Socio-cultural Status of Widows: A Case Study of Myanglung Municipality Ward No. 1 and 2 Tehrathum District
Authors: Lamichhane Uddhau Kumar
Published: September 2024

This study highlights the challenges faced by Nepalese widows and the need for greater support and understanding from society. The study was limited to Myanglung Municipality Ward No.1 and 2 within 30 widows of major religious group Buddhism and Hinduism. The negative perception of widows in Nepalese society makes it difficult for women, and the death of a husband brings about significant behavior changes in women, with many becoming aggressive and depressed. The study found that a significant percentage of Nepalese women become widows at a young age, with 73% of women marrying in or around their teenage years. Men tend to die sooner than women. The study used snowball sampling to reach the respondents, and the total sample size from different parts of Myanglung Municipality Ward No.1 and 2 was 30 respondents from Buddhist and Hindus for formal and informal talks with key informants and focus group discussions to perform qualitative research. The study also found that there is hardly any study and research carried out related to widowhood in the Nepalese context, and there were limited materials related to the socio-cultural status of widows available.

Authors: Shah Debi Kumari
Published: September 2024

Chhaupadi, the restrictions of menstruating women and girls in Nepal. It is a harmful practice with severe consequences for their health, safety, and dignity. It is a detrimental practice that seriously jeopardizes their safety, dignity, and well-being. This paper explores the multifaceted nature of Chhaupadi, examining the religious justifications used to defend it, alongside the arguments of critics who condemn it as a violation of human rights and a public health crisis. By analyzing perspectives from proponents and opponents, the paper highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to eradicate Chhaupadi. This includes demolishing  harmful myths about menstruation, promoting menstrual hygiene education, empowering women and girls and addressing the underlying gender inequality within Nepali society. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating the voices of Chhaupadi victims and prioritizing their well-being in the fight for a future free from this discriminatory practice.

Authors: Karki Pooja , Dahal Tulasha
Published: September 2024

Adolescence typically describes the years between ages 10 to 19 and is considered to be critical transitional stage from childhood to adulthood characterized by onset of puberty. Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery which contributes adolescents to unfavorable attitude and suffer from anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, etc. The main objective of the study is to assess knowledge and attitude on pubertal changes among adolescents.
A descriptive cross sectional study design was used. Non-probability purposive sampling method was used to select setting  whereas simple random lottery method was adopted to select 1 section from each grade and total enumeration method was used to select the sample where 139 adolescents studying grade 8,9 and 10. Data was collected by self-administer semi-structure questionnaire method. Analysis of data was done using SPSS16 version and descriptive statistics mean, median, standard deviation, frequency, percentage and chi-square test was used to find the association between dependent and independent variables
The findings of the study revealed that (64.7%) adolescents give correct meaning about puberty, 28.8 % adolescents had knowledge about reason of pubertal change is due to sex hormones and 78.45% of adolescents had knowledge that menstruation is regular monthly bleeding from vagina. Regarding level of knowledge42.4% of the respondents had below average level of knowledge whereas only (7.2%) had very good knowledge regarding pubertal changes. Similarly, majority of the respondents (96.4%) moderately favorable attitude and only (2.9%) had unfavorable attitude towards pubertal changes.
Vocabulary in Textbooks: Issues of Selection and Instruction
Authors: Poudel T. N. , Kattel Achut Raj
Published: September 2024

Actually, this study initiated with one of the research questions: what criteria or bases there are to be applied for selecting vocabulary to mention in textbooks for instruction. And very interestingly, if not surprisingly, the study reached the conclusion that textbooks in themselves are one of the criteria for vocabulary selection. Rather than reviewing vocabulary instruction methodology, a comprehensive approach to factors aligned to vocabulary instruction is another major concern of the study. And it is found that the conventional understanding of vocabulary instruction as instruction merely on semanticity alone is partial. The role of mental lexicon, metrical stress, spaced frequency and many such subtle issues over vocabulary instruction are crucial. The terminologies 'The world of a word' and 'The word of the world', as well as the concept under 'Framework for word understanding' deserve nobility. Though it was not possible to cover all that in this study, yet, it gives way to develop memory architecture for vocabulary study as a branching issue for another study.

Tendón de Aquiles anatomía e insuficiencia
Authors: Rodriguez Ciodaro Ricardo , Chaustre Florez Juan Fernando , Buriticá Sandoval Sebastián Armando , Niño Latorre Nicolas
Published: September 2024

Introduction: the main aspects of Achilles tendon (AT) insufficiency were determined through the review of classic texts and current literature on the topic, to acquire the various conceptual and therapeutic tools in clinical practice. Methodology: we used the PubMed, Clinical Key, Embase, Cochrane and Lilacs search engines, including references in Spanish and English published between 1980 and 2020. Articles were reviewed using the CONSORT, STROBE or PRISMA guidelines, as appropriate. Results: 30 articles directly related to the topic were selected. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews, prospective and observational studies, and narrative reviews were included. Discussion: there is a wide spectrum of intrinsic and extrinsic predisposing risk factors for the development of AT insufficiency, but its etiology remains unclear.  The mainstay treatment for tendinopathies in general, is rehabilitation provided by trained personnel. The surgical approach, by percutaneous or open surgical release techniques, is reserved for cases in which conservative approaches fail. Nonsurgical treatment for ruptured AT has shown excellent outcomes if patients undergo a strict rehabilitation process following diagnosis, however, in our socioeconomic context, tendon repair surgery continues to be a first-line therapeutic pillar. Conclusion: this review provides basic concepts and their correlation with biomechanics, indispensable for an early diagnosis and successful treatment.
Liposarcoma del cordón espermático
Authors: Reyna Villasmil Eduardo
Published: September 2024

Introduction: liposarcoma of the spermatic cord (LSC) is a rare condition and accounts for about 3 to 7% of all paratesticular sarcomas. A case is presented in an 80-year-old patient who consulted for a left inguinoscrotal painless swelling, that had been present for several years. Physical examination revealed a soft left hemiscrotal tumor that appeared not to be adherent to the testicle. Ultrasonography showed a solid, heterogeneous hyperschoic paratesticular mass with central calcifications and peripheral hypervascularity. During surgery, a diffuse lipomatous tumor was found in the spermatic cord on the superior pole of the left testicle, separated from it. Anatomopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. Discussion: this neoplasm features a slow-growing palpable paratesticular mass. This site of occurrence is rare and represents 7 to 10% of all scrotal tumors. Imaging differentiation between LSC and benign lesions is sometimes challenging. Surgical treatment should include radical orchiectomy wide local excision, and spermatic cord and inguinal ring surrounding soft tissue resection. Conclusion: spermatic cord liposarcoma is a rare and unusual mesenchymal tumor and should be considered among the differential diagnoses of scrotal tumors.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: urinary tract infection (UTI) is the second cause of bacterial infection in children, generates high costs for the health system, may be the first manifestation of urinary tract anomalies and is a risk factor for multiple pathologies. Objective: to characterize the epidemiological and microbiological profile of the first UTI episode in the pediatric population of a referral center in Pereira, Colombia. Methods: a cross-sectional study, conducted during 2016- 2017, including patients aged 2 months to 10 years, with their first UTI episode, based on the American Academy of Pediatrics criteria. Bacterial resistance was defined using current CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines. Descriptive statistics and STROBE guidelines were used for reporting this study results. Results: 81 patients were included, 28% were males, most were aged 2 to 12 months (40%), 49% were nitrite-positive, 39% had hematuria and 37% proteinuria, and 87% had a positive Gram stain. Ultrasound imaging revealed urinary tract anomalies in 18%; the most common uropathogens were: Escherichia coli (86%), Proteus mirabilis (5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5%). E. coli showed resistance for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin-sulbactam and cephalothin in 51.4%, 32.8% and 17.1%, respectively; 2.8% were extended-spectrum betalactamase/ESBL-positive. The median time of empiric management was 3 days and full treatment was of 10 days. Discussion: high resistance rates were recorded for ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which discourage their use. The sensitivity of E coli to cephalothin and amikacin, reported in this study, favors their use as first empirical therapeutic choices in our setting. Conclusion: ultrasound examination of the urinary tract is recommended in patients experiencing their first febrile UTI episode, due to the high prevalence of urinary anomalies identified.

Menakar Kualitas Komunikasi CSR Eksplisit Perusahaan Bursa Efek Indonesia
Authors: Irchamsyah Dicky , Rusfian Effy Zalfiana
Published: September 2024

Salah satu tema penting dalam komunikasi CSR adalah bagaimana perusahaan dapat memperoleh keuntungan maksimal dengan mengkomunikasikan CSR yang mereka selenggarakan secara tepat. Berbagai studi telah menunjukkan kalau bagaimana CSR dapat berdampak positif pada perusahaan ditentukan salah satunya dengan bagaimana aktivitas tersebut dikomunikasikan secara eksplisit pada para pemangku kepentingan. Pengungkapan CSR justru akan berpengaruh negatif pada citra perusahaan jika perusahaan menjabarkan aktivitas CSR secara berlebihan walaupun hanya sedikit menyelenggarakan CSR. Penelitian ini meninjau literatur komunikasi CSR untuk merumuskan sejumlah indikator kualitas komunikasi. Selanjutnya, indikator ini diterapkan untuk menakar kualitas komunikasi CSR eksplisit yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan-perusahaan yang terdaftar dalam Bursa Efek Indonesia. Data diperoleh dari laporan tahunan perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi. Sampel terdiri dari 43 perusahaan dari berbagai bidang. Ditemukan bahwa secara umum, perusahaan tua cenderung lebih intensif dalam menyelenggarakan CSR dan lebih antusias dalam mengungkapkannya. Perusahaan sektor keuangan, infrastruktur, dan barang konsumen primer paling banyak memvisualisasikan dan merinci CSR walaupun masih cenderung rasional ketimbang emosional. Narasi pada semua jenis perusahaan dan berapapun saham mayoritas cenderung retoris, menandakan bahwa CSR masih dianggap kurang mampu menarik perhatian investor sehingga tidak dikomunikasikan dengan serius dan bahkan dipinggirkan dalam narasi laporan tahunan. Keberadaan laporan keberlanjutan yang diwajibkan untuk disertakan tidak meningkatkan komunikasi CSR karena banyak perusahaan hanya menyelenggarakan sedikit kegiatan CSR.
Do Adverse Childhood Experiences Impact Adult Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Functioning among Individuals Convicted of Sexual Offences? Implications for Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention
Authors: Hamilton Kate , Dooley Kristen , Sihota Manvir , Marriott Brian
Published: September 2024

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-known risk factors for poor physical and mental health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between ACEs and self-report measures of emotional regulation and interpersonal functioning among a sample of individuals provincially incarcerated for sexual offending. In total, 112 males participating in an in-custody sexual offender treatment program completed the study measures. Two-stage hierarchical linear regression was used to examine the association between cumulative ACE scores and each self-report measure. Individual ACE item impacts were also explored using two-stage hierarchical regression. Higher cumulative ACE scores were associated with greater emotional dysregulation and multiple indices of interpersonal dysfunction. Several ACE items were consistently associated with greater emotional and interpersonal difficulties. The findings have clinical implications for sexual offender assessment, treatment, and prevention. Specifically, the findings support a growing movement towards trauma-informed practice, incorporating attachment theory and intimacy-based interventions, and promoting empirically supported interventions for cultivating emotional self-regulation.
Osmotic demyelination syndrome refractory to plasmapheresis treated with botulinum toxin injections: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Bendayan Solomon , Bendayan Joshua , Cohen Yossi , Aintabi Daniel , de Marchie Michel
Published: September 2024

This case study presents a method for treating osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS), a rare complication resulting from the rapid correction of severe chronic hyponatremia. The report highlights the use of intramuscular botulinum toxin injections as a treatment for spasticity in ODS. The case describes a 40-year-old male with a history of panhypopituitarism, presenting with acute encephalopathy, nausea, and vomiting. Initial workup revealed severe hyponatremia, and despite initial clinical improvement with correction of the hyponatremia the patient's condition ultimately progressed to flaccid quadriparesis and spastic quadriparesis. The patient received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and plasma exchange therapy (PLEX), but his symptoms worsened. The patient then received intramuscular botulinum toxin injections to target spasticity in the lower extremities, and experienced significant improvement, including reduced spasticity, and regained the ability to ambulate with assistance. This case study highlights the rarity and complexity of ODS, emphasizing the limited treatment options available. PLEX has been commonly used but many patients do not respond well to it. Intramuscular botulinum toxin injections in this case demonstrate potential benefits in managing ODS-related spasticity that is unresponsive to PLEX alone.

Published: September 2024

Several studies have compared scores of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms on medical multiple-choice questions (MCQs) with reference standards. In this study, the authors directly compared scores of an AI algorithm (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 [GPT-4]) with those of clinicians. A stratified random sample of 600 Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program-19 (MKSAP) MCQs were inputted into GPT-4. The proportion of questions answered correctly was compared with the answer selected by the majority of the MKSAP clinician testing group (consensus clinicians) and the proportion of the MKSAP clinician testing group who selected the correct answer (average clinician). GPT-4 answered 496 questions correctly (82.7%, 95% CI 79.6 to 85.7). This was significantly less than the consensus clinician (88.0%, 95% CI 85.4 to 90.6; McNemar's T statistic 10.0, P = 0.0015) but was significantly greater than the average clinician (64.7%, 95% CI 63.1 to 66.3; paired T statistic = 12.7, P < .0001). Results did not significantly vary by specialty. GPT-4 scored significantly lower than the consensus clinicians, but significantly greater than the average clinician, on MKSAP MCQs.

Эта книга является переизданием 1993 года и публикуется по сохранившимся рукописям д.б.н., д.м.н. профессора Игоря Владимировича Пронина. В конце 1980-х – начале 1990-х И.В. Пронин, участвовавший в создании Российского корпуса спасателей, разработал новую методику «Медицина сопровождения в экстремальных ситуациях». Для гражданских лиц эта система, основанная на стыке микробиологии, альгологии и фитотерапии, стала называться альфитерапией. Изначально метод был предназначен для спецподразделений, действующих в операциях по спасению во время техногенных катастроф, а также катастроф, вызванных природными катаклизмами. Альфитерапия представляет собой метод сбалансированного питания растительного происхождения с биологически активными веществами лекарственных растений, водорослей, микроорганизмов за счет комбинации эфирных масел и действующих веществ в высоких концентрациях. В состав сбалансированного питания по методу альфитерапии входит живая бактерицидная среда, во много раз превышающая лечебные возможности препаратов химического происхождения. Альфитерапия является самым сильным методом лечения в традиционной медицине во всех направлениях. На практике применение альфипрепаратов поднимало самых тяжелых больных, когда традиционная медицина была бессильна.
APITHERAPY AND APPLICATIONS IN VETERINARY MEDICINE

The use of bees and bee products for therapeutic purposes in human and veterinary medicine is called apitherapy. Natural products have been used throughout human history to protect against and treat diseases. In recent years, the emergence of drug resistance and the occurrence of adverse effects associated with the indiscriminate and irregular use of pharmacological agents have prompted humanity to pursue alternative solutions. One of the most significant solutions is the administration of bee products. The use of bee products in apitherapy applications includes honey, bee venom, pollen, propolis, beeswax, royal jelly, perga and apilarnil (bee larvae). In general, apitherapy products with a wide range of indications are widely used in various system diseases and some dermatologic problems and various effects of these products such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and immunomodulatory effects in vitro and in vivo have been investigated in many different studies. Apitherapy is less common in veterinary practice than in human medicine. Additionally, bee products are employed in the treatment of other animal diseases, including gastrointestinal disorders, otitis, sinusitis, ophthalmic conditions, dermatological disorders, and skin care. Additionally, bee products are employed as food supplements for animals. The most prevalent additive in animal food is bee pollen. It has been demonstrated to promote growth, reduce mortality and prevent morbidity. Apitherapy has gained importance in the field of veterinary medicine in recent years in order to prevent both human health and economic losses, especially in the treatment of animals consumed as food.

The experimental dependence of the fraction of nano-sized modification of silicon in thin films obtained by magnetron sputtering on the main technological indicators of the process - specific power on the target, pressure in the working chamber, pulsation frequency of the voltage supplied to the target - has been studied. The data was processed using the method of multiple correlation-regression analysis and a corresponding mathematical model was obtained that describes the experimental dependence. It has been established that the specific power at the target does not significantly affect the fraction of nanosilicon in the film. The voltage frequency on the target has only a positive effect and is therefore limited only by the technical capabilities of the sputtering equipment. The pressure in the working chamber has an optimal value because in the mathematical model for this factor there are both positive and negative coefficients. When analyzing the model by calculation, it was found that the largest proportion of nanosilicon in the film, 75.06%, is achieved at a voltage frequency on the target of 100 Hz and pressure in the working chamber of 1.9 Pa. These data are preliminary due to the limited number of experiments.

Silicon is an essential chemical element that plays a very important role in life support on our planet. There is no single area of life on Earth where this most common chemical element is not present; its content is 27-30% of the mass of the Earth's crust. The most common form of its presence in the earth's crust is silicon dioxide, that is, silica. Silica is the main raw material source for semiconductor silicon for modern electrical engineering (production of diodes, transistors, photocells, and integrated circuits). Silicon is widely used in special materials science (alloying special steels, refining melts, and producing aluminum-silicon alloys (silumins). Reducing the cost of high-purity silicon can be achieved by reducing the temperature of the refining process of technical silicon. This scientific work examines the implementation of refining silicon in eutectic silicon melts with aluminum. Crystallization of silicon in hypereutectic melts below the liquidus temperature of the Si-Al phase equilibrium system occurs through the formation of silicon crystallization nuclei from clusters on the surface of the crystallizer - electrodes (rods) made of silicon with a temperature, which is below the temperature of the hypereutectic melt liquidus. The article describes methods for obtaining high-purity silicon and provides scientific justification for the implementation of such a task. The proposed method for producing high-purity silicon has so far been little studied and is of scientific and economic interest, since it can be carried out at relatively low temperatures, for example below 900°C. An important feature of eutectic melts is the stoichiometric content of components, which was the reason for the assumption of the molecular structure of eutectic melts. Eutectic molecules are, in our opinion, compounds of silicon and aluminum clusters.

The paper presents the theoretical basis and results of processing a mixture of complex types and compositions, based on lead cake, obtained after the preliminary removal of arsenic from dust and its subsequent leaching with sulfuric acid. The main goal of the technology is to involve the processing of substandard intermediate products of lead production together with lead cake and the selective extraction of non-ferrous metals into commercial products: copper into matte; lead - into rough lead: zinc - into slag. Choice of the composition of the feed charge was carried out taking into account the volumes obtained in production and is represented by the following structure, %: lead cake - 50; copper-lead matte – 40; quartz flux – 10. It has been established that the best results, ensuring high complex extraction of copper, lead, zinc and arsenic into the targeted smelting products, are achieved with a consumption of natural gas 1.4 times higher than its consumption from the stoichiometric required quantity (SRQ) for the reduction of lead compounds to metal lead. The optimal time for blowing the melt with natural gas is 15 minutes. The optimal oxygen consumption when blowing the intermediate matte obtained after the first stage was 1.1 times higher than its stoichiometric required amount (SRQ) for the oxidation of zinc and iron sulfide with their further transfer in the form of oxides to slag. The duration of matte blowing is 10 minutes. With the optimal established parameters, high technological indicators of the technology were achieved: extraction of lead into rough lead - 98.6%; copper in matte – 98.5%; zinc in slag – 94.1%.

Abstract. The aim of this work was to study the features of spontaneous apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with bronchial asthma (BA) with comorbid pathology of the digestive organs (PDO). Materials and methods. In each analysis group, the results of the studies of 56 patients with BA were selected, 28 patients in each group (with and without comorbid PDO). The control group was formed from 11 volunteers — persons without clinical signs of infectious and somatic pathology (conditionally healthy). Spontaneous apoptosis of lymphocytes was determined by flow cytofluorimetry after staining with annexin 5 (An-5) conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITS). Results. The results of the analysis of the follow-up studies confirmed the negative impact of comorbid PDO on the spontaneous apoptosis of lymphocytes in patients with asthma. In the group of patients with comorbid PDO was significantly (by 85.5 %) decrease in the number of lymphocytes with signs of early and by 80.5 % late apoptosis of the lymphocytes (p < 0.05), in an important majority of patients. The average value of this indicator did not exceed the reference values in the group of patients with BA without PDO. The frequency of decreased apoptosis of lymphocytes did not exceed the reference values. The frequency of increased spontaneous apoptosis of lymphocytes was suppressed. Patients with asthma experience prolongation of cell life, persistence of inflammation through the release of substances from these cells and a decrease in reparative processes. Increased survival of lymphocytes in blood can lead to persistence and progression of allergic inflammation airways in asthma. Therefore, the relationship between BA and PDO will require further comprehensive investigation of common immunological mechanisms, which will lead to apoptosis. This will allow to influence the control of the progression of illness, and develop targeted, effective therapeutic programs.
Introduction

Published: September 2024

This is the second instalment of a special section exploring the pedagogies—classroom and otherwise—associated with mobilities scholarship. As we discussed in the previous introduction (Transfers 13.1/2), the collocation of mobility and pedagogy is by no means a one-way street when it comes to innovation since, in several instances, novel theories and methodologies have emerged directly out of classroom teaching rather than the other way around.1 This dynamic was apparent in the discussions that took place at the first-ever conference dedicated to mobility pedagogy, which took place at Waterloo University, Canada, in 2018 (see Nicholson, 13.1), and is evidenced here in several articles across the two issues.2 As we discussed previously, the field's reputation for innovative methodologies is often the link between research and teaching, and the variety of applications continues to grow. In this special section introduction, we have therefore taken the opportunity to reflect upon some possible new directions for mobilities and pedagogy that take account of not only topical theoretical and political debates but also the pedagogic practices that may, themselves, inspire new research and “real-world” applications. In particular, we share some reflections on the way in which the concept of mobility justice, as first advanced by Mimi Sheller in 2018, lends a new dimension to mobility pedagogies and connects with research and teaching on social justice more broadly.3
Video-Making as a Mobilities Pedagogy
Authors: Rabbiosi Chiara
Published: September 2024

This article adopts an “engaged pedagogy” inspired by feminist thinking to revisit reflections concerning inquiries undertaken into mobilities that incorporate video-making. Moving from a human geographic perspective, the article focuses on several aspects developed in the course unit the author teaches on space, place, and mobility. In the proposed pedagogy, video-making allows learners to focus on mobilities as central to our understanding of contemporary social and spatial dynamics, as well as raising awareness of mobile spatial embodiments and their critical entanglement with ordinary encounters. Video-making engages students in deconstructing the inequalities that affect mobilities explicating issues of social class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability. In addition, it allows learners to experiment with strategies and tools that support communication on the move, which are increasingly ordinary. In conclusion, the article suggests that if a mobilities scholarship were to embrace the “engaged” pedagogic potential of video-making, this should be understood as a constituent within the wider politics of mobilities.
