Human-centred learning analytics: Four challenges in realising the potential
Authors:   Department of Human Centred Computing, Monash University, Martinez-Maldonado Roberto
Published: June 2023

The notion of Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) is gaining traction as educators and learning analytics (LA) researchers recognise the need to align analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with specific educational contexts. This has led an increasing number of researchers to adopt approaches, such as co-design and participatory design, to include educators and students as active participants in the LA design process. However, some experts contend that HCLA must go beyond stakeholder participation by also focusing on the safety, reliability, and trustworthiness of the analytics, and balancing human control and algorithmic automation. While the adoption of human-centred design (HCD) approaches promises considerable benefits, implementing these practices in data-intensive educational systems may not be straightforward. This paper emphasises the critical need to address specific ethical, technical, and methodological challenges tied to educational and data contexts, in order to effectively apply HCD in the creation of LA systems. We delve into four key challenges in this context: i) ensuring representative participation; ii) considering expertise and lived experiences in LA design; iii) balancing stakeholder input with technological innovation; and iv) navigating power dynamics and decision-making processes.

Ongoing digital transformation in the education sector has led to an increased focus on learning analytics (LA). LA collects and uses students’ data to gain insights about students’ learning and to guide interventions and feedback. Although LA holds tremendous promise for enhancing teaching and learning, there are persistent concerns about the privacy and ethical ramifications of collecting and using student data. One potential solution is the use of Synthetic Data Generators (SDGs) which can learn from real data to generate synthetic data that closely resembles real data. This paper examines the performance of existing SDGs with student data, as well as their capabilities for serving LA. A comparative study was conducted by applying different SDGs in Synthetic Data Vault to real-world student data. We report the efficiencies of different generators and the statistical similarities between synthetic and real data. We test how well SDGs imitate the real student data by fitting generated synthetic data into commonly-used LA models. We evaluate the utility of synthetic data by the alignment of LA outputs trained using synthetic data to the ground truth of student learning outcomes recorded in real data, as well as with outputs of LA models trained by real data.

جماليات الشكل التاريخي في رواية واحة الغروب لـ"بهاء طاهر"
Authors: Farrag Mamdouh
Published: June 2023

بهاء طاهر واحد من أهم الروائيين العرب، قدّم للمدونة الروائية الكثير من الأعمال الإبداعية، مالت جميعها إلى التاريخ وقراءة السياقات الثقافية والاجتماعية والسياسية، إلا أنه استخدم أدوات وتقنيات بعيدة عن الشكل التاريخي المتعارف عليه، ولئن كان استعار من أحداث التاريخ ما يتلاءم مع الواقع. فإنه استطاع أن يقدم عبر رؤية وضعت الماضي والحاضر تحت عين واحدة، فيرصد التحولات السياسيّة والاجتماعيّة لواقعه، وقد أكدت كتاباته أنه لم ينفصل عنه، بل جعل أدبه مرآة لذلك، فتجلى الواقع بكل إشكالياته في نصوصه المتعدّدة (القصصيّة والروائيّة وغيرها). لكن أهم شيء وقف عليه هو قضية الصراع العربي - الإسرائيلي، إذ لا تخلو رواية من رواياته من الإشارة إلى الصّراع، وما يتعرض له الشعب الفلسطيني والعربي بصفة عامة من انتهاكات.
تقف هذه الدراسة عند واحدة من أهم أعماله الروائية وهي "واحة الغروب" لتستكشف البنيات الجمالية والشكلية التي استخدمها الكاتب لتمرير رسالته. فالكاتب يعود من جديد للتاريخ ولكن لا يعكسه، وإنما ليقرأ الحاضر ويضعه موضع المساءلة، فالعودة للتاريخ هنا لا لتمجيد التاريخ وصناعه، وإنما لفحصه والوقوف على مواطن الضعف، والتي مع الأسف تكررت في الواقع العياني.
تسعى الدراسة وهي تستعين بالمناهج النقدية الحديثة لتفكيك النص، ورد دواله إلى مدلولاته للبحث عن البنيات المهيمنة في النص. ومن ثم ركزت الدراسة على تحليل الشخصيات وعلاقتها بالأحداث، وكيف رسم المؤلف الشخصيات وفقًا للصراع الذي فرضته البيئة المنتجة لهم والتي تشكلوا بأنساقها.
Idosos institucionalizados e a invisibilidade socioassistencial nas emergências e calamidades
Authors: Viana Aline Silveira , Freitas Denise Cuoghi de Carvalho Veríssimo
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho reflete sobre a produção de dados e gestão de riscos e desastres, na última década, em relação à afetação de pessoas idosas, em especial as residentes em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPIs).  Para isso são utilizados dados secundários, legislações e levantamento de literatura. Dentre os resultados, observa-se que para o funcionamento, estas devem seguir as legislações, as instruções normativas e as resoluções para a garantia de proteção e cuidados aos seus residentes. Em situações de desastres, emergências e calamidades públicas, a situação torna-se complexa com a falta de dados a envolver idosos institucionalizados, a falta de orientações de como ILPIs e serviços da rede de cuidado ao idoso poderiam proceder, de modo a garantir a proteção desse segmento. O artigo mostra que as ações de proteção aos idosos institucionalizados e monitoramento da afetação são prejudicadas, visto que o tema passa desapercebido. Para o enfrentamento dos desafios da invisibilidade da gestão de riscos e desastres envolvendo ILPIs, demanda-se produção de dados, comunicação, embasamento técnico-científico em gerontologia e proteção e defesa civil, assim como instruções normativas para orientar ILPIs e órgãos públicos na prevenção, preparação, resposta e recuperação envolvendo esse segmento populacional.
La Mexicanidad desde el cine mexicano
Authors: Tah Ayala Einer David
Published: June 2023

La invención del cine trajo un nuevo aporte al entretenimiento y ocio en la historia del mundo. Para el caso de México, la llegada del cine, y la generación de una industria alrededor de este, proporcionó una herramienta muy útil para diferentes elementos de la vida pública, interior y exterior del país, al servir como formador de identidad. En ese sentido, el siguiente escrito tiene como objetivo analizar la identidad mexicana a través de la producción cinematográfica nacional. El trabajo analiza los periodos gubernamentales, desde la llegada del cinematógrafo a México hasta la actualidad. El argumento del trabajo es que la influencia de las prioridades de cada periodo gubernamental respecto al cine, el mercado interno y la aparición y desaparición de los aparatos de financiamiento nacionales marcaron sus temáticas influyendo en dos vías: la primera, en la formación de una identidad nacional y, la segunda, la exposición de esa identidad hacia el exterior, pasando de un periodo de exaltación nacional y amplia exhibición –en la época de oro–; descenso en la cantidad y calidad de producciones con una formación de cine de arte, con influencia europea –décadas de 1970 y 1980, después del fin de los organismo de financiamiento–; hasta llegar a la muestra fílmica de la realidad local a través de un cine artístico, en coproducción, tanto con otros países como con la iniciativa privada –década de 1990 hasta la actualidad–.

Mineral deposits have been studied with in the prospective areas of Middle Eocene paleo valley and the irdigital models have been constructed, in particular maps: the surface relief and the solesof the productive strata; capacity deposit sofmineral sand the containing mineral deposit soflitho facies.Eocene river paleovalleys central part of the Ukrainian shield survived to this day in the form of winding lanes. The river valleys were not only ways of transporting the material to the board on its slopes and adjacent structures (Dnieper-Donets depression and PreBlacksea depression), but also the seat of various minerals, such as ilmenite, gold, secondary kaolin, refractory clay, brown coal. The evolution of river paleovalleys had a decisive influence on the configuration and placement of mineral deposits.
CURRENT STATE OF COAL MINING ENTERPRISES AND THEIR PROSPECTS
Authors: Vergelska N.V.
Published: June 2023

Ukraine has 10% of proven coal reserves in Europe and 3% of the world. Delays in the reform of the coal industry are reducing the profitability of coal mining companies. Despite this, experts warn against ill-considered closure of coal mines.

Generalization and analysis of the material on the current state and closure of Donbass mines, preliminary own research and field work in Donetsk-Makeyevka and Krasnoarmeysk coal districts were carried out.

The proposed recommendations for the transformation of individual coal mining companies should start now, using grants from European countries. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account scientifically sound climatic, geological, environmental and economic factors to determine the directions of transformation of each individual mine, taking into account their features.

It is advisable not to close mines with reserves, but to finance them to become profitable. Coal mining companies located within the city should be converted into parks, science and technology or technology parks, wind and solar EC. It is advisable to start the transformation process before the closure of the coal mining company, which will save jobs and create new ones.
MONITORING THE COAL WASTE HEAPS OF MINES OF DONETS BASIN
Authors: Vergelska N.V. , Skopychenko E.I.
Published: June 2023

In recent years, much attention has been paid not only to the rational extraction of minerals, but also to the ecology of coal-mining regions. Monitoring of man-made landscapes of coal mining enterprises is a topical study from the standpoint of environmental impact of coal mine heaps.

 The impact of coal mining on the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and climate change has become even more relevant with global research on its impact on climate change. All coal basins are characterized by the presence of waste heaps and their significant impact on the soil: the rise of groundwater and the migration of chemical compounds from waste heaps into the soil, the expansion of waste heaps by area. Changes of heaps under the influence of exogenous factors are established. Peculiarities of gas distribution and chemical composition of waste heaps are determined.

 It is expedient to carry out full reclamation on the territory of closed mines, to improve the ecological condition of technogenic-loaded (mining) regions and to give preference to complex ecological-industrial-tourist projects.
MINING AND GEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF FORECASTING DYNAMIC PHENOMENA IN COAL MINES
Authors: Vergelska N.V. , Pуmonenko L.І. , Skopychenko I.M.
Published: June 2023

The issues of forecasting and preventing dynamic phenomena in coal mines, despite decades of research, remain insufficiently studied. The nature of dynamic phenomena is far from being known, and as the depth of mining of coal seams increases, the phenomena become more and more formidable and, as a rule, unpredictable.Most of the dynamic phenomena are related to the stress state of the massif and the peculiarity of its gas saturation, which is partly explained by the state of sedimentary rocks. In sedimentary rocks or crystalline fractured, the number of parameters characterizing the stress state of rocks at depth increases.Studying the dynamic processes of different intensity in the coal rock massifs of the Donets Basin, it was found that the main factors that provoke them should include anomalously high formation pressures, stress state and gas content of the massif.

Evaluasi Kinerja Perangkat Desa Dalam Pengelolaan Website Desa (Studi Evaluasi Kinerja Perangkat Desa Banguntapan Kecamatan Banguntapan Kabupaten Bantul Dalam Pengelolaan Website Desa)
Authors: Veronika Lidia
Published: June 2023

The enactment of Law Number 6 of 2014 concering Villages, became the starting point for openness in the village, especially regarding village information. Villages are required to have a Village Information System or known as SID. This journal is written to look at several things. First, the management of the Banguntapan Village website. Second, the management of the Banguntapan Village website is not optimal. Third, the efforts made by the village government in improving the performance of village officials in managing the Banguntapan Village website. The research method used is qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study first show that this condition is due to the lack of human resources owned by the Banguntapan Village Government, which resulted in the process of forming the village website management team not being able to carry out. Second, the ability of the Banguntapan Villages apparatus in operating computer is still weak. The limited capabilities possessed by the Banguntapan Village apparatus result in the website management process. In addition to human resources another reason is the absence of supporting facilities such as special rooms, computers or laptops, as well as budgets for managing village website. Regarding human resources, the village government’s efforts are to provide technical guidance and training related to website management. In terms of supporting the management of village websites, the efforts made by the Banguntapan Village Government are only limited to preparing plans that will be included in the village budget.

Published: June 2023

My Pertamina is a form of Pertamina service in the form of a mobile-based application to make it easier for people to fill up fuel without using cash. The My Pertamina application began to be implemented by the Government since July 1, 2022, but its users are still a little visible in the fact that there are still few queues of people at the non-cash section of the post office and in reverse where people are still happy to stand in long queues with cash or without using the My Pertamina application. Community acceptance of the My Pertamina application is one of the factors that supports the continued use of the application. To find out the community's acceptance of the My Pertamina application, this research uses the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) method, the TAM method consists of three perceptions, namely (i) perception of user convenience (PP), (ii) perception of usefulness (PK), and (iii) technology acceptance (PT). The data collection method uses a quantitative method by using a questionnaire as a tool to collect data on 50 users of the My Pertamina application in all SPBUs in Kota Kayuagung. The validity test shows that every question from the questionnaire is declared valid, the reliability test shows that the questionnaire is consistent and worthy of use, the user convenience perception variable has an average value of 4.48, the usefulness perception variable has an average value of 4.52, and the technology acceptance variable has a value an average of 4.49, this shows that respondents who have used the My Pertamina application have the perception of having received technology from using the My Per-tamina application.

CFD analysis of a check valve from SAFRAN Helicopter Engines using a Lattice-Boltzmann solution
Authors:   Dassault Systemes, Abiza Zaki , Holman David ,   Dassault Systemes, Taieb David , Robin Marine ,   SAFRAN Helicopter Engines
Published: June 2023

Unsteady Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers with accurate turbulence modelling are increasingly required to solve real industrial problematics where most applications include complex moving parts, highly turbulent flows and transient phenomena. Most of these industrial requirements are out of reach for the traditional CFD solutions based on steady state or unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence approaches and with limited capabilities to deal with moving parts and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). XFlow is the innovative CFD software developed by Next Limit Dynamics to deal with this increasing demand on new industrial applications. XFlow features a particle-based discretization approach that uses a state-of-the-art Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) to discretize the continuous Boltzmann equation, a time evolution equation for statistical probability distribution functions that describe accurately the behavior of a fluid. This proprietary particle-based kinetic solver implements at collision operator a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model fully coupled with a generalized law of the wall (WMLES) in order to solve the transient turbulent effects usually observed on industrial applications. The aim of the work presented in this paper is to demonstrate the capability of the XFlow approach to predict costly instability issues of the Check Valves (CV) integrated inside the fuel circuit in helicopter engines. The results of XFlow will be compared to the experimental measurements provided by SAFRAN Helicopter Engines on one of their CV designs during real working conditions. The CV dynamics will be modelled in XFlow as a rigid body with one degree of freedom along the axis aligned with the flow direction. A spring effort is modelled with a pre-load force and a stiffness. With these two parameters, XFlow computes dynamically the valve position according to the dynamic movement equation based on the hydraulic and spring forces applied on. As preliminary step, different fixed flow-rate boundary conditions will be applied at the inlet of the CV in order to validate the global valve characteristics with the incompressible solver. The CV oscillations are studied considering acoustics with an additional bulk viscosity term inside the flow equations. An increasing inlet volumetric flow law is applied to compute the dynamic response of the valve and to predict the frequency and the flow-rate range at which instabilities appear. This simulation shows a good agreement; the experimental instability range is well predicted as the eigen frequency.

Izobraževalna pot študentov medicine je dolgotrajna in zahtevna. Usklajevanje študijskih obveznosti, obštudijskih dejavnosti in skrbi za zdravje je lahko za mlade velik izziv, za katerega so posamezniki različno dobro opremljeni. Naš narativni pregledni članek povzema doslej znane raziskave o vplivu študija medicine na dejavnike življenjskega sloga in determinante zdravja ter s tem na telesno in duševno zdravje posameznika. Raziskave glede vpliva teh dejavnikov smo pridobili prek iskalnih nizov s ključnimi besedami. Ugotovili smo, da nekakovostna, nezadostna in neredna prehrana v kombinaciji s pomanjkanjem telesne dejavnosti in sedečim slogom življenja vpliva na neželene spremembe telesne sestave ter poveča tveganje za razvoj presnovnih motenj ter akutnih in kroničnih zdravstvenih težav. Zdravstvene težave dodatno poglablja tudi pomanjkanje spanja in kronični stres zaradi zahtev študija, kar lahko vodi tudi v razvoj duševnih motenj. Vse to ne prispeva le k zmanjšanju študijskega uspeha študentov, temveč tudi do zdravstvenih težav številnih mladih, ki se že na začetku svoje zahtevne kariere soočajo z njimi. V Sloveniji zaenkrat nimamo sistematičnih raziskav, ki bi omogočale oceno vpliva dejavnikov življenjskega sloga in kroničnega stresa na zdravje slovenskih študentov medicine.

Dropout Intentions in Higher Education: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Véliz Palomino José Carlos , Ortega Ana Maria
Published: June 2023

College dropout proves to be a critical problem in undergraduate programs that directly affects students and the related community, due to direct economic losses and significant social costs. This article addresses a systematic review of the literature on predictors of student dropout intention in higher education, focusing on scientific production in Q1 and Q2 journals from 2018 to 2023, performing a bibliometric review and analyzing the available empirical and theoretical data on the phenomenon of college dropout intention and its affecting factors. The bibliometric results and those related to predictors of dropout intention introduced in previous studies are presented. The largest number of researchers studying this phenomenon are from Germany, however, the United Kingdom is the country with the largest number of publications. Previous research can be grouped into two categories: studies analyzing psychological factors of dropout intention and those related to academic and social integration.
Principles of developing a limited-queue mass service system on the .NET platform
Authors: Antonova Polina Valerevna
Published: June 2023

The paper is the result of the thorough research aimed at studying the principles of creation, modeling and practical use of queue-limited mass service systems (MSS) based on the .NET technology platform and implemented using the C# programming language. In the course of the paper, special attention is paid to both single-channel and multi-channel systems. In the introductory part of the article the fundamental concepts of the theory of mass service are considered. The basic characteristics of systems, such as fixed queue length systems, single-channel and multi-channel systems with probability of service failure, systems with unlimited and limited wait times, closed systems, and multi-channel systems with channel-to-channel interaction, are discussed. Detailed examples of C# code are presented to illustrate the class structures used to model both single-channel and multi-channel MSS. Specific scenarios for the use of the presented structures within the framework of MSS modeling are considered. The paper highlights the practical application of mass service systems in solving real-world problems. Using examples from banking and traffic management in telecommunications, it is demonstrated how MSS can contribute to optimizing waiting times and efficient resource management. Prospects for further research in the field of mass service systems are suggested. Given the importance of MSS in various industries such as banking, telecommunications, logistics and many others, the high relevance of the topic is due to the need to find new approaches and methods to improve the efficiency and optimization of these systems. In general, the article is a valuable research material for specialists involved in modeling and practical application of mass service systems.
Adolescent length growth spurts in bonobos and other primates: Mind the scale
Authors: Berghänel Andreas , Stevens Jeroen M.G. , Hohmann Gottfried , Deschner Tobias , Behringer Verena
Published: June 2023

Adolescent growth spurts (GS) in body length seem to be absent in non-human primates and are considered a distinct human trait. However, this distinction between present and absent length-GSs may reflect a mathematical artefact that makes it arbitrary. We first outline how scaling issues and inappropriate comparisons between length (linear) and weight (volume) growth rates result in misleading interpretations like the absence of length-GSs in non-human primates despite pronounced weight-GSs, or temporal delays between length- and weight-GSs. We then apply a scale-corrected approach to a comprehensive dataset on 258 zoo-housed bonobos that includes weight and length growth as well as several physiological markers related to growth and adolescence. We found pronounced GSs in body weight and length in both sexes. Weight and length growth trajectories corresponded with each other and with patterns of testosterone and IGFBP-3 levels, resembling adolescent GSs in humans. We further re-interpreted published data of non-human primates, which showed that aligned GSs in weight and length exist not only in bonobos. Altogether, our results emphasize the importance of considering scaling laws when interpreting growth curves in general, and further show that pronounced, human-like adolescent length-GSs exist in bonobos and probably also many other non-human primates.

The hippocampus is an archicortical structure, consisting of subfields with unique circuits. Understanding its microstructure, as proxied by these subfields, can improve our mechanistic understanding of learning and memory and has clinical potential for several neurological disorders. One prominent issue is how to parcellate, register, or retrieve homologous points between two hippocampi with grossly different morphologies. Here, we present a surface-based registration method that solves this issue in a contrast-agnostic, topology-preserving manner. Specifically, the entire hippocampus is first analytically unfolded, and then samples are registered in 2D unfolded space based on thickness, curvature, and gyrification. We demonstrate this method in seven 3D histology samples and show superior alignment with respect to subfields using this method over more conventional registration approaches.Hippocampal subfields contain microcircuits that are critical for memory and vulnerable to neurological disease.Hippocampi have variable folding patterns between individuals, making them hard to register or parcellate.We present a surface-based hippocampal registration method that is analogous to neocortical inflation to a sphere and registration.Testing in seven detailed 3D histology samples revealed successful registration with respect to hippocampal subfields, and outperformed more conventional methods.This method provides groundwork for detailed multimodal hippocampal mapping across subjects and datasets in the future.The methodological advancements described here are made easily accessible in the latest version of open source software HippUnfold

Published: June 2023

This file is a facsimile of an obituary for Erik Johan Burman, published in the Acta (Proceedings) of the Uppsala-based Societas Regia Literaria et Scientiarum (Royal Society of Learning and Sciences, or Kungl. Vetenskaps-Societeten i Uppsala) for the year 1730.
Introduction
Authors: Aspaas Per Pippin
Published: June 2023

The seventeenth volume in the series presents articles on the aurora borealis published in the journal of the Swedish Societas Regia Literaria et Scientiarum (now Kungl. Vetenskaps-Societeten i Uppsala) covering the years 1740 to 1750. In this period, the Acta of the society were edited by the natural historian Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné), who showed less interest in the aurora than his predecessors. One article on the aurora by Anders Celsius and another by his assistant Olof Peter Hiorter were however published. They are presented here along with the obituaries for three central auroral researchers from early eighteenth-century Sweden – Erik Johan Burman, Conrad Quensel and Celsius. In the Introduction, neo-Latinist and historian of science Per Pippin Aspaas summarizes these texts and provides a short history of the society in the period.
Comparative analysis of machine learning approaches for predicting respiratory virus infection and symptom severity
Authors: Işık Yunus Emre , Aydın Zafer
Published: June 2023

Respiratory diseases are among the major health problems causing a burden on hospitals. Diagnosis of infection and rapid prediction of severity without time-consuming clinical tests could be beneficial in preventing the spread and progression of the disease, especially in countries where health systems remain incapable. Personalized medicine studies involving statistics and computer technologies could help to address this need. In addition to individual studies, competitions are also held such as Dialogue for Reverse Engineering Assessment and Methods (DREAM) challenge which is a community-driven organization with a mission to research biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine. One of these competitions was the Respiratory Viral DREAM Challenge, which aimed to develop early predictive biomarkers for respiratory virus infections. These efforts are promising, however, the prediction performance of the computational methods developed for detecting respiratory diseases still has room for improvement. In this study, we focused on improving the performance of predicting the infection and symptom severity of individuals infected with various respiratory viruses using gene expression data collected before and after exposure. The publicly available gene expression dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus, named GSE73072, containing samples exposed to four respiratory viruses (H1N1, H3N2, human rhinovirus (HRV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) was used as input data. Various preprocessing methods and machine learning algorithms were implemented and compared to achieve the best prediction performance. The experimental results showed that the proposed approaches obtained a prediction performance of 0.9746 area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) for infection (i.e., shedding) prediction (SC-1), 0.9182 AUPRC for symptom class prediction (SC-2), and 0.6733 Pearson correlation for symptom score prediction (SC-3) by outperforming the best leaderboard scores of Respiratory Viral DREAM Challenge (a 4.48% improvement for SC-1, a 13.68% improvement for SC-2, and a 13.98% improvement for SC-3). Additionally, over-representation analysis (ORA), which is a statistical method for objectively determining whether certain genes are more prevalent in pre-defined sets such as pathways, was applied using the most significant genes selected by feature selection methods. The results show that pathways associated with the ‘adaptive immune system’ and ‘immune disease’ are strongly linked to pre-infection and symptom development. These findings contribute to our knowledge about predicting respiratory infections and are expected to facilitate the development of future studies that concentrate on predicting not only infections but also the associated symptoms.
Análisis de escenarios de accesibilidad espacio-temporal al cuidado del niño sano en Montevideo
Authors: Hernández Diego , Rossel Cecilia
Published: June 2023

El acceso es una de las dimensiones centrales para explicar los resultados en materia de tratamiento y prevención de enfermedades. Este artículo explora la accesibilidad espacio-temporal a la atención pediátrica de salud en la ciudad de Montevideo. Trabaja con distintos escenarios generados a partir de parámetros básicos de accesibilidad: modo de transporte, actividades fijas que realizan los hogares y los requisitos de aseguramiento en un prestador para poder atenderse en una clínica determinada. Para hacerlo, utiliza una medida novedosa que permite considerar la variabilidad especial, temporal e individual tanto en la oferta como en la demanda de los servicios. Los resultados del artículo sugieren que el modo de transporte, las actividades fijas de las familias y las estructuras de aseguramiento impactan en los niveles de accesibilidad. Estos resultados dan cuenta de la necesidad de un enfoque complejo para comprender el acceso, así como para alimentar la discusión de políticas públicas.

Clinical Profile of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Children less than 18 years age, in a Tertiary Care Centre, Bhilai, Chhatisgarh, India: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Gomase Shantanu Vijay , Biswal PK
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a very common paediatric endocrine disorder and is increasing each year, particularly in younger children. The T1DM presents as Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) in a significant number of patients. Race, ethnicity, age, and parent education plays an important role in the glycaemic control of the disease. Conflicting data are available about the age of onset, gender predominance, family history, and growth in various international and national studies. Aim: To study the clinical presentation of T1DM in children aged less than 18 years. Materials and Methods: The observational cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2011 to March 2013 at Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital and Research Centre, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India. Total 46 patients with T1DM, aged less than 18 years were included in the study. Socio-demographic data, clinical presentation, age, insulin dose, anthropometry, and laboratory investigations were collected using semi-structured performa. Statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0. Result: Total 46 patients with T1DM attended the hospital with 24 (52.8%) boys and 22 (47.2%) girls. A 28 (60.8%) of patients presented with DKA. 16 (34.8%) of patients were less than 5 years of age. The youngest patient was of 2.5 years of age. In the present study, stunting was noted in 12 (26.08%) patients. Polyuria (85%) was the most common presenting complaint in newly diagnosed diabetes patients and pain in the abdomen (50%), breathlessness (46.8%) were the most common presenting complaint in established diabetics. Patients with poor control (HbA1c- >8.5%) had significantly higher mean age (12.3±4.01) than the group with good control (HbA1c< 8.5%) has mean age (8.5±3.54 years). Availability of medical facilities, higher socio-economic status, and parents’ education was found to be significantly associated with good glycaemic control. Conclusion: Polyuria was the most common symptom in newly diagnosed diabetics. Higher age was a significant risk factor for poor control of diabetes. DKA may present with respiratory distress in a significant number of patients.
Clinical Profile, Management and Outcome in Paediatric Patients with Tetanus: A Case Series
Authors: Patel Arpita Manish , Pandya Dhruti Manish , Rathod Kamleshkumar G , Gadhavi Ketan D , Muliya Bharat
Published: June 2023

Tetanus is an acute infectious disease, caused by spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The spores are found everywhere in the environment, particularly in soil, ash, intestinal tracts/faeces of animals and humans, on the surfaces of skin and rusty tools like nails, needles, barbed wires, etc. Being very resistant to heat and most antiseptics, the spores can survive for years. Anyone can get tetanus, but the disease is particularly common and serious in new born babies and pregnant women, who have not been sufficiently immunised with Tetanus Toxoid (TT) containing vaccines. The disease remains an important public health problem in many parts of the world, but especially in low income countries or districts, where immunisation coverage is low and unclean birth practices are common. There are no particular diagnostic tests for tetanus, the diagnosis is made clinically. Hence, early identification of cases of tetanus becomes important for early intervention. Herein, the authors reported four cases (1 male and 3 females) of tetanus, with varied clinical manifestations, management and outcome. The patients were diagnosed with severe generalised tetanus, otogenic tetanus, mild generalised tetanus and severe generalised tetanus respectively. The patients were treated with inj. diazepam, inj. tetanus toxoid, inj. methocarbamol. Two of them recovered completely and two could not be revived.
