Authors: Dharmarajlu Santhi M.
Published: December 2024

All women go through menopause at some point in their lives, but because of the nature of their jobs, teachers have it harder than other female employees. This study aimed to assess middle-aged teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and quality of life-related to menopause after receiving education on health-promoting lifestyle modification. A quasi-experimental Time Series design with pre-intervention, immediate, post-intervention, and a three-month follow-up was employed in this study. Through a purposive sampling technique, 84 middle-aged teachers were selected. A pre-designed questionnaire was used to gather information on knowledge, attitude, and the Menopause Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) on menopause. The health-promoting lifestyle modification education was given through lectures and group discussions. Using SPSS version 22, repeated measure ANOVA was used to assess the impact of educational instruction at the three time periods. The mean knowledge score was 3.6±1.2 at the pre-intervention, 21.3±1.6 at the immediate post-intervention, and 24.4±1.3 at the 3-month follow-up. With a statistical significance of (p 0.0001), it was found that the knowledge score at the 3-month follow-up was considerably higher than it was at the pre-intervention (p 0.0001). At each of the three time intervals, the mean scores for attitude were 14.8±2.7, 39.4±1.01, and 43.3±1.2. This shows, that the educational intervention had changed the mean attitude scores, with a statistical significance of (p 0.0001). Health education focused on health-promoting lifestyle modifications was effective in improving the knowledge, attitude, MENQOL, and overall QOL of middle-aged teachers.

Authors: Omaima Zubair A.
Published: December 2024

Researches indicate that reproductive and sexual health awareness is a major health indicator in communities. This study aimed to assess women’s awareness of reproductive health in the Iraqi community. A cross-sectional survey in Iraqi governorates was implemented, and a convenient sample of 3416 women participated in the study. Data were collected using a well-designed structured questionnaire. SPSS version 26 was used for data analysis and description statistics. The study found low awareness about reproductive and sexual health among women. While one-third showed adequate awareness regarding premarital care, child marriage, and breastfeeding. Only 21% and 10% of the participants, respectively, having adequate awareness of sexually transmitted disease types and contraceptive methods. Remarkably, a large majority lacked awareness of healthy sleep patterns. 47% of the participants expressed adequate awareness of the stress effects on health. Overall, using health facilities appropriately and regularly was present in only 5% of the participants with the preferential to private sector. Low reproductive health awareness was significantly associated with low educational levels among participants (p-value < .00001). The study revealed that awareness of sexual and reproductive health among Iraqi women is unsatisfactory in the majority of its determinants. Education programs targeting all Iraqi communities are crucial for improving understanding of this vital subject. Future research is advised to examine the effect of digital health system platforms in disseminating knowledge of reproductive health and preventing diseases.

Authors: Liang S , Liu HB
Published: December 2024

This was a case report and literature review, aimed to strengthen the understanding and therapy of mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia combined with cold agglutinin disease and pulmonary embolism in children. A 7-year-old boy was taken to the hospital with fever for 7 days, cough for 5 days, and recurrent cyanosis at the extremities of one day duration. Pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed pulmonary embolism, double pneumonia, and pleural effusion. Mycoplasma (MP) antibody IgM, Coombs test, and anti C3d were positive while anti-IgG was negative. After treatment, the patient improved. One month after discharge, the Coombs test was negative, and pulmonary CTA showed no pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis was severe MP with cold agglutinin disease and pulmonary embolism. The cases were reviewed, involving a total of 18 cases. Two patients had pulmonary embolism, and one had Raynaud’s phenomenon with superior mesenteric artery and popliteal artery embolism. After treatment, 16 cases recovered while two cases were lost to follow up. We conclude that although the disease may be associated with severe complications such as embolism, acrocyanosis, and gangrene, the prognosis is relatively good for most patients.

We are writing to address the growing interest in the role of artificial intelligence (AI) within healthcare, particularly in the field of reproductive health. As technology continues to evolve, AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to transform how we diagnose, treat, and improve access to reproductive services, especially in underserved communities. AI-driven tools, supported by machine learning and big data analytics, are already demonstrating their potential in enhancing outcomes in reproductive health. These tools can predict fertility outcomes with impressive accuracy, optimize in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates, and identify early signs of reproductive disorders, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and ovarian cancer. By analyzing biomarkers, medical histories, and lifestyle factors, AI algorithms empower healthcare providers to deliver personalized and effective treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

Published: December 2024

This was an original article, mainly explored the effects of the first frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) time on pregnancy outcomes after progestin primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) regimen. Our study implemented a retrospective analysis of 315 infertile patients who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment from January 2021 to June 2023. Patients were divided into three groups based on their first FET time. Group A prepared FET at the first menstrual period after oocyte retrieval; Group B prepared FET at the second menstrual period,; while Group C prepared FET at the third menstrual period. The general information of patients, clinical data of PPOS cycle, clinical data of FET cycle, along with pregnancy outcomes were compared in three groups. The results showed no significant differences in general information of patients, clinical data of PPOS cycle, clinical data of FET cycle and pregnancy outcomes among three groups (P>0.05). The results showed that the choice of the first FET time for whole embryo freezing patients had no significant effect on the outcome of assisted pregnancy. We conclude that the first menstrual cycle after the oocyte retrieval cycle can be considered to select the appropriate FET scheme and performance of the FET.

Published: December 2024

This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between women's attitudes toward sexuality during pregnancy and their body image and to determine the predictors of pregnant women's sexual attitudes. The research was conducted with 515 pregnant women in Turkey. Study data were collected using a sociodemographic data form, the Attitude Scale toward Sexuality during Pregnancy, and the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale. As women's positive attitudes toward sexuality increased, their dissatisfaction with their body image decreased. It was determined that women with a positive body image during pregnancy had a less anxious attitude toward sexual intercourse, developed positive beliefs and values toward sexuality, and approved of sexuality during pregnancy. The factors that explained 15.8% of pregnant women's attitudes towards sexuality were body image, age, gestational week, satisfaction with sexuality during pregnancy, and knowledge of sexuality during pregnancy. It is recommended that body image, age, gestational week, satisfaction with sexuality in pregnancy and knowledge of sexuality in pregnancy should be taken into consideration in order to accurately determine the sexual attitudes of pregnant women in obstetric clinics.

MAHASWETA DEVI AS A PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL: GLIMPSES OF RESISTANCE IN DRAUPADI
Authors: Nair Reena
Published: December 2024

Though India rejoices in the spell of chimerical prosperity, it is still mangled by the shackles of outmoded perceptions, oppression and attitudes of power. Over some time discrimination based on gender has been causing harrowing experiences to the women population weakening the social fabric. This high sense of insecurity, identity crisis and fragmentation felt within one’s own society paves the way for the bold intervention of academic and writer intellectuals bestowed with the special capability of strengthening and emancipating the lacerated section of the society. Many eminent writers of India came to the forefront as public intellectuals to articulate the traumatic experiences encountered by Indian women as the main subject in their narratives. Mahasweta Devi is one such writer who delineated the ceaseless exploitation and oppression faced by women and dared to make scathing comments about the unjust authority imposed on women making their lives deplorable. Through her writings, she explicitly manifested her growing concern for the oppressed and the exploited, rather victimised group. This paper attempts to examine the distinct traits that make Devi a renowned public intellectual and the imaginative ideas and ideologies manifested in her narratives that ignites the desperate urge among the victimised folk to look for ultimate solace. The paper further explores the gamut of unjust practices against subaltern women and the intriguing strategies of resistance in her celebrated short story Draupadi.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL KNOWLEDGE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND ACCESS AND BENEFIT SHARING: A STUDY IN LEGAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Bajpai Shreya , Sikarwar Chaya
Published: December 2024

India takes pride in being the custodian of invaluable traditional medical knowledge derived from its rich natural resources. This knowledge has its roots in the continuous embrace and interaction with biodiversity. As a highly diverse nation, India has a select group of individuals dedicated to preserving the biodiversity, thereby safeguarding their traditional medicinal wisdom. These indigenous people or tribes have invaluable traditional knowledge of certain skills and medicines. The transmission of this information to the general population becomes difficult since these indigenous or tribal people are constrained by territorial boundaries. However, invading their country is not a problem in order to financially exploit the indigenous people's TMD knowledge base. This has led to both the eradication of their biodiversity and the denial of it. The biodiversity legislation and Indigenous People Law were designed to protect biodiversity and the rights of indigenous group of people as a result of this expanded use of traditional medicinal knowledge.Native Indians who live in tribal areas in India use traditional medical knowledge to maintain their health and, in turn, their way of life. Multinational corporations frequently bio-pirate this tribal group’s traditional medical knowledge in order to sell it as a medicine. The primary legal issue that arises in this situation is the denial of the right to access benefit sharing, which is the significant legal paradigm introduced by national legislation adopted in accordance with the aforementioned universal laws. In addition to the Universal Laws safeguarding the rights of Indigenous groups, the Nagoya Protocol of 2010 and the Bonn Guidelines of 2001 regulate access and benefit-sharing on a global scale. Within India, the Access and Benefit Sharing Mechanism is governed by the Biodiversity Act of 2002, the Biological Diversity Rules of 2004, and the Access and Benefit Sharing Guidelines of 2014. These legislative measures aim to ensure the equitable and fair distribution of benefits by the state. Concurrently, sections 3 and 7 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, provide unrestricted access to biological diversity for any Indian citizen, as well as any corporate entity, association, or organization registered in India. The law stipulates that the State Biodiversity Board must be notified in advance to obtain such biological diversity knowledge. This paper examines the legality of pharmaceutical companies’ persistent bioprospecting activities in relation to the rights affirmed for Indigenous groups. Additionally, it investigates whether the Biological Diversity Act of 2002 infringes upon the access and benefit-sharing rights of Indigenous or Tribal groups.

Transgender students remain highly marginalized and excluded despite education policies increasingly embracing diversity across the different education systems currently in place. Despite having provisions describing the protection of generally categorized marginalized sections in the NEP 2020, India, the matter of inclusion of the Transgender population is still insufficiently met. In this paper, an analysis is made of NEP 2020’s ability to provide fairness of education for the transgender student population and where change is required. As a qualitative research approach, the study employs literature reviews, policy analysis, and thematic analysis on articles, policies, government and NGO reports and scholarly articles. Scrutinizes such provisions in the fields of education, infrastructure, anti-bullying policy, teacher training, and affirmative action as regards the trans community about NEP 2020 question of 'inclusiveness'. These include the absence of clear coding for gender-transitive accessibility, limited anti-bullying policies, and poor provisions for teachers conducting training and development for those students. It has no structural measures such as scholarships or quotas for trans-students as affirmative action. Despite NEP 2020 offering a structure to bring into being an inclusive education system, there is a large gap that impedes the progress nature can bring in the existence of the inclusion of Trans People.

Published: December 2024

The expansion of urban areas into rural regions, known as Urban Sprawl, contributes to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, where urban areas exhibit higher temperatures than their rural counterparts. Kolaka Regency is an area with significant potential for Urban Sprawl and subsequent UHI activity. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the impact of Urban Sprawl on UHI in the Kolaka region. This study simulates these changes using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, incorporating land cover data from the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) with four urban schemes: SLUCM, BEM, and the default non-UCM/land cover. The simulation also includes the Kolaka 2042 development map for Urban Sprawl projections. Simulations were conducted over 48 non-rainfall events across 12 months. The results indicated that the WRF BIG-BEM model demonstrated the highest verification accuracy and the lowest errors, with a MAPE of 4.70%, CRMSE of 1.06°C, and a correlation coefficient of 87.62%. Including BIG land cover and the BEM urban scheme enhanced the model's performance, with a MAPE of 17.92%, CRMSE of 10.11%, and a correlation improvement of 3.18%. The UHI effect predominantly ranged from -2.0 to 2.5°C, with the highest values observed in the Pomalaa mining area and central Kolaka Regency. The UHI effect was most pronounced from evening to morning, peaking during the night and early morning hours, with increased intensity during the dry season from July to September. Regression analysis revealed a trend of increasing UHI following Urban Sprawl activity, with a trend rate of 0.91°C. The R-squared value of 96.69% indicates that Urban Sprawl activity accounted for 96.69% of the UHI intensity in Kolaka, while other unexamined variables influenced 3.31%.

Pelatihan penggunaan kolam bundar HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) untuk budidaya ikan nila memberikan solusi efisien, hemat biaya, dan ramah lingkungan. Kegiatan ini dilakukan sebagai bagian dari pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Batuyang, Lombok Timur, dengan melibatkan kelompok pembudidaya ikan “Sinar Timur”, akademisi, mahasiswa, dan masyarakat. Budidaya ikan nila sebelumnya menggunakan kolam terpal yang mudah bocor atau kolam semen yang mahal. Oleh karena itu, kolam bundar HDPE dipilih sebagai alternatif inovatif. Pelatihan dilaksanakan di lahan milik pembudidaya setempat, menggunakan metode kombinasi teori dan praktik. Peserta diajarkan langkah-langkah konstruksi kolam, mulai dari pengukuran, pengelasan lembaran HDPE, persiapan lokasi, pembentukan struktur dasar, pemasangan besi wermes, hingga uji coba dan penyesuaian akhir. Kolam HDPE yang dibuat memiliki diameter 5 meter, dilengkapi sistem aerasi menggunakan blower, dan dirancang untuk tahan cuaca ekstrem serta keausan. Kegiatan diawali dengan persiapan dan knowledge transfer dari tim pengabdian, yang juga menyediakan sarana dan prasarana. Hasilnya, kelompok pembudidaya berhasil membuat kolam HDPE yang kokoh, tahan lama, dan praktis untuk budidaya ikan nila. Perawatan rutin tetap diperlukan untuk menjaga performa kolam agar dapat digunakan dalam jangka panjang. Solusi ini diharapkan mendukung keberlanjutan budidaya perikanan di wilayah tersebut.

El chile dulce (Capsicum annuum L.) es un chile criollo no picoso usado para condimentar muchos platillos regionales en la Península de Yucatán. Está poco caracterizado y no se cuenta con variedades mejoradas por lo que es importante generar variedades de polinización abierta con características agronómicas sobresalientes y poner la semilla a disposición de los productores locales. Dzonot se originó de la accesión YAXCH colectada en 2018 en Yaxchekú, Tizimín, Yucatán. Esta variedad se formó mediante el método de mejoramiento de selección masal. Los trabajos de homogeneidad y rendimiento se realizaron en invernadero con fechas de trasplante del 04 de octubre de 2019, 27 de julio de 2021 y 04 de enero de 2022. En el primer ensayo, establecido en la mejor época de cultivo, se obtuvo un rendimiento de 40.8 t ha-1 durante un periodo de cosecha de cinco meses. En el segundo ensayo, la cosecha se mantuvo por 4.5 meses y produjo 29.1 t ha-1. En el tercer ensayo, la producción fue 21.1 t ha-1 en tres meses de cosecha. El rendimiento de las parcelas establecidas antes y después de la mejor época de cultivo representó el 71% y 52% del mejor rendimiento. Dzonot tiene potencial de altos rendimientos para Yucatán, especialmente cuando se establece en octubre, produce frutos de forma homogénea y estable. Su principal característica es la forma plana del fruto, mayor ancho que largo y surcos interloculares profundos.
