An Equal Treatment for Domestic Workers: Qatari Law and International Law
Authors: Mahasneh Nisreen
Published: August 2022

Objectives: This article aims at studying the rights and obligations of domestic workers under the Qatari Law No. 15/2017 Promulgating the Domestic Workers Law in comparison with the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) issued by the International Labor Organization (ILO). It also aims at shedding light on the principle of equal treatment between domestic and regular workers, which is fully adopted by the International Convention.  
Methods: This study follows a descriptive, analytical and comparative methodology. hence, the legal provisions were reviewed and analyzed, then compared at two levels: comparison between the provisions of the national law on the one hand and the International Convention on the other hand, and comparison between Qatari Law No. (15) relating to domestic workers and the Qatari Employment Law.
Results:  The study reached some results, the most important of which is that Qatari law was and still excludes domestic workers from the ambit of the Employment Law; this in turn does not allow applying any of the provisions of the Employment Law to domestic workers, even if it includes a preferential rule. On the other hand, the International Convention aims at achieving equality between regular and domestic workers. The particular law that relates to domestic workers should only apply when it grants an advantage that is not given under Employment Law. That is to say, Employment Law must still be referred to as being the general law.
Conclusions: Qatari legislator should adopt International Convention No. 189, or at least adopt more of its provisions, in order to better approach the principle of equal treatment.

Authors: Altamimi Ibrahem Ali , Alsalahen Abd Almjed
Published: August 2022

Objectives: The aim of this research is to clarify the rules that indicate consideration in conjecture, to clarify the intended meaning, and to deal with it as an applied study. It also aims to work on monitoring the most important applications of the rules indicating consideration in conjecture.
Methods: The researchers followed a descriptive approach through issues related to rule, rooting and branching. It also followed an analytical approach by addressing rules, analyzing their meanings, and linking them to application.
Results: The study concluded that conjecture must have controls in order for it to be considered. The most prominent of these controls is that conjecture should be derived from the references considered legally, and that the conjecture should not conflict with what is superior to it. The study also concluded that the rules indicating consideration in conjecture have a close relationship with regard to the description of validity in the legal rulings when the elements and conditions are met.
Conclusions: The study recommends expanding the study of the rules of consideration, and coming up with a comprehensive theory.

Published: August 2022

The phosphorous acid salts are widely used in the industry because of the effective treatment against various fungal diseases encountered in plants. The production process is exothermic and, with high temperatures around 94℃ achieved, significant risks were observed in terms of occupational health and safety. Therefore, the aim is to design a control system that will make this production process reliable for human health, economic and ecological damage. For this purpose, studies were carried out to determine the optimum operating mode, heat transfer system, and temperature controller design to prevent a sudden temperature rise. First, the overall heat transfer coefficient between the reactor and the jacket was determined as 51.0930 W/m2℃ and, the refrigerant was chosen as cooling water with 1.271 g/s flow rate which is relatively more economical and accessible. The model parameters of the system were determined with a detailed dynamic analysis by giving positive and negative step inputs to the cooling water flow rate and then obtaining model parameters through reaction curve and linear regression methods. By using the obtained model parameters theoretical P, PI and PID parameters were calculated by Cohen Coon and, Ziegler-Nichols approaches, and the success of controller parameters was tested, simulated with the MATLAB Simulink program and lastly, successful temperature control was achieved in the experimental system.
A study on the renewable energy potential of incineration of municipal solid wastes produced in Izmir province
Authors: BAŞARAN Anıl
Published: August 2022

The efficient use of existing energy sources along with the development and widespread use of alternative energy sources, especially renewable energy sources becoming important issues. At this point, the energy content of municipal solid wastes (MSW) can be considered a renewable energy source. MSWs contain a large fraction of renewable material and are continuously produced as a result of human activity. Therefore, international authorized institutions such as the U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) assess MSWs as renewable and sustainable energy sources. Incineration is one of the options for energy recovery from MSW as a waste-to-energy (WTE) approach. The R1 energy efficiency is a criterion introduced by the European Union Waste Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC) to differentiate waste operation by incineration as either disposal or energy recovery. The paper focused on the evaluation of the MSW incineration potential of İzmir province in consideration of R1 energy efficiency criteria. According to the R1, the MSW energy recovery (both heat and electricity) potentials were investigated considering the amount, composition, and calorific value of MSW generated in İzmir province. The population growth, MSW generation, and calorific value alternation up to 2026 were estimated for İzmir. Based on MSW future projections of İzmir province, overall energy recovery potential was assessed. It is forecasted that the average net calorific value (NCV) of MSW generated in İzmir will exceed 6 MJ/kg. This NCV will be suitable for energy recovery from the İzmir MSW. Assuming R1=0.65, it is predicted that a minimum of 2231 GWh/year of heat energy or 932 GWh/year of electricity can be produced annually in the next years 2022.

Authors: Pereira Lucas Chinellato de Lima , Silveira João Henrique Câmara da , Guerra Isadora de Oliveira Felix
Published: August 2022

Contextualização: As aplicações de esteroides anabolizantes relacionadas ao campo da cirurgia ortopédica têm sido historicamente limitadas, sendo uma exceção notável o uso destes no tratamento da osteoporose. Objetivo: A literatura nacional carece de fontes sobre as aplicações terapêuticas dos esteroides anabolizantes, principalmente no caso de reparo de fraturas, sendo assim, o objetivo desta revisão é fornecer um resumo do status atual das aplicações desta classe de fármacos para tal fim, com ênfase em dados pré-clínicos e estudos clínicos. Metodologia: Trata-se de um trabalho de caráter exploratório, baseado no método de revisão da literatura. A base de dados utilizada nesta pesquisa foi a PUBMED, empregando a seguinte estratégia de busca: “anabolic[title] AND steroids[title] AND fracture”. Foram incluídos artigos publicados de 2012 a 2022, sendo excluídos aqueles que não discutiam o tema proposto de forma adequada. Resultados: De início foram extraídos 10 artigos da base de dados que responderam à estratégia supracitada. Após a leitura dos títulos e resumos, nenhum trabalho foi eliminado e os 10 artigos foram lidos na íntegra, resumidos e discutidos. Conclusão: De modo geral, os artigos demonstraram resultados inconclusivos, tendendo a afirmar que o uso esteroides anabolizantes em fraturas não traria benefícios, ou seja, não existiria melhora nos marcadores de cicatrização óssea em pacientes vítimas de traumas ortopédicos. Tais resultados se repetiram tanto no uso isolado dos de esteroides anabolizantes quanto em sua associação com exercícios físicos, suplementos proteicos e vitamina D.
“O lugar é sempre o lugar do crime” em Antes do degelo
Authors: Vasconcelos Viviane
Published: August 2022

No romance de Agustina Bessa-Luís, Antes do degelo, que dialoga com Cri­me e castigo, de Fiódor Dostoiévski, um dos caminhos de leitura é pensar no crime como uma ideia que ultrapassa, muitas vezes, o sentido da nar­rativa policial. Ao especular sobre as representações, o texto agustiniano se interroga acerca de questões que remetem ao sentido originário e refle­te sobre o esvaziamento de sentidos do mundo contemporâneo, trazendo como uma das possibilidades a criação como um processo permanente de tentativa de recuperação da perda original.
SOCIALIZACIÓN DOCENTE EN EDUCACIÓN MILITAR: LA VOZ COMO DISPOSITIVO Y LA ENSEÑANZA COMO TRABAJO MORAL
Authors: Penteado Regina Zanella , Farias Tamara Aretta Mauerberg Teche de , Souza Neto Samuel de
Published: August 2022

El artículo establece un diálogo interdisciplinario entre Educación, Educación Física y Logopedia y considera la agenda conservadora del Estado brasileño, operando em la política educativa basada em la tecnología moral de la educación militar. El objetivo es analizar los dispositivos de formación y socialización docente en una institución educativa militar, com atención a la voz de mando, por parte del docente, em relación com la idea de docencia como profesión. La profesionalización docente, referenciada por Tardif (2003), exigi la docência passar de conceptos antiguos (vocación y oficio) a contemporáneos (profesión); com atención para la socialización profesional (NÓVOA, 2017). Se trata de una investigación cualitativa de carácter documental y empírico que emplea análisis de contenido de datos de documentos de una Pasantía de Adaptación Técnica/PAT de la Aeronáutica Brasileña y de entrevista a tres docentes de Educación Física. El proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje de la voz de mando figura como dispositivo de control que afirma la docência militar como trabajo moral, en una formación alineada con la enseñanza como vocación/oficio. La voz de mando, como dispositivo de formación y socialización docente en PAT, muestra las contradicciones entre la educación militar, guiada por la enseñanza moral, y el proyecto de profesionalización docente.

Published: August 2022

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease characterised by numerous gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall. This case report is aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of a case of PCI treated with intestinal resection. A 56-year-old female was admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary health centre with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting for about two days. In the abdominal examination of the patient, there was widespread tenderness and defence in all abdominal quadrants with a rebound. Laboratory parameters of the patient were unremarkable. The plain abdominal X-ray observed no free air in the right subdiaphragmatic area. Computed tomography showed dilatation, increased wall thickness and multiple free airs in the small bowel loops, predominantly localised in the left upper quadrant. The patient underwent a diagnostic laparotomy. Diffuse air bubbles were observed along the transverse colon wall at laparotomy. The patient underwent transverse colon resection and colocolic anastomosis with a linear stapler. The patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day. The pathological evaluation of the surgical specimen was suitable with PCI.

Published: August 2022

It is a routine protocol to examine the soft tissues, cartilage and bone tissues of the neck during post-mortem examinations performed in the cases of hanging-related deaths. Fractures of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage, as well as bleeding and ecchymoses around the first fracture are practically of great importance in establishing the case as live hanging. The styloid process is a thin bone at the base of the skull that extends downward, medially, and anteriorly from the temporal bone. Elongated variations of styloid process are encountered in society. In literature, there are no reported cases of elongated styloid process fractures due to hanging. In hanging-related deaths, along with hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage tissues, styloid process should also be evaluated for fractures.

Solar flares create adverse space weather impacting space- and Earth-based technologies. However, the difficulty of forecasting flares, and by extension severe space weather, is accentuated by the lack of any unique flare trigger or a single physical pathway. Studies indicate that multiple physical properties contribute to active region flare potential, compounding the challenge. Recent developments in machine learning (ML) have enabled analysis of higher-dimensional data leading to increasingly better flare forecasting techniques. However, consensus on high-performing flare predictors remains elusive. In the most comprehensive study to date, we conduct a comparative analysis of four popular ML techniques (k nearest neighbors, logistic regression, random forest classifier, and support vector machine) by training these on magnetic parameters obtained from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory for the entirety of solar cycle 24. We demonstrate that the logistic regression and support vector machine algorithms perform extremely well in forecasting active region flaring potential. The logistic regression algorithm returns the highest true skill score of 0.967 ± 0.018, possibly the highest classification performance achieved with any strictly parametric study. From a comparative assessment, we establish that magnetic properties like total current helicity, total vertical current density, total unsigned flux, R_VALUE, and total absolute twist are the top-performing flare indicators. We also introduce and analyze two new performance metrics, namely, severe and clear space weather indicators. Our analysis constrains the most successful ML algorithms and identifies physical parameters that contribute most to active region flare productivity.

We examine a rare and interesting observation of magnetic reconnection embedded in a large-scale region of strong turbulence in which magnetic field annihilation is energizing ions and electrons. The magnetic reconnection event is in Earth’s magnetotail and is associated with enhanced energetic particle fluxes indicating local particle acceleration. Despite substantial electric and magnetic field fluctuations throughout the surrounding, large-scale region, the ongoing magnetic reconnection has many similar properties to laminar, 2D magnetic reconnection including Hall electric fields, Hall magnetic fields, a thin electron current sheet, and ion and electron jets. Notably, the electron jet emerging from the electron diffusion region (EDR) appears to transport sufficient off-diagonal momentum to infer that off-diagonal electron stress can support the reconnection electric field in the EDR even in a turbulent environment. Although the electron jet appears to be briefly (∼1 s) deflected or possibly interrupted by an electromagnetic disturbance, the reconnection appears to otherwise continue for a long period (∼30 minutes) as evidenced by a persistent ion jet. This particular finding implies that the fundamental electron-scale processes inside of the EDR in turbulent magnetic reconnection are not necessarily distinct from those in laminar magnetic reconnection. These observations provide direct confirmation that magnetic reconnection can not only be responsible for but also can continue in regions of large-scale turbulence. Because the electric and magnetic fields of strong turbulence are linked to particle acceleration, it follows that particle acceleration also can continue as a consequence of turbulent magnetic reconnection.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:The first data for COVID-19 in pregnancy showed mild to moderate forms of the disease while current data speaks of severe forms in these subjects. Here we present a case of a severe form of COVID-19 in a gemelar pregnant woman complicated with pneumomediastin and pneumothorax,during her hospital stay, in a late stage of disease.
Case presentation: A 38 year-old multiparous woman  was referred to university hospital at 25 weeks  of gemelar pregnancy. On admission, the patient presented with signs of moderate respiratory  insufficiency, which after 12 hours progressed further to severe  ARDS. She  tested pozitiv  for SARS COV 2 on quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Under these conditions it was decided that the pacient  undergo a caesarean section for termination of pregnancy. Remdesivir200 mg/day and tocilizumab 8 mg/kg were administered,based on national guidelines. The patient's fever subsided, but her SpO2 remained at 94%, even with a 15 L/min oxygen mask. After 12 days the patient complains of a severe back pain and her respiratory condition rapidly worsened,reduced saturations up to 80% being under O2 therapy with facial mask with 15 l/min. Chest CT findings confirmed pneumomediastine and pneumothorax,which deteriorated the patient”s status. Thereafter tube thorakostomy was performed. There was a clinical and ABG analysis parameter”s improvement.The patient was discharged 34 days after cesarean delivery with a proper general health.
Conclusion: Our case highlights even more convincingly the fact that in pregnancy, can be severe to life-threating forms of Covid 19. Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are complications that can be encountered even in the late stages of severe forms with COVID 19 in pregnancy. Early diagnosis of these complications is essential in adequate management and treatment to avoid fatal outcome.

Authors: Soliman Ali , Rabie Mohamed , Hassan Hayam Y.
Published: August 2022

AIM: This study compared the removal of the smear layer using 1% phytic acid or 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) after root canal instrumentation with SmartTrack X3, Endo*star E, and ProTaper Gold rotary systems using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). METHODS: Sixty single-rooted unidentified extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were selected. The length of all the roots used was adjusted to 16 mm from the apex. Modified access cavities were done. Roots were equally and randomly allocated to three main groups (n = 20) corresponding to the rotary systems: group A1, SmartTrack X3; group A2, Endo*star E3; and group A3, ProTaper Gold. Each group was divided into two equal subgroups (n = 10), corresponding to the chelating agents applied as a final rinse: subgroup B1, 1% phytic acid, and subgroup B2, 17% EDTA. Roots were split in a buccolingual direction into two equal halves and examined under ESEM in the presence or absence of a smear layer at the cervical, middle, and apical segments. RESULTS: 1% Phytic acid and 17% EDTA recorded no statistically significant for removing the smear layer. For all subgroups, there was a significant difference in smear layer removal and more open dentinal tubules in the cervical segment versus the apical segment. CONCLUSION: In smear layer removal from root canals, 1% phytic acid was effective as 17% EDTA in smear layer removal form root canals after SmartTrack X3, Endo*star E3, or ProTaper Gold rotary systems instrumentation.

Introduction:
Placenta previa and morbidly adherent placenta cause significant maternal morbidity and mortality from postpartum hemorrhage. Intra-aortic balloon occlusion has been shown to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage effectively.
Cases Presentation
We reported four cases of women who underwent cesarean section and hysterectomy with IABO. All four were multigravida, gestational age range was 37-39 weeks, MAP score range 6-8. Ultrasound examination showed placenta accreta. After the cesarean section and hysterectomy procedure with IABO, the bleeding was 600-800 cc.
Conclusions
Intra-Aortic Ballooning Occlusion is an effective method to reduce bleeding complications during and after cesarean section in pregnancies with placenta accreta.
Release and follow-up of a rehabilitated two-toed sloth (choloepus hoffmanni) in a tropical dry forest in Ecuador
Authors: Villalba-Briones Ricardo , Jiménez Edwin R. , Monros Juan S.
Published: August 2022

We present the first record of post-release follow-up and monitoring of a rehabilitated two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni), first record of freezing behavior and first antagonistic interaction of the genus Choloepus with an owl (Pulsatrix perspicillata). Two-toed sloths are nocturnal and arboreal mammals which survival relies on their capability to remain undetected by predators. Unfortunately, in the Guayas province of Ecuador, they are the among the species most abundantly received in rehabilitation centers. The liberation of animals back to the wilderness is the main goal of rehabilitation, and the follow-up, or, post-release human presence/support of animals, facilitates their reestablishment in their natural habitat. Follow-up, direct observation and Bluetooth-based monitoring of the sloth secured the survival of the two-toed sloth. The range of detectability of the device used indicates its suitability for tracking low-mobility animals. After the first five days, the number of trees used per day increased, and 21 trees within 1152 m2 were visited. Daylight and movement time range showed correlation towards detectability. The follow-up effort permitted to maintain safe the two-toed sloth during 12 days after release. Due to the difficulty monitoring nocturnal animals, economic constraints in conservation, accessibility, and safety of the animals, biodegradable Bluetooth based backpacks are recommended to ease the location of the animal and support its survival in the wild.

Two new species add to the diversity of Eoniphargus in subterranean waters of Japan, with molecular phylogeny of the family Mesogammaridae (Crustacea, Amphipoda)
Authors: Shintani Aki , Lee Chi-Woo , Tomikawa Ko
Published: August 2022

Amphipod crustaceans are a major group of invertebrates that predominantly occur in groundwater ecosystems. Eoniphargus is a mesogammarid genus with only two known species from the groundwater systems of the Japanese archipelago and Korean Peninsula. However, there is a dearth of taxonomic studies on this genus, and the species diversity within Eoniphargus is unclear. Here, we describe two new species, E. iwataorumsp. nov. and E. toriiisp. nov., collected from the interstitial waters in Tochigi and Shizuoka Prefectures in the Japanese archipelago. These two new species are distinguished from their congeners by the following features: head, urosomite 3, first and second antennae, mandibles, and maxilla 1. Eoniphargus kojimai is redescribed here based on material collected near the type locality. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the nuclear 28S rRNA and mitochondrial COI genes revealed that E. kojimai is sister to E. iwataorumsp. nov. In this study, we also briefly discuss the phylogenetic relationships of Mesogammaridae based on the molecular phylogenetic analyses.

Authors: Enghoff Henrik , Akkari Nesrine
Published: August 2022

The hitherto monospecific genus Pleonoporus is revised based on the syntypes of P. robustus Attems, 1938, housed in Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NHMW), as well as on specimens of what we interpret as a new species of the genus, Pleonoporus tanzanicus sp. nov., collected in Tanzania and housed in the Museum of Nature – Zoology, Leibnitz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (ZMH) for more than a century. Both species are described based on habitus and gonopod structures and illustrated with micrographs, whereas scanning electron microscope images are also provided for the new species. This paper further highlights the importance of natural history collections for taxonomic research and studies on species diversity in general.
TM Strategies

Published: August 2022

This literature-based chapter addresses the vital issues and challenges of KM in respect of knowledge transfer barriers and mechanisms of Hasnain, Jasimuddin, and Fuller-Love and makes an endeavor to materialize those with TM strategies mainly identified by Whelan and Carcary in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributions of talent management (TM) and knowledge management (KM) are undisputedly acknowledged by researchers and business organizations. Both TM researchers and KM researchers have hardly addressed the strategies of integrating TM and KM for implementing TM strategies against KM challenges in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Positioning and integrating appropriately the TM strategies against KM challenges could derive huge benefits for the organizations during hostilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the world environment volatile and complex. Therefore, numerous challenges of KM have emerged demanding TM strategies.

Published: August 2022

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases caused due to abnormal division of the cells. Researchers are facing major challenge for finding the effective treatment of the cancer. Various methods of cancer treatment are chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell/bone marrow transplant, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and anticancer drugs. The anticancer drugs may be natural, semi-synthetic, or synthetic in nature. The most widely used anticancer drugs are the phytochemicals isolated from the plants of their semi-synthetic analogues. So the research focuses on the isolation and identification of the bioactive compounds from natural sources as a potent anticancer agent. However, now the trend has been moved from the natural plant-based products to the natural products mimics of molecule that is the part of human response system. So, the present chapter briefly highlights the current status of commercialized phytochemicals used as anticancer drugs along with mechanism of action of some important drugs.

Edible oils are one of the important products that have lately come to light for their beneficial and nutritional properties. As a result, scientists and the oil industry are always working to demonstrate the health-giving benefits of both fruit and vegetable seed oils. Fruits are popular for their fleshy parts. However, the seeds are often discarded since they are thought worthless. This research looked at the bioactive components found in Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbita spp., Cucumis melo L., Citrullus lanatus) seed oils extracted using various extraction procedures on Cucurbitaceae seeds from various species and geographical places throughout the globe. The outcomes of the study show that Cucurbitaceae seed oils are a good source of nutrients and may be classified as health-promoting compounds. The discoveries have also cleared the way for the use of these seed oil resources in the production of a broad variety of therapeutic products.

Natural products derived from plants have long been and will continue to be substantial sources of therapeutic agents in disease prevention and treatment. Resveratrol, which is a bioactive compound in a polyphenol structure, is found in significant amounts in several plant/food sources such as grapes, peanuts, strawberries, blueberries, pistachios, red mulberries, cranberries, and tomatoes. These functional foods rich in resveratrol be used widely owing to resveratrol does not show significant toxicity at low doses. Today, there is an increasing interest in polyphenols due to their antioxidant properties. The antioxidant effect of resveratrol underlies many of its medicinal effects, such as its neuroprotective and positive effect on neurodegeneration. In addition, it is outstanding with anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiviral, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, and life-prolonging effects. Studies on resveratrol have previously focused on its pharmacological activities but recently have focused on its low bioavailability which poses a major problem to show the predicted effect.

In the modern era of science, nanotechnology has the ability to circumvent numerous disadvantages of conservative healing preparations. Important progress has been made towards the use of tailored nanomaterials (NMs) to treat the cancer with efficiency, specificity, and high sensitivity. Tailored NMs are operationalized with precise ligands that can predictably target the cancer cells and deliver encapsulated payloads meritoriously. Moreover, NMs can also be deliberated to increase the drug loading, controlled release, improved half-life, and selective distribution by altering their size, surface chemistry, composition, and morphology. The conservative cancer treatments have provoked the event and applications of nanomaterials. The emerging evidence suggests that nanomedicines will provide the next-generation stages for anticancer remedies.

Published: August 2022

Successful implementation of digital transformation is beyond the employment of technologies; however, it is dependent on making shifts in business strategies and organizational mindsets. Employees are required to understand the power of digital technologies to influence an organization and accept changes. Leaders are also expected to support the process and facilitate shifts from across the organization to ensure that digital transformation will be successfully implemented. Organizational change is one of the most critical strategies to be employed to ensure the development of digital transformation. Resistance to change alongside developments in digital transformation and lack of support can be considered as one of the main reasons for failure in the digital transformation process that should be addressed. This study aims to explore the relationship between digital transformation and organizational change concentrating on organization dynamics and shifts in different aspects of organizations considering catalyst factors.

Published: August 2022

Background: Anemia during pregnancy is a significant public health concern. Sri Lankan maternal healthcare system adopted free provision of iron and folic acid supplementation to all its pregnant women since several decades, to mitigate the high prevalence of anemia. Despite the dedicated national maternal healthcare services, the prevalence of maternal anemia remains at a moderate level of public health significance for many years. 
Objective: This study assessed maternal knowledge of anemia and iron and folic acid supplementation in pregnancy (and associated factors), and the content of counselling on iron and folic acid supplementation received by women during pregnancy. 
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study enrolled 703 women at 0–4 days postpartum. A pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, use of iron and folic acid supplementation, and obstetrics. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess maternal knowledge with close-ended questions. 
Results: Of the 703 women, 69.7% scored 9, i.e., the maximum maternal knowledge score. Maternal ethnicity, education level, and monthly family income were significantly associated with maternal knowledge of anemia and iron and folic acid supplementation. However, the majority of women did not receive information on side effects and ways to minimize them during the antenatal counselling sessions. 
Conclusion: Antenatal counselling on anemia and iron and folic acid supplementation should be improved, and the maternal education level should be considered when providing counselling. It is recommended to standardized antenatal counselling sessions for all community clinics in Sri Lanka, where the content must emphasize anemia prevention and compliance with the recommended iron and folic acid supplementation.

Introduction: Air guns are widely used for recreation and to protect crops from animals. It is a pneumatic weapon capable of inflicting serious life-threatening injuries. The authors present a case of a child subjected to a life-threatening pellet injury to the head due to discharge of an air gun while playing.
Case report: A 3 ½ year old male child who was 95 cm in height presented with a circular perforated laceration 0.4 cm in diameter with surrounding abrasion collar on the right side of the face over the zygomatic arch, nasal bleeding and aspiration of blood. Imaging studies revealed a diabolo-shaped foreign body resembling a pellet of an air gun in the left pharyngeal space. The foreign body was removed under image guidance. Investigation revealed that the parents used an air gun on the farm to protect their crops from monkeys. Since examination of the weapon and child indicated that he could not have caused the injury himself, we concluded that another child had fired the weapon accidentally, during play.
Conclusions: The findings were compatible with those caused by discharge of an air gun. This case re-emphasizes the importance of keeping this type of weapons away from children.  We recommend that air guns be governed by the same laws that apply to firearms.

Dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) is characterized by fever, skin rash, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy, and multi systemic manifestations following Dapsone therapy [1]. The incidence of DHS ranges from 0.5-3% while the time from the commencement of the Dapsone to the onset of symptoms varies from several hours to six months [1]. DHS might lead to irreversible organ damage or fatality if not recognized early and managed appropriately [1]. Genetic component is involved in the pathogenesis of DHS and relatives of the index case are at increased risk of developing similar adverse events following Dapsone [5]. Here, we are going to report a child, who presented with clinical and biochemical features of DHS following Dapsone treatment, given for the management of Lepromatous Leprosy (LL), whose father had also developed similar symptoms suggestive of DHS, while on the treatment for LL.
