Stunting has been considered a global problem that requires considerable attention and action to eradicate, including in developing countries like Indonesia. Initiatives have been made to reduce stunting in many parts of the country, yet they do not seem to bring the expected results. As such, we conducted a study to improve the situation by reducing stigma towards mothers and increasing fathers’ participation in caring for their children. The study was a case study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with families of stunted children. The study’s novelty lies in the proposed policy model of reducing stigma towards mothers and increasing fathers’ participation in child-raising to reduce stunting. Our findings confirm that mothers must be dealing with a stereotype of ideal mothers, and they find it hard to gain autonomy in decision-making related to their child’s upbringing, including health. Furthermore, findings also show that fathers’ participation in raising children is one of the solutions to reduce stunting. Fathers’ crucial roles are controlling their child’s nutrition, including feeding patterns, taking the child to health facilities, and keeping vaccination schedules. Reducing stigma toward mothers emphasizes gender-sensitive parenting and support from government agencies responsible for stunting eradication. Meanwhile, heterogeneity in how family members perceive stunting has also become another significant challenge that needs deeper exploration. Finally, this study presents policy recommendations to support fathers’ roles in overcoming stunting.
Xue Baochai and Marya Bolkonskaya: a comparative analysis of the characters of the novels of Cao Xueqin and Leo Tolstoy
Authors: Song Dannuo
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the comparison of the images of the characters of Xue Baochai in Cao Xueqin's novel "The Dream in the Red Chamber" and Marya Bolkonskaya in Leo Tolstoy's epic "War and Peace". In Cao Xueqin's novel, a full-fledged image of Xue Baochai was created as the "ideal woman" in relation to traditional society. In the novel by L. N. Tolstoy, among a number of female images, the essence of which is revealed through the "dialectic of the soul", Marya Bolkonskaya is a woman with a kind heart and strong religious beliefs. To date, there have been no attempts in literary studies to compare the formation of a female characters in Russian and Chinese literature. It seems possible to compare two female characters in terms of their appearance and psychological traits, the philosophical ideas of the authors, as well as to identify the problem of the influence of the historical period in which the characters live. When writing the article, the method of comparative analysis was used, this allowed to identify the common and special in literary works. Using this method, similar life paths of the characters of the novels and different ways of depicting them were revealed. The novelty of the research lies in an attempt to compare the images of the characters of two literary masterpieces describing different eras and countries. The main conclusions of the author of the article are as follows: Cao Xueqin, who was influenced by traditional Chinese ideas, created a complex and tragic image of Xue Baochai and revealed the nature of the position of a woman within the framework of feudal social relations; L. N. Tolstoy, in the process of creating the image of Mary Bolkonskaya, followed Christian ideals, endowing the character with virtues; Due to the difference of the authors' life experiences and ideological views, as well as the socio-economic conditions of their formation and development, the fates of the characters of their works also differ.

Authors: Yadav Vishesh , Pathak Abhishek , Singh Manish , Rana Yogi , Singh Rahul
Published: July 2024

This case report explores the intricate landscape of polysubstance dependence, focusing on a 24-year-old male presenting with concurrent reliance on alcohol, pregabalin, cyproheptadine, and dexamethasone. This unique case underscores the complexities inherent in diagnosing and managing overlapping substance use disorders, emphasizing the need for thorough assessment and comprehensive intervention strategies. With substance dependence representing a significant global health concern, this report contributes valuable insights to the scientific literature by elucidating the multifaceted dynamics of polysubstance misuse. A 24-year-old male of asthenic built, with a history of alcohol consumption for 8 years initiated by peer pressure and escalated by life stressors, presented with depressive symptoms and reliance on multiple substances. His main concerns included mood disturbances, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Clinical evaluation revealed depressive features, substance dependence, and comorbidities associated with polysubstance misuse. Notably, he self-medicated with pregabalin for its euphoric effects, consumed cyproheptadine and dexamethasone to alter his body weight, and relied on alcohol as a coping mechanism. Treatment involved pharmacotherapy and motivational enhancement therapy, resulting in significant improvement and subsequent abstinence from all substances. This case underscores the complexities encountered in diagnosing, treating, and managing polysubstance dependence, exemplified by the dependencies on alcohol, pregabalin, cyproheptadine, and dexamethasone within a single patient. A comprehensive treatment approach incorporating detoxification, tapering, and psychological counseling facilitated significant progress. Achievements included successful abstinence from alcohol and notable reductions in cravings for pregabalin, cyproheptadine, and dexamethasone.
Serum lipid level as a biomarker in depressive disorder: A cross-sectional case control study
Authors: Ashwin J. V. , Shahi Mohit Kumar , Singh Astha
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

This study investigates the potential of serum lipids as markers for depression, specifically focusing on symptoms such as suicidal ideation and anhedonia. In the context of advancing psychiatric biomarker research, this study aims to identify lipid-related markers and their underlying biological connections to depression, offering valuable insights for clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Material and Methods:

This case-control observational study was conducted over 18 months at a tertiary care center. The study enrolled patients aged 18–60 years diagnosed with depression attending outpatient and inpatient departments, totaling 100 subjects, including 100 cases and 100 controls, with gender and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. Inclusion criteria for cases required depression diagnosis using the International Classification of Diseases-10-Diagnostic Criteria for Research criteria, while controls comprised healthy individuals within the same age range. Exclusion criteria encompassed comorbid psychiatric illnesses, substance use disorders (except tobacco), unstable medical conditions, lipid-lowering agent use, and a BMI over 30. Clinical assessments, including the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 item scale, Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation, and Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale-Clinician administered, were administered. Serum lipid parameters, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, were measured.

Results:

In a cross-sectional case-control study (n = 200), we examined serum lipids as potential depression biomarkers. Cases (n = 100) matched controls in age, BMI, and gender. Cases had lower TC (153.27 mg/dL vs. 171.34 mg/dL, P < 0.01*). Serum TG and low-density lipoprotein also varied significantly with depression severity (P < 0.01*). However, HDL levels remained consistent. No significant associations were found between suicidal ideation and anhedonia, and post hoc analyses revealed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) in lipid parameters across various depression severity levels.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest a complex relationship between serum lipids and depression, with potential implications for understanding the biological underpinnings of depression and its severity. However, there was no such relationship that was observed between serum lipids and anhedonia or suicidal ideation. These insights could inform clinical practices and improve patient outcomes in depression management.

A novel pitch against the itch
Authors: Janardhanan Shruthi Pavana , Saraogi Punit
Published: July 2024

About 25% of patients suffering from chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) are refractory to first-line therapy, making treatment challenging in these cases. There are limited options in the treatment ladder for urticaria as omalizumab is more effective in patients with raised immunoglobulin E levels; also, cost and feasibility of administration are limiting factors. Dose-related side effects often limit cyclosporine’s greater efficacy. We started tofacitinib for our 68-year-old patient who had been suffering from refractory CSU for the past 12 years and observed quick control of signs and symptoms starting within 2 weeks and good long-term control for over 9 months of which last 6 months were monotherapy.

Authors: Giliyaru Sahana , Gavvala Sai Niharika , Saad Ahmed , Jenko Nathan , Iyengar Karthikeyan , Nischal Neha , Botchu Rajesh
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Pes planus, or “flat foot,” is a common foot condition involving talus misalignment, calcaneus eversion, medial arch collapse, and forefoot abduction. It is a well-recognized cause of foot pain and can lead to disability in patients. Clinical diagnosis is supported by plain radiography. However, in patients presenting with foot pain, traditionally dorsoplantar (DP) and oblique radiographs are undertaken. Pes planus may be difficult to analyze and classify on predominant DP and oblique radiographs and often requires weight-bearing lateral foot radiographs to direct patient management. Our study introduces a novel angle for pes planus diagnosis on DP radiographs of the foot. The purpose of this study was to describe a new radiological pes planus intermetatarsal angle (PPIMA) for assessment of flatfoot DP imaging of the foot.

Materials and Methods:

We performed a retrospective cohort study on 114 consecutive patients presenting with foot pain referred to our foot and ankle clinic weight-bearing DP, oblique radiographs of the foot and lateral radiographs of the foot and ankle were undertaken. Demographic details and clinical indication were recorded, and radiological parameters of hallux valgus angle, calcaneal pitch and angle between the shaft of the first and fifth metatarsal PPIMA were measured by two consultant radiologists and a radiology trainee. Data were organized using Microsoft Excel, and statistical analysis was performed STATA (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX, USA) using analysis of variance and post hoc analysis.

Results:

Thirty patients were excluded due to the presence of hallux valgus deformity. In our study, the cohort with normal foot alignment (n = 30, age 14–18) had an average PPIMA of 20.7°, pes cavus (n = 3, age 14–18) average PPIMA was 24.0, while the pes planus group (n = 51, age 14–18) had an average PPIMA of 20.0°. There was no statistically significant difference in PPIMA between the groups (P = 0.229).

Conclusion:

Our study introduces a practical diagnostic tool for pes planus on DP foot imaging. The PPIMA is not a reliable indicator for the evaluation of foot alignment.
Molecular Characterization and Association of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) gene in Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Authors: Ezhilarasu Kavitha , Mugilan Sundara
Published: July 2024

Staphylococcus aureus is associated with several infections and emergence of antibiotic resistance is the major hindrance faced worldwide to combat them. Alternation in the Penicillin binding protein (PBP2A) results in the decreased binding of β –lactam antibiotics which lands up in Penicillinase resistance, thereby giving rise to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) organisms. Panton Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin, one of the β-pore forming toxins. It belongs to the family of synergohymenotropic toxins, which has the ability to form pores in the membrane by its synergistic actions. Our study intends to analyze the distribution of PVL genes among the Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from our part of the country by performing Polymerase chain reaction. Phenotypic identification of Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus was carried out by Cefoxitin disk diffusion method. Panton-valentine Leukocidin gene among the MRSA isolated was characterized by Polymerase chain reaction. Out of all the MRSA samples, 24% (12/50) were positive for PVL gene at 433 bp by gradient polymerase chain reaction and 76% (38/50) were negative for PVL gene among the MRSA isolates. All the isolated MRSA were clinically classified as HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA. Among the CA-MRSA, 9 (33.3%) were found to be PVL positive whereas only 3 (13%) HA-MRSA were seen as PVL gene positive. The present study highlights the high prevalence of PVL gene from the community acquired MRSA isolates.
Emerging Challenges: Multiple Drug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Respiratory Tract Infections in Nagpur region
Authors: Kale Rashmi , Moon Archana
Published: July 2024

In the current study, Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from respiratory tract infected patients were identified and antibiotic susceptibility testing was done to analyze the resistance trend in the Nagpur region, Maharashtra State, India in RTI patients. Out of 100 clinical isolates (sputum samples), 51 isolates showed the presence of Klebsiella sp. Morphological characterization was done by performing Gram staining, motility, capsule formation, flagella, shape, size, color and spore which gave the following results Gram-negative, non-motile, capsulated, absence of flagella, circular shape, 2-3 mm size, a pink purple colony on EMB agar and pink red colony on MacConkey agar and also non-spore forming. After analysis of the antibiotic-resistant pattern, it was observed that out of 51 isolates, only 21 clinical isolates were MDR-positive. Forty-one percent of them were found to be multidrug resistant. 41% of isolates were then tested for beta-lactamase activity, out of which all 41% i.e. 21 isolates were beta-lactamase positive. Beta- lactamase enzyme was responsible for the resistance of K. pneumonia. Further study was carried out to determine whether the enzyme is extracellular or intracellular and which one is more prone to resistance. We just wanted to address the attention on RTI patients who are dying due to multiple drug resistance and the main cause of it is beta- lactamase enzyme. Thus, we need to focus on the strategy that how we can inhibit the activity of beta-lactamase enzyme and also the emergence of new or novel antibiotics for the same.

elementary school canteens
Authors: Ningsih R. , Murwani R. , Kartasurya M.I. , Sulistiyani
Published: July 2024

Cases of food poisoning after consuming snacks, food, and drinks from elementary school
canteens are still widely occurring in the Central Java Province of Indonesia. This study
aimed to evaluate food hygiene sanitation and food quality in public and private
elementary school canteens. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional
design. The sample was 225 school canteens selected by stratified random sampling
techniques. Hygiene and sanitation data were obtained using an observational checklist
from the Indonesian Health Ministry and laboratory tests. Physical observations and
laboratory tests were used to examine the food quality in school canteens and the canteen
premises. The data were analyzed using the chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. The results
showed that the quality of school canteen food that did not comply with the six criteria of
food hygiene and sanitation was 0.88%, 7.1% in chemical tests, and 44% in
microbiological tests. It also revealed differences in the food quality in the chemical
testing in public and private school canteens (p = 0.039). There was a relationship between
food quality, food raw materials (p = 0.022), and the kitchens where the food is prepared
(p = 0.006). There were differences in the physical test results between food raw materials
and food quality in public and private primary school canteens (p = 0.034). The findings
confirmed that hygiene and sanitation have an impact on food quality. Chemical food
contamination was introduced to the food through cheap, poor-quality additives and
preservatives, which are banned for use in the food industry. This study highlights the
need for regular implementation, guidance, and enforcement of food safety checks in
school canteens, emphasizing food hygiene and sanitation to prevent deliberate food
contamination and cross-contamination from the surrounding environment, storage, and
handling.

Authors: Scheepers Dirk , Schutte Flip
Published: July 2024

Purpose: This research explored the in-depth meaning of how multicultural employees perceive diversity in South African formal sector firms. In doing so, it extracted the lived experiences of multicultural employees about the cultural differences perceived within the country. South Africa is characterised by cultural and linguistic heterogeneity and a relatively large formal sector economy by African standards.
 
Methodology: For this cross-sectional study, data were gathered through a homogeneous purposive sampling of nine participants and conducting semi-structured interviews. This small sample size allows for a thorough investigation into each participant's lived experience to gather qualitative data. The specific phenomenological method used in this study is a novel interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which seeks to extract data and discern meaning in the participants' narratives.
 
Results: The findings were interpreted through the lens of social identity theory within an interpretative philosophical paradigm. These interpretations were leveraged to extract a central narrative that is grouped thematically. The main finding was identifying several factors that contribute to the spanning of cultural boundaries in South African formal sector firms.
 
Practical Implications: The study identified how participants make meaning of their experiences within the formal sector of South Africa and how their interpretations shape their behaviour and attitudes.
 
Originality/Value: The findings indicate that a significant amount of intra-country cultural diversity is perceived in the South African formal sector workplace, which can cause friction and reinforce cultural stereotypes.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative content analysis method was used in this study to analyze the editorial policy of these three newspapers.
Findings: This paper provides a meaningful and productive ground for conducting qualitative or quantitative research but can also help researchers in the designing of instruments for conducting research on the topic of individual antecedents to knowledge sharing (KS).
Implications/Originality/Value:
In this paper, in the light of the existing literature and available empirical evidence, a conceptual framework of individual antecedents (determinants) of knowledge sharing is presented

Quantum chemistry is a challenging required course in undergraduate chemistry. Despite its unconventional concepts, it is crucial for understanding modern chemistry. This study investigated how students perceive certain topics and the learning process. Interviews were conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire and sixteen content-specific questions. Some responses differed from the existing literature, such as students’ interpretations of the nature of light. In terms of learning, students acknowledged that the topic was complex due to the lack of mathematical foundations and the elevated level of abstraction. Students were primarily seeking the average grade required for admission. The data underscore the need for a deeper discussion of curriculum development and implementation. The curriculum matrix revision could provide space for more substantive thinking about content delivery and assessment processes.
Música y gordofobia. Las canciones populares en el México de los sesenta
Authors: Rodríguez Ledesma Xavier
Published: July 2024

Se analiza la manera en que en los años sesenta del siglo XX en México la disputa ideológica y cultural por la imposición de nuevos cánones y estereotipos de belleza del cuerpo tuvo en la música popular uno de sus campos de batalla. En ese sentido encontramos diversas canciones en las que se hacía el señalamiento, la crítica o franco escarnio sobre los cuerpos -en su mayoría femeninos- que no se ajustaran a la nueva normatividad estética que empezaba a imponerse. La música fue un arma más para imponer la idea de que tener sobrepeso, ser rollizo o gordo ahora sería motivo suficiente para sufrir violencia simbólica y verbal (ambas prolegómenos y justificantes para la violencia física), cuestión que hasta el día de hoy se mantiene vigente y ha sido calificada desde hace apenas unos lustros bajo el concepto de “gordofobia”.
Un bosque de esperanzas: Memorias y andanzas del Centro EcoDiálogo como un espacio de Educación para la Vida

Published: July 2024

Ante la poli-crisis civilizatoria que vivimos como humanidad, necesitamos construir espacios de regeneración y creatividad alternativa hacia la vida. Cada ser humano somos resultado de la crianza y la educación para la vida que nos nutra y acompañe en el desarrollo de nuestras potencialidades desde el amor, el cuidado y la colaboración. Quienes escribimos este texto, deseamos compartir nuestros andares e historias de sanación y aprendizaje en la tarea que durante más de veinte años nos ha implicado en la construcción de nuestro Centro EcoDiálogo.
Partiendo de nuestras historias de vida en poli-crisis, nos hallamos en los caminos de la Universidad Veracruzana para emprender nuestra re-invensión como seres humanos, como académicas y académicos viviendo en las disciplinas que nos daban sentido y al mismo tiempo nos aislaban. En estos caminos creativos fuimos tejiendo madejas multi-inter-transdisciplinares de diálogo y colaboración, espacios de creatividad que nos permitieron concebir nuevas formas de hacer academia y de salir de las aulas, cubículos y laboratrios hacia el mundo real.
Danzas, abrazos, canciones, temazcales, caminos por las nuevas academias, sentidos amorosos, lecturas y miedos nos acompañaron en la maravillosa aventura que nos llevó a la creación de la ecopoiesis ritual, la vigilia epistemológica, el ser-cuerpo y sus sentipensares, todo ello como humus, suelo fértil desde donde surgió el Centro EcoDiálogo a partir del año 2005 dentro de la Universidad Veracruzana. La educación para el florecimiento de la vida desde el compromiso del cuidado hacia la Madre Tierra, son los sentidos que en estas casi dos décadas de nuestro Centro, han guiado nuestro camino singular dentro de una Universidad pública al servicio de los territorios y de las personas a las cuales nos debemos.
