Անգլերենի համացանցային նորաբանությունների բառակազմական առանձնահատկությունները / Derivational Peculiarities of English Internet Neologisms
Authors: BARSEGHYAN ZORI
Published: January 2025

The article examines some features of Internet discourse in the English
language, focusing on the word-formation processes involved in creating
neologisms in the field of communication technologies. The morphological
analysis of Internet-related neologisms reveals that a variety of word-formation methods are employed, including affixation, compounding, blending, abbreviation, conversion, borrowing, and semantic derivation. The analysis indicates that blending, or the formation of portmanteau words, is the predominant method, accounting for 26% of the observed 180 neologisms.

Միջառարկայական ուսուցումը որպես կրթական արդիական մոտեցում («Հայոց պատմություն» և «Հայոց լեզու և գրականություն» միջառարկայական նախագծի օրինակով) / Interdisciplinary learning as a modern educational approach
Authors: GRIGORYAN ASHKHEN
Published: January 2025

One of the important missions of modern education is the formation of
individuals with multifaceted, critical, creative communication skills who will
be able to solve problems and develop new ideas. The introduction of the
"interdisciplinary" (henceforth, interdisciplinary) learning model occupies a
unique place in education reforms. "Interdisciplinarity" is the unification of
traditional approaches, methods and knowledge, which aims at a deeper
understanding of various problems, multifaceted research and finding new
solutions. The interdisciplinary approach contributes to the expansion of
scientific worldview, as research is based on one or more disciplines. Over
time, the ideas of "interdisciplinary cooperation" and "interdisciplinary
learning environment" are increasingly becoming popular in public schools
and higher education institutions. The implementation of the interdisciplinary
project "Armenian History" and "Armenian Language and Literature" is such
an experience. In general, the multifaceted changes taking place in the world
and the solutions to existing complex problems require a dialogue and close
cooperation among specialists from different fields. The educational sector is
a primary platform in this respect.
The Division of Georgia: Ottoman-Safavid Rivalries and the Treaty of Amasya (1555-1590)
Authors: PAPIKYAN VARDAN
Published: January 2025

This article examines the impact of two critical historical events on the
geopolitical landscape of Georgia during the XVI century: the Treaty of
Amasya (1555) and the Iran-Ottoman war of 1578–1590. The study explores
how the Treaty of Amasya, as a resolution to the Ottoman-Safavid conflict,
institutionalized the division of Georgia into Ottoman and Safavid spheres of
influence, thereby fragmenting its political and territorial integrity.
Additionally, the article delves into the dynamics of Georgian-Ottoman
relations during the Iran-Ottoman war, highlighting the dual role of Georgian
kingdoms as both participants and pawns in the broader imperial contest for
dominance in the Caucasus.
Through the use of primary sources, including Ottoman archival
documents, Safavid correspondence, and Georgian chronicles, the article
provides a nuanced analysis of imperial diplomacy, military strategies, and the
local agency of Georgian rulers. By integrating these perspectives, the
research challenges traditional narratives, emphasizing the multifaceted
nature of Georgian interactions with the Ottoman and Safavid empires.
This interdisciplinary study contributes to the historiography of
Ottoman-Safavid relations and Caucasian history, shedding light on the
enduring consequences of geopolitical fragmentation and imperial rivalry. It
invites further scholarly inquiry into the regional dynamics of early modern
empires and their implications for the socio-political evolution of contested
territories like Georgia.

Objetivo: Correlacionar os valores de lactato sérico de admissão na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva com as principais complicações e desfechos dos quadros clínicos de pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgias cardíacas, buscando estabelecer o metabólito como biomarcador para o desfecho destes casos a partir de comparações entre os dados observados na pesquisa. Métodos: Estudo de caráter quantitativo exploratório, realizado de forma retrospectiva, por meio da análise de prontuários médicos dos pacientes admitidos na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva em um hospital-escola no Oeste do Paraná, após procedimentos cardíacos com uso de circulação extracorpórea. Os prontuários analisados compreendem o período entre setembro de 2022 a novembro de 2023. Resultados: Dentre os 144 prontuários analisados, 38,09% dos pacientes apresentaram aumento do valor de ácido lático no momento de admissão na UTI. Desta porcentagem, 67,21% tinham idade superior ou igual a sessenta (60) anos. Cirurgias cardíacas combinadas apresentaram maior taxa de hiperlactatemia, visto que a média de circulação extracorpórea foi maior em pacientes com este metabólito acentuado. Os escores de gravidade (APACHE II e SAPS III) revelaram-se mais altos quando em situação de hiperlactatemia. Além disso, 66,66% dos pacientes com maior lactato necessitaram de hemodiálise e 53,12% apresentaram fibrilação atrial intraoperatória. A comorbidade pré-operatória analisada foi a Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica, presente em 27,27% dos pacientes com aumento do lactato. Ademais, pacientes com hiperlactatemia tiveram um tempo prolongado de permanência em ventilação mecânica invasiva e internamento na UTI. Verificou-se finalmente que 60% dos óbitos ocorreram em pacientes com lactato maior que 3mmol/L. Conclusão: Os resultados apresentam o lactato como um bom preditor no desfecho de pacientes em pós-operatório cardíaco, apresentando-se elevado em indivíduos que desenvolveram maiores complicações e desfechos desfavoráveis.

Climatic impacts on mortality in pre-industrial Sweden
Authors: Chen Tzu Tung , Edvinsson Rodney , Modig Karin , Linderholm Hans W. , Ljungqvist Fredrik Charpentier
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Climate variability and change, as well as extreme weather events, have notable impacts on human health and mortality. In historical times, the effect of climate on health and mortality was stronger than today, owing to factors such as poor housing and healthcare, along with the nutrition status that was meditated through climatic impacts on food production. Despite this, climatic impacts on mortality in the past remain poorly understood. This study aims to improve the understanding of climate effects on mortality using annual mortality records and meteorological data from Sweden between 1749 and 1859. The analysis includes the entire population, as well as subgroups based on sex and age. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between late winter and spring temperatures and mortality (i.e. lower temperatures equal higher mortality, and vice versa). We demonstrate that colder late winter and spring seasons were linked to higher mortality levels, not only for the same year but also for the following year. Conversely, no statistically significant associations were observed between summer or autumn temperatures and mortality, and only weak associations existed with hydroclimate. The impact of late winter and spring season temperature on mortality was most pronounced for the same year in southern Sweden and during the 19th century but stronger for the following year in central Sweden and during the 18th century. These findings call for further research, especially with respect to investigating specific diseases and additional factors contributing to the observed increase in mortality following cold late winter and spring seasons in Sweden during the late pre-industrial period.
Countrywide Digital Surface Models and Vegetation Height Models from Historical Aerial Images
Authors: Marty Mauro , Piermattei Livia , Waser Lars T. , Ginzler Christian
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Historical aerial images, captured by film cameras in the previous century, are valuable resources for quantifying Earth’s surface and landscape changes over time. In the post-war period, these images were often acquired to create topographic maps, resulting in the acquisition of large-scale aerial photographs with stereo coverage. Photogrammetric techniques applied to these stereo images enable the extraction of 3D information to reconstruct digital surface models (DSMs) and orthoimages. Here, we present a highly automated photogrammetric approach for generating countrywide DSMs of Switzerland, at a 1 m resolution, from approximately 40,000 scanned aerial stereo images acquired between 1979 and 2006, with known exterior and interior orientation. We derived four countrywide DSMs for the epochs 1979–1985, 1985–1991, 1991–1998, and 1998–2006. From the DSMs, we generated corresponding countrywide vegetation height models (VHMs). We assessed the quality of the historical DSMs at the country scale and within six representative study sites, evaluating the vertical accuracy and the completeness of image-matching across different land cover types. Mean completeness ranged from 64 % for ‘glacial and perpetual snow’ to 98 % for ‘sealed surfaces’, with a value of 93 % for the ‘closed forest’ class. Across Switzerland, the median elevation accuracy of the historical DSMs compared with a reference digital terrain model (DTM) on sealed surface points ranged from 0.28 to 0.53 m, with a normalised median absolute deviation (NMAD) of around 1 m and a maximum root mean square error (RMSE) of 3.90 m. The same analysis between geodetic points and historical DSMs showed higher accuracies, with median values of ≤ 0.05 m and an NMAD < 1 m. The VHMs generated in this study enabled the detection of major changes in forest areas due to windstorm damage, forest dynamics, and growth. This work demonstrates the feasibility of generating accurate, very high-resolution DSM time series (spanning three decades) and VHMs from historical aerial images of the entire surface of Switzerland in a highly automated manner. The VHMs are already being used to estimate countrywide biomass changes. The countrywide DSMs and VHMs for the four epochs, along with auxiliary data, are available online at https://doi.org/10.16904/envidat.528 (Marty et al., 2024) and can be used to quantify long-term elevation changes and related processes across different surfaces.
Two-dimensional Differential-form of Distributed Xinanjiang Model
Authors: Zhao Jianfei , Liang Zhongmin , Singh Vijay P. , Wen Taiyi , Hu Yiming , Li Binquan , Wang Jun
Published: January 2025

Abstract. The distributed hydrologic models (DHMs) evolved from lumped hydrologic models, inheriting their modeling philosophy along with persistent numerical error issues. Historically, these models tend to use established one-dimensional (1D) methods for slope concentration, which often struggle to effectively represent complex terrains. In this study, we formulated a purely differential-form of mathematical equations for the distributed Xinanjiang model, and developed a fully-coupled numerical solution framework. We also introduced two-dimensional (2D) surface slope concentration equations, and derived 2D linear reservoir equations for subsurface slope concentration to replace their 1D counterparts. This culminated in the development of a Two-dimensional Differential-form of Distributed Xinanjiang (TDD-XAJ) model. Two numerical experiments and its application in a humid watershed were conducted to demonstrate the model. Our result suggested that: (a) numerical errors in the existing distributed Xinanjiang model were significant and may be exacerbated by a potential terrain amplification effect, which could be effectively controlled by the fully-coupled numerical framework within the TDD-XAJ model; (b) the 2D slope concentration methods showed enhanced terrain capture ability, and eliminated the reliance on flow direction algorithms used in 1D methods; and (c) the TDD-XAJ model exhibited improved simulation capabilities compared to the existing model when applied in Tunxi watershed, particularly for flood volume. This study emphasizes the need to revisit DHMs which stemming from lumped hydrological models, focusing on model equations and numerical implementations, which could enhance model performance and benefit the hydrological modeling community.
Estimating ocean currents from the joint reconstruction of absolute dynamic topography and sea surface temperature through deep learning algorithms
Authors: Ciani Daniele , Fanelli Claudia , Buongiorno Nardelli Bruno
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Our study focuses on absolute dynamic topography (ADT) and sea surface temperature (SST) mapping from satellite observations, with the primary objective of improving the satellite-derived ADT (and derived geostrophic currents) spatial resolution. Retrieving consistent high-resolution ADT and SST information from space is challenging, due to instrument limitations, sampling constraints, and degradations introduced by the interpolation algorithms used to obtain gap-free (L4) analyses. To address these issues, we developed and tested different deep learning methodologies, specifically convolutional neural network (CNN) models that were originally proposed for single-image super resolution. Building upon recent findings, we conduct an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) relying on Copernicus numerical model outputs (with respective temporal and spatial resolutions of 1 d and 1/24°), and we present a strategy for further refinements. Previous OSSEs combined low-resolution L4 satellite equivalent ADTs with high-resolution “perfectly known” SSTs to derive high-resolution sea surface dynamical features. Here, we introduce realistic SST L4 processing errors and modify the network to concurrently predict high-resolution SST and ADT from synthetic, satellite equivalent L4 products. This modification allows us to evaluate the potential enhancement in the ADT and SST mapping while integrating dynamical constraints through tailored, physics-informed loss functions. The neural networks are thus trained using OSSE data and subsequently applied to the Copernicus Marine Service satellite-derived ADTs and SSTs, allowing us to reconstruct super-resolved ADTs and geostrophic currents at the same spatiotemporal resolution of the model outputs employed for the OSSE. A 12-year-long time series of super-resolved geostrophic currents (2008–2019) is thus presented and validated against in situ-measured currents from drogued drifting buoys and via spectral analyses. This study suggests that CNNs are beneficial for improving standard altimetry mapping: they generally sharpen the ADT gradients, with consequent correction of the surface currents direction and intensities with respect to the altimeter-derived products. Our investigation is focused on the Mediterranean Sea, quite a challenging region due to its small Rossby deformation radius (around 10 km).
Effect of colloidal particle size on physicochemical properties and aggregation behaviors of two alkaline soils

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Colloidal particles are the most active soil components, and they vary in elemental composition and environmental behaviors with the particle size due to the heterogeneous nature of natural soils. The purposes of the present study are to clarify how particle size affects the physicochemical properties and aggregation kinetics of soil colloids and to further reveal the underlying mechanisms. Soil colloidal fractions, from two alkaline soils – Anthrosol and Calcisol – were subdivided into three ranges: d<2 µm, d<1 µm and d<100 nm. The organic and inorganic carbon contents, clay mineralogy and surface electrochemical properties, including surface functional groups and zeta potentials, were characterized. Through a time-resolved light scattering technique, the aggregation kinetics of soil colloidal fractions were investigated, and their critical coagulation concentrations (CCCs) were determined. With decreasing colloidal particle diameter, the total carbon content, organic carbon, organic functional groups' content and illite content all increased. The zeta potential became less negative, and the charge variability decreased with decreasing particle diameter. The CCC values of Anthrosol and Calcisol colloids followed the descending order of d<100 nm, d<1 µm and d<2 µm. Compared with the course factions (d<1 and d<2 µm), soil nanoparticles were more abundant in organic carbon and more stable clay minerals (d<100 nm); thus they exhibited strongest colloidal suspension stability. The differences in organic matter contents and clay mineralogy are the fundamental reasons for the differences in colloidal suspension stability behind the size effects of Anthrosol and Calcisol colloids. The present study revealed the size effects of two alkaline soil colloids on carbon content, clay minerals, surface properties and suspension stability, emphasizing that soil nanoparticles are prone to be more stably dispersed instead of being aggregated. These findings can provide references for in-depth understanding of the environmental behaviors of the heterogeneous soil organic–mineral complexes.

DIREITO HUMANO À ALIMENTAÇÃO ADEQUADA, MUDANÇAS INSTITUCIONAIS E O PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE ALIMENTAÇÃO ESCOLAR: NOTAS SOBRE A TRANSIÇÃO DO ESTADO GARANTIDOR DO MÍNIMO NUTRICIONAL PARA UM ESTADO PROMOTOR DA SOBERANIA ALIMENTAR
Authors: Alves Correa Leonardo , Clark Giovani , Filgueiras Frederico Quesado
Published: January 2025

O artigo tem como objeto analisar as mudanças institucionais do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) em relação ao mecanismo de aquisição da alimentação produzida pela agricultura familiar. A situação-problema da pesquisa consiste em indagar: em que medida a reformulação institucional do PNAE - inicialmente uma política pública centrada apenas na garantia do acesso aos alimentos para incluir também uma política econômica indutora (incentivo) visando a aquisição de alimentos de produtores locais – pode representar um novo padrão institucional nas políticas públicas de segurança alimentar e nutricional? A metodologia do trabalho é histórico-documental por meio da análise da evolução institucional das políticas públicas de alimentação escolar, bem como dos referencias normativos. Já o marco teórico da investigação é um diálogo entre uma perspectiva do Direito de desenvolvimento e crescimento – em especial do Direito Econômico, com as pesquisas sociológicas de desenvolvimento rural de Sérgio Shneider. A hipótese do trabalho consiste em afirmar que a alteração do PNAE representou a mudança de um modelo de Estado garantidor do mínimo nutricional para um Estado promotor da soberania alimentar.
A escolha da Háiresis
Authors: Abreu dos Santos Gabrielle
Published: January 2025

A seguinte pesquisa aborda os primeiros debates acerca do conceito de heresia durante a Antiguidade Tardia e princípios da Idade Média. A partir das interpretações de teólogos antigos, a Igreja elaborou aparatos e documentações legais que condenavam práticas e ritos considerados heréticos. Os teólogos do período se esforçaram em elaborar teorias e justificativas que, futuramente, seriam usadas na elaboração de sínodos, cânones, decretos e bulas papais e ata de concílios eclesiais. Pensado como uma escolha fora do cristianismo e prática ortodoxa, a pesquisa apresenta alguns apontamentos de como os teólogos interpretaram as divergências religiosas do período, e como a construção do conceito de heresia transpassou a Antiguidade Tardia e a Idade Média.

Pedagogia Histórico Crítica
Authors: De Melo Costa Junio Omundsen
Published: January 2025

A partir da intensificação da fragmentação do currículo sistematizado de interesses da classe dominante na formação da mão de obra rápida e barata, a educação esvazia-se de conhecimentos históricos que contribuem para a plena formação do estudante. O objetivo da pesquisa foi refletir sobre os fundamentos da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica e sua emergência na educação contemporânea. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica, descritiva, em que teóricos da educação e artigos científicos retirados dos repositórios digitais da Scientific Digital Library Online – Scielo, Google Scholar e Capes. Ficou evidenciado que na sociedade contemporânea, a escola cumpre papel de socializadora do conhecimento sistematizado, historicamente e socialmente construído. Tal sociabilização é o ponto de partida para estimular a reflexão crítica e preparar o estudante para a atuação cidadã como agente de transformação social.
midiatização da mulher na linguagem artística
Authors: Ninlova Xavier
Published: January 2025

A midiatização da mulher na linguagem artística mostra-se um fenômeno complexo, muito por conta das intermediações culturais, sociais e políticas que variam de sociedade para sociedade. Com o advento das Novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e a proliferação das redes sociais, a imagem da mulher é frequentemente construída e reconstruída de forma estereotipada, relegando a sua importância para um plano inferior. Ao longo da história da arte, a representação da mulher tem gravitado entre a idealização e objetificação. Para a elaboração deste trabalho, analisamos duas músicas de artistas moçambicanos oriundos da região Norte, concretamente da província de Nampula: Ali Faque com a canção intitulada Kinachukuro e Zena Abacar com o tema Kihiyeni. As músicas foram cantadas em Emakhuwa, na variante Nahara (Ilha de Moçambique) e Ecoti (Angoche). Os resultados do estudo revelam que Zena Abacar se desdobra na denúncia dos rótulos negativos incutidos a mulher pelo simples facto de ela procurar ganhar o seu espaço na sociedade, enquanto Ali Faque procura mostrar a importância da mulher-mãe que enfrenta todas as adversidades para proteger o seu filho e da influência divina para o seu sucesso na sociedade.

Strongyloides stercoralis infection is common among children living in rural areas in developing countries especially in sub-Saharan Africa with serious public health significance. This study presents a mathematical modeling and analysis of transmission dynamics and control of Strongyloides stercoralis in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. A mathematical model based on the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Treated-Public Health Education-Filariform Larvae (SEITPF) compartments for Strongyloides stercoralis was formulated. A qualitative analysis was performed and disease equilibrium points together with their stabilities were derived. The basic reproduction number, R0, was computed and used as a threshold value using the next generation matrix method. It was established that the unique endemic equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable provided R0 > 1. Additionally, to ascertain the impact of various parameter values on the growth of Strongyloides stercoralis, a sensitivity analysis of R0 was conducted. Ultimately, a numerical analysis of these parameters' effects on the infected humans revealed that treatment, public health education, and good personal hygiene should all be used in tandem to effectively eradicate Strongyloides stercoralis and other NTDs infections in the study area.

Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious orthopaedic complication and its diagnosis, particularly in the upper extremity, is difficult and poorly defined in current literature. An international consensus definition of FRI was published in 2018, and our scoping review aims to investigate FRI diagnostic tools reported in the primary literature and their biostatistical utility.

A review of articles generated from the PubMed/NCBI search term “fracture-related infection” was undertaken using PRISMA methodology. The included studies were published from January 2018 to June 2022 and referred to FRI diagnosis in the upper extremity.

Of 224 returned studies, 32 articles were selected for further review after fellowship-trained senior author assessment. Of these, 16 had quantitative and reportable data regarding the diagnosis of upper extremity FRI. The most common diagnostic methods reported were CRP (8 studies), WBC (7), and ESR (5), consistent with 1 of the six suggestive criteria from the consensus definition. Meta-analysis was performed.

Primary literature regarding the diagnosis of upper extremity fracture-related infections is sparse and variable despite FRI’s diagnostic and therapeutic complexity. Recent literature does not reflect the proposed criteria of the 2018 consensus definition; further primary research is needed to validate these criteria and their accuracy and utility

Unusual swelling of the hand and multiple nodules over the body – beware of mycobacteria
Authors: BOM Frank
Published: January 2025

Atypical mycobacteria can cause rare and atypical infections of the hand. We report the case of an immunocompetent 46-year-old male initially presenting with thumb felon and progressively developing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, tenosynovitis of multiple fingers and a sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection causing chronic cutaneous lesions all over the body. We would like to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of these atypical infections, which mimic other conditions and can cause a lot of morbidity.
Empowering Autistic College Students: A Call-to-Action for the Increase of Specialized Support Programs in Higher Education
Authors: Barge Marilyn , Malone Kayla M. , Kim Irang
Published: January 2025

The rise in college enrollment of students with autism has highlighted unique academic, social, emotional, and executive functioning challenges. To address these needs, there is an urgent call for tailored support programs. Despite the demand for comprehensive support, a national shortage of autism-specific programs persists. This study, drawing upon empowerment theory, assesses the effectiveness of support systems empowering autistic students in higher education. This call-to-action paper emphasizes the necessity for federal intervention to establish training programs for college staff and academic support systems to facilitate the success of postsecondary students with autism. In addressing the keywords of higher education autism, college students with disabilities, autism support for adults, transition to adulthood, and accommodations, this paper advocates for vital changes to support this growing demographic.
Evaluation of buffalo milk production in several states of Venezuela
Authors: Montiel-Urdaneta Néstor Simón , Pérez-González José Raúl
Published: January 2025

The buffalo is used as an efficient fodder converter in bovine production systems into milk and quality meat. To know the potential of milk production (MP) in Venezuela, a database was evaluated from 1992 to February 2023 from 36 farms (F) in 12 states of Venezuela, corresponding to 182,413 buffaloes, 198,056 lactations, and 1,440,448 milk controls. The factors evaluated were: ecological zone (EZ), farm (F), breed (B): Murrah predominance (Mu), Mediterranean predominance (Me) and undefined crossbreeding (UC), year of study (YS), number of calvings (NC), lactation duration (LD), dry days (DD) and maternal milk production (MMP). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, using the statistical package SAS version 9, 1. The linear additive model used was:

first-calving buffaloes between 180 and 195 days; the highest LD was observed in eighth and ninth-calving buffaloes at 310 and 330 days. The average daily milk per lactation was 6.16 ± 1.80 with a CV of 29.22%, with values as low as 3.93 kg/day; the highest average was 7.35 kg/day, but values higher than 10 kg/day/buffalo were also observed in the data analyzed. The factors EZ, F, NC, LD, DD, and MMP were statistically significant (p<0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that these factors cause variability in MP. Factor B was not statistically significant (p>0.05).
Intestinal parasitic infection and its contributing factors in children of the primary schools in Karbala Governorate
Authors: Abdul Razzaq Oleiwi Jasim
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infections are still common in developing countries including Iraq, particularly in children. They are mostly associated with unsafe, low-quality drinking water and poor personal and environmental sanitation.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of intestinal parasitic infection among primary school children.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 450 primary school students selected randomly using a stratified sampling technique. The list of all students from grades 1–6 was arranged alphabetically and served as a sampling frame. In this study, undertaken between September 2021 and March 2022 A structured questionnaire was used together with data on environmental, socio-demographic and behavioural factors. Stool specimens were collected from all study subjects and were examined for intestinal parasites using direct smear (mount examination) and Formal-ether concentration techniques.

Results: Among 450 primary school children 60% (268) had intestinal parasites. Male: Female ratio is 1:1. Most infected children were from rural areas (63.1%), students whose mothers were housewives (72.4%), and about half of the parents had primary or intermediate educational levels. Enterobiusvermicularis was the most common intestinal helminth infection (27.6%), whereas Entamoebahistolytica was the most common protozoa infection (16.4%). On applying binary logistic regression analysis, rural residence of the students, not enough family income,

Conclusion: low educational level of the mothers, Poor hand washing practice before eating, after playing outside and hand washing without soap and similar material, poor hygienic facilities like faulty sewage carriage system at school, sharing the same bed, mixed sources of drinking water were the sole factors significantly associated with increased odds of high prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among primary school children.

Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection primarily affecting the respiratory system, leading to severe coughing, particularly in infants under one year of age. These infants face significant risks for serious complications, including pneumonia and neurological damage. While adults may show mild symptoms, they can still spread the disease. Vaccination has greatly reduced whooping cough cases, but periodic outbreaks occur due to waning immunity from both infection and vaccination. To protect newborns, it is crucial for pregnant women to receive the acellular diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTPa) vaccine during the third trimester, ideally between weeks 27 and 32, facilitating the transfer of maternal antibodies to the baby. However, recent statistics show that only about 50% of pregnant women in Italy are vaccinated, with notable disparities based on age and education. The dTPa vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe whooping cough in infants, as the disease can lead to high hospitalization rates and is potentially fatal. Furthermore, the influenza vaccine is recommended during pregnancy to protect both mothers and children from severe illness. This article aims to raise awareness about the importance of vaccination against whooping cough and influenza during pregnancy, emphasizing that successful immunization requires a collective effort from the entire community to protect vulnerable populations, particularly newborns.

Cormac McCarthy’s “Truth That Would Silence Poetry a Thousand Years”: The Atomic Bomb and the Fate of the West in The Passenger and Stella Maris
Authors: Hawkins Ty
Published: January 2025

This article asks why, for Cormac McCarthy’s 2022 duology, the United States’ 1945 deployment of the atomic bomb “sealed forever” the West’s fate. To answer that question, the article revisits a foundational argument that runs not just through McCarthy’s last novels, but rather his entire oeuvre: whether the human person’s generative or analytical capacity possesses priority. McCarthy frames this distinction as one between “poetry” and “number.” What the bombing of Hiroshima should have taught us, he contends, is that while the “poetry” we share and live does indeed possess primacy, the negative potential of humankind’s intellection—the destructiveness of “number”—is so vast that it can end poetry altogether. For McCarthy, moreover, the atomic bombing already has ended the “poem” that was Western civilization.
Eurydice’s Rhythm Changes (Sarah Ruhl)
Authors: Pettit Alexander
Published: January 2025

The heroine of Sara Ruhl’s Eurydice finds meaning in music, specifically rhythm. Eurydice’s song is George and Ira Gershwin’s heavily syncopated “I Got Rhythm” (1930), which distinguishes her from her husband, Orpheus, with whom Ruhl associates the rhythmically tame “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me).” Music, Orpheus’s province in myth, marks Eurydice’s growth beyond her callow wannabe tutor.
Femi Osofisan or Ahmed Yerima?
Authors: Okpadah Stephen Ogheneruro
Published: January 2025

The aim of modern African drama was to disrupt the grip of Western tradition on performances on the continent, and to propagate indigenous narratives. There was an extensive enterprise at decolonizing colonized cultural spaces. Playwrights such as Ngugi Wa Thiong’o in Kenya and Efua Sutherland in Ghana incorporated traditional performance aesthetics in their works as a way of advancing the decolonial agenda. In Nigeria, apart from the Nobel Laureate for literature, Wole Soyinka, two dramatists that have been able to bridge their corpus of works with the ideology of their times are the socialist, Femi Osofisan, and the postmodernist, Ahmed Yerima. Although numerous contentions abound in regard to the most prominent of these two dramatists, this article uses content analysis method to examine their works and contributions to theatre practice in Nigeria and Africa. The study investigates the ideo-aesthetics, and style of the two playwrights, and the relevance of their works to their immediate societies.
