La dinámica de las interrelaciones entre las comunidades humanas y las plantas silvestres empleadas como alimento en la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Saur Palmieri Valentina
Published: September 2022

Introducción y objetivos: La recolección de plantas silvestres ha integrado las prácticas alimentarias de los grupos humanos que habitaron la provincia de Córdoba desde tiempos prehispánicos. Considerando el carácter dinámico de los conocimientos botánicos locales, el objetivo de este trabajo consistió en reunir y analizar la información sobre el tema procedente de diferentes fuentes en torno a cuáles han sido los cambios y continuidades en la utilización de especies vegetales silvestres comestibles y las representaciones sociales sobre estas plantas, en el territorio cordobés, a través del tiempo.M&M: Se analizaron tanto documentos históricos como estudios arqueobotánicos, etnohistóricos y etnobotánicos correspondientes a cinco períodos desde el Período Prehispánico Tardío (PPT, 400-1550 AD) hasta la actualidad, registrando los taxones referidos como alimento, las partes utilizadas y las actividades de procesamiento involucradas, para luego realizar comparaciones entre etapas.Resultados: Se relevó un total de 76 taxones utilizados como comestibles por las comunidades del territorio cordobés, desde el PPT hasta el presente. Sólo cuatro taxones fueron comunes a todos los períodos. Mientras que algunas actividades actuales datan del PPT (almacenamiento, hervido), otras son recientes. Asimismo, otras prácticas han perdido vigencia.Conclusiones: Sin perder de vista los sesgos y limitaciones de la documentación, las similitudes y diferencias en especies y actividades registradas en las fuentes permitieron inferir continuidades y cambios a través del tiempo en los saberes locales respecto a vegetales silvestres. Así, se logró complejizar la visión acerca del dinamismo en las concepciones acerca de lo considerado “bueno para comer”.

Authors: Anconatani Leonardo
Published: September 2022

Introducción y objetivos: En este artículo se aborda la etnobotánica médica de los criollos del este de la provincia de Formosa (Argentina) a partir de la descripción y el estudio de una patología particular propia de su etnomedicina, el py’a ruru hepatitis o estómago hinchado(su etiología, terapéutica y las plantas involucradas en su tratamiento). Estas poblaciones rurales y periurbanas de raigambre hispano-guarani habitan en la región del Chaco Húmedo y en su medicina y etnobotánica se observan nociones clasificatorias relacionadas a la teoría hipocrático-galénica tal como ocurre en las medicinas y etnobotánicas de otros pueblos del país y de América
M&M: Se recolectó la información etnobotánica por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, se recolectó material vegetal y se adquirieron muestras en el mercado local.
Resultados: Se describe y analiza la etiología y terapéutica del py’a ruru de manera exhaustiva. Se detallan las 21 especies vegetales empleadas en su terapéutica (que redundan en 21 datos etnobotánicos médicos), 10 de ellas clasificadas como “remedios frescos” y 7 de ellas como “remedios secantes”.
Conclusiones: Las continuidades y discontinuidades de nociones cálido-frescas y seco-húmedas propias de los criollos locales en su etnobotánica médica y etnomedicina, junto a las 21 especies vegetales empleadas en la terapéutica de la enfermedad descripta, permiten vislumbrar la riqueza de los saberes que se ponen en práctica en la medicina doméstica y la de especialistas en el este de la provincia de Formosa.

Published: September 2022

Heart failure (HF) and depression are both major medical health issues in our society. Currently, an increasing number of studies demonstrate an association between HF and depression. The prevalence of depression is higher in patients with HF, and depression also increases the incidence of HF. Currently, depression has been listed as a major risk factor for heart disease. Patients with HF and comorbid depression have significantly higher rates of hospitalization and mortality, and clinical symptoms manifest as decreased activity tolerance and decreased muscle mass. Enhancement of the muscle function improves the prognosis of patients with HF and depression. Sarcopenia is defined as age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass plus loss of muscle strength and/or reduced physical performance, and its pathogenesis involves malnutrition, physical inactivity, endocrine disorders and chronic inflammation, which are also involved in the pathogenesis of HF with comorbid depression. Therefore, it would be intriguing to explore the linkage between HF, depression and sarcopenia. This review presents an overview of HF with comorbid depression and sarcopenia, elucidates the mechanisms involved in these disorders, and finally summarizes the treatment strategies of HF with comorbid depression and sarcopenia.

Intelligence of Artificial Intelligence: Philosophy
Authors: Parekh Hetvi
Published: September 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapidly spreading over the human world like the spread of any virus. Artificial intelligence plays its game from making a simple web search - to driving a car - to making a machine acting like a human (robot) - to launching a shuttle into the space. In such scenario, the question arises that whether artificial intelligence is completely duplication of human intelligence. To answer this question, philosophy highlights an important aspect of ‘consciousness’, which artificial intelligence is deprived of. Also, artificial intelligence and pre-programmed machines somewhere neglect the virtues and morals that are imbibed within the humans. To fill up such voids in the working conditions, human intervention becomes undeniable. Various philosophical arguments, ethical problem theories and scientific, technological and fictional experiments blend in as evidences to draw the superiority among the human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

Paradigmatic predictability metrics as signals of phylogenetic relatedness: a proof of concept in Romance and Pamean diachrony
Authors: Herce Borja , Bickel Balthasar
Published: September 2022

Morphological complexity metrics like entropy, and notions like the Paradigm Cell-Filling Problem, have recently (re)gained popularity for the synchronic analysis of inflectional systems. The potential of these quantitative approaches, however, remains largely untapped with respect to diachronic research. This paper constitutes a first exploration of whether/how these methods can be used profitably in this domain. It consists of a proof of concept that explores quantitatively the diachronic stability of different aspects/metrics of an inflection class system's predictability relations (in Romance), as well as the possibility to use these diagnostically to identify cognate tenses and inflection classes in related languages (in Pame) even after most of the morphological material has been replaced or altered beyondrecognition. The results suggest that quantitative predictability metrics can preserve a strong phylogenetic signal over extended periods of time and fruitfully complement traditional qualitative approaches to explore diachronic relations.
Understanding and changing community attitudes towards vulnerable families: A review of literature and practice
Authors: Borg Kim , Faulkner Nicholas , Slattery Peter , Tear Morgan James
Published: September 2022

Background: Communities can play an important role in protecting children and supporting vulnerable families. However, there is currently a lack of understanding regarding what communities actually think and do regarding these groups. Objective: The purpose of this study was to review and synthesize evidence on community attitudes and behaviours towards vulnerable families. Methods: A rapid systematic literature review was conducted, supplemented by six semi-structured interviews with experienced practitioners. Four databases were searched using keywords related to community attitudes and behaviours, parents and families, and family and child protection services. Results: Database searches returned 10,135 unique records, of which 23 met the inclusion criteria. The identified articles investigated a range of attitudes and behaviours, including: reporting abuse and neglect; assisting victims of intimate partner violence; attitudes towards parenting practices; and, participating in activities that build social support and social capital. Correlates of these attitudes and behaviours included: socio-demographic characteristics, individual differences, community characteristics, and incident characteristics. A number of interventions to change community attitudes and behaviours were also identified. Practitioners indicated that success factors for interventions included: facilitating active participation from community members; using multi-faceted approaches; and increasing empathy towards vulnerable families. Conclusions: Despite increasing evidence around how community members think and act towards vulnerable families, more (particularly review-level) research is needed to determine how to effectively change these attitudes and behaviours.

Electrophysiological evidence for the enhancement of gesture-speech integration by linguistic predictability during multimodal discourse comprehension
Authors: Hintz Florian , Khoe Yung Han , Strauss Antje , Psomakas Adam , HOLLER JUDITH
Published: September 2022

In face-to-face discourse, listeners exploit cues in the input to generate predictions about upcoming words. Moreover, in addition to speech, speakers produce a multitude of visual signals, such as iconic gestures, which listeners readily integrate with incoming words. Previous studies have shown that processing of target words is facilitated when these are embedded in predictable compared to non- predictable discourses and when accompanied by iconic compared to meaningless gestures. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of both factors. We recorded electroencephalogram from 60 Dutch adults while they were watching videos of an actress producing short discourses. The stimuli consisted of an introductory and a target sentence; the latter contained a target noun. Depending on the preceding discourse, the target noun was either predictable or not. Each target noun was paired with an iconic gesture and a gesture that did not convey meaning. In both conditions, gesture presentation in the video was timed such that the gesture stroke slightly preceded the onset of the spoken target by 130 ms. Our ERP analyses revealed independent facilitatory effects for predictable discourses and iconic gestures. However, the interactive effect of both factors demonstrated that target processing (i.e., gesture-speech integration) was facilitated most when targets were part of predictable discourses and accompanied by an iconic gesture. Our results thus suggest a strong intertwinement of linguistic predictability and non-verbal gesture processing where listeners exploit predictive discourse cues to pre-activate verbal and non-verbal representations of upcoming target words.
TANGO: A reliable, open-source, browser-based task to assess individual differences in gaze understanding in 3 to 5-year-old children and adults
Authors: Prein Julia Christin , Kalinke Steven , Haun Daniel , Bohn Manuel
Published: September 2022

Traditional measures of social cognition used in developmental research often lack satisfactory psychometric properties and are not designed to capture variation between individuals. Here, we present the TANGO (Task for Assessing iNdividual differences in Gaze understanding-Open); a brief (approx. 5–10min), reliable, open-source task to quantify individual dif-ferences in the understanding of gaze cues. Localizing the attentional focus of an agent is crucial in inferring their mental states, building common ground, and thus, supporting cooperation. Our interactive browser-based task works across devices and enables in-person and remote testing. The implemented spatial layout allows for discrete and continuous measures of participants’ click imprecision and is easily adaptable to different study requirements. Our task measures inter-individual differences in a child (N = 387) and an adult (N = 236) sample. Our two study versions and data collection modes yield com-parable results that show substantial developmental gains: the older children are, the more accurately they locate the target. High internal consistency and test–retest reliability estimates underline that the captured variation is systematic. Associations with social-environmental factors and language skills speak to the validity of the task. This work shows a promising way forward in studying individual differences in social cognition and will help us explore the structure and development of our core social-cognitive processes in greater detail.
Public Pressure or Peer Influence: What Shapes Police Executives' Views on Civilian Oversight?
Authors: Adams Ian T. , McCrain Joshua , Schiff Daniel S. , Schiff Kaylyn Jackson , Mourtgos Scott M.
Published: September 2022

Demand for democratic accountability in policing is accelerating, yet little is understood about how law enforcement executives engage in policy learning around civilian oversight. This paper shares the results of a novel survey experiment administered to all U.S. police chiefs and sheriffs. We assess whether police executives’ attitudes towards civilian oversight are responsive to 1) state-level public opinion (drawing on an n=16,840 survey) and 2) prior adoption of civilian review boards in large agencies. Results from over 1,300 police executives reveal that law enforcement leaders are responsive to peer adoption but much less to public opinion, despite overwhelming support amongst voters. Further, we find that agencies with an established oversight board are highly supportive of their existence, while elected sheriffs are much less likely to support civilian oversight. Our results indicate that policy learning and reform around civilian oversight are possible, though sources of reform are not themselves primarily democratic.
Modeling Officer Perceptions of Body-worn Cameras: A National Survey
Authors: Adams Ian T.
Published: September 2022

Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are a permanent, though not well understood, feature of modern US policing. As a technological solution to the perception that officers use force too often, BWCs have not fared well. This dissertation sidesteps questions of effectiveness, however, and instead investigates how the cameras are perceived by officers, and how variations in BWC policies affect perceptions of monitoring fairness. To do so, I use a national probability sample of officers (n = 529) drawn from a stratified sample of agencies across the United States.Theoretically, I draw primarily from two literatures. First, from the organizational psychology literature, which is where the vast majority of research on the individual-level effects of electronic workplace surveillance has been done. Second, I draw on the organizationaljustice literature, specifically elements related to how criminal justice employees form judgements of fairness regarding their workplace treatment. The results show how policy variation in BWC activation and footage review affect officer perceptions of fairnessboth on their own and interactively.

Authors: Pertika Dinda , Nasution Syafruddin , Tanjung Afrizal
Published: September 2022

Community structure is a concept that studies the composition or composition of species and abundance in a community. Coastal waters are areas with a depth of less than 200 meters and there is a littoral area located between the highest tide and the lowest low tide or called the intertidal area. One of the community of organisms in this intertidal area is gastropods. This research was conducted from December 2021 to January 2022. The purpose of the study was to determine the structure of the gastropod community in the coastal waters of North Rupat District consisting of species, density, diversity index, uniformity index, dominance index, distribution pattern, and community similarity. As supporting data in this study, several environmental parameters were also measured which included water quality, sediment type and sediment organic matter content. The research method used is a survey method, where sampling using the quadrant transect method is carried out at 3 stations. Based on the results of the study found 14 species of gastropods. The species that were found in all stations were Indothais gradata. Gastropod density is 15.800 ind/ha. Diversity index value (H') 1.85, uniformity index (E) 0.70, dominance index (C) 0.24, distribution pattern (Id) 3.24 is clustered, species similarity index (Ss) between stations Tanjung Medang and Teluk Rhu 83% of species are almost the same and between stations Tanjung Medang and Tanjung Punak 15% and between stations Teluk Rhu and Tanjung Punak 17% are not the same. Water quality parameters as follows: temperature 27-28oC; salinity 30-31 ppt; pH 6-7. Sediment organic matter 0.50-2.28%, sand sediment type

Published: September 2022

Ornamental fish is one of the main merchandise from the fisheries sector whose ability can generate income for the state and create income that can help the community's economy, especially those who are engaged in fisheries or cultivators. The most effective and dominant type of carotenoids for coloring fish is carotenoids derived from carrot flour because it is a natural source of beta carotene which can improve the quality and color brightness of ornamental fish such as lemon fish. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments (carrot flour 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) and three replications. The feed was tested on lemon cichlid fish measuring 3.7 - 4 cm and weighing 0.8 - 1 g which were kept in a 10 L jar. Parameters observed were growth rate, absolute weight, absolute length growth rate, survival rate, water quality and color increase in lemon fish. The results showed that the addition of 15% carrot flour had an effect on the color 9% brightness of lemon fish (Labidochromis caeruleus). The results showed that the addition of carrot flour for growth and color improvement was in the 15% carrot flour treatment, the absolute weight growth value was 0.73 g/fish, length 0.56 cm/fish, survival rate was 96.6%. The addition of carrot flour to the growth and color improvement can be concluded that a dose of 15% affects growth and can increase the color of lemon fish

Effect of Heat on Velocity and Heat Transfer Coefficient of the Fluid in a Pipe with a Laminar Flow
Authors: Poudel Madhav Prasad
Published: September 2022

The study of flow of liquids in a circular pipe has been studied for a long time. The theoretical and numerical analysis of viscous fluid is very important in the field of physics, engineering and even in medicine. In any fluid flow, the Napier-Stokes equation are very important to study the nature of flow. On the basis of Reynold number, the flow is either classified as laminar or turbulent. When the heat is supplied to a circular pipe with a liquid having laminar flow, the velocity, rate of flow of volume, temperature gradient, etc. are changed. This study aims to investigate the change in velocity, pressure drop, frictional factor and temperature distribution in the thermal layer across the liquid in the laminar flow. Various boundary conditions are assumed and the conservation of energy, momentum are also considered.

Linking Teacher Quality and School Discipline Disproportionality
Authors: Wang Shuyang , Graham Jerome , Flamini Monica , Cevik Salih
Published: September 2022

The racial disparities in school discipline and lack of teacher diversity represent two pressing issues facing educational equity. While traditional measures of teacher quality center on experience and credentials, little extant literature situates teacher diversity as an aspect of teacher quality. To fill this gap, we explore how both teacher experience and racial diversity are associated with school-level student discipline outcomes, and how they vary by schools’ contextual factors. We find that while teacher diversity and experience predict both reductions in disciplinary incidents and consequences, only changes in the share of Black teachers a school employs are associated with reductions in the Black–White racial school discipline gap. We position our findings in the Diversity Intelligence and People as Technology frameworks and discuss implications for policy and educational human resources practices.
Targeting metabolism through exercise and nutrition to rejuvenate an aging immune system
Authors:   College of Health Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA., D. Pence Brandt
Published: September 2022

Dysregulated metabolism is a hallmark of the aging process. Immune function is tightly controlled by cellular metabolism, and emerging evidence indicates that aged immune cells have alterations in metabolism that may promote aging-related disease. Lifestyle interventions including diet and exercise are potent strategies for targeting metabolic dysfunction in aging, but to date, only a few studies have examined the ability of exercise or diet to regulate immunometabolism, despite their well-known positive effects on healthspan and lifespan. Utilizing lifestyle modification as precision medicine to target age-related diseases through modulating immunometabolism is promising, but a great deal of work remains. Keywords: Immunometabolism, exercise, diet, inflammaging, immunosenescence
A snapshot of contemporary leadership at pediatric neurosurgery fellowships
Authors: Vallejo Frederic A. , Schachner Benjamin , VanderVeer-Harris Nathan , Torres Adrian A. , Weng John , Chang Henry , Bollo Robert , Ragheb John
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

Many pathways to positions of leadership exist within pediatric neurological surgery. The authors sought to investigate common trends in leadership among pediatric neurosurgery fellowship directors (FDs) and describe how formalized pediatric neurosurgical training arrived at its current state.

METHODS

Fellowship programs were identified using the Accreditation Council for Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowships website. Demographic, training, membership, and research information was collected via email, telephone, curricula vitae, and online searches.

RESULTS

The authors’ survey was sent to all 35 identified FDs, and 21 responses were received. Response data were supplemented with curricula vitae and online data prior to analysis. FDs were predominantly male, self-identified predominantly as Caucasian, and had a mean age of 53 years. The mean duration from residency graduation until FD appointment was 13.4 years. The top training programs to produce future FDs were New York University and Washington University in St. Louis (residency) and Washington University in St. Louis (fellowship).

CONCLUSIONS

This study characterizes the current state of pediatric neurosurgery fellowship program leadership. The data serve as an important point of reference to compare with future leadership as well as contrast with neurosurgery and other surgical disciplines in general.
Natural history and treatment of deep-seated brain arteriovenous malformations in pediatric patients
Authors: Sattari *Shahab Aldin , Yang Wuyang , Xu Risheng , Feghali James , Tamargo Rafael J. , Huang Judy
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

Pediatric deep brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) represent a unique management challenge given their higher cumulative risk of hemorrhage as well as a higher risk of treatment. Better understanding of hemorrhage risk in this patient population will lead to a better decision-making process for patient management.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed their institutional bAVM database from 1990 to 2019 and included patients younger than 21 years who had deep-seated bAVMs. They present the annual hemorrhage risk, during the natural history and after treatment, and functional outcomes.

RESULTS

Thirty-one pediatric patients were included in this study (13 males and 18 females) with a mean age of 11.8 (SD 4.4) years. The most frequent presenting symptoms were headache (54.8%), weakness (38.7%), and seizure (22.6%). The mean follow-up duration was 13.14 (SD 12.5) years, during which 7 (22.6%) AVMs were obliterated, 10 (32.3%) individuals experienced hemorrhage, and the modified Rankin Scale score worsened in 8 (25.8%) patients. The annual natural history risk of hemorrhage was 3.24% per patient, and the overall annual hemorrhage risk after treatment was 1.98% per patient. In particular, the risk was reduced to 0.64% per patient in the stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) group. Non-White race showed a trend of higher rupture at presentation (OR 5 [95% CI 0.84–41.68], p = 0.09). Female sex was associated with higher odds (OR 13.076 [95% CI 1.424–333.591], p = 0.048) and SRS was associated with lower odds (OR 0.122 [95% CI 0.011–0.862], p = 0.049) of follow-up hemorrhage.

CONCLUSIONS

Given the substantial cumulative risk of lifelong hemorrhagic stroke in pediatric patients, timely definitive treatment is warranted. SRS may be beneficial when the risk-benefit profile is deemed acceptable.

With the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) adopted on July 14, 2021 by the European Commission, it begins to reach the heart of the global debate on the opportunity to adopt mechanisms to combat the phenomenon of ‘carbon leakage’, that is the attempt to evade existing carbon pricing systems through the delocalization of the most polluting activities. In this way, the European Union demonstrates its serious intention to strengthen actions against climate change and to identify customs taxation as an instrument to guide the choices of its trading partners and, therefore, of the major world economies. The precautions adopted in the application of the CBAM and the long transitional period before its entry into force, however, prevent the full appreciation of its potential repercussions (also) in terms of the new own resource of the European budget.
“THE COUNTRY OF A DISTANT AND MYSTERIOUS TRIBE”: RUSSIA AND RUSSIAN LITERATURE IN ITALIAN JOURNALS AND BOOKS FOR CHILDREN (1920–1940S)
Authors:   Università degli studi di Milano, Vassena Raffaella
Published: September 2022

This article examines translations and adaptations of Russian literature in Italian periodicals and book series for children in the fascist period (1921–1945). By analyzing the repertoire of publications translated from Russian and other languages and comparing it with the repertoire of translations from other foreign literatures, the share of Russian authors is established, the most popular genres and narrative characteristics of Russian texts are identified, the cultural and pedagogical aims of publishing Russian books and what factors influenced the selection of works for translation are clarified if possible. Special attention is paid to the cooperation between Russian emigrants and Italian editors and illustrators, as well as to the perception of Russian literature by Italian educational critics. The analysis offers an essential contribution to the study of Italian-Russian cultural and literary relations in the first half of the twentieth century and sheds light on hitherto little-studied publishing practices that after World War II would allow Russian classics to reach an increasingly diverse audience in Italy.
TALES, TEXTS AND IMAGES: APPROACHES TO FOLKTALE ILLUSTRATIONS
Authors:   Hamburg University, Gerber Marina
Published: September 2022

This essay thematizes issues around studying and analyzing book illustrations of folktales and folk wondertales. It surveys some of the most recent and relevant studies of folktale illustration by international scholars with the view of developing a systematic approach to the emergence of a large corpus of Russian folktale illustration since the rise of the illustrated folktale book in the late 19 th century in Russia. The specific focus of the survey is on approaches that are able to address the large amount and variety of illustration traditions of particular folk wondertales on the one hand, and the cultural and historical dynamics of the literary interpretation of the tale. To contrast these approaches from literature studies and art history, the essay also raises the perspective of folklore studies on book illustration. This raises important perspectives around the relation between tales, texts and images, that have yet remained muted or presupposed.
I. A. KRYLOV’S FAME AS A CHILDREN’S WRITER IN TWENTIETH–CENTURY ITALY
Authors:   Pavia University, Fascella Angelica
Published: September 2022

This article investigates the fame of the Russian fabulist Ivan Krylov (1769–1844) in Italy in the 20 th century, with special reference to the collections of fables of that period, which were intended for children. Indeed, the first Krylov’s fables in Italian language had been published in Paris in 1825, but in Italy they were unsuccessful: overall there was little interest in Russian literature and language. Only in the beginning of the following century, when Russian literature, language and culture has already become familiar to most Italian scholars and readers, have Krylov’s fables gained considerable popularity in Italy. As Krylov’s fame in Italy in 20 th century is a relatively little–studied topic, this work briefly presents a list of the Italian versions of Krylov’s fables published in that period. Afterwards, the article particularly focuses on the role played by the Russian fabulist in Italian Children’s literature: the analysis has been carried out with reference to the characteristics identified in some collections for children.

BACKGROUND: Amputation has significant negative impacts on physical, psychological, social and economic wellbeing of individuals and families. This is potentially compounded by significant delays to rehabilitation in Bangladesh. OBJECTIVE: To quantify disability, occupation and socioeconomic status of people with unilateral lower-limb amputation (LLA) and their families in Bangladesh, post-amputation and pre-rehabilitation. METHODS: Between November 2017 and February 2018, people with unilateral LLA attending two locations of Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed, Bangladesh, for prosthetic rehabilitation were surveyed pre-rehabilitation, using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS-2.0) with additional socio-economic questions. Data were analysed descriptively, using cross-tabulation with Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. RESULTS: Seventy-six individuals participated. The majority had traumatic (64.5%), transtibial amputation (61.8%), were young adults (37.92±12.35 years), in paid work prior to LLA (80%), married (63.2%), male (81.6%), from rural areas (78.9%), with primary/no education (72.4%). After LLA mobility (WHODAS score 74.61±13.19) was their most negatively affected domain. Most (60.5%) did not return to any occupation. Acute healthcare costs negatively impacted most families (89.5%), over 80% becoming impoverished. Nearly 70% of previous income-earners became economically dependent changing traditional family roles. CONCLUSIONS: Following LLA, most participants experienced significant mobility impairment and became economically dependent. The impact of LLA extends beyond the individual, to families who often face challenges to traditional primary earner gendered roles. Improved access to timely and affordable rehabilitation is required to reduce the significant personal and societal costs of disability after LLA.
