Authors: Lidete Adisalem , kidan Atsede G , Kaleayu Mebrahtu
Published: January 2025

Background: Hypoglycemia is an acute medical condition that occurs when blood sugar falls below 70 mg/dl. It is a common and potentially life-threatening complication in children with diabetes. Caregivers play a crucial role in managing and caring for their child's diabetes. This thesis was aimed at assessing hypoglycemia prevention knowledge, practice, and factors associated among caregivers of diabetic children on follow-up at the Ayder Comprehensive specialized hospital Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic in 2024.

Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was carried out between September 2023 and April 2024. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data, and statistical tools for social sciences software, version 25.0, was used for analysis. The dependent and independent variables were tested for relationships using bivariate and multivariate analyses.

Result: Of the 162 enrolled caregivers of diabetic children, 50.6% were mothers, and 81.5% were urban dwellers. In this study, thirty (18.5%) of the caregivers had good knowledge, and sixty-eight (42%) of them had good practices towards hypoglycemia prevention. Formal training and education programs had a significant association with good knowledge (AOR = 17.9, CI: 4.6-70.2). Good hypoglycemia prevention knowledge had a significant association with hypoglycemia prevention practice (AOR = 0.32; CI: 0.13–0.76).

Conclusion: The knowledge and practice of hypoglycemia prevention among caregivers of diabetic children were found to be low. Providing formal training and education to the caregivers and counseling regarding hypoglycemia during their visit are essential for the improvement of their knowledge and practice in hypoglycemia prevention.

Authors: Das Monalisa , Pundir Megha , Patra Sanjib
Published: January 2025

The lactovegetarian diet, primarily followed throughout the Indian subcontinent, including India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan, is centred on plants and milk. This diet includes Polyphenols, plant and milk-based lipids, and high-fiber carbohydrates. Plant-based diets mostly promote the growth of good bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, and Bifidobacterium while reducing the numbers of Clostridium and Enterococcus. Probiotics have recently been the topic of scientific investigation about their ability to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. The production of SCFAs, CLA, GABA, and ACE-inhibitory peptides by the probiotic strains Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria has been linked to possible hypotensive effects.

Authors: Alizadeh Moein Vida , Şahin Ayşe
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to explore the relationships between moral reasoning, fear of negative evaluation, and social competence in individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). By examining these variables, the study sought to identify key predictors of moral reasoning in this population. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 364 participants with ADHD, recruited from clinical settings. Participants completed self-report measures, including the Defining Issues Test (DIT) for moral reasoning, the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE), and the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) for social competence. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-27, with Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses to examine the relationships between the variables. Descriptive statistics revealed mean scores of 38.47 (SD = 7.53) for moral reasoning, 49.28 (SD = 10.34) for fear of negative evaluation, and 75.82 (SD = 12.45) for social competence. Pearson correlation showed a significant negative relationship between fear of negative evaluation and moral reasoning (r = -.42, p < .001), and a significant positive relationship between social competence and moral reasoning (r = .38, p < .001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that fear of negative evaluation and social competence together accounted for 34% of the variance in moral reasoning (R² = .34, p < .001). The findings suggest that both fear of negative evaluation and social competence are significant predictors of moral reasoning in individuals with ADHD. Enhancing social skills and reducing social anxiety may positively impact moral reasoning. These insights underscore the importance of targeted interventions to support the social and moral development of individuals with ADHD.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between curiosity, social support, and emotion regulation in individuals with specific learning disorders (SLD). The objective was to determine how social support and emotion regulation predict levels of curiosity in this population, providing insights for effective interventions. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 252 participants, selected based on the Morgan and Krejcie table. Data were collected using the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II (CEI-II) for curiosity, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for social support, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) for emotion regulation. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS-27 to examine the relationships between the variables. Descriptive statistics indicated moderate levels of curiosity, social support, and emotion regulation among participants. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between curiosity and both social support (r = 0.52, p < 0.001) and emotion regulation (r = 0.46, p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that social support and emotion regulation collectively accounted for 37% of the variance in curiosity (R² = 0.37, F(2, 249) = 72.19, p < 0.001). Both social support (B = 0.32, p < 0.001) and emotion regulation (B = 0.25, p < 0.001) emerged as significant predictors of curiosity. The findings highlight the significant roles of social support and emotion regulation in fostering curiosity among individuals with SLD. Supportive social environments and effective emotion regulation strategies are critical for promoting curiosity and engagement. These insights can inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing the well-being and academic success of individuals with SLD.

Authors: Lai Wang , Karevan Brojerd Kiyana
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore therapists' experiences with nonverbal communication techniques in psychotherapy for children with autism. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach to gain in-depth insights into therapists' experiences. Sixteen licensed therapists with at least two years of experience working with children with autism were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, each lasting 60-90 minutes, and were transcribed verbatim for analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and patterns in the data. NVivo software was used to facilitate the organization and analysis of qualitative data, ensuring rigor through triangulation, member checking, and maintaining an audit trail. The analysis revealed four main themes: implementation of nonverbal techniques, perceived effectiveness, challenges and barriers, and strategies for overcoming barriers. Therapists reported using a variety of nonverbal techniques such as gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, body language, and physical proximity. These techniques were perceived as highly effective in enhancing understanding, emotional connection, behavioral improvements, and self-expression in children with autism. However, challenges such as therapist-child compatibility, resource limitations, environmental factors, and inconsistent parental involvement were noted. Strategies to overcome these challenges included continuous training, collaborative approaches, adaptive techniques, creating supportive environments, and leveraging technology. Nonverbal communication techniques are essential in psychotherapy for children with autism, significantly enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Despite challenges, these techniques, when tailored to individual needs and supported by continuous training and collaboration, can greatly benefit children with autism. Future research should focus on larger and more diverse samples, quantitative measures of effectiveness, and the role of cultural sensitivity in nonverbal communication strategies.

Wolfgang Huber új könyvéről nem tudok szokványos ismertetőt írni. A könyv a magyarországi megjelenésétől fogva számomra közösségi élmény, hiszen a Kálvin Kiadó és a Luther Kiadó által szervezett könyvbemutatón három olvasó osztotta meg a gondolatait. A könyvbemutatóról készült felvételre több reflexiót kaptam, ezek is tovább dolgoztak bennem, mire elszántam magamat az ismertető megírására. Nehezen kezdtem hozzá. Arra jutottam, hogy nem tudok írni a Lelkipásztor olvasóinak a könyvről anélkül, hogy előtte ne gondoljam végig az egyik dilemmámat, amely Bonhoeffer élete és teológiája összefüggésében régóta foglalkoztat. Ebbe a dilemmába fogom majd beleolvasni Wolfgang Huber könyvét, és arról fogok írni, hogy mit találtam a könyvben, ami a dilemmához kapcsolódik.

Network Intrusion Detection Using Extreme Machine Learning Algorithm with Extreme Gradient Boosting for Feature Selection
Authors: Ntwiga Alex , Araka Erick
Published: January 2025

This study addresses the challenge of improving the performance of the Extreme Learning Machine model, particularly in accurately identifying minority classes in unbalanced datasets like UNSW-NB15 and NSL-KDD. The research question guiding this study is: How can we improve the ELM model's performance for better accuracy and minority class recognition in network intrusion detection? The methodology includes balancing the dataset to address the issue of poor minority class identification, using XGBoost for feature selection to reduce the curse of high data dimensionality, Particle Swarm Optimization finally used to optimize the model. The results show that the proposed approach outperformed other models when tested on the NSL-KDD dataset, achieving accuracies of 94.29% for binary classification and 89.02% for multiclass classification. However, on the UNSW-NB15 dataset, the model achieved a binary accuracy of 90.79%, which was lower than the performance of Random Forest (93.02%) and Decision Tree (92.76). In multiclass classification, the accuracy was 78.79%, underperforming compared to other state-of-the-art models. The study concludes that although the suggested approach performs well in binary classification, future studies need to focus on improving detection accuracies of datasets that are heavily unbalanced with multiple classes like UNSW-NB15 dataset.
TVET Inclusiveness as Pathway to Economic Independence for Women Living in Nigeria's Informal Settlements
Authors: Benshak Alice Bernard , Adepetu Adebola Nurudeen , Amadi Gloria Ekenedilichukwu
Published: January 2025

Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is viewed globally as a poverty alleviation strategy because of its potential to create work. Work leads to income, and income drives economic development. This study seeks to investigate women's inclusion in TVET and explores the role of TVET in elevating economic empowerment and sustainability for women residing in informal settlements. The study employed an extensive literature review of related peer-reviewed articles, policy documents on TVET, Social Development Goals (SDGs) and other related reports. This was done through a wide range of searches from databases like Google Scholar and institutional repositories to provide a robust foundation for understanding barriers and opportunities in TVET. Findings revealed that there are deeply entrenched socio-cultural norms that prioritise male education and employment over that of females, many women lack access to financial resources to cover their tuition, there is a lack of comprehensive data on women living in informal settlements, inadequate basic infrastructure such as schools and training centres, and inadequate information dissemination about TVET programs within the communities leading to low enrolment rates. Therefore, it was recommended that Private Sector Partnerships should be encouraged to provide funding support through scholarships or stipends for women, policy interventions mandating gender quotas in TVET programs, and community engagements through collaborations with local leaders to address cultural barriers to women’s education will improve access to the training and reduce disparities in the enrolment, among others. additionally, further research focusing specifically on women living in informal settlements could provide valuable insights for designing targeted policy interventions that would promote inclusivity, equity, and empowerment for sustainable development.
Research Progress on the Impact of Non-Financial Information Disclosure on the Hub Function of the Capital Market
Authors: Ye Xixi , Zheng Zhanhao
Published: January 2025

Compared with traditional financial information, non-financial information accounts for a larger proportion of the company's external disclosure, has a more flexible form of expression, and has more diverse release channels. It is more likely to affect the hub functions of the capital market, such as asset pricing, resource allocation, and risk management, and also brings new opportunities and challenges to market supervision. However, both in theory and practice, there is still a lack of in-depth understanding of the impact of non-financial information disclosure on the hub function of the capital market. Therefore, this article sorts out the definition and disclosure motivation of non-financial information, and reviews and analyzes the literature on its impact on the hub function of the capital market in terms of economic consequences, impact mechanism, and regulatory research, in order to provide meaningful reference and reference for capital market supervision and resource allocation.

military importance. Over the years, the fort has served as a hotel, an
army-training centre, and an administrative centre and has undergone
various structural and architectural changes. The main objective of this
study was to assess the physical condition of the Fort Ikoma historical
building in Serengeti National Park. This study assessed the fort's
architectural and structural conditions through historical surveys, visual
inspections, and materials analyses. The findings revealed significant
deterioration due to weather exposure, lack of maintenance, and
inappropriate interventions, leading to extensive decay in walls, roofs,
and other structural elements. Nevertheless, a comprehensive Building
Condition Assessment Rating System (BCARS) has revealed that the
fort severely deteriorated with significant structural, architectural, and
service-related defects. The building is rated five at a critical condition
level, requiring urgent and extensive restoration work to preserve its
historical value. This study recommends promptly initiating a
comprehensive rehabilitation plan using historically appropriate
materials and techniques alongside modern reinforcement methods to
preserve the fort's historical and cultural significance.

La posesión, la prescripción (adquisitiva y extintiva) y las obligaciones hereditarias constituyen pilares fundamentales del derecho civil, cuya interpretación y aplicación han sido objeto de análisis y debate en los sistemas jurídicos de América Latina, se tiene por objetivo de investigación desarrollar un análisis comparativo de la posesión, usucapión y prescripción en el derecho civil latinoamericano. Se revisaron 12 articulos científicos. La posesión, como base para la adquisición de derechos reales, refleja tanto su dimensión teórica, vinculada al dominio, como su aplicación práctica en la regularización de situaciones de tenencia informal, especialmente en contextos de vulnerabilidad social. La usucapión, por su parte, se presenta como un mecanismo clave para consolidar derechos de propiedad a través del tiempo, equilibrando los intereses de los poseedores y los propietarios, mientras que la prescripción extintiva opera como una herramienta para limitar la perpetuidad de las obligaciones, garantizando la certeza en las relaciones jurídicas.

Published: January 2025

Se presenta como objetivo de investigación analizar los servicios públicos y derecho del Buen Vivir de los ciudadanos en Ecuador. La investigación se basó en una revisión documental en 12 artículos científicos. En el ámbito jurídico ecuatoriano, los servicios públicos y el Buen Vivir (Sumak Kawsay) constituyen derechos fundamentales consagrados en la Constitución de 2008, que establecen un marco normativo orientado a garantizar la dignidad humana, la equidad social y la sostenibilidad ambiental. No obstante, su implementación enfrenta desafíos jurídicos significativos, como las tensiones entre el estatismo y el liberalismo en la provisión de servicios, así como la falta de mecanismos claros para la exigibilidad de los derechos colectivos asociados al Buen Vivir. La pandemia de COVID-19 puso en evidencia vulneraciones a principios constitucionales como la igualdad, la progresividad y la no regresividad, especialmente en sectores vulnerables.
