Published: September 2022

Although international female students accounted for 44% of the enrolled international students in the United States (U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, 2020), their experiences regarding their ethnic name are relatively understudied in onomastic literature. This study considers the experiences of eight international female graduate students of Color who are studying at a Midwestern predominantly White university. Utilizing Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Critical Race Feminism (CRF) as the theoretical and analytical lenses, this qualitative phenomenological study collected data through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. We explore the meaning of ethnic names and their connection to participants’ multidimensional identities. Findings include experiences with microaggressions, discrimination, and racism among students in relation to their ethnic name, and point to underlying factors. Finally, implications are offered for students, faculty members, and administrators to build authentically inclusive and equitable learning communities more effectively.

Authors: Sunmonu Musliu Olushola , Fadeyibi Adeshina , Olalekan Mumeen Habeeb
Published: September 2022

Milk quality decline and proliferation of microorganism can be prevented by heat-treatment. This however can denature the nutrients under excessive processing condition. There is therefore a need to selectively apply and evaluate this technology for milk pasteurization. In this research, the performance of a novel 3-stage recyclable batch milk pasteurizer operating at varying temperature (63– 71 °C), stirring speed (15 – 25 rpm) and holding time (15 sec – 30 min) was determined. The equipment has a hot water storage, pasteurization, and cooling tanks, which maintain the temperature of the pasteurized milk sample to 3–5oC. The nutritional quality and the thermophile loads, including Streptococcus, Clostridium, Micrococcus, and Lactobacillus in the sample were determined as performance indices. The results show no significant trace of the thermophiles (p < 0.05) and a high value of the nutritional composition at 63°C, 25 rpm stirring speed and 15 min holding time. The quality of the product decreased progressively with an increase (p < 0.05) in the temperature and speed for all holding time. Thus, the equipment can be used for milk pasteurization with a reduced nutrient denaturation and thermophiles proliferation.

Published: September 2022

The amounts of carbohydrate, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash, and mineral elements (Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Sodium, and Zinc) in two kinds of rice grown in Igbemo-Ekiti, Ekiti State, were determined in this study. Using Gc-Ms spectrometric analysis, the fatty acids contained in the oil of Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima were identified. On a dry weight basis, the estimated carbohydrate content of rice samples ranged from 71.41 ± 0.37 to 74.02 ± 0.35 %, with no significant difference in carbohydrate content amongst the examined species, with Oryza glaberrima having the highest carbohydrate content. Protein levels ranged from 7.06 ±0.35 to 7.11 ± 0.20 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest protein content. The crude fat levels in the tubers ranged from 6.26 ± 0.04 to 7.18 ±0.17 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest level. The crude fiber content ranged from 3.02 ±0.32 to 3.77± 0.38 %, with Oryza sativa having the highest level and the ash content ranging from 0.51± 0.07 to 0.92± 0.32 %. Calcium, sodium, and potassium concentrations were all fairly high in both species. The Gc-Ms chromatogram indicated a wide range of bioactive chemicals, the majority of which were fatty acids. Linolenic acid, Arachidic acid, Palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, Myristoleic acid, and Capric acids were some of the primary chemical components detected in the Oryza sativa chromatogram, however monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids were found in lesser amounts. Linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, Myristoleic acid, Elaidic acid, Linolelaidic acid, stearic acid, and Behenic acid have been discovered in Oryza glaberrima, making them more favorable in nutrition and diet. The two Oryza types were found to be high in fatty acids, protein, and mineral content.

Authors: S. L. Modisapudi , E. T. Sebetha
Published: September 2022

The source of nitrogen fertilizer applied in the soil during the development of sorghum can affect the grain quality. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of sorghum grains as influenced by different nitrogen fertilizer sources and field conditions. The experiment used incorporated a 2x5x2 factorial arranged in a split-split plot design that was fitted into a randomized complete block design. Sorghum grain samples were analyzed for ash, fiber, fat, protein, and starch contents in percentages by using a Near-infrared spectroscopy machine. Nitrogen fertilizer source and had a significant effect on sorghum crude protein content during the 2018/19 planting season. The study indicated that nitrogen fertilizer sources such as limestone ammonium nitrate and urea are suitable for improving the quality of the sorghum grain. For example, limestone ammonium nitrate significantly improved the quality of the sorghum grain since it affected protein and starch content. Urea was also found to play a significant role in the grain quality as it affected the fiber and starch content of the grain. Field conditions had a significant effect on sorghum crude fiber and protein during the 2019/20 planting season. The increase in crude fiber under dryland field conditions proves that the quality of sorghum can be increased under no supplementary irrigation. This study, therefore, indicates that sorghum grain quality is influenced by the type of cultivar, the nitrogen fertilizer source, and the field conditions.

Published: September 2022

Background: Thalassaemia is an emerging global public health concern. It is considering as a rapidly growing major health burden for low- and middle income countries. The prevalence of thalassaemia is increasing in Bangladesh, indicates that thalassemia will be an emerging health burden for our country.
Objective: To assess the level of mental stress among parents with a thalassemic child.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the 141 parents with a thalassemic child in the purposively selected two hospitals’ Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Bangladesh Thalassemia Hospital in Dhaka. ‘Parental stress scale’ (PSS) was used to measure the level of stress.
Results: The mean age of the parents was 36.2±8.8 years and nearly two-thirds (63.8%) of them were aged below 40 years. Almost half of the participants (49.6%) and their spouses (59.6%) completed their education upto the higher secondary level. The mean monthly family income was 27,113.5±46,696.9 taka. More than half of the parent’s (53.2%) had low level of mental stress. The education, occupation, monthly family income, presence of >1 thalassaemic child in family, received blood from a voluntary blood donor, normal growth of thalassaemic child and history of thalassaemic child death were significantly associated with the level of mental stress by PSS scores of the parents (p<0.05). The level of stress was low among the parents, whose educational level was up to primary level (68.6%), occupation as a business (68.4%), monthly family income ≥50,001 taka (85.7%), presence of >1 beta thalassaemia major child (47.6%), received blood from a voluntary blood donor (50.0%), had a history of normal growth of thalassaemic child (60.4%) and had no history of thalassaemic child death (50.0%).
Conclusion: Existence of the children with thalassemia in a family cause massive stress and anxiety for parents. Psychological supports for them are essential as a part of comprehensive medical care along with clinical management of the thalassemic child. The burden of disease can be reduced through effective preventive approaches, such as carrier screening, prenatal counseling and diagnosis.

Published: September 2022

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer related death in males. The most common sites of prostate cancer metastases include bone and regional lymph nodes followed by lung, liver and brain. Peritoneal metastasis without skeletal involvement is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We present herein a patient of prostate cancer with omental metastases and peritoneal carcinomatosis accompanied by ascites but without bone metastases. The importance of this case report is to keep in mind that the lack of skeletal involvement does not exclude the possibility of distant metastases in prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can present with distant metastases in unexpected sites. The presence of ascites may indicate peritoneal involvement.

Agricultural Trade Liberalisation and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth Convergence in Africa
Authors: Sunge Regret , Ngepah Nicholas
Published: September 2022

Reducing income inequality in Africa rests on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth and convergence. Liberalizing agricultural trade has emerged as a force of agricultural TFP growth convergence. Notwithstanding increasing agricultural trade, TFP in Africa is falling while the differences in TFP growth rates remain wide. We provide evidence on the impact of agricultural trade liberalization on agricultural TFP growth convergence. We examine trade by origin, disaggregated into intra-Africa, and rest-of-the-world trade. Also, we recognize the uniqueness of agricultural trade liberalization and analyze the effect of the removal of trade-distorting agriculture support. Using maize and rice data for the period 2005-2016, we apply a Feasible-Generalized- Least-Squares estimation of panel data models derived from Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1990). We find evidence for both absolute and conditional convergence, which is stronger for maize. Moreover, agricultural trade openness speeds up TFP growth convergence for both crops. Convergence speed is higher for intra-Africa trade. Estimations on domestic agriculture support suggest that reduction of support beyond distortion-free levels enhances TFP growth convergence. Our findings call for more agricultural trade liberalization. We appeal that the recently launched Africa Continental Free Trade Area prioritizes intra-Africa agricultural trade liberalization and further elimination of trade-distorting domestic agriculture support.

Published: September 2022

The present study aimed to investigate the reproductive biology of Labeobarbus altianalis from River Kuja-Migori basin, Kenya. This fish species is distributed in most water bodies in the Lake Victoria basin and effluent rivers. Labeobarbus altianalis is susceptible to fishing due to aggregation at the river mouths during reproduction seasons. We conducted a study for 18 months with an objective of determining length at 50% sexual maturity, fecundity, gonadosomatic index, egg size, sex ratio and breeding season of L. altianalis. The results showed that breeding of this fish occurred from March to August and September to November coinciding with longer and shorter rain seasons. Fecundity ranged from 1320-2382 eggs (mean 1552 ± 23.3). There was a strong correlation between fecundity and total length (R2 = 0.994). The mean egg diameter was 1.2 ± 0.007 mm. Mean gonado-somatic index was 5.63 ± 0.34 and 2.24 ± 0.21 for females and males respectively. The length at 50% sexual maturity was estimated to be 16.3 cm and 18 cm total length for males and females respectively. There was no significant difference in sex ratio from the hypothetical 1:1 (χ2, p > 0.05). Females had low fecundity and males attain sexual maturity earlier than females. Results from this study provide important information for managing riverine fishery in the Lake Victoria basin.

PROBLEMÁTICA DE LA VIOLENCIA FAMILIAR EN TACNA
Authors: Cáceres Cáceres Milagros
Published: September 2022

Son innumerables las formas la violencia familiar. Puede pensarse en violencia hacia mayores, entre cónyuges, hacia niños, mujeres, hombres, discapacitados, etc. Además, siempre es difícil precisar un esquema típico familiar, debido a que la violencia puede ser física o psíquica, y ocurre en todas las clases sociales, culturas y edades. La violencia tiene sus raíces, en las condiciones sociales estructurales, que imperan dentro de un orden social establecido, donde impera la injusticia, el abandono, la explotación y la inmoralidad en el trato de sujetos que ejercen el poder contra los que no lo poseen. La familia, está inmersa dentro de un sistema social y cultural, por lo que las condiciones de pobreza y marginación o las formas de explotación y aprovechamiento se apresan a través de acciones violentistas.

 

Desde esta concepción, el estado, las autoridades y quienes ejercen el poder político en esta sociedad, son los primeros en ejercer y muchas veces legalizar los actos de violencia, a través de hechos injustos, en la distribución de la riqueza, expresados hoy en día en los altos sueldos de muchos funcionarios y la pobreza extrema de muchas de nuestras familias. Entonces, las familias, son en cierta forma, víctimas de un orden social económico injusto y violento, obligados a enfrentar situaciones extremas de convivencia, - por lo que muchos investigadores señalan que los estados de estrés, frustración y conflicto, al no ser satisfechas las necesidades más elementales, son canalizados a través de una conducta violenta contra los más vulnerables e indefensos. Sin embargo también los que tienen poder y riqueza practican la violencia social y familiar como una conducta de ejercer el dominio sobre los demás y mantener este orden social.

En la actualidad los anclajes extraorales dependen mucho de la colaboración del paciente y los anclajes intraorales son ineficientes y requieren de diseños complicados, la utilización de los micro implantes como anclaje para pacientes ha sido exitosa, sus principales ventajas son, que no depende de la colaboración del paciente, la técnica quirúrgica para su colocación es sencilla, reducen el tiempo de trabajo, proveen de anclaje absoluto, son de carga inmediata, de bajo costo y fácil remoción entre otras, las desventajas incluyen el riesgo de infección, perdida del implante y el compromiso de estructuras como las raíces dentarias o el seno maxilar durante el acto quirúrgico. Sin embargo, los implantes son eficaces para realizar un buen anclaje en ortodoncia y resiste las fuerzas de acción que mueven los dientes. Idealmente deben ser pequeños, fáciles de colocar, resistentes de cargas inmediatas y fáciles de remover.

La encefalocele se caracteriza por herniación de parte del encéfalo y de las meninges a través de un defecto craneal que puede ser congénito o adquirido (1,3). Como promedio se presenta entre un caso de cada 2.000 a 6.000 nacidos vivos, pero su incidencia varía considerablemente según las características geográficas y de población. Se presenta un recién nacido de sexo masculino, producto de la segunda gesta de una madre de 23 años, con embarazo controlado. Presento hiperémesis gravídica por lo que decide no tomar sulfato ferroso, ni ácido fólico. De parto por cesárea, producto del cual se presentó un recién nacido a término, edad gestacional de 37 semanas, de 2510 gramos de peso, 46 centímetros de longitud y 35 centímetros de perímetro cefálico. Examen Físico: Se observa tumoración que mide aproximadamente 14 cm x 13 cm, de bordes regulares, blanda, a nivel frontal derecho, ojo del mismo lado cubierto por tumoración. Exámenes auxiliares: Ecografía transfontanelar tumoración con contenido de masa encefálica sin lograr definirse adecuadamente dichas estructuras. Tomografía cerebral: Malformación congénita cerebral encefalocele fronto orbitario derecho con contenido encefálico y sistema ventriculares. Es dado de alta en condiciones estables y controles por el servicio de neurocirugía para ser programada para corrección quirúrgica del defecto en seis meses. La encefalocele es el resultado de la falla parcial del cierre anterior del tubo neural; más de la mitad de los casos se asocia a hidrocefalia con alteraciones del desarrollo cognitivo y motor (4). La encefalocele anterior es una herniación fronto-nasal de cerebro y/o meninges a través de un defecto óseo. Es una entidad rara y cuando ocurren se producen a nivel de la fontanela (frontal, esfenoidal) (2). El diagnóstico in útero mejora las expectativas; posee buen pronóstico con manejo quirúrgico, pues se puede resecar sin provocar incapacidad funcional importante.

La calidad de la atención ha adquirido importancia en las últimas décadas en relación con el debate sobre los derechos de los pacientes y el derecho a la salud. Si bien la evaluación de esa calidad es importante para lograr resultados positivos en el estado de la salud de la población, la atención de la salud implica acciones que exceden el campo de la medicina y reclama un trabajo interdisciplinario. Asimismo, los usuarios de los servicios de la salud deben ser participes activos a la hora de establecer necesidades y de planificar las estrategias tendientes a satisfacer las demandas. Objetivo: determinar la percepción de la calidad de la atención en pacientes hospitalizados en el servicio de ginecología y obstetricia del Hospital de Huancavelica, 2013. Material y Metodología un estudio de tipo básica, con un diseño no experimental transversal, descriptivo correlacional, la población del estudio estuvo constituida por 68 pacientes, habiéndose aplicado la técnica de la encuesta con un cuestionario de calidad de atención dirigida a los pacientes hospitalizados en el servicio de ginecología y obstetricia; Resultados: se determinó que las pacientes hospitalizadas del Servicio de Ginecología del Hospital de Huancavelica tienen una Percepción de la Calidad en términos generales del 61.76% con un nivel ALTO, el 32.35% un nivel MEDIO y el 5.88% un nivel BAJO; en lo que se refiere a la calidad de atención en la dimensión de capacidades y competencias del personal de salud se obtuvo un nivel ALTO con un 64.71%, el 29.41% nivel MEDIO y el 5.88% un nivel BAJO lo que contrarresta con la percepción en cuanto a las instalaciones donde el 58.85% perciben un nivel medio; lo que nos indica que la mayoría de pacientes obtuvieron un nivel alto de percepción de la Calidad en el Hospital de Huancavelica.

Introducción: Objetivo: Valorar los beneficios antioxidantes de la fruta de guayaba (Psidium guajava) rojo y blanco. Material y Métodos: Se evaluó en laboratorios de la Universidad Nacional de Medellín Colombia las características físicas de la fruta como color, tamaño, apariencia y madurez. Para determinar sus niveles antioxidantes, se realizó el proceso de liofilización en el Centro Nacional de Aprendizaje SENA, en las instalaciones de CAISA. Las muestras se llevaron congeladas y se pusieron en un liofilizador marca FREEZONE 4.5 por el transcurso de 32. Los análisis físicoquímicos se realizaron por duplicado siguiendo los métodos oficiales para determinar acidez libre, humedad, cenizas, pH y nitrógeno. Resultados: Se trabaja con el método ABTS que permite construir la curva patrón o de referencia utilizando el reactivo de referencia Trolox, empleando soluciones en un rango de concentraciones de 2 a 18 M, por triplicado; y el método DPPH desarrollado por Brand-Willams, que evalúa la capacidad de las muestras para atrapar el radical DPPH, por medio de la variación en la absorbancia leída, luego de 30 minutos de reacción. Conclusión: Las terapias antioxidantes basadas en dietas compuestas de frutas ricas en antioxidantes como la guayaba, parecen prevenir o al menos restringir el deterioro funcional del organismo que se origina por un incremento del estrés oxidativo.
