Authors: Castro Eliane Dias
Published: June 2024

O trabalho corporal, e em especial a dança, constitue-se em possibilidade de tratamento de pessoas que buscam auxílio psiquiátrico. Foram realizados encontros semanais com usuários do Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Prof. Luís da Rocha Cerqueira (CAPS-SP), ao longo de dois anos (1989-1991), cuja fundamentação teórica baseia-se Rudolf Laban, Gerda Alexander e nas aulas com Naísa França. Os encontros revelaram entre outras coisas, que esta população muito se beneficia de um momento em seu tratamento que lhes dê a vivência do corpo inteiro numa perspectiva de auto-conhecimento e expressão, desencadeando uma disposição para o lúdico, para a comunicação com o outro, e para o conhecimento de si.

Published: June 2024

The ordinary life of a disabled person who has finished a rehabilitation process is the object of this article. We attempted to identify the effects of the institucional model of rehabilitation proceeding in the quotidian actions and social relationship of people that had already experienced them sometime ago. Within the rehabilitation centers we collected data about the proceeding adopted in relation to people who had experienced the treatment, and specially to the people who were subjects ofthe research. AIso with this subjects were made intensive interviews. We could verified that, although there were many focused rehabilitation actions, only those that acquired a particular meaning in the context of ordinary life were up-to-date. We could also verifle that in the ordinary life of a disabled person, are present not only manifestations of autonomous life conduction, but also alienation, wich seems to be more connected to the rehabilitation. We have considered that, the intervention which realy intend to create autonomy has to make a option in order to break completely ali the actions to control the ordinary life.

El molestar de la incapacidad
Authors: Antón Maria Rita Martínez
Published: June 2024

A terapia ocupacional, contanto que terapia, implica a oferta de alguma resposta para a demanda de tratamento de um mal-estar. Uma demanda social de resolução de algum problema atravessa qualquer forma de tratamento, desde a delegação que autoriza sua prática (formação profissional, concessão de um título, etc.). Mas também as demandas singulares dos sujeitos que chegam a tratamento esperando uma redução do sofrimento fazem-o. A definição do mal-estar a tratar definirão ofertas e intervenções diferentes. A análise de algumas das demandas assistidas pela disciplina propõe uma deliberação desde a noção de incapacidade de um tratamento de um mal-estar oferecida por a prática da terapia ocupacional.
Metodologia da historiografia de César
Authors: Silva Paulo Roberto Souza da
Published: June 2024

Um enquadramento das obras de Caio Júlio César, os Comentários sobre a Guerra das Gálias e a Guerra Civil, dentro das características do então incipiente gênero historiográfico em Roma, requer um estudo comparativo tanto da metodologia da historiografia, enquanto discurso científico, quanto da sua apresentação, enquanto género literário. Uma apreciação seguindo os princípios e os procedimentos da retórica revela processos de justificação e veridicção apreciáveis pela moderna semiótica. O encobrimento dos processos retóricos conduz, pela pragmática, a axiomas que se situam aquém do texto, dando a impressão de imparcialidade. Essas formações ideológicas explicam o uso da historiografia como propaganda.

A teoria dos personagens em Machado de Assis
Authors: Cordeiro Marcos Rogério
Published: June 2024

Um dos aspectos mais discutidos nos estudos sobre a obra de Machado de Assis diz respeito ao modo como o escritor construiu seus personagens, dotados de complexidades psicológica e existencial. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que Machado de Assis possuía uma concepção própria de personagem, a qual ele explicitou nos prefácios de seus romances e em textos de análise literária. A partir da compreensão dessa concepção, pretendo desenvolver uma discussão sobre os personagens criados pelo escritor, observando a variedade de recursos e problemas por ele apresentada. Para tanto, partirei da análise de alguns de seus romances como Ressurreição, A mão e a luva. Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, Dom Casmurro e Esaú e Jacó.

Predictors of Clinical Outcomes and the Need for Massive Transfusion Protocols in Geriatric Trauma Patients With Hemorrhagic Shock: A Systematic Review
Authors: Nasef Hazem , Tweedie Caitlin , Bundschu Nikita , Amin Quratulain , Hernandez Nickolas , Cruz Francis , Smith Chadwick P. , Elkbuli Adel
Published: June 2024

Introduction

The current literature lacks a clear consensus on the predictors of mortality and outcomes of geriatric trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. This systematic review aims to investigate predictors of clinical outcomes and the need for massive transfusion protocol in the geriatric trauma population with hemorrhagic shock.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were searched for studies evaluating geriatric trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock or receiving MTP. Outcomes of interest included the effect of advanced age on clinical outcomes, the accuracy of SI and other variables in predicting mortality and need for MTP, and associations between blood product ratio and clinical outcomes.

Results

Fifteen studies were included in this systematic review. In most studies, advanced age was an accurate predictor of mortality and complication rates in geriatric patients undergoing management of shock with MTP. SI along with other variables such as systolic blood pressure (SBP) were sensitive predictors of mortality and the need for MTP. Studies evaluating blood product ratio found an increased incidence of complications with higher plasma: red blood cell ratios.

Conclusion

Advanced age among geriatric patients is associated with increased mortality and complications when undergoing MTP. Shock Index and age x Shock Index are accurate and reliable predictors of mortality and need for MTP in the geriatric trauma population with hemorrhagic shock suffering blunt and/or penetrating injuries. An increased plasma: RBC ratio was associated with more complications in geriatric patients.

Published: June 2024

Introduction

Despite the increasing number of female surgeons in general surgery programs, women are still inadequately represented in leadership positions. This study aims to investigate the magnitude of gender bias in university-based trauma surgery fellowship programs and leadership positions in the United States of America.

Material and Methods

FRIEDA was used to identify trauma surgery programs. A thorough website review of each program obtained further information on faculty members, including their name, age, gender, and faculty rank. Trauma surgeons with an MD or DO qualification and a faculty rank of Professor, Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor were selected for inclusion in this study. SCOPUS was used to assess the H-index and the number of publications and citations of surgeons.

Results

The total number of programs included was 136, consisting of 715 faculty members. Less than a quarter (n = 166; 23.2%) comprised females and less than one-fifth (n = 30; 19%) of female surgeons were Professors. The difference in the research productivity of male and female trauma surgeons was statistically significant ( P < .05), with the average H-index being 10 vs 7.5, respectively, amongst the top 50 surgeons of both genders. Based on a multiple regression analysis, academic rank was significantly associated ( P < .05), and gender was not significantly associated ( P > .05) with H-index.

Conclusion

Gender disparity exists in the field of trauma surgery, as noted in senior faculty ranks and leadership positions. Female-inclusive state policies, appropriate mentorship, and supportive institutions can help to bridge this gap.
Epidemiology of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media in the United States
Authors: Gupta Ankur , Thai Anthony , Santa Maria Peter Luke
Published: June 2024

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, incidence, and associated demographic factors of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), utilizing a nationwide healthcare claims database.

Methods:

This retrospective study utilized outpatient administrative claims data from the IBM MarketScan Research Database from 2007 to 2021. The database (11 246 909 584 claims with 148 147 615 unique patients) includes health data from the private-sector, Medicare/Medicaid, managed care providers, and EMR providers. Included patients had a diagnosis of CSOM based on ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes. Prevalence and health utilization were estimated by age, gender, and geographic region.

Results:

In the United States, the estimated CSOM prevalence and incidence was 0.46% and 0.03%, respectively. Among CSOM patients (n = 679 906), mean age (SD) was 8.1 (15.4) years, and 52.8% were male. Most patients (81.1%) were aged 0 to 10 years. CSOM prevalence was lower in females (OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.64-0.65, P < .001), less common in older age (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.94-0.94, P < .001), and highest in the South region (OR = 2.08, 95% CI 2.06-2.09, P < .001).

Conclusion:

Our results show CSOM prevalence (0.46%) is similar to other developed countries. CSOM prevalence was highest in those aged 0 to 10 years, in males and in the South region. Of note, prevalence and cost are likely significantly underestimated given limitations in accurate ICD-CM coding and the exclusion of uninsured patients. Further epidemiological studies are warranted to characterize the impact of CSOM on the US healthcare system.
Static and fatigue behavior of double-double glass/epoxy laminates
Authors: Vasconcelos Tomás Barros , Alves José Leandro Correia , Paiva da Costa Ferreira Evans , Freire Júnior Raimundo Carlos Silverio , Daniel Diniz Melo José
Published: June 2024

Double-double (DD) configuration has been proposed as a new concept in which a double set of double helix [±ϕ/± ψ]n angles are stacked up to form a composite laminate. This concept promises significant advantages over conventional layups for composite design optimization and manufacturing. This experimental study evaluated the performance of two elastically in-plane equivalent glass/epoxy laminates suited for wind turbine blade applications: a quadriaxial (Quad) [±45/(0/90)3]s and a double-double (DD) [±15/±75]4T. Mechanical tests were performed under cyclic uniaxial tensile-tensile load using unnotched and open hole specimens. Delamination initiating from the free edges resulted in premature failure of the unnotched DD specimens. For open hole specimens, fatigue tests results obtained from both stacking sequences showed similar performance. Ultimately, the study presented constitutes a valuable contribution to the understanding of fatigue behavior of double-double glass/epoxy laminates subjected to tensile cyclic loading.
The Role of Pericyte Migration and Osteogenesis in Periodontitis
Authors: Cao Y. , Ni Q. , Bao C. , Cai C. , Wang T. , Ruan X. , Li Y. , Wang H. , Wang R. , Sun W.
Published: June 2024

A ligature-induced periodontitis model was established in wild-type and CD146CreERT2; RosatdTomato mice to explore the function of pericytes in alveolar bone formation. We found that during periodontitis progression and periodontal wound healing, CD146+/NG2+ pericytes were enriched in the periodontal tissue areas, which could migrate to the alveolar bone surface and colocalize with ALP+/OCN+ osteoblasts. Chemokine C-X-C motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) inhibition using AMD3100 blocked CD146-Cre+ pericyte migration and osteogenesis, as well as further exacerbated periodontitis-associated bone loss. Next, primary pericytes were sorted out by magnetic-activated cell sorting and demonstrated that C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) promotes pericyte migration and osteogenesis via CXCL12-CXCR4-Rac1 signaling. Finally, the local administration of an adeno-associated virus for Rac1 overexpression in NG2+ pericytes promotes osteoblast differentiation of pericytes and increases alveolar bone volume in periodontitis. Thus, our results provided the evidence that pericytes may migrate and osteogenesis via the CXCL12-CXCR4-Rac1 axis during the pathological process of periodontitis.
Self-Regulated Parenting: A Systematic Review of the Relations Between Effortful Control, the Big-Five, and Parenting Practices
Authors: Yeshua Maor , Berger Andrea
Published: June 2024

It is well established that parents’ own self-regulation is related to adaptive parenting practices (such as warmth and sensitivity) as well as to maladaptive ones (such as laxness and over-reactivity). However, parenting practices are not solely determined by parents’ self-regulation. We discuss how broad personality dimensions (drawn from the Big-Five model) relate to temperamental self-regulation (effortful control) and to parenting practices. Considering the limited empirical literature linking these three constructs, we present extant evidence for each of the dyadic connections between these three constructs. We then propose a comprehensive model that includes the plausible moderation/mediation role of different personality dimensions (such as conscientiousness and agreeableness) on the connection between self-regulation and parenting practices. This systematic review summarizes the extant empirical findings from 74 studies, linking effortful control, character and parenting practices. It is the first to systematically review and organize the accumulating knowledge regarding their relations. Based on the reviewed literature, a conceptual framework is proposed for predicting parenting practices, which are, in turn, a crucial concept predicting children’s behavioral and cognitive outcomes. In doing so, it provides a theoretical basis for the importance of parental character traits, specifically conscientiousness and agreeableness, as mediators between the parent’s effortful control and their actual parenting practices.

Published: June 2024

HIV infection is monitored through the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) to help improve the health of people with HIV and reduce transmission. NHSS data are routinely used at federal, state, and local levels to monitor the distribution and transmission of HIV, plan and evaluate prevention and care programs, allocate resources, inform policy development, and identify and respond to rapid transmission in the United States. We describe the expanded use of HIV surveillance data since the 2013 NHSS status update, during which time the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coordinated to revise the HIV surveillance case definition to support the detection of early infection and reporting of laboratory data, expanded data collection to include information on sexual orientation and gender identity, enhanced data deduplication processes to improve quality, and expanded reporting to include social determinants of health and health equity measures. CDC maximized the effects of federal funding by integrating funding for HIV prevention and surveillance into a single program; the integration of program funding has expanded the use of HIV surveillance data and strengthened surveillance, resulting in enhanced cluster response capacity and intensified data-to-care activities to ensure sustained viral suppression. NHSS data serve as the primary source for monitoring HIV trends and progress toward achieving national initiatives, including the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States initiative, the White House’s National HIV/AIDS Strategy (2022-2025), and Healthy People 2030. The NHSS will continue to modernize, adapt, and broaden its scope as the need for high-quality HIV surveillance data remains.
Learning by Talking: Using Multimedia to Enhance Science Explanation Development of Neurodivergent Students
Authors: VanUitert Victoria J. , Millirons Emily , Coleman Olivia F. , Kennedy Michael J.
Published: June 2024

Becoming proficient in scientific discourse such as argumentation or developing explanations can be challenging for students, including neurodivergent students (e.g., autistic students, students with learning disabilities, students with ADHD). Students need to practice developing arguments and explanations as well as sharing their conclusions with others; however, these opportunities do not regularly occur. The use of multimedia technology shows promise in being an engaging and effective way to support student learning and discussion of science topics and phenomena. This study investigated the use of a multimedia presentation called Dialogic Instruction for Argumentative Learning in Science (DIALS) in supporting upper-elementary neurodivergent students to provide complete responses to science questions. DIALS provides a structured inquiry investigation to the student in which they learn about a phenomenon through completing scaffolded animated experiments, explicitly learning how to develop an argument and respond to others conclusions, and learning relevant content information to support their argument and explanation development. An adapted alternating treatments design approach was used in this study. The phenomena explored were counterbalanced between three options: DIALS, PowerPoint comparison lessons, or control probe slides. Results from this study show promise in the use of DIALS in enhancing student complete responding to questions and providing quality claims for why they think phenomena occur. Implications for the findings are discussed.
Scrutinizing Justice in Sociology: Inspiration From Social Psychology
Authors: Hegtvedt Karen A.
Published: June 2024

This address highlights the potential role of the social psychology of justice in the analysis of phenomena anchored in substantive areas like health, the environment, education, and racial and gender dynamics. To do so, I ask three questions: (1) Do sociologists attend to justice in their scholarly work? (2) When sociologists do attend to justice, do they conceptualize it clearly? and (3) Could the social psychology of justice scholarship further contribute to sociologists’ attention to and clarity of conceptualization and understanding of social phenomena? To answer the first question, I coded references to justice in the contents of publications in three American Sociological Association journals over a five-year period. For the latter two questions, I leverage illustrations drawn from the health domain. My answers are, respectively, not so much, not really, and yes. The last response, importantly, ensures that justice is seen so that it can be done.
Effects of Parental Predictors on Postpartum Depression

Published: June 2024

Background:

Postpartum depression (PPD) is highly prevalent and plagues a significant proportion of parents. Postpartum depression also exerts various negative consequences on infant development and parent-infant relationships. Social support is identified as an important factor influencing many parental predictors, and may affect the development of PPD.

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate how perceived social support can indirectly influence PPD symptoms in parents at 6 months postpartum by influencing postpartum anxiety, parental satisfaction, and parental self-efficacy (PSE).

Methods:

A secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial was used with a cross-sectional exploratory design. A total of 400 Singaporean parents (200 couples) were included, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships between PPD and potential predictors.

Results:

Findings revealed a less adequate fit between the hypothesized model and the data collected. Social support was found to be a significant predictor of postpartum anxiety, PSE, and parental satisfaction. Postpartum anxiety was a significant predictor of PPD, but PSE and parental satisfaction were not.

Conclusion:

This study provides an overview of how different parental predictors may be associated with PPD among Asian parents. Postpartum anxiety significantly predicted PPD, but social support had negative effects on postpartum anxiety, parenting satisfaction, and PSE. The findings provide further insight into how parents at risk of PPD can be identified and demonstrated how social support might negatively impact parental outcomes. More qualitative research with Asian parents is needed to further explain these findings and inform the development of future interventions.
Heterogeneous Effect of Renewable Energy Policies on Resource Misallocation: Evidence From Chinese Zombie Firms
Authors: Yi Jiahui , Dai Sheng , Cheng Jinhua , Dai Yueer
Published: June 2024

Renewable energy policies are recognized as the cornerstone of the low-carbon energy transition. However, they may cause resource misallocation between firms due to information asymmetries and differences in productivity, marginal costs, and revenues. This paper investigates the direct effects of heterogeneous renewable energy policies on resource misallocation and the mediating effects of zombie firms by using the Chinese renewable energy listed firms in the period 1995 to 2020. The empirical results show that the regulation policy not only significantly reduces resource misallocation directly but also indirectly decreases misallocation by inhibiting the formation of zombie firms, whereas economic incentives can significantly result in resource misallocation and exacerbate it by breeding zombie firms. Furthermore, heterogeneous policy effects and the mediating effects of zombie firms are found to be associated with financial dependence, factor intensity, and location. The results have profound policy implications, calling for reasonable regulations, efficient economic incentives, and scientifically targeted policies for renewable energy firms.

Anxiety in the face of Artificial Intelligence. Between pragmatic fears and uncanny terrors / Ansiedad ante la Inteligencia Artificial. Entre temores pragmáticos y terrores ominosos
Authors: Rodríguez Cristián G.
Published: June 2024

The increasingly accelerated arrival of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into several domains of our daily lives has turned negative reactions to it into a potential problem. Developers, scientists and researchers have discussed whether AI anxiety is justified. But beyond its justification, the averse affective reaction to AI does exist and is alive and well in a significant portion of the population. Psychological research, therefore, must address this phenomenon as it manifests itself. In this theoretical article we conceptually analyse early empirical approaches to quantifying AI anxiety. Similarly, we draw a connection to the literature on AI in science fiction and the research developed by social and cognitive psychologists. Finally, we provide a broader and more adequate conceptual articulation of the complex phenomenon of AI anxiety.

Comparing Marital Adjustment in Couples Having Alcohol- or Opioid-dependent Husbands
Authors: Bisoi Sayani , Kaloiya Gauri Shanker , Dhawan Anju , Sarkar Siddharth
Published: June 2024

Background:

Substance use disorder is a complex bio-psycho-social phenomenon affecting the intimate relationship of substance users with their wives. Marital adjustment may be affected due to the ongoing substance use involving the family unit.

Aim:

The present study aimed to compare marital adjustment between alcohol- or opioid-dependent patients and their spouses.

Methods:

The present cross-sectional observational study compared 25 dyads each of alcohol- and opioid-dependence syndrome taken from the outpatient department of an addiction treatment center in north India. Marital adjustment was compared using the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire (MAQ). Maudsley Addiction Profile and Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire were also applied to the patients, and Social Support Questionnaire was applied to both patients and spouses.

Results:

There was no significant difference in the sexual, social, and emotional domains and total MAQ scores between patients with alcohol- and opioid-dependence syndrome or their spouses. There was a significant positive correlation between the sexual domain score of MAQ of alcohol-dependent patients and their spouses ( r = 0.655, p < .001). The Maudsley Addiction Profile parameters, personality profile, and social support did not differ significantly across the two groups.

Conclusion:

Marital adjustment are probably equal in patients and spouses of alcohol and opioid dependence syndrome. A small sample size is a limitation of this study.

History and philosophy of geography II: In search of ‘a properly geographical theorist’
Authors: Puente-Lozano Paloma
Published: June 2024

This report offers an interpretation of recent scholarship that articulates pasts and futures of geographical thought and praxis. By focussing on growing concerns about speculative, abyssal, and analytical styles of thinking in Geography, I argue that a more cogent philosophical take on geographic theory-making is needed. Drawing upon ongoing discussions on the role of geographic theory, I use the occasion of the various history and philosophy of geography-related anniversaries to reflect on why we are where we are today. I therefore claim that practitioners of history and philosophy of geography need to address some structural difficulties to navigate tensions between recurring calls for endogenous forms of geographic theory and relentless deconstruction of epistemic and ontological arrays as a way forward for Geography to merge with critical thinking.
Letter re: Regulatory toxicology approaches in workplaces of Iran
Authors: Ebrahimi Seyed Mohammad , Rezazadeh Azari Mansur , Rahimpoor Razzagh
Published: June 2024

The objective of establishing occupational exposure limits (OELs) is to utilize them as a risk management tool, ensuring the protection of workers’ health and well-being from hazardous substances present in the workplace. To regulate and develop an OEL, it is essential to conduct toxicological studies on both animals and humans, to determine the dose–response relationship for each chemical compound, and to determine whether the dose–response relationship is linear or non-linear. Because the OELs suggested by different organizations or countries are just the result of their scientific methods, knowledge, and judgment, this does not confirm the applicability in other countries. Therefore, it is not scientific and logical to imitate the permissible limits recommended in Western countries. In most Western Asian nations, there is a significant difference in the suggested OEL levels between the reference organizations, and in assessing and managing a specific situation’s risk, using any of the proposed OELs can lead to contradictory results. Suggestions for the development and improvement of the basics of determining the OELs for chemical pollution in West Asian countries have been made.

With a young population and high internet penetration levels, Saudi Arabian users are more active than ever on social media. Close to 44% of Saudi Arabia’s users of online social networking sites are between the age of 18 and 24 years, also known as ‘zoomers’ or ‘Gen Z’. From this age group, students at the college level are one of the most prolific users of online social networks ( Alaslani & Alandejani, 2020 ). Since this study was conducted on Saudi undergraduate students, we will refer to them as zoomers in this article as they are from the same age group. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was adapted for the study to understand factors that influence the perception, acceptance and usage of online social networks by zoomers in Saudi Arabia. Data collected from 623 undergraduate students across the country reflect that while variables like task-oriented usage, trust and pleasure influenced the attitude of users, privacy was not a concern for students in choosing to use online social networks. Perceived behavioural control directly impacts the intention to use such networks; however, subjective norms or influence of peers and family did not impact the behavioural intention of the students to choose online social networking sites. A better understanding of the factors influencing the attitude of these zoomers (Gen Z) provides a massive opportunity for brands as well as social networking platforms to be able to not only reach this population effectively but also plan efficient approaches for revenue generation. This can also help academicians and government entities understand the behaviour of college-going students by exploring the constructs related to their behavioural intention to choose and use online social networks.

Published: June 2024

This study analyzes place, trends and competitiveness of the South Korean cosmetics brands to identify opportunities for the Russian cosmetics brands, whose country has suffered from a large trade deficit in the cosmetics industry despite the government’s vigorous attempts in implementing import substitution policies. We constructed the econometric models (with ordinary least square, weighted least square and robust least square estimators) of the cosmetics brands’ competitiveness by employing the endogenous factors of Porter’s diamond model, which are comprised of firm factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, and strategy, structure and rivalry. From the regression analysis, it is revealed that the brand diversification, expansion of e-commerce sales and improvement of governance quality are factors that drive up sales revenues of a cosmetic company. The follow-up comparative analysis between Russian and South Korean companies allowed us to substantiate that the main factors causing the gap between Russian and South Korean cosmetic brands are e-commerce strategies and the efficiency of the governmental system. Russian cosmetic companies should construct stable global and domestic supply chain and expand contact points with foreign customers through big data analysis and development of customized product portfolio. Furthermore, the government is recommended to implement digital services and construct a data-sharing ecosystem to enhance efficiencies of the business process.

Published: June 2024

Background

In very low birth weight infants, mother’s own milk (MOM) feeding is an essential part of the bundle of best practices to reduce potentially preventable neonatal morbidities and associated costs. Mothers of preterm infants can have an altered sequence of lactogenesis because of their preterm delivery and mother–infant separation. Healthy mothers with term infants typically experience coming to volume (CTV), that is, MOM volume of ≥ 500 ml/day, by the end of the second week of postpartum. There is paucity of data regarding MOM output in preterm mothers.

Objective

To assess MOM output and factors influencing MOM volume among mothers delivering <32 weeks during the first two weeks after birth. To determine the proportion of mothers attaining CTV and whether the first two weeks’ MOM volume predicts MOM feeding at discharge and 40 weeks corrected gestational age (CGA).

Methodology

In this prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary care NICU over a period of 18 months, the milk output of the preterm mothers was quantified, and the proportion of infants fed with MOM at discharge and 40 weeks of corrected age was assessed.

Results

The median milk output per day at the end of the first and second weeks was 180 IQR (100, 290) ml and 300 IQR (178, 420) ml, respectively. Earlier initiation of kangaroo mother care, higher birth weight of the infant, increase in the frequency of daytime milk expression and non-nutritive suckling (NNS) contributed to increased MOM output per day. The proportion of mothers who came to volume (milk output of ≥500 ml/day) by day 14 was 26 (19%). The proportion of babies on predominant MOM feeding at discharge and at 40 weeks’ follow-up was 96 (72%) and 75 (61.5%) infants, respectively. Mothers who came to volume were more likely to feed MOM at 40 weeks [odds ratio (OR) 5.2 (1.2–23.0)].

Conclusion

Higher birth weight, more frequency of daytime milk expression, earlier initiation of KMC and NNS and longer duration of KMC are factors improving the MOM output. Mothers who came to volume by the first two weeks after birth sustained feeding with MOM till 40 weeks CGA.
Why Do Young Kyrgyz Individuals Use Instagram? An Investigation of the Impacts of Surveillance/Knowledge About Others, Documentation and Self-expression Factors
Authors: Adanır Gülgün Afacan , Muhametjanova Gulshat
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the motivational factors that impact Instagram use among young Kyrgyz individuals. The theoretical framework was based on the uses and gratifications theory (UGT). In this respect, the study considered a target group actively using the Internet and social media applications. The study sample covers 515 Kyrgyz individuals between 14 and 23. Data from the sample were collected through a questionnaire based on the UGT. The study adopted a quantitative approach; hence, statistical approaches such as factor analysis, multivariate analysis of variance and correlation analysis were employed for the data analysis. According to the study results, three factors are related to Instagram use among young Kyrgyz individuals. These three factors were surveillance/knowledge about others, documentation and self-expression. The study’s results additionally demonstrated that demographic characteristics (age, gender, status of individuals, time spent on Instagram) have a different impact on individuals’ Instagram use. While gender affected only the documentation factor, time spent on Instagram was significant in all three factors: surveillance/knowledge about others, documentation and self-expression.
The Impact of Response Options On Formal Disclosure Rates for Disabilities in Organizations
Authors: Santuzzi Alecia M. , Keating Robert T. , Martinez Jesus J.
Published: June 2024

Organizations collect disability-related information from employees to meet legislative requirements, foster inclusion, and respond to employee needs. However, there are likely more employees with disabilities than those who disclose at work. We tested whether altering the response option language on a disclosure form would increase disability disclosures, and whether increases differed by disability type and visibility. Employed adults were asked to identify as having a “disability,” “qualifying impairment,” “qualifying condition,” or “qualifying disability.” Results showed more disclosures when reporting a “qualifying condition” compared to a “disability,” especially among employees with a psychological or invisible disability. The manipulation of a single term on the disclosure form can increase reporting of disabilities, providing an evidence-based step to support inclusive organizational practices.
Smash Her Calabash! The Metaphoric Construction of Phallic Masculinity in the Marketing of Herbal Aphrodisiacs in Nigeria

Published: June 2024

Recently, there has been upsurge in the advertisement of various types of herbal aphrodisiacs targeted at Nigerian men in the market environment in Calabar metropolis, southeastern Nigeria. This article explores the metaphoric construction of male genitalia in the marketing of these products from the perspective of Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980, 2003) conceptual metaphor theory (CMT). Drawing on qualitative data sourced through semi-structured interviews with 30 participants who were purposively sampled, the study provides a nuanced cultural understanding of men’s genitalia as depicted in herbal aphrodisiac ad contents and reveals that the penis is metaphorically (re)constructed as hard, strong, aggressive and destructive which are stereotyped instincts of phallic masculinity. We conclude that the marketing of herbal aphrodisiacs, apart from its claim of providing herbal remedies to men (and women’s) sexual dysfunctions, is a social site for reinforcing underlying stance and ideological structure that inform the expression of male sexual power.
Milton and the Republican Politics of Paradise Lost
Authors: Lovett Frank
Published: June 2024

Milton was both a great poet and in his own time a well-known political writer. Reading Paradise Lost in the light of his republican political writings, however, presents a serious problem because it is Satan and his confederates who speak and act like republicans in that epic poem, as would have been obvious to his contemporary readers. Rather than try to explain this problem away as others have done, this paper argues that Paradise Lost advances a powerful republican argument continuous with Milton’s earlier political views. Specifically, Paradise Lost shows that monarchy and other artificial hierarchies are evil because they contradict the natural and equal right to freedom of all human beings.
