Authors: Banik Rajib , Haque AKM Akramul , Arman Kazi Abdullah , Rahman Md. Rezaur , Hasan Mohammed Kamrul
Published: January 2025

Background: Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) has emerged as a significant diagnostic tool for unexplained pleural effusions. This study evaluates the diagnostic yield, safety profile, and clinical utility of VATS in the investigation of pleural effusions through analysis of 50 consecutive cases. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted involving 50 patients who underwent VATS for unexplained pleural effusions between 1st January 2023 to 30th June 2024. All procedures were performed under local anaesthesia using single port technique. Data collected included demographic characteristics, operative findings, pathological diagnoses, complications, and outcomes. Results: The mean age of patients was 58.3 ± 15.4 years, with male predominance (64%). VATS achieved a definitive diagnosis in 47 out of 50 cases (94% diagnostic yield). Malignancy was the most common diagnosis (48%), followed by tuberculosis (24%), and non-specific pleuritis (16%). The mean operative time was 65.8±18.3 minutes. Minor complications occurred in 7 patients (14%) and major complications in 2 patients (4%), with no mortality. The mean hospital stay was 5.8 ± 2.3 days. Complete pleural visualization was achieved in 94% of cases, with one case requiring conversion to open surgery. Conclusion: VATS demonstrates high diagnostic yield and favorable safety profile in the evaluation of unexplained pleural effusions. The procedure's ability to provide direct visualization and targeted biopsies makes it particularly valuable in diagnosing malignancies and tuberculosis. These findings support the integration of VATS into the diagnostic algorithm for unexplained pleural effusions, especially when less invasive methods have failed to provide a diagnosis.

Markets as Spaces: An Autoethnography of Women’s Solidarity
Authors: Pelly R. Duncan M. , Abisoye Mariam
Published: January 2025

Markets are typically depicted as places with an economic or financial rationality, and are described as the genesis of business and entrepreneurship.  Unfortunately, their inner mechanics are oftentimes abstracted away in the pursuit of neat theories.  As a consequence, important insights are lost.  We utilized autoethnography to take a deep dive into markets located in Nigeria.  We discovered that women viewed the market not as a place for profit, but as a space for solidarity-based organizing.  Although participants engaged in business transactions, the primary attraction was the fact that women could exercise independence and mutual aid.  Our story demonstrates the market as a true heterotopia with a different social contract that influenced the values of market participants throughout their lives.  This manuscript is of interest to scholars of entrepreneurship, space, organizing, women’s studies, and solidarity.

A narrative review on the role of stem cell therapy in stroke treatment: Current advances, mechanisms, and future prospects
Authors: Auwal Umar Aminu , Isyaku Ibrahim , Ally Rajab Shabani , Raj Aran Khadga
Published: January 2025

Stroke is a neurological condition characterized by blood vessel obstruction, leading to localized loss of brain function and associated neurological manifestations. Fatal cases of stroke are underrepresented in case–control studies compared to incident cases attributed to common causes. Hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes make up the primary classifications of stroke. This review describes the most recent findings on stem cells and how they can be used to treat stroke in people with serious illnesses. It highlights the potential of stem cells in stroke rehabilitation and gives an overview of their various forms and mechanisms of action. Stem cells promote stroke recovery through diverse pathways, depending on the cell type employed. Recent advancements in cell therapy for stroke include different stem cell sources, application methods, modification of culturing media and stem cells ex vivo, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, and 3D bioprocessing methods. Pre-clinical and clinical trials are important in assessing the effectiveness of the therapy, as the effect varies among individuals. Data were collected from different trials, highlighting the need for further advancements in stem cell therapy to improve its outcomes for treating stroke.

Northwestern pond turtles have gained much attention in the past few decades due to dramatic population declines. We compiled data on the pond turtle?s historic occurrence within northern Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GOGA) and Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE), including recent incidental observations by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) staff. To build on that past data and better understand current pond turtle distribution, abundance, non-native co-inhabitants, demographics, nesting behavior, and nest site characteristics, we conducted distribution surveys here from 2015?2019. We found northwestern pond turtles using visual encounter and trapping surveys at 11 sites, mostly confirming past USGS observations at those sites. However, we detected pond turtles in only 38% of sites previously identified by USGS as having pond turtles. In our surveys, pond turtles were most abundant at two Martinelli ponds along the southeastern slopes of Tomales Bay. At this location, we have an estimated population size of 94 adults (carapace length range from 68 to 300) from mark-recapture trapping surveys. This site is also the largest nesting population in the park, with annual nest abundance of 13.75 nests per year and a mean clutch size of 4.9 eggs per nest. The demographic data from the Martinelli Ponds indicates a population skewed towards larger individuals, which is consistent with other locations elsewhere in California. This population data served to identify the Martinelli Ponds population as the donor site for a GOGA pond turtle headstart project. Nesting activity in 2017?2019 occurred from late May with activity peaking in mid-June and tapering off in mid-July. Visual surveys proved to be the most effective means of finding nesting females and nests; camera traps, VHF telemetry, and PIT antenna array costed time and money while not providing the desired information. Future inventory efforts should focus on resurveying lightly surveyed sites where we were not able to find northwestern pond turtles, periodic monitoring of abundance and demographic structure of main PORE population (Martinelli Ponds), and surveillance monitoring for invasive bullfrogs and turtles. Increasing public awareness of the status of northwestern pond turtles is another key action that will play a major role in their conservation.

Authors: Lee Su Bun
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate the relative influence of factors affecting the career aspirations of married women managers with a hierarchical regression analysis. The investigator used the 2022 data of the Korean Women Manager Panel in its analysis, and the data covered 1,818 married women managers in a section chief position or higher under a department head position. The independent variables used in the analysis include organization-level variables(CEO mindset and work-family balance policies), relation-level variables(relationship with a supervisor and a mentor), an individual competency variable(leadership competencies), and work↔family transfer variables(positive work↔family transfer and negative work↔family transfer). The study analyzed the relative influence of these factors on the career aspirations of married women managers. The main findings were as follows: first, leadership competencies had the highest correlations with the career aspirations of married women managers; second, a mentor, leadership competencies, and positive work↔family transfer had positive impacts on the career aspirations of married women managers; and finally, the analysis results of the relative influence of the factors affecting the career aspirations of married women managers show that positive work↔family transfer had the highest influence on them, being followed by leadership competencies and a mentor in the order. These findings will provide significant implications for intervention strategies to increase the career aspirations of married women managers, and the study made a couple of proposals.

Given a graph $G$ and probability $p$, we form the random subgraph $G_p$ by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$, constants $0<c<1, \varepsilon>0$, and $p=\frac{1+\varepsilon}{d}$, we show that if every subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size exactly $\frac{c|V(G)|}{d}$ satisfies $|N(S)|\ge d|S|$, then the probability that $G_p$ does not contain a cycle of length $\Omega(\varepsilon^2c^2|V(G)|)$ is exponentially small in $|V(G)|$. As an intermediate step, we also show that given $k,d\in \mathbb{N}$, a constant $\varepsilon>0$, and $p=\frac{1+\varepsilon}{d}$, if every subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size exactly $k$ satisfies $|N(S)|\ge kd$, then the probability that $G_p$ does not contain a path of length $\Omega(\varepsilon^2 kd)$ is exponentially small. We further discuss applications of these results to $K_{s,t}$-free graphs of maximal density.

Published: January 2025

Malnutrition remains a significant public health issue globally, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. This case report describes the successful management of malnutrition in a 1-year-old child using a family-centered approach within the framework of family medicine principles. A 1-year-old male child presented to the Cikupa Health Center with a history of poor weight gain and recurrent infections. A comprehensive assessment using the Mandala health assessment revealed multiple contributing factors, including suboptimal breastfeeding practices, inadequate complementary feeding, poor environmental sanitation, and limited parental knowledge of nutrition and hygiene. A tailored management plan was implemented, encompassing nutritional interventions, deworming medication, education on hygiene and sanitation, and family support. The child showed positive outcomes, including improved weight gain, reduced frequency of infections, and enhanced growth and development trajectory. In conclusion, this case highlights the effectiveness of a family-centered approach in managing malnutrition. By addressing the interconnected biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors, healthcare providers can achieve sustainable improvements in child health and well-being.

SELIA: A DALIT & GENTLE WOMAN
Authors: Gadhvi Bhawna N.
Published: January 2025

Premchand can be entitled as the precursor of Dalit Literature. He has portraited the sufferings and oppression of Dalits in his novels very realistically. Even today, no one can forget the character of Selia who was treated callously by Madatin. Selia has the everlasting image as a pure and dedicated woman by her virtue and a Dalit woman by her birth. She has been accepted as a woman to by a brahmin named Matadin but his approval is based on the criteria of casteism. He cruelly treated her in society but has no discrimination in keeping her to serve his lust. The paper is going to discuss her character holistically to get insight into her suffering and dejection. Additionally, it portraits the rebellious action of Selia’s father to revenge the exploitation of his daughter. It depicts the turmoil of a father. Matadin and Selia’s father have been projected to mention the social realities and prejudices. Premchand, not only, charted the discrimination but also tabled the rebellious attitude of Dalit to show the awareness and dissatisfaction of the community. Ironically, the projection of the suffering and ruthlessness was shown by the upper caste writer which indicates his dissent towards such behaviour of the society.

Приведены результаты изучения распространения вредителей в условиях возделывания пшеницы яровой на южных карбонатных черноземах степной зоны Северного Казахстана. Исследование ценоза и наблюдения за органогенезом растений и фенологией фитофагов является предметом фитосанитарного мониторинга. Полученные нами данные служат информационной базой для организации мероприятий по защите растений.  Поэтому каждый фактор, снижающий урожай пшеницы, приносит огромный экономический ущерб. Одним из таких факторов в настоящее время стал пшеничный трипс (Haplotrips tritici), который за последние годы превратился в важнейшего вредителя пшеницы.
Благодаря фитосанитарному мониторингу посевов яровой мягкой пшеницы за 2022-2024гг. была определена оценка степени опасности повреждения растений пшеничным трипсом. По результатам данного мониторинга принимается главное решение – о выборе, назначении или отмене защитных мер по критериям экономических порогов вредоносности, это не только показатель для начала обработок, но и уровень, до которого нужно снижать численность фитофага, чтобы не допустить потерь урожая.
В результате выполнения исследований были применены современные методы полевой и лабораторной оценки повреждаемости пшеницы пшеничным трипсом. Изучены биологические особенности фитофага в условиях зоны исследований. Оценено влияние погодных условий на динамику численности этого вредителя. Определена степень вредоносности трипса и рассчитаны суммарные потери урожая зерна в %.  
За период 2022-2024 гг. изучена сезонная динамика численности пшеничного трипса в течение вегетации яровой пшеницы. Максимальная численность фитофагов на посевах яровой мягкой пшеницы отмечена в фазе трубкования (34,6 – 40,1 экз./10 взмахов сачком при заселенности 100%) и в фазе колошения (121,1-135,2 экз./м2 с заселенностью растений 60,2-75,1%), в фазе созревания культуры (152 экз./10 взмахов сачком). Для установления экономического порога вредоносности пшеничного трипса проведен мониторинг вредных насекомых-фитофагов в посевах пшеницы. Экономический порог вредоносности (ЭПВ) фазе колошения пшеницы – 70,0-150,0 экз./м2, в фазе колошения - молочной спелости – 73,3 имаго/10 взмахов сачком и 54,7- 76,5 2 личинок/на колос.

В степной зоне на черноземах обыкновенных в ТОО «Карабалыкская сельскохозяйственная опытная станция» Карабалыкском районе Костанайской области в зависимости от систем минерального питания, севооборотов, сельскохозяйственных культур и технологий обработки почв изучена динамика эмиссии углекислого газа почв агроландшафтов при развитии интенсификации земель. Исследования проводилось путем измерения выделения углекислого газа титриметрическим методом Штатнова. Также в работе представлены данные по оценки почвенного плодородия и его влияние на выделение углекислого газа при разных технологиях обработки поч. На основе наблюдений в течение вегетационного периода за потоками углекислого газа из почвы впервые установлены основные закономерности динамики изменчивости эмиссии СО2 в зависимости от сезонности и абиотических факторов (температура, свет, влажность и другое) при различных агротехнологиях, обработки почв, систем севооборотов и удобрений. Результаты показали, что на участках с нулевой обработкой почвы (No Till) наблюдается тенденция к повышению биологической активности почвы, что подтверждается более высокими показателями выделения углекислого газа. В то же время, традиционная обработка почвы с применением удобрений способствует росту концентрации нитратного азота и подвижного фосфора, что способствует повышению агрономической продуктивности.

Қазіргі экологиялық және жалпы жаһандық дағдарыс жағдайында оны еңсеру үшін жалпыға бірдей және үздіксіз экологиялық білімнің маңызы артып келеді. Рио-де-Жанейрода 1992 жылы өткен Қоршаған орта және даму жөніндегі халықаралық конференцияда қабылданған Күн тәртібі 21 құжатында, адамзаттың жаңа дүниетанымы ретінде тұрақты даму тұжырымдамасын бекіткен болатын. Аталған құжат экологиялық білім беру басты мақсат емес, сәйкесінше, тұрақтылыққа қол жеткізу үшін қажетті білімді, құндылықтарды, мінез-құлық пен өмір салтын өзгертудің, мәдениетті қалыптастырудың негізгі тетігі ретінде көрсетілген.
Экологиялық білім беру арқылы экологиялық мәдениетті көтеру, қоғамдық экобелсенділікті қалыптастыру тұрақты даму мақсаттарына қол жеткізудің тетігі ретінде айқындалған. Мақалада Қазақстанда жүргізіліп жатқан мемлекеттік экологиялық саясаттың басым бағыттары қарастырылып, экологиялық білім беру бойынша шетелдік озық тәжірибелерге талдау жасалынған. Отбасылық тәрбиеден бастап жоғарғы оқу орындары және барлық топтағы азаматтарға арналған үздіксіз білім беру бағдарламаларын жүйелі түрде жүргізбейінше қоғамда экологиялық мәдениетті қалыптастыру мүмкін еместігі сипатталған. Халықтың экологиялық жауапкершілігінің артуына байланысты тұрмыстық экобелсенділік мәселесі де өзекті. Экологиялық мәдениетті кешенді түрде дамыту – ұрпағымызды отан сүйгіштікке баулудың, азаматтардың қоршаған ортаға үнемі ұқыптылықпен қарауының бірден бір кепілі болмақ. Осындай тың бастамалардың нәтижесінде елімізде жаңа мәдениет пен жаңа әлеуметтік этика орнығып, нағыз патриоттық, ұлттық, отансүйгіштік сезімді, қоршаған табиғи ортаға деген қамқорлықты орната аламыз. Мұндай іс шаралар қоғамның барлық салаларында экологиялық мәдениетті, «жасыл трансформацияны» қалыптастырудың құралы ретінде тануға  негіз бар.

Мақалада Солтүстік Қазақстанның далалы аймағы жағдайында оңтүстік карбонатты қара топырақтарында жасымық (Lens culinaris Medik) егістіктерінде арамшөптердің таралуы мен дамуын зерттеу нәтижелері келтірілген. Танаптық тәжірибелер Ақмола облысы Шортанды ауданы «А.И. Бараев атындағы АШ ҒӨО» ЖШС жағдайында жүргізілді. Зерттеулерімізде жасымықты далалы аймағы жағдайында өсіру кезінде ең көп таралған арамшөптер дәнді дақылдар тұқымдасына жататын өсімдіктер (даражарнақтылар) анықталды. Даражарнақты арамшөптердің зияндылығын шектеу үшін жасымық егістігінде гербицидтермен дақылдың өсіп-дамуының 4-6 жапырақтану кезеңінде, бір жылдық даражарнақты арамшөптердің 1-3 жапырақтану кезеңінде өңдеу жұмыстары жүргізілді. Жасымық егістігінде бақылау жұмыстарын жүргізу барысында бір жылдық даражарнақты арамшөптердің барлық түрлері анықталды. Гербицидтердің биологиялық тиімділігі бақылаумен салыстырғанда арамшөптер санының азаюымен есептелінді.
Жүргізілген зерттеулердің нәтижелері бойынша Суприм, к.э., Кинетик форте, к.э. және Кадим 240, к.э. препараттары жасымықтың өсіп-дамуы кезеңінде біржылдық даражарнақты арамшөптерге қарсы қолданылған нұсқаларда биологиялық тиімділігі тиісінше 88,5-77,3, 89,5-78,4 және 87,7-77,1% құрады. Біржылдық даражарнақты арамшөптерге қарсы химиялық препараттарды қолдану арамшөптердің санын шектеуге және сәйкесінше 8,5, 8,6 және 8,3 ц/га дақыл тұқымынан өнім алуға мүмкіндік берді.

В статье представлены исследования по изучению пространственного анализа для диагностирования почв и сельскохозяйственных культур с использованием ГИС-технологий в Северо-Казахстанской области. Дан анлиз применения геостатистического метода Кригинга, позволяющий строить карты, прогнозируемые, на основе ограниченных данных, также позволяющий интерактивно исследовать пространственное поведение каких-либо значений и предположить их дальнейшее изменение или состояние, интерполируя данные на объекты без указанных значений. В данных исследованиях был рассмотрен прогноз изменения почвенно-агрохимические показателей: азот, фосфора и гумус. При Кригинге, программа, использует математические функции для определенного количества точек. Были созданы вариограммы и функции ковариации для оценки значений статистической зависимости и проведено прогнозирование неизвестных значений на различных сельскохозяйственных культурах удобренного фона и контроля. Чтобы проверить достоверность данных построения интерполяции было проведено в статье сравнение карты прогноза и картограммы подвижного фосфора и гумуса. В результате сравнения карт, в большей степени были выявлены сходные области изменения содержания фосфора и гумуса, что указывает на рабочую модель интерполяции методом Кригинга и некоторые несоответствия, что может указывать на погрешности метода.

We report a case of early-onset ischemic stroke in a previously healthy 39-year-old female, attributed to rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The patient presented with acute-onset hemiparesis, dysarthria, and facial asymmetry, with symptoms developing within six hours prior to hospital admission. Comprehensive cardiac assessment revealed severe mitral valve stenosis, a rapid ventricular response secondary to atrial fibrillation, and marked left atrial enlargement. Management involved anticoagulation therapy, statin administration, and rhythm control. The patient demonstrated a favorable recovery, achieving a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 2 at discharge after a 10-day hospitalization. This case underscores the importance of identifying rheumatic mitral stenosis as a significant etiological factor for ischemic stroke in young adults.
