Authors: Kamilah Muna , Abdullah Dahlan , Suwanda Rizki
Published: January 2025

This study aims to determine the nutritional status of toddlers in the Peulimbang sub-district using a clustering method that can group toddlers based on their dietary indicators, such as gender (jk), age (u), height (tb), weight (bb), and upper arm circumference (Lila). By using data analysis techniques such as K-Means clustering, this study successfully identified several groups of toddlers with different nutritional statuses, ranging from malnutrition to good nutrition to obesity nutritional status. The data for this study were taken directly from the Peulimbang Health Center, and as many as 765 toddler data were collected from 16 villages in the Peulimbang area. The programming language used in this study is PHP, which functions in web development and is often used to process data sent via web formula, interact with databases, and manage user sessions. Based on the results of clustering with the K-Means method using Euclidean Distance as a measurement between points, toddler data has been grouped into three Clusters, namely C1, C2, and C3. Cluster C1 covers 22.81% of 147 malnourished toddlers, C2 covers 48% of 323 well-nourished toddlers, and C3 covers 29.19% of 205 obese toddlers. Based on the clustering results, improving nutrition education programs for parents is essential, especially in areas with poor or lacking nutritional status. This program can include counseling on the importance of balanced nutrition, nutritious cooking methods, and choosing the right Food for toddlers. Thus, this study is expected to contribute to improving toddlers' nutritional status and overall public health in the Peulimbang District area.

Plateau Indians and the Quest for Spiritual Power, 1700-1850
Authors: Cebula Larry
Published: January 2025

Fusing myriad primary and secondary sources, historian Larry Cebula offers a compelling master narrative of the impact of Christianity on the Columbian Plateau peoples in the Pacific Northwest from 1700 to 1850.

For the Native peoples of the Columbian Plateau, the arrival of whites was understood primarily as a spiritual event, calling for religious explanations. Between 1700 and 1806, Native peoples of the Columbian Plateau experienced the presence of whites indirectly through the arrival of horses, some trade goods by long-distance exchange, and epidemic diseases that decimated their population and shook their faith in their religious beliefs. Many responded by participating in the Prophet Dance movement to restore their frayed links to the spirit world.

When whites arrived in the early nineteenth century, the Native peoples of the Columbian Plateau were more concerned with learning about white people's religious beliefs and spiritual power than with acquiring their trade goods; trading posts were seen as windows into another world rather than sources of goods. The whites’ strange appearance and seeming immunity to disease and the unique qualities of their goods and technologies suggested great spiritual power to the Native peoples. But disillusionment awaited: Catholic and Protestant missionaries came to teach the Native peoples about Christianity, yet these white spiritual practices failed to protect them from a new round of epidemic disease. By 1850, with their world devastatingly altered, most Plateau Indians had rejected Christianity
A Window into Six Centuries of World History : Liang Chih-Kung-T’u(“梁職貢圖”)
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Yun Yonggu
Published: January 2025

Liang Chih-kung-t’u(“梁職貢圖”) is a scroll painting depicting a portrait of a foreign envoy who visited Liang, China, and records the geography and customs of the country. The original has disappeared, and there are currently four types of copies made between Tang and Song.
The North Song copy(北宋模本) was discovered in 1960. There is a map of the envoys of the 12 countries and a title of the 13 countries. There are East Asian countries such as Baekje, but most of them are western countries on the Silk Road. It is regarded as a valuable source of research on Western history. Only the envoy's map remains in “Gudeokgyeom copy(顧德謙模本)” and “Yeripbon copy(閻立本模本)” which were rediscovered in 1987. The black-and-white and colored Shishin-t’u(使 臣圖) are regarded as valuable materials for the study of the history of painting and the history of clothing.
The book “Jang Gong copy(張庚模本)” which was discovered in 2011, has a title on the country of envoys from 18 countries. More than half of them, nine countries' ritual vessels play a major role in revitalizing the study of the “Liang Chih-kung-t’u” In particular, the “Liang Chih-kung-t’u” is considered a research topic that matches China's global strategy of “Belt and Road(一帶一路)” which began in earnest in 2013. This is the reason why research on “Liang Chih-kung-t’u” is active in China these days.
Image Formation and Transformation of White Porcelain during the Joseon Dynasty in the 15th and 16th Centuries
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Kim Kwihan
Published: January 2025

White porcelain, characterized by its purity and austerity, is often understood as a vessel symbolizing integrity. The widespread consumption of white porcelain during the Joseon Dynasty is closely related to the Neo-Confucian social climate that emphasized frugality. Discourses surrounding white porcelain in Neo-Confucian thought are crucial to understanding how its image was perceived by the consumers of the time. However, focusing solely on the ideals of purity and frugality—values upheld by the literati—limits a comprehensive grasp of their perceptions of white porcelain.
In the early Joseon period, white porcelain was selected as royal ware. According to the Gyeongguk Daejeon (經國大典) and its annotated version, Gyeongguk Daejeon Juhae(經國大典註解), both blue and white porcelain and white porcelain were designated as vessels for the king. This established the image of white porcelain as royal ware, spurring increased demand for it among the royal family and prominent literati families. White porcelain became a medium for displaying social status and power.
As demand for white porcelain grew, the royal family and literati projected Neo-Confucian virtues onto it. The crystal-clear nature of white porcelain was likened to the character of an exemplary gentleman. Among the motifs, the Sehansamu(歲寒三友, “Three Friends of Winter”) was the most common design found on 15th−16th century blue and white porcelain. The literati used these motifs to express the virtues of moral discipline, while the royal family emphasized loyalty through similar patterns. Thus, white porcelain, initially symbolized as royal ware, underwent a transformation into a medium embodying Neo-Confucian values. However, even in this transformed image, the focus was less on purity and frugality and more on projecting the virtues of loyalty demanded by the king from his officials, and the moral steadfastness and integrity pursued by the literati.
A Study on the Aesthetic Consciousness Represented in the Motif of the Flying Deities (Feitian) in Goguryeo Tomb Murals
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Lee Haiju
Published: January 2025

In this study, 36 representations of flying deities (feitian) depicted in Goguryeo tomb murals were analyzed, categorized based on the presence or absence of halos, the type of upper garment, and the length of the lower garment. Through this analysis, three distinct aesthetic principles were identified: ‘vitality expressed through the beauty of dynamic lines,’ ‘the elegance of supple and delicate human forms,’ and ‘a boundless and transcendent spirit.’ Section 3.1 examines how Goguryeo feitian evoke an impression of the Buddha’s world by actively soaring through relatively open spaces, emphasizing their dynamic movement, unencumbered by objects such as flowers or musical instruments. Furthermore, it was observed that the celestial robes (天衣), serving as both a means for flight and an element enhancing their mystical aura, transform in the Gangseo Tomb murals into plant-like tendrils, visually depicted as green calyxes blooming into red flowers. This reinterpretation of inanimate textiles as living plants reflects the vibrant aesthetic consciousness of the Goguryeo people. Such an aesthetic is not confined to Goguryeo tomb murals but was inherited and further developed in later periods, as exemplified by the feitian imagery of Unified Silla. This progression culminates in the artistic refinement seen in the offering feitian of the Great King Seongdeok Bell (聖德大王神鍾). Section 3.2 explores the aesthetic consciousness derived from the depiction of the feitian’s body (semi-nude) in a soft, flexible, and intricate manner. The increasingly precise portrayal of the human body in Goguryeo tomb murals, particularly through feitian imagery, reflects the Goguryeo people’s aesthetic sensibility, which sought the source of beauty in the human form. This phenomenon may have been influenced by Indo-Western Region culture and Buddhist perspectives on the human body. Additionally, the sustained representation of semi-nude feitian figures from the 5th to 7th centuries in Goguryeo is attributed to the lack of societal aversion to revealing the human body. This acceptance, combined with cultural exchanges with Western Region, finds precedent in the tradition of using bare-bodied depictions, such as the wrestlers in hand-to-hand combat scenes from the Anak Tomb No. 3, as a means of expressing religiosity. Section 3.3 focuses on the influence of semi-nude Buddhist feitian imagery on Daoist immortal (仙 人) iconography. The semi-nude immortal motif, unique to Goguryeo, is evidence of the adaptation of the Buddhist celestial being (feitian) motif to align with Goguryeo cultural contexts rather than a wholesale adoption of Chinese feitian. Furthermore, the distinctive free-flowing movements and gestures of Goguryeo feitian, which break from the rigid symmetry often seen in other representations, are interpreted as hallmarks of Goguryeo art. These features are argued to stem from the Goguryeo people’s unbounded worldview and independent spirit.
The Spatial Structure and Inhabitants of Goguryeo's Capital in the Ji'an Region
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Kwon Soonhong
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to examine the temporal changes in the spatial structure of Goguryeo's capital city in the Ji'an region, as well as the extent of residential areas and the composition of its inhabitants. When the capital was relocated from Huanren to Ji'an, the central area was situated in the western part of the Ji'an basin, around the Masangu area. From the 3rd century onward, the central area shifted to the Ji'an plain fortress, located in the central part of the Ji'an basin.
Based on the premise that the “directional administrative divisions”(방위명부) were closely related to the spatial organization and administrative structure of the capital, attention was given to the construction of a new plain capital in the mid-3rd century and the concurrent migration of ruling elites from the Na-bu (one of Goguryeo's administrative divisions) to the capital. Accordingly, it was interpreted that high-ranking officials, referred to by their specific Na-bu names, resided within the inner walls of the plain fortress, while relatively lower-ranking officials lived in the directional administrative divisions outside the fortress.
The composition of the capital's inhabitants was broadly classified into three groups: “urban aristocrats,” small households (小家), and the poor/lower classes. The “urban aristocrats,” referred to in historical records as “residential elites” or “great households”(大家), were defined as those who received food supplies in the form of taxes from outside the capital. Small households (小家) were not subordinate households paying taxes to the “urban aristocrats” but were defined as commoners who paid taxes directly to the king, state, or government. This group included self-sustaining farmers, urban artisans, lower-ranking officials, soldiers, and their families. Additionally, the existence of impoverished or lower-class individuals, such as tenant farmers who depended on the “urban aristocrats” and small households for survival, was also identified.
Assessing the Impact of Road Construction on Property Value in Selected Peri-Urban Areas in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: O. O. Ayodele, , I. Fayemi,
Published: January 2025

The value of real estate investments is significantly influenced by road infrastructure, which enhances accessibility and fosters urban development. This study examines the impact of road construction on property values in peri-urban areas of Ibadan, Oyo State, with a focus on the relationship between transportation infrastructure and real estate dynamics. Specifically, the research evaluates how developments along Akala Road and Ologuneru-Eruwa Road affect property rental and capital values. A cross-sectional design was employed, using questionnaires administered to property occupiers, estate surveyors, and investors. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and factor analysis to identify key factors influencing property values, such as road morphology, accessibility, and the effects of road construction. The study reveals mixed perceptions among 250 respondents, with road construction generally viewed as positively influencing business operations, reducing congestion, and encouraging property investment. Notably, 42% of respondents rated road expansion as moderately effective in causing property loss, while concerns about increased safety costs, air pollution, and noise pollution were also noted, with these factors being rated as moderately effective by most participants. Road construction was found to enhance accessibility, reduce traffic diversions, and increase vehicular speeds. However, respondents expressed concerns about property loss, increased crime rates, and environmental degradation, highlighting the complex nature of road construction’s impact on property values. The study underscores the need for comprehensive planning and mitigation strategies, recommending proactive communication with local communities to address concerns and ensure the positive impacts of road construction projects.

Published: January 2025

Pipe transportation is the process of sending liquid to end users from production point. Many works on pipeline transportation has been in existing for decade but most of the works were concerned with the transportation without giving regard to problem encountered during the transportation. In Nigeria transportation of gas was done through tankers because the use of pipeline has not been used in the gas distributions. This institutional based research proposal will shade more light on pipeline transportation its importance and problems associated with it. In considering the problems a one-dimensional homogeneous model which represents a system of partial differential equations to describe mathematically the transient gas flows in a pipe. The governing equation was solved using Implicit Steger-Warming flux vector splitting method. The method has the capability of taken care of any flow that involves propagation especially pipe flow system. The result of this work will served as a way forward for implementing gas transportation in Nigeria and in due course Zamfara since it is a mineral resource producing state, it is hope that there will be time gas reservoir will be discovered in the state.
Risk Mitigation Approach to Cyber Threat using AI-Driven Models for the Evolving Threat Landscape
Authors: J. Olanrewaju, , M. O. Togunde, , O. Akande,
Published: January 2025

This systematic review examines the effectiveness of AI-driven models in mitigating evolving cyber threats, using the PRISMA framework to analyze studies published between 2019 and 2024. The review focuses on machine learning techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning. Findings show that deep learning excels in detecting complex threats like Advance Persistent Threats (APTs) and zero-day vulnerabilities, while supervised learning (deep learning is also a supervised type of supervised learning, so be specific) is effective for known threats but struggles with new attack types. Unsupervised learning adapts well to dynamic environments but has higher false positive rates. The review proposes a multi-layered framework combining AI models with traditional security measures for enhanced threat detection and response. A hybrid approach is recommended as the most effective strategy, though challenges like data quality and algorithmic bias must be addressed for optimal implementation.

Authors: Yesyp Natalia
Published: January 2025

The objective: to determine the characteristics of pregnancy, childbirth and the condition of
newborns in pregnant women with an allogeneic fetus who received pregravid preparation and
pregnancy management according to the newly developed improved algorithm.
Materials and methods. 80 pregnant women examined prospectively were divided into
two groups: Group I (main) - 40 pregnant women who were involved in assisted reproductive
technologies (ART) programs using donor oocytes with the formation of an allogeneic fetus, who
received pregravid preparation and pregnancy management according to the newly developed
improved algorithm, Group II - 40 pregnant women who were involved in ART programs using
donor oocytes with the formation of an allogeneic fetus and whose management is planned to be
carried out according to the generally accepted algorithm.
A comparative clinical and statistical analysis of the characteristics of pregnancy, childbirth and
the status of newborn health in women of both groups was carried out. Statistical processing of
research results was carried out using the standard SPSS Statistics program.
Results. Among the patients of the Group I, the rates of threatened abortion at more than 12
weeks of pregnancy, ultrasound signs of retrochorial/retroamniotic hematoma detected both
before and after 12 weeks of pregnancy were significantly lower in comparison with the Group II.
The levels of gestational anemia, including the moderate anemia, were also significantly lower.
The women of the main group had significantly lower rates of registration of hypertensive disorders
during pregnancy, including mild/moderate preeclampsia, as well as fetal growth restriction. The
proportion of planned caesarean sections was significantly higher in the first group, and fetal
distress was recorded as an indication for the operation significantly less often in the patients of
the Group I in comparison to the Group II.
The mean weight of newborns was significantly higher in patients of the main group compared
to the second group, and the proportion of newborns of Group I with signs of asphyxia and
posthypoxic encephalopathy were significantly lower as compared to the Group II.
Conclusions. The decrease in the rates of obstetric and perinatal complications in pregnant
women with an allogeneic fetus, whose management was carried out according to the newly
developed improved algorithm, indicates the possibility of influencing the key pathophysiological
processes in the abovementioned conditions and the feasibility of the active implementation of
relevant treatment and preventive measures.

The objective: to learn the diagnostic value of biophysical type of fetus and laboratory research of amniotic liquid at physiology and pathological motion of pregnancy and births.Materials and methods. Under our supervision in clinical terms was 142 puerperas which acted on births to maternity establishments of different level. All the inspected acted with beginning of childbirth. From an incurrence there were eliminated puerperas with a multifetation, pelvic fetal presentation, anomalies of development of fetus and antenatal death of fetus. Most inspected was in active reproductive age. Middle age of inspected made 24,9±0,3 year. From the incurrence of inspected almost half (48,6%) were primipara, the last were multiparous. From the incurrence of women which acted on births, give birth great majority in the term of gestation of 38–41 week (59,9%). Births which were late took place in 19,7% women, and in the last 20,4% women pregnancy made off premature births in terms of gestation 22–37 weeks (19,8%). Results. Intercommunication of amount of amniotic fluid with the parameters of cardiac activity of fetus and blood stream in an uterine artery and artery umbilical cord was obvious. Resistance of blood stream in these vessels was increased as far as diminishing of amount of amniotic liquid. The term of births, amount of amniotic liquid and parameters of cardiotocogram and doppler, in births is associate. The study of hormonal status of amniotic liquid rotined in births, that content of estradiol during a childbirth had hesitated within the limits of 30–180 ng/ml. Found out a reliable difference between maintenance of this hormone in a amniotic liquid at birth of boys and girls. At birth of girls the index of estradiol arrived at 21,4±2,3 ng/ml, while at birth of boys a middle index of estradiol was at the level of 16,5±2,3 ng/ml. Although found out a difference and did not carry reliable character (р>0,05), this fact specifies on participating of fetus in making of amniotic liquid. Meantime, level of estradiol in a amniotic liquid at birth of boys and girls identically for certain rose at presence of obstetric pathology, such as a weakness of childbirth in combination with fetal distress (p<0,05).Conclusions. The results of the conducted researches rotined that took place intercommunication between the basic parameters of biophysical type of fetus: echographic, cardiotocographic and doppler from one side, and from other – with the results of biochemical and hormonal research of amniotic liquid. The got results it is possible to draw on at development of tactic of conduct of pregnancy and births for women with a high perinatal risk, especially at the change of volume of amniotic liquid.

Published: January 2025

Metabolic disorders forming the clinical state of obesity have a multifaceted nature with a complex pathogenesis of comorbid disorders. Particular attention should be paid to the study of the causes and mechanisms of the psychological status of young overweight women with impaired reproductive function. The objective: of this study was to conduct a clinical-psychological and experimental-psychological study of the role of psychosocial factors and eating behaviour in young overweight and obese women. Materials and methods.Two main groups of patients were examined: 50 overweight patients (BMI = 25.00–29.99 kg/m2) and 40 patients with obesity of the first degree (BMI = 30.00–34.99 kg/m2), the control group consisted of 30 women with normal body weight (BMI = 18.5–24.9 kg/m2). Experimentally, the psychological methodological program is represented by a set of methods: assessment of eating behaviour according to the Dutch Eating behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) and the Stunkard Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R18).Results. One third of patients in both main groups had features related to lifestyle changes or specific life episodes and conditions: childbirth (37.8%), stressful life situation (26.7%), smoking cessation (43.3%). The main complaints of patients in both groups were mood lability, anxiety (28.0%), irritability, increased fatigue, poor sleep quality, low mood, emotionality, tearfulness (38.0%). In obese patients, along with anxiety (47.5 %) and unstable mood (40.0%), manifestations of depression (15.0%) and aggression (5.0%) were noted, with increased emotional discomfort accompanied by high appetite and changes in the intensity of food cravings.In patients of the first group, the restrictive type of eating behaviour was diagnosed in almost two-thirds of the observations (74.0%), the emotionogenic type – in 68.0%, and the external type was noticed in 12.0% of the observations. In the second group, half of the patients showed high scores on the scales of the restrictive type (52.5%), emotionogenic type (32.5%), and external type (15.0%). Conclusions. The manifestations of emotionogenic and restrictive types of eating behaviour with high scores even at the initial stage in overweight patients can initiate metabolic disorders and lead to the development and progression of obesity.Keywords: obesity, overweight, psychoemotional manifestations, psychosocial risk factors, eating behaviou
The Future of Digital Marketing: AI-Driven Predictive Models for Hyper-Personalized Customer Experiences
Authors: Smita Singh
Published: January 2025

In today's digital world, businesses engage in what is known as digital marketing, which encompasses a range of strategies for interacting with customers online. All of these all-encompassing plans aim to attract, retain, and delight customers via a variety of means, including search engine optimization and social media marketing. The effectiveness of these strategies hinges on the concept of customer experience, which encompasses the entirety of a consumer's interactions with a brand across many touchpoints. From the initial stage of browsing to the help provided after the purchase, every interaction shapes the customer's impression of the firm. It is essential to prioritize great client experiences in order to increase loyalty and encourage repeat business, as satisfied consumers are more inclined to suggest the firm and remain loyal over time. Customers are loyal to brands because those brands consistently provide them with exceptional experiences that surpass their expectations and help them develop a personal connection to the brand. Digital marketing has a significant impact on these connections because it allows organizations to personalize content, deliver personalized messages, and facilitate seamless cross-channel engagements.

Published: January 2025

The rapid adoption of Quick Response (QR) payment systems has revolutionized financial transactions, offering a seamless, secure, and contactless alternative to traditional payment methods. This study investigates the determinants influencing the intention to use and actual use of QR payments in Sarawak, focusing on key factors such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived security. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical framework, data were collected through a survey of 396 respondents familiar with QR payment systems in Sarawak. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS software was employed to test hypotheses and validate the proposed model. Results reveal that perceived security has the most significant impact on behavioral intention, followed by perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Furthermore, behavioral intention strongly predicts actual QR payment usage. These findings provide critical insights for policymakers, service providers, and financial institutions in promoting QR payment adoption by addressing security concerns and enhancing user-friendly system designs. This study contributes to advancing Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda and supports efforts to foster a cashless society. However, the regional focus on Sarawak presents limitations in generalizing the findings to other contexts, offering avenues for future research.
Celebrating Diversity in Every Classroom: Culturally Responsive Perspectives on Video Analysis for Teacher Development
Authors: Henrikson Robin , Lau Wing Shuen
Published: January 2025

Teacher education programs and professional learning programs have increasingly offered opportunities for in-service teachers to engage in video analysis using pre-recorded video clips of teachers using instructional strategies. During the COVID-19 lockdown, teachers were only able to access online learning and teaching due to the inability to watch live classrooms in real time. In this thought piece, the authors advocate for the continued and intentional use of video observations of expert or master teachers that promote culturally responsive teaching (CRT). Integration of video observation and debriefs into teacher education programs for both preservice and in-service educators ought to not only demonstrate the application of instructional strategies being taught but would also deliberately showcase diverse master teachers and content areas in an effort to dismantle existing barriers to equitable education. While there is a persistent call for diversifying the teaching workforce, this can only be sustained with authentic and intentional efforts that ensure underrepresented pre-service and in-service teachers are reflected authentically and consistently throughout teacher preparation programs and curriculum.

Հոդվածում ներկայացվում է քնի օբստրուկտիվ ապնոէ-հիպոպնոէ (այսուհետ՝ ՔՕԱՀ) համախտանիշը, որը ներկայումս համարվում է լայն տարածում ունեցող հիվանդութուն: Նշվում է, որը Հայաստանում այն դեռևս մնում է թերախտորոշված և թերբուժված: Հոդվածում ներկայացվում է «քնի օբստրուկտիվ ապնոէ-հիպոպնոէ» հասկացությունը, ընգծվում, որ ՔՕԱՀ-ով հիվանդներին բնորոշ է ցերեկային քնկոտությունը, ուշադրության խանգարումը, զգոնության նվազումը, շարժումների համակարգման խանգարումը, ինչն էլ բարձրացնում է ճանապարհատրանսպորտային պատահարների ռիսկը:
Սույն հետազոտության մեջ ընդգրկված ծանր ՔՕԱՀ-ով հիվանդների 60%-ը ենթարկվել է ճանապարհատրանսպորտային պատահարների, իսկ 7.5%-ն ընդհանրապես ի վիճակի չի եղել մեքենա վարել քնկոտության պատճառով: Հոդվածում բերված արդյունքները, ինչպես նաև արտերկրների գործընկերների կատարված ուսումնասիրությունները վկայում են, որ չբուժված ՔՕԱՀ-ն մեծ ռիսկի գործոն է ճանապարհատրանսպորտային պատահարների համար: Ելնելով վերոնշյալ փաստից, շատ երկրներում վարորդական իրավունք չի տրվում ՔՕԱՀ ունեցող անձանց, եթե նրանք չեն ստանում համապատասխան բուժում:
Այս հետազոտության նպատակն է բարձրաձայնել խնդրի կարևորությունը, քանի որ տվյալ խնդիրը քիչ է ուսումնասիրված, ինչպես նաև պահանջում է հետագա հետազոտություն, ինչը թույլ կտա Հայաստանում ևս ներդնել աշխարհում կիրառվող մոտեցումները, որոնք գնահատում են անձի մոտ ՔՕԱՀ-ի առկայության հավանականությունը վարորդական իրավունք տրամադրելիս: Նման մոտեցման էֆեկտիվ կիրառումը, ըստ հեղինակի, կնպաստի ճանապարհատրանսպորտային պատահարների քանակի նվազեցմանը և կբարձացնի ճանապարհատրանսպորտային երթևեկության անվտանգությունը:
Բանալի բառեր. քնի օբստրուկտիվ ապնոէ-հիպոպնոէ համախտանիշ, ճանապարհատրանսպորտային պատահարներ, վարորդական իրավունք, համախտանիշի բուժում, ճանապարհատրանսպորտային երթևեկության անվտանգություն:
НЕПИТЬЕВОЙ СУРРОГАТНЫЙ АЛКОГОЛЬ В РОССИИ: ХИМИЧЕСКИЙ СОСТАВ ПО РЕЗУЛЬТАТАМ ГХ-МС АНАЛИЗА

Published: January 2025

Употребление непитьевого суррогатного алкоголя вместо алкогольных напитков достаточно широко распространено в определенных слоях населения России и связано с высокими рисками заболеваемости и смертности. В работе проведен газовый хромато-масс-спектрометрический анализ 104 образцов суррогатного алкоголя, приобретенного в России в городах с разной численностью населения и географического расположения. В результате исследования выявлено, что характерные газовые хромато-масс-спектрограммы непитьевого суррогатного алкоголя, который употребляется для питья вместо алкогольных напитков, имеют простой химический состав, а именно низкое содержание характерных действующих компонентов, что делает такой алкоголь экономически более доступным и органолептически пригодным для питья. Установлено, что химические компоненты некоторых разновидностей непитьевого суррогатного алкоголя, употребляемых для питья, способствуют увеличению их токсичности и повышают риск неблагоприятных исходов при их употреблении.
Ключевые слова: непитьевой алкоголь, суррогатный алкоголь, газовая хромато-масс-спектрометрия, наркология, опасное употребление алкоголя.

Resumo
Introdução: O Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) é uma doença pouco explorada na faixa etária pediátrica. No entanto, apresenta uma incidência que aumenta com o avançar de idade e, dessa forma, se classifica como uma das 10 principais causas de morte em crianças, sendo predominante em menores de 1 ano. Assim, este estudo objetiva analisar as taxas de internação e de mortalidade por AVC na população pediátrica brasileira. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e descritivo baseado em dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS no período de 2013-2022. Foram incluídos número de hospitalizações e óbitos por AVC na população entre 0-19 anos, excluindo-se registros ignorados ou em branco. Variáveis utilizadas foram faixa etária, sexo, ano do óbito e regiões brasileiras. Resultados: Registram-se 8.947 hospitalizações e 650 óbitos por AVC em pacientes pediátricos neste período. As regiões Nordeste e Sul contabilizaram maiores taxas de hospitalização, com o Nordeste apresentando maiores taxas de mortalidade. A maioria das ocorrências ocorreram entre 15-19 anos e identificou-se maior número de internações masculinas por AVC. Os óbitos também foram mais frequentes no sexo masculino, exceto na região Centro-Oeste. Discussão: Observa-se crescimento nas internações por AVC entre jovens brasileiros, desafiando a tendência anterior de queda. Esse aumento pode estar ligado ao impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 no acesso aos cuidados de saúde. Comparativamente, estudos anteriores mostraram uma redução nas taxas de mortalidade por AVC no país, sugerindo melhorias no tratamento e prevenção. Conclusões: O estudo indica um aumento recente nas hospitalizações por AVC em população pediátrica. Ressalta-se a necessidade de estratégias para reduzir as disparidades regionais e melhorar o acesso e a qualidade dos cuidados de saúde para essa população. Limitações do estudo incluem a subnotificação de casos e a dificuldade em estabelecer relações causais, apontando para a necessidade de mais pesquisas para entender as razões do aumento das taxas após 2019.

INTRODUÇÃO: Nas últimas décadas, estamos passando por um processo de envelhecimento populacional. Diante desse contexto e da negligência das famílias para com os idosos, surgiram as Instituições de Longa Permanência, que são consideradas um grande desafio na sociedade, já que, ao mesmo tempo, são vistas como abrigo para os idosos, mas, por outro lado, representam modificações negativas em seu cotidiano, na sua rotina e na sua saúde, seja física ou mental. Nesse contexto, as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PICs) surgem como forma de ampliar o bem-estar dos idosos institucionalizados, proporcionando melhora na saúde física, social, mental, emocional e espiritual. OBJETIVO: Abordar a relação das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS) na promoção do bem-estar e da qualidade de vida dos idosos institucionalizados. RELATO: Foi realizada uma intervenção em saúde em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência voltada para a terceira idade, a qual envolveu 21 idosos, 5 coordenadores locais do IFMSA, a fisioterapeuta da Instituição e alguns cuidadores. Foi utilizado momentos com arteterapia, musicoterapia e aromaterapia, com óleo essencial de lavanda, para relaxamento e conexão com os participantes. CONCLUSÃO: É possível concluir que a ação obteve êxito ao abordar as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS) na promoção da qualidade de vida dos idosos institucionalizados. A iniciativa proporcionou momentos de acolhimento, relaxamento e reconexão, consolidando-se como um passo relevante na promoção do bem-estar dessa população em instituições de longa permanência.
