Background

Mistreatment of women during childbirth is a global health challenge. Maternity healthcare providers play a key role in influencing women’s birth experience. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers regarding mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth in public hospitals in Tehran, Iran.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was part of an implementation research project that was conducted from October to December 2021 at five public teaching hospitals in Tehran. All eligible maternity healthcare providers (obstetricians and midwives) and students were invited to participate in this study. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of four sections: socio-demographic characteristics (11 items), knowledge (11 items), attitudes (13 items), and practices (14 items) about mistreatment. Knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were determined using Bloom’s cut-off points. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the socio-demographic characteristics associated with knowledge and attitudes. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Of the 270 participants, 255 (94.5%) participated in the study. Majority of the participants (82.7%) had poor knowledge regarding mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth. Poor knowledge was more apparent in the categories of physical abuse, verbal abuse, poor rapport between women and providers, and failure to meet professional standards of care. Most participants (69.4%) had poor attitudes towards mistreatment; they were alright with physical abuse, verbal abuse, and discrimination. Only 3.1% of the participants reported moderate mistreatment practices towards birthing women. Verbal and physical abuse were the most prevalent categories used by the participants. The number of night shifts was associated with attitudes regarding mistreatment (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.22–0.89, p = 0.02).

Conclusion

The knowledge and attitude of our participants regarding maternity mistreatment were poor. A small percentage of the participants reported mistreatment practices. The findings of our study have important implications for program planners and decision-makers in developing effective interventions to reduce mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth in Iran.

Epistemic trust refers to the trust in communicated knowledge, specifically an individual’s ability to regard knowledge conveyed by others as meaningful, relevant to oneself, and applicable to other contexts. This area has received considerable attention in recent psychological literature, though predominantly from a theoretical perspective. The main objective of this study was to test the factorial validity of the Epistemic Trust, Mistrust, and Credulity Questionnaire (ETMCQ) on an Argentine setting. Based on two studies (Study 1, n = 1018; Study 2, n = 559), the factorial structure of the instrument and its internal consistency were examined (S1 Appendix). In the second study, the factorial structure was confirmed, test-retest reliability was analysed, and associations between epistemic stances and sociodemographic variables, hypomentalisation, attachment styles, childhood traumatic experiences, and anxious-depressive symptomatology were explored. A satisfactory three-factor solution with 15 items and residual correlations was found in both studies, with stable scores over time. Significant positive correlations were found with anxious and fearful-avoidant attachment, hypomentalisation, childhood traumatic experiences, and psychopathological symptomatology. Post-hoc analysis revealed that, on the one hand, gender acts as a moderator in the relationship between hypomentalisation and epistemic mistrust. On the other hand, economic level and educational level moderate the relationship between hypomentalisation and epistemic credulity. Measurement invariance across gender was tested and found satisfactory, with significant differences subsequently observed in the epistemic trust factor. In conclusion, the Argentine version of the ETMCQ provides an empirical measure for use in non-clinical samples. Its application could facilitate clinically and theoretically relevant findings.
qsmR encoding an IclR-family transcriptional factor is a core pathogenic determinant of Burkholderia glumae beyond the acyl-homoserine lactone-mediated quorum-sensing system

Published: October 2024

The plant pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia glumae causes bacterial panicle blight (BPB) in rice-growing areas worldwide. It has been widely accepted that an acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-type quorum sensing (QS) system encoded by tofI and tofR genes (TofIR QS) is a key regulatory mechanism underlying the bacterial pathogenesis of B. glumae. In addition, qsmR, which encodes an IclR-family regulatory protein, has been considered an important part of TofIR QS. However, the present study with three strains of B. glumae representing different pathogenic strains revealed that this currently accepted paradigm should be modified. We characterized the regulatory function of TofIR QS and qsmR in three different strains of B. glumae, 336gr-1 (virulent), 411gr-6 (hypervirulent) and 257sh-1 (avirulent). In 336gr-1, both TofIR QS and qsmR were critical for the pathogenesis, being consistent with previous studies. However, in the hypervirulent strain 411gr-6, TofIR QS only partially contributes to the virulence, whereas qsmR was critical for pathogenesis like in 336gr-1. Furthermore, we found that a single nucleotide polymorphism causing T50K substitution in the qsmR coding sequence was the cause of the non-pathogenic trait of the naturally avirulent strain 257sh-1. Subsequent analyses of gene expression and transcriptome revealed that TofIR QS is partially controlled by qsmR at the transcriptional level in both virulent strains. Further genetic tests of additional B. glumae strains showed that 11 out of 20 virulent strains retained the ability to produce toxoflavin even after removing the tofI/tofM/tofR QS gene cluster like 411gr-6. In contrast, all the virulent strains tested lost the ability to produce toxoflavin almost completely upon deletion of the qsmR gene. Taking these results together, qsmR, rather than TofIR QS, is a master regulator that determines the pathogenic trait of B. glumae thus a more appropriate pathogen target for successful management of BPB.

An effective human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) vaccine will most likely have to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) to overcome the sequence diversity of the envelope glycoprotein (Env). So far, stabilized versions of Env, such as SOSIP trimers, have been able to induce neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses, but those responses are mainly strain-specific. Here we attempted to broaden NAb responses by using a multivalent vaccine and applying a number of design improvements. First, we used highly stabilized SOSIP.v9 trimers. Second, we removed any holes in the glycan shields and optimized glycan occupancy to avoid strain-specific glycan hole responses. Third, we selected five sequences from the same clade (B), as we observed previously that combining Env trimers from clade A, B and C did not improve cross-reactive responses, as they might have been too diverse. Fourth, to improve antibody (Ab) responses, the Env trimers were displayed on two-component I53-50 nanoparticles (NPs). Fifth, to favor activation of cross-reactive B cells, the five Env trimers were co-displayed on mosaic NPs. Sixth, we immunized rabbits four times with long intervals between vaccinations. These efforts led to the induction of cross-reactive B cells and cross-reactive binding Ab responses, but we only sporadically detected cross-neutralizing responses. We conclude that stabilized HIV-1 Env trimers that are not modified specifically for priming naive B cells are unable to elicit strong bNAb responses, and infer that sequential immunization regimens, most likely starting with specific germline-targeting immunogens, will be necessary to overcome Env’s defenses against the induction of NAbs. The antigens described here could be excellent boosting immunogens in a sequential immunization regimen, as responses to bNAb epitopes were induced.
A case and research agenda for the study of scent and perfumery in the Gulf
Authors: Gray Matthew
Published: October 2024

Scholars have recently begun to turn their attention to the study of sensory perceptions, however to date their focus has overwhelmingly been on sight and sound: this is perhaps understandable, given the cultural importance of art, film and music. Crucially they are the sensations that can most easily and accurately be captured and arguably are more easily framed and described in most languages than are the sensations from smell, taste and touch. Yet smell is a crucial sense, and within this scent and fragrance are a core and universal feature of human cultures and activities. For as long as records have existed, there is plentiful evidence of scent being used in personal hygiene, mate attraction, religious ceremonies, life events, as a food additive and in a range of other social practices. The Middle East, and the Gulf more specifically, figures prominently in this history, extending to the present day, where scents and perfumes play prominent cultural and social roles and where there is a strong perfume industry with its own traditions and a growing global reach. This article is an initial scoping study and literature review of scent and perfume in the Gulf, seeking to begin a redress of the traditional neglect of the topic. It offers a case for much greater scholarly attention on the topic, given how scent and perfume connect to so many disciplines and fields within Gulf studies: history, sociology, anthropology, political science and other disciplines all stand to gain from more attention on the role and uses of fragrances in the Gulf, as do more specific interdisciplinary studies in areas such as identity, cosmopolitanism, sexuality, social class and others. While the article is necessarily cursory given the breadth of its scope, the intention is to identify an area of research currently underexamined, spark greater scholarly discussion and ultimately to trigger future research on an important aspect of the contemporary Gulf.
Gulf studies in India: Reimagining the region
Authors: Ilias M. H. , Ramakrishnan A. K.
Published: October 2024

This work makes a detailed enquiry into the origin, growth and spread of Gulf studies as an academic discipline in India, which in its customary frame is profoundly grounded in the European and the Northern American experiences of dealing with the region. The question, how did/does the study of the Gulf region in India differ in terms of its focus and motivation has been addressed through a detailed survey of institutions, scholars and literature that broadly represent the Gulf studies in the country. The enquiry begins with pioneering institutions and their decolonial motivations and aspirations in establishing a tradition of area studies completely or partly independent of similar institutions in the West. Gulf studies in India now travels along a new direction in the context of a growing synergy between India and the Gulf states as both the regions share considerable symmetry in the perception of regional and global economic and political issues. The contemporary initiatives suggest an alternative way of understanding the region, its economy, geography, politics, people and cultures. The work makes an overview of the Gulf studies in India covering major institutions which promote Gulf studies, individual scholars engaged in the study of the region and seminal interventions by the people from the academic institutions, think tanks and the press.

Pensar a Palestina após Gaza
Authors: Clemesha Arlene
Published: October 2024

A ofensiva israelense sobre a Faixa de Gaza e a situação de genocídio instalada nessa pequena faixa costeira tem sido interpretada de diferentes formas. Enquanto Israel e seus aliados procuram justificar a ofensiva com argumentos de “legítima defesa” e situam o início de tudo nos ataques do Hamas de 7 de outubro, outros apontam para o fato de que, bem antes do 7 de outubro, já havia muitos indícios do desejo de Israel de alterar a configuração demográfica da Palestina histórica. Nesse sentido, buscamos situar o lugar do genocídio na história da Palestina e (re)pensar a história palestina a partir da consumação do atual genocídio. Finalmente, propomos uma reflexão sobre o que Gaza pode nos dizer do futuro da Palestina e das possibilidades de convivência árabe‑ judaica na região.

Published: October 2024

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated spondyloarthritis (SpA) is common but remains poorly understood. In this review article, we aimed to provide guidance regarding the diagnosis and management of this condition. For diagnosis of IBD-associated peripheral SpA (IBD-pSpA), we recommend collaboration with rheumatology for incorporation of clinical symptoms, physical examination findings, joint imaging if applicable, and available diagnostic criteria. For the management of IBD-pSpA, we first recommend assessment and treatment of underlying luminal IBD disease activity. We provide guidance regarding positioning of advanced therapies for IBD in patients with IBD-pSpA based on the limited available literature. For diagnosis of IBD-associated axial SpA, we recommend rheumatology referral to make the diagnosis based on incorporation of symptoms, laboratory data, imaging findings (sacroiliitis), and available diagnostic criteria. For the management of axial SpA, we recommend comanagement with rheumatology and use of either antitumor necrosis factor agents or Janus kinase inhibitors, when applicable.

Published: October 2024

Diabetes mellitus (D.M.) is a chronic metabolic disorder that has increased worldwide. Fingerprints and lip prints are noninvasive procedures that are genetically used in criminal cases and to determine genetic disorders such as Diabetes mellitus type 2. Dermatoglyphics is the epidermal ridge configuration, the ridged skin on our fingertips, palms, and toes. There are three types (Whorl, et al.). Cheiloscopy, derived from the Greek word (cheilos), which means lip, is the study of crinkles and grooves that are perceptible on our lips and unique. We conducted our research with 90 females, 45 were with (DMT2), and 45 were normal females over 30 years old. The samples were collected in different Kurdistan regions (Erbil City, Qaladza Town, Koya Town, and Koya University). We collected all 10 (ten) fingerprint patterns and divided them into Whorl, loop, and arch using an ink pad. Also, lip samples were collected by using lipstick on A4 paper. According to our research, the predominant fingerprints and lip prints in females with type 2 diabetes were loops for both hands (right (31.1%) and left (28.4%)), and for lips, the print was intersected grooves (28.9%). The predominant fingerprint and lip print for normal females were also loops in both hands (right (28%) and left (25%)), and the lip print was complete vertical grooves (42.2%). The study showed no association between fingerprint pattern and diabetes mellitus type 2 and cannot be used as a biomarker for it. However, there is a clear association between lip print pattern and diabetes mellitus type 2, and it can be used as a specific biomarker.

In recent years, almost all ASEAN members have experienced an increase inthe value of the economic complexity index. This change can be seen in the improved ranking of ASEAN members in the economic complexity index. Growth can be driven by the process of diversification in knowledge to produce goods that are more sophisticated and more complex. The key to growth in economic complexity is relocated activities from less complex sectors to more complex sectors. More complex sectors require more knowledge to produce goods. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the internet, prosperity, entrepreneur, market share and total export on economic complexity in 2009-2018 in ASEAN member countries.This study uses secondary data with a panel data of 90 observations. The analytical tool used in this research model is Generalized Least Square. The results in this Study indicate that the internet, entrepreneur, and total export have positive and significant effect on economic complexity. Prosperity and Market share have negative and significant effect on economic complexity.

In this thesis, the emission’s controlling factors are seen from the energy supply, electricity consumption, GDP, and population in ASEAN. The using method is decoupling analysis which aims to identify the state of each country during the period, Long-term empirical estimation using the fixed effect model (FEM) and short-term estimation with error correction model (ECM). The results show that energy supply has a positive effect on carbon emissions both in the long and short term. Increasing energy supply will have an impact on increasing carbon emissions. Electricity consumption also has a positive effect on carbon emissions in the short term. Decoupling analysis of electricity consumption and national income reveals six decoupling status. Most ASEAN countries have experienced expansive negative decoupling or increase in electricity consumption higher than the increase in national income. Those explanation describe the increasing of national income is still depend on electricity consumption, on the other hand the source of electrical energy mostly comes from fossils in which potentially cause an increasing on carbon emissions.

In the present scenario, obesity is a challenging health problem and its prevalence along with comorbidities are on the rise around the world. Ingestion of fish becomes trendy in daily meals. Recent research has shown that marine fish oil (FO) (found in tuna, sardines, and mackerel) may offer an alternative method for reducing obesity and problems associated with it. Marine FO rich in long‐chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐3 PUFA) and long‐chain omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐6 PUFA) plays an important role in reducing abnormalities associated with the metabolic syndrome and has a variety of disease‐fighting properties, including cardioprotective activity, anti‐atherosclerotic, anti‐obesity, anti‐cancer, anti‐inflammatory activity. Studies in rodents and humans have indicated that LC n‐3 PUFA potentially elicit a number of effects which might be useful for reducing obesity, including suppression of appetite, improvements in circulation, enhanced fat oxidation, energy expenditure, and reduced fat deposition. This review discusses the interplay between inflammation and obesity, and their subsequent regulation via the beneficial role of marine FO, suggesting an alternative dietary strategy to ameliorate obesity and obesity‐associated chronic diseases.
Propaganda Model in Slovak Media Space: A Case Study
Authors: Karas Martin , Profant Tomáš Imrich
Published: October 2024

This article reports results of an empirical study of Slovak media coverage of international affairs. The goal of the article is to determine whether the outputs of selected Slovak media correspond to the expectations of the Propaganda Model. In order to accomplish this goal, a content analysis of coverage of two cases of international conflict was performed and two hypotheses were evaluated. The hypotheses amount to an expectation that there will be a quantitative and qualitative difference in the way that selected Slovak media cover civilian casualties and potential breaches of international law based on the relationship of Slovak elites to the perpetrator. The analysis concludes that the degree of quantitative and qualitative inconsistency in the coverage of the selected issues could not be attributed to factors external to Slovak media and therefore have to be attributed to structural factors of Slovak media space, which need to be further examined.
