Anthropometric recovery of children 6-59 months with complicated severe acute malnutrition, treated in public hospitals of Sana’a City
Authors: Al Amad Mohammed Abdullah , Raja'a Yahyia Ahmed , Algendari Khaled
Published: September 2024

Background: The management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in inpatient therapeutic feeding centers (TFCs) is a life-saving intervention for children 6-59 months in Yemen.
Aims: To evaluate the anthropometric recovery of children admitted to the TFCs and transferred to complete treatment in outpatient programs (OTPs) of Sana’a City Public Hospitals.
Methods: A prospective follow-up study for children admitted to TFCs from September 2023 to April 2024 was conducted. The anthropometry measurements of the Weight-for-Height Z score (WHZ) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) were calculated and used to follow the progression in recovery until the discharge from OTPs. 
Results: Of the total 150 children admitted to TFCs, 48 (32%) were males, and 75 (50%) were aged 6-<12 months; 99 (66%) had both WHZ <-3 and MUAC <11.5); 25 (17%) had WHZ <-3; and 26 (17%) had MUAC<11.5 cm. At the point of transfer from TFCs, 72% (108) were with SAM, and 28% (42/150) with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM). At discharge from OTP, 19% (28/150) were with non-acute malnutrition (NAM); the progression to NAM was among 48% (20/42) and 7% (8/108) of children transferred with MAM and SAM, P value (<0.001).
In conclusion, 88% (132/150) of children transferred from TFCs were discharged as cured from OTP, 21% (28/132) of them were anthropometrically recovered, and 79% were prematurely discharged.
Archäologie der Republik Freies Wendland. Zu einer kritischen Archäologie der Zeitgeschichte
Authors: Dézsi Attila
Published: September 2024

In Zeiten zunehmender Krisen und Konflikte möchte diese Studie Orte der Demokratiegeschichte und Momente der Hoffnung auf eine alternative Zukunft aufzeigen. Die Republik Freies Wendland, ein im Mai 1980 von Landwirt*innen und Anwohner*innen in Niedersachsen bei Gorleben gegründetes Protestdorf, wird archäologisch untersucht, um seine Bedeutung über den bloßen Widerstand gegen ein Atommüllendlager hinaus zu verstehen. Das Dorf diente als Ort präfigurativer Politik und als Demonstration für alternatives Gemeinschaftsleben, der Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien und angewandter Basisdemokratie. Um diesen Protestort des späten 20. Jahrhunderts zu erforschen, werden Ergebnisse aus archäologischen Feldforschungen, der Analyse materieller Kultur, mündlicher Überlieferung und historischen Fotografien in einem quellenübergreifenden Ansatz miteinander verwoben und gegenübergestellt. Durch diesen interdisziplinären Ansatz und der Einbeziehung ehemaliger Teilnehmer*innen des Protestdorfes in den Forschungsprozess werden nicht nur das Alltagsleben, die Infrastruktur und die soziale Dynamik innerhalb des Protestdorfs rekonstruiert, sondern auch neue Quellengattungen, Methoden und neue Wege zur Demokratisierung der Wissensproduktion für die Zeitgeschichtliche Archäologie erschlossen. Diese archäologische Intervention versucht, die fortwährende Geschichte der Protestkultur und die ungelöste Frage der Zwischen- und Endlagerung von hochradioaktivem Atommüll aus Atomkraftwerken in den Blick zu rücken. Sie vergegenwärtigt die Bedeutung der Republik Freies Wendland als kulturelles Erbe der Hoffnung.
Synthesis of sodium alginate composite bioplastic films
Authors: Kim Roy , Kim Sookang , Jensen Martin
Published: September 2024

In recent years, plastic pollution has reached high levels; eight million metric tons of plastic waste leaked into the oceans in 2010, with estimates predicting 53 million metric tons of emissions annually by 2030. The increasing use of single-use plastics accounts for much of this mismanaged plastic. Aside from harming marine ecosystems, burning plastic waste in landfills may release toxic chemicals that cause illnesses. Bioplastic, a plastic derived from biological sources, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to mitigate this issue. However, their lack of biodegradability and high costs restrict widespread adoption. We investigated the development of alginate-based bioplastic films as a sustainable plastic alternative. We hypothesized a sodium alginate-based bioplastic film synthesized in ambient conditions would demonstrate higher biodegradability, higher tensile strength, higher solubility in water, lower oxygen permeability, and lower water vapor permeability compared to PET plastic packaging films. We synthesized the films in ambient conditions with glycerol and calcium chloride as an added plasticizer. The material displayed transparency and flexibility. Additionally, the film was able to dissolve in water after 180 minutes and biodegrade in microbial conditions (i.e., environments that can sustain microbes and other decomposers) within seven days. Ultimately, our research supports sodium alginate composite films as a biodegradable bioplastic film that exhibits higher solubility in water, and greater biodegradability compared to PET plastic films. However, contrary to our hypothesis, sodium alginate composite films also demonstrated lower tensile strength and higher water vapor permeability. This suggests sodium alginate composite films are not ready to replace PET packaging films in the industry.

Como navegar o caósmos / Um olhar esquizo sobre a percepção, a linguagem e o pensamento na esquizofrenia
Authors: Spadotto Dani
Published: September 2024

Neste artigo apresentamos a esquizofrenia não como patologia, como postulado pelas ciências da mente, mas como um modo de pen-ser artístico que permeia a sociedade e a cultura. Para isso, analisamos como a pessoa esquizofrênica percebe, pensa e produz linguagem, bem  como suas sensibilidade e formas de criar conhecimento se manifestam na arte e na filosofia na contemporaneidade, instaurando um tipo de humor (stimmung) esquizofrênico. Partimos do pressuposto de que o esquizo possui sensibilidade estética e corpo artista, pois, ao se empenhar na manutenção de sua vida, ele põe em xeque as estruturas e categorias estabelecidas e cria novas formas de estar no mundo e com ele se relacionar – formas intimamente ligadas aos modos de fazer artístico, ou seja, o esquizo cria o fora com sua linguagem poética e torna partilhável seu encontro fundamental com o mundo. Nos apoiamos em bibliografia plural, em que as contribuições de Guattari, Deleuze e dos pensadores que se seguiram exercem protagonismo.
Palavras-chave: Esquizofrenia. Estética. Arte. Filosofia.
AbstractThis article presents schizophrenia not as pathology, as postulated by the sciences of mind, but as an artistic way of pen-ser that permeates society and culture. We analyze how schizophrenic people perceive, think and produce language and how their sensitivity and ways of creating knowledge manifest themselves in contemporary art and philosophy, configuring a kind of schizophrenic stimmung. We assume that the schizo has an aesthetic sensitivity and an artistic body because as she/he maintains her/his life, she/he questions structures and conditional categories while creating new ways of being in the world and relating to it – forms that are intimately linked to ways of artistic making, that is, the schizo creates the outside with her/his poetic language and makes her/his fundamental encounter with the world shareable. We rely on aplural bibliography, in which the contributions of Guattari, Deleuze and the thinkers that followed play a leading role.

Toda folha escuta e dança – fragmentos de vegetalidades em contradomesticação
Authors: Lito Barbara
Published: September 2024

Os seres vegetais comunicam e interagem atendendo a meios heterogêneos que fogem aos fundamentos clássicos da comunicação ocidental. No caso humano-vegetal, é evidente a possibilidade de contrarrespostas por parte das plantas, já que sua ação também modifica os  humanos ao longo dos milênios. Por meio das vegetalidades provenientes da cognição vegetal (ou biossemiótica), as plantas se firmam como corpos, capazes de agência e afeto, em  processos que envolvem também fortes componentes estéticos. O presente artigo traz perspectivas acerca das relações humanos/plantas no campo das epistemologias dissidentes e das artes. 
Palavras-chave: Vegetalidades. Performance. Corpo. Fitomorfismo.
AbstractPlant communicate and interact using heterogeneous means, which deviate from the classical foundations of Western communication. In the human-plant case, the possibility of counter-responses on part of plants is evident, since their affection and agency also change humans over  the millennia. Through vegetalities originating from vegetal cognition (or biosemiotics), plants establish themselves as bodies capable of personality and affection, in a process with the presence of strong aesthetic components. The current article offers some perspectives on human/plant relations in the field of dissident epistemologies and arts.

O corpo é o chão da experiência: tessituras entre o ritmo mechonniciano e as poéticas do sertão
Authors: Penachio Renata Mocelin
Published: September 2024

No presente artigo elaboro, concomitantemente a uma dialética da relação, algumas reflexões em deriva que me permitem meditar sobre as complexidades e problemáticas do Antropoceno. São questões que surgem a partir de minha pesquisa de doutorado que consiste no  esmiuçar a poética dos cantos de trabalho no sertão norte de Minas Gerais. É a partir dessa ideia central de investigação que encontro as poéticas do chão, lugar em que a linguagem- vegetal do sertanejo permeia a terra ecoliricamente, reproduzindo na dinâmica cotidiana o ritmo do trabalho como ritmo em si. Assim, os cantos configuram o instrumento que fia a relação entre o corpo e o chão. Na geopoética sertaneja, a natureza se mostra para não ser apenas um elemento passivo às ações humanas: ela também é agente e emissora. O chão do sertão é o condutor de um todo em que não há fora, apenas entre. Os cantos de trabalho são a resistência sertaneja que, como refúgio espiritual, se fundem em arte e contrafeitiço decolonial, descentralizando o ente para centralizar a relação: modos de um sertão que artesaneia junto da terra as suas inesgotáveis formas de vida. 
Palavras-chave: Antropoceno. Sertão. Minas Gerais. Cantos de trabalho. Ritmo. Meschonnic. Poéticas do chão. Ecocrítica.
Abstract
In this article, I formulate some drifting thoughts alongside a dialetics of relation that allow me to meditate around problems and complexities of the Anthropocene. These are questions that emerge from my doctorate research, focused in scrutinizing the poetics of labour chantings  in north sertão of Minas Gerais. Departuring from this core investigation, I find the poetics of the ground, where the vegetable-language of the sertanejo revolves the soil ecolyrically, reproducing in everyday dynamics the rhythm of labour as rhythm itself. By this way, the chantings are an instrument that weaves the relation between body and soil. In sertanejo geopoetics, nature shows itself in order to be not only a passive element to human actions: it is also a doer and a sender. Sertão's ground is the conductor of a whole where there is no outside, only between. Labour chantings are sertanejo resistency as a spiritual refuge, merging art and decolonial counterspell, decentralizing the being in order to centralize the relation: ways of a sertão that crafts with the soil its inexhaustible forms of life.
Keywords: Anthropocene. Sertão. Minas Gerais. Labour chantings. Rhythm. Meschonnic. Poetics of the ground. Ecocritics.

The study was carried out to investigate mushroom production by small-scale farmers as an approach to economic empowerment and reducing hunger among rural households in North Central Nigeria. The study used 389 respondents sampled through multi-stage sampling technique from three States and the Federal Capital Territory. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Binary logit regression model and Binomial test) were used to analyse the data. Results showed that the majority of the respondents were males (59.13%), married (53.47%), with the average age of 37.37 years, a mean household size of five persons and a mean educational level of 14years. They were mostly into farming (32.90%) and at full- time level (77.63%). The farmers earned an average annual income of N360,539.85 and N426,092.55 before and after adding mushroom to their farming activities and were satisfied with the proceeds from mushroom production. Strategies such as establishing and participating in cooperative groups (mean = 3.55), development of improved mushroom growing materials (mean = 3.40) and extension agents training of farmers on input use for mushroom production (mean = 3.30) were advocated to increase mushroom production. Socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, age, educational level, household size and farm status positively influence the income earned by farmers from mushroom production. It is recommended that there is need for a robust extension programme to be carried out on farmers training on the use of inputs.

Domestic violence against women in agricultural households presents a multifaceted challenge affecting both the individuals involved and broader agricultural productivity. The objective of the study was to; describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents; examine the nature of domestic violence prevalent in the study area; identify the causes of domestic violence and determine the level of participation of women in farming activities; and examine the effect of domestic violence on women farming activities in the study area. Multi-stage sampling and random sampling techniques were used to select 180 respondents for the study. The primary data obtained using a well-structured questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a three-point Likert scale. The result showed that reveals that the majority (56.7%) of the respondents were between the age range of 26 – 45 years, 86.7% were married and all the respondents had some form of formal education. Further investigation revealed that physical violence, sexual violence, emotional violence, economic violence, and psychological violence were prevalent in the study area. The farming activities participated by women included planting, harvesting, land clearing, bush burning, processing, irrigation, decision making, farm labor, marketing, farm groups, extension activities, family discussions, and farm programs. This violence significantly impacts women's ability to engage effectively in farming activities, leading to reduced income, loss of assets, and diminished productivity. The major effects of violence on farming activities of the respondents in the study area were reduced income, lack of strength to continue with farming activities, lack of concentration on farming activities, reduced time devoted to farming activities, and loss of ownership of farm or asset. Based on the findings, to reduce the ugly incidence of domestic violence against women in the study area, there is a need to mandate law enforcement agencies by the government to arrest and prosecute perpetrators of domestic violence against women in the study area, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions to address domestic violence against women in agricultural households, promoting gender equality, women's empowerment, and agricultural development for food security and economic prosperity.

Authors:   Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, National Open University of Nigeria, Nwandu Peter Ifeanyichukwu
Published: September 2024

The study assessed rural household participation in conservation of vanishing rainforest in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample of 270 households were selected through multistage random sampling techniques. Data was collected with a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The regression estimates of socio-economic determinants to participation in rainforest conservation showed that the coefficients and t-values (in parenthesis) of age 0.042 (0.707) was positive and significant at 10%. It implied that the youths and elderly can participate in conservation programmes when involved. Educational status 0.075 (2.861), forest association membership 0.057 (1.045), and land ownership 0.244 (2.104) were positive and significant at 0.05 while engagement in forest activities 0.665 (-.319) and forest income 0.735 (-3.198) were negative and significant at 0.05. Exclusion from making forest policies and neglect of indigenous knowledge of rural communities were the major constraints to rural household participation in rainforest conservation. Recommendations include education and enlightenment to change the orientation of rural households toward rainforest conservation; rural households should be involved in every plan to restore the rainforest since they are the major culprits of deforestation activities.

This study assessed the effectiveness of extension services, among arable crop farmers in Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The specific objectives included the determination of the socio-economic characteristics of the arable crop farmers, identifying the farmers' sources of information on improved arable crop production, determination of the farm practices adopted by the arable crop farmers; and identification of factors which limit effective adoption of agricultural extension services towards the improvement of practices by arable crop farmers. Data were obtained from primary sources. A random sampling technique was used in the selection of farmers. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for analysis. Findings had it that 16.7 percent of the respondents were less than 20 years, and the mean age was 42. Also, 34.2 percent of the respondents were male while 65.8 percent were female. Again, 8.3 percent of the respondents had no formal education, 32.5 percent attended primary school, and most of the respondents were literates as shown by 50percent that had attended secondary school, 9.2 percents attended tertiary. The available information sources to the farmers in the study area were, radio and television with mean score of 3.0 each, neighbours 2.80, co farmers (3.0), cooperative meetings and extension agents with mean scores of 2.0 each. Above all, internet and town hall meetings were not available for the farmers. The adopted practices by farmers in the study area were, regular weeding (3.5), proper harvesting (3.3), mixed Cropping (3.2), mulching (3.1), bush fallowing (3.1), sole (2.9), mixed farming (2.7) and regular pest and diseases control (2.7). The services rendered by the extension agents in the study area was moderately effectiveness. The constraints faced by the farmers were marketing challenges, lack of coordination among agents, poor infrastructure, inadequate and irregular funding, inadequate and poor quality of staff, poor targeting of vulnerable groups and top-down approach. From the afore-going, it is pertinent to recommend that, farmers should be encouraged through adequate training, with increased incentives to extension agents, coupled with budgetary supervisions to ensure effective extension service delivery to the arable crop farmers in the study area.

Unlocking Productivity in Green Supply Chain Management
Authors: Yapa Saman
Published: September 2024

Businesses are reevaluating supply chain management strategies in response to the dual challenges of minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing growth. Green supply chain management (GSCM) has emerged as a solution for this challenge. The P-Insights report Unlocking Productivity in Green Supply Chain Management by Dr. Saman Yapa, Professor of Decision Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenpura, Sri Lanka, explains the basics of GSCM using the examples of global giants Ikea and Nike as well as of smaller businesses in Asia. The examples and advice given are relevant to business leaders, consumers, and communities. Executives can follow the GSCM methods for green transformation, consumers of all ages are encouraged to examine green claims to avoid the “greenwashing” trap, and options are suggested for community-wide efforts. Even well-intentioned green initiatives may have unintended negative effects on the environment, and Dr. Yapa points out that the overall benefits of GSCM efforts must be considered in evaluating their effectiveness, contributions to a healthier planet, and increasing productivity and economic prosperity.
A neural network model for point defect microcavities of two-dimensional GaAs media background photonic crystals
Authors: Fan Lihao
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to address the challenge of constructing, training, and optimizing a neural network model for the point defect microcavity of a two-dimensional GaAs media background photonic crystal. The objective is to achieve more accurate predictions and analyses of photon modes, thereby enhancing the performance of the microcavity. Due to the structural complexity and multi-parameter nature of point defect microcavities, traditional analysis methods often fail to capture their optical behavior adequately. Consequently, there is a need for a novel approach to establishing an optical model for point defect microcavities, enabling precise predictions of their optical properties and optimal design. In this study, the MPB computing tool developed by MIT, in conjunction with the programming language Scheme, MATLAB, and the Ubuntu virtual machine platform, was utilized for data acquisition. The neural network model was employed to process the input data of the photonic crystal point defect microcavity, leading to predictions and analyses. This interdisciplinary approach results in a high-precision model of the microcavity. The neural network model is capable of nonlinear mapping and prediction by learning the patterns and features of the data. Additionally, this combination holds the promise of enabling more efficient optical information processing and increased data transfer rates. The relationship between the energy band data and the structure of photonic crystals exhibits a high degree of nonlinearity. The neural network model proposed in this paper can infer the structure of photonic crystals based on the photon energy band (dispersion relation ω-K) of micro-cavity structures with point defects in different photonic crystals. This provides a valuable reference for more accurate predictions and analyses of photon modes in complex photonic crystal micro-cavities, ultimately leading to improved micro-cavity performance.
Wywlekanie na wierzch brzydkich uczuć i zdradliwość obietnicy szczęścia
Authors: Ciesielczyk Patryk
Published: September 2024

This article is a polemic with two literary texts, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace. From among the metafictional devices, a concrete poetics of therapeutic discourse emerges. An analysis of the ways in which the experience of depression is thematized will be facilitated by defining Sianne Ngai’s characterization of “ugly feelings” and by noting that the whole process of discursivization is driven by what Sara Ahmed calls the promise of happiness. A critical look will expose some fixed elements of these poetics and outline the frame in which they operate. Key-words: depression, happiness, ugly feelings, sadness, therapeutic discourse
Szczeliny wiejskiego pożądania – queerowa widmowość: wiśnie i mech
Authors: Aderek Anna
Published: September 2024

This article aims to analyze queer spectrality in rural areas in Zyta Oryszyn’s novel Najada (1970) and in Olga Tokarczuk’s Empuzjon (2022). In both novels, the specters of women who have experienced violence become midwives of queer identities. The haunting does not evoke an affectation of horror, but of solace – it becomes a crack in which the non-heteronormative protagonists experience respite; it is an allied haunting. Referring to the sociological imagination of Avery F. Gordon, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s queer theory and Terry Castle’s concept of the apparitional lesbian, the author distinguishes between two types of queer spectrality. Key-words: queer, rurality, spectrality, hauntology, Zyta Oryszyn, Olga Tokarczuk

Published: September 2024

This study aims to understand legal protection for consumers in Padang City to establish a model for consumer protection practices in Indonesia. The research employs a normative descriptive qualitative method, focusing on business operators and consumers of traditional Minang products, with data collected through interviews. The study reveals that legal protection for consumers concerning halal labels on Minang food is stipulated in Law No. 08 of 1999. Several reasons contribute to producers not including halal labels: high processing costs, lack of awareness about the importance of halal certification, and consumers' inherent trust in authentic Minang producers, even if the shop lacks halal certification. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) asserts that Muslim-owned businesses should pursue halal certification regardless of the owner's religion.
