Objective: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in children requiring long-term therapy using anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Chronic use of AEDs may impair bone health. This study aimed to determine the biochemical changes affecting bone metabolism in pediatric epileptic patients taking AEDs. 
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics of Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi from January 2019 to July 2019. A total of 95 children were enrolled based on non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Bone metabolism was evaluated by measuring serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase levels in all the study participants. Data was entered on SPSS v 22 and descriptive statistics were applied. 
Results: Of 95 epileptic children, 50.53% (n=48) were male and 49.47% (n=47) were females taking AEDs (either carbamazepine, valproate sodium or phenobarbital), 47.37% (n=45) were between 2-6 years of age while 52.63% (n=50) were between 7-11 years of age (Mean age: 6.53±2.54 years). Mean calcium and alkaline phosphatase levels of patients were calculated as 7.94±2.3 mg/dl and 226.31±17.45 IU/L respectively. Frequency of hypocalcemia in patients taking AEDs was recorded in 67.37% (n=64) and 81.05% (n=77) had raised alkaline phosphatase levels. 
Conclusion: This study concludes that frequency of hypocalcemia and raised alkaline phosphatase levels in patients taking AEDs is higher and needs attention to address this issue while the magnitude recorded in this study is primary in local population which needs to be re-assessed through multi-center trials.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Shahid , Azzam Wael
Published: July 2023

Introduction
Incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is increasing owing to increased participation in sports. We are presenting our case series in which we have done ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with autologous hamstring graft. Basic idea for this project was to increase the awareness regarding timely management of ACL injury and good to excellent outcome of this minimal invasive technique.
Materials and Methods
In this retrospective study, we included 10 patients who underwent arthroscopic transportal single bundle ACLR using hamstring autograft, between January 2019 to December 2021 in Isra university hospital Hyderabad. Patients were followed routinely and outcome was recorded with the help of Lysholm knee scoring questionnaire at 6 months and 12 months post procedure.
Results 
Mean age of the patients was 28.2 years (22 to 35 years) (Table-1). Average duration between injury to surgical intervention was 12.3 months (6 to 26 months). Final outcome was excellent in 3 patients (60%), good in 6 patients (30%) and fair in one patient (10%).
Conclusion
Injury to ACL is a critical event for any individual. Its timely management is important not only to return the patient back to pre-injury activity level but also to prevent delayed consequences of ACL tear. Our study and the literature review shows satisfactory results of arthroscopic ACLR. Finally, one should follow the basic principles of arthroscopic surgical technique of ACLR along with postoperative supervised physiotherapy rehabilitation protocol to get the desired results.

دور العقيدة الاشعرية في أسلمة علم الكلام وتحقيق الاستقرار الفكري
Authors: نوري خليل
Published: July 2023

منذ أن بدأت معالم الحضارة الإسلامية بالتشكل في العهد النّبوي المدنيّ وفكرة الاستفادة من علوم ومعارف الأمم الأخرى قائمة في الفكر النّبوي ومن بعده الخلفاء الراشدين ثم نمو هذه الفكرة بشكل واضح بعد قيام حركة الترجمة في العهد الأموي وازدهارها في العهد العباسي وعلماء الإسلام يحاولون جهد إمكانهم تسخير هذه العلوم والمعارف والاستفادة منها لنشر الإسلام أو الدفاع عن عقيدته أو تأييدها وبيان موائمتها للفطرة البشرية السوية والعقل الإنساني السليم فنجح في هذا الأمر أناس وفشل فيه آخرون.
وفي هذا البحث نسلط الضوء على الإخفاق والفشل الذي رافق المعتزلة في سعيهم نحو تحقيق هذا المشروع، والذي استمر عقوداً من السنين كان من سماتها التخبط والتيه والفوضى الفكرية، ثم نبين الدور الكبير الذي أدته المدرسة العقائدية الأشعرية ممثلة بمؤسسها الإمام أبي الحسن الأشعري في سعيها لتصحيح مسار أسلمة العلوم والمعارف _وعلى وجه التحديد أسلمة علم الكلام_ وبيان النجاح الكبير الذي حققته في تحقيق الاستقرار الفكري العقائدي للأمة الإسلامية لما تميزت به من التسامح والاعتدال والعقلانية في التعامل مع الأمور الفكرية العقائدية سالكاً بذلك منهجاً وسطياً يجمع بين التمسك بالنصوص الشرعية ومواقف السلف وبين الاعتماد على العقل وأدواته والحجج المنطقية فيما يمكن الاعتماد عليه. فأسس بذلك منهجاً عقائدياً ارتضته الغالبية من جماهير الأمة الإسلامية وعلمائها .
All Vomit Is Not Viral

Published: July 2023

Duplication cysts are congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract. They are rare, occurring in 1 in 4,500 births.1 Although the age of symptomatic onset is typically 2 years, current literature shows reports of presentation from newborn to adulthood. Presentation of duplication cysts may vary widely and can occur during outbreaks of acute infectious gastroenteritis cases. Thus, it is important to consider these cysts in the differential diagnosis of the vomiting child. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with persistent bilious vomiting who was found to have a bilobed duplication cyst.

The State of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Pediatric Fellowship Programs
Authors: Woods Rashida , Harris Kevin , Wiggins John Coles , Wilson Davis Marcelle , Woleben Christopher
Published: July 2023

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) lie at the center of excellent patient care and safety. The way we interact with our pediatric patients and families and develop and discuss treatment plans should all be done under the lens of DEIJ. The foundation of DEIJ begins in medical school and is further honed during general pediatric residency training by ensuring residents are exposed to diverse patient populations. During fellowship training, the focus is shifted to research and scholarly activities for that same population. There is a vast catalog of curricula on DEIJ education for medical schools, some exist for general pediatric residency programs, but there is a lack of such curricula for subspecialty pediatric fellowship programs. In this article, we will address the state of DEIJ education in pediatric fellowship education, make a case for the importance of DEIJ education in pediatric fellowship programs, and provide recommendations to address the gap to include a holistic approach that involves holding departments, program leaders, and individuals accountable for continued medical education.

Authors: Ajibade Temilorun , Bukutu Cecilia , Marinkovic Aleksandra , Okorie Chuku , Izurieta Ricardo , Sanyaolu Adekunle
Published: July 2023

Background

Food allergies are adverse reactions to a specific food antigen which is mediated by immunological mechanisms and are fast rising to become a significant public health concern. Around 1% of the world's adult population suffers from food allergies. The prevalence of food allergies which can be life-threatening is commonly estimated to affect 3–5% of the adult population in North America.

Objectives

The purpose of this study is to review published food allergy knowledge and training amongst food service workers and identify the policies in place concerning food allergies globally.

Methodology

Documented food service workers' knowledge and training about food allergies published between September 2006 and February 2021 were comprehensively reviewed. A widespread literature search was carried out using subject headings, search terms, and keywords. Results were examined in groups to explore patterns through research.

Results

A total of 18 relevant studies that analyzed the food allergies knowledge and training of food service workers were reviewed. Eight studies (44%) were performed in the USA, followed by two studies (11%) in the UK, and one study each (5%) for New Zealand, Turkey, Malaysia, France, Western Romania, Germany, Brazil, and Canada. In the studies, respondents were asked a series of questions to assess their level of knowledge and the types of training relating to food allergies they received.

Conclusions

This study identified the gaps in policy, as well as knowledge and training among food service workers, to manage food allergies safely, thus emphasizing the importance and need for food allergy training.
As colonialidades linguísticas na formação docente: experiências de discentes de Letras – Inglês
Authors: Caiado da Costa Ferreira Fernanda , Augusto de Lima Bastos Pedro
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, discutimos as colonialidades linguísticas vivenciadas por discentes de Letras: Inglês ao longo de suas vidas e durante a graduação. Partimos do pensamento decolonial e da ideia de  que as línguas são invenções com efeitos reais para promover esta discussão considerando duas categorias: a língua portuguesa e o curso de Letras. O material empírico foi gerado em uma experiência de formação crítica de professoras/es e aqui discutimos interações de sala de aula e respostas de uma prova escrita com foco nas experiências pessoais relatadas pelas/os discentes. Em relação língua portuguesa, as/os discentes relatam situações que refletem a hierarquização de falantes que não dominam formas de prestígio, mesmo em ambientes informais e que desafiam o grafocentrismo, como o contexto familiar e digital. Já em relação ao curso de Letras, problematizamos as contradições em relação às perspectivas defendidas pelas/os docentes (que valorizam a pluralidade linguística) e a forma como as/os discentes são avaliados (de maneira monolíngue). Ao final, refletimos sobre as hierarquizações linguísticas e as contradições experienciadas pelas/os discentes.

Uma data para celebrar? As representações do 12 de outubro no mundo hispânico sob o olhar decolonial
Authors: Matos Doris , Botelho Gabriela
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar quais elementos semióticos são marcados para construir os sentidos do 12 de outubro no mundo hispânico e como repercutem atualmente. Para tanto, analisamos quatro postagens feitas no dia 12 de outubro de 2020, na conta oficial no Instagram do Gaturro e os comentários dos seguidores sobre o conteúdo postado. A análise está alinhada ao campo teórico da Linguística Aplicada que busca compreender como as práticas sociais constituem e são constituídas pela linguagem (Fabrício, 2017) e ao entendimento de que o meio digital é um espaço em disputa entre os atores sociais (Wood; Smith, 2005). Partimos dos estudos decoloniais, considerando o processo colonial como um advento histórico que influencia na constituição de datas comemorativas, nas representações, nas identidades sociais e na construção da linguagem a partir, principalmente, da racialização (Quijano, 2005; Veronelli, 2019). A investigação é de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa social online e de cunho descritivo-interpretativista. Os resultados apontaram que nos comentários há questionamentos sobre os sentidos da data, porém os elementos semióticos das quatro postagens encadeiam ideários coloniais como: a imagem cristalizada dos povos indígenas, a fé cristã, o nacionalismo e a figura de Colombo, reforçando colonialidades.

Authors: Pascual-Arias Cristina , Hortigüela-Alcalá David , Nieto Teresa Fuentes , López-Pastor Víctor M. , Fernández-Garcimartín Carla , Soria Miriam Molina
Published: July 2023

This chapter has two clearly defined objectives: (a) to analyse how higher education (HE) teachers participating in an in-service teacher education (ISTE) inter-level seminar evaluated the Action-Research (A-R) processes they carried out; (b) to determine the advantages that HE teachers find after carrying out formative and shared assessment (F&SA) processes, as well as the disadvantages and proposals for improvement to overcome them. For this purpose, a case study was conducted in an ISTE inter-level seminar on F&SA with 10 HE teachers. The teachers found the A-R processes very useful although they believed that they should systematise them continuously during the whole teaching-learning process; moreover, they considered that F&SA practices have many advantages and some disadvantages for which they proposed solutions to overcome them.

Cognitive Diversity
Authors: Tambe Sukhada
Published: July 2023

Cognitive diversity means having an amalgam of people with different ways of thinking, different skill sets, diverse perspectives, and different viewpoints in the organization. Organizations have realized the importance of diversity in age, gender, qualification, and started taking cognizance of the same. All these are visible forms of diversity. However not much attention is paid to ‘cognitive diversity' because it is not visible and is deep level diversity. Organizations need to have cognitive diversity as a part of their diversity and inclusion (D&I) agenda. Cognitive diversity is indeed the way forward. This study is an effort to understand and explore ‘cognitive diversity' which is invisible in nature, yet of great importance and relevance for the organizations.
The AI-Based COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment Is Smarty and Secure
Authors: Shah Mohd Asif , Sekaran Ramesh
Published: July 2023

Detecting SARs-COV'19 at early stages is essential for both providing suitable medical facility to the patients and also to safeguard the unaffected people. The dangerous part of COVID-19 infection occurs in patients with lower levels of immunity, say older people, patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, or cancer, in which case a serious illness develops and at last leads to the death of the patient. The chatper aims at monitoring the SpO2, heartbeat, and temperature of the COVID-19-infected patients in critical care units and takes immediate action by supplying oxygen or medicated aerosol to the needy patients. A supervised machine learning technique is used for effective prediction of the patient's condition based on the monitored parameters. Experimental results show that this model can predict the abnormal condition of the patient with an efficiency of 94% and revert back to normal conditions with an efficiency of 95%.
Competency-Based Assessments in STEM Classrooms
Authors: Bansal Garima
Published: July 2023

It has often been observed that what is assessed often becomes what is taught. To enable teachers to teach 21st century skills, it is crucial that school systems upskill their models of designing high-quality competency-based assessments. This chapter reports a competency-based formative assessment used to equip students with the skills required for successful survival in the 21st century. It reports a formative assessment task in which story writing is used to develop graph development skills among STEM students studying in middle grades in an Indian school classroom. The results indicate that competency-based assessments unravel student-held misconceptions which can be used by the teachers to provide appropriate formative feedback.
Towards Automatic Analysis of Science Classroom Talk
Authors: Lehesvuori Sami , Schlotterbeck Danner , Jiménez Abelino , Caballero Daniela , Araya Roberto , Hämäläinen Raija
Published: July 2023

In this study, classroom interaction is addressed by using automatic speech recognition (ASR) for automatic analysis of teacher talk. Educational research on classroom interactions and talk is mainly based on manual analysis, which, although quite accurate, is time consuming and expensive. As there are already many ways to harness the power of automatic approaches to analyse the content of talk, the next step is the automatic detection of different types of talk. In this study, the latter includes the automatic detection of teacher questions and their differentiation into closed and open types. The data consists of ASR text outputs of 25 physics lessons on the same topic, each 90 minutes long, from 25 different science teachers. The interplay between human- and machine-led approaches resulted in promising steps taken towards automatization. Future possibilities for automatic analysis of classroom talk and the implications for teaching and learning are discussed.
Improvement of Speech Coding of Turkish Speech Data Using New Hybrid Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Bakir Cigdem
Published: July 2023

Understanding the mechanism of speech generation is critical to successful coding of the speech signal. In this study, first of all, what speech coding is, its purposes, usage areas, classification of speech coding according to some features and techniques are given. In addition, in this study, a voice coding study was carried out to increase the speech quality on Turkish voice data with a multi-purpose genetic-based speech coding method. In the multi-objective genetic algorithm method, a coding gain optimizing parameter is used to improve the quality of at least two lost audio data. By combining fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm, the authors proposed a new hybrid model and increased the sound quality compared to other methods. In addition, the solutions that provide the best match for frequency selection are obtained with the fitness function. This proposed system is also compared with the wavelet audio coding methods that are frequently used in audio coding. The results obtained showed that the system obtained by the hybrid model was more successful.

Published: July 2023

Machine learning and deep learning techniques are always compressed, convergence models. The most appropriate optimization would be the gradient descent, which is capable of finding the best solution with minimal cost. This algorithm can also be used with convolution neural network for better performance. Here a research work proposes a novel automatic image segmentation technique to discriminate between normal and acute lymphoblastic leukemia on bone marrow samples and has been done with the proposed GD_CNN. This method consists of background extraction and RBC separation. In the next stage, the median filtering and morphology technique is used to remove the noise and outliers. An improved GD_CNN model is used to classify normal or abnormal bone marrow samples. This proposed work is implemented using MATLAB 10.0 tool and tested on the bone marrow samples taken from ALL-IDB (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Image Database for image processing) database. The proposed model provides high-quality classification accuracy to identify acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The main aim of this reverse supply chain model is to maximize the expected profit. The model is designed for single period context where the used multiple products are collected from different collection sites with sorting. The collection sites are assumed to have sufficient returned products where the multiple used products are collected from these collection sites for remanufacturing. It is modeled in three phases, and detailed discussion is being done for the model without sorting, model with sorting at phase one, and model with sorting at both the phases. The maximum expected profit is obtained when the acquisition quantities for each product are equal using nonlinear optimization method.

Published: July 2023

The new internet and digital technologies have truly accelerated and improved media functions and operations in modern society. Like the developed nations, sub-Saharan African countries have benefitted immensely in adopting new media tools to generate, access, disseminate, store, and retrieve information. Since the basic function of the media is to inform the public, digital tools and various internet platforms have exemplified this role by increasing the volume and spread of news information in today's network society. In fact, the current information era is one characterized by the inundated volume of data and flood of information. However, with such incredible overload of information, new problems have emerged; the anonymous nature of most of these internet platforms have permitted highly adulterated and unethical news contents to contaminate the digital space.

Some scholars place too much emphasis on the role of capitalists and their capital in the development of the culture industry, while others view ethnic music as a stable ethnic identity. This chapter discusses how technology influences the development of the ethnic pop music industry in Indonesia. At the onset of the culture industry, the high cost of music production and distribution technologies resulted in a few producers dominating the market and limited options for listeners. Subsequently, advancements in technology decreased the cost of equipment, enabling Minang entrepreneurs and musicians to establish a thriving local music industry. The strong sense of cultural identity among Minang migrants outside West Sumatra has created a large market for this ethnic pop music. However, the relationship between music, identity, market, and business is constantly evolving, as the question of music as ethnic identity is often raised. Often, the success of musicians can lead to the acceptance of their music as ethnic music.

Mediatization of Ubuntu
Authors: Onobe Melchizedec J.
Published: July 2023

News, in the tradition of the West, is majorly individualized, leaning strongly towards personality responsibility cult. It stands aloof from the communalization that is the central ideology of African metaphysics. In other fields and spheres, Ubuntu has enjoyed a veiled renaissance as a pivotal theme of identity outlook that resonates with many traditions of reasoning in Africa. The media protocol in Africa has been outside that experimentation. The study is a philosophical interrogation of personality-celebrity-prominence as a news marker/source, foist on Africa in contradistinction to Africa's pristine worldview. As a concept paper, this research functionalizes the applicability of Ubuntu in news practice in Africa, suggesting that determinant and validity like prominence with Western predisposition and cognition should be seen beyond the prism of celebrities. It holds that prominence, as subject of news source, should be broadened within the context of community testament as validation of communal personality rather than individual persons.

Published: July 2023

Body and beauty care are considered essential in everyday life of a young adult. This has attracted the attention of the cosmetic industry to respond with products that serve these varying interests. Not only are the youth interested in using cosmetic products, but they also consider the greenness of the cosmetic products. This has forced the corporate world to churn out products that are considered safe for the environment and also engage in practices that are considered green. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, the chapter assesses how students' exposure to green marketing practices influences their purchase of cosmetic products over time. The chapter uses eco-label, eco-brand, and environmental advertising as predictors of students' purchasing behaviour of cosmetic products. Further, PLS-SEM is used to examine the effect of green marketing tools on students' purchasing decisions. The study's findings suggest that eco-label and environmental advertising influence the purchase of cosmetic products. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Published: July 2023

Green economy and its relevant concepts have gained popularity during the last decade to promote and support equitable and sustainable development. Developing countries have deliberately undertaken initiatives that float responsible development, valuing the magnanimity and foresight of these principles despite their barriers to the progress of a developing nation. The repeating idea of placing a tax on the production, use, and emission of carbon by industry has been recognized and implemented by governments worldwide. The principle addressed in this chapter advocates for the implementation of carbon tax measures in a selective and authoritative manner, which historically led to non-conformity, restlessness, and inefficiency. The objective of this article is to utilize Petri Nets to legalize the behavior of a multi-level marketing system to assure an effective carbon tax hierarchy to promote a green economy, to optimize it, and to model it.

This study seeks to investigate the subject matter of political parties, electoral violence, and possible consequences on democratic governance in Nigeria's Fourth Republic. In the context of electoral democracy, political parties and periodic elections are the two most essential components upon which democracy is nurtured, deepened, and sustained. Democracy gives the citizens the opportunity to actively take part in the governance of their country. In some developed democracies, there are minimal occurrences of violence during and after elections, unlike Nigeria where electoral violence holds sway in all elections. This chapter examines the causes of the continuous occurrences of electoral violence in all the elections conducted in Nigeria since the rebirth of democracy in 1999. The research relies on the secondary sources of data collection sources. The chapter concludes and recommends tangible strategies and ways for reducing the trend of electoral violence in order to ensure that future elections are free and seen to be free, fair, and credible.

Published: July 2023

The Nigerian democratic landscape is embedded in diverse and sometimes conflicting phenomena. One such is the constant ethnoreligious crises. These compound issues of ethnicity and religion have affected facets of Nigerian society. Nevertheless, the nation having ‘survived' for this long indicates something we may not be paying sufficient attention to. The good thing about a dilemma is that it requires constant management. The import of this study is to interrogate how we can manage ethnoreligious crises without allowing them to consume the fragile nature of our polity. The qualitative research was elicited through interviews and phone calls of some academic scholars to feel their impulse about the plausible ways this issue can be better managed to enhance our fragile democratic structures. The outcome of the analyzed interviews and interactions gives some hope that with some sense of decorum on all political players and society at large, the dilemma, notwithstanding, can be managed with less adverse impact on the political development of the most populous African nation, Nigeria.
