The validation of an instrument is essential to ensure its reliability and accuracy. This study aimed to validate an instrument to assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of puerperal women in rooming-in about general danger signs that the newborn may present. The study followed 7 stages: 1st conceptual structuring, 2nd definition of the instrument's objectives, 3rd construction of the items and response scales, 4th selection and organization of the items, 5th structuring of the instrument, 6th content validation and 7th pre-test. Then, the psychometric properties of validity and reliability were evaluated. The statistical analysis of the data evaluated the CVI of pertinence, relevance and clarity for each item and all items evaluated in the final survey had CVI greater than or equal to 0.8 in the pertinence and relevance item. The final version of the instrument was validated containing 41 items separated by 3 domains, Knowledge, Attitude and Practices. The internal consistency of the instrument evaluated by Cronbach's Coefficient showed that the instrument has high reliability with alpha equal to 0.88. Validating this instrument was fundamental, as it enabled the application, analysis, and adequate planning of interventions that can improve the care of newborns and reduce avoidable deaths.

Experimental Data-Driven Estimation of Impulse Response in Audio Systems Using Parametric and Non-Parametric Methods
Authors: Soto-Vergel Angelo J. , Lopez-Bustamante Oriana A. , Medina-Delgado Byron
Published: December 2024

The impulse response is a fundamental tool for characterizing linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, enabling the derivation of a mathematical model that accurately describes system dynamics under arbitrary input conditions. This study used experimental data to estimate the impulse response of an audio system—comprising an amplifier, a speaker, a room, and a microphone. Four methods were employed: two parametric and two non-parametric approaches, applied in both the time and frequency domains. The methods were evaluated quantitatively using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metric and qualitatively through a perceptual analysis with six participants. The parametric frequency-domain method achieved the best perceptual results, with 75% of participants rating the output as good. While this method exhibited slightly higher RMSE compared to other techniques, its low filter order (8) resulted in superior computational efficiency. The findings highlight that perceptual alignment often diverges from purely mathematical error minimization. Real-time implementation of the selected impulse response further demonstrated its practical application in audio processing systems. This research bridges quantitative metrics and human auditory perception, emphasizing the need for balanced decision-making in audio system modeling. The results contribute to advancing data-driven methodologies in acoustics, offering insights into both experimental design and computational efficiency

Authors: Raj G. Akil , Lazarus Anderleen Diana
Published: December 2024

Introduction: This research presents a hermeneutical study of Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha during his period in South Africa. It examines the complex cultural encounters he faced within colonial South Africa, marked by racial segregation and discrimination, and how these shaped his philosophy of Satyagraha, a principled, nonviolent resistance grounded in truth and love.Methods: A close reading of Gandhi's autobiography Satyagraha in South Africa from this period forms the methodological basis. This approach allows for in-depth exploration of Satyagraha's ethical dimensions as a response to injustice.Results: The analysis reveals how Gandhi's South African experiences profoundly influenced his understanding of injustice and commitment to nonviolent resistance. Satyagraha challenged prevailing power structures and cultural norms by offering an alternative resistance mode emphasizing ethical principles and nonviolent action's transformative potential. The study highlights the interconnectedness of truth, love, and self-suffering as core tenets, informing Gandhi's approach to social and political change. It also illuminates Satyagraha's lasting legacy in South Africa and its influence on subsequent movements.Conclusion: Satyagraha, born from specific cultural encounters in South Africa, provides a profound framework for understanding and engaging in ethical resistance against oppression in various contexts. It offers enduring lessons for contemporary struggles for social justice and nonviolent change

Authors: Rakhman Aulia , Buludawa Magfirah , Hijrah Hijrah , Ariani Ariani
Published: December 2024

The increasing cases of overweight and obesity are caused by nutritional imbalances. Other factors such as screen time for 2 hours or more every day are studied to increase the risk of obesity by 23%. The mukbang phenomenon has also been shown to change eating behavior in a negative direction, thus risking health problems. This study aims to determine the relationship between the intensity of gadget use, eating patterns, mukbang watching habits and changes in eating behavior with the incidence of overweight in adolescents at SMA Negeri 4 Palu. This study uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional research design. The population in this study was 392 and a sample of 195 respondents using the proportional random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a gadget use intensity questionnaire, FFQ and a mukbang watching habit questionnaire. Data analysis used the chi square statistical test. The results showed that 74 respondents had overweight status (37.9%) and 121 respondents had normal nutritional status (62.1%). Based on the chi square test, the variables that had a relationship with the incidence of overweight were eating patterns (p = 0.006) and mukbang watching habits (p = 0.007). Meanwhile, variables that have no relationship with overweight incidence are the intensity of gadget use (p = 0.324) and changes in eating behavior (p = 0.346). For adolescents, it is expected to avoid sedentary lifestyle habits and apply a diet according to the principles of balanced nutrition.

Published: December 2024

A prática do aleitamento e suas vantagens têm sido amplamente abordadas pela literatura científica. Há evidências de benefícios na saúde da criança a curto e longo prazo, envolvendo a saúde da mãe, a família e a sociedade. Um dos aspectos que ajuda a mãe aumentar o desejo de amamentar, é sua autoeficácia, ou seja, a mãe deve acreditar e ter a confiança de que possui os conhecimentos e habilidades suficientes para amamentar seu bebê. Este estudo objetivou identificar os fatores que influenciam na autoeficácia materna para amamentação. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, utilizando estudos publicados na íntegra, disponíveis online, na língua portuguesa, nos últimos dez anos. Após leitura e análise, foram encontrados os fatores que influenciam positiva e negativamente na autoeficácia materna para amamentar e a importância do enfermeiro neste contexto. A literatura aponta que os aspectos socioeconômicos e culturais, o apoio familiar e as experiências anteriores podem ser positivos para a autoeficácia materna para amamentar. No entanto, dificuldades relacionadas à saúde mental, como a depressão e a ansiedade e o trauma mamilar influenciam de forma negativa na autoeficácia materna para amamentar. Neste contexto, o enfermeiro é profissional relevante, pois possibilita o melhor acolhimento do binômio, ajudando a criar melhor vínculo, e trazendo melhor autoeficácia para a mãe durante o aleitamento materno. É fundamental que os profissionais de saúde reúnam competências e habilidades para a assistência qualificada, buscando ter atitudes motivadoras da autoeficácia.

Nos últimos anos, o tema do parto tem recebido crescente atenção nas ciências sociais brasileiras. Em muito, isto se deve à discussão sobre humanização no parto. Por outro lado, o aumento nas taxas de cesariana preocupa cada vez mais pesquisadores, formuladores de políticas, profissionais de saúde e a sociedade civil, uma vez que a cirurgia está relacionada a desfechos negativos de curto e longo prazo, tanto para as mulheres quanto para os recém-nascidos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a possível relação entre os dados coletados com os critérios utilizados para a escolha de resolução gestacional, abrangendo as possíveis complicações e a informação inadequada, justificada pela incongruência entre a rede de saúde e o público-alvo. A coleta de dados foi feita no DATASUS, por meio do Tabnet – SISVAN do perfil epidemiológico das gestantes de 35 a 49 anos e as informações sobre os partos destas durante o período de 2010 a 2020 em Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo. Foram analisados dados de 16.030 gestantes e representam 17,53% do total de gestantes no mesmo período em Ribeirão Preto/SP. Nesse período de 10 anos foram realizados 4.502 partos normais (28%) e 11.528 (71,9%) cesáreas. No momento do parto, 13.791 (86%) entre a 37ª e 41ª semana de gestação. Em relação aos bebês nascidos, 1.426 (8,89%) tiveram peso menor do que 2.500g ao nascer, 910 (5,67%) apresentaram Apgar entre 0 e 5 no 1º minuto de vida. As estatísticas nacionais indicam mais de 55% dos partos por via alta, sendo ainda maiores os índices encontrados na faixa etária deste estudo.

Published: December 2024

Introdução: A infecção da ferida operatória é uma das complicações cirúrgicas mais recorrentes, sendo responsável por uma alta taxa de morbidade e mortalidade, resultando no aumento dos custos hospitalares e sofrimento do paciente.  Objetivo: Identificar as evidências sobre prevenção de infecção em ferida operatória de cirurgia abdominal. Desenvolvimento: Estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura. As bases de dados utilizadas foram EMBASE, CINAHL, PUBMED e SCOPUS. A elaboração da pergunta de pesquisa se deu por meio da estratégia PICO, sendo: Quais as evidências na literatura sobre prevenção de infecção em ferida operatória abdominal? Foi identificado 455 artigos. A seleção dos estudos foi realizada através do programa gerenciador de referências Rayyan®, por dois pesquisadores de forma interdependentes e após a eliminação das duplicatas, leitura de títulos e resumos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão resultou uma amostra de 7 artigos. Considerações finais: Identificadas duas medidas de prevenção de infecção de ferida operatória em cirurgias abdominais, o uso da terapia de pressão negativa em FO abdominais abertas e fechadas e através do uso de curativos absorventes e impermeáveis de filme transparente. Entretanto, com os resultados limitados e nível de evidência encontrado, inviabiliza-se a recomendação forte das medidas identificadas no presente estudo. Assim, sugere-se a condução de pesquisas clínicas com critérios rigorosos para melhor comprovação da efetividade das medidas preventivas encontradas nesta revisão e novos estudos para identificação de outras medidas preventivas e elaboração de protocolos baseados nas melhores evidências científicas, a fim de contribuir para a melhora da prática clínica.

Tunceli Ağıtlarında Kolektif Hafıza Açısından Yergi ve İroninin Önemi
Authors: Elaltuntaş Ömer Faruk
Published: December 2024

Ağıtlar, kurmaca yönü az ve gerçekleri anlatan bir tür olduğundan toplumun kolektif hafızasının en önemli araçlarından biridir. Özellikle yazılı tarihin bulunmadığı dönemlerde, tarihi olayları konu alan ağıtlar, aynı zamanda birer sözlü tarih anlatılarıdır. Edebi ürünlerinin tamamen sözlü gelenek içinde yayıldığı Tunceli yöresinde, bölgenin tarihi ve sosyokültürel yapısından kaynaklanan olayları konu alan ağıtlar, bölgenin yazılı tarihinin oluşturulmasında ilk elden başvuru kaynaklarıdır. Ağıtları var eden şairler, I. Dünya-Rus Harbi, aşiret kavgaları, 1937-38 gibi yöre tarihinin dönüm noktasını oluşturan olayları aktaran toplumun kolektif hafızasının bellek aktarıcılarıdır.
Yazılı edebiyatın gelişmediği dönemde, ağıtların gerçeklik yönü ön planda tutularak sözlü tarih anlatımları olmalarına önem verilmiş; ağıtların edebi bir tür olduğu genellikle göz ardı edilmiştir. Bu yüzden bölge ağıtları üzerine araştırma yapan kaynaklarda, derlenen ağıtlar edebi açıdan analiz edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada; ağıtın kültürel bellek aktarımındaki önemine, bölge ağıtları üzerine yapılmış çalışmalara, bölge ağıtlarının konu çeşitliğine ve nedenlerine vurgu yapılarak derlenen ağıtlarda yer alan yergi ve ironi örnekleri analiz edilmiştir. Tunceli ağıtları, sadece toplumsal ve tarihsel olayların tanığı olmayıp aynı zamanda sanatsal açıdan da oldukça güçlü dil ve anlatım özelliklerine sahip olduğundan edebi açıdan analiz edilmeyi hak etmektedir. Bu düşünceden hareketle çalışmada; yöre insanının ölümü anlatırken dahi sözünü sakınmayan, karşısındaki ne kadar güçlü olursa olsun, yanlışı eleştirmekten çekinmeyen tutumunun bir yansıması olan yergi ve ironi örneklerini, ağıtlarda nasıl kullandıkları analiz edilmiştir.
Critical components of brief Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) advice interventions in routine care as part of the Growth Assessment in Children and Weight Assessment in Adults Guideline: An Evidence Check rapid review
Authors: Dutch D , Hunter SC , Wood K , Middleton G , Denney-Wilson E , Hendrie GA , Golley RK
Published: December 2024

The Centre for Population Health, NSW Ministry of Health, is updating the 2017 Growth and Weight Assessment Guidelines for children and adults. The focus is on integrating the 'Ask, Advice, Help' (AAH) model into routine clinical care to identify patients above a healthy weight and provide referral pathways to intensive programs. The updated guidelines aim to use culturally sensitive language to avoid weight stigma. This rapid review aimed to evaluate brief Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) interventions that can be implemented by clinicians in hospital or community-based care settings. The findings will inform updates to the guidelines, ensuring alignment with best practices for obesity management and health promotion. The review looked at 10 studies, with one focused on children and nine on adults. For children, a quick talk during a dental visit helped reduce sugary drink consumption, and some kids who were overweight got referred to healthy lifestyle programs. For adults, short advice sessions (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes) led to weight loss and better health habits. For example, a 10-minute session helped people lose about 1kg over three months. The studies followed the 'Ask, Advice, Help' model, which includes measuring weight, giving advice, and referring to more intensive programs. However, there were only a few studies, and they didn't cover all weight groups. This review highlights the potential of brief interventions to contribute to obesity prevention and health promotion, aligning with NSW Health's strategic goals for population health.
From respiratory supercomplexes to megacomplexes
Authors: Haapanen Outi
Published: December 2024

Cellular energy is produced in mitochondria by respiratory enzymes in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Respiratory enzymes are large proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane which can occur either as individual enzymes or organize into larger assemblies called super- and megacomplexes. Originally, supercomplex organization was not generally accepted, but nowadays, their existence is clear. However, the functional aspects are still in the dark. In this overview, we will briefly touch upon the history of supercomplex research, the variation of the supercomplex compositions and shed light on the challenges of studying their functional aspects.

Authors: Staiger-Iffländer Raphaela
Published: December 2024

Die Heilpädagogische Früherziehung (HFE) versteht sich als familienorientiertes Angebot, das nicht nur das Kind und seine besonderen Bedarfe, sondern auch die Eltern und die gesamte Familie in den Blick nimmt. Die vorliegende Publikation präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer Erhebung mit der Frage, ob und in welchen Bereichen die Eltern auch langfristig von der Beratung und Begleitung durch die HFE profitieren. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die HFE in der ganzen Breite ihres Aufgabenspektrums wahrgenommen und geschätzt wird und dass viele Eltern eine Stärkung ihrer elterlichen Kompetenzen durch die HFE erfahren haben. Gleichzeitig wurde auch deutlich, dass eine familienorientierte Arbeitsweise sowie eine ausreichende Dauer der HFE essenzielle Gelingensbedingungen dafür sind.
Das Buch richtet sich an Leitungs- und Fachpersonen sowie an Studierende der HFE. Es bietet zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte dafür, wie die bestehenden Stärken der HFE beibehalten und schwächer ausgeprägte Aufgabenbereiche weiterentwickelt werden können, um die Wirksamkeit der HFE zu erhalten und weiter zu verbessern.

In manycommercial EPNs-based biopesticide companies, formulations ranging from the impregnationof EPNs on artificial sponge to highly advanced granular formulations have beendeveloped. Major challenges have included the development of room-temperatureshelf stability, ease of use, and contamination control. The aim of this workwas to evaluate the suitability of two indigenous EPNs, Heterorhabditisbacteriophora (BA1) and Steinernema carpocapsae (BA2), forformulation and storage on Hydrogel, Kaolinite and Calcium Alginate at roomtemperature. The survival and virulence of both nematodes in the threeformulations were discussed. Comparing the two nematodes, it was found that thestorage potential of BA2juveniles was only superior to that of BA1 in case offormulation with Calcium alginate. The pathogenicity of the two EPNs in the threeformulations was tested against the wax moth, Galleria mellonella. Itwas concluded that BA2 was more virulent than BA1 to the larvae of the waxmoth, G. mellonella in all tested formulae.

Eight carbon,ten nitrogenous sources and various pH regimes were tested for their effect ongrowth and sporulation of C.gloeosporioides. Out of eight carbon sources tested, starch and xylloseproved to be the best for the growth and sporulation followed by glucose andsucrose. Out of ten different nitrogenous sources tested, potassium nitrateproved to be the best for the growth and sporulation of the pathogen. Studieson pH revealed that fungus produced the maximum dry mycelial weight andsporulation at pH 5.5 and pH 6.5 in liquid media respectively. Thus the use ofundegraded organic manures, potassium nitrate bases fertilizers and slightly acidicsoil favors the disease.

Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction Technology Based on Pressure Swing Physical Adsorption Method in Power Enterprises
Authors: ZHANG Yujia , ZHANG Gangqiang
Published: December 2024

With the increasing global attention to environmental issues and climate change, power companies, as an important energy production sector, are facing severe challenges in reducing pollution and carbon emissions. In view of this, this study is based on the metal organic framework MIL-101(Cr), physically encapsulating metalloporphyrins and synthesizing a FeTPP@MIL-101(Cr) complex. Then, the surface characteristics and adsorption performance of the composite are evaluated, and the pressure swing physical adsorption method is introduced to achieve the goal of carbon reduction and pollution reduction. The ICP-OES loading results showed that the corresponding encapsulation amounts in MIL@-A and MIL@-B composites were 5.24% and 3.20%, respectively. Moreover, when the temperature increased from 273 K to 298 K, the adsorption capacity of all test gases on the three samples showed a decreasing trend. Under ideal atmospheric pressure conditions, the adsorption capacity of MIL@-A encapsulation for CO2 did not decrease and increased, while the adsorption capacity for N2 was relatively small, but still had a certain adsorption capacity. The above results indicate that combining the pressure swing physical adsorption method with FeTPP@MIL-101(Cr) complexes can effectively adsorb pollutants generated by power enterprises, achieve predetermined goals, and help promote clean production in power enterprises.

Historical Dictionary of Eritrea
Authors: Connell Dan
Published: December 2024

In 1991, Eritrea won a 30-year war for independence from Ethiopia, and in 1993, it was recognized as Africa’s newest nation after more than a century of conquest and occupation by a succession of external powers that included the Ottomans, Egypt, Italy, Great Britain and Ethiopia. Each had left its mark, while fostering a deep distrust of outsiders and a fierce commitment to Eritrea’s separate political identity. Eritrea and Ethiopia slipped into a chronic state of no-peace-no-war that kept the entire Horn of Africa off-balance for nearly two decades, the standoff ended in 2018 when a newly installed Ethiopian prime minister reached out to Eritrea and set in motion a rapid-fire series of talks among the states of the African Horn that broke down long-standing barriers and raised hopes for a new era of regional peace and cooperation.

This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Eritrea contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Eritrea.
Historical Dictionary of Daoism
Authors: Littlejohn Ronnie L.
Published: December 2024

Daoism is the oldest indigenous philosophic-spiritual tradition of China and one of the most ancient of the world’s spiritual structures. The name Daoism comes from the term dao, which meansa “way” or a “road” through the field or woods to one’s village. It is also means the “way” to do something, such as how a master craftsman carves wood, makes a bell, or even butchers an ox. But dao is also a nominative in the history of Daoism, referring to the energizing process that permeates and animates all of reality and moves it along. However, both text and practice in this tradition insist that dao itself cannot be described in words; itis not God in the sense of Western philosophy or religion. Daoism has no supreme being, even if there is an extensive grammar about nominally self-conscious entities and powers for which the Chinese use the word “spirit” (shen). For example, the highest powers of Daoism are variously called Taishang Laojun (the deified Laozi), the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning (Yuanshi tianzun), the Jade Emperor (Yuhuang Shangdi), or the Perfected Warrior (Zhenwu). But these are expressions of dao in specific shen; they are not identical to Dao, except in the most unique case—when Laozi, the putative founder of Daoism and author of its major work, Daodejing, is said to be one with the dao.

Historical Dictionary of Daoism contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, an extensive bibliography, and more than 400 cross-referenced entries related to the Chinese belief and worldview known as Daoism, including dozens of Daoist terms, names, and practices. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Daoism.

Lady Ref
Authors: Eastin Shannon
Published: December 2024

The eye-opening and inspiring memoir of Shannon Eastin, the first female official for the NFL

Shannon Eastin was used to breaking new ground. As a teenager, she was a six-time national judo champion before women were allowed to compete in her sport in the Olympics. Years later, she became the first female Division I football referee. But when she set her sights on officiating in the NFL, nothing could fully prepare her for the obstacles that would be thrown in her way.

In Lady Ref: Making Calls in a Man’s World, Eastin candidly shares the struggles she faced throughout her journey to the pros. Dealing with sexual harassment, apparent sabotage, and blatant misogyny, there were times Eastin wondered if it was worth it, if perhaps it would be better to quit. But a return to her faith would ultimately help her hold onto her dreams, and when the full-time NFL officials were locked out, Eastin found her opening into the pros.

Eastin’s cap and whistle now rest in the NFL Hall of Fame, a testament to the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that went into her groundbreaking rise up the officiating ranks. Her eye-opening story reflects the relentless battles women have fought—and continue to fight—working in fields often perceived as a man’s domain, while also celebrating those who have supported these trailblazers in their journeys.
