Climate Protest Scarcity in East Asia: Cross-Country Analysis Using Resource Mobilization Theory
Authors: Komatsu Hikaru , Hsieh Yi-Huan
Published: June 2024

Climate protests have been recognized as a catalyst for social transformation. Previous studies focused on protests in Western countries where protests were abundant. Few studies paid attention to regions where protests were scarce. As a first step towards understanding the reasons for climate protest scarcity in East Asia, we used Resource Mobilization Theory and explored factors correlated with climate protest significance among different countries. In addition to confirming factors already identified in previous studies (e.g., the density of non-governmental organizations), we uncovered two novel factors: working hours and trust in strangers. By examining these correlations, we discuss potential mechanisms underlying the protest scarcity in East Asia.
Young Adults’ Essential Food Skills and Cooking Perceptions: A mixed method study
Authors: Gaston Marcy , Vaterlaus J. Mitchell , Wanago Nicole
Published: June 2024

Our purpose in this research study was to examine perceptions of food and nutrition educators (FNEs, i.e., Registered Dietitians Nutritionists and Family and Consumer Science teachers) and young adults (ages 18–25) on the status of cooking and food skills among young adults. Using a cross-sectional survey design, FNEs (n = 93) and college-attending young adults (n = 270) in the United States completed electronic surveys. The qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed using a convergent mixed-methods approach. The qualitative data from open-ended survey responses collected from young adults and FNEs were analyzed using coding reliability thematic analysis. The quantitative data used Fisher’s Exact Test to compare the importance of food skills between FNEs and young adults. In the quantitative data, young adults and FNE reported the top five food skills essential for young adults with slight variations between the two groups. For young adults, “cooking meat and poultry” was their top skill while FNEs chose “reading and following a recipe” as the top food skill. Three themes were constructed through coding reliability thematic analysis: (1) definition of cooking, (2) perceptions of the purpose of cooking, and (3) young adults’ autonomy in cooking. We concluded that young adults understood the benefits of cooking and eating healthily, but many felt overwhelmed by it. While educational food skill interventions should focus on foundational skills, cooking should be taught with consideration of young adults in mind (e.g., time and money limitations) to make the skills practical and enduring.
Assessing Barriers to Upward Mobility in the Cape Fear Region
Authors: Cherry Sabrina T. , Prentice Christopher R.
Published: June 2024

Researchers explore upward mobility to better understand how economic and employment factors drive or undermine social justice and equity in the United States. This scholarship can inform activists and researchers seeking to design solutions that help overcome systemic challenges to upward mobility. Therefore, as an interdisciplinary team of scholars in a public university, we collaborated with community partners to conduct a case study in which we assessed the barriers to—and the drivers of—upward mobility in a medium-sized city in Southeastern North Carolina. We conducted key informant interviews and focus groups with a cross-section of local residents to learn about their experiences securing employment, earning a living wage, and participating in professional development opportunities, as well as identifying promising employees. Our findings indicate that there are multiple barriers to upward mobility in this region. The most commonly cited barriers include affordable housing, the cost of childcare, a prior criminal record, transportation, and racism and discrimination.

O estudo analisa a circulação da revista Vida Capichaba na cidade de Vitória durante a década de 1920, em busca de pistas sobre a constituição de um projeto de Educação do Corpo. Na análise das pistas sobre a Educação do Corpo, utilizamos os conceitos de lutas de representações (Chartier, 1990),paradigma indiciário (Ginzburg, 1990), processo civilizador (Elias, 1993) e a crítica documental (Bloch, 2001). Percebemos que a região da cidade de Vitória, capital do estado do Espírito Santo, estava em processo de transformação no início do século XX. Novos hábitos estavam sendo veiculados pela imprensa, que construía narrativas sobre boas condutas, bons hábitos físicos, morais e intelectuais para os seus leitores. A revista propunha uma cultura do corpo centrada em atividades esportivas, cultivo da saúde, da Educação Física e do lazer, práticas consideradas civilizadas, capazes de proporcionar experiências agradáveis e educar homens e mulheres para a sociedade que se esperava construir.

Published: June 2024

O trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as guildas de formigas que forrageiam sobre plantas cítricas e também avaliar o efeito da interação com as formigas sobre a abundância de cochonilhas. A coleta de dados foi realizada no SIPA - Sistema Integrado de Produção Agroecológica, município de Seropédica, Estado do Rio de Janeiro. O levantamento da mirmecofauna foi realizado sobre 21 árvores do gênero Citrus. No tronco das árvores foi pincelada isca atrativa (mistura de sardinha e mel), procedendo-se a coleta das formigas após uma hora. As espécies de formigas coletadas foram classificadas em guildas. Para a avaliação do efeito da interação com formigas na abundância de cochonilhas foram escolhidas 10 árvores, selecionando-se um galho onde ocorreu o isolamento entre formigas e cochonilhas e outro galho onde o isolamento não ocorreu. Foram coletadas 12 espécies de formigas, que foram classificadas em três guildas. Após o período de isolamento, o número médio de cochonilhas nos galhos não isolados de formigas (29,4 ± 15,4 cochonilhas) não foi significativamente diferente do número médio de cochonilhas nos galhos isolados (20,5 ± 17,9 cochonilhas) (Teste t pareado; p > 0,05). As atividades desempenhadas pelas espécies de formigas coletadas são variadas, incluindo algumas que teoricamente são proveitosas para a produção agrícola, mas também possuem comportamentos prejudiciais às plantas cultivadas, incluindo a interação mutualística com hemípteros fitófagos. Contudo, não foi constatado efeito da interação com formigas na abundância de cochonilhas sobre plantas cítricas.

Published: June 2024

A sociedade da informação e da comunicação, na qual se vive atualmente, impõe ao docente a adoção de processos de ensino e aprendizagem apoiados pela tecnologia digital. O professor necessita percorrer caminhos de autoria e criatividade na utilização das referidas tecnologias em sala de aula. Assim sendo, o presente artigo propõe-se analisar os efeitos das tecnologias digitais nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, tecendo, ao final, uma análise crítica acerca dos desafios e das possibilidades de utilização das tecnologias, tendo em vista as informações obtidas na revisão bibliográfica, bem como junto aos educadores do Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul), Campus Pelotas. Esta investigação se pauta por uma abordagem qualitativa (Bogdan; Biklen,1999), bem como pelos pressupostos do levantamento bibliográfico (Köche, 2011), e pesquisa de campo por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados evidenciam pouca apropriação tecnológica dos educadores, o que dificulta a criação de contextos de aprendizagem com a utilização dos recursos tecnológicos; em contrapartida, os recursos tecnológicos emergem como possibilidade didático-pedagógica para aproximar as escolas dos nativos digitais, renovando os processos de ensino e aprendizagem na sociedade contemporânea.

O Traumatismo Cranioencefálico (TCE) é uma das principais causas de morbidade e hospitalizações, exigindo cuidados intensivos em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI). Pacientes com TCE necessitam de uma equipe multiprofissional altamente capacitada para otimizar a perfusão cerebral, prevenir lesões secundárias e promover a reabilitação eficaz e completa. Este estudo analisou o prognóstico clínico de pacientes neurológicos, especialmente vítimas de TCE em UTIs através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, avaliando artigos de 2018 a 2024 nas bases BVS, SCIELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico. Os resultados mostram que a adoção de protocolos clínicos melhora a eficácia do atendimento por todos os profissionais envolvidos, permitindo avaliações e cuidados mais rápidos e precisos. Na fase crítica após o TCE, a monitorização constante da pressão intracraniana (PIC) e a implementação precoce de medidas neuroprotetoras são essenciais. Manter a estabilidade hemodinâmica, respiratória e metabólica do paciente, frequentemente com sedação profunda e ventilação mecânica, é crucial. A competência da equipe é vital para assegurar estratégias ventilatórias adequadas e prevenir complicações graves.

Objective: The study is on the role of human capital on the relationship between executive compensation and financial performance of banks in Nigeria from 2008 to 2022. The work studies the moderating role of human capital on the relationship between executive compensation and financial performance of listed banks in Nigeria.
 
Method: In establishing the relationship, correlational research design was employed. The research encompasses listed banks in Nigerian for the period of study. Utilizing secondary data from annual reports and accounts, a panel regression was employed to test the hypotheses. The study was supported by pay-performance theory on the financial performance measure as NIM.
 
Results: The findings reveal that highest paid director have a negative and significant relationship with financial performance of banks in Nigeria. In the same vein, the study establishes a positive relationship between total compensation and financial performance. However, human capital moderates the relationship between total compensation and financial performance of banks in Nigeria negatively.
 
Conclusion: The study's findings yield recommendations for enhancing financial performance of Nigerian banks. There is need for control on executive compensation of banks as these are vital to the financial performance of banks in Nigeria.
SCHILLER’S MOTIFS IN THE IMAGE OF LENSKY IN A.S. PUSHKIN’S NOVEL EUGENE ONEGIN
Authors: Krinitsyn Alexander
Published: June 2024

When creating the image of Lensky, Pushkin combined two concepts
of how Schiller was perceived in Russian culture of the 1820s: “sublime”, freedomloving, idealistic (as a figure of Sturm und Drang) and “pseudo-romantic”, elegiac,
dating back to translations of Schiller’s elegies and ballads by Zhukovsky. At the
same time, Pushkin himself in Eugene Onegin, obviously, does not completely
separate them and does not oppose them, updating one or the other if necessary.
The projection of both in the novel ranges from ironic reduction to sympathetic
acceptance, which, along with their latent conflict with each other, creates a dialectical tension of Lensky’s image. It is Schiller’s motifs that give this image depth.
In the draft versions, the exposition of Lensky’s image, the expressiveness and
passion of his nature, rebellion and political engagement of the poet are much more
strongly emphasized. But the author, while working on the text, “shifts” the image
of Lensky towards a dreamy elegiac, while maintaining a recognizable Schiller appearance. The description of Lensky’s ideals moves entirely along the lines of Schiller’s philosophy and creativity. In this regard, the article for the first time examines
possible reminiscences to the image of Lensky from Schiller’s poems “Die Hoffnung”,
“Die Ideale”, “Die Freundschaft”, “Der Triumph der Liebe”, “Das Geheimnis der
Reminiszenz. An Laura”, “Die Künstler”, “Das Glück”, “Das Ideal und das Leben”,
“Der Flüchtling”.
Having parodied the tradition of “dull” elegy on the example of Lensky’s dying
poems, the author unexpectedly places two similar elegies as lyrical digressions.
Despite the predominance of the Byron ideological and artistic context in the
novel and Pushkin’s apparent irony in relation to the Schiller tradition, it represented for him a possible reference point for the development of Russian literature.
“PUSHKIN FEATURES” IN THE LATE CHEKHOV
Authors: Kibalnik Sergey
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the significance of Pushkin for the late Chekhov. In contrast to the early and mature Chekhov, it is manifested not simply in the
use of Pushkin’s images to enrich the writer’s artistic vocabulary. In his later years,
Chekhov also correlated his own fate with Pushkin’s and turned to Pushkin to reinterpret classical themes of literature, in particular, the theme of real and imaginary
love, outlined by Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina.

O sistema de recirculação em aquicultura (RAS) possibilita a reutilização da água, após ter sido submetida a filtragem mecânica e biológica. Diferentes substratos podem ser utilizados nestes sistemas, como biofiltros para garantir baixas concentrações de compostos tóxicos, como o nitrogênio amoniacal. O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a influência do substrato na concentração de nitrogênio amoniacal e na sobrevivência de juvenis de tilápia (Oreochromis niloticus) mantidos em RAS. O experimento teve duração de 36 dias, sendo 8 dias para maturação dos filtros e 28 dias de criação, utilizando 10 juvenis por caixa, com os seguintes substratos: B0) brita 0 (4,8 - 9,5 mm); B1) brita 1 (9,5 - 19 mm); B0+B1) 50% de brita 0 + 50% de brita 1 e CN) controle (sem substrato), em três repetições, totalizando 12 unidades experimentais. Semanalmente (dias 0, 7, 14, 21 e 28), foram contabilizados o número de peixes vivos para avaliar a taxa de sobrevivência (TS), monitorados os parâmetros de qualidade da água, e coletadas amostras para determinação de nitrogênio amoniacal. Houve diferença estatística para concentração de NH3/NH4 entre os biofiltros e ao longo do tempo, chegando a 15,94 mg/L aos 28 dias. A taxa de sobrevivência melhorou ao longo do período experimental para todos os substratos, chegando a ser 100% a partir do dia 21, para B0 e B0+B1. Conclui-se que britas, em diferentes granulometrias, são bons substratos para biofiltros, contribuindo com a manutenção das concentrações de nitrogênio amoniacal. O biofiltro B0+B1 foi o que proporcionou melhor taxa de sobrevivência dos juvenis de tilápia.

Effects of Utilitarian, Hedonic and Social Motives on Mall Shoppers Satisfaction
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Magai Sauti
Published: June 2024

The primary objective of the study was to comprehend the factors influencing customers' choices in supermarket shopping. A notable concern arises as shoppers tend to frequent supermarkets regardless of the availability of alternative modern shopping options nearby. Employing the convenience sampling method, the research distributed 300 self-administered questionnaires at Mlimani City, a significant mall in Dar es Salaam, and retrieved 291 completed responses. Guided by consumer behavior theories, the study focused on utilitarian, hedonic, and social factors influencing customer satisfaction with supermarket shopping experiences. The findings emphasized the paramount importance of social factors, followed by hedonic factors, in shaping customer satisfaction. Utilitarian factors exhibited a stronger impact on behavioral intention but had a relatively lesser influence on overall customer satisfaction with the supermarket experience. This highlights that, for many Tanzanians, supermarkets serve as spaces for social interaction and leisure activities rather than purely for shopping. These insights carry significant implications for academia, managers, and policymakers, offering valuable perspectives to enhance the supermarket shopping experience for Tanzanian consumers.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia's Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) sets out the requirements for the conversion of verponding eigendom land, regulating the rights of Westerners to be included in the applicable land law system. Based on the UUPA, land rights must be converted until September 24 1980. However, there are still frequent claims of land ownership resulting from eigendom disputes that have not been legally resolved, which causes land disputes. Case of verponding eigendom land dispute between the heirs of the Muller Family, PT. Dago Inti Graha versus Dago Elos residents is a clear example of the complexity that can occur in land ownership issues. Since it started in 2016, this dispute has been decided four times, one of which was at the PK level with Case Register Number 109 PK/Pdt/2022. Normative juridical and analytical descriptive approaches, in legal studies and relevant legal cases are analyzed. Result: According to the provisions of UUPA and its implementing regulations, as well as Government Regulation no. 24 of 1997, if there is no land eigendom verponding convention, the land then becomes state property. Through the trial, the Panel of Judges considered that the heirs of the Muller Family had succeeded in proving that they were the legal holders of land rights, compared to the claims of Dago Elos Residents who did not have proof of ownership and that the Muller Family heirs had more complete and valid supporting documents than the Residents. Dago Elos. Based on these considerations, the judge decided that the heirs of the Muller family had stronger and more legal rights to the disputed land than the Dago Elos residents. Therefore, the legal consequences for control of disputed land are that the heirs of the Muller family have the right to register the land and obtain legal recognition of ownership of the disputed land.

Published: June 2024

This is the point of interest to use zootechnical additives in ruminants to control the accumulation of lactate in the rumen. The primary and main cause of acidosis is due to consumption of rapidly digestible carbohydrate in high amount. In normal animal husbandry (stall fed) practices generally livestock are feed with the left out or waste products rich in carbohydrates. This excessive carbohydrate consumption leads to sudden change in ruminal environment, causing sub-acute or chronic lactic acidosis. The ruminal lactic acidosis problem can be averted by either zootechnic additives such as Saccharomyces cereviseae and Megasphaera elsdenii or adding sodium bicarbonate/enzymes in feed or ration.

Authors: Joshi Ravindra Madhukar , Batule Radhakrishna
Published: June 2024

In this study, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool was employed to assess the environmental impact of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Pune, India, under four different scenarios. These scenarios included composting combined with landfilling (S1), a material recovery facility (MRF) and composting combined with landfilling (S2), MRF and anaerobic digestion (AD) combined with landfilling (S3), and MRF, AD, and composting combined with landfilling (S4). The environmental assessments have been performed by means of the LCA- based tool EASEWASTE, aimed to compare these scenarios based on their effects on global warming, human toxicity, eutrophication, and photochemical ozone creation potential categories. The results of the study showed that Scenario S2 had the least environmental impact across these categories. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess how changes in the recycling rate of valuable resources influenced the environmental burdens in all scenarios. The findings from this analysis revealed an inversely proportional relationship between changes in the recycling rate and the overall environmental impact. This research utilized LCA to evaluate the environmental implications of MSWM scenarios in Pune, India, and found that Scenario S2 was the most environmentally favourable. The sensitivity analysis highlighted the significance of recycling rates in mitigating environmental burdens in the different waste management scenarios.

Unternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung, auf zunehmende Unsicherheit und Komplexität zu reagieren. Agile Managementmethoden bieten eine mögliche Lösung, indem sie starre Organisationsformen durch flexible, kundenorientierte Arbeitsmethoden ersetzen. Allerdings stossen sie auf starre interne Governance-Strukturen, die rechtlichen Anforderungen gerecht werden müssen. Der Beitrag des AKEIÜ analysiert die Auswirkungen agiler Managementmethoden auf Governance-Strukturen. Mithilfe der Analyse von sechs Implementierungsprojekten in Unternehmen wird die Wechselwirkung zwischen Agilem Management und Governance-Strukturen untersucht, um Zielkonflikte zu identifizieren und Empfehlungen in Form von Leitlinien zu entwickeln. Mit diesen Leitlinien zeigt der AKEIÜ einen Weg auf, wie Agile Managementmethoden im Unternehmen zur Erreichung der Geschäftsziele eingesetzt werden können. Entscheidend dabei ist, dass Governance-Strukturen bereits in der Konzeptphase zu berücksichtigen sind und ihre Effektivität auch nach der Implementierung regelmässig und systematisch überprüft werden muss.

: Minimally invasive robotic approaches have become standard in many institutions over the last decade for various pediatric urological procedures. The anesthetic considerations for common laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries are similar since both require the insufflation of CO2 to adequately visualize the operative area. However, few studies exist regarding anesthesia for robotic procedures in children. We hypothesized that pediatric patients undergoing robotic urologic surgeries would require specific anesthetic strategies, especially given the inherently longer durations of these procedures. This study aimed to evaluate anesthetic considerations, current robotic procedures, optimal patient positioning, and port placement for robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric patients. A comprehensive literature review of all published manuscripts from PubMed, EMBASE database, and Google Scholar was performed, focusing on robotic procedures involving pediatric patients, anesthesia for pediatric urology patients, and related topics from 1996 to 2023. Forty published manuscripts were identified and reviewed in depth. In pediatric cases, insufflation pressures and volumes are lower due to the laxity of the abdominal wall. However, the increase in intra-abdominal pressure and absorption of CO2 may result in disproportionate changes in cardiopulmonary function. Specific patient positioning for robotic approaches may further compound these physiological changes. Correct patient positioning is essential to facilitate surgery optimally and safely. Understanding the physiological changes that can occur during a pediatric patient’s robotic urologic surgery allows for safer anesthesia management.

Background: E-learning was considered an appropriate alternative to face-to-face education during the COVID-19 pandemic. It ensured the continuity of learning and protected students against the risk of virus transmission in the university environment. Objectives: The present study investigates the role of e-learning skills in the academic success and satisfaction of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The statistical population of the present study included all medical students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in southwest Iran in 2021. Ultimately, 260 people participated in the study. To collect data, two researcher-made questionnaires were used: One for assessing e-learning skills and another for measuring students' academic satisfaction. Additionally, the GPA from their previous three semesters was used to measure the level of academic success. Results: The results revealed that e-learning skills (mean ± SD = 3.79 ± 0.68), academic satisfaction (mean ± SD = 3.88 ± 0.65), and student's academic success (mean ± SD = 15.8 ± 1.62) were above the average. Also, a positive and significant correlation was found between the e-learning skills of students and their level of academic success and satisfaction. Conclusions: According to the results, there was relative satisfaction with e-learning compared to traditional teaching techniques. Having e-learning skills also increased satisfaction and, thus, improved the academic success of students. In other words, this learning method helped students improve their academic performance as well as their clinical and communication skills.
Utilizing the Trans-Cell Approach as a Salvage Treatment for an Unopened Flow Redirection Endoluminal Device in a Flow-Related Aneurysm Associated with Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report
Authors: Yen Ho-Hsian , Lai Yen-Jun
Published: June 2024

Introduction: We report the first case demonstrating the viability of the trans-cell approach as a salvage strategy in situations where Flow Redirection Endoluminal Devices (FREDs) fail to open. Case Presentation: A 64-year-old woman was admitted to our facility after a motorcycle accident. During her examination, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the right temporal lobe was incidentally discovered. The AVM was associated with large flow-related aneurysms in the bilateral supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA), as revealed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The AVM was surgically removed, and the aneurysm was treated endovascularly using a FRED. However, the middle section of the FRED failed to open post-deployment. We successfully carried out a salvage therapy using the stent strut technique with a Headway Duo microcatheter for coiling. Conclusion: The trans-cell technique utilizing a Headway Duo 156 microcatheter can be an effective salvage treatment for unopened FRED stents used in brain aneurysm cases.

Background: Changes in signals and parameters of time-signal intensity curve (TIC) resulting from dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been considered for determining malignancy. However, the specific diagnostic criteria of TIC for detecting malignancy in various organs, such as lymph nodes, are not yet well-established. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of some TIC parameters in identifying malignant cervical lymph nodes. Patients and Methods: In this case-control study, patients with cervical lymphadenopathy were examined by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) before excisional biopsy. They were then divided into malignant and benign groups based on histopathology. Malignant patients were considered as the case group, while benign cases were considered as the control group. The TIC parameters included the signal intensity (SI) at 45 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes, as well as maximum signal intensity (SImax), the time at which the maximum signal intensity occurs (Tmax), the peak signal intensity (SI peak), and the time at which the peak signal intensity occurs (T peak). Additionally, the enhancement slope (ES), washout ratio (WR), and washout slope (WS) were evaluated at 5 and 10 minutes. Results: A total of 63 patients were enrolled in the study, including 31 (49.2%) patients with benign lymphadenopathies and 32 (50.8%) patients with malignant lymphadenopathies. Among the variables under study, significant differences were observed between the malignant (M) group and the benign (B) group in terms of the SI-5 min, SI-10 min, WR-5 min, WR-10 min, and WS-5 min (SI-5 min: 124.4 ± 145 (B) vs. 219.2 ± 93.8 (M), P = 0.003; SI-10 min: 109.9 ± 134.6 (B) vs. 188.9 ± 83.7 (M), P = 0.007; WR-5 min: 0.58 ± 0.38 (B) vs. 0.15 ± 0.13 (M), P < 0.001; WR-10 min: 0.63 ± 0.36 (B) vs. 0.26 ± 0.17 (M), P < 0.001; and WS-5 min: 0.93 ± 1.20 (B) vs. 1.40 ± 4.44 (M), P = 0.001). In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, WS-5 min showed specificity of 29.1%, 75%, 90%, and 95% and sensitivity of 88.2%, 70.6%, 47.1%, and 47.1% at cutoff points of 0.1, 0.37, 0.57, and 0.66, respectively. Conclusion: The WR-5 min can be considered as a potential TIC index in DCE-MRI for the diagnosis of malignant cervical lymphadenopathies.

Background: During computed tomography (CT) examinations, the presence of radiation material undoubtedly has a certain impact on patients, particularly children, who are more susceptible to radiation. Consequently, finding ways to minimize radiation dosage and mitigate radiation-related risks while enhancing the quality and accuracy of CT scans has become a crucial concern for medical professionals in CT equipment manufacturing companies and radiology departments to contemplate. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of low dose and low contrast medium combined with low flow rate scanning in CT angiography (CTA) of children's liver. Patients and Methods: A total of 59 children who visited our department for liver vascular CT scans between April 2021 and December 2022 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into 2 groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group consisted of 28 children who received an injection of 80 kV, automatic tube current, low contrast dose (1.5 mL/kg), and low flow rate of 20 s. The control group included 31 children who were injected with 100 kV, automatic tube current, contrast agent dose (2 mL/kg), and flow rate of 16 s. The objective and subjective image quality, radiation dose, and iodine intake in the arterial, portal, and venous phases were compared between the 2 groups. Results: During the arterial, portal, and venous phases, the experimental group exhibited lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared to the control group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in subjective quality scores between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). The effective dose (ED), volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), and dose-length product (DLP) of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the iodine intake in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In the examination of hepatic vascular CTA in children, the use of a 3-low scanning technique can effectively decrease radiation and contrast agents while ensuring sufficient image quality for accurate clinical diagnosis.
