RAIZES DA NEUROFOBIA
Authors: Gama Renato Faria da
Published: October 2023

Os fenômenos da natureza têm produzido o espanto desde os primórdios da
existência humana. Dentre os mistérios que permanecem encobertos por muitos véus
está a busca pelo sentido da existência e as complexas articulações inerentes ao ser
no mundo. A pesquisa médica tem proposto um processo de desvelamento de alguns
desses fenômenos e o ensino da medicina faz parte de uma das possibilidades de
descobertas e compartilhamentos, que pretendem a abertura para a experimentação
de uma existência coletiva mais significativa. Dentre as múltiplas facetas que
compõem a educação médica, encontra-se o ensino neurológico, permeado de
peculiaridades que têm sido investigadas mais amiúde a partir da década de 1990.
Em meio aos diversos desafios identificados no ensino-aprendizagem da neurologia,
destaca-se a dificuldade de aplicar conhecimentos apreendidos da neurociência
básica ao cotidiano da clínica neurológica, o que tem sido denominado de neurofobia.
Este estudo foi motivado pela curiosidade a respeito das origens desse fenômeno e
pelo desejo de investigá-lo por meio de ferramentas que habitualmente não são
aplicadas nas pesquisas médicas. Para tanto, um trabalho de parceria entre autor e
orientador foi desenvolvido ao longo deste período de formação doutoral, quando o
fenômeno da neurofobia foi observado através das lentes de diferentes áreas do
conhecimento. A pesquisa teórica ensejou a confecção de um instrumento que,
aplicado a estudantes de medicina, corroborou muitas das hipóteses preliminares
deste estudo. Também foi possível identificar uma série de possibilidades de
ajustamentos na intervenção educacional, cuja utilidade para mitigação dos impactos
da neurofobia podem ser experimentados em escolas médicas dos mais diferentes
perfis. Guardadas as limitações de uma pesquisa circunscrita a uma realidade local,
este trabalho compartilha a experiência de observação e intervenção de um problema
identificado durante a educação médica e propõe a ampliação das discussões a
respeito dos modos como essa prática pode se desenvolver de forma mais
significativa, favorecendo que os futuros médicos, neurologistas ou não, estejam em
condições de oferecer assistência mais eficaz àqueles que receberão os seus
cuidados

Reverse Breech Extraction versus Vaginal Push before Uterine Incision during Cesarean Section with Fully Dilated Cervix and Impacted Fetal Head
Authors: Elsayed Elshamy , Abdelbar Sharaf , Abdelhamid Shaheen
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To compare between the two commonly used methods to deliver the fetus in emergency cesarean section with fully dilated cervix and impacted fetal head; vaginal push up of the fetal head and reverse breech extraction regarding safety and efficacy. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted 152 women underwent emergency CS with fully dilated cervix and impacted fetal head were divided into two groups; Group 1, vaginal push (n = 96) and Group 2, reverse breech delivery (n = 56). Data variables were collected and analyzed to evaluate whether either method is more safe regarding maternal and fetal outcomes. Results: There was a significant higher percentage of extension of uterine incision in group 1 (p = 0.002). Also, there were significant higher mean values of operative time and operative blood loss in group 1 (p = 0.008 and 0.015; respectively). On the other hand, there was a significantly shorter uterotomy to delivery time in group 1 (p < 0.001). There was a significantly higher mean value of APGAR score at one minute in group 1 (p = 0.043) but no significant difference between the two groups regarding APGAR score at five minutes, atonic PPH, postoperative blood transfusion and hospital stay. Conclusion: Vaginal push technique was associated with significantly higher intraoperative maternal morbidity but postoperative maternal morbidity and fetal outcomes were comparable between both groups. Push method (after uterine incision) is still the preferable method and larger studies are required to assess the fetal safety with reverse breech extraction.

Published: October 2023

Background: Postdated pregnancy is one of the most common obstetric problems associated with increased maternal morbidity, prenatal morbidity, and mortality. Pregnancy at 37-40 weeks of gestation is called the term from the last menstrual period. If the pregnancy exceeds 40 weeks, it is called a postdated pregnancy, but when pregnancy is prolonged beyond 42 weeks, it is called post-maturity or post-term pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to determine the adverse effects of postdate pregnancy on mothers and fetuses. Methodology: This was a descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional, hospital-based study conducted at Omdurman Maternity Hospital from January 2018 to June 2018. An interview questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were collected by trained doctors in the labor room. One hundred and thirty-eight (138) postdated pregnant women were included in this study after obtaining informed consent through a structured questionnaire. Demographic and clinical data concerning personal history, booking status, mode of delivery, maternal complications, and fetal complications were recorded. Results: During the study period, 2751 women delivered, of which 138 were postdated deliveries, with a prevalence of 5%. Most women's age range was 31-34 years 48.6%). Their education level was mostly secondary school (42%). Primigravida 65%), booked were 75.4%. Previous history of postdate pregnancy was 34.1%, normal vaginal delivery was 79 .7%, cesarean section was 14.5%, and instrumental delivery 5.8%. Cesarean section indications were cervical dystocia (14.4%), cephalopelvic disproportion (9.5%), meconium-stained liquor with fetal distress (33.3%), pathological cardiotocography (CTC) (19%), and failure to progress (23.8%). Maternal complications included post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) (7.2%), perineal tears (.7%, cervical tears (1.4%), and postpartum infections (1.4%). Fetal complications were 14.5%, Shoulder Dystocia 2.9%, asphyxia (6.5%), and meconium aspiration (5.1%). The mean APGAR score was 1.1667, less than three in only 3.6%, and > 7 in 86.9%. Neonatal death was 3%. Approximately 18 neonates were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive care unit (NICU) and only five of them were admitted for more than one week. Conclusion: Postdate pregnancy prevalence in this study was 5%, which was associated with maternal risk of cesarean section delivery, instrumental delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and postnatal infection.

Authors: Mateo Mediavilla I , Collado Yurrita LR , Ciudad MJ , Fernández Domínguez M , López-Píriz R
Published: October 2023

Background and objectives: Periodontal disease, as an inflammatory pathology, induces hemodynamic changes that can be evaluated by different unbiased methods such as laser Doppler flowmetry. This clinical investigation assesses laser Doppler as a non-invasive procedure to monitor gingival vascularization and its potential relationship with the response to treatment of periodontal disease. Materials & methods: 45 sites of white Spanish patients with active periodontitis undertake a complete periodontal analysis. This included periodontal pathogens identification along with the monitoring of the gingival margin microvascularization using a Doppler laser at the points exhibiting the most periodontal damage. All assessments were performed before and after periodontal combined treatment PCT (scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy prescription) (n = 45 sites). Results: Parameters of periodontal disease showed a positive correlation with pathogen levels. Blood flow readings decreased significantly after PCT (p < 0,05), although this parameter was not statistically correlated with periodontal nor microbial assessments in a significant range. Conclusion: Laser Doppler is a complementary method of monitoring periodontal inflammation to traditional techniques of clinical periodontal evaluation. Further studies are necessary to determine its usefulness as a predictive method of periodontal disease evolution.
Problem of Evil in Plotinus
Authors: Brito Martins Maria Manuela
Published: October 2023

First the aim of my study is to focus on Plotinus’s conception of evil, as presented in both Ennead I 8 [51]. However, this is not the only place that Plotinus speaks about this subject. In other treatises he speaks about the evil in a context of human freedom and destiny, like Ennead III, 1 [3, III, 2 [47] and III 3 [48] or in the Ennead IV 8 [6] On the descent of soul into bodies. The big difference between Enneads I, 8, and Enneads III and IV is that the treatises that touch on evil are being analyzed in terms of mainly anthropological and existential issues. On the contrary, in Ennead I 8 [51] the problem of evil has a mainly metaphysical and theodicy treatment. We will mainly analyze the notion of absolute evil, and its consequences for the notion of matter.

Second, we intend to address the possible esoteric influences on the issue of evil in Plotinus. We will try to argue that Plotinus, in the confrontation with the Gnostics, particularly in the treaty 33, that we find elements consonant with the treaty 51, and that come from a Christian and not a Gnostic influence. This one will be more esoteric than exoteric, contrary to the doctrine professed by certain Neoplatonists, after Plotinus, where exoteric and esoteric elements are mixed with philosophical thought.

Published: October 2023

Since the COVID-19 pandemic plagued the globe, there has been an increased reliance on technology for teaching and learning. Technology has become essential for the continuity of the teaching and learning process at various levels of study. In this technology-based teaching and learning, various approaches can be used to help students master learning content. One approach that is often used is flipped learning, which requires students to explore learning content before the class begins. The objective of this research is to identify students’ acceptance of flipped learning in second language acquisition classes based on Google applications. This is a descriptive study, and a questionnaire was distributed to students to determine their level of acceptance. The questionnaire focused on content design aspects, flipped learning, and Google applications. Additionally, students were asked to provide their reflections after participating in this type of learning. This research involved 85 students in the final year of the bachelor of Arabic studies program at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin in Malaysia. The collected data from the questionnaire was then analyzed to determine the mean value for each item to determine the level of student acceptance. While reflective writing is studied by identifying themes related to student acceptance. The study’s findings indicate that students had a high level of acceptance for learning Arabic with flipped learning via Google application. The students’ reflections were also positive, with themes emerging around increased knowledge, improved technology handling skills, the formation of more creative and critical thinking skills, and the positive impact of group activities. Flipped learning has great potential for implementation because students are more prepared to follow the class. Google application is an excellent choice because it is user-friendly and easily accessible.

Authors: Manrique-Suárez María Juliana , Martínez-Torres Wayra Valentina , Manrique-Mendoza Alexis René , Aljure Reales Vicente de Jesús
Published: October 2023

Introducción. Las hernias gigantes con pérdida de domicilio son aquellas cuyo saco herniario alcanza el punto medio del muslo en bipedestación y su contenido excede el volumen de la cavidad abdominal. Estas hernias son un reto quirúrgico dada la difícil reducción de su contenido y del cierre primario de la fascia. Tienen mayor riesgo de complicaciones asociadas al síndrome compartimental abdominal, así como mayor tasa de recurrencia y morbilidad en los pacientes.
Caso clínico. Paciente masculino de 81 años, reconsultante por hernia inguinoescrotal derecha gigante, de dos años de evolución, sintomática, con índice de Tanaka de 24 %. Se decidió aplicar el protocolo de neumoperitoneo secuencial (hasta 11.000 ml en total en cavidad) además de toxina botulínica en pared abdominal (dos sesiones).
Resultados. Se logró la corrección exitosa de la hernia inguinoescrotal gigante, sin recaídas de su patología abdomino-inguinal. El paciente manifestó satisfacción con el tratamiento un año después del procedimiento.
Conclusiones. El protocolo de neumoperitoneo secuencial es una alternativa en casos de hernias complejas, con alto riesgo de complicaciones, que requieren técnicas reconstructivas adicionales. La aplicación previa de toxina botulínica es un adyuvante considerable para aumentar la probabilidad de resultados favorables. Sin embargo, debe incentivarse la investigación en esta área para evaluar su efectividad.

Short-term magma-carbonate interaction: A modelling perspective
Authors: Colucci Simone , Brogi Federico , Montagna Chiara , Sottili Gianluca , Papale Paolo
Published: October 2023

The short-term, syn-eruptive interaction of magma with crustal carbonates can largely affect the eruptive style and drive even low-viscosity magmas toward large explosive eruptions. Only a few studies focus on the short-term interaction and the physical processes behind the experimental observations are still poorly understood. In this work, we study for the first time the short-term magma-carbonate interaction process through a modelling approach that provides an interpretative key of the experimental and field observations. We developed thermodynamic and dynamic models for the carbonate dissolution and the mixing and mingling between the contaminated magmapockets and the host magma. We find that mixing and mingling can play a central role in modulating the efficiency of volatile exsolution. The increasing viscosity of the host melt slows down the mingling, hence the mixing process, limiting volatile exsolution. Less efficient mixing and mingling imply that the fingerprints of the short-term magma-carbonate interaction can be preserved in the volcanic deposits. Finally, we highlight a key question that needs to be answered to constrain the mechanism and timescale of the carbonate dissolution process.
'IOS11': A new, extended, interactive version of the ‘Inclusion of Other in the Self’ scale
Authors: Baader Malte , starmer chris , Tufano Fabio , Gächter Simon
Published: October 2023

We introduce and test a new tool designed to measure “relationship closeness”. Studying relationship closeness has a long history in psychology and is currently expanding in other fields including economics. Our new measurement tool is a refinement of the widely used ‘Inclusion of Other in the Self’ scale (IOS for short) of Aron et al. (1992) and is designed to embody three key features. First, it retains attractive attributes of the standard IOS tool including being an effective measurement technique which is easy to implement and understand. Second, we enhance the scope for convenient use of the tool via the development of a portable interactive interface that will be particularly useful in online studies. Thirdly and crucially, through extensive pre-registered experimental testing, we demonstrate that our enhanced tool – IOS11 which features an 11-point response scale – outperforms previous versions of IOS in better proxying features of relationships captured by a range of more complex survey tools; the performance of IOS11 is also indistinguishable from that of the more complex ‘Oneness’ measure of Cialdini et al. (1997) which uses the standard IOS as one of its two-item inputs.

Authors: Mishchuk Mariia
Published: October 2023

The article deals with the pedagogical interpretation of the leading meanings of education in V. Zenkivskyi's pedagogy. The purpose of the article is to analyze and characterize the pedagogical views of V. Zenkivskyi. The research methods used are the following decisive ones: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical sources for the theoretical substantiation of the research problem, modelling, obtained data synthesis. Results. In the pedagogy of V. Zenkivskyi, special attention is paid to the interpretation of education and to setting the purpose and objectives of education in the light of the divine predestination, as well as the influence of the idea of the divine predestination in the development of the pupil’s personality. The providential nature of education in the pedagogy of V. Zenkivskyi subordinated both learning and all areas of child development. Thanks to the providentialist understanding of education, V. Zenkivskyi overcomes pedagogical relativism, which consists in a mistaken understanding of the «freedom» of choice presented to a student who cannot use it. The author of the article also states that orientation to providential principles in education is a necessary condition for accepting the V. Zenkivskyi’s educational concept, which cannot be separated into components and used in line with other pedagogical currents, it cannot be analyzed «biased» from the point of view of other philosophical and religious attitudes. Conclusions. The benefit of this study is rtghe author’s conclusion that the pedagogical views of V. Zenkivskyi are conductively oriented and based on the spirituality and creative potential of the individual, which helps to reproduce and philosophically understand the integrity of the pedagogical existence, as well as to comprehend the diversity of pedagogical interpretations of the history of world and national culture. Thus, the concept of education built by V. Zenkivskyi in the light of divine providence is of unconditional scientific and practical interest as one of the highly value sources of fruitful ideas, valuable methodological technologies, the creative understanding of theoretical and practical potential of which can contribute to the further development of pedagogical science.

Published: October 2023

Introduction. WHO experts point to the urgency of the problem of cardiovascular diseases, among which the first places are occupied by cerebral strokes (CS). With CS there are significant changes in the socio-psychological activities of the patient and the personal psychological characteristics of the individual due. Such changes provoke the development of certain psychological disorders, which are characterized by an oppressed state, a persistent depressive state, the development of anxieties and fears, obsessive fixation on the transferred disease and worries about one's future, etc. That's why, the study of psychological characteristics of patients after СS is a relevant problem of great importance, which determined the direction of our research.
The aim: To investigate and analyze the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients after CS.
Materials and methods. Conducted a randomized controlled single-center prospective study case-control, which is based on the analysis of the results of psychological study of 300 patients after CS (main group) and 200 people of the control group for the period 2022-2023. The studied groups were randomized by age and gender. To study the psychological characteristics of patients after CS, we used two methods of diagnosing psychological conditions: the self-esteem scale of Spielberg Ch. D. and Khanin Yu.L. and the depression scale of Balashova T.I.
Results. Probably (p<0.001) among the subjects of the main group compared to the control, a significantly higher frequency of occurrence of medium and moderate levels of reactive anxiety (RA), personal anxiety (PA) and levels of depression (LD) was determined, in contrast to low, which was more often detected among the persons control group. It was determined that the levels of RA, PA and depression were reliably significantly higher in the main group compared to the control group and characterized the presence of fairly significant moderate anxiety and mild depression of situational or neurotic origin.
Conclusion. It has been proven probable (p<0.001) confirmation of the influence of an CS on the development of high levels of anxiety (both RA and PA) and depression.

Changes in the political situation in the country and in the world, the rupture of political and economic ties stimulated the development of public-private partnerships at all levels of government, including regional ones. Economic sanctions and political isolation became a stimulus for the development of partnership relations between the state and investors; there was a "spillover" of resources and a change in the focus of investment in Russian markets. On the one hand, the withdrawal of foreign partners in the context of expanding sanctions makes it necessary to search for new partners and resources in a short period of time; on the other hand, it takes time to build trusting relationships, and they are built with the help of budgetary funds as well. The aim of the study is to analyze the situation in the development of public-private partnerships in the changing political environment. As the analysis of the materials shows, the structure of the implementation of partnership mechanisms has changed towards the social sphere, changes in the legislation of 2022-2023 demonstrate the expansion of the spheres of application of public-private partnership mechanisms, satisfying the social and economic interests of society, while at the same time tightening the requirements for partners and partnership.
Symptomatic radionecrosis after postoperative but not preoperative stereotactic radiosurgery in a single patient: illustrative case
Authors: Laurin Bryce J , Straza Michael , Noid George , Connelly Jennifer M , Mueller Wade M , Bovi Joseph , Krucoff Max O
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Standard of care for brain metastases involves stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). For cases that also require surgery because of lesion size, edema, or neurological symptoms, whether to provide pre- or postoperative SRS has become a prevalent debate.

OBSERVATIONS

Herein, the unique case of a patient with brain metastases of the same pathology and similar size in two different brain locations at two different times is described. The patient underwent surgery with preoperative SRS for the first lesion and surgery with postoperative SRS for the second lesion. Although both treatments resulted in successful local control, the location that received postoperative SRS developed symptomatic and rapidly progressive radiation necrosis (RN) requiring a third craniotomy.

LESSONS

Large randomized controlled trials are ongoing to compare pre- versus postoperative SRS for the treatment of symptomatic brain metastases (e.g., study NRG-BN012). Recent interest in preoperative SRS has emerged from its theoretical potential to decrease rates of postoperative RN and leptomeningeal disease. This valuable case in which both therapies were applied in a single patient with a single pathology and similar lesions provides evidence supportive of preoperative SRS.

BACKGROUND

Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumors (RGNTs) are rare tumors composed of mixed glial and neurocytic components. Most lesions are confined to the posterior fossa, especially in the region of the fourth ventricle, in young adults. In few instances, diffuse involvement of the supratentorial region is identified, thereby creating significant challenges in diagnosis, surgical intervention, and prognostication.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present a 23-year-old female with chronic headaches, papilledema, and hydrocephalus who underwent radiographic evaluation revealing obstructive hydrocephalus and diffuse supratentorial enhancing and nonenhancing cystic and nodular lesions. The patient underwent a right frontal craniotomy and septostomy. An exophytic nonenhancing right frontal horn lesion was resected, and an enhancing third-ventricular lesion was biopsied. Final pathology of both of the lesions sampled was consistent with RGNT. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated tumor alterations in the FGFR-1 and PIK3CA genes. Targeted therapy with the FGFR inhibitor erdafitinib demonstrated a partial remission.

LESSONS

Diffuse supratentorial spread of RGNT is an extremely rare presentation of an already uncommon pathology. In some cases, gross-total resection may not be feasible. Goals of surgery include acquiring tissue for diagnosis, maximizing safe resection, and treating any associated hydrocephalus. FGFR inhibitors may be of benefit in cases of disease progression.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИЙ САМОЗАХИСТ ЯК МАРКЕР ІНДИВІДУАЛЬНОГО ЗАХИСНОГО СТИЛЮ ОСОБИСТОСТІ
Authors: САФІН Олександр
Published: October 2023

У статті визначено місце психологічного самозахисту у структурі індивідуального захисного стилю особистості. Зокрема, зазначається, що реальна захисна поведінка являє собою єдину систему різних за своєю природою і функціями захисних компонентів, які формують індивідуальний захисний стиль особистості. Захисний стиль інтегрований у більш ґлобальні особистісні структури і може бути описаний через параметри, які за своєю природою не є захисними, проте відображають інтегративні особистісні властивості. Зв'язаність параметрів між собою формує стійкі патерни, які визначають загальну конфігурацію захисної поведінки особистості і формують цілісність її індивідуального захисного стилю.

During the last decade, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation with absorbable threads has become an important aspect of dermatologic practice, due to the increase in demand from patients who desire a more youthful appearance. It is a non-surgical procedure, safe, easy to perform, effective, with minimal recovery time and low risk of side effects, which allows improving skin texture, repositioning tissues and improving its flaccidity. We conducted a case report a of the clinical, histologic and ultrasonographic findings in a patient who underwent to this procedure and their concordance is demonstrated.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, a class of [Formula: see text]-Laplacian equations with critical growth is taken into consideration: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the ξ-Laplacian operator [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], λ and μ are positive parameters, [Formula: see text] is the Sobolev critical exponent. We use a primary technique of constrained minimization to determine the existence, energy estimate and convergence property of nodal (that is, sign-changing) solutions under appropriate conditions on g, and thus generalize the existing results.
Numerical Simulation Analysis of Embankment Deformation Using Reinforced Foam Lightweight Soil

Foam lightweight soil is a composite material obtained by adding foam into the cement slurry, which can quickly reduce the embankment settlement, but its tensile strength is low, and it is difficult to bear the cyclic load of vehicles. In order to improve the tensile properties of this material, steel bars were added to foam lightweight soil. In this paper, three-dimensional numerical analysis is carried out to obtain the deformation characteristics of the embankment with reinforced foam lightweight soil. The stress-strain relationship of the soil was given, and the changes in pore water pressure at different positions were analyzed to obtain the deformation of the embankment. The calculation shows that under the combined action of rainfall and vehicle load, the pore water pressure and deformation of the embankment soil are closely related to the magnitude and location of the vehicle load, with significant changes in the early stage and gradually stabilizing in the later stage; After the vertical deformation of the embankment, there will be a certain amount of rebound deformation, and the amount of rebound each time gradually decreases over time. The research results provide an important reference for the engineering application of foam lightweight soil.
Building the Concept of Just Transition in Law: Reflections on its Conceptual Framing, Structure and Content

Published: October 2023

This article focuses on the concept of just transition, which has recently greatly expanded in the climate debate, expressing the demand to adopt and implement climate policies leading to decarbonisation in a way that maintains equity and justice. Building on previous research on the concept of just transition in other disciplines of social sciences, and on the concept’s appearance in international climate law instruments and law literature, we analyse the just transition in the field of law. We seek to clarify its conceptual framing, to define its meaning, and to determine its position and limits in law. We then examine it vertically (for each level of law) and horizontally, addressing the main criteria that define its content, i.e., human rights and legal principles.
An alternative foundation of quantum theory
Authors: Helland Inge Svein
Published: October 2023

A new approach to quantum theory is proposed in this paper. The basis is taken to be theoretical variables, variables that may be accessible or inaccessible, i.e., it may be possible or impossible for an observer to assign arbitrarily sharp numerical values to them. In an epistemic process, the accessible variables are just ideal observations connected to an observer or to some communicating observers. Group actions are defined on these variables, and group representation theory is the basis for developing the Hilbert space formalism here. Operators corresponding to accessible theoretical variables are derived, and in the discrete case, it is proved that the possible physical values are the eigenvalues of these operators. The focus of the paper is some mathematical theorems paving the ground for the proposed foundation of quantum theory. It is shown here that the groups and transformations needed in this approach can be constructed explicitly in the case where the accessible variables are finite-dimensional. This simplifies the theory considerably: To reproduce the Hilbert space formulation, it is enough to assume the existence of two complementary variables. The essential use of inaccessible variables can be avoided by basing the approach on some simple category theory.The interpretation inferred from the proposed foundation here may be called a general epistemic interpretation of quantum theory. A special case of this interpretation is QBism; it also has a relationship to several other interpretations.
Examining Water Use and Sanitation Practices in Rural Schools of Chegutu District, Mashonaland West Province, Zimbabwe

Access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools is integral to the well-being of children and their right to quality education. The study examines water use and sanitation practices of selected rural secondary schools in Ward 11 and 29 of Chegutu District in Zimbabwe. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and published data. A total of 81 questionnaires investigating students’ hygiene practices, as well as their perceptions on service delivery, were issued to students. Data collected were analyzed using tables, graphs, pie chart, and descriptive statistics. The study concluded that the present WASH practices in many of the schools were not adequate. The reasons for low water and sanitation coverage included lack of a comprehensive policy and government will to effectively manage water and sanitation services, which to some extent affected the capacity of local authorities and schools to manage water and sanitation supply services in the past years. Despite support by community, civic society and Government, the impact of their contributions remains significant though insufficient. Inadequate capital to support and maintain WASH standards in schools, and lack of monitoring systems remain key challenges. Further support is required to meet international recommendations for healthy and gender-equitable schools.
Activity Patterns of Howler Monkeys in Captivity
Authors: Dougherty Grant
Published: October 2023

Howler monkeys are a diurnal genus of New World monkey whose diet may impact their frequency of activity and patterns of behavior. This study investigates this potential relationship by examining the activity frequency of black howler monkeys in captivity, where food is readily available. Captive howler monkeys were found to spend 77% of their time resting, 7% foraging or feeding, and 13% locomoting. When compared to wild specimens, these findings suggest that captivity and easy access to food are associated with more time resting, less time locomoting, and less time feeding or foraging. Future research should focus on investigating the effects of food accessibility on other primates in captivity to better understand how it influences their behavior and improve standards of captive primate care.
