Iron intake during pregnancy reduces low birth weight: A propensity score analysis
Authors: Saptarini Ika , Suparmi Suparmi , Rizkianti Anissa
Published: June 2023

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a significant public health problem. As nutritional problems, including anaemia, can cause LBW, iron supplementation is needed during pregnancy.
Objectives: To assess the impact of iron supplementation during pregnancy on birth weight in Indonesia using data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic Health Survey (IDHS).
Method: Birth weight was categorized into two groups, LBW (<2500g) and normal birth weight (2500g or more). Iron supplementation was constructed into two groups, mothers who did not take or whose intake was less than 90 tablets during pregnancy and mothers who took ≥90 tablets during pregnancy. A sample of 10,518 children born within five years was matched using propensity scores. We used binary logistic regression and adjusted for 12 possible confounders after matching the data. Then, we performed logistic regression to assess the relationship between iron intake during pregnancy and birth weight. We built multistage multivariate logistic regression models using the backward elimination technique. We adjusted the model with some confounding factors, including socioeconomic and community-level factors, maternal and child characteristics, and maternal and child health services. 
Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, this study found that iron supplementation during pregnancy significantly reduced LBW (AOR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.88).
Conclusions: This study found that iron supplementation during pregnancy significantly reduced LBW

Physical growth and intellectual function of children with congenital hypothyroidism: An observational study
Authors: John Tissa , Anirudhan Deepa
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an important preventable cause of mental retardation.
Objectives: To assess growth parameters and the developmental outcome of children with permanent CH on follow up.
Method: This was a hospital-based observational study done in the paediatric endocrinology clinic of a tertiary care hospital in South India. The study population included all children with permanent CH aged 5-18 years attending the clinic from March 2017 to March 2018. Weight, height and head circumference of children were measured and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Ultrasonography (USG) of the thyroid was done for all patients and structural abnormalities of the thyroid (aplasia, hypoplasia or ectopic gland) were taken as dysgenesis. If USG had normal thyroid it was taken as dyshormonogenesis. Intelligence quotient (IQ) assessment was done by a clinical psychologist.
Results: There were 35 children with CH enrolled in the study. Of this, 17 (49%) were diagnosed on or before 6 months of age and 18 (51%) after 6 months of age; 24 (69%) had thyroid dysgenesis and 11 (31%) had dyshormonogenesis; 4 had severe stunting and 5 were obese. Among the 17 children diagnosed on or before 6 months of age, 12 (70.6%) had normal intelligence and 5 (29.4%) had IQ <85 whereas among the 18 children diagnosed after 6 months of age 6 (33%) had normal intelligence and 12 (66%) had IQ <85, which was statistically significant (p=0.028). There were no significant differences between early and late diagnosis groups in other parameters like developmental delay, stunting and BMI. Among 24 children with dysgenesis of thyroid gland, 14 (58%) had IQ <85 whereas among 11 children with dyshormonogenesis, 3 (37.5%) had IQ <85. This was not statistically significant (p=0.08).
Conclusions: In this study, a statistically significantly larger proportion of children diagnosed on or before 6 months of age had normal intelligence compared to children diagnosed after 6 months of age. There were no significant differences between early and late diagnosis groups in other parameters like developmental delay, stunting and BMI.

Authors: Musa Shuaibu , Ramatu Aliyu-azubair , Haliru Lawal , Abigail Dodo , Gumbi Sumayyah
Published: June 2023

Background: Telemedicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved and remote areas. It can help bridge the gap in access to care by using telecommunication technology to connect patients with healthcare providers. However, establishing a telemedicine centre is a complex process, particularly in lowresource settings.
Objective: To describe the experience of and challenges faced in establishing a telemedicine centre in the Paediatric Department of Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital (BDTH) in Kaduna, Nigeria.
Method: The process of setting up the telemedicine centre and the challenges faced by the hospital are described.
Results: The hospital faced several challenges, including a lack of infrastructure, dearth of resources and a lack of trained personnel. Despite these challenges, the hospital was able to establish a telemedicine centre and begin providing services to patients. The telemedicine centre had a positive impact on patient care by increasing access to care for those in remote areas or to those not able to travel to the hospital. It also allowed the hospital to expand its reach and utilize its resources more efficiently.
Conclusions: The establishment of a telemedicine centre at the Paediatric Department of BDTH, Kaduna, Nigeria, has had a significant impact on patient care, particularly for children who may not have had access to specialist care otherwise. Lack of infrastructure, dearth of resources and a lack of trained personnel were the main challenges in the establishment of the telemedicine centre.

The optimal management of pain after RARP is far from being fully elucidated and many factors have to be evaluated to choose the best analgesic approach. [...]
Modified H-plasty in large basal cell carcinoma defect reconstruction on the forehead: a case report
Authors: Novita Novita , Djawad Khairuddin
Published: June 2023

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy worldwide. Surgical removal is considered the gold standard treatment. However, large defects following excisional surgery can pose a significant challenge for reconstruction, especially in cases where primary closure is not possible. In which, the use of skin flaps may be utilized. Most traditional skin flaps are limited by design to take advantage of only one region of relative skin excess. This paper reports a case of a large forehead defect following BCC excision which was successfully reconstructed by a modified H-plasty involving a U-plasty and rotation-advancement flap. Maintenance of the aesthetics without impaired function is the aim of closure defect with combined flaps.

Published: June 2023

This paper attempts to provide an evaluation of the selection and assessment of
exchange rate options for the economy of Saudi Arabia. It examines the impact of changes in
oil and petroleum prices, the results specify that adjustment in foreign savings, supporting
fixed real exchange rate in the context of changes in oil world prices, quite effectively can
isolate the domestic economy from international price fluctuations. If the economy is forced
to adjust to the fall in world prices without offsetting changes in foreign savings, the resulting
loss of export earnings and associated depreciation have major impacts on aggregate
absorption and the structure of production.

Toward the Understanding of Religious Orientation and Market
Mavenism: Establishing a Correlation Relationship
Authors: Hesham Fazel Hesham Fazel
Published: June 2023

This study argues that religious orientation may have a firm association with
market mavenism. A positive association between religious orientation (Intrinsic & Extrinsic)
and a market maven was hypothesized. A revision religious Scale of the Worldwide- I-E
(Gorsuch & McPherson, 1989) was used to measure the variables of religiosity, and Feick
and Price’s (1987) 6-item scale was used to measure the extent of market mavenism. The
Pearson product moment coefficient of correlation was calculated to assess the relationship
between religiosity and being a market maven. The results revealed a significant positive
relationship between intrinsic religious orientation and being a market maven. Results
attested that there is a significant relationship between extrinsic religious orientation with
positive direction (social and personal) and being a market maven. The main contribution of
this study is that, to the best of the writer's understanding, this is the first study to explore the
relationship between religiosity and market maven.
La visée pathémique dans le genre de la critique de cinéma comme stratégie persuasive
Authors: Topa-Bryniarska Dominika
Published: June 2023

The pathotic dimension in the film review genre as a persuasive strategy The paper investigates the relatively little-examined journalistic film review genre from discursive, pragmatic and rhetorical perspectives. To illustrate the presented framework for genre analysis, we have selected 32 French and francophone journalistic reviews of two different film genres: a comedy (from 2017) and a drama (from 2019). The persuasive strategies of the pathotic dimension in the film review we focus on leverage two of the Aristotelian modes of persuasion (ethos and pathos) in order to instill particular views and concepts. Our study centres around those persuasive strategies that draw on the discursive construction of the reviewer’s ethos and pathos in the film review based on the concept of emotive argumentation.
Actos directivos en la comedia burguesa de costumbres del siglo XVIII: ¿hacia patrones lingüísticos y de uso modernos? II. Formulaciones indirectas
Authors: Recuero Silvia Iglesias
Published: June 2023

Directive speech acts in the 18th century comedy of manners: Toward modern patterns and conditions of use? II. Indirect formulations This paper is the second part of the study developed in Iglesias (2022). It consists of a pragmalinguistic analysis of indirect formulations of the directive speech acts from five plays of the so-called bourgeois comedy of customs introduced in Spain by Enlightenment authors in the second half of the 18th century. The different linguistic expressions of these acts and their conditions of use are studied in some detail. The analysis shows that, despite the fact that quantitative data could invite us to think of a pragmalinguistic continuity respect to the 16th and 17th centuries, we can find in these texts the first manifestations of form and meaning strategies belonging to non-impositive negative politeness (Jucker 2012, 2020), and a distribution of linguistic and usage directive patterns approaching to nowadays usage.
Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)
Authors: Boichuk Nataliia
Published: June 2023

This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can expect positive effects in the form of obtaining qualified human capital for the local labour market and the improvement of the demographic situation, provided that foreign students remain in the country and the family there.
(Over)Staying (Dis)Gracefully: Dissecting Pastoral transitions in AOG BTG church in Zimbabwe
Authors: Tagwirei Kimion
Published: June 2023

Transfers and retirement of pastors positively and negatively affect their personal, family and congregational spiritual, social and economic lives. In the Zimbabwean context of political and economic volatility, pastoral transitions have been a formidable ‘elephant’ in most classical Pentecostal denominations for a number of decades. Whenever anybody triggers its discussion, some parishioners hesitantly disengage in fear of provoking and hurting each other. Against her procedural stipulation that pastoral deployments should be reviewed annually, to effect exchange of ministerial gifts and balanced edification of the Church, leaders predominantly transfer junior pastors, while most seniors usually object and only move in circumstances beyond their powers,
such as when ill or dead. Consequently, juniors remain gracefully while seniors overstay
disgracefully. A lot has been published on leadership successions, but attention on pastoral shifts remain passive in Zimbabwe. Thus, this paper unravels some problems and panaceas of pastoral transfers and retirement. Using qualitative grounded theory and participative observations, it discerned that contradictory theological conceptualizations, unclear constitutional and procedural provisions, policy gaps, economic instability, personal and family disruptions, insecurities and
other factors problematize pastoral transitions. Conclusively, concerted efforts should be redoubled to rebuild the governance and economy of the church to mitigate disruptions, sustain, secure and create a conducive environment for smooth pastoral reshufflings. This paper addresses problematic pastoral transitions, interfaces African ecclesiology and leadership with pastoral theology from the Zimbabwean context.

Review on Hematinic Formulations Used in Anaemia Deficiency Disorders
Authors: Bodke Vishal , Badekar Ruchita , Dhoble Pavankumar , Yadav Swati , Birajdar Prajval , Dagle Mangesh
Published: June 2023

Whenever the body has inadequate amounts of healthy red blood cells that supply oxygen to the body's organs, anaemia develops. Anaemia patients experience coldness, fatigue, and weakness. Iron deficiency anaemia is the most prevalent kind of anaemia. Red blood cells use a protein called haemoglobin, which iron creates, to deliver oxygen. Iron can be added to food to ease it. Anaemia brought on by inflammations brought on by infections, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and chronic kidney diseases is the second most common type of anaemia. In this type of anaemia, the blood iron level is low despite the body having a normal or even increasing quantity of iron stored in body tissues. One of the most common dangerous diseases, especially in women, pregnant women, children, and adults, is anaemia deficiency. According to the World Health Organisation (2007), anaemia affects 30% to 50% of children and other groups as a result of iron deficiency. Out of the worldwide 1.6 billion anaemic populations, several hundred million suffer from iron deficiency anaemia. Therefore, iron deficiency is the main contributing factor to anaemia worldwide. Iron deficiency anaemia affects a part of the two billion persons who are iron nutritionally deficient globally. This hematinic medication, such as (Dexorange, Orofer XT and Feronia XT) is a form of iron supplement used for the treatment or prevention of low iron levels in the blood, which can occur due to anaemia or pregnancy. For the body to create red blood cells and sustain its health, iron is a crucial mineral.

Authors: Gutiérrez Cuéllar Paola Carmina
Published: June 2023

La finalidad de este capítulo es explorar las percepciones de las personas mayores al respecto de los efectos que tiene en su salud física y mental el hecho de vivir en entornos de intensa contaminación ambiental. Teniendo en cuenta que México y el mundo enfrentan una crisis medioambiental que conlleva muchas variables y múltiples efectos, de la que todos somos corresponsables, la propuesta del documento es recoger evidencia empírica y explorar la cuestión de: ¿Cómo perciben (y si lo hacen o no) las personas mayores que han vivido en entornos contaminados por un largo periodo de tiempo los efectos en su salud? Con esto en mente, se realiza una contextualización de la contaminación ambiental y el impacto en la salud, seguida de una revisión teórica de las percepciones, la vejez y los entornos. En segundo lugar, se presenta evidencia de las percepciones de las personas mayores respecto de su salud y las relaciones con el entorno, recabada a partir de la revisión bibliográfica y de entrevistas realizadas en la frontera norte de México. Finalmente, se ofrecen reflexiones finales al respecto de las percepciones difuminadas por el poco conocimiento de la población de las influencias de los contaminantes del aire en las enfermedades respiratorios, y por la poca gravedad que se atribuye a este tipo de enfermedades.

ملخص

وتعتبر ضريبة القيمة المضافة حديثة، إذ تعد مصدراً أساسياً للموارد الحكومية، حيث تعتمد اقتصاديات الدول المتطورة عليها في أوربا واقتصاديات دول أمريكا اللاتينية بشكل كبير، وهي بذلك تعد عنصراً محورياً من عناصر النظام الضريبي لكل من الاقتصاد النامي والمتحول، حيث تتجه الأساليب الحديثة في التشريعات الضريبية نحو نقل عبء الضريبية من قطاعات انتاج الثروة لتضعه في قطاعات استعمالها، أي تخفيض الضرائب الواقعة على الدخل إلى زيادتها في الإنفاق. تطبق الضريبة على معظم المعاملات التي تتم على السلع والخدمات عدا الاستثناءات التي تقرها الهيئة الاتحادية للضرائب، ويتحمل عبئها المستهلك، ولذلك يمكن توقع ارتفاع كلفة المعيشة بشكل طفيف، ويختلف ذلك باختلاف نمط حياة الأفراد، وسلوكهم الإنفاقي. ولن تكون كل الشركات ملزمة بالتسجيل من أجل الضريبة، وإنما فقط تلك التي تزيد إيراداتها على الحد الأدنى للإيرادات. وقدمت الدراسة التوصيات الآتية: إعداد موارد بشرية كافية من أجل القيام بأعباء تطبيق ضريبة القيمة المضافة وحساباتها. وافتتاح معاهد محاسبة وأقسام جامعية تتعلق بأصول المحاسبة والضريبة لتوطين هذه المهن. وفتح الهيئة الاتحادية مكاتب لها أو فروع دائمة في أماكن حكومية مثل الدوائر الاقتصادية المحلية المعروفة من قبل التجار لتقديم خدماتها الاستشارية بشكل مباشر وشخصي، بما يدعم المشاريع الصغيرة ويجنبها الغرامة.

Abstract

The value-added tax is considered modern, as it is a major source of government resources, as the economies of developed countries in Europe and the economies of Latin American countries depend heavily on it, and thus it is a pivotal element of the tax system for both developing and transforming economies, where modern methods in tax legislation tend to Towards transferring the tax burden from the sectors of wealth production to place it in the sectors of their use, i.e. reducing taxes on income to increasing spending. The tax is applied to most transactions made on goods and services, except for the exceptions approved by the Federal Tax Authority, and the burden is borne by the consumer. Therefore, a slight increase in the cost of living can be expected, and this varies according to the lifestyle of individuals and their spending behavior. Not all companies will be required to register for the tax, only those whose revenue exceeds the revenue threshold. The study made the following recommendations: Preparing sufficient human resources in order to carry out the burdens of implementing the value-added tax and its calculations.

Abstract

       This research studies the abuse of the right to discipline a Muslim wife in China: its causes and treatment. The problem of the research is that many Chinese Muslim husbands do not know the provisions related to the family in the light of Islamic jurisprudence. The study reached the most important results: that domestic violence exists in general, but the traditional public opinion does not consider it violence, which may lead to its mistreatment. The most important reasons are due to the lack of knowledge of Islamic legal rulings among the Muslims of the region, and the lack of explanation of the forms of abuse in the use of the right of guardianship in the treatment of the wife. Rather, the directives consider them only. The study recommended highlighting this file with the work of Chinese scholars and advocates to study the conditions of the Chinese Muslim community towards Sharia rulings, review the defect in the case, and raise their awareness of the principles and purposes of Sharia. And preparing students of science at a high level of understanding of Sharia and reality, to be a good role model for the public.

In Islam, spirituality means worshipping God, seeking the satisfaction of God, awareness of the origin of the universe, humility, submission, and trust, which man demonstrates in all of his actions. In this way, an individual's oath to Allah is the focal point of Islamic spirituality. When discussing the role of spirituality in touching the unending episode of happiness in this world and the next world, the nature of spirituality continues to develop beyond one’s imagination. The word "spiritual" comes from the Latin word "spiritus," indicating breath, an essential element of human life. Without breathing, there is no life; therefore, every aspect of living, in essence, is related to the realm of the spiritual. Spirituality is also essential in human life experiences through the physical and mental senses, which are difficult to express in ordinary language. They have something to do with deep knowledge, dealing with living and non-living things and the metaphysical. Searching for a true sense of spirituality could show a path to self-identity that can answer who we are, where we come from, and our destination. This paper discusses the significance of the development of spirituality, starting from an individual to the family and society. It provides methods of developing spirituality, the nature of the development of spiritual values, training the children with the inculcation of religious teachings, and a comparison of spiritual values in Islamic and western practices. This research applies the descriptive-analytical method. It attempts to illustrate the significance of applying spirituality in the family and society at large as a catalyst towards the prosperity of this world and the next.

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى توضيح الخلفية التاريخية للوصية الواجبة في ماليزيا، وتحليل المواد القانونية المتعلقة بالوصية الواجبة تحت البند السابع والعشرين (27) قانون الوصايا للمسلمين بولاية سلانجور 1999م، مع بيان تطبيقاتها القانونية في المحكمة الشرعية بولاية سلانجور لمعرفة مدى وملاءمتها وتوافقها مع الشريعة الإسلامية. لذلك، من أجل دراسة الموضوع تعتمد الباحثة على المنهج الوصفي والمنهج التحليلي. ومن النتائج المهمة التي أسفر عنها البحث بأنه إذا استخدم القاضي طريقة المناسخات لاستخراج مقدار الوصية الواجبة في المحكمة الشرعية بولاية سلانجور، يهتم القاضي بأن مقدارها لا بد أن يكون أقل مقدار حصة أبيهم من الميراث إذا كان حيًا، على ألا يتجاوز هذا المقدار ثلث التركة. ولكن إذا كان أقل من الثلث لا يكمل القاضي مقدار الوصية الواجبة لهؤلاء الأحفاد في حدود الثلث التركة. وعليه، وتقترح هذه الدراسة بأنه إذا كان أعطاهم أقل من الثلث، وجبت تكملته إلى حدود ثلث التركة تحت هذا القانون.

 

This study aims to clarify the historical background of the Obligatory Will in Malaysia, and to analyze the legal articles related to the Obligatory Will under section 27 Muslim Wills Selangor Enactment 1999, with a statement of its legal applications in the Shariah Court of Selangor to determine the extent, suitability, and compatibility with Islamic jurisprudence. Therefore, in order to study the topic, the researcher relies on the descriptive method and the analytical method. One of the important findings of the research is that if the judge uses the Munasakhat method to extract the amount of the Obligatory Will in the Shariah court of Selangor, the judge consideration is that the amount must be less than their father's share of the inheritance if he is alive, provided that this amount does not exceed one third of the estate. But if it less than one third, the judge will not grant the amount of the Obligatory Will to those grandchildren to the limits of one third of the estate. Thus, this study suggests that if the judge’s verdict is to grant the grandchildren less than one third of the estate, it must be supplemented to the limits of one third of the estate under this law.

Altogether fifty-six tomato growers were selected randomly following the Simple Random Sampling technique for the household survey. Primary data were collected using pre-tested interviews with tomato farmers. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Ms. Excel 2010. Descriptive statistics were used to estimate the adoption level of post-harvest technologies and a multiple linear regression model was carried out to estimate the factors of tomato production affecting the household income. Analysis of the post-harvest practices of farmers suggested that 53.85% of plastic house growers and 33.33% of open field growers harvested tomatoes in the yellow stage; 44.64% of farmers practiced grading; 88.5% plastic house tomatoes and 80.0% open field tomatoes were packed in plastic crates; only 26.49% practiced processing; more than half of the farmers had access to collection centers; the majority had a medium level of knowledge regarding different post-harvest management technologies. Among various factors, Nova variety was estimated to increase household income by 71% followed by production per unit area (48%), cost of cultivation (37%), access to processing industries (10%), and direct selling to consumers (9%). In wholesome, though NARC has recommended many post-harvest technologies, the adoption level is unsatisfactory. The unavailability of a sufficient quantity of quality fertilizers, lack of rural infrastructure facilities including roads, and inadequate technological extension were the factors hindering the adoption of post-harvest technologies in the study area.
