Published: October 2022

Las hernias de la pared abdominal, es una enfermedad muy frecuente hoy en día y se define como la salida de una estructura sea tejido o algún órgano fuera de la cavidad abdominal. Tiene una prevalencia a nivel global de 1,7%, siendo más predominante en los varones que en mujeres. Su fisiopatología es muy extensa pero lo esencial a recordar es que las hernias abdominales pueden ser de origen congénito o adquirido y el estudio a nivel macroscópico nos ayuda a entender de mejor manera. Cada una de las hernias de la pared anterior tiene manifestaciones clínicas que las distinguen. Sin embargo, existen signos y síntomas generales: “bultos” ubicados en la pared abdominal, dolor al esfuerzo y obstrucción intestinal.El diagnóstico es principalmente clínico, sin embargo, se pueden emplear métodos diagnósticos de imagen como ultrasonido, tomografía y resonancia magnética, teniendo en cuenta que el método de elección será el ultrasonido. Las complicaciones dependen de diversos factores, como el tamaño herniario, el tratamiento quirúrgico empleado y los factores de riesgo relacionados con el paciente. Por lo tanto, se individualizarán para cada caso. El tratamiento es muy variable, debido a que existen algunos procedimientos que se pueden manejar a cada paciente, por lo tanto, es individualizado, debido que depende de factores como su sintomatología, tipo de urgencia, tamaño del defecto, morfología del orificio de la hernia, Diabetes, Hipertensión Arterial, obesidad, tabaquista y la edad del paciente se recomienda evaluar completamente al paciente para prevenir complicaciones, también es muy importante profilaxis de antibióticos.

Published: October 2022

El vólvulo del sigmoide o de la sigma (VS) se define comúnmente como una enfermedad que afecta a un segmento del colón, misma que fue descrita por primera vez en 1836bajo el cargo de Von Rokitansky, sin embargo, se cree que existe información con mayor antigüedad en el papiro de Ebers que se encuentra en Egipto. El VS comprende una torsión o rotación a nivel axial de una parte del intestino grueso, lugar con abundanteaire sobre su estrecho mesenterio. El objetivo se fundamenta en la realización de una revisión bibliográfica que comprenda una literatura y evidencia actual del VS. Se estableció una extensa búsqueda en varias bases de datos como: Scielo, Pubmed, UpToDate, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Trip Database e Intramed junto a los DESC (Descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud): Vólvulo Sigmoide, Colon Sigmoide, entre varios artículos originales entre ellos series de casos clínicos, estudios de diagnóstico y tratamiento respecto al manejo de VS. Se incluyeron 21 artículos en esta revisión, en donde se conocen factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de VS y el tratamiento exitoso se relaciona con un óptimo diagnóstico temprano y una oportuna actuación. Pese al conocimiento enel objetivo del manejo, existe controversia con el mismo, ya que una Sigmoidectomía diferida es considerada un procedimiento eficaz en aquellos pacientes en que la devolvulación endoscópica ha sido exitosa en la primera instancia.

Published: October 2022

Numerical and computer modelling have been playing a significant role in the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) process of many products over the most recent 60 years. Simulation offers extraordinary benefits in the turn of events and examination period of items and offers a quicker, better and more practical way than utilizing actual models alone. A leaf spring is the simplest type of suspension framework, widely used in heavy commercial vehicles. commercial simulation software and experimental analysis was carried out for the model of electric auto rickshaw leaf spring. Considering electric auto rickshaw’s own weight and seven passenger’s weight with factor of safety, the material selection for leaf spring was 50Cr1V23 which have good mechanical and chemical properties for using as leaf spring. Leaf spring was fabricated by using this alloy 50Cr1V23 for designed dimensions. Deflection and stress has been calculated theoretically for same load as commercial simulation software analysis. The computational analysis was carried out on commercial simulation software 18.2. In this research work leaf spring has been analysed using commercial simulation software static analysis considering inter-leaf contact, the stress distribution, strain and deflection obtained. The results highlight theoretical deflection, stress and strain compare with commercial simulation software results. The comparison results showed that results varied 8.9 % deflection and 7.33% stress in commercial simulation software results from theoretical results. Deflection vs. force, stress vs. strain graph plotted from commercial simulation software analysis results and graph showed that they were proportional to each other’s.

Authors: Aneja Kudrat
Published: October 2022

Forgiveness is a choice we make consciously in which initially a person feels inadequate or deceived but goes through changes in feelings, thoughts, or attitudes about a wrongdoer and tries to overcome negative feelings or emotions such as resentment or desire for revenge. If we let, go of moments that create agony in our lives and we can become free from the circle of pain. Mental well-being consists of emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects our way of thinking, feeling, and acting. It helps us to deal with negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, etc. Happiness is an emotional state attributed to feelings of satisfaction, delight, fulfillment, and well bring. The definition of spirituality has been modified over the years. In layman's terms, it is the search for the sacred. It is a holistic view involving life, mind, and spirit. Incorporates coming to terms with a feeling that something bigger than ourselves exists. Standardized scales were used to measure forgiveness, mental well-being, spirituality, and happiness among college students aged 18-25. The results found that mental well-being is significantly positively correlated to forgiveness & happiness & spirituality is significantly positively correlated with happiness & forgiveness. Students should give priority to their happiness, and mental well-being. They ought to take some time out of their hectic schedule, engage in self-introspection, and build a habit of consuming healthy food, getting good sleep, practicing meditation, sharing their troubles with their near and dear ones, etc. They should express their feelings to loved ones and seek help for their problems.

Examining Relations Between Parental Feedback Types and Preschool-Aged Children’s Academic Skills
Authors: Carver Chelsea E. , Duong Shirley , Bachman Heather , Votruba-Drzal Elizabeth , Libertus Melissa E.
Published: October 2022

Prior research has shown associations between parent and teacher feedback and school-aged children’s academic outcomes. Specifically, studies have demonstrated that positive feedback (i.e., praise and/or affirmation) is beneficial for children’s academic outcomes, while corrective feedback exhibits more mixed associations with children’s academic outcomes. Little is known about the relations between parental feedback and younger children’s academic skills. The present study examines the frequency of positive and corrective types of feedback provided by parents of 4-year-old children during semi-structured interactions, as well as how these feedback types relate to children’s concurrent math and language skills and their change in math skills over a one-year period. Parent-child dyads (n=91) were observed interacting with a picture book, grocery store set, and magnet board puzzle for 5 to 10 minutes each, after which they completed math and language assessments. Parental affirmation was positively and corrective feedback was negatively associated with children’s concurrent math outcomes, but only corrective feedback was uniquely negatively associated with children’s math outcomes when controlling for affirmations. Parental praise was individually and uniquely positively associated with children’s expressive vocabulary and change in math outcomes from age 4 to age 5. This study suggests that the relations between parental feedback and young children’s academic outcomes depend on the type of feedback and the outcome of interest (i.e., math vs language), which can inform how parents may want to provide feedback to facilitate learning.
Annual Ryegrass Control in Corn With Glyphosate plus Residual Herbicides Applied Preplant in the Spring
Authors: Soltani Nader , Willemse Christian , Sikkema Peter H.
Published: October 2022

Glyphosate needs to be partnered with other herbicides that have residual biological activity on ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) to improve the efficacy and consistency of annual ryegrass control in corn. Five field experiments were conducted from 2019 to 2021 near Exeter, Ontario to evaluate various glyphosate tank mixes applied preplant (PP) in the spring in corn for the control of annual ryegrass seeded as a cover crop in the fall of the previous year (2018 to 2020). At 1 week after application (WAA), all glyphosate tank mixes evaluated provided minimal annual ryegrass control (14-28%). At 2 WAA, the addition of dimethenamid-p/saflufenacil to glyphosate improved annual ryegrass control from 55% to 68%; there was no improvement in annual ryegrass control with the other 14 tank mixes evaluated. At 3 WAA, the addition of dimethenamid-p/saflufenacil and mesotrione + rimsulfuron to glyphosate controlled annual ryegrass 91 and 90%, respectively. At 4 WAA, the addition of dimethenamid-p, dimethenamid-p/saflufenacil, mesotrione + rimsulfuron, S-metholachlor, or bicyclopyrone/mesotrione/S-metolachlor to glyphosate improved annual ryegrass control 7, 7, 10, 8, and 6%, respectively. At 6 WAA, the addition of pyroxasulfone, pyroxasulfone + atrazine, dimethenamid-p, dimethenamid-p/saflufenacil, mesotrione + rimsulfuron, S-metholachlor, atrazine/S-metolachlor, or bicyclopyrone/mesotrione/S-metolachlor to glyphosate improved annual ryegrass control 10, 9, 12, 10, 17, 13, 10, and 12%, respectively but the addition of all other herbicides to glyphosate did not improve annual ryegrass control. Density and biomass reductions of annual ryegrass with glyphosate tank mix evaluated generally followed a similar trend as the visible control. Annual ryegrass interference reduced corn yield by up to 83% compared to the non-treated control. The addition of a residual herbicide to glyphosate did not result in an improvement in the seed yield of corn. Among the glyphosate tank mixes evaluated glyphosate + mesotrione + rimsulfuron provided the most consistent control of annual ryegrass in corn.
Soil Nematode Trophic Group Composition and Influence on Growth of Amaranthus palmeri and Parthenium hysterophorus
Authors: Garcia Orlando , Garibaldi Dana , Jhaveri Krissa , Lanoue Jake , Soti Pushpa
Published: October 2022

Weeds have a significant impact on agricultural systems. They not only cause a loss in crop yield by competing with them for resources, but they can also serve hosts for several pests and parasties such as plant parasitic nematodes casusing additional crop loss. The aim of this study was to analyze plant-nematode feedback in two major weeds, Amaranthus palmeri S Watson and Parthenium hysterophorus L. First, a field survey was conducted to determine the rhizosphere nematode trophic groups associated with these two plants in the summer of 2020 and 2021. Then a 6-week greenhouse study was conducted where the two weed species were treated with nematode communities extracted from their respective rhizospheres. Results from this study show that both weeds harbored a high number of herbivore nematodes, followed by fungivore and bacterivore nematodes. Total number of these nematodes were highly influenced by total sol carbon, pH and salinity. Under greenhouse conditions, the nematode treatment did not have any impact on the growth of P. hysterophorus but A. palmeri plants treated with nematodes had significantly higher above ground biomass. In conclusion, plant-nematode relationships are complex. Given the extent of direct damage caused by these weeds and plant parasitic nematodes in global crop production, the weeds-nematode feedback warrants further detailed studies.
Determination of Bioactive Compounds Against Bacterial Wilt of Potato (Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum sp. nov.) in Psidium guajava and Pelargonium zonale Leaf Extracts
Authors: Okeyo Gidraf Onduru , Charimbu Miriam Karwitha , Nyaanga Jane , Mendes Thiago
Published: October 2022

Common guava (Psidium guajava) and Pelargonium (Pelargonium zonale) have shown in-vitro antibacterial activity against Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum sp. nov. in previous studies. However, their phytochemical constituents and bioactive compounds against the pathogen have not been identified. The present study investigated the phytochemical components of P. guajava and P. zonale leaf extracts by phytochemical screening and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Phytochemical screening was done using different solvents while 100 mg of the dried ethanolic extract pastes from each plant sample was subjected to GC-MS analysis. Automated mass spectral deconvolution and identification system software (AMDIS, US) was used to analyze chromatograms and spectra representing individual compounds. Compound identification was performed by comparing each of the mass spectra with the database of NIST 11 (Gaithersburg, MD, USA), Wiley 7N (John Wiley, NY, USA) and by comparing the calculated Kovats linear retention indices using retention times of n-alkane series against the values in the NIST webbook. Flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids and tannins were detected in both plant samples. GC-MS analysis revealed presence of 35 and 26 compounds from P. zonale and P. guajava respectively. Both P. zonale and P. guajava had 7 similar compounds with antibacterial properties; Fumaric acid, Phytol, Pyrogallol, 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid, Shikimic acid, Protocatechuic acid and 3, 4, 5-Trihydroxybenzoic acid ethyl ester but P. zonale had one additional antibacterial compound; Lactic acid. In both cases, Shikimic acid had the highest percent peak areas of 3.2% for P. zonale and 6.8% P. guajava respectively. Therefore, P. zonale and P. guajava can serve as alternative sources of active ingredients for formulation of commercial botanicals for the management of bacterial wilt of potato.

Authors: Daba Tadessa , Disasa Tesfaye , Alemu Melaku
Published: October 2022

Ethiopia is one of the top African countries with fast population growth that requires technological interventions for improving agricultural production. Agriculture is entirely the source of food or nutrition security, raw material for agro-industries and export commodities for the country. The abrupt population increase augmented with challenges derived by climate change and newly emerging problems necessitate the use of modern plant breeding techniques. This paper provides insights of advancements in new crop improvement research, discourses associated with genetically engineered crops and biosafety frameworks in the country. Ethiopia has begun evaluation and use of genetically modified (GM) crops. The classical agricultural researches are being undertaken for more than five decades but require embracing modern tools to better address agricultural challenges. As compared to conventionally developed elite varieties, GM crops are found to be more advantageous based on their traits of interest in various ways. In handling GM research, there was no compromise on the biosafety procedures and regulations of the country. Bollworm resistant cotton, insect resistant and drought tolerant maize have already been evaluated incompliance with the country’s biosafety framework and released for general use while few GM crops are still under confined or contained evaluations. Opponents are emerging in the country with the adoption of the technology and misinformation is undergoing using various media outlets. Public research and regulatory institutes have been providing evidence based information using all possible means. Continuous public awareness enhancement is equally important with the adaptation and use of new technologies.
POSSIBILITY OF COORDINATION OF MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES

Authors: MARGARYAN Atom , TERZYAN Harutyun
Published: October 2022

Integration processes continue in the EEU. They move in different directions, increasing
the rate of circulation of goods, people and capital within the Union. In the developments taking place in the Union, special attention should be paid to innovative
processes, which are influenced by many factors of internal and external politics. In
general, the modernization of the EEU economy as a result of the use of advanced
technologies of the time is a very important agenda that should be pursued in all
member states. In this context, this study refers to the Kyrgyz economy, within the
framework of which the possibilities of coordinating monetary and fiscal policies in the
country were studied in terms of achieving two main goals: the maximum gross output
of the high-tech industry and the minimum levels of inflation. Based on the above
objectives, the dynamics of fiscal and monetary policy instruments and a number of
other economic indicators were considered in the research. Based on it, two econometric models were proposed, which were the winning functions of the proposed game model. After estimating the above models, the components of the game matrix were calculated. As a result of the observation of the matrix game, the partial possibilities of coordination of fiscal and monetary policies were shown.

The macroeconomic instability of a small open economy creates impediments for
effective policy making and stabile economic growth of the country. Armenia also
suffer from a problem of macroeconomic volatility. The article aims to analyze the
causes of this fluctuations, for which three vector autoregressive models were
constructed and estimated, which show the impact of partner countries’ macroeconomic
shocks to inflation, output, and real effective exchange rate of Armenia. The article also
refers to the possible channels through which these shocks can be transmitted to the
domestic economy. The results show that the macroeconomic fluctuations of Armenia is
more sensitive to the shocks of the Russian world oil prices, Federation’s output, the
interest rate of the US Federal Reserve and dollar’s real effective exchange rate.

Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the tax system in the state regulation of
the economy. The goals of taxation of modern state finances, the importance of taxes
from the point of view of economic justice and human rights were studied and analyzed,
as well as their role in the implementation of state functions and the financing of public
expenditures was highlighted. As a result of the analysis in the article, we came to the
conclusion that without taxes, governments would not be able to meet the demands of
their societies, because they collect taxes and direct them to finance state and public
projects and create a favorable business environment for economic growth in the
country. At the same time, we can note that the collection of taxes and duties is the main
means of obtaining public revenue for countries, which allows to finance investments in
human capital, infrastructure and provide services to citizens and enterprises.

After joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2003, Armenia further opened its
market for trade, which, however, is still limited by high transport costs due to the
country's geographical location and partially closed borders. Trade of goods passes
mainly through the territory of Georgia. In 2015, Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic
Union (EEU), which provides member countries with unhindered access to the
Armenian, Russian, Belarusian, Kazakh and Kyrgyz markets. Since June 2018, the
country has signed a number of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including
with Georgia and Japan, as well as the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership
Agreement with the United States and the EU (EU, 2020). For a small country, the
volume of exports and imports of goods and services is large, accounting for 91.3
percent of GDP in 2018 (World Bank, 2020c), and exports of goods and services

ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH ON MIGRATION, MOBILITY AND
TRANSNATIONALISM BETWEEN THE BALKANS AND EU MEMBERS
STATES
Authors: ZEMON Rubin
Published: October 2022

During the past decades, globalization has come within the purview of anthropology.
Today, migration, mobility and the social groups they produce – refugees, tourists, labour migrants – are on anthropology‘s research agenda. Increasingly, anthropologists study the cultural effects of the worldwide diffusion of commodities, technologies and media products, as new communication and transportation technologies bridge huge distances in ever briefer intervals of time, and release people from geographically restricted communities of interaction. Cultural artefacts – not just material things but also political ideas, scientific knowledge, images of the future and interpretations of the past – travel further and more swiftly than ever before. They are available simultaneously almost everywhere. However, their accessibility is restricted to those social actors who have the economic means or the cultural capital to make use of them.

Published: October 2022

It is without a doubt that technology and innovation play big roles in making some
countries manufacturing-savvy making them wealthier than others. Countries that encourage their firms to innovate, and those that invest in educating their people and
pushing the boundaries of science and technology, generally grow richer tmhan those that
do not. Yet the hope that ideas and technologies would flow across borders like air and be
adopted by poor countries letting them catch up quickly with the developed and rich
world, has been realized only in very little parts of the world. For example, Asian countries such as Japan, and later Taiwan, South Korea and China embraced many of the world’s latest technologies to build formidable manufacturing economies. But Africa was largely left out of the most recent waves of globalization, in which labor-intensive manufacturing moved out of Europe and America and into Asia. In the year 1990, African countries accounted for about only 9% of the developing world’s manufacturing output. By 2014 that share had further slumped to only 4%.

Authors: Saenal
Published: October 2022

The era of globalization can lead to changes in the lifestyle of a more modern society. As a result, people tend to choose a new culture that is considered more practical and simpler than the local culture. One of the factors that cause local culture to be forgotten in the present is; lack of future generations who have an interest in learning and inheriting their own culture. Therefore, this article aims to describe the efforts to maintain Indonesia culture in the era of globalization. According to Malinowski, higher and more active cultures will influence lower and passive cultures through culture contact.

The economic cycle plummeted because of the C-19 pandemic outbreak, how then the working class people who are required to maintain health and break the chain of C-19 development at the same time are forced to work to continue their survival. How many workers because of this epidemic they are infected and then laid off, the pattern of social inequality is very clear in social life, where workers who are actually in the lower class category must continue to do work directly while the elites work in a relaxed and safe manner from their homes (WFH). Every day cases of C-19 infection increase the government's policy regarding large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) is considered very ineffective because it cannot answer the confusion caused by this system in other fields.) Things like this then contract the thinking of the working class to resist by not believing or not being afraid of the C-19 epidemic on the pretext of religion "death has been determined by God" and other justifications, therefore we as a society must really be aware of the dangers and handling of the outbreak.

Published: October 2022

The University of Worcester has developed its curriculum to ensure students are able to demonstrate the new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)1 standards of proficiency for midwives – Domain 5: promoting excellence: the midwife as colleague, scholar and leader. Having a clear understanding of what students need to achieve enables clinicians to support and challenge the learning of students in their role as practice supervisors and assessors. While in the midst of Covid-19, it is clear that at the point of registration, all midwives need to be able to respond to rapidly changing services with resilience and confidence, and still question effectively the evidence that underpins decision making.

A Lens on South Africa: Understanding Breastfeeding Issues Within a Complex Landscape
Authors: Feeley Alison
Published: October 2022

Having spent 12 years in South Africa and as national nutrition officer at UNICEF, I gained invaluable experience working in rural and peri-urban settings. I witnessed vast challenges, largely for the most vulnerable: from high unemployment, poor infrastructure and housing to poor service delivery – and their consequences. This is a two-part article: part 1 focuses on infant feeding in the South African context, with a presentation of breastfeeding practices and their barriers. In part 2 to be published later this year, I provide an example of a community mobilisation initiative to support optimal infant and young child feeding practices.

No More ‘Hands off the Breech’
Authors: Walker Shawn
Published: October 2022

This article explores recent research about physiological breech birth and implications for midwifery practice, challenging whether some ‘common understandings’ for breech births are evidence based. For example, ‘hands off the breech’, has been the golden rule, but how long is it safe to remain hands off? If you have only been taught supine manoeuvres, should you ask the woman to give birth on her back for her baby’s safety? The article ends with a call for developing more local midwife breech specialists, working with one voice alongside their obstetric colleagues.
