Prevalence of COVID-19 Pandemic Threat; Implications of Social Quarantine as Preventive Public Health Intervention
Authors: Kazmi Shiza
Published: April 2023

The emergence of coronavirus back in 2019 posed an epidemic threat to global public health security even after the execution of precautionary and control measures. The infectious disease was first identified in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly to multiple countries. Gradually, it caused casualties of people with a large number of coronavirus cases. Different countries implemented several interventions to mitigate the human-to-human transmission of this disease including travel restrictions, setting up isolation centers, lockdowns, and social quarantine. A systematic search was implemented through five electronic databases (PubMed, WHO, NIH, Scopus and Google Scholar). Research studies that were published until 30th May 2021 were included in this study, and eligibility criteria were selected for this review. The study shed light on the critical aspects of the implications of social quarantine preventive intervention to avoid the spread of COVID-19. The lessons learned from the pandemic can help the future preparedness and response plan to combat the progression of this disease. Yet limited studies have been conducted about the socio-economic impact of these social-distancing measures for most vulnerable populations. In this study, various research studies that have reported the positive and negative impact of physical distancing on the population were evaluated. In this situation, the Pakistani government must combat the coronavirus disease and take steps to improve the economic condition of the country. Special attention must be paid to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable populations such as the disabled, older population, homeless and poor populations to lessen the risks of coronavirus disease. Policymakers must ensure transparency in communication and provide evidence-based interventions to tackle the worse situation. The countries must coordinate their efforts to develop antivirals and vaccines for the treatment of infectious fatal diseases. Government must support the community through access to the use of technology, and home care to older residents, deliver health counseling services, and deliver home-based learning. All countries must use print, electronic and social media wisely and they must be coordinated, and provide education and social awareness among the citizenry regarding how to avoid being infected.

Published: April 2023

Background: It can be very stressful for students to be under constant pressure to succeed in becoming highly qualified healthcare professionals. Postgraduate and professional students were found to experience higher levels of stress than usual when age and gender were compared with populations of the same type. Negative effects of stress include poor academic performance, diminished reasoning ability, decreased coping and difficulty following graduate courses.  Objective: To learn about coping mechanisms and stress among postgraduate medical students in Lahore. Methods: This study included 101 postgraduate medical students from the campuses of private universities in Lahore and Islamabad. Informed consent forms were used to include participants. Google forms were used to create an online survey, which was then shared on Instagram and WhatsApp. A perceived stress scale was used to access the various stressors and the brief COPE inventory was used to look at the students' efficient coping mechanisms. An analysis of postgraduate students' coping mechanisms and the relationship between stress and gender was done. The data from Google forms were processed, placed into Microsoft Excel and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The findings were presented in the form of tables and graphs. Results: Among postgraduate medical students or nearly one-fourth (21.8%) of participants reported high stress, while 72.3% reported moderate stress, with men reporting higher levels of stress than women. The most common coping strategies were active coping, acceptance, planning and religion. Conclusion: It seems that graduated students are under more stress and positive psychological approaches should be made available by university administration and professors to help students deal with the demands of pursuing a degree in the medical field. Ignoring these elements would not give students the best chances for learning and employment.

Published: April 2023

Background: Diastasis recti abdominis is an impairment that is characterized by the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba. There is an increased distance between the two recti muscles which is termed “inter-recti distance”, that might exist congenitally, but usually develops during pregnancy and in the initial postpartum period. Objective: To determine the association between diastasis rectus abdominis and lumbopelvic pain in postpartum females. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the data was collected from various public and private hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan in six-month duration. Convenient sampling was used to include 97 postpartum females aged between 25 and 35 years. Those postpartum females were excluded who had any history of auto-immune disease, cerebral disease or any spinal issue. After getting their consent, the postpartum females were asked about their age and mode of delivery and they filled self-structured assessment questionnaire The body mass index of patients was calculated and Pearson’s correlation was applied to find out the association between lumbopelvic pain and diastasis recti abdominis. Results: The occurrence of diastasis recti abdominis was 81(83.5%) out of 97 postpartum females and their inter-rectus distance was greater than 16mm at 2cm below the umbilicus. A significant association was found between lumbopelvic pain and diastasis recti abdominis in postpartum females (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study concluded that diastasis recti abdominis is significantly associated with lumbopelvic pain in postpartum females. Out of 97 postpartum females who were included in this study 81 were reported to have diastasis recti abdominis and out of these 81 postpartum females 47 were reported to have lumbopelvic pain in their postpartum period.

Authors: Hermosa-Vega Gustavo Gabriel
Published: April 2023

Las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES) son organizaciones autónomas que buscan satisfacer diversas necesidades del mercado. Gracias a su tamaño, estas entidades tienen la capacidad de innovar; sin embargo, su crecimiento se ve limitado por factores externos del entorno en el que operan. Por tanto, es necesario analizar los distintos factores que impiden su desarrollo económico. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una investigación experimental utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance descriptivo, exploratorio y explicativo mediante el método deductivo e inductivo. La información necesaria se recopiló a través de encuestas, observación y focus groups. Se elaboró un instrumento confiable y validado por expertos y el Alfa de Cronbach. Los resultados evidenciaron que la mayoría de las limitaciones de las PYMES se deben a factores administrativos y estratégicos que no se ejecutan adecuadamente, lo que afecta su capacidad para generar ventas y sustentarse en el mercado. Varios autores sugieren que la falta de estrategias innovadoras es uno de los mayores obstáculos que enfrentan estas entidades y, por tanto, es crucial establecer estrategias que les permitan crecer y perdurar en un mercado cada vez más competitivo

Published: April 2023

The field of renewable energy utilized is expanding. For this reason, many researchers in this field have centered on investigating the utilization of sustainable energy and diminishing the utilization of fossil fuels.  The VAWTs is one of the sorts of wind turbines that are right now broadly utilized. Utilizing the Darrieus wind turbine, its beginning torque value is little due to the little projected area in contact with the wind stream. To extend this beginning torque, the vane-type blade with a vertical axis of revolution has been installed, which contains movable vans and installed with a three straight- bladed Darrieus airfoil (NACA0012) on the same turning shaft. In this paper, the characteristic of a combined three–blade vane type and three-bladed Darrieus turbine was talked about computationally by utilizing CFD (Fluent) software’ with k-ω turbulence model and commercial accessible solid work 2016. Through present study, the results gotten demonstrate that the beginning torque of the combined wind turbine increases when the blades with even movable vans are installed with the straight -bladed Darrieus wind turbine.  Expanding the starting torque of the combined turbine because the wind stream is freely passed without any resistance through the movable vanes that are completely open on the inverse side of the wind direction, leads to an increment within the output power of the turbine compared to the comes about confirmed within the published sources of the vertical axis wind turbine, which has different shapes.

The Polarization of Orientation Amongst The Local on Cultural Land Utilization for Ecotourism Development in Ranah Minang Sumatera Barat
Authors: Rachmatullah Adam , Avenzora Ricky , Sunarminto Tutut
Published: April 2023

The dynamics of problems related to land occupation, ownership of cultural land, and agricultural land in Indonesia, especially in Ranah Minang, West Sumatra, have become so serious they need to be solved first before trying to achieve the ideals of sustainable development. The research methodology used in this study was a phenomenological approach. The data were analyzed through the One Score-One Criterion Scoring System. The mean values obtained for the phenomenon of cultural land-use patterns in the region were very good in many aspects. On the other hand, the dynamics of stakeholder perceptions, motivations, and preferences did not indicate any directional bias or attitudinal scale among actors over the use of cultural land. This would be different if observed in the dynamics of perception and ecotourism motivation by generating inferences of the direction polarization and attitude scale among actors. The strategy for this purpose was to optimize various aspects of land-use patterns for ecotourism development: 1) strengthening the function of cultural lands as precious treasure; 2) creating a communal business field; 3) optimizing the productivity of agricultural commodities as added value for land users; 4) establishing no-building zones in certain strategic areas as well as providing incentives to land users.
The study on determination interactions between liquid crystals and nanoparticle: Fluorescence spectra of nanoparticle-doped liquid crystals
Authors: KARA Yunus Emre , GÜLSEVEN SIDIR Yadigar , HOROZ Sabit
Published: April 2023

Liquid crystals, which are between the solid state of matter and the liquid state, are materials with interesting molecular structures. They are molecular materials that show both the properties of solid crystals and the properties of liquids. Materials whose physical properties change depending on the particle size, whose dimensions are at the nanometer level, are nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can be produced in many different types, depending on their size and structural shape. We obtained fluorescence graphs by combining liquid crystals and nanoparticles in solvents with three different characteristics. The liquid crystals we used in this study are 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Methoxybenzoate (4PP4MetoxB), 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Pentylbenzote (4PP4PentB), and 4-Pentylphenyl 4-(Octyloxy)Benzoate (4PP4OctoxB). Other materials we use are ZnS, CdSe, and CdS nanoparticles. We created new materials by combining these liquid crystals and nanoparticles in solvents. We examined whether the liquid crystals and nanoparticles in the newly formed materials interact in solvents and how the fluorescence graphs change according to the fluorescence graphs of liquid crystals.

Interparadigmality as a State of Contemporary Musical Culture
Authors:   Glinka Nizhny Novgorod State Conservatoire, Sidneva Tatiana B.
Published: April 2023

The aim of this article is to define the problem of the “laminary” state of contemporary musical culture, in which various paradigms of artistic experience that have emerged and established in different periods of cultural history coexist and actively interact with each other. The cultural paradigm is comprehended as a complex hierarchical integrity formed by an internal unity of ideas, intuitions, and feelings that permeate the entire vertical of life. The classical and non-classical universal models of culture with their local-historical and metahistorical dimensions are present at the highest level of paradigmatic generalization. The internally heterogeneous classical paradigm reflects the demand for a creative attitude towards clarity, completeness, perfection, rationally comprehensible order and harmony. The non-classical paradigm, marked in musical creativity from the first modernist experiments to the postmodernist playing with the near and distant past, manifests the setting of “breaking down” traditions, overcoming the inertia of the past, as well as bringing in radical experiments in the field of sound and its organization. Against the background of the “fatigue” from postmodernism at the turn of the 20th and the 21st centuries in music scholarship, there are broad discussions currently happening of such concepts as post-postmodernism, metamodernism, and postnonclassics, all of which assert a breakthrough toward new strategies of art. At the same time, none of these tendencies that lays claim to paradigmatic significance reflects a holistic picture of the art of music in its aesthetic, stylistic, and linguistic plurality. Perhaps the important reason for this is the tendency to remain in the simultaneity of the different models of artistry. This way, it seems natural to examine the borderline artistic phenomena in the direction of interaction of paradigms. In order to determine the relevant processes in music culture, the productivity of the introduction of the term “interparadigmality” is substantiated. Among the key parameters of interparadigmality, the author identifies the simultaneous relevance of various cultural modes, aesthetic values, and genre-style models. Interparadigmality, which fixates the openness and mobility of the boundaries between different cultural models, corresponds with the concept of crisis (as being at the border), with the idea of “creolization” and “creolized systems” (the definition of Yuri Lotman), and the terminology of the “philosophy of instability” created by Ilya Prigozhin. At the same time, it is particularly interparadigmality, by bringing chaos to the borderline areas of paradigm interaction, which becomes applicable to the search for a holistic approach to contemporary musical realities.
Liturgical Musicology in Belarus: Pro et Contra
Authors:   Belarusian State University of Culture and Arts, Gustova-Runtso Larisa A. ,   The Center for Belarusian Culture, Language and Literature Research  of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus
Published: April 2023

The article presents the field of musicological research, which was designated as “liturgical musicology” in the famous monograph by Ivan Gardner Liturgical Singing of the Russian Orthodox Church. The author provides various variants of the name of the object of study of liturgical musicology and emphasizes the development of research-related interest in the music of the Orthodox Church in its different regions. In a broad sense, “liturgical musicology” signifies musicological research in the field of the liturgical (church) chanting practice and liturgical (church) singing. In a narrow sense, this definition is interpreted as musicology the object of study of which is formed by musically sounded out (chanted) church (liturgical) canonical texts. The article presents an interpretation of the concept of “liturgical musicology” as a method of research, and also describes the operations of its application. Among the large number of research works by scholars in Russia and other countries, liturgical musicology is most vividly represented by the study of Ivan Gardner and the collective works of The Knight of Cantorial Ministry, Father Matthew (Mormyl) and Archpriest Michael Fortunato. Spiritual Testament. The article examines a number of research works devoted to the study of the Belarusian liturgical singing practice of the Orthodox Christian tradition and presents a retrospective analysis of the development of Belarusian liturgical musicology. Russian and Soviet researchers laid the foundation of Belarusian liturgical musicology in the 19th and 20th centuries. They systematized the available historical and archaeological information about church singing in the Kiev Church Metropolis and provided characterization to Belarusian (Lithuanian) church music manuscripts. Present-day Belarusian scholars have reconstructed the history of the development of the national liturgical singing practice formed on the basis of the intonational reinterpretation of the Byzantine, folksong, Polish-Latin and Russian traditions; they have demonstrated its intonational independence and ethnic identity which is determined by the peculiarities of pronunciation of the consonants and the prosody of the sung text. The article provides characterization to the regional peculiarities of the liturgical singing practice and its influence on the formation of personality and examines the individual stylistic features of the musical work of cantorial and church composers which contribute to the diversity of the aural element of church worship. The author analyzes the works of Belarusian scholars in the context of the liturgical musicological method of research.
Sergei Prokofiev’s Music for Mikhail Romm’s Film The Queen of Spades
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Yu Yang
Published: April 2023

Among the artists-creators who have turned to the musical-theatrical or musical-cinematographic interpretation of Alexander Pushkin’s The Queen of Spades and thereby risked to enter into a dialogue, or even into polemics with Piotr Tchaikovsky’s immortal opera, Sergei Prokofiev presents a striking example. His artistic tandem with cinema producer Mikhail Romm was formed in 1936, however, the film The Queen of Spades for various reasons turned out to be inaccessible to the viewing audience. The music to the film project, which failed to be realized, was almost completed by the composer and has for many years attracted conductors and film producers. Within the focus of the scholarly interest of the author of the present article is the story of the creation of the music for the film, as well as its analysis based on art studies. This work of the composer turns out to be simultaneously quite organic for the master’s legacy, possessing the traits of his style, and quite original, when compared to other works connected with Pushkin’s immortal novelette. Research experience has made it possible to compensate for the prior perceptions of Prokofiev as a cinematic composer, and also to make a certain contribution in the questions connected with the dialogue of the arts and, more broadly, with the cultural dialogue. Developing itself within the framework of musical Pushkiniana, the sought dialogue overcomes space and time, initiating the invisible connection between past, present and future.

Published: April 2023

Los enterococos se han convertido en patógenos oportunistas refractarios a la farmacoterapia antimicrobiana. Con el objetivo de identificar las especies y analizar la resistencia de Enterococcus spp a vancomicina y linezolid, se analizaron 721 cepas obtenidas de pacientes del Hospital de Especialidades “José Carrasco Arteaga”- Ecuador, entre enero 2019-diciembre 2021. La especie más frecuente fue E. faecalis (73,9%), E. faecium (22,6%), otras especies (3,22%). Se observó diferencia significativa para E. faecalis (p< 0,05). El mayor número de cepas provenía de hospitalización (44%), emergencia (21,2%), consulta externa (17,9%) y UCI (16,9%). Se observó diferencia significativa para el servicio de hospitalización (p < 0,05). En las muestras de orina se obtuvo el mayor porcentaje de aislamientos (49,8%), seguido de las secreciones (23,7 %) y sangre (18,5%). La resistencia a vancomicina fue de1,8% y correspondió a tres cepas E. faecium (1 portaba vanA y 2 vanB). El 1,7% de los E. faecalis fueron resistentes a linezolid (5 con gen optrA). Los Enterococcus spp tiene un importante papel como productores de infecciones en la institución hospitalaria. Aunque la resistencia a vancomicina y linezolid es baja, se recomienda la realización de pruebas rutinarias de susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos a fin de monitorear la aparición de resistencia
Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Organizational Justice; Mediatory Role of Job Satisfaction and Knowledge Sharing
Authors: Mubahsir Asim , Ahmed Osama , Kazmi Syeda Quratulain , Zaman Sohaib uz , Bhojani Naeem
Published: April 2023

The current investigation emphasizes the association among views of justice (across all three dimensions) and organizational citizenship behavior, as well as any potential mediating impact of job satisfaction and knowledge sharing. This investigation looks at the three aspects of justice perceptions. Data were obtained from 304 workers in Karachi's service industry utilizing cross-sectional surveys and quantitative techniques. Smart Pls 3 was applied for examining the data, and the results indicated that the relationship between the sense of justice and citizenship behavior is mediated by job satisfaction, but that knowledge sharing does not mediate within them. The research demonstrates that OJ and OCB have a substantial and favorable association and that OCB is profoundly affected by each justice in organizations and job satisfaction. On the other hand, the examination has constraints mainly because it only explores the impact of two mediators on OCB and three organizational justice dimensions. Data collection relied on convenience sampling of workers from service-providing firms in Karachi, and the study did not consider the longitudinal effect due to time constraints. Future research can delve deeper into the relationship between these variables by incorporating demographic factors in testing models, examining multiple contributing factors to job satisfaction, and including additional variables in the analysis for a comprehensive understanding of OCB, particularly in the manufacturing industry. Conducting the study in different cities and regions in Pakistan can also broaden the view of the population's perceptions of justice and OCB. This study addresses the pressing need to address issues such as organizational justice and how they can be tackled within the vicinity of work.

The fisheries of the Philippines are dominated by aquaculture, the farming of animals and plants for food and other products. With declining fish stocks in marine waters because of overfishing and habitat degradation, more than 1.7 million small fisherfolk dependent on fishing for their livelihood are among the country’s “poorest of the poor”. More than 70% of the total aquaculture production comes from coastal aquaculture with the farming of seaweeds, oysters, and mussels in open coastal waters (<200 m deep) and milkfish and other fishes in pens and floating cages. Oceanic aquaculture, farming in the deep sea (>200 m), is still in its infancy in the country. Mariculture parks such as the Panabo City Mariculture Park in Davao del Norte are a model for an integrated approach to sustainable coastal aquaculture. Expansion of coastal aquaculture in the country requires the dissemination of improved varieties of seaweeds to farmers and management of the ‘ice-ice” disease. Meanwhile, for the cage culture of milkfish and species, the establishment of more hatcheries/nurseries and the development of efficient and cost-effective feeds are needed. The creation of a Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is endorsed to give more support and attention for the further development and sustainability of the country’s coastal and oceanic aquaculture for food security and livelihood generation.

Problema: A Atenção Primária à Saúde, após a pandemia de COVID-19, necessitou diversas adaptações para garantir o acesso à saúde. Para manter uma aproximação da comunidade no início da pandemia, um grupo de residentes da área de saúde da Unidade de Saúde Costa e Silva, em Porto Alegre (RS), organizou um programa de rádio de transmissão via WhatsApp, o “Fica em Casa”. Este artigo reflete sobre a construção do programa e seus desdobramentos. Método: Trata-se de um relato de experiência de uma rádio criada com base no diário de campo dos envolvidos, com  reflexões acerca dela. Resultados: O programa “Fica em Casa” é uma forma de rádio expandida que não se limita à transmissão hertziana, mas consiste em uma iniciativa de radiodifusão comunitária em sua essência social, participativa e cultural. As vozes da equipe sugerem segurança para a comunidade como um espaço de micropolítica e valorização da autonomia em resposta à desinformação. Conclusão: O “Fica em Casa” funcionou como forma de acesso à saúde, educação popular, direito, resistência, memória e arte.

Der etwas andere Weg einer nachhaltigen Finanzierung
Authors: Halfar Bernd , Zehrt Jürgen
Published: April 2023

Die Sozialwirtschaft zählt zu den geeigneten Sektoren für einen wirtschaftspolitisch gestützten Ansatz, nachhaltig zum Klimaschutz beizutragen. Zumal hier das Wirkungspotenzial einer Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie mit einer hohen Bereitschaft vieler Akteure korrespondiert, schon bis 2035 klimaneutral zu werden. Bisher fehlt es jedoch an finanziellen Anreizen für energiesparende Investitionen. Eine spezielle Zertifikatslösung könnte helfen. Informationen dazu von Prof. Bernd Halfar und Prof. Jürgen Zehrt, Mitglieder im Beirat der Zeitschrift SOZIALwirtschaft und des Informationsdienstes SOZIALwirtschaft aktuell.
Nachhaltigkeitsberichte werden zur Pflicht für große Kapitalgesellschaften
Authors: Heitmann Christian , Langen Michael
Published: April 2023

Spätestens seit den Beschlüssen der Weltklimakonferenz im November 2021 zur Begrenzung der Erderwärmung auf 1,5 Grad sowie der Fridays-for-Future-Bewegung sollte jedem klar sein, dass nachhaltiges Handeln die einzige Chance ist, unsere Erde zu erhalten und ihre Bewohnbarkeit zu sichern. Die Schaffung eines Einklangs von Ökonomie, Ökologie und Sozialem wird damit zur Pflicht eines jeden Individuums und Unternehmens – gleich welcher Größe. Die Zeit drängt: Ab dem Geschäftsjahr 2025 müssen auch viele sozialwirtschaftliche Unternehmen einen Nachhaltigkeitsbericht erstellen.
Der rechtliche Rahmen für Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte in der Sozialwirtschaft
Authors: Hörmann Rafael , Fischer Patrick
Published: April 2023

Akteure der Sozialwirtschaft verfolgen meist steuerbegünstigte Zwecke. Doch eine Förderung von Klima- und Umweltschutz ist gewöhnlich nicht vom Satzungszweck gedeckt. Die isolierte Verfolgung von Nachhaltigkeitsaspekten gilt damit nicht als eigener gemeinnütziger Zweck und könnte gemeinnützigkeitsschädlich sein. Trotzdem können bei Aktivitäten sehr wohl Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte berücksichtigt werden. Dr. Rafael Hörmann und Patrick Fischer von der Kanzlei Campbell Hörmann PartG mbB sagen, welche Faktoren dabei zu beachten sind.
Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit als Kernaufgaben der Sozialen Arbeit
Authors: Winnig Lea
Published: April 2023

Die Wohlfahrtspflege kann einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit leisten. Eine künstliche Trennung von ökologischen und sozialen Themen ist dabei nicht zielführend – nur gemeinsam gelingt die Transformation. Wichtige Partner für nachhaltigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel und soziale Innovationen sind Zivilgesellschaft, Wissenschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft. Unerlässlich für die Umsetzung sind gute politische Rahmenbedingungen wie eine nachhaltige Finanzierung.
Sequential Speciation Analysis of Metals in Geological Samples by Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Xu Jiaquan , Chen Huanwen
Published: April 2023

Sequential analysis of metal speciation in geological samples has been demonstrated using mass spectrometry (MS). Various speciation for metal occurrences, such as water-soluble, exchangeable, oxidable, reducible, and crystalline, have been sequentially extracted from geological samples using a homemade device, followed by online ionized for MS analysis. The metal speciation in geological samples was not only useful for revealing the formation mechanism of geological samples but also beneficial for guiding the separation and exploitation of metals. Compared with the conventional methodology, the present approach takes the advantages of short analysis time (1 h), low sample consumption (1.0 mg), and high recovery (>95%), providing a useful platform for the efficient quantitative speciation analysis of metals in geological samples. This chapter introduces the mechanism and application of the MS approach for the analysis of rare earth minerals, dinosaur fossils, soil, etc.
Magnetoelectric Composites-Based Energy Harvesters
Authors: Garg Tarun , M. Goyal Lickmichand
Published: April 2023

Electrical energy generation from renewable resources has been a quest in the last few decades to meet the energy demand of electrical appliances and gadgets. More importantly, portable gadgets and devices, wireless sensors, etc., which rely on batteries require intermittent charging, and it is difficult to find an omnipresent continuous electrical energy source connected to a power station for these batteries. Alternate to these power stations connected to electrical energy sources is harvesting the energy from omnipresent mechanical and acoustic vibrations and AC magnetic field. Energy harvesting from these waste energy resources is possible using piezoelectric and magnetoelectric materials. This chapter would discuss in detail various mechanisms and stimuli, which may be synergistically used to harvest energy from piezoelectric materials-based energy harvesters.

Published: April 2023

Background: Portal hypertension (PH) refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by an elevation in the pressure gradient between the portal and hepatic veins. It is necessary to identify the underlying causes to manage this disorder effectively. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the etiology, clinical manifestations, and endoscopic findings in children with PH. Methods: This analytic cross - sectional study was performed on patients (< 18 years) with PH who were referred to the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic of Mofid Children’s Hospital in Tehran, Iran, within 2014 - 2020. The demographic details of the patients were collected from their medical records. Clinical manifestations, age at diagnosis, family history, and endoscopic findings were also recorded. Results: A total of 102 patients participated in this study. The subjects’ mean age was 6.81 ± 4.46 years. The results revealed that 50 (49.0%) and 46 (45%) cases had PH due to extrahepatic and intrahepatic diseases, respectively. Autoimmune hepatitis and portal vein thrombosis were the most common etiology of intrahepatic and extrahepatic PH, respectively. Based on the endoscopic analysis, esophageal varices were the most common findings (95.8%) observed in patients with PH. Conclusions: Extrahepatic diseases were the most prevalent PH etiology in children referred to the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic of Mofid Children’s Hospital.
