Published: August 2024

Background: Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease in the digestive system with chronic onset, which often presents with unique and atypical phenotypes. This study aimed to dissect the important features of inflammatory bowel disease in children
Discussion: The two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). In children, IBD may exhibit classic symptoms such as weight loss, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. However, many patient present with atypical symptoms such as isolated poor growth, anemia, or other extraintestinal manifestations. Early diagnosis of IBD in children is crucial as delayed diagnosis may lead to serious complications like bowel narrowing or abnormal connections, and stunted growth. The recommended initial evaluations in a pediatric patient with suspected IBD are complete blood test, stool examination, endoscopy and imaging. Furthermore, the aims of IBD treatment in children are to improve quality of life, relieve symptoms, promote normal growth, and prevent complications, all while minimizing medication side effects.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in managing pediatric IBD. Additionally, addressing the disease's impact on bone health, growth, development, and psychosocial well-being is also crucial to achieve comprehensive management.
Social extermination in the El Paraíso neighborhood. A structural constructivist analysis in the period 2010-2021
Authors: Salas Ampudia Ingrid Johanna , Álvarez Natalia Helena
Published: August 2024

The article explores the results of the project "Social Extermination in the El Paraíso neighborhood: 2010 - 2021", carried out by the seedbed Esperanza en Marcha of the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios - UNIMINUTO, Bogotá headquarters. The research focused on reflecting on the social representations of young people in the Paraíso neighborhood about the practices of social extermination that have occurred during the last ten years, based on the analysis of the categories, using the approaches of Pierre Bourdieu's structural constructivism and a qualitative methodology of narrative cut, where information gathering techniques related to semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and social cartographies were used. The research revealed the structural components of social extermination, recognizing that it originates from dominance over the youth of the neighborhood through the establishment of practices and thoughts that seek to annihilate what is different, what does not fit into the capitalist, patriarchal, and colonial system, Recognizing that this generates some affectations in the construction of identity of the young people due to the stigmatization of their place of residence and the violation of their human rights, the above is also reflected in the absence of governmental accompaniment, where finally it is the scenarios of youth resistance that make visible the situations and demand protection from community actions.

This empirical study evaluated the effect of audit quality on accounting going concern of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria between 2015 and 2020. The research design adopted for this study was the ex-post facto research design. Secondary data were collected from audited reports and accounts of the related manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book. Using the Krejcie and Morgan formula to obtain a homogenous sample, 38 firms were selected from the healthcare, consumer goods and industrial sub sectors of the Nigerian economy. Data were analyzed with the aid of Ordinary Least Squares method of multiple regression. From the random effects model, the variable of audit firm size (Coef. = 0.604, z = 1.21 and p – value = 0.226) has a positive effect and statistically insignificant at 5%. Audit tenure (Coef. = 0.557, z = 2.05 and p – value = 0.040) has a positive effect and statistically significant at 5%. The variable auditor’s fees (Coef. = -5.160, z = -1.93 and p- value = 0.054) has a negative effect and statistically significant at 5%. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that the Going Concern assumption is vital for the valuation of business assets since these assets can be valued upon their business values in use rather than their termination values, which in general are a lot lower. If a firm is not expected to continue to stay in business in the foreseeable future, the auditor can give an adverse opinion in the form of a Going Concern Opinion. The manufacturing sector is extremely crucial for the economic growth and development of a developing economy such as Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that (i) Managers of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria should become part owners of the firms so as to (a) have the same incentives as the owners (b) lower the level of conflict of interests since this have been proven to have significant negative correlation with the problem of Accounting Going Concern (ii) Managerial policies that tend to increase audit fee should be re-examined and possibly reviewed downwards especially if the aim is to improve the firm’s Accounting Going Concern.
Public Debt Economic Growth Nexus: How Effective to Allay Resetting Economic Growth of India
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department Of Economics, J NV University, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Rekha Dr. , Karan Dr. Dev ,   Assistant Professor, Department Of Economics, J NV University, Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Published: August 2024

There are two primary schools of thought in contemporary debates on the causes of India's debt crisis: those linked to changes in the world economy and those connected to errors in domestic policy. Because of the instability of the world economy, developing countries like India are forced to borrow money from national and international institutions to make up the difference in their spending. For these capital-poor economies to improve their capital stock and stable levels of per capita output, borrowing is considered essential. According to conventional economic theory, public debt can temporarily increase economic development by promoting aggregate demand. Nonetheless, the majority of empirical research conducted in many nations shows that public debt and long-term economic growth are negatively correlated. Theoretically, it is still unclear how much public debt has contributed to India's economic expansion. The purpose of this study was to investigate how public debt affected India's economic growth from 1991 and 2022. The study looked at the connection between India's economic expansion and public debt. The report suggests that borrowed money be used to diversify the productive capacities of the economy and advises cautious management of governmental debts. This would produce sufficient resources to settle the obligations without having a negative impact on the economy.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: LeBlanc Aaron
Published: August 2024

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are commonly encountered diseases in clinical practice, and there appears to be a bidirectional relationship between these 2 diseases. The presence of OSA can increase the risk of developing T2D, increase the risk of micro- and macro-vascular complications, and increase the risk of mortality. Several management strategies are available that can positively impact the outcomes of patients living with co-existing T2D and OSA. Given this bidirectional relationship, the negative consequences of untreated OSA on outcomes in T2D, along with the currently available management strategies, screening for OSA in patients with T2D should be considered.

Virtual dissection table case studies for undergraduate neuroanatomy written assignments
Authors: Wang Joshua ,   Queensland University of Technology, Beecher Kate ,   University of Queensland, Chehrehasa Fatemeh ,   Queensland University of Technology
Published: August 2024

Neuroanatomy education benefits from cadaveric specimens, yet challenges with access, cost, and health concerns exist. Virtual Dissection Tables (VDTs) offer digital alternatives to traditional cadaveric learning. This article evaluates the pedagogical value of VDTs in undergraduate neuroanatomy education. While VDTs, primarily Anatomage, offer interactive 3D cadaveric images and customization options, research on their impact on neuroanatomy learning outcomes remains limited. Existing studies suggest comparable knowledge retention between VDTs and cadaveric learning, with varying effects on student satisfaction. However, investigations of non-exam-based neuroanatomy assessments are scarce. This study presents a case study using VDTs as the basis for a neuroscience assignment report, exploring its construction, and evaluating its strengths, and weaknesses through a student survey. Implemented in an advanced neuroscience course, the assignment involves analyzing 3D reconstructed MRI scans of neuropathological conditions displayed on the VDT. The task requires students to collate, analyze, and predict symptoms based on the pathology observed, aligning their findings with neuroscience literature. This innovative approach aims to enhance research and academic writing skills while expanding the use of VDTs beyond traditional assessment formats in neuroscience education. We found that the case-study format utilized benefited students’ neuroanatomy learning and application ability. However, further studies should be conducted to understand the effect of VDT use on learning outcomes in case study contexts.
Neurosimilator for Undergraduate Biophysics and Neurophysiology Courses

Published: August 2024

The animal welfare principles are forcing undergraduate teaching to avoid the use of animals. Therefore, many hands-on lab sessions using laboratory animals are progressively replaced by computer simulations. These versatile software simulations permit the observation of the behavior of biological systems under a great variety of experimental conditions. While this versatility is important, computer simulations often work even when a student makes wrong assumptions, a situation that poses its own pedagogical problem. Hands-on learning provides pupils with the opportunity to safely make mistakes and learn organically through trial and error and should therefore still be promoted.We propose an electronic model of an excitable cell composed of different modules representing different parts of a neuron - dendrites, soma, axon and node of Ranvier. We describe a series of experiments that allow students to better understand differences between passive and active cell responses and differences between myelinated and demyelinated axons. These circuits can also be used to demonstrate temporal and spatial summation of signals coming to the neuron via dendrites, as well as the neuron coding by firing frequency. Finally, they permit experimental determination along with theoretical calculations of important biophysical properties of excitable cells, such as rheobase, chronaxie and space constant. This open-source model has been successfully integrated into undergraduate course of the physiology of excitable cells and student feedback assessment reveals that it helped students to understand important notions of the course. Thus, this neuromorphic circuit could be valuable tool for biophysics and neurosciences courses in other universities.

Published: August 2024

With grant support from the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) program funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), we established a program intended to increase the number of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (URM) and first-generation undergraduate students successfully applying to neuroscience and other STEM-related graduate programs. The Neuroscience Techniques and Research Training (NeuroSTART) Program aimed to increase the number of undergraduate students from the Memphis area involved in behavioral neuroscience research. In this two-semester program, students completed an empirical research project in a neuroscience lab, received individual mentoring from neuroscience faculty, became part of a STEM network, presented at research conferences, and attended specialized professional development seminars. In two cohorts of 15 students, 4 are PhD students in neuroscience-related programs or in medical school (27%), 4 are employed in neuroscience-related research facilities (27%), 3 are employed as clinical assistants (20%), and 1 is employed in the IT field (7%). The remaining three recently graduated and are planning a gap year prior to applying for admission to grad/medical school. The Memphis NeuroSTART program has provided valuable training to participants, making them competitive applicants for jobs in the health sciences and for admittance into graduate neuroscience programs. By providing this training to first-generation and URM students, the broader impact of this program was an increase in the diversity of the health sciences workforce, particularly those specializing in neuroscience-related research and treatment.
An in-depth Exploration of the Interplay between fMRI Methods and Theory in Cognitive Neuroscience
Authors: Huffman Derek ,   Colby College
Published: August 2024

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been a cornerstone of cognitive neuroscience since its invention in the 1990s. The methods that we use for fMRI data analysis allow us to test different theories of the brain, thus different analyses can lead us to different conclusions about how the brain produces cognition. There has been a centuries-long debate about the nature of neural processing, with some theories arguing for functional specialization or localization (e.g., face and scene processing) while other theories suggest that cognition is implemented in distributed representations across many neurons and brain regions. Importantly, these theories have received support via different types of analyses; therefore, having students implement hands-on data analysis to explore the results of different fMRI analyses can allow them to take a firsthand approach to thinking about highly influential theories in cognitive neuroscience. Moreover, these explorations allow students to see that there are not clearcut “right” or “wrong” answers in cognitive neuroscience, rather we effectively instantiate assumptions within our analytical approaches that can lead us to different conclusions. Here, I provide Python code that uses freely available software and data to teach students how to analyze fMRI data using traditional activation analysis and machine-learning-based multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA). Altogether, these resources help teach students about the paramount importance of methodology in shaping our theories of the brain, and I believe they will be helpful for introductory undergraduate courses, graduate-level courses, and as a first analysis for people working in labs that use fMRI.

Published: August 2024

In the present study, the current status of medical waste management in the city of Hodeidah was presented in terms of its definition, components, sources, and threats that may result from improper handling. This investi-gation aims to study the potential environmental and health impacts of existing medical waste produced by the government hospitals and healthcare entities in Hodeidah City, in addition to comparing the applied methods and procedures with the methods and procedures that are applied in developed countries. The research study was carried out from January 2022 until January 2023, and targeted ten government hospitals and healthcare institutions in Hodeidah City. It relied on descriptive and analytical scientific methods, which aim to describe and analyze medical solid waste generated from the selected institutions. The result of the study showed that the total quantities of waste produced in all studied government health facilities amounted to approximately 599,038 kg/year. The percentage of non-hazardous waste was about 67% against hazardous waste which was 33%. Hospitals that receive more patients and have more beds as well as a multiplicity of their specialties generate larger medical wastes. The present research investigation revealed that government hospitals and healthcare centers in the city of Al-Hodeidah have low levels of health and safety conditions. They do not meet the local and international standards and requirements in the Medical Waste Management Guides and Recommendations. The poor management situation of medical waste could expose Yemeni citizens to danger. The healthcare insti-tutions should be supervised and controlled and ensure management of medical waste following environmental regulations and laws.

This research aims to determine: 1) the difficulties faced by students in beginning reading, 2) teachers' efforts to overcome students' beginning reading difficulties, and 3) factors that cause difficulties in beginning reading. This research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The research subjects were 14 students in class II of SD Inpres Bumi Sagu. Data was collected using observation, interviews and document study techniques. The data analysis used is data condensation, data presentation and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of this research show that the difficulties experienced by students in beginning reading are that they do not know letters, are slow in reading, students cannot yet read, letters and words are often confused, and have difficulty spelling. The factors that cause students to experience difficulty in reading at the beginning are internal factors which include the child's psychology and external factors, namely the family environment and the learning environment at school.

The principal aim of the study was evaluating the pharmacokinetic of ceftriaxone and meropenem in dogs, eight healthy male dogs were used for this experiment. A microbiological assay was used to determine the pharmacokinetic indices of ceftriaxone and meropenem given intravenously. The values were then fitted to a two-compartment pharmacokinetic open model in order to assess the factors related to distribution and excretion. The obtained results showed that the half-life, volume of distribution, and total body clearance to the samples of plasma of ceftriaxone and meropenem were recorded (0.83 h., 0.35 L/kg and 0.28 L/hr/kg), (0.86 h., 0.48 L/kg and 0.33 L/hr/kg), and the ratio of plasma protein binding were 16.67 %; 9.58 %, respectively.
 In conclusion, through the pharmacokinetic characteristics of meropenem and ceftriaxone in dogs, they possess an efficacious profile against K. pneumonia as same as other sensitive bacteria which were qualified to be a potential candidate to be one of the most commonly used parenterally administered antibacterial medicines in the treatment of acute bacterial cases that need to be treated quickly in veterinary therapy. However, the differences in the pharmacokinetic profile proved that the effectiveness of meropenem was more than ceftriaxone.

Authors: Shijun Cui , Ismail@Kamal Julina
Published: August 2024

Existentialism, after over a century of development, has evolved from a philosophical idea into a way of life. In recent years, a group known as "refined egoists" has emerged in both reality and animated works. The appearance of these extreme existentialists who ignore social responsibility reveals that in this era of transition between old and new ideologies, existentialist thought has awakened in people's value systems. This article intends to analyze the external manifestations of character’s existentialism in animation works to summarize the reflections of objective phenomena in reality and to discuss the contradictions and problems that the current young generation are facing between themselves and society. This article uses qualitative research methods to analyze representative characters from three animated series, The Outcast, Killer Seven, and Incarnation, and uses a thematic analysis method that combines existentialism theory to summarize the external manifestations of characters in terms of their internal conflicts, conflicts between individuals, and conflicts between individuals and society. These manifestations include the denial of determinism, affirmation of subjectivity under relative justice, identification with minority groups, denial of authority, and autonomous choice of values. Young generation people are confronted with unprecedentedly great uncertainty and insecurity brought about by the freedom of choice, as well as the social reality of the gradual awakening of existentialist consciousness in contemporary society.

This research aims to understand the impact of e-commerce on consumer behavior in the retail sector by examining factors influencing e-commerce adoption, the challenges consumers face, and how digital transformations affect traditional businesses. The study gathered data from consumer surveys, government reports, and previous studies, using analytical models to understand the relationships between variables and their impact on consumer behavior. Survey results revealed that e-commerce has significantly changed purchasing habits among Saudis, with many preferring online shopping due to convenience and a wide range of options. The key drivers for e-commerce adoption include convenience, time savings, and product variety, while economic factors like competitive pricing play a significant role in attracting consumers. Trust and security in e-commerce platforms are critical, as consumers seek assurance regarding the protection of their financial information and product quality. Consumers face challenges such as product description accuracy, return difficulties, and concerns about data privacy. Digital transformation pressures traditional businesses to adopt digital strategies to remain competitive. Small businesses face difficulties adapting but show potential for innovation through partnerships with major e-commerce platforms.

To sustain this growth, companies need to invest in long-term strategies and diversify revenue streams. The Saudi government plays a crucial role in supporting this sector by improving digital infrastructure, enhancing cybersecurity, and supporting startups. By adopting these recommendations, the online shopping experience can be improved, ensuring customer satisfaction and the continued growth of this vital sector.
