Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine the factors that contribute to early pregnancy losses among UAE residents. An early pregnancy loss is defined as loss of fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy, before week 12. Our study assessed several risk factors that can lead to a pregnancy loss such as: maternal age, ethnicity, marital status, occupation, lifestyle, stress, previous history pregnancy losses or significant family history, and previously diagnosed illnesses or abnormalities of female reproductive system.
The data was collected from pregnant women of all nationalities, ages 18 to 45 attending Thumbay Hospital and Thumbay University Hospital, Ajman. The sample size of the study was 135 cases of early pregnancy loss and 134 controls, women with successful pregnancies.
The risk of a pregnancy loss among pregnant women was significantly increased by history of previous pregnancy losses, bleeding during pregnancy, cervical weakness, and PCOS. Among other less significant factors that could possibly lead to a pregnancy loss was smoking during pregnancy and consanguinity of the couple. Therefore, we recommend couples screening and preconception counseling, especially for women who had experienced pregnancy losses before and those diagnosed with PCOS or cervical weakness.

Keywords: Risk factors, Pregnancy loss.

Authors: De Castro Marcelo , Mara Lima Oliveira Guimarães Daniela
Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa, ao correlacionar, principalmente, consciência metalinguística e representação ortográfica, objetiva avaliar as estratégias conscientes utilizadas na escrita ortográfica por alunos do Ensino Fundamental II. Para tanto, embasamos a discussão na teoria denominada Integração de Múltiplos Padrões (TREIMAN; KESSLER, 2014; TREIMAN, 2018) e na noção conceitual de consciência metalinguística (SOARES, 2018). Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de um estudo de abordagem quali-quantitativa cujos dados foram gerados a partir de um questionário aberto respondido por estudantes do 6º ao 9º ano de uma escola privada de Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais). Entre os resultados, identificamos e discutimos diferentes estratégias conscientes (categorizadas como externas e internas), utilizadas pelos alunos para representar ortograficamente palavras sobre as quais têm dúvidas, isto é, que não estão armazenadas por completo no léxico mental deles. Além disso, constatamos que, com o decorrer da escolarização, a tendência é que haja uma ampliação das estratégias conscientes e que algumas destas (como se basear em palavras já conhecidas) devem ser debatidas e incentivadas na aprendizagem da ortografia, pois evidenciam o acionamento de conhecimento ortográfico no nível sublexical, embasado em padrões gráficos e linguísticos interligados.
Marcação de passado em cabo-verdiano

Published: July 2023

Este artigo trata do uso ou não da morfologia verbal do português em cabo-verdiano, especificamente na codificação de situações passadas. Partimos do pressuposto de que algumas propriedades do sistema linguístico da língua portuguesa são inseridas na língua cabo-verdiana, considerando-se o contexto de bilinguismo e diglossia em Cabo Verbo, o que verificamos ao considerar dados escritos, provenientes da webpage https://www.dexamsabi.com, e orais, advindos do telejornal Cabo Verde Magazine. Observamos percentual maior de divergências, mantendo o cabo-verdiano sua morfologia aspectual para codificação de situações passadas, porém há morfologia suplantada, principalmente na codificação de situações imperfectivas e de situações perfectivas com particípio passado, o que conduz à caracterização do fenômeno como um caso de cruzamento linguístico.

FACTORS INFLUENCING USE OF CONTRACEPTIVES AMONG SEXUALLY ACTIVE ADOLESCENTS IN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN NAIROBI. A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: J. K. Dr. Baker
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Although knowledge on climate variability is vital in addressing livelihood vulnerability to climate shocks, studies that link climate variability to rural livelihood responses and changes are few. The general objective of the study was to understand perception of climate variability and livelihood response strategies among the communities in the northern part of Kenya.

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: There is need for concerted efforts to build not only on adopted household adaptation strategies but also help them reduce current vulnerability as well as build future resilience.

Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: There is need to engage communities to understand their levels of vulnerability and design their own sustainable adaptation action plans. This can be done through adoption of the Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) model which among other measures involve capacity building of community members and development partners to participate in and help local people adapt to their livelihood strategies accordingly.

Authors: Catsiocca Irene
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. Preliminary empirical review revealed that impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. The problem of ocean acidification is significant due to its potential to disrupt the delicate balance and ecological functions of coral reef ecosystems. Coral reefs are not only biodiversity hotspots but also provide essential ecosystem services such as coastal protection, carbon sequestration and tourism revenue.

Recommendations: The Theory of Ocean Acidification and Calcification, Theory of Symbiotic Relationship Disruption and Theory of Microbial Community Shifts may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. Continued research is essential to deepen our understanding of the complex interactions between ocean acidification and coral reef ecosystems. Long-term monitoring programs should be established to track the health and status of coral reefs, enabling early detection of changes and guiding adaptive management strategies.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of temperature variation on plant growth in East African countries.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effects of temperature variation on plant growth in east African countries. Preliminary empirical review revealed that temperature variation influences plant nutrient uptake, nutrient assimilation and utilization by plants, impacting their growth and nutritional status. The findings emphasize the need to consider temperature effects on plant nutrient dynamics in agriculture and ecosystem management. The effects of temperature on plant growth were found in most of the studies reviewed.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Optimal Temperature Theory, Temperature Stress Theory (Acclimation and Heat Shock Proteins), Photoperiodism and Vernalization Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the Effects of Temperature Variation on Plant Growth in East African Countries. Studying the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to temperature variation is essential. Uncovering the genetic and molecular pathways involved in temperature stress responses will enable the development of crops with enhanced temperature tolerance and resilience. Additionally, the development of robust predictive models that integrate climate data, physiological processes, and crop responses is crucial. These models will assist in assessing the potential impacts of future temperature scenarios on plant growth and enable the implementation of adaptive measures in agriculture.

Published: July 2023

Distance learning can be facilitated through e-learning, and students can enhance their understanding of course materials through the use of an intelligent querying system that enables self-learning. In this paper, an ontology-based method for organizing the knowledge of mathematics in high-school is presented. Ontology Rela-Ops model, which is a knowledge model for representing the knowledge of relations and operators, is combined with the knowledge component of functions. Based on the combining model, a structure of knowledge graph is proposed to represent relations of intellectual contents. An intelligent querying system is designed for the domain of high-school mathematics using these structures. This searching system can query contents of the course and extracts other knowledge related to querying results. The experimental results show that the proposed method is useful and effective to apply in the practice.

Industrial Automation Debug Message Display Over Modbus RTU Using C#
Authors: Chakraborty Sudip , Aithal P. S.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: To debug any device needs to display debug message. Seeing the message, we can detect what is the issue in our program. The are several popular debug tools available. The popular is JTAG. This debug interface is not available to debug inside all embedded systems. Instead of it, the Researcher uses a serial debug terminal. However, it has several drawbacks. Its wire length is generally within the table. The message is displayed only in one terminal. Sometimes the connected system is damaged due to high voltage spike injection. Here we demonstrate a procedure to eliminate all the above drawbacks. Instead of a direct serial display, we recommend using a modified serial debugger like Modbus hooked debug display. It is safe, can display multiple arrays simultaneously using broadcast messages, and can transmit long-range data. We developed a terminal program in C#. We provide a sample Embedded side test program. The complete project code is available to download.
Design/Methodology/Approach: First, we create a Graphical user interface using C# language. To display the message, we use the “Listbox” control. We added a timer control to fetch the data availability. The timer interval is one millisecond by default. Within this time, it checks whether any data is reached. When the message/data arrives, it starts parsing. At first, it reads the Device ID. If the device ID matches, then it checks the CRC. If CRC is valid, it extracts the data from the received packets and displays it inside the list box.
Findings/Result: Various tools are needed to resolve the issue when we debug the system. We connect the debugger and try to uncover the problem. Sometimes we do less concentrate on the hardware connection. So, there are chances of a wrong connection. Further, it can lead to the cause for damage to our PC/laptop. Here is our approach to minimize the damage which is unintentionally created. We isolate the PC/Laptop from the debugging system. It is safe and reliable. The researchers, new to embedded system debugging, can get information on where they can safely debug by creating an isolated environment.
Originality/Value: This work provides some efficient view to debug message display using Modbus. It has several advantages over a simple serial debug interface. It can be long-range. The same message can be displayed in multiple terminals for team debugs season. The Researcher working with various team members on the same project can be viewed effectively. The new Researcher can be found some good reference information from this work.

Authors: Hamidzadeh Seyed Mohamad , Rezaei Mohsen , Ranjbar-Bourani Mehdi
Published: July 2023

In this paper, modelling of a three-level chaotic supply chain network. This model has the uncertainty of the retailer in the manufacturer. An adaptive neural fuzzy method has been proposed to synchronize the two chaotic supply chain networks. To train adaptive neural fuzzy controller, first, a nonlinear feedback control method is designed. Then, using Lyapanov theory, it is proved that the nonlinear feedback controller can reduce the synchronization error to zero in a finite time. The simulation results show that the proposed neural fuzzy controller architecture well controls the synchronization of the two chaotic supply chain networks. In the other part of the simulation, a comparison is made between the performance of the nonlinear controller and the adaptive neural fuzzy. Also, in the simulation results, the controller signal is depicted. This signal indicates that the cost of implementation in the real world is not high and is easily implemented.
Fulfillment costs in online grocery retailing: comparing retail store and warehouse strategies
Authors: Rodríguez-García Miguel , Ortiz Bas Angel , Prado-Prado José Carlos , Lyons Andrew
Published: July 2023

This study develops a framework that structures the operational costs of online grocery retailing in order to identify which is the most suitable e-fulfillment strategy. The cost framework was designed by applying time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) and is based on the insights of two large European grocery retailers, which operate retail store and warehouse e-fulfillment strategies respectively. Cost information was collected, and activity-oriented process modeling was carried out in the field to identify the most relevant e-fulfillment cost drivers. For the retail store strategy, picking costs were the highest among e-fulfillment activities and up to twice as high as for the warehouse strategy. For the warehouse strategy, delivery costs were the highest and 50% higher than for the retail store strategy. Less studied logistics activities such as unpacking and reverse logistics all together accounted for up to one third of total expenses for both strategies. In omnichannel, operations and logistics managers must still ensure the profitability of the online channel if they want to succeed in the grocery business. This framework will help managers identify and estimate the most relevant cost drivers, and to allocate them to the main operational activities.

Its role in the time of the pandemic is vital, especially to the practice of medicine. This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, survey research study conducted in four hospital training institutions in Cebu City. A total of 41 respondents gave their consent and were given the online survey questionnaire about the extent of knowledge, preparedness and perceptions of telemedicine. Out of the 41 respondents, 56.10% were young adults (26-30 years old), mostly females (70.73%), single (68.29%), first-year residents (43.90%), employed at a government hospital (70.73%) and are in the traditional residency pathway (82.93%). On relevant experience, 82.93% experienced telemedicine during residency, with 100% on follow-up consultations, and 95% were consulted due to infections. Respondents’ extent of knowledge was average while the extent of preparedness and perception were high. Problems with low connectivity (80.48%) were noted by most of the respondents. Resident physicians moderately understood the information about telemedicine but with a high extent of preparedness and perception. Challenges to low connectivity and handling patients’ data privacy were the major concerns met by the resident physicians in the use of telemedicine.

Authors: Justo Nieto Milena
Published: July 2023

Este artículo analiza las características del Estado-nación en el marco del proceso de reconocimiento e implementación del pluralismo jurídico,  recapitulando los avances normativos e identificando los pendientes en un territorio urbano y rural complejo, habitado por diferentes pueblos indígenas, como el Perú. Frente a ello, analiza la necesidad del desarrollo de un derecho propio, así como, las formas de dinamización del pluralismo jurídico, realizadas y por realizar, inclinándose por aquellas que superen el reconocimiento legal, y se encarnen en la cooperación y coordinación real entre autoridades comunales y operadores/as de justicia.

Published: July 2023

A new species, Mastigostyla moqueguensis Huaylla & Llalla, is described from the Andes of Moquegua in southern Peru. Mastigostyla, which belongs to the tribe Tigridieae, is widely distributed in the Puna and Andean dry valleys of southern Peru and central Bolivia. The new species can be recognized by its ovate-lanceolate, acute inner tepals with glands at the base. It shows some affnity with M. torotoroensis because of the fliform, bifid style arms with apical stigmas. We present photographs and a table highlighting differences between the new specie and some similar species.
Dynamical Analysis and Electronic Circuit Implementation of Fractional-order Chen System
Authors: GÖKYILDIRIM Abdullah
Published: July 2023

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in interest in studies related to fractional calculus and its applications. Fractional-order analysis holds the potential to enhance the dynamic structure of chaotic systems. This study focuses on the dynamic analysis of the Chen system with low fractional-order values and its fractional-order electronic circuit. Notably, there is a lack of studies about chaotic electronic circuits in the literature with a fractional-order parameter value equal to 0.8, which makes this study pioneering in this regard. Moreover, various numerical analyses are presented to investigate the system's dynamic characteristics and complexity, such as chaotic phase planes and bifurcation diagrams. As anticipated, the voltage outputs obtained from PSpice simulations demonstrated good agreement with the numerical analysis.

Introduction: The main complication in Diabetes Mellitus patients is delayed wound healing resulting in chronic wounds. Chayote is known as a vegetable, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The tannin and saponin compounds in chayote produce antibacterial agents. This study aims to prove the role of chayote extract cream on the wound healing process of diabetic rats through MMP-2 markers and collagen density. Methods: This study was an experimental post-test only control group design using male rats. Samples were induced hyperglycaemia with 46 mg of nicotinamide and 10 mg of streptozotocin one week before the experiment. The sample was divided into 2 groups: the placebo group (P0) and the treatment group (P1) with a total of 11 samples per group. The treatment group received cream of chayote extract 60% for 1 week. On the 8th day, both groups were taken by punch biopsy to assess collagen density, then examined for MMP-2 levels in the blood. Results: The average MMP-2 level in the control group was 4.97 ± 0.36 ng/ml, while the average MMP-2 in the treatment group was 4.59 ± 0.42 ng/ml. The average collagen level in the control group was 37.08 ± 12.92 %/ body surface, while the mean collagen in the treatment group was 54.21 ± 15.76 %/ body surface. Conclusion: Administration of ethanol extract of chayote (Sechium edule) significantly reduced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) levels and increased collagen density in the wound healing process of rats.
