norms influenced by Confucianism. Subsequently, it underscores the significance of sexual education in mitigating health risks, offering insights into successful international programs as potential models. The discussion extends to the pivotal role of comprehensive sex education in promoting gender equality, combating discrimination against sexual and gender minorities, and addressing issues of consent. Despite the recognized importance of sexual education, challenges persist in its implementation, primarily due to resistance and personal biases from educators and policymakers. The essay concludes by proposing effective strategies to overcome these challenges, emphasizing the role of higher education, gender science, and decolonizing education in shaping a more inclusive and informed approach to sexual health among Chinese adolescents.
The Application of the National Land Boundary Law and International Treaties in Domestic Law
Authors: Li Chaoqun
Published: March 2024

Article 31 of the National Land Boundary Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates the application of this law and international treaties, which is the technical embodiment of the incorporation of international treaties into domestic law. Through comparison, it is found that, unlike other Chinese laws that directly stipulate that “if this Law has different provisions from international treaties, international treaties shall apply”, Article 31 adopts the concept of “otherwise stipulated”. In this way, the particularity of land boundary and border management affairs is combined with the interpretation of “other provisions”, so as to solve the relationship and application of the Land Boundary Law and international treaties.
On the Improvement of the Rules on the Obligation of Interpretation by Judges in Online Litigation
Authors: Zhang Guojian
Published: March 2024

As a new way of litigation, the practice of online litigation has attracted great attention, especially online civil litigation, which has also become a hot issue in the field of civil litigation. The online judge’s obligation to interpret not only inherits the content of the existing obligation of traditional offline litigation, but also expands the scope of the obligation of interpretation, and the expansion of the online judge’s obligation to interpret adapts to the requirements of online litigation following the principles of fairness and efficiency, convenience and benefit. However, the existing rules on online litigation are relatively general in their provisions on the obligation of interpretation by online judges, and judges usually enjoy a certain degree of discretion in the exercise of the obligation to interpret in online litigation, which makes there are some problems that need to be solved urgently in the performance of judges’ obligation to interpret in online litigation.
“Label” Competition: Field Theory Insights into Inter-Governmental Competition and Transformation Path Among Chinese Cities
Authors: Ji Litu
Published: March 2024

Inter-governmental competition has always been a crucial area of exploration in understanding the behavior of governments. Against the backdrop of contemporary China, the development of the Internet and the increasing influence of communication media have brought to light the growing significance of “Labels” that encapsulate the internal functions, characteristics, or relative advantages of regions in assessing the capabilities of local governments. In this process, the creation and dissemination of urban “Labels” not only drive the new transformation path of inter-governmental competition but also contribute to the reform of the official construction of the capital structure and internal Habitus of urban government field. Based on Field theory, a systematic investigation is conducted on the urban “Labels” generated with the development and influence of the Internet and communication media. In-depth analysis of the logic of urban “Labels” generation reveals that the competitive strategy of urban governments is gradually shifting from the previous “clear distinction between Top-Down” mode to a comprehensive path of “integration of Top-Down and Bottom-Up.” At the same time, the evaluation mechanism has shifted from a single “indicator” evaluation to a more comprehensive judgment focusing on “events,” and the path has shifted from simple “competition” to “competitive cooperation” mode.
Exploring the Impact of Social Media on the Integration of Western Cultural Elements by University Students in China
Authors: Li Xinran , Liu Meihua , Su Chen
Published: March 2024

This paper delves into the profound impact of social media on the cultural dynamics of Chinese university students, with a particular emphasis on how these digital landscapes mediate the integration, adaptation, and at times, resistance to Western cultural elements. As digital platforms become increasingly central to daily life, they not only serve as conduits for global cultural exchange but also as arenas where cultural identities are negotiated and redefined. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of popular social media platforms among Chinese youth, such as Weibo, WeChat, and Douyin, this study uncovers the complex interplay between global cultural flows and local traditions. It examines how these interactions influence the formation of identity, the evolution of values, and the adoption of social practices among the youth in China. The investigation reveals that while social media facilitates the exposure to and engagement with Western culture, Chinese university students approach these encounters with a critical eye, selectively adopting elements that resonate with their personal and cultural identity while resisting those that conflict with traditional values. This selective engagement highlights a dynamic process of cultural hybridization, where Western influences are not merely absorbed passively but are actively interpreted, modified, and integrated into the fabric of Chinese youth culture. The findings underscore the role of social media as a significant force in shaping contemporary cultural landscapes, offering insights into the broader implications of digital technology on cultural globalization and identity formation in the context of China’s rapidly changing society.
Socialism with Haitian Characteristics
Authors: Mocombe Paul C.
Published: March 2024

This work argues that following the Haitian Revolution, which is a revolt against slavery and mercantilist capitalism, the founder of the country, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, attempted to synthesize three forms of system and social integration on the island in order to constitute the nation of Haiti: the mercantilist and liberal capitalism of the Affranchis, petit-bourgeois blacks and mulatto elites, respectively; and the Lakouism, communism, of the African majority on the island. In this sense, Dessalines, represented the first embodiment of Kojève’s end of history Hegelian thesis, and defined Haiti’s socialism, what Mocombe calls libertarian communism, with its Haitian characteristics.
Observations of the Upper Ocean from Autonomous Platforms During the Passage of Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon (2020)
Authors: Zimmerman Michael , Jayne Steven , Rainville Luc , Lee Craig , Toole John , Edson James , Clayon Carol Anne , Ekholm Alexander , Densmore Casey
Published: March 2024

Hurricane Epsilon (2020) was a late-season, category-3 tropical cyclone that underwent extratropical transition and became Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon on October 26. The upper ocean response to the passage of the storm was observed by three types of autonomous platforms: an eXpendable Spar buoy, an Air-Launched Autonomous Micro-Observer profiling float, and two Seagliders. Taken together, this array enabled the rare collection of contemporaneous observations of the upper ocean, air-sea interface, and atmospheric boundary layer before, during, and after the passage of the storm. The evidence presented suggests that Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon contributed to breaking down the residual North Atlantic summer stratification regime and accelerated the shift to the prolonged ocean cooling associated with winter. The synergistic capabilities of the observational array are significant for two reasons: (1) by enabling the comparison of complementary atmosphere and ocean observations, taken from different platforms, they permit a comprehensive approach to better understand how storm-induced momentum, heat, and moisture fluxes alter upper ocean structure, and (2) they demonstrate the ability of future, targeted deployments of similar observational arrays to assess the fidelity of coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave numerical prediction models.

Внезапная сердечная смерть (ВСС) — одна из доминирующих причин смертности в современном мире, которая продолжает оставаться серьезной медико-социальной проблемой для системы здравоохранения и общества в целом. Текущая риск-стратификация пациентов в аспекте первичной профилактики ВСС основана преимущественно на фракции выброса левого желудочка (ФВ ЛЖ), величина которой 35 % и менее служит решающим аргументом для имплантации кардиовертера-дефибриллятора (ИКД). Вместе с тем исключительно такой подход сопровождается относительно низкой частотой срабатываний ИКД для купирования жизнеопасных желудочковых аритмий. Подавляющее число умерших внезапно пациентов прижизненно обладают ФВ ЛЖ более 35 %, что указывает на необходимость лучшего понимания механизмов, лежащих в основе ВСС. Важное значение имеют дополнительные переменные, которые независимо или в комбинации с низкой ФВ ЛЖ могут улучшить предвидение ВСС. Гипертрофия левого желудочка (ГЛЖ) любой этиологии — сильный независимый фактор риска ВСС. С повышенной летальностью ассоциированы не только концентрический и эксцентрический варианты ГЛЖ, но и концентрическое ремоделирование ЛЖ без гипертрофии. В статье суммированы современные представления о патофизиологии ГЛЖ, приведен обзор публикаций, раскрывающих механизмы взаимосвязи ГЛЖ и ВСС в различных субпопуляциях кардиоваскулярных пациентов. Показано значение ГЛЖ как риск-стратификатора внезапной летальности независимо от сократительной способности миокарда.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the dominant causes of death in the modern world, which continues to be a serious medical and social problem for the healthcare system and society as a whole. The current risk stratification of patients in the aspect of primary prevention of SCD is based mainly on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the value of which is 35 % or less is the decisive argument for the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). However, this approach alone is accompanied by a relatively low frequency of ICD triggering to suppress life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. The vast majority of patients who die suddenly have an LVEF > 35 % in vivo, which indicates the need for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying SCD. Additional variables are important that, independently or in combination with low LVEF, may improve SCD prediction. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of any etiology is a strongindependent risk factor for SCD. Not only concentric and eccentric LVH variants, but also concentric LV remodeling without hypertrophy are associated with increased lethality. The article summarizes current ideas about the pathophysiology of LVH, provides a review of publications that reveal the mechanisms of the relationship between LVH and SCD in various subpopulations of cardiovascular patients. The value of LVH as a risk stratifier of sudden lethality is shown, regardless of the contractility of myocardium.

Diagnosing severity of the stroke requires a NIHSS score which is a graded neurological examination. However, despite its successes, there are problems with the NIHSS. The scale contains items with poor reliability and has been criticized for its redundancy and complexity may not capture the full range of stroke severity, particularly in those with very mild or severe symptoms. Over the last 10 years, the evaluation of the NLR as an emerging marker of diseases has become a compelling field of bio-medical research. However, the value of NLR in predicting the poor prognosis of stroke patients is still controversial. Patients of stroke ischemic from July to December 2023 at Royal Prima Hospital were studied to analyze the correlation between NLR to severity of stroke regarding vascular territory. Our investigation reveals no correlation between those two variablesation between those two variables.
