Coagulopathy and Brain Injury Pathogenesis in Post-Covid-19 Syndrome
Authors: Marzoog Basheer Abdullah
Published: April 2022

The post-COVID neurological syndrome has been coined, which describes the functional
and structural sequelae of coronavirus infection disease-19 (COVID-19) in the brain.
Mild/severe manifestations of the post-COVID neurological syndrome have been identified in
approximately 33.00% of COVID-19 survivors. The presence of neurological complications after
COVID allowed neuropathologists to investigate in-depth the role of viral infection in neurons.
The pathophysiology of the post-COVID neurological syndrome involved the development of a
systematic response, including coagulopathy characterized by the formation of microthrombi.
Coagulopathy, an old term for a new disease, describes the discrepancy between pro-coagulant
and anticoagulant systems due to overexpression of pro-coagulant substances and or their receptors
in addition to suppression of the anticoagulant molecules and or their receptors. Vascular
endothelial cells and hepatocytes play a central role in the regulation of hemostasis that is disrupted
during the acute phase response (APR) of coronavirus-19 (COVID-19). Currently, coagulopathy
and inflammation are termed together since both form a complementary system, indicated
by the elevation of inflammatory biomarkers (APR) and fibrinolysis biomarkers (Ddimer/
fibrin). The later events of the post-COVID neurological syndrome are primarily induced
by coagulopathy and direct viral tropism. Therefore, the paper introduces the hypothesis of coagulopathy
induced post-COVID neurological syndrome.
Impact of the Current Scenario and Future Perspectives for the
Management of Oral Diseases: Remarkable Contribution of Herbs in
Dentistry
Authors: Ahuja Ashima , Singh Sonia
Published: April 2022

Background:

Background: Herbs are the primary feedstock for treating numerous infectious
diseases occurring in humans. The herb serves as a potential resource for managing dental
disorders by maintaining oral hygiene and reducing the growth of microbes through the use of
antimicrobial agents. The body-to-mouth connection helps essential facets that reduce the
vulnerability of inflammation and infections in the mouth. The herbal product offers a better
alternative for oral care than antibiotics due to reduced side effects and increased patient
compliance.

:

Herbs used in dentistry contain antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and
antiviral properties that help in reducing irritation, infections, and pain in the oral cavity. The
resistance to antibiotics and overcoming their untoward side effects promoted the usage of
herbals in dentistry. In addition, due to the affordability issues of allopathic medicines in rural
areas, the dependency of poor people on herbal medicines has gained significant popularity in
the Indian subcontinent.

Objective:

Oral disorders would be a significant health setback for humankind due to their
severity if they remained untreated. This review promotes the efforts made to overcome the
side effects of allopathic medicines and provide cost-effective herbal treatment for oral care.
Oral disorders cause various infections like tooth decay, dental caries, gingivitis, fungal, viral
and bacterial infections, plaque formation, pemphigus vulgaris, pyorrhoea and mouth ulcers.
The use of herbal extracts of tulsi, neem, and turmeric as a natural healer and the safest
antimicrobial provides better dental care treatment. In addition, aromatic agents like tulsi,
neem, mint, clove, ginger, and turmeric as dental products have increased palatability for
patients who have lost their taste buds with growing age and diseases.

Method:

The literature search was conducted through academics, Google scholar, PubMed,
WHO, and Sci.org using keywords dentistry, antimicrobials, herbs for dental management,
experimental findings, bacterial strains, oral health, and hygiene.

Results:

The beneficial results of using various antimicrobial-containing herbs are gaining
popularity throughout the world. Subsequently, it has been further suggested that
antimicrobials and herbal extracts maintain oral hygiene, reduce bacterial lichens and biofilm
adhesion, help in the management of oral infections, and improve health.

Conclusion:

Screening of newer antimicrobial formulations like dentifrices, gargles, throat
paints, mouthwashes, and mouth sprays containing cost-effective herbals for promoting
healthcare plays a pivotal role in developing herbal industries for dental care.

Authors: Shapiro, MD Scott , Wiseman, BS Brian , Kellermeyer, MD Brian , Carr, MD, DMD, PhD Michele , Wetmore MD, MBA Stephen , Cassis, MD Adam
Published: April 2022

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an acute loss of hearing due to poorly understood insults to the inner ear. SSNHL is a medical emergency warranting urgent referral to an otolaryngology specialist because hearing outcomes are improved with steroid treatment that must be administered soon after the onset of hearing loss to be effective, making early diagnosis and triage essential to salvaging hearing. This prospective study catalogued the timeline of the onset of hearing loss, diagnosis, treatment, and settings where care was administered for patients with SSNHL. We diagnosed 21 patients with SSNHL in the otolaryngology specialty clinics of West Virginia University over a 6 month time period. Nine of those patients (42.9%) were diagnosed outside of the window for treatment. The most common cause of delayed diagnosis was inappropriate treatment and triage in the primary care setting, As the quality of life burden of hearing loss is quite significant, improving recognition and triage in the primary care setting would allow for more patients with SSNHL to undergo treatment, improving hearing outcomes and quality of life.
Sleeping in an Inclined Position to Reduce Snoring and Improve Sleep: In-home Product Intervention Study
Authors: Danoff-Burg Sharon , Rus Holly M , Weaver Morgan A , Raymann Roy J E M
Published: April 2022

Background

Accurately and unobtrusively testing the effects of snoring and sleep interventions at home has become possible with recent advances in digital measurement technologies.

Objective

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using an adjustable bed base to sleep with the upper body in an inclined position to reduce snoring and improve sleep, measured at home using commercially available trackers.

Methods

Self-reported snorers (N=25) monitored their snoring and sleep nightly and completed questionnaires daily for 8 weeks. They slept flat for the first 4 weeks, then used an adjustable bed base to sleep with the upper body at a 12-degree incline for the next 4 weeks.

Results

Over 1000 nights of data were analyzed. Objective snoring data showed a 7% relative reduction in snoring duration (P=.001) in the inclined position. Objective sleep data showed 4% fewer awakenings (P=.04) and a 5% increase in the proportion of time spent in deep sleep (P=.02) in the inclined position. Consistent with these objective findings, snoring and sleep measured by self-report improved.

Conclusions

New measurement technologies allow intervention studies to be conducted in the comfort of research participants’ own bedrooms. This study showed that sleeping at an incline has potential as a nonobtrusive means of reducing snoring and improving sleep in a nonclinical snoring population.
Evaluating the Implementation of the GREAT4Diabetes WhatsApp Chatbot to Educate People With Type 2 Diabetes During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Convergent Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Mash Robert , Schouw Darcelle , Fischer Alex Emilio
Published: April 2022

Background

In South Africa, diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, which was exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most education and counseling activities were stopped during the lockdown, and the GREAT4Diabetes WhatsApp Chatbot was innovated to fill this gap.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the chatbot in Cape Town, South Africa, between May and October 2021.

Methods

Convergent mixed methods were used to evaluate the implementation outcomes: acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, cost, coverage, effects, and sustainability. Quantitative data were derived from the chatbot and analyzed using the SPSS. Qualitative data were collected from key informants and analyzed using the framework method assisted by Atlas-ti. The chatbot provided users with 16 voice messages and graphics in English, Afrikaans, or Xhosa. Messages focused on COVID-19 infection and self-management of type 2 diabetes.

Results

The chatbot was adopted by the Metro Health Services to assist people with diabetes who had restricted health care during the lockdown and were at a higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 infection. The chatbot was disseminated via health care workers in primary care facilities and local nonprofit organizations and via local media and television. Two technical glitches interrupted the dissemination but did not substantially affect user behavior. Minor changes were made to the chatbot to improve its utility. Many patients had access to smartphones and were able to use the chatbot via WhatsApp. Overall, 8158 people connected with the chatbot and 4577 (56.1%) proceeded to listen to the messages, with 12.56% (575/4577) of them listening to all 16 messages, mostly within 32 days. The incremental setup costs were ZAR 255,000 (US $16,876) and operational costs over 6 months were ZAR 462,473 (US $30,607). More than 90% of the users who listened to each message found them useful. Of the 533 who completed the whole program, 351 (71.1%) said they changed their self-management a lot and 87.6% (369/421) were more confident. Most users changed their lifestyles in terms of diet (315/414, 76.1%) and physical activity (222/414, 53.6%). Health care workers also saw benefits to patients and recommended that the service continues. Sustainability of the chatbot will depend on the future policy of the provincial Department of Health toward mobile health and the willingness to contract with Aviro Health. There is the potential to go to scale and include other languages and chronic conditions.

Conclusions

The chatbot shows great potential to complement traditional health care approaches for people with diabetes and assist with more comprehensive patient education. Further research is needed to fully explore the patient’s experience of the chatbot and evaluate its effectiveness in our context.

Authors: Kim Jiyeong , Pighin Melissa A. , Lopez Javier E. , Choi Yong K.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Intelligent Voice Assistant (IVA), including Amazon Echo, is one of the burgeoning technologies to support older adults' health management. A growing body of literature has reported disparities in access and use of IVAs among older adults. However, little is known about the usability of IVAs currently available in the market from the older adult user perspective.

OBJECTIVE

Thus, this study aimed to describe the status quo of IVA's usability and potential barriers to adoption among older adults.

METHODS

We conducted a systematic usability evaluation of three major voice applications, called 'skill,' for health management in Amazon Alexa App market (myNursebot, OneDrop, Nutritionix). Task completion and Voice Usability Interface (VUI) heuristic evaluations were assessed using personas and scenarios.

RESULTS

We 1) identified potential barriers to using IVAs, 2) better understand how different personas interact with IVAs differently, 3) found areas that need improvement in IVA utilization among older adults.

CONCLUSIONS

IVAs are promising tools to meet the older adults' home health management needs, including medication intake management, blood pressure/blood glucose level monitoring. The results of heuristic evaluations in task completion and VUI by personas and scenarios showed potential barriers to using IVAs for older adults' health management. This novel knowledge will provide useful insights into the future development and implementation of IVAs in older adults.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major healthcare havoc across all life aspects as we know it and oncological services were no exception. At the start of the pandemic, the UAE government took early and effective approaches which all successfully played a crucial part in controlling the rate of infection. Unfortunately, however, with the implementation of these measures, the strain on the healthcare facilities necessitated the cessations of elective procedures and created gaps in many routine screening appointments for women seeking early detection of breast cancer, this delay in vital screening amidst the COVID-19 pandemic is thought to be responsible for the concerning spike in late-stage breast cancer cases across the country today. Additionally, there have been numerous reports of an increasing number of late-stage breast cancer diagnoses as an unintended effect of the pandemic's early lockdowns and medical restrictions. Oncology experts worldwide are expressing their fears over this new phenomenon known as the “Tsunami of Cancer” where there will be an expected upscale in cancer diagnoses on a global level. In order to prevent catastrophic implications on the healthcare system, it is vital to prioritize early screening efforts, increase research funding and awareness towards breast cancer prevention, and interdisciplinary collaborations in mitigating this rising public health challenge. To date, there has been a lack of published papers in this context in the UAE. The aim of this paper is to highlight the implications surrounding breast cancer screening in the UAE and provide recommendations for change.

O devširmi ili danku u krvi, adžami oglanima i janičarima pisano je dosta na osnovu istorijskih izvora i naše i strane provenijencije. Mnogi naši istoričari su se bavili ovom temom kao jednim od najtragičnijih procesa koji su se dešavali u našim zemljama u prvim vekovima Osmanlijske vladavine. Razume se, da su se time bavili i brojni turski naučnici nastojeći da tome daju značaj jednog opravdanog procesa u vreme tursko-osmanske imperijalne ekspanzije ipak priznajući da to po šerijatu i Kur֨ anu nije bilo dozvoljeno. Pisano je i slobodnom naracijom kao što su često činili književnici i publicisti. Svako je imao neki svoj pogled na tu specifičnu pojavu nastalu na Orijentu koju su u naše zemlje doneli Turci Osmanlije kao osvajači i viševekovni okupatori. Ovaj rad je deo autorovog istraživanja uzroka i posledica islamizacije na srpskom etničkom i i kulturnom prostoru čemu su značajno doprineli devširma ili danak u krvi, adžami oglani, janičari, turski visoki državni i verski funkcioneri koji su bili poreklom iz naših krajeva.

Published: April 2022

La disfagia se define como la dificultad para transportar un bolo alimenticio de forma segura y efectiva desde la cavidad oral hasta el estómago. En la actualidad, los métodos para el diagnóstico de la disfagia son invasivos y altamente dependientes de la experiencia del personal asistencial cualificado. El estudio de las bioseñales, como lo son los registros de voz y habla, ha sido propuesto con el fin de desarrollar herramientas complementarias al diagnóstico. De esta manera, el presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo explorar, en características extraídas en señales de voz y habla, la capacidad de discriminación entre personas sanas y pacientes con trastornos deglutorios. Para ello se registraron señales en un grupo de 30 personas sanas y 45 pacientes diagnosticados con disfagia. Los participantes realizaron diferentes tareas de voz (vocales sostenidas) y de habla (texto leído, monólogo y ejercicios diadococinéticos). Los registros de los pacientes fueron etiquetados en tres condiciones clínicas: voz húmeda, voz disfónica y voz con alteración no determinada. Se evaluaron espacios de características clásicas asociadas al análisis de voz y habla a través de pruebas estadísticas hallándose que las características relacionadas a la fonación, prosodia y diadococinesia tienen potencial como biomarcadores para la discriminación de diferentes alteraciones en pacientes con disfagia. Este trabajo constituye una aproximación preliminar basada en el estudio de señales de voz y habla para un diagnóstico no invasivo y objetivo de la disfagia.

A Review of Biophilic Design Conception Implementation in Architecture
Authors: Zare Ghazaal , Faizi Mohsen , Baharvand Mohammad , Masnavi Mohammadreza
Published: April 2022

This review is about biophilic design and architecture, definitions, implications and application. Scan books and studies have illustrated that the existence of terms ‘Biophilic’ and ‘Architecture’ in tandem is dramatically low, and it seems that there is no commonly agreed definition of biophilic architecture among researchers and professionals. Therefore, it has attempted to refine the concept of biophilic design in architecture, and clarifying ambiguities. The authors employed a systematic literature review methodology to synthesize research. The search results included 112 studies in the past 35 years(1984 – March 2020). Finally, 45 papers and books on the biophilic architecture were evaluated and analyzed accurately based on the leading purpose of this review study. Biophilic architecture(BA) inherently seeks to establish a reconnection between human beings and nature, and its main purpose is to promote human health and well-being. Implementation of ​​BA should be done according to 14 biophilic design patterns and the Kellert framework. However, more research is needed to discover and develop the underlying aspects of the definition of BA, such as the need for environmental health and to meet the needs of the human’s evolutionary dimensions, which is the main distinguishing feature of this approach.

Authors: Montoya Olga Lucia , Zuluaga Cesar Augusto Mejía
Published: April 2022

For the design of schools in Colombia, NTC 4595: Planning and Design of School Facilities and Environments, offers design recommendations to achieve comfortable spaces in terms of thermal, visual and auditory comfort. The aim of the contribution, derived from a PhD research, is to analyze the comfort in classrooms of public schools in Cali in terms of: a. climatic moments and b. level of compliance with the Technical Standard, in order to validate the relevance of the recommendations to the comfort perceived by students. The methodology used is the User Perception Environmental Audit, in four public schools, for which measurements of environmental parameters were made with specialized equipment and surveys of 535 students. Statistical processing was carried out using test for paired samples, and one way ANOVA's. Among the main findings is the low use of external environmental conditions, derived from inflexible architectural envelopes; in addition to the low relationship between compliance with the standard and the comfort perceived by students. This demonstrates the need for further study of the normative ranges and recommendations for tropical contexts such as the one studied.

The Hot Peace in Indo-Pacific: Contesting Quadrilateral Security Dialogue Against Chinese Geopolitics in the Indian Ocean Region
Authors: Jose Hino Samuel , Nashir Asep Kamaluddin
Published: April 2022

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue is a strategy to contain China which has now reached the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) as part of the Chinese geostrategy in the Indo-Pacific to counterbalance US and western hegemony. The dynamics brought by the minilateral realm and bilateral conflicts within the Indo-Pacific have contributed to the shaping of the region's security architecture. This article discusses the contentions between India - China competition; ASEAN, Quad, and the implications to IOR; and how the Quad Plus notion is affecting further geopolitical deliberation in the Indo-Pacific. The article concludes that the Quad is an important platform for years ahead and the rising notion of the Quad Plus will remain as the future challenge for both sides. This may redefine the Indo-Pacific concept itself, however, it is assured that ASEAN will play as a collaborative agent to China and the Quad, while also prioritise their interests over the region.

The “ASEAN WAY” Revisited For Strengthening Regional Environmental Governanance: A Macro Perspective
Authors: Huang Yitian
Published: April 2022

The “ASEAN Way” has been applied to tackle regional environmental problems in Southeast Asia for decades. As the political economy in Asia Pacific has become more turbulent in the 2020s, the “ASEAN Way” faces more difficulties. This article attempts to explore how the “ASEAN Way” could play a larger role under new circumstances. After looking into the traditional concerns about international actors, it discusses the domestic constraints of the “ASEAN Way”, which include corruption, lack of environmental capacity and negligence. On this basis, it analyses traditional implications of the “ASEAN Way” for environmental governance. It suggests that being non-interfering in nature, the “ASEAN Way” has three technical features in the sense that it is in favour of strengthening and using institutional linkage, promoting standard harmonisation, and integrating environmental protection into a broad development agenda. Three new challenges at the macro level are identified and discussed: industrial relocation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Sino-US tension. Then it analyses three directional policy options for augmenting the “ASEAN Way” in the face of old and new conditions: further involving environmental NGOs, incrementally engaging neighboring countries and international institutions, and adopting a market-oriented approach to transnational policy coordination. It concludes by discussing how these policy options could be gradually implemented by ASEAN and its external partners.
Cultural Diplomacy of Thailand and Indonesia in the Philippines
Authors: Abuan Romina Eloisa Manabat
Published: April 2022

Cultural diplomacy, often overlapping with public diplomacy, is defined as the exchange of ideas, information, values, systems, traditions, beliefs, and other aspects of culture with the intent to foster mutual understanding, enhancing socio-cultural cooperation and promoting national interests between two or more States. The Philippines can be conceptualised as an arena for States to win hearts and minds through cultural diplomacy. This article focuses on Indonesia and Thailand. Indonesia, at a glance, is active in sharing its culture and language through the Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) programme while Thailand is the first to practise ‘gastro diplomacy’ or tourism diplomacy. This paper tackles three questions: Firstly, how do Indonesia and Thailand’s respective foreign policy goals translate to cultural diplomacy set in the Philippines? Secondly, using the concept of soft power, why are Indonesia and Thailand actively practicing cultural diplomacy? And thirdly, what possible outcomes do Indonesia and Thailand seek to achieve from the cultural and educational events and programmes provided for and promoted by their embassies in the Philippines?

The objective of this paper is to analyse how the issue of “comfort women” affects Japan’s relations with its neighboring countries, namely South Korea and the Philippines, using qualitative methods, and constructivism as the conceptual framework. “Comfort women” or “jugun ianfu” in Japanese, and “wianbu” in romanized Korean, is an euphemism used to describe young women from all across Asia who were forced to please the Japanese troops sexually during World War II. These young women were deceived, lured, or kidnapped and then confined in “comfort stations.” Initially, the Japanese government denied that they had systematically confined these so-called “comfort women” and distributed them to comfort stations to be sex slaves, and rejected demands for a formal apology and war reparations to the victims. This had outraged South Korea and the comfort women survivors. This paper suggests that Japan finally admitted its role in the establishment of comfort stations in 1993, and has been trying to make amends with these countries. The process of making amends remains a persistent controversy, with Japan seeking to turn over a new leaf and many South Koreans and Filipinos striving to not let the tragic history be forgotten.

International Financial Reporting Standards 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15) was issued to inhibit the use of revenues for earnings management purposes. During COVID-19, the standard was used to manage earnings (Lopatta, Alexander, Gastone, & Tammen, 2020). This study aims to explain earnings management practices by using a revenue standard. An online questionnaire was distributed by Momentive Inc. (formerly SurveyMonkey Inc.) to accountants working in two different contexts: Jordan as an IFRS country and the USA as a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) country. A convenience sample of 304 questionnaires from both countries was valid for analysis. The findings of ordinary least square (OLS) regression suggest that, during COVID-19, both users used the revenue standard as a tool to manage earnings. In addition, IFRS users were more conservative than GAAP users in terms of existing contracts, while both of them were the same in terms of future contracts. The results should help policymakers and regulators to rethink the flexibility given to managers in dealing with revenue contracts. In addition, they should help managers efficiently manage the revenue contracts.

Urachal disorders are as uncommon as they are mysterious. Mastering the
diagnostic and therapeutic approach of various urachal illnesses, as
well as a better understanding of the embryological development of the
urinary system, is critical for surgeons (urologists, pediatric
surgeons, general surgeons, and general practitioners).

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a disease of
unknown etiology, characterized by refractory frequent focal seizures,
which require prolonged intensive care. We successfully treated a boy
with FIRES with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapy. This
case suggests that an autoimmune mechanism may play a role in the
development of FIRES
Global regularity for the 2D magnetic B\’{e}nard system with fractional partial dissipation
Authors: Liu yujun
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we considered the global regularity for the 2D
incompressible anisotropic magnetic B\’{e}nard system
with fractional partial dissipation. More precisely, we established the
global existence and regularity for the 2D incompressible anisotropic
magnetic B\’{e}nard system with only vertical
hyperdiffusion
$\Lambda_{2}^{2\beta}b_1$ and
horizontal hyperdiffusion
$\Lambda_{1}^{2\beta}b_2$ and
$(-\Delta)^{\alpha}\theta$,
where $\Lambda_{1}$ and
$\Lambda_{2}$ are directional Fourier multiplier
operators with the symbols being
$|\xi_1|$ and
$|\xi_2|$, respectively. We prove
that, for $\beta>1$ and
$0<\alpha<1$, this system always
possesses a unique global-in-time classical solution when the initial
data is sufficiently smooth.

Due to the inadequate attention given to daylighting in lecture rooms in tropical wet and dry climate, this study, using field measurement, evaluates combined daylighting strategies in three lecture rooms labelled LLH, BMS and ANB with distinct bilateral glass louvre windows, window floor ratio, orientation and shading strategies. It determines the difference in illuminance in varied sky conditions, and the relationship between the strategies. Results revealed that under the clear sky condition, combined strategies in LLH and BMS rooms were effective in illuminance performance except during evening hours while the one in ANB was ineffective. Both rooms recorded poor daylight uniformity. Similar performance was obtained under overcast sky but they produced effective daylight uniformity. An effective daylighting was obtained throughout the process in the intermediate sky condition, however, the strategy in ANB room was ineffective in the evening hours. Only ANB room had an effective daylight uniformity in the intermediate sky. The strategy in LLH room had a strong positive relationship with BMS’s. The strategy in LLH had a weak positive correlation with ANB’s, but ANB’s strategy had strong positive correlation with BMS’s. Overall, the study contributes to the performance of combined daylighting strategies in tropical wet and dry climate.
The accuracy of the Broselow tape in weight estimation among pediatric population
Authors: Brestovacki-Svitlica Branislava , Strajnic Zorana
Published: April 2022

Introduction. Accurate body weight estimation in pediatric emergencies is of crucial importance for successful interventions. One of the most commonly used one-dimensional methods for quick estimation of body weight is the Broselow pediatric emergency tape that is based on correlation between body weight and body height. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy and precision of the estimated body weight with the Broselow tape in children. Material and Methods. The study was conducted as an observational cross-sectional study at the Novi Sad HealthCenter. Data on body weight and height were collected according to a pre-prepared protocol from randomly selected medical records of 750 children who visited the Counseling Center in the period of six months and classified into three age categories. Results. The accuracy of the Broselow tape was 46.3% (95%, confidence interval 42.7 - 49.9), i.e. in 46.3% of children the deviation of the estimated values based on the Broselow tape in relation to the reference (measured) body weight did not exceed 10%. The average percentage error was -3.10 ? 17.4% and further analysis revealed a significant difference in the three analyzed groups (F = 49.182, p < 0.001). The average absolute percentage error was 13.7 ? 11.0% and further analysis revealed a significant difference in the three analyzed groups (F = 13.116, p < 0.001). Conclusion. The highest reliability of the Broselow tape was found in the group of children aged 2 to 6 years. Although this method offers several advantages over other methods for assessing body weight in pediatric emergencies, healthcare professionals must be aware of its limitations.
Effect of graphene oxide on micro-tribological and electrochemical properties of electrophoretically deposited HA-TiO2-GO composite coatings
Authors: Ramezannejad Neda , Farnoush Hamidreza
Published: April 2022

In the present study, hydroxyapatite-titania-graphene oxide (HA-TiO2-GO)
nanostructured ternary composites were deposited on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by using
electrophoretic deposition. The well-dispersed stable suspensions of
hydroxyapatite particles with 20wt.% TiO2 and 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 wt.% GO were
prepared and electrophoretic deposition was performed at an optimum voltage
of 20 V for 90 s. A novel linear approach of fracturemechanics was applied
to evaluate the fracture toughness of the coatings from the recorded forces
and depth of penetration by using an incremental-load micro-scratch
technique. The distances and contact pressures indicating crack formation
and coating spallation, as well as the value of fracture toughness were
obtained at the maximum level for the composite coatings with 20 wt.% TiO2
and 2 wt.% GO. The rapid apatite forming ability as well as improved
corrosion resistance of the composite coatings with 20 wt.% titania and 2
wt.% GO were analysed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, SEM and
XRD.
Partnerships in multicultural ECEC settings in Norway: Perspectives from parents and professionals
Authors: Norheim Helga , Moser Thomas , Broekhuizen Martine
Published: April 2022

Partnerships between parents and professionals in early childhood education and care (ECEC) are wellestablished as being important for children’s well-being and learning, and may be especially significantfor children with immigrant backgrounds. The present study uses data from the Inclusive Education and Social Support to Tackle Inequalities in Society (ISOTIS) project to investigate perspectives from parents and professionals regarding their mutual partnership as well as their views on multicultural and multilingual education in culturally and linguistically diverse ECEC settings in Norway. The findings indicate positive partnership views among the parents and professionals, but also suggest the opportunity to create a more shared understanding of the child’s behaviour and potential. The findings further suggest that both parents and professionals value educational practices that promote cultural diversity. However, beliefs regarding multilingual education diverge, indicating that although ECEC may play an important role in children’s multilingual education, there is little agreement on how this role should best be played.
Meininga i mellomromma: Ei innleiing

This introductory chapter is divided into two main sections. In the first section we set out a theoretical background for a transdisciplinary research embracing multiple artforms, in this particular instance with focus on music and literature. Art and artworks are examined not only as finished products, but as elements of living practices in the meeting of composer, writer, music, text, performer and listener or recipient. This leads on to questions of eudaimonia and of what it means to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, with art as an essential ingredient. The central question for the chapter, and for the book as a whole, concerns the paradoxical relation between voice and silence as fundamental contingents for the emergence of meaning. Our hypothesis is that it is precisely in the spaces in-between, in the artistic-aesthetic and interactive tensions between sound and silence, and between subjects and their Others, that meaning emerges. In the second section, we present the different contributions to this collection of texts, before we gather the various strands in a conclusion.
