BackgroundAlthough safe abortion is a human right, some research indicates that abortion can be considered a life event that could trigger an adverse psychological reaction, including mental ill health, particularly in vulnerable women. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions affect women’s mental and physical health while increasing psychological risk; hence, measures are needed to improve the quality of life (QoL) of women post termination of pregnancy (ToP). The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological effects of abortion on women provided with this service in Rwanda, and factors surrounding QoL after service provision.MethodsAn interpretive description design was used. Focus group discussions were used to hear the voices of 30 women and girls who had sought ToP services. The six steps of interpretive description together with framework analysis guided the analysis.ResultsFrom responses provided by the participants with experience of ToP services five themes and six sub-themes were generated, (1) Ambivalence with mixed feelings and uncertainty, anger, wonder, and frustration; (2) Insecurity and abortion stigma, with judgement and inadequacy; (3) Personalized care with respectful care and dignity and self-reliance; (4) Lack of connection with relationships, coping, and a sense of belonging; (5) Wellness and preferences for care with hope and positive physical health. ConclusionThe lack of psychological support post ToP negatively affects QoL and indicates an opportunity to include a psychological support package in the ToP service provision, which is the predictor of positive mental health to improve QoL in Rwanda.Rwanda J Med Health Sci. 2024;7(1):116-130
Nectar Abundance in Semi-natural Species-Rich Grassland Compared to Agri-Environmental Wildflower Strips
Authors:   , King Helen
Published: April 2024

Land use change including agricultural intensification have caused pollinators to decline. Given the extensive pollinator loss, it has become important to quantify their food resource to help develop and improve conservation actions. Nectar resources have been measured within urban and rural landscapes, but few studies have undertaken a comparative quantification for agri-environmental schemes such as semi-natural species-rich grasslands and planted agri-environmental wildflower strips, leaving an important knowledge gap in plant-pollinator interactions and food resources within these habitats. This study quantified the nectar supply of two habitats - semi natural species rich grasslands and planted agri-environmental wildflower strips in three farms in the Cotswolds and West Midlands. Overall, thirty-six flowering plants were identified and assigned a nectar sugar value using secondary data to enable the comparison of nectar between the two habitats. Twenty-eight pollinator species were identified within the 90 quadrats and were assigned a behaviour of feeding, collecting pollen, foraging, and resting to investigate how pollinators within the groups Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera interacted with the flowering plant species identified. The planted agri-environmental wildflower strips provided twice as much nectar than the semi-natural species-rich grassland. Which was underpinned by a low number of flowering plants, Centaurea nigra and Leucanthemum vulgare providing most of the nectar resources. A total of 228 pollinator visits were recorded. Though no significant results the pollinators did use the habitats differently. Butterflies were found mostly in the semi-natural species-rich grassland and bumblebees and hoverflies mostly found within the planted agri-environmental wildflower strips. These results indicate that pollinators are using the habitats differently for their resources needs of food and nesting. Centaurea nigra was highest visited flowering plant with 48% of the total visits. There were two significant relationships with floral traits that attracted pollinator visits, which were the amount of open floral units and the nectar value.
Teaching of Western Literary Theories in Higher Education Institutions in Bangladesh: An Empirical Case Study
Authors:   , Haque Md Azabul
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this research is to investigate the pedagogical approaches and cultural anxieties while teaching and learning the western literary theories in the Bangladeshi higher education institutions. The thesis examines whether the habits, traditions and beliefs of the Bangladeshi pupils are affected by the ideologies or critical traits of those western theories or not. Besides, the study offers a critical academic discussion concerning the pedagogy of teaching those theories, their influence on students and the tension emerged while teaching them in Bangladeshi perspective. This research explores the curriculum, syllabi, social milieu as well as the views and experiences of students and teachers to reach conclusions and potential recommendations. It adopts qualitative case study methodology. But it also uses quantitative tools for results and analysis. The study sample consists of some fifteen representative universities from both public and private ones. The study participants included around fifteen students and one teacher from every institution for data collection. The main data collection instruments were: questionnaire, interviews and documents which are categorised, analysed and discussed critically. The central findings of this paper conclude that the pupils have difficulty in dealing with the theories. There are some tensions and issues that impede both teaching and learning indicating that the pedagogy and curriculum should be redesigned with the integration of the local philosophies or theories for the better understanding and critical performance of the pupils.
Quantized collision invariants on the sphere
Authors: Anwasia Benjamin , Arsénio Diogo
Published: April 2024

We show that a measurable function $g:\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\to\mathbb{R}$, with
$d\geq 3$, satisfies the functional relation \begin{equation*}
g(\omega)+g(\omega_*)=g(\omega')+g(\omega_*'), \end{equation*} for all
admissible $\omega,\omega_*,\omega',\omega_*'\in\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ in the sense
that \begin{equation*} \omega+\omega_*=\omega'+\omega_*', \end{equation*} if
and only if it can be written as \begin{equation*} g(\omega)=A+B\cdot\omega,
\end{equation*} for some constants $A\in \mathbb{R}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^d$.
Such functions form a family of quantized collision invariants which play a
fundamental role in the study of hydrodynamic regimes of the
Boltzmann--Fermi--Dirac equation near Fermionic condensates, i.e., at low
temperatures. In particular, they characterize the elastic collisional dynamics
of Fermions near a statistical equilibrium where quantum effects are
predominant.
Effects and Implications of Self-discovery Writing for Creative Activities of College Students: Focusing on Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Subjects
Authors: Kim Ye-seul , You Yeong-mahn
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of self-discovery writing on broadcasting, video, and media majors through creative activities, and to derive educational implications accordingly. The self-reflection writing presented in the  class went through a total of three stages based on the structural format of the three acts of video studied by Syd Field in the United States. As a result of analyzing the types of the virtual character settings that appeared in the creative output of a total of 34 learners, I was able summarize them into three types: 1) a type that reflects two or more 2) a type that shows human duality 3) a type that projects oneself as another being. As a result, Ifound that self-discovery writing plays a very important role in the development of learners' creativity along with self-reflection. In addition, this study confirmed the idea that a work which begins with ‘I’ is directly connected to rich material and that ‘self-discovery’ is highly likely to expand into voluntary learning through the integrated development of the concepts covered in the class. The educational implications of this include the re-examination of educational content through learner understanding, the development of convergence education in connection with major subjects, and the introduction of writing as a qualitative means for sincere learning. Currently, AI learning-based writing research is being actively conducted, but ‘self’ learning is as of yet an exclusively human domain, and self-discovery learning through self-exploration needs to be used in various subjects.

The milky mangrove Excoecaria agallocha is a latex-secreting mangrove that are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. While its poisonous latex is regarded as a potential source of phytochemicals for biomedical applications, the genomic resources of E. agallocha remains limited. Here, we present a chromosomal level genome of E. agallocha, assembled from the combination of PacBio long-read sequencing and Omni-C data. The resulting assembly size is 1,332.45 Mb and has high contiguity and completeness with a scaffold N50 of 58.9 Mb and a BUSCO score of 98.4%, with 86.08% of sequences anchored to 18 pseudomolecules. 73,740 protein-coding genes were also predicted. The milky mangrove genome provides a useful resource for further understanding the biosynthesis of phytochemical compounds in E. agallocha.

Key educational competences and infomedia literacy competences: theoretical aspect
Authors: KALІUZHKA Nataliіa , SAMOILENKO Nelia
Published: April 2024

The article provides an updated list and names of key competencies that formed the basis of the key competencies of the «New Ukrainian School» and are taken into account in the State standard of basic secondary education and comprehensive skills and abilities for all competencies. It is noted that different levels of education play a leading role in the acquisition and development of basic competencies: preschool, school, professional, retraining, self-education, lifelong education. Modern competitive conditions on the labor market require the education system to focus on the formation of a specialist not so much as knowledge, but professional competences that will allow solving various tasks of today. Accordingly, the basis of systemic transformations of the educational process should be a clear understanding of the set of competencies, which are developed within each branch and on the basis of which its meaningful characteristics should be formed. In competence education, the formation of personal values, aspirations and readiness to realize one’s potential are important, in particular, the ability to work with information - to search, select, analyze, and use it. Since the key educational competencies are both general and universal in nature, the competencies of infomedia literacy do not always clearly fit into them or clearly correlate with them. However, key educational competencies can be considered a superstructure based on subject competencies, and in higher education, on professional competencies. And this provides ample opportunities for the implementation of infomedia literacy and the formation of an appropriate complex of knowledge, skills, abilities.

Ozenoxacin: A Review of Clinical Efficacy on Impetigo Treatment
Authors:   ISSSTE Dr Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Carrillo Daniela Guerrero , Carrillo Alejandra Guerrero ,   Hospital Materno Infantil Durango
Published: April 2024

Impetigo, a common bacterial skin infection primarily affecting children, presents a global prevalence of 11.2%, with higher rates among children aged 2-5 years. Caused mainly by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, impetigo lesions typically appear on the face, neck, and hands, spreading easily through scratching and close contact. Effective disease control is essential to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications such as rheumatic heart disease, and reduce transmission rates. Treatment with antimicrobial agents, especially topical antibiotics, is recommended for localized impetigo. Oral antibiotics are reserved for extensive or systemic infections and outbreaks. However, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), poses a significant challenge. There is a pressing need for alternative antimicrobial agents effective against resistant strains. Ozenoxacin, a new topical quinolone, inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication. Unlike other quinolones, ozenoxacin effectively inhibits both enzymes at low concentrations, penetrating bacterial cells rapidly and achieving high intrabacterial concentrations. In tests against S. aureus and S. pyogenes, ozenoxacin exhibited superior bactericidal activity compared to mupirocin and fusidic acid, achieving a 3-log reduction in colony-forming units within 4 hours. Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ozenoxacin 1% cream in treating impetigo, with placebo-controlled trials confirming its therapeutic effectiveness. Ozenoxacin holds promise as a valuable addition to the armamentarium against impetigo, particularly in the face of rising antibiotic resistance.impetigo, therapy, ozenoxacin
The Innovation of Products and Services of Islamic Banks in Indonesia: the Optimal Role of Sharia Supervisory Board in The Industry 5.0 Era

The innovation of banking products and services has seen significant growth. However, the pace of innovation in product and service offerings within Islamic banking has been comparatively slower. Make it a challenge for Islamic banking, particularly the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), to fulfill a dynamic role. The research aims to enhance the role of the SSB in encouraging innovation in Islamic banks, particularly in the context of the industrial era 5.0. The study employs a qualitative method with ethnographic techniques, including observations and interviews with stakeholders such as the SSB, Islamic bank employees, customers, and academics. The research findings indicate that the performance of Islamic banking has improved, but it needs to be more innovative to compete in the industrial era 5.0. This can be achieved by increasing the development of products and services, such as e-money, that have high bargaining power. The role of the SSB in Islamic banking must be more optimal, involving improving the quality and quantity of human resources, issuing opinions on needed products and services, conducting continuous monitoring, and strengthening detailed supervision. Furthermore, SSB and Islamic banking must synergize with each other in improving products and services to remain competitive in the industrial era 5.0. The study concluded that the optimal role of SSB plays an important role in driving innovation in Islamic banking.

Published: April 2024

Background: Football is the most popular sport globally, with approximately 200,000 professional players and 240 million amateur players. It is a high-intensity intermittent sport that can lead to fatigue, increasing the risk of injury. Unfortunately, injuries in young athletes are still not widely studied, making not much data available. This study tries to fill the gap by investigating the characteristics of injuries in young football athletes in Indonesia. In addition, it attempts to determine the relationship between BMI, exposure time to training and matches on injuries. Methods: This study used a retrospective cohort design with a survey method on EPA (Elite Pro Academy) U14, U16, and U18 youth football athletes from 18 teams in each age group. The data were collected from 838 young footballers as the sample. Results: This study found no association between BMI and injury (p > 0.05), while exposure time did have an association with injury (p < 0.05). Based on the injury location, sports injuries were mostly found in the ankle 273 (39%). The highest injury type was contusion 36%, followed by strain 25% and sprain 18%. Regarding severity, most cases were classified as minor injuries (4-7 days), with 299 (43%). The defender position had the most injuries, 188 (35%). Osgood Schlatter was most prevalent in athletes aged 13, with 29 cases. Meanwhile, the total injury incidence is 3.9/1000 hours. Conclusions: This study found that training exposure time was associated with the number of injuries. It also recorded that most injuries occur in the lower limbs, especially ankle ligament injuries. The defender received high attention as it is considered the most vulnerable position. Finally, the peak incidence of Osgood Schlatter occurred at the age of 13.

Hormonal variations during the menstrual cycle (MC) impact muscular strength and flexibility in women practicing strength training, potentially leading to performance reductions and increased injury susceptibility. Understanding these variations across MC phases is crucial for precise training program guidance. This cross-sectional, exploratory study assessed muscular strength and flexibility levels during the MC in 20 women (aged 20-35) engaged in strength training for at least 6 months. The Sit and Reach Test (SRT) measured flexibility, and the 1-Maximum Repetition Test (1RM) leg extension evaluated muscular strength during menstrual, post-menstrual, and pre-menstrual phases. While the post-menstrual period showed the highest strength values (50.65 ± 17.70 kg), no significant differences were observed compared to other phases. However, flexibility was significantly higher in the post-menstrual period (29.43 ± 8.69 cm) compared to menstrual (p=0.002) and pre-menstrual phases (p=0.001). Statistically, no significant differences were found in strength performance. Nevertheless, flexibility appeared influenced by MC phases, with superior outcomes in the post-menstrual period. This research enhances our understanding of how MC phases may impact strength and flexibility in women engaged in strength training, providing valuable insights for tailoring training programs to individual needs.

The coach relationship is one of the keys to success for an athlete. This relationship will be good if each person has the communication skills to accept and understand each other. This research aims to explore the role of a coach in understanding an athlete's condition in order to maximize the role of communication in that relationship. To conduct this research on the coach's role in understanding athletes' condition and maximizing communication functions, a selective study approach will be employed. The research sample was 173 (124 men, 49 women) from various sports (accuracy; martial arts; games; measurable) who participated in this research. The average age of participants was 20.07. The research results obtained were then analyzed using simple linear regression. This research uses the Coach Confirmation Instrument (CFI) with a value of α = 0.95. The calculation results of the three data (gender, sports involvement and type of sport) obtained a value of > 0.05, which means there is no significant relationship between gender, sports involvement and type of sport on coach confirmation. This means that gender has no impact on coach confirmation. Likewise with sports involvement and type of sport on coach confirmation. The conclusion of this research is that the coach's communication skills play an important role in understanding the athlete's condition, regardless of gender (male; female), sports involvement (individual; team), type of sport (accuracy; martial arts; games; measurable).
Keywords: The role of the coach, relationship between coach and athlete, type of sport, gender, communication function.

This study aims to analyze the relationship of organizational culture and service quality to the performance of amateur boxing athletes in Indonesia through achievement motivation as a mediator variable. This correlational quantitative approach used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of Smart-PLS. The sample was 100 amateur boxers aged 22.5±2.0 years with 6.1±0.8 years of training experience. The validity test of the Fornell-Lacker Criterion result shows a construct value greater than other constructs (>0.7). Meanwhile, the reliability test of all items in the variable showed the results of composite reliability (>0.7) and Cronbach Alpha (>0.7). The R square value on the performance of amateur boxing athletes is 0.764 or 76.4%, while the R square on achievement motivation is 0.570 or 57%. The SRMR value or Standardized Root Mean Square 0.077 < 0.10 or 0.077 < 0.08, then the model fits with the data. Then the hypothesis results, organizational culture on performance P-Values 0.000, service quality on the performance of P-Values 0.006, organizational culture on performance through achievement motivation of P-Values 0.003, service quality on performance through achievement motivation of P-Values 0.023, meaning that the four hypotheses are acceptable. The combination of organizational culture and service quality must be united, especially in achievement sports because the study of achievement sports is always associated with the ability of athletes, psychology or the ability of coaches without reporting the influence of other variables. Future research studies need to use mixed methods, considering that organizational culture and service quality variables have broad aspects, and of course, the organizational culture of each country is different

Groundwater is the primary source of water in the study region, both for domestic and agricultural needs. The main objective of this research is to identify the groundwater potential zones via remote sensing (RS) and Geographic information system (GIS), which is essential in evaluating, preserving, and monitoring various groundwater-related development programs. Man-made pressures include over-exploitation of groundwater and climate changes have led to a strain on groundwater resources. As the use of consumable water increases for human consumption, agriculture, industrial growth, municipal, and pharmaceutical needs to evaluate the groundwater potential and aquifer productivity also increase. Groundwater inspections have been historically done by field survey method, which is inefficient or not practical in terms of time and resources. Arc GIS software is utilized to manipulate datasets. The LULC map of the study area will be developed using Landsat 8 satellite data. A soil map and rainfall map will be created using the data sources from USGS, a Parent soil map will creates using the data from NARC and slope map, lineament density and drainage density from ASTER from earth data. Seven thematic maps will be applied, each with appropriate weight and rank assigned based on its characteristics and connection with groundwater. All the thematic layers combine into a GIS domain, and weight values are put to the attribute table for each polygon. The groundwater potential zone map will be classified into different zones, i.e., very poor, poor, moderate, good, and very good. These results will help hydrogeologists, decision-makers, planners, and local authorities formulate better groundwater resource planning in the Phewa watershed area.
