Published: March 2023

Background and Aim:

Several factors are suggested to be associated with an increased risk of transforming from episodic migraine (EM) to chronic migraine (CM). We aimed to examine whether some specific attack triggers and comorbidities were associated with CM.

Methods:

Patients followed up with a diagnosis of definite migraine for at least 1 year were divided into two groups, EM (<15 attacks per month) and CM (>15 attacks per month). The demographic and clinical data, attack-triggering factors, and comorbid diseases were compared between the groups.

Results:

A total of 403 (286 females) patients were analyzed; 227 (56.3%) of the migraineurs had EM and 176 (43.7%) had CM. The mean age was 40.9 ± 11.3 years in EM, and 42.2 ± 11.7 years in CM. Disease duration was longer in CM compared with EM (P = 0.007). Missing meals (P = 0.044), exposure to heavy scents/perfumes (P = 0.012), intense physical activity (P = 0.037), and withdrawal of caffeine (P = 0.012) were reported significantly higher in CM than in EM. Comorbid history of medication overuse (P < 0.001), hypertension (P = 0.048), hyperlipidemia (P = 0.025), depression (P = 0.021), chronic painful health problems (P = 0.003), iron deficiency anemia (P = 0.006), and history of surgery (P = 0.006) were found significantly high in CM.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrates that attack-triggering factors, vascular comorbidities, depression, medication overuse, and chronic painful health problems pose significant risks for CM. Vascular comorbidities are independent risk factors for chronification in migraine and might increase the patient's lifetime morbidity and mortality. Therefore, prompt diagnosis of migraine before the transformation to chronicity and effective early management have the utmost importance.
Thyroid pathology, a clue to PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome
Authors: Lee Yurimi , Oh Young Lyun
Published: March 2023

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary disorder caused by germline inactivating mutations in the PTEN tumor suppressor gene. As a type of PHTS, Cowden syndrome is associated with abnormalities of the thyroid, breast, uterus, and gastrointestinal tract. A 52-year-old-woman visited the outpatient clinic of our endocrinology clinic with multiple thyroid nodules and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Computed tomography imaging revealed a multinodular mass measuring up to 3.5 cm in the left thyroid lobe, causing laryngotracheal airway displacement. The total thyroidectomy specimen revealed multiple follicular adenomas and adenomatous nodules with lymphocytic thyroiditis and lipomatous metaplasia in the background. The patient was suspected of PTHS based on her thyroid pathology, family history, and numerous hamartomatous lesions of the breast, uterus, and skin. Her diagnosis was confirmed through molecular testing. This case demonstrates that pathologists must be well acquainted with thyroid pathology in PHTS.

Implementation and Performance of Industry 4.0 Technologies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management: A Review of the Effects of Contingencies
Authors: Sheyadi Anwar Al
Published: March 2023

During the last decade, the 4th Industrial Revolution (4.0 IR) has attracted significant attention from both researchers and practitioners. The emergence of new 4.0 IR technologies promoted more investment in their adoption but at the same time raised more challenges to managers in identifying the actual implications of these technologies on organization performance. At the same time, empirical work on the relationship between 4.0 IR implementation and performance has reported mixed findings, and some recent studies suggest that researchers need to focus on exploring specific conditions that enable organizations to effectively translate their investment in developing 4.0 IR tools into positive performance. This paper argues that these inconclusive findings are partially caused by the lack of considering the contingency effects of other factors while examining these relations by previous empirical research and it explores the extent to which existing research has considered these contingency effects. Using the contingency theory of the firm, the above theoretical belief is theoretically discussed and established using outcomes reported by several empirical studies. The findings of this study provide several theoretical and practical implications and additional insights into the theory and practice of 4.0 IR in the logistics and supply chain management domain in particular.
From Fragmented Geopolitics to Geopolitical Resilience in International Business
Authors: Bozonelos Dino , Tsagdis Dimitrios
Published: March 2023

We provide a holistic framework for enhancing geopolitical resilience in IB, comprising four complimentary views (inside-in, inside-out, outside-in, and outside-out) along with actionable insights to key stakeholders (e.g., practitioners) grappling with geopolitics in IB. We recommend to: (i) treat geopolitics as an endogenous and continuous process, (ii) anticipate the effects of larger politico-economic dynamics, (iii) enhance resilience from an outside-out perspective, (iv) pursue multilevel analysis to that effect. Finally, we introduce a novel and more fundamental conceptualization of resilience to those encountered in the literature (e.g., of ‘bouncing back’, ‘above’, or ‘beyond’). Namely, ‘bouncing with’ the waves of contemporary geopolitics.

Published: March 2023

The study, which aims to examine the association between fear of intimacy, irrational thoughts and alexithymia in university students, was carried out in a correlational design based on a quantitative research approach. To collect the data, Fear-of-Intimacy Scale (FIS), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and Irrational Beliefs Test (IBT) were used. The data were analysed with SPSS software. Pearson Product Moments Correlation Coefficient was used to examine the associations among fear of intimacy, irrational thoughts and alexithymia. The result of correlation analysis showed that there is a statistically significant association between fear of intimacy and alexithymia. Hierarchical regression analysis was applied to determine the original contribution of irrational thoughts and alexithymia in the explanation of fear of intimacy. In the first step, the predictive strength of irrational thoughts, need for approval, high expectations, tendency to blame and fear of intimacy were examined. The first regression model was significant and accounted for 6.8% of the total variance of fear of intimacy. It was determined that the tendency to blame and helplessness contributed significantly to the model. In the second step, alexithymia was added to the model with sub-dimensions. The second regression model was significant and accounted for 23.5% of the total variance of fear of intimacy. When the R2 change values were examined, the original contribution of the sub-dimensions of alexithymia to the total variance of fear of intimacy was 16.7%.
CO-INTEGRATION ANALYSIS OF REMITTANCES, EXPORTS, AND GDP IN BANGLADESH: IMPLICATIONS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCTION
Authors: Afsana Jobayra , Sultana Mst. Naznin , Masroor Imtiaz
Published: March 2023

Remittances and exports are significant sources of foreign exchange earnings for developing nations. This study explores the relationship between remittances, exports, and economic development in Bangladesh. Using the Johansen co-integration approach, the study finds evidence of co-integration among the variables. The results also show that remittances have a significant positive effect on the gross domestic product (GDP) of Bangladesh, while exports do not have a direct impact on GDP. Furthermore, the Granger causality test reveals that there is no significant and positive relationship between remittances and exports. The study suggests that remittances play a vital role in the economic development of Bangladesh by creating employment opportunities, increasing the level of reserves amount, making payments on imports, balancing the balance of payments, and developing other socio-economic aspects. This is especially important in a country where unemployment is a significant issue, and every day the rate of unemployment is increasing. Therefore, policymakers should take into consideration the potential risks and benefits of migration and remittances and adopt appropriate policies to mitigate any negative impacts. Overall, this study contributes to the literature on the impact of remittances and exports on economic development and provides important policy implications for reducing unemployment in Bangladesh.

The study sought to accentuate instructional media use and the quality of learning outcomes in English language in public secondary schools. Its purpose was to determine the effect of instructional media use on the quality of learning outcomes in English language in public secondary schools in Mbooni East Sub-County, Makueni County. The study employed a mixed approach with a descriptive survey design. Data was collected from Extra County, County and Sub-county public secondary schools using questionnaires, interview schedules and tests for the students where a 97.33% response rate was achieved. The dependent variable was learning outcomes in English language among students in public secondary schools in Mbooni East Sub-county, Kenya while the independent variable was instructional media use. The target population was teachers of English, heads of languages department and form their students in the Sub-county. Simple random sampling was used to select the students while purposive sampling was used to select the teachers of English and the Heads of Department languages. A sample of 12 teachers, 12 heads of the languages department and 313 students were involved. The instruments’ validity was determined through expert opinion from the school of Education of Machakos University. The reliability of the instruments was ascertained during piloting a sample that was not part of the study. Two approaches were used in analyzing the data, that is, descriptive and thematic approaches for quantitative and qualitative respectively. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and presented in frequencies, means and percentages with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data which was thematically presented in prose. The study reveals that the quality of learning outcomes in English language in the sub-county is slightly below average, sub-county schools perform poorer and female students outshine their male counterparts. It was concluded that instructional media use enhances learning outcomes in English language. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should equip public schools with instructional resources. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Standards officers and school principals should emphasize to teachers to use instructional media in teaching English language. Parents and other stakeholders in schools through the Board of Management should also come up with strategies on how to provide instructional media for use by teachers to enhance learners’ quality of learning outcomes.

SITUATIONAL FACTORS: BASES FOR IMPROVING THE ATTITUDE AND MOTIVATION OF ESL LEARNERS’ SPEAKING SKILLS IN THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND LETTERS
Authors: Pineda, Jr. Florentino G. , Dela Cerna Issachar A.
Published: March 2023

This paper highlights the importance of enhancing the speaking skills among ESL freshmen in the College of Arts and Letters of Bulacan State University. The respondents in this study were Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication Major in Broadcasting Sections A to D. Although this course requires oral communication proficiency for global competitiveness, only a few students participate actively in classroom discussions. Many of them lag behind in terms of speaking skills. The ability to speak English has become the norm in the country and around the world. Graduates who possess such a skill can have better opportunities locally or internationally compared with those who cannot speak fluently. Hence, the researchers looked into the role of attitude and motivation in enhancing speaking skills among the respondents in terms of the following: demographics, the attitude of students toward English, situational factors affecting the attitude of students toward English, the motivation of students in learning English, and students’ beliefs about learning English. The research instrument was administered to the respondents via Google Forms. The 32-item questionnaire was designed to determine the attitudes and motivation of ESL students toward learning English. Each of the respondents was scored from 1-5 on a Likert Scale. Through the use of the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, Fisher Z-test, and P-Value in testing the hypotheses, data were analyzed and interpreted. The Likert Scales show the participants had an incredibly positive attitude and behavior toward English in general. Among all motivation items, the top factors affecting students to learn more in English are the Student’s Practical Purpose, Correction of the Teacher during Class, Communication Focused Class Activities, and Positive Atmosphere during class. Based on the findings of the study, language teachers should take advantage of motivation to foster a positive attitude among the students when it comes to speaking skills through the use of authentic materials such as audio, video, printed, and softcopies. Factors such as activities, environment, and teachers’ attitudes should be the point of reference in determining which learning materials work best in enhancing the speaking skills of the students.

Authors: Akbay Hüseyin Cavit , Zeybek Burak
Published: March 2023

Trust is the most basic need after nutrition in human life. The most basic need in business life, which is a part of human life, is trust. Employees should feel safe in their work life. Teachers who develop a sense of confidence can raise successful students. For this reason, it is important to determine teachers' organizational trust perceptions. In this study, first of all, teachers' organizational trust levels were examined. Then, the differentiation of teachers' organizational trust levels according to gender, graduation status, seniority and school-level variables was examined. The research was designed in the scanning model. The “Organizational Trust Scale” developed by Yılmaz (2006) was used to determine teachers' perceptions of organizational trust. The data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t_test and ANOVA analysis. According to the findings, teachers trust their schools at a high level. Accordingly, teachers' gender, educational status and seniority do not affect their organizational trust perceptions. The school-level variable affects teachers' perceptions of organizational trust. This result shows that teachers working in primary schools have higher organizational trust perceptions. As a result, policies should be developed to improve the organizational trust perceptions of teachers working in secondary and high schools.

GRAMMATICAL GENDER & LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY: DOES THE GRAMMATICAL GENDER NATIVE ARABIC SPEAKERS ASSIGN NEUTRAL NOUNS AFFECT HOW THEY PERCEIVE THEM?
Authors: AlSabbagh Zainab Abdulaziz Abdulla
Published: March 2023

While some Native Arabic speakers assign a certain grammatical gender to neutral nouns based on whether they perceive them to be either a male/masculine or female/feminine like, others assign them a grammatical gender arbitrarily. This research aims to find out 1. whether there is a tendency among Native Arabic speakers to assign neutral nouns male grammatical gender as a result of the Arabic language’s tendency to assign neutral nouns male grammatical gender. It also aims to find out 2. what rationale the Native Arabic speakers have for their grammatical gender assignment of neutral nouns despite the Arabic language's grammatical gender assignment to nouns being arbitrary, in addition to 3. whether or not the participants would assign nouns they find feminine-like a female grammatical gender and nouns that they perceive as masculine-like a male grammatical gender, or would just assign a grammatical gender arbitrarily. This paper's findings showed that the majority of participants of both genders (i.e., males and females) tended to assign male grammatical gender to most of the neutral nouns, as 10 nouns out of 14 were assigned a male grammatical gender by the majority of both male and female participants. The participants stated that they did not perceive the nouns they assigned a male grammatical gender masculine-like but rather assigned them a male grammatical gender either arbitrarily or by default as the Arabic language tends to assign male grammatical gender to neutral nouns, whereas the majority stated that they assigned certain neutral nouns such as my knife and Falafel a female grammatical gender not because they perceived them as feminine-like, but rather because this is what they heard/acquired from those surrounding them. Therefore, the grammatical gender assignment of nouns was not semantic but rather morphological and syntactic and was done by the addition of affixation either to the noun itself or to its adjective.

Authors: Kandimba Humphrey Chinyemba , Mandyata Joseph , Simalalo Magdalene
Published: March 2023

In recent years, curriculum adaptation in education has received consideration attention, as reflected in the viewpoints and guidelines in policies and practice in education. It is believed to have the potential of providing opportunities to learners to access quality education. Curriculum adaptation itself, involves differentiation in learning content and instructions, aimed at aiding learners learning. The study explored teachers’ understanding of curriculum adaptation involving learners with moderate intellectual disabilities in Zambian primary schools. An interpretive phenomenological design supported by qualitative approaches was used. The sample size involved 15 special education teachers. An expert purposive sampling technique was used in to select participants. Data was collected using an in-depth interview guide. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The study revealed mixed views on teachers’ knowledge on curriculum adaptation. While some teachers limited understanding to just modifying content, others saw adaptation beyond adapting subject content. They believed adaptation to include; adjusting instructional strategies, learning resources, and learning environment as well as collaboration with other stakeholders such as parents and relevant professionals to make learners learn. The study also, revealed that although some teachers did not quite comprehend it, those who did so, showed understanding through the ability to: modify instructional strategies; adjust learning materials; simplify learning content and adjusted the learning environment and provision of extra time for learning and assessment time learners learn. Teachers’ understanding, however, was punctuated by several gaps: ill-preparedness of teachers, long periods of class preparation, limited base resources for adaptation and unwillingness of stakeholders to participate. The study recommends, upgrading teachers’ understanding and skills on curriculum adaptation practices through in-house training.

Magna Carta
Authors: Baker John
Published: March 2023

The Magna Carta of 1215 was a peace treaty between King John and his warring barons. It set down in writing the customary rights and liberties which kings were expected to respect. Though broadly inspired by Henry I’s coronation charter of 1100, it took the precaution of spelling out the rights and liberties in minute detail. As a peace treaty it failed, and John (with papal approval) immediately repudiated it. But John died in 1216, and during the infancy of his son Henry III a more permanent document was crafted. The final version of 1225 was considered the first English statute, emerging from a great assembly which later in the century would be called parliament. It was confirmed at least thirty times, by king after king, establishing that England was a limited monarchy in which kings ruled under the law. The most influential provision down the centuries was that ‘No free person shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or outlawed or exiled or in any way ruined, nor shall we go against him or put upon him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land; to no one shall we sell, to no one deny or delay, right or justice.’ These words in later times inspired the principal legal remedies against governments and public officials, the writ of habeas corpus and the Petition of Right (1628). By 1604 it could be claimed that Magna Carta guaranteed ‘everything that anyone has in this world, or that concerns the freedom and liberty of his body or his freehold, or the benefit of the law to which he is inheritable or his native country in which he was born, or the preservation of his reputation or goods, or his life, blood and posterity.’
The Golden Bull of 1356 : A Legislative Masterstroke by Emperor Charles IV
Authors: Lück Heiner
Published: March 2023

The Golden Bull of Emperor Charles IV (reigned 1346/1355-1378) of 1356 is one of the most prominent laws of the late medieval and early modern Holy Roman Empire. It is one of the fundamental laws (leges fundamentales) and, from the point of view of constitutional history, presenting a clear programme for the organisation of imperial rule involving the privileged electoral group. The Code pursues the creation of a firmly structured order, which can be based in part on custom. Ranking (casting of votes; seating order; different privileges) and equality of rank (ceremonial) among the electors are laid down as essential elements of an order of unity and peace in the empire. The consensus with the electors sought by the Emperor and apparently largely implemented offered the chance to also implement the agreed and imperially proclaimed rules in reality. In this respect, those important rulers besides the emperor who had to enforce the law in general in their territories were involved in the content and formal design of the Code as a prerequisite and unifying feature. At the heart of the Golden Bull were the rules for the election of kings, which basically stood the test of time until the end of the Old Empire. Clarity and the endeavour to reach agreement on the applicable rules were the goals of the Golden Bull. This meant that there was no longer any room for the election of opposing kings and double elections. In many cases, the legislator was able to refer to tradition and custom, which contributed to an evident legitimisation of the respective norms. Compliance with and enforcement of the legal norms enacted by the legislature were important to the legislature. A system of sanctions – from loss of rights to fines to the death penalty and the diminution of rights/honour of the descendants of executed conspirators/mayhem criminals – reinforced the relevant norms. In this respect, the legislator left no doubt about his determination. The electors, whom he had included in the legislation by consensus, were held in high esteem by him as emperor (of necessity due to the power-political relations in the empire) with regard to the welfare of the Holy Roman Empire.

The research findings noted that spiritual leadership and job satisfaction proved to have an effect on increasing the intention to stay of teaching personnel. Spiritual leadership has a direct impact on teaching personnel's intention to stay. Spiritual leadership has a direct effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has a direct effect on intention to stay. In addition, the effect of spiritual leadership will be better if supported by job satisfaction in increasing the intention to stay of teaching personnel; in other words, job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between spiritual leadership and intention to stay.

Published: March 2023

В мировой научной среде существует значительная неопределенность относительно долгосрочных перспектив глобального спроса на пластики: прогнозы разнятся в диапазоне – от стремительного роста до стагнации и падения. В статье рассматриваются исторические и современные тенденции развития спроса на пластики и сформирован модельный инструментарий для его прогнозирования. По результатам расчетов установлено, что рост мирового спроса практически гарантирован до 2050 г., однако его динамика будет сильно различаться по регионам и существенно зависит от новых мер по борьбе с пластиковым загрязнением.

Российское здравоохранение: макроэкономические параметры и структурные проблемы
Authors: Клепач А.Н. , Лукьяненко Р.Ф.
Published: March 2023

Острая эпидемиологическая ситуация 2020-2021 гг. выявила ряд дисбалансов и «узких мест», сложившихся в российской системе здравоохранения в последние двадцать лет в результате реализации политики, ориентированной на достижение прорывов в отдельных направлениях, и проводимой одновременно оптимизации сектора. Одной из наиболее острых в секторе оказалась проблема межрегиональной дифференциации в кадровой и ресурсной обеспеченности системы здравоохранения и, соответственно, в наличии возможностей для реагирования на вызовы и шоки. Решение указанных проблем требует комплексного подхода: только лишь увеличения объемов финансирования сектора недостаточно, необходимы структурные изменения в части перестраивания системы образования и формирования новых высококвалифицированных кадров, создания эффективной системы территориального распределения кадров, радикального повышения фондовооруженности в секторе передовым оборудованием, т. е. переход к новой модели здравоохранения.
Evaluation of Corrosion and Erosion-Corrosion Behavior of X65 Pipeline Steel in Flowing CO2-Saturated Electrolyte
Authors: Zhang Qiliang , Jiang Wanheng , Wang Zijie , Wang Lidong , Huang Yi , Xu Yunze
Published: March 2023

In this study, the corrosion and erosion-corrosion behaviors of X65 pipeline steel in the flowing CO2-saturated electrolyte were electrochemically studied using a rotation disk system. The results showed that the accumulation of the Fe3C layer in the electrolyte without sand particles enhanced the cathodic reaction, increasing the corrosion rate. The increase in flow velocity facilitated the rapid accumulation of a thick Fe3C layer, which linearly increased the corrosion rate with increasing rotation speed. The sand impacts removed the corrosion product layer and broke the exposed Fe3C network, resulting in a negative synergy of erosion-enhanced corrosion. The erosion-corrosion negatively affected ferrites compared with the pearlites in an electrolyte containing sand due to the weaker erosion resistance.
Locating the Madras Kerchief in Global Textile Trade: Convergences Between Connecting Threads and the Dutch Textile Trade Project
Authors: de Lorenzo Victoria , Fotheringham Avalon , Murali Deepthi , Priyadarshini Meha
Published: March 2023

This essay presents collaborative research related to the National Endowment for the Humanities-Arts and Humanities Research Council grant-funded project Connecting Threads, a website that brings together academics and curators across the United Kingdom and the United States who seek to contribute to wider decolonization work in the humanities and engage communities whose contributions to global cultures of textiles and fashion have historically been ignored. The Connecting Threads research team uses the Dutch Textile Trade Project’s data and web applications to deepen understanding of the Madras kerchief, a large checked cotton square cloth that circulated in Afro-diasporic communities in the Caribbean during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
New Netherland Documents and the Dutch Textile Trade Project
Authors: Hamer Deborah
Published: March 2023

This essay examines the Dutch Textile Trade Project’s use of the Dutch West India Company archives in the context of archival sources for the Dutch colony of New Netherland, which included parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut (1621 to 1664). While the digitization of the WIC’s New Netherland Papers has provided scholars with invaluable access to information about the former Dutch colony, it has also placed undue weight on this elite, semi-private collection of documents at the expense of other archival collections.
Presence Makes the Heart Grow
Fonder : Proximity and the Creation of
Dynasty
Authors: Persson Fabian
Published: March 2023

The soft edges of early modern dynastic conceptions, especially
in times of dynastic fragility, made it possible to manoeuvre oneself into
the dynasty and become part of it. The recurring theme of ‘royal blood’
and ‘the Gustavian family’ was a help to the Palatines in Sweden in this
context. It made it easier to see the Palatines as dynastic members rather
than a separate dynasty. The strategy of dynastic presence required both
time to work and grow roots as well as actual physical presence but it
could pay off handsomely.
The Nassaus and State Formation in
Pre-Modern Germany
Authors: van der Steen Jasper
Published: March 2023

Historians tend to throw states, dynasties and historical
periodisations into the same pot, approaching ‘dynasty’ and ‘state’ as
two sides of the same coin. Although there is much to be said for this
approach, it neglects the role of the family. This chapter addresses this
problem in dynastic history by studying pre-modern state formation as a
family business. By focusing on the house regulations of the Nassau family,
a dynasty in early modern Germany not renowned for its state building,
this chapter argues that scholars of dynasty and state formation may
gain from a more open approach to the strategies pre-modern princely
families deployed to secure their portfolio of lands, titles, offices and
other goods for the future.

The papillomaviridae viral family includes HPV. When it comes to female sexually transmitted diseases, the genital tract is the primary site of infection for genital type HPVs, which are further divided into high- and low-risk subgroups depending on the likelihood that they will cause cancer of the genital tract. High-risk HPV strains 16 and 18 cause cervical cancer. Sexual contact or skin-to-skin contact is the primary mode of transmission of HPV.
To assess the degree of Practice among a sample of paramedical workers concerning the Human Papillomavirus and Cervical Cancer.
Five hospitals and 25 primary health care centers in the Al-Najaf governorate were studied in this cross-sectional observational descriptive cross-sectional research. Starting on December 19th, 2021 and concluding on April 18th, 2022, data was gathered for four months. According to the results of the present research, which included (five hundred) Paramedical employees aged 20-59 years, the age group with the largest proportion (66.4%) was that of 20-29 years. Whereas, in terms of gender, the largest proportion of women (64.6 percent). Almost all paramedics work in urban areas. In addition, almost half of the participants came from medical institutions, accounting for 51.6 percent of the total, while just 2.4 percent were graduates of secondary schools. Only 2.4% of the paramedical staff had any kind of education or training on HPV or cervical cancer. Excellent practice evaluations for the Human Papillomavirus and cervical cancer were much higher among paramedical providers (79 percent). Most of the paramedics who were evaluated for their practices addressing cervical cancer and the human papillomavirus (HPV) received good grades. Health authorities, social groupings, and non-governmental organizations should work together to communicate information about the human papillomavirus and cervical cancer to the general population. In order to educate and sensitize medical professionals about HPV screening technologies and the most current screening and treatment guidelines, conduct educational initiatives.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a term referring to blood clots in the veins, is an underdiagnosed and dangerous, yet avoidable, medical illness that can result in disability and mortality. When a blood clot develops in a deep vein, commonly in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis, it is referred to as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). To evaluate the risk factors of VTE between cases and controls in the hospital Imam Sadiq Teaching in Babylon City and to predict variables that contribute to the risk factors of VTE among the studied samples. The study was conducted in a hospital, Imam Sadiq Teaching in Babylon, Iraq, and was designed as a case control. There were 165 participants (55 cases and 110 controls). Data was collected during a four-month period. The findings show that there are no significant sociodemographic risk factors for VTE, with the most significant being obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (p. value < 0.05) among patients. The frequency of exercise in patients with VTE and the control group was 20.0%, 36.4% respectively, at a significant level (P. value < 0.05). There was no significant association between risk factors for females and VTE (P. value > 0.05) except for used contraceptive pills and a history of a cesarean operation. There was no significant link between medical history and the outcome of this investigation (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and lung diseases) ... except kidney disease was likely at a higher risk of VTE than participants who had no kidney disease. Although there is no significant relationship between sociodemographic and VTE, the study found that there was a very high correlation between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, caesarean sections, oral contraceptives, and renal disease with VTE.
