Aborsi Janin hasil Perkosaan Dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Manaf Abdul , Priatna Ida
Published: May 2024

Salah satu diktum penting dalam ajaran Islam adalah manusia itu suci hidupnya dan mulia jasadnya, sehingga manusia tidak boleh melakukan sesuatu yang dapat menghilangkan jiwa kecuali yang dibenarkan syara’. Demikian juga dengan segi tinjauan Islam bahwasanya janin merupakan sebuah kehidupan yang sama dengan kehidupan seseorang yang telah lahir ke dunia. Berangkat dari statemen tersebut penelitian ini bermaksud menjelaskan hukum aborsi janin  akibat perkosaan dalam perspektif hukum Islam, serta bertujuan untuk mengetahui hukumnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode pengkajian melalui kepustakaan (Library Research) dengan meneliti beberapa pandangan ulama Islam mengenai status hukum aborsi janin akibat perkosaan. Masalah abortus ini adalah isu controversial dan pelik, sehingga demikian kompleksnya pembicaraan aborsi tidak hanya dalam lingkup kecil suatu Negara, tetapi menjadi pembicaraan level dunia internasional. Adapun sebab-sebab yang menjadikan ibu-ibu memilih aborsi pada dasarnya didorong oleh rasa penolakan terhadap kelahiran anak, karena desakan berbagai faktor, seperti faktor sosial, ekonomi, rasa malu, gengsi, dan sebagainya. Salah satu faktor seorang wanita memilih menggugurkan kandungan adalah janin yang dikandung merupakan korban tindak kekerasan (pemerkosaan), bila tidak digugurkan, wanita tersebut merasakan beban psikologis yang berat seperti malu, benci dan hina. Beranjak dari wacana tersebut, kajian ini mencoba mengkaji kembali permasalahan abortus ini dengan menganalisis pendapat-pendapat para fuqaha serta dalil-dalil yang digunakan mereka dan mencoba merumuskan sebuah kesimpulan tentang hukum abortus hasil perkosaan menurut padangan hukum Islam. Diungkap dari hasil penelitian bahwasanya para ulama membolehkan aborsi jenis ini sebelum umur janin diatas 120 h karena dharurat, keturunan, dan kehormatan. Dan alangkah sangat mulia bila janin tersebut dapat dipertahankan. Dan bila janin berumur 120 hari atau lebih ulama sepakat untuk tidak membolehkan aborsi dalam kondisi apapun, sementara janin hasil perkosaan pihak pemerkosa yang harus bertanggung jawab dengan diawasi negara dan memulihkan nama baik sang ibu dan keluarganya.

Comparative Assessment of Plant Species and Their Taxa Distribution between the Capital Cities of Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States, Nigeria
Authors: E. P. Ita-Nya
Published: May 2024

The study examined the comparative assessment of plant species and their taxa distribution between the Capital Cities of Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States, Nigeria. The study established quadrats of 30mx200m along road (transects) in GRAs of Uyo City, Akwa Ibom State and Yenagoa City, Bayelsa State labelled as sampled sites and a quadrat of 100mx100m were established as control sites (secondary forest) at a minimum of 300m from the sampled sites. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyse the data. Findings revealed that that a total of 32 plant individual species types were found in the sampled sites in Uyo while a total of 16 plant individual species types belonging to 13 families were found in Yenagoa. Also, the 32 individual plant species found under the sampled sites belong to 20 families with Arecaceae and Moraceae having the highest species individuals in Uyo Town while 26 individual plant species were identified belonging to 19 families with Apocynaceae and Guthiferae producing the highest numbers of species individuals in Yenagoa. The study can be concluded that there was variation in the plant taxa between Akwa Ibom State and Yenagoa State as the plant composition in the Uyo is more than that of Yenagoa Town suggesting the influence of the level of urbanization and other anthropogenic activities. The study recommended that urban greening activities should commence immediately in the areas where there is a shortage of plant composition.

Authors:   Department of Ophthalmology, Diyarbakır Training and Research Hospital, Diyarbakır, Turkey., Ciftci Suleyman
Published: May 2024

Purpose: To find out the effect of a single dose botulinum toxin injection. Methods: This study is an observational case series. Data of patients with infantile esotropia who received a single dose of botulinum toxin in 6th-9th month of their age were retrospectively reviewed during the period from February 2013 to January 2015. Botulinum toxin was injected in each of medial recti with a dose of 5 IU/0,05 mL without Electromyography (EMG) control. Five patients were included in the study. Complications reletad to injection and to the toxin were recorded. During their regular follow-ups, the parents were instructed to patch the dominant eye if there is fixation preference either in exotropia or esotropia phases. Patients were examined between their 72nd to 96th month to find out their current visual acuity and to observe if they had any late term accompanying squints, nystagmus and amblyopia. Snellen optotypes or pictures were used for detecting best-corrected visual acuity. Results: Orthophoria was the main outcome for 3 of the 5 patients. Dissociated deviations and latent nystagmus did not develop on any patient. On the last examination, patients’ visual acuities were assesed. Orthophoric ones: One patient had 1.0/1.0 visual acuity, one patient had 0.4/0.6 visual acuity, one patient had 0.2/0.2 visual acuity. Monocular esotropia ones: On the strabismic eye 0.1, on the dominant eye 1.0 visual acuity was detected. Inferior oblique muscle hyperfunction developed post injection on all the patients. Conclusions: Botulinum toxin injection caused infantile esotropia to change into a more manageble form.

Published: May 2024

A 53 year-old male with a history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder presented to the emergency department with worsening abdominal pain. He reported inserting an aerosol can in his anus and was unable to remove the object. The can had been present since midnight the night before. He was concerned that the cap of the can had come loose when he was trying to remove the can from his rectum. On physical exam, his abdomen was distended with a palpable ventral hernia and foreign body. He reported minimal abdominal tenderness with palpation. Abdominal imaging (Figures 1 and 2) demonstrated a large metallic foreign object in the shape of a can in the sigmoid colon with extensive foci of free intraperitoneal air suggestive of bowel perforation. He was immediately taken to the operating room for surgical removal of foreign body. He underwent diagnostic laparoscopy with removal of rectal foreign body, peritoneal lavage, and closure of rectosigmoid perforation. The adhesiolysis portion of the surgical procedure had to be completed using the EndoShears to perform sharp cold adhesiolysis given the aerosol and concern for an intraoperative fire with use of any type of energy or cautery device.
Partial ectopic posterior pituitary
Authors:   Pediatric Radiology Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital Center, Faculty of medicine and Pharmacy of Rabat, Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco., Khouchoua Selma
Published: May 2024

Ectopic posterior pituitary is one of the leading causes of pituitary dwarfism related to a growth hormone deficiency. It can be either isolated or associated to other abnormalities, the most widely known being the pituitary stalk interruption syndrome [1]. Although it is a rare entity, partial ectopy consists of the coexistence of both an orthotopic and an ectopic posterior pituitary gland [2,3] (Figure 1A). It appears as a T1 hyperintensity or bright spot at the posterior sellae, consistent with the normally expected neurohypophysis [4]. A second midline bright spot located in the infundibulum (Figure 1B), or above the optic chiasm or at the floor of the third ventricle is considered the ectopic posterior pituitary gland. It features high T1 signal intensity with and without fat suppression, making it easy to distinguish from a lipoma or a supra sellar dermoid with lipid content. Contrast enhancement is similar to the normal pituitary parenchyma (Figure 1C).

Published: May 2024

Esophageal Atresia (EA) is an uncommon but serious surgical emergency that typically presents at birth. It can be managed initially with gastrostomy tube placement and a delayed repair, unlike EA with TEF which is typically corrected in the newborn phase. When EA is diagnosed, VACTERL comorbidities must be investigated to assess perioperative risk. This case presents a patient with EA who was found to have an anomalous bronchus intermedius at the carina that was diagnosed using a guidewire and fluoroscopy.

Published: May 2024

A 13-year-old female presented to our clinic with a pruritic, progressive, 5 centimeters long cutaneous linear erythema on the left foot. The patient informed us that the lesion appeared progressively 2 weeks before. She spent hours in contact with seawater and sand without protection due to beach holidays. At first, the patient detected irritated redness on the dorsum of her left foot. She noticed that the lesion progressed forming a tortuous red cutaneous line. No personal pathological history was reported. Physical examination revealed an erythematous linear serpiginous skin lesion on the dorsum of the left foot (Figure 1). The clinical diagnosis was cutaneous larva migrans caused by Ancylostoma braziliense. The patient was treated with cycles of 30 second with liquid nitrogen applied directly on the lesion, remitting completely.

Published: May 2024

A 81-year-old female presented with two weeks of fatigue, dysuria, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Vital signs and physical exam were normal except for abdominal tenderness and dry oral mucosa. Complete Blood Count (CBC) was normal; blood glucose was elevated. She received an insulin drip, normal saline, and potassium. She was switched to oral hypoglycemic agent-Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors: Gemigliptin. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) came out to be higher than expected as compared to last year of low prediabetic value, decreased C-peptide levels. Her first abnormal HbA1c was 5.9% a year ago. She was recieved intramuscular injection with graphene a year ago. Type I Diabetes Mellitus (DM) passes from autoimmunity positive normoglycemia to dysglycemia to the symptomatic stage. Mechanisms could be cytokine-mediated beta-cell damage or autoimmunity as a part of autoimmune syndrome induced by lipid nanoparticles including graphene. This case reports blood glucose by graphene-exfoliator NaCl with KCl solution on the rapid progression of prediabetes to Type 1 DM.

Authors:   rofessor in Pediatric Rheumatology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran., Shiari Reza
Published: May 2024

Background: The Antisynthetase Syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune disease considered as a subset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. This syndrome is associated with antisynthetase antibodies and clinical manifestations such as Raynaud’s phenomenon, mechanic’s hands and interstitial lung disease. Case presentation: Here in we reported a 16 years old Afghani girl who was diagnosed as having ASS. Rare diseases such as ASS should be suspected in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy patients who are resistant to standard medical regimens. Conclusion: In such cases, the use of Rituximab is strongly recommended. To the best of our knowledge is the first report of juvenile ASS in Middle East.

Authors:   Aix Marseille Univ, APHM, Department of Digestive Surgery, Timone University Hospital, 264 rue Saint-Pierre, 13005, Marseille, France., Mege Diane
Published: May 2024

In a 82-year-old man with cardiovascular comorbidities underwent an abdominal CT scan, showing an incidental 9 centimeters cystic mesenteric lesion. An additional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) described a not-enhanced cystic lesion, with septa, developed in the mesenteric root with a mass effect without any sign of bowel invasion (Figure 1). This lesion was not observed in a previous abdominal CT scan. A cystic peritoneal mesothelium was suspected. A surgical treatment was thus indicated. Because of the location at the mesenteric root, an open approach was performed, revealing a cystic mesenteric multi-loculated lesion, with white liquid contain (Figure 2). A bowel resection of proximal jejunum (45 centimeters) was performed with an handsewn end-to-end anastomosis. Pathological analysis identified a cystic mesenteric lymphangioma without any criteria of malignity.

Authors:   Senior Registrar, Internal Medicine, National Hospital of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka., Kumari Perera Malagalage Nishadi Saumya
Published: May 2024

Left-sided infective endocarditis is a recognized but less common cause of cerebral embolism. When the causative organism is Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the rate of embolic phenomena increases. In such cases, surgical interventions should be considered when indicated. We present a case of a 20-year-old girl who presented with acute onset aphasia, and found to be having multifocal acute cerebral infarctions in brain imaging, which do not fall into a single vascular territory. Her echocardiogram confirmed mitral valve endocarditis while blood cultures were positive for Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus. She responded poorly to antibiotics and ultimately ended up with metallic prosthetic mitral valve replacement.
Kurt Schwitters´ medical biography: Health problems and impact on creativity
Authors:   Medical School Hannover, Germany., Zeidler Henning
Published: May 2024

Kurt Schwitters (born June 20, 1887 in Hannover, † January 8, 1948 in Kendal, Cumbria, England) was a multitalented German artist. Schwitters´ life was marked by various health problems that never have been discussed in all their biographical and medical aspects according to contemporary medical knowledge. The fourteen-year-old Schwitters had his first seizure after a traumatic experience. When he was about 18 or 19, the seizures reached a climax, and he had several fits per day. Then they suddenly eased and became more and more infrequent, until, in the last 10 years of his life, he only had some five fits altogether. Today this seizure disorder could be classified as psychogenic non- epileptic seizures rather than true epilepsy as concluded in academic studies so far. This major impairment of his health in his adolescence evidently motivated Schwitters to become an artist.
Early oral functional therapy in Down syndrome: Need for evidence
Authors:   Department of Odontology, AP-HP, Charles Foix Hospital, F-94200 Paris, France., Germa Alice
Published: May 2024

Early oral functional therapy in toddlers with Down Syndrome was first described by Castillo Morales in the 1970s. Management of facial manifestations remains essential to gain social integration of these children. Oral functional therapy by palatal plates is a complement to the early multidisciplinary management by speech therapists and physiotherapists. Different recent reviews suggested that palatal plates seem to be efficient on oral motor function, but due to low quality of the evidence, they have highlighted the real need for evidence of this therapy. The aim of this short commentary is to address key points of methods and suggest leads for further in-depths studies.
The Use of the Malecot Catheter and Modified Stent Insertion in Transverse Vaginal Septum
Authors:   Sarawak General Hospital, Malaysia., Lee Pohching
Published: May 2024

A transverse vaginal septum is a Mullerian duct anomaly that occurs when there is a congenital failure of the lower vaginal central cells to generate. Severe cyclical abdominal pain can occur shortly after menarche. The retrograde menstrual flow can cause peritoneal inflammation, adhesion, and even infertility. This case series aims to describe the use of a modified corrugated stent and malecot catheter which has shown favourable results in maintaining vaginal patency. The post-operative care is always a challenge. Re-stenosis was extremely common and poorly reported despite the greatest surgical procedures in transverse vaginal septum, especially in high septum or thick septum. The malekot catheter insertion not only serves as a guide for future septum excision, but it can also self-prepare the young child to conduct the dilation with continued counseling while the menses are still present. Despite the usual return of menstruation based on the malekot catheter, the emphasis on regular dilation remains crucial. According to specific institutional experiences in China, the catheter can be implanted for up to three years without showing signs of infection.

Nghiên cứu này nhằm mục đích khám phá các nhân tố ảnh hưởng đến việc quản lý tiền mặt tại các ngân hàng thương mại Việt Nam, sử dụng dữ liệu thứ cấp từ 29 ngân hàng tại Việt Nam trong giai đoạn 2010 - 2021. Tác giả sử dụng phương pháp định lượng – hồi quy đa biến với nhiều mô hình và chọn ra mô hình hiệu quả nhất (cụ thể là GMM). Dựa trên kết quả mô hình GMM, tác giả nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của các yếu tố như Tỷ lệ cho vay trên tiền gửi (LDR), Khả năng cho vay (LA), Tỷ lệ tiền gửi của khách hàng (DEP) và mối tương quan nghịch chiều với tỷ lệ nắm giữ tiền mặt, hàm ý các quyết định thận trọng về cho vay hoặc khi có lượng tiền gửi lớn thì xem xét kỹ về lượng tiền mặt nắm giữ. Mối tương quan giữa tỷ suất sinh lời trên tài sản (ROA) và việc nắm giữ tiền mặt cho thấy các ngân hàng ưu tiên nắm giữ tiến mặt khi có nhiều lãi hơn. Hơn nữa, kết quả chỉ ra các ngân hàng lớn có xu hướng nắm giữ nhiều tiền mặt hơn, có thể quản lý hiệu quả các hoạt động tài chính quy mô lớn. Nghiên cứu cũng xem xét lạm phát (INF) và các giai đoạn phát triển kinh tế. Các ngân hàng tăng nắm giữ tiền mặt trong thời kỳ lạm phát để đáp ứng nhu cầu giao dịch và quản lý rủi ro.

This study examines perspectives on the dimensions of community capacity, comparing analyses from top-down (municipal staff) and bottom-up (community development association executives) viewpoints. The study focuses on eight elements of "community capacity," including project proposal writing, financial verification, community cohesion, community industrial development, clerical administration, human resource management, resource linkage, and local organizational coordination, within a certain county in northern Taiwan. A total of 516 questionnaires were collected (258 from municipal staff and 258 from community development association executives). Results indicate significant differences between the two groups in abilities related to project proposal writing, financial verification, community cohesion, community industrial development, and resource linkage. Structural equation modeling reveals significant differences in the composition of community capacity dimensions between top-down (municipal staff) and bottom-up (community development association executives) perspectives. The study concludes with implications and recommendations.

Reward Sensitivity and Noise Contribute to Negative Affective Bias: A Learning Signal Detection Theory Approach in Decision-Making
Authors: Lütkenherm Isabel K. , Locke Shannon M. , Robinson Oliver J.
Published: May 2024

In patients with mood disorders, negative affective biases – systematically prioritising and interpreting information negatively – are common. A translational cognitive task testing this bias has shown that depressed patients have a reduced preference for a high reward under ambiguous decision-making conditions. The precise mechanisms underscoring this bias are, however, not yet understood. We therefore developed a set of measures to probe the underlying source of the behavioural bias by testing its relationship to a participant’s reward sensitivity, value sensitivity and reward learning rate. One-hundred-forty-eight participants completed three online behavioural tasks: the original ambiguous-cue decision-making task probing negative affective bias, a probabilistic reward learning task probing reward sensitivity and reward learning rate, and a gambling task probing value sensitivity. We modelled the learning task through a dynamic signal detection theory model and the gambling task through an expectation-maximisation prospect theory model. Reward sensitivity from the probabilistic reward task (β = 0.131, p = 0.024) and setting noise from the probabilistic reward task (β = –0.187, p = 0.028) both predicted the affective bias score in a logistic regression. Increased negative affective bias, at least on this specific task, may therefore be driven in part by a combination of reduced sensitivity to rewards and more variable responses.

Objetivo: Destacar os impactos negativos das sequelas cognitivas na vida de indivíduos que sofreram traumatismo cranioencefálico, enfatizando as relações sociais: familiares, matrimoniais e profissionais. Métodos: Uma revisão integrativa de estudos publicados entre os anos de 2018 e 2023, de acordo com critérios de inclusão e exclusão, na base de dados PubMed. Resultado: Os estudos relatam sequelas nas funções cognitivas, sociais e emocionais após o TCE, resultando na piora da qualidade de vida, associada a um maior sofrimento psicológico e menor satisfação. Os impactos negativos relatados são, essencialmente, desenvolvimento de depressão, insatisfação, incapacidade de retomar as atividades laborais e mudanças de estado civil. No entanto, outros artigos não encontram conexão entre TCE e declínio da função cognitiva, sem, portanto, impactos relacionados a isto. Conclusão: As sequelas cognitivas ocorrem em muitos casos de TCE e impactam negativamente na vida das vítimas do trauma. Esses indivíduos apresentam, na maioria das vezes, sintomas depressivos e menor satisfação com a vida, além de estarem suscetíveis a outras mudanças sociais, relacionadas, principalmente, à ocupação profissional e matrimônio.

Suvarna bhasma (SB) contains gold and lead, which are highly potent metals and are toxic in their crude form. This study evaluated the safety profile of the medication. Suvarna bhasma was administered for 90 consecutive days orally at three doses (10.23 mg kg-1, 40.92 mg kg-1 and 102.3 mg kg-1 body weight) to wistar rats. Clinical observations, feed and water consumption, and body weight changes were noted during the study period. On the 91st day, hematological, biochemical and histopathological changes were studied. There was a significant decrease in body weight of rats at a low dose (10.23 mg kg-1) at fourth week, which could not be correlated with feed and water consumption findings. Thus, change was not considered as a treatment-related effect. Suvarna bhasma showed no evident untoward effect in haematological, biochemical and histopathological parameters in the 90 day-subchronic toxicity study (OECD 408 guidelines) and was safe in Wistar rats.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antiobesity potential of various plant (leaves or seed) extracts through a modified in vitro lipase inhibitory activity assay. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, negative control or solvent) extracts as cold infusion of leaves and seeds of some plants were studied for lipase inhibitory potential using porcine pancreatic lipase enzyme, p- nitro phenyl acetate and orlistat (as positive control or standard inhibitor). Among the leaves, the Urtica dioica showed the best pancreatic lipase inhibition activity (52.0 %). On the other hand, among the seeds, Trachyspermum ammi showed the highest per cent lipase inhibition (91.68 %). Among six leaves’ and seven seeds’ extract, it was evident that the seeds showed better pancreatic lipase inhibition activity over the leaves in the study. The lipase inhibition was found to be in the range of 34.43 to 91.68 % for the plants in study. DMSO extract of the plants under the study showed significant pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity indicating strong antiobesity activity. Therefore, the plants can be further investigated for the identification and isolation of chief bioactive constituents for developing the lead molecules for obesity treatment.
Il gallo dalla commedia al discorso filosofi o e aneddotico: limiti e potenzialità di una fi ura comica

Published: May 2024

Il gallo era una figura familiare alla vita di un Ateniese o di un Greco in genere: considerato un animale assai bellicoso e per questo oggetto di combattimenti popolari, una delle sue funzioni principali era quella di segnalare l’alba. Il gallo è presente in molte commedie di Aristofane, che declinano in modo comico tali potenzialità: l’erudizione antica, del resto, chiarisce le varie pratiche che fanno da sfondo a tale presenza, fra l’altro ricordando il mito eziologico del gallo che, messo a guardia degli amori di Ares e Afrodite, si addormentò, facendo sì che essi venissero scoperti. È proprio in ricordo di questo episodio che egli canterebbe al mattino. La produzione comica, che si fonda comunque su una tradizione già ben consolidata, ha avuto un influsso spesso importante per la letteratura successiva, soprattutto nell’aneddotica: questo avviene, chiaramente, qualora si evochi la combattività delgalloelasuafunzionedisvegliamattutina.SePlatonerecuperatalefi ura,adattandoladi volta in volta ai temi da lui trattati nei diversi dialoghi, di un certo rilievo è il ruolo di questo animale ne il Gallo o il Sogno di Luciano, probabile debitore dei vv. 483 s. degli Uccelli, dove si aff rma la primigenia superiorità dei volatili. Sulla scena odierna, le potenzialità del gallo sono ancora sfruttate, soprattutto a livello posturale, al fine di connotare efficacemente un personaggio – ad esempio – aggressivo. Altre potenzialità comiche, tuttavia, rischiano di essere irrimediabilmente perse in mancanza del testo originale, come il gioco su ἀλεκτρύαινα dei vv. 661-667 delle Nuvole: il neologismo aristofaneo, che può essere reso con «polla» (il termine greco ἀλεκτρυών, infatti, non distingueva fra maschile e femminile), costringe i traduttori e i registi a sforzi notevoli di traduzione transculturale per rendere godibile questa scena.
La Santa Sede e il ripudio della dottrina della scoperta tra riduzionismo e negazione di responsabilità
Authors: Fiamingo Cristiana
Published: May 2024

Anche se la recente ricusazione della dottrina della scoperta da parte del Vaticano è davvero benvenuta, il silenzio in merito a qualsiasi responsabilità politica per quelle bolle papali, vecchie di 500 anni, che autorizzavano le potenze coloniali a impadronirsi delle terre indigene, significa che la battaglia è vinta solo a metà. Ancor più negativamente, il fatto che il Vaticano abbia evitato ogni riferimento al collegamento tra i crimini di massa avallati contro i non cristiani e le loro conseguenze, indica che il bersaglio è stato mancato. Le bolle, infatti, sono state emanate dai «rappresentanti di Dio sulla Terra» e una tale negazione implicita è una debolezza strutturale che difficilmente potrebbe completare quella «architettura della riconciliazione» a cui si dice Papa Francesco miri. Questo saggio si propone di rievocare le testimonianze storiche della responsabilità diretta e indiretta del Papato, discutendo le circostanze che sono all'origine dell’organizzazione gerarchica di questo mondo, che ha avuto un impatto non solo sul continente americano ma anche su quello africano, con conseguenze permanenti su generazioni dei suoi popoli e dei loro discendenti nella diaspora.

Published: May 2024

Breastfeeding is widely recognised to have numerous health benefits for the infant and child health later, such as lowering the risk of gastrointestinal tract infections, respiratory tract infections, allergies, asthma, obesity, type I and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and sudden infant mortality syndrome. It also protects mothers against conditions like obesity, type 2 DM, and breast and ovarian cancers. Objective: To assess the association between mode of delivery and breastfeeding practices. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the obstetrics department of Lady Reading Hospital after approval from the hospital’s ethical committee. The study duration was three months, from 1st November 2023 to 31st January 2024. Postnatal mothers were interviewed, and information was collected on a specifically designed proforma 24 hours after the birth of the baby and then on the day of discharge from the hospital. Using openepi software, keeping anticipated frequency 18%, confidence level 95%, power of study 80%, sample size calculated is 227. Data was entered into SPSS version 20. Results: In the current study, 227 patients were enrolled. Based on age-wise distribution, 125 (55.07%) patients were 16-25 years old, 67 (29.52%) were 26-35 years old, and 35 (15.42%) patients were more than 35 years of age. Amongst 227 women, 109 (48.02%) delivered vaginally while caesarean section was done in 118 (51.98%) patients. Based on the initiation of breastfeeding, amongst 109 women who delivered vaginally, breastfeeding within one hour was initiated in 79 (72.48%) patients. In comparison, amongst 118 women with caesarean section within one hour, breastfeeding initiation was observed in 74 (62.71%) patients. The association between breastfeeding initiation and mode of delivery was statistically significant (p=0.001). Conclusion: Our study concludes that the chance of delayed breastfeeding initiation was higher in women who had caesarean delivery. Hence, Counseling regarding the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding should be a mandatory part of prenatal care provided to women by hospitals. Adequate professional support must be available in the postnatal wards, especially for women who delivered by cesarean section, and should be tailored according to the individual needs.

With the widespread usage of social media in our day-to-day lives, it becomes a platform for persons to express and share their feelings, views, thoughts, and opinions. Recognizing emotions has numerous applications extending from dynamic advertisement to behavior analyses. People express their emotional state in a language that is often complemented by figures of speech and ambiguity, making it problematic even for human beings to understand. Categorizing tweets is a dynamic application of NLP, allowing the scrutiny of topical discussions, user opinions, and trends in real-time. Leveraging techniques such as word embeddings, machine learning, and text preprocessing approaches, tweet classification enables tasks like spam detection, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling. This ability assists companies in understanding client feedback and allows policymakers and researchers to track emerging issues and gauge public opinion on social networking media. This study presents a Two-Person Intuitionistic Neutrosophic Soft Games with Harris Hawks Optimizer (TINSG-HHO) based Tweets Classification on NLP Applications. The purpose of the TINSG-HHO technique is to detect the existence of different kinds of emotions or sentiments in the tweets. The TINSG-HHO technique begins with preprocessing of tweets to convert them into useful format. Then, FastText embedding represents words as contextual similarities, dense vectors, and capturing semantic nuances. Leveraging the embedding, the Neutrosophic classification model proficiently handles vagueness and uncertainty intrinsic in deceptive content detection tasks. Moreover, the HHO technique enhances the parameter of the Neutrosophic classifier, improving its generalization capabilities and performance. Based on the hunting strategy of Harris's hawks, HHO discovers the parameter range to search for optimum configurations for the classifier. Experimental evaluations carried out on different datasets illustrate the effectiveness of the DCRM in precisely detecting the deceptive content

Cybersecurity has become a primary concern as the financial sectors generally handle increasing cyber-attacks and an increasing danger of financial crime. Recently, ransomware attacks have intensified, affecting enterprises, and crucial infrastructure worldwide. Ransomware employs sophisticated encryption techniques to encrypt data on the targeted device, then requests payment for decrypting the data. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches involving ML were progressively employed in the domain of cybersecurity and significantly subsidized to preventing and detecting variety of threats. On the other hand, the several researchers that employed ML to identify ransomware are still constrained by the accuracy of models, the complication of malware, the high false-positive rate, and the lack of setting up the appropriate analysis environment. Therefore, there is a need to design efficient ransomware detection based on ML algorithms. This work introduces a modified Single Value Neutrosophic Fuzzy Soft Expert Set (M-SVNFSES) technique for cyberattack detection. The main purpose of the M-SVNFSES system is to detect and recognize the existence of cyberattacks in the financial sectors. In the M-SVNFSES technique, min-max normalization is used as an initial pre-processing stage. For the identification of cyberattacks in the financial sectors, the M-SVNFSES technique uses the SVNFSES model. To enhance its performance, the M-SVNFSES technique makes use of a bat optimization algorithm (BOA). The performance of the M-SVNFSES methodology was extensively studied using financial datasets. The experimental outcomes depicted that the M-SVNFSES method reaches optimal detection performance in attack detection process
