Objectives: The objective of the current study was to compare the effect of aromatherapy with lavender and damask rose on depression in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
Methodology: In this randomized clinical trial study, 97 patients undergoing CABG were randomly assigned to interventions or control groups. This study was performed in Guilan province during 2017-2018. The intervention groups were further divided into two groups of lavender and damask rose. These patients randomly before bedtime, at night from 9.00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., for five nights. The control group got routine nursing care in consistency with the hospital procedure. The data were achieved through demographic- clinical and Beck Depression inventory questionnaires.
Results: During the five-night intervention period, showed that the overall mean of depression of lavender, damask rose and control groups before the intervention were 32.5, 20.47, and 26.48, respectively, and after the intervention were 29.92, 18.66, and 25.42, respectively. The mean score of depression after intervention did not differ significantly between the three groups (p-value=0.47). The results showed that the comparison of the mean score of depression in both groups of damask rose and lavender before and after the intervention was significantly different (p-value=0.05 and p-value=0.000 respectively).
Conclusion: Aromatherapy with damask rose essential oil and lavender had a positive effect on relieving postoperative depressive symptoms. However, no superiority was found between the two intervention groups in terms of effectiveness.

Published: July 2022

Objectives: To evaluate the procedural and short-term results of percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in adults.
Methodology: We retrospectively analysed 149 consecutive patients with a secundum ASD who underwent percutaneous closure from September 2011 to January 2021. Procedural and short-term results, including arrhythmia, device embolisation and residual shunt, were assessed at 2 days and 4 weeks and 6 months after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect.
Results: The patients were 14 to 77 (37.7 ± 15.0) years old and 101 (67.8%) were female. Maximum defect size was 18.0 ± 6.3 mm measured on transoesophageal echocardiography. The device diameter used in patients who underwent closure was 21.9 ± 6.9 mm (6–38 mm). Percutaneous closure procedure success rate was 93.3%. In our study, the rates of device embolisation, arrhythmia and residual shunt were 3.6%, 1.4%, and 2.2%, respectively.
Conclusion: Transcatheter closure of ASDs in adults was feasible in our centre with good short-term outcome. The procedure should be performed in experienced centres by cardiologists specialised in the treatment of structural heart diseases due to potentially severe complications.

Published: July 2022

Objectives: Ventricular fibrosis evaluation by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been proposed as a risk factor for developing cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias and a potential indicator for sudden cardiac death (SCD). The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of myocardial fibrosis on CMR in patients who had normal invasive and/or non-invasive cardiology investigations but had subtly abnormal ECGs.
Methodology: Study was conducted at Cardiac MRI department of AFIC after the approval of ethical board. One hundred and thirty patients, between the ages of 20 to 55 years, presenting for the evaluation of chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations and atypical changes on ECG, were included in the study while patients with acute LVF, myocardial infarction, infiltrative disorders and cardiomyopathies were excluded. Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated on CMR with a variety of sequences like steady state free precession (SSFP), parametric T1 and T2 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Data was stored and analyzed on SPSS-23.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 34.2 ± 9.65 years among which 127 (97.7%) were males while 3 (2.3%) were females. Fifteen (11.5%) patients were hypertensive while 5 (3.8%) patients were diabetic. The incidence of myocardial fibrosis among our study sample was 43.1% as 56 patients had confirmed LGE or raised parametric T1 map times on CMR.
Conclusion: CMR late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 mapping can pick myocardial fibrosis in patients with abnormal ECGs and it can help in identifying patients susceptible to cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias at an early stage for better future risk stratification.

Published: July 2022

Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de responder se a disciplina positiva é uma alternativa eficaz na educação sem violência.  A pesquisa foi de abordagem qualitativa e o tipo de estudo bibliográfico. A disciplina positiva afirma que para ocorrer um neurodesenvolvimento saudável é necessário que haja um equilíbrio entre permissividade e rigidez e controle. Assim as crianças tem a oportunidade de desenvolvimento na vida social e construção da sua formação de caráter e isso se dá dentro de um ambiente onde se obtém gentileza, firmeza, respeito e dignidade. Pressupõe que a maioria dos pais deseja para seus filhos qualidades essenciais para que sejam adultos responsáveis e bem desenvolvidos emocionalmente. Apesar de ter sido encontrado que é convincente o uso de punições e violência para solucionar o mau comportamento, esse tipo de prática forma adultos inseguros e infelizes e não possui benefícios a longo prazo.

Authors: Alonso Kaciana
Published: July 2022

Este relato de experiência pretende discutir como textos literários podem ser úteis na aprendizagem de línguas adicionais embasada nos estudos da pedagogia dos multiletramentos proposta pelo The New London Group (1996). Inicialmente, são mencionados estudos teóricos que descrevem como os textos literários já foram utilizados em aulas de línguas, para então propor nova  fundamentação teórica, ancorada nos estudos de  Kalantzis e Cope (2012) e Kalantzis, Cope e Pinheiro (2020) e Kress (2010). Em seguida, são apresentadas duas produções textuais multimodais de estudantes de uma escola pública federal de Ensino Médio Profissionalizante. A partir da análise desses textos, podemos perceber que os textos literários são designs ricos em oportunidades de aprendizagem tanto da língua em uso como da formação para atuação social crítica e cidadã.

Authors: Osesua Anthony , Omoniyi Fasiku
Published: July 2022

Pesticide residues in muscle and organs of farm animals (cow, camel and goat) were assessed. Samples of muscle (meat), liver, kidney and heart were collected from central abattoirs in the four emirate councils of Kebbi State. Residues were extracted from the samples using standard operating procedures and analysed with GC-MS (Intuvo 9000 model) coupled with ECD. Total pesticide residues in the samples ranged from 0.113 to 2.532µg/Kg (muscle), 0.095 to 2.341µg/Kg (liver), 0.047 to 0.931µg/Kg (kidney and 0.026 to 0.361µg/Kg (heart). Pesticide residues concentrations were in the order; muscle > liver > kidney > heart. Analysis of the results obtained also shown that 12.150% of samples from Yauri emirate were contaminated with pesticide residues, 11.249% were contaminated from Argungu, 7.834% from Zuru and 5.784% from B/Kebbi. Samples of muscle and organs from cow accumulated 47.04% of the detected pesticide residues, Camel accumulated 44.48% of the detected residues and goat muscles and organs accumulated 8.48% of the detected pesticide residues. The concentrations of all the assessed pesticides observed in the muscle and organs were however lower than the recommended maximum residual limits (MRLs).
School-Based Mental Health Programs for Preadolescent Girls: Mitigating Social Contagion of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
Authors: Tiedemann Barbara L.
Published: July 2022

Current mental health disorder rates for preadolescent and adolescent girls demonstrate a disturbing trend, most notably a drastic increase in reports of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), especially in the age category of 10- to 14-year-olds. NSSI has become normalized in the adolescent population, and social contagion—the spreading of NSSI through peer and media influence—has become a significant concern. This article defines and discusses NSSI and social contagion and explores why preadolescent and adolescent girls may be particularly vulnerable to it. Further, current Canadian approaches to mental health promotion and primary prevention are reviewed, and an argument is made for the development and implementation of elementary school–based, gender-specific, comprehensive mental health programs. Incorporating interconnected evidence-based protective factors such as self-worth, self-compassion, emotion regulation, healthy relationships, communication, and family and school systems will provide young girls with valuable skills and knowledge to mitigate their engagement with NSSI and to resist social contagion.
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on the Nigerian Girl-Child and Suggested Remedies
Authors: S. Ojile Agnes
Published: July 2022

This paper assessed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Nigerian girl-child and suggested remedies to the problem. The objectives of the paper were to assess the impact of COVID-19 on educational development of the girl-child, the relationship between COVID-19 and gender-based violence, as well as COVID-19 and protection rights of the child. The scope of the study covers the Nigerian society particularly northern Nigeria where girl-child education is predominantly low. The methodology of the study was based on quantitative approach and data were collected from secondary sources mainly journals articles, bulletins and magazine publications on COVID-19. From the assessment, it was discovered that the major impact of COVID-19 on the Nigerian girl-child are basically in the areas of education, child protection, gender-based violence, health services and economic well-being. It was discovered that COVID-19 has led to the drop-out of the girl-child from school as well as a learning gap due to the lockdown and other strategies put in place curtail the spread of the disease. Schools were temporarily closed after which many students did not resumed after the schools were re-opened. From the fidnings of the study, it was therefore concluded that COVID-19 has negative consequences on girl-child education in Nigeria. The suggested remedies to the impact of COVD-19 on the girl-child include government looked into investing in alternate pathways to education. No one should be left behind. Structures should be put in place by all levels of government using tools like print, radio to ensure students are learning. There should be more community engagement in these areas since an online solution might not work for them because of poor internet connection and electricity. A support system should be created for them with the structures on ground already. Teachers and volunteers can have a well-organized way of engaging the children and the private sector helping to sponsor relevant infrastructure in order to bridge the gap.Corporate Social Organisations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organisations(NGOs) have to be engaged, to create a pool of volunteers that can engage students in an informal setting following the government’s social distancing guidelines to bridge the gap for these children.
Effects of Funeral Celebration on Church Activities: A Study of Selected Branches of The Church of Pentecost Among the Birifor Ethnic Group of Ghana
Authors: Asamoah Emmanuel Foster , Amankwah Jones Dwomoh
Published: July 2022

The study assessed the effects of funeral celebrations on church activities with reference to The Church of Pentecost. Data was sourced through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The study focused on the Birifor ethnic group in the Savanna Region of Ghana. The findings underscore the likelihood that people belonging to the Birifor ethnic group over rate funerals. For instance, they would put everything on hold if a family member, distant or nuclear, kicks the bucket. This tends to impact negatively on church activities; church attendance is always low during funerals. Members do not participate fully in church activities; they tend to have divided attention even at church. The following recommendations were made based on the findings of the study: there is the need for the church to piggy-back on funerals to engage in active evangelism. There is the need for the church to accept the culture of the people and tailor their programmes to suit it by adopting and contextualizing their funeral celebrations to eliminate inherent practices that contradict Christian values. In addition, the church might want to intensify education on cultural issues in such a way that members become aware of where they ought to stand as Christians.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION USERS’ BEHAVIOR BASED ON THEORY OF PLANNED
BEHAVIOR
Authors: Rezaimoghadam Mohammad Reza , Dabiri Nooradin , Davoodi Seyed Rasoul
Published: July 2022

Proper public transportation can reduce personal trip demand and result in less time allocated to
driving and ultimately, decrease traffic load and environmental pollution. Today, the high rate of
personal property ownership and its consequently increased traffic volumes have led to numerous
problems, such as air pollution, reduce in fossil fuel resources, destruction of green spaces for road
construction and decreased environmental quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
effect of the variables of the theory of planned behavior including attitude, subjective norm, and
perceived behavioral control on citizens using public transportation vehicles. In this research, a
questionnaire was provided to citizens of Gorgan, north of Iran. 650 questionnaires were distributed
among different schools of the city. The students were asked to hand out the questionnaires to
their parents to answer. At last, 362 questionnaires were collected of which 339 were confirmed
and later evaluated by statistical analyses via SPSS software. The three main variables of the
theory of planned behavior, i.e., attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, have
significant effect on the citizens’ intention using public transportation as their main choice. It
was also found that among the factors influencing the intention of using public transportation,
attitude plays the most important role. Another finding was that the subjective norm could have
a significant effect on the behavior of citizens in using public transportation. Likewise, perceived
behavioral control has a direct relation with the main behavior of citizens, yet its impact is not
so high. The results indicated that those who used more public transportation were more aware
of its benefits than others. It was also realized that in case of resolving some defects of public
transportation, they will be more willing to use it. Regarding the ease or difficulty of using such
public services, the findings revealed that the respondents had a desirable behavior about public
transportation, but still some problems needed to be addressed. The results also indicated that
subjective norm and perceived behavioral control had less impact on the attitude of the citizens in
Gorgan, so more careful planning should be made on these two variables, that is, measures such
as social pressures from authorities, influential individuals, as well as parents should be taken
into account. It can be facilitated by increasing the possibilities of using public transport system.

Open spaces are an important feature of any neighborhood since they serve as a hub
for the community’s socio-cultural activities. According to the National Population
Commission, 64% of the population in northern Nigeria lives in rural areas and utilizes
outdoor spaces for their socio-cultural lives. The typology and ownership of rural open
spaces in north-western Nigeria have become major concerns for their impact on its
management. This research explores the typology and ownership of open space in rural
areas within north-western Nigeria to adduce the challenges facing its role in sustaining
the communities’ cultural values. Observation from five communities in the Batagarawa
local government. The study discovered a subconscious classification of rural open spaces
into the community and private open spaces, each with defined boundaries, and the study
also identified relevant stakeholders. As a result, the study suggests that the government
play a coordinating role in resolving any disagreements among stakeholders so that
open spaces can be better identified and the cultural values of these open spaces can be
preserved, and thus concludes that open space typology and ownership have become a
critical concern in sustaining the roles of open spaces in northern Nigeria’s semi-arid
region

Arulmigu Kamatchi Amman Devasthanam in Penang is the sole Vishwakarma community temple in Malaysia, and it marks an entry into the world of Pathars; the traditional
Tamil goldsmiths, a sub-ethnic group within the local Indian diaspora. The conception
of this temple as “devasthanam” or “place of God”, by the Pathars, implores this study
to explore this community temple as a place. This study frames the temple and the lived
experience a person has in it as a unit of analysis. The primary data comes from ethnographic study that involves participant observation and spatial study. The secondary data
is drawn from document and photo reviews alongside the writings of pioneering Indian art
historians. The findings of this study are chronicled as a narrative account to reveal this
temple as a dimension of the local Pathar community’s lifeworld and to understand how
it develops into a locus that gathers human experience, insideness and identity formation
through the conception of Hindu temple as a synergy of form, meaning and use. The
findings of this study not only record this temple as a space of specific cultural continuity,
but highlights the need to recognize the diversity and differences within Indian diaspora

Purpose: We are all busy, especially those responsible for family expenditure. We have lots of pressure in our workspace. Some employees are still doing work from home. Family being converted into an office as well. The problem arises when our small kids cry during a scheduled meeting. Sometimes need someone who can swing the baby’s cradle. Here we demonstrated an automated baby cradle which is useful when our baby cries. We can put our kids into the robotic cradle and engage in other work. When the baby cries, we trigger the run button from our working PC/Laptop, and the cradle starts to swing automatically. Here we used Dobot Magician for this purpose, a famous robot in the education and research sector due to its cost-effectiveness. To drive the robot, we developed an application in C#. It is a small program that is used to swing the cradle. Here we move the robot by the program. So we can change the program quickly, so our sweetheart feels more comfortable inside the cradle. The entire project source code is available on Github. Anyone downloading the project can integrate, test, and continue further improvement.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In our research, we used the Dobot magician robot to swing the cradle. One support-like stick is connected between the robot and the cradle to push the cradle. The robot is driven by the program written inside the programming area. The original API is a little bit programming specific. So we provided intermediate programming space to write code as our understandable language. The complete application is developed using the C# language under Microsoft visual studio 2022. We used the vendor-provided dynamic link library to send the command to the robot to reduce development time.
Findings/Result: We can integrate the Dobot magician robot into our custom project after developing the complete system. The movement pattern can be changed by changing the program, which may be used for different task execution utilizing the robot. The IDE can also be used for other robots, like UARM metal, a 3D printer, etc. Under the code, any robot can be operated using this interface. It has a programming interface, as well as a command-line interface. We can test, debug and experiment as well.
Originality/Value: We created our application in C#, a modern, easy and flexible language. The IDE has lots of scope for experiments. The program has very easy to understand. We use the robot to swing the cradle for flexibility in nature. We can change the swings pattern by changing the parameter value, which is impossible in fixed monotonous movement. This can give us a unique feature than most other available procedures to swing the cradle.

La importancia de la Fratelli tutti en la India. Construir puentes y superar las fronteras divisorias
Authors: Monteiro* Evelyn
Published: July 2022

Todos estamos conectados: tanto lo que hago como lo que dejo de hacer afecta la vida del “otro”. El mundo está hoy sacudido por una grave xenofobia y por importantes conflictos. La mayoría de la humanidad se encuentra atrapada en el torbellino de la codicia y de la indiferencia hacia los demás. Con la intención de discernir acerca del sistema mundial, el papa Francisco presentó a la humanidad dos encíclicas sociales clarividentes y estrechamente relacionadas entre sí: Laudato si’ (2015) y Fratelli tutti (2020). En términos generales, Fratelli tutti apela a la cooperación interreligiosa y a formas populares de consenso social como el mejor camino hacia la igualdad y la paz. No nacemos naturalmente hermanos o hermanas, sino que cada día debemos aprender a serlo. Solo juntos podemos remendar el desgarro de la humanidad. El pluralismo es la característica más apreciada de la India, junto con la libertad de creer y de practicar la religión que cada uno desee escoger, lo que constituye la experiencia más significativa de la ciudadanía india en la mayor democracia del mundo. Nuestro artículo reflexiona sobre la recepción de Fratelli tutti en esta India plural, hoy amenazada y desfigurada por la indiferencia y las duras desigualdades sociales que no dejan de aumentar. India sufre también el virus de la ideología fascista que engendra una sociedad donde abunda el miedo y el odio. Nos adentramos aquí en la relevancia de esta encíclica para la vida y la misión de la Iglesia en India, que tiene el desafío de avanzar y de buscar formas concretas de promover una cultura del cuidado, así como de formar comunidades de fraternidad en la Iglesia y la sociedad.

Today Many car accidents are caused in significant part by driver weariness. According to recent figures, fatigue-related collisions result in 1,200 fatalities and 76,000 injuries per year. The evolution of the development of technologies for detecting and avoiding drowsiness at the wheel is a major challenge in the field of accident avoidance systems. Because of the risk that drowsiness presents on the road, methods need to be developed for prevent its affects. The goal of this project is to develop a prototype drowsiness detection system. The focus is on designing a system that will correctly monitor the open or closed state of the drivers eyes in real-time. By observing the eyes, it is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident. Detection of drowsy involves a pattern of images of a face, and the observation of eye movements and blink rate. The analysis of face images is a popular research area with applications such as face recognition, virtual tools, and human identification security systems. This project is used the localization of the eyes, which involves looking at the image of the face, and deciding the position of the eyes by developing matlab program. Once the position of the eyes is located, the system is designed to decide whether the eyes are opened or closed, and detect drowsiness. The purpose of this study is to detect drowsiness in drivers to prevent accidents and to improve safety on the highways.
