Published: July 2023

This paper aims to explain the social construction of family roles in migrant workers’ income management. Many migrant worker families are unable to manage their income correctly. This social construction would affect the community by giving negative stigma to the families of migrant workers. This research was conducted using a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The subjects were selected based on proportional sampling, namely people who live close to the families of migrant workers, extended families of migrant workers, and community leaders. The results of this study indicate that, in reality, some couples of migrant worker families can manage their income well, resulting in the income of migrant workers that does not have a meaningful impact on the family. The findings of this study contribute to developing a theory of social construction, where reality is the result of personal understanding, which is used as a shared understanding in the community. This shared understanding gives a new stigma to the reality of migrant worker families. The research limitation is that the data used are only obtained from subject interview data and case observations in the field, so the research findings limitedly describe the study of social construction in general. Future research that can be conducted based on this finding is investigating the effect of poor income management on the increasing migrant workers’ family disharmony.

Published: July 2023

During COVID pandemic, with schools being closed, digital platforms are being extensively used for online teaching and learning. Children are being exposed to video display units (VDU) for prolonged durations making them susceptible to ocular problems and development of the Computer Vision Syndrome. Through this study, we attempted to study the effect of this added use of VDUs through online teaching on eyes of school going children.

A Google survey of 18 questions was prepared assessing the pattern of online teaching sessions, type of devices used, use of protective accessories and presence of ocular symptoms. The form was floated on social platforms for parents of school going children. Data was collected and analysed using Microsoft Excel and percentage and p value calculated using chi square test.

Out of 982 children, 494 (50.3%) had one or more ocular symptoms. Headache was found in 205(41.49%), excessive rubbing of eyes in 178 (36.03%), pain in 155 (31.37%), redness in 135 (27.32%), watering in 132 (26.72%), blurring of vision in 67 (13.56%) and changes in glass prescription in 42 (8.50%) children. We found total duration of online class and continuous use of VDUs to be statistically significant influencing factors.

Online teaching learning should be cautiously conducted as the use of VDUs can affect the ocular health of the children.
Can long standing affect arches of foot: A cross-sectional study between bus conductors and bank employees
Authors: Mallashetty Nagaraj , Itagi Veeresh , Pattar Gururaj
Published: July 2023

Arches of foot are curvatures found on the plantar surface of the human foot. The presence of these arches is a distinct feature of human feet. They are formed because of the wedge shape of bones and are supported and maintained by the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, along with the ligaments in the sole of the foot. They are present right from the time of birth. These arches play a major role in bearing the weight of the body. They also act as shock absorbers, especially while jumping, and they provide protection to the soft tissue of the sole against pressure.

The objective of present study is to know the effects of long-standing hours on height of arch of foot, by comparing arch index and arch angles of bus conductors, who stand for long hours with that of bank employees who relatively sit for long hours in their duty time. To compare the Stahelis plantar arch index between bus conductors and bank employees. To compare arch angle between bus conductors and bank employees.

: Materials required for taking foot prints include ink pad, graph Sheet. Materials required for calculating stahelis arch index and arch index are measuring scale, protractor, ink pad, ink bottle, graph paper and compass. The subjects to be studied are 50 bus conductors and 50 bank employees within the age group of 35-55 years, who have been in service for a minimum period of 10 years.

Measuring of plantar arch index is done by Stahelis arch index and arch angle by using footprints. A plantar graph of the weightbearing surface of the feet was taken on graph papers with ink pad with the subject standing erect with feet on the ground without any support.

The mean arch index of the right feet of bus conductors and bank employees are .68 and .54 respectively, which is higher for bus conductors than bank employees. The mean arch index of the left feet of bus conductors and bank employees are .69 and .54 respectively, which is more for bus conductors than bank employees The mean arch angle of right feet of bus conductors and bank employees are 42.44 and 49.02 respectively, which is lesser for bus conductors than bankemployees, The mean arch angle of the left foot of bus conductors and bank employees are 43.52 and 48.12 respectively, which is lower for bus conductors than bank employees, by applying Mann whitney U “ P” value is found to be less than 0.05. The mean arch index is higher in bus conductors and arch angle is higher in bank employees.

From the present study it is shown that long standing hours can be associated with increase in arch index and decrease in the arch angle of foot, suggesting decrease in the arch height of foot probably due to prolonged stress of standing on architecture of arches of foot.

Published: July 2023

Background: Food insecurity is recognized as a serious public health problem worldwide. Since pregnant women are among the most vulnerable groups and their food insecurity may cause complications during pregnancy and on their newborns, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between food security and body mass index (BMI) of pregnant women in eastern Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 335 pregnant women in 10 health centers in the east of Iran. Participants were selected by random cluster sampling. Data were collected using standard questionnaires including 18-item household food security survey module (HFSSM) designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and nutritional evaluation forms.
Results: The mean scores of the HFSSM of all pregnant women were 7.2±4.3. The household food security of pregnant women was significantly related to the occupation of spouses, mother's education, monthly salary, private home, and mother's age (P<0.05). There was no significant relationship between food security and BMI (P=0.98).
Conclusions: Based on the results, few people have food security. Pregnancy in older age, lower-income, and education affected the household food security. Appropriate strategies and policies are necessary to combat this problem.

Authors: Mohseni-Takalloo Sahar , Salehi-Abargouei Amin , Ferns Gordon A. , Ghayour-Mobarhan Majid , Khayyatzadeh Sayyed Saeid
Published: July 2023

Background: Depression in adolescents is one of the major public health concerns that can affect educational attainment and social relationships and impose a high economic burden on society. Previous studies have provided limited information on the relationship between a healthy diet and depression in adolescents. The present study aimed to investigate the association of Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) with depression scores among adolescent girls.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 734 adolescent girls aged 12-18 years. Data on dietary intakes were collected using a valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and diet quality was assessed based on HEI-2015. The Iranian validated version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate depression. To explore the association between HEI-2015 and depression, logistic regression was used in crude and adjusted models.
Results: The prevalence of a high depression score in the study population was 33.8%.  After controlling for potential confounders, girls with the highest adherence to HEI-2015 compared to those with the lowest adherence had a 37% lower prevalence of depression (OR: 0.63; 95% CI 0.40 to 1.00, Ptrend=0.03). This finding remained significant after adjustment for confounding variables (age, energy intakes, physical activity, and BMI percentile).
Conclusions: Greater adherence to HEI-2015 was associated with lower odds of depression in female adolescents. Prospective studies are necessary to confirm these results and clarify whether a causal relationship exists.

Conclusions: Proximate composition, minerals, and phytochemicals make the plant valuable and a health promoting diet for communities settled in dry areas of the country. Therefore, Chaya has the potential to contribute to food and nutrition security, and health for the community suffering from malnutrition in drought prone areas.
The Colombian Financial Cycle, 1987-2021: What role for post-crisis regulation?
Authors: Forero-Laverde Germán
Published: July 2023

El ciclo financiero consiste en la evolución conjunta de los precios de activos y el crecimiento de agregados de crédito. Sus regularidades han sido ampliamente estudiadas para paneles de países que suelen incluir economías desarrolladas y, ocasionalmente, economías en desarrollo o países poco desarrollados. Este artículo implementa una metodología innovadora para analizar el ciclo financiero colombiano desde perspectivas de serie de tiempo y de análisis bivariado. En primer lugar, caracterizamos expansiones y contracciones en el mercado accionario y el tipo de cambio real. Estas dos series representan dos tipos de activos que juegan un papel esencial como reserva de valor en países de ingreso medio. Nuestro análisis se complementa con la identificación de fases de expansión y contracción en el mercado de crédito denominado en moneda local. Contrastamos la hipótesis de que los cambios en la regulación, originados por la crisis finisecular del siglo XX en el país, impactaron la evolución de los precios de los activos y de los agregados crediticios. Encontramos que la amplitud y severidad de las fases de contracción se redujeron después de las reformas, lo que puede ser indicativo del éxito del proceso regulatorio. No hallamos efecto en el comportamiento de los precios de los activos y argüimos que esto es esperable dado que esta variable no era uno de los objetivos de la nueva regulación. Finalmente, observamos que el movimiento conjunto de los mercados de acciones y de crédito llega a un máximo durante periodos de crisis y toca mínimos en periodos de expansión económica. Esto es consistente con los hallazgos en la literatura internacional.

Una de las razones por las cuales muchos países han decidido mantener regímenes de tipos de cambio fijo ha sido el miedo a la flotación cambiaria. Esta aversión proviene de la idea de que la inestabilidad monetaria afecta la capacidad de pago de un país, sobre todo si la composición de la deuda es mayoritariamente en moneda extranjera. Mientras que la literatura se ha enfocado en periodos cortos y recientes, este artículo adopta un enfoque de largo plazo, y analiza el vínculo entre las crisis de deuda y las crisis monetarias entre 1870 y 1957, en una muestra de países de América Latina. Encontramos que la poca estabilidad cambiaria tuvo efectos contrastantes sobre la frecuencia de las crisis de deuda. Mientras que en el siglo XIX el tipo de cambio tuvo efectos modestos sobre la ocurrencia de defaults, en el periodo de entreguerras el tipo de cambio no tiene ninguna incidencia sobre de la decisión de los gobiernos estudiados para hacer default. De hecho, por lo general, las frecuentes crisis de deuda en el siglo XIX no coinciden con las crisis monetarias. En ambos periodos, el nivel de deuda pública respecto al producto interno bruto (PIB) y, en cierta medida, el comportamiento de los términos de intercambio, fueron variables más importantes. Finalmente mostramos que, en el periodo posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la estabilización monetaria antecedió a las negociaciones con los bonistas de deuda mucho tiempo. Esta perspectiva de largo plazo sirve para relativizar la importancia de la estabilidad cambiaria sobre el riesgo de default.

Things Matter: A Posthuman Empirical Inquiry into the Actualization of Gender in an Advanced Placement Biology Classroom
Authors: Jeong Sophia , Buxton Cory
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate and document the conditions in which gender was actualized in a high school Advanced Placement biology classroom. The authors of this study begin with the assumption that equitable and inclusive science instruction should not reinforce or condition students into thinking about themselves as single beings with fixed identities. Rather, science instruction should support a view that students are changing beings who can become other.

We also draw on scholars of new materialisms to examine how things matter in the actualization of students’ gender. Our study traces how gender followed unpredictable lines of flight and shows what gender could become. Using these theories to explain our findings we offer a new concept for the science classroom, students’ subjectivities-in-motion.
Ripples of Becoming-With: Co-creating a Postdisciplinary Module About Posthumanism
Authors: Bates Catherine
Published: July 2023

This article provides a diffractive reading of the second-year undergraduate university module on posthumanism that I teach. The module is designed specifically for mature students. I consider the “postdisciplinary” nature of the module, and think through the ways in which the module “becomes” through co-creation with the students. This involves a discussion of Braidotti’s (2019) notion of the posthuman university, Lykke’s (2018) conception of the postdisciplinary, and Barad’s (2007) and Haraway’s (2016) imperatives to (1) think-with, and (2) be response-able within multispecies communities. Using these ideas, I consider the unexpected directions in which the students take the module. I attend to how it changes through their entangled discussions. I share how I designed the module and its assessment and discuss some of the texts and issues we bring into our learning community. Throughout, I advocate for an affirmative approach to social justice in higher education pedagogy that acknowledges the partiality and situatedness of knowledge, recognizes interdependence, and the need for affinity.
Spaces, Places & Lines Between Teacher Education and Community Garden
Authors: Harding Lucy
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the diffractive connectedness of spaces and places among education, nature, academia, and community. In it, I follow a project in which trainee teachers and a community garden volunteer group engage photography and poetry to connect with each other in cross community-education spaces. As I think through the shared visual and material mementos, I document a discomfort that emerges as I remember these encounters and reflect on their entanglement with philosophical posthuman and feminist new materialist ideas. The paper will support other education researchers to traverse the use of these philosophical ideas in praxis.
Embodiments and the Open/ness of Kinship: Ma(r)king Curriculum Through Material Abstractness and Counter-Cartographies
Authors: Saleh Muna , Varga Bretton A.
Published: July 2023

(Re)imaging curriculum as world(ing)s, this article explores what was produced by pre-service teachers when tasked with creating a counter-cartography (i.e., an abstract and material representation of two or more coordinates) that reflects specific (curricular) moments that have shaped their teaching identity/ies. This work argues that despite the nefarious ways in which maps have been used, they can also be(come) territories that promote healing. We draw upon tenets of new materialism (as Sara Ahmed reminds us, matter matters) to frame our engagement with three counter-cartographies produced by pre-service teachers.
Towards Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging: Critical Posthumanism, New Materialism, and Theatre Pedagogies Transversalities
Authors: Cotrim Marta
Published: July 2023

This article maps the overlap of critical posthumanism, new materialism, and a specific theatre pedagogy called the neutral mask and suggests that this transversality can help further the aims of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB), especially in the training of pre-service and in-service teachers. I take up Braidotti’s (2019, 2020) theoretical figurations of nomadic subjectivity, politics of location, and new materialism to Carter's (2022) reconciliatory praxis and auto-phenomenology, and Lecoq’s (2000) physical training for actors called the neutral mask to do this. I argue that the entanglement of these threads of theory and practice in the form of professional development for teachers prior to EDIB training provides them with an embodied experience of dis/identification that may help them perceive instances of inequity, racism, exclusion, and isolation that they otherwise might not have seen.

Association Between Particulate Matter Exposure and Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Authors: Kim Ji-Sun , Lee Dong Chang
Published: July 2023

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a relatively common inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa. Several epidemiological studies have established an association between particulate matter (PM) and CRS. Based on those data, PM has emerged as an important environmental factor in the development of CRS. Recent research has investigated the mechanisms and treatment options for CRS caused by PM through cellular experimentation. Therefore, the authors would like to explain the definition of PM, present research investigating the relationship between PM and CRS, and summarize the involved mechanisms reported to date.
Digital Twins in Healthcare and Their Applicability in Rhinology: A Narrative Review
Authors: Park Minhae , Oh Namkee , Jung Yong Gi
Published: July 2023

Digital twins were initially introduced in the aerospace industry, but they have been applied to the medical field in the 2020s. The development of the Internet of Things, sensor technology, cloud computing, big data analysis, and simulation technology has made this idea feasible. Essentially, digital twins are virtual representations of real-world data that can generate virtual outcomes related to a patient based on their actual data. With this technology, doctors can predict treatment outcomes, plan surgery, and monitor patients’ medical conditions in real time. While digital twins have endless potential, challenges include the need to deal with vast amounts of data and ensure the security of personal information. In the field of rhinology, which deals with complex anatomy from the sinus to the skull base, the adoption of digital twins is just beginning. Digital twins have begun to be incorporated into surgical navigation and the management of chronic diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis. Despite the limitless potential of digital twins, challenges related to dealing with vast amounts of data and enhancing the security of personal data need to be surmounted for this method to be more widely applied.
A Case of Sinochoanal Polyp Originating From the Ethmoid Sinus
Authors: Kim Byung Hun , Hong Seongman , Jang Younil , Myung Jae Kyung , Cho Seok Hyun
Published: July 2023

A nasal polyp is a distinct mucosal pathology that obstructs the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, with various phenotypes and endotypes. Nasal polyps should be distinguished from inverted papillomas, squamous cell carcinomas, juvenile angiofibromas, lymphomas, and olfactory neuroblastomas. A choanal polyp is a solitary benign lesion that originates in the paranasal sinus and extends to the choana through the natural ostium of the sinus. Choanal polyps usually originate from the maxillary sinus; however, we recently experienced the case of 41-year old women with sinochoanal polyp originated from the ethmoid sinus. As choanal polyps can recur even after appropriate surgery, complete resection, including the surrounding mucosa at the site of origin, is required. Therefore, it is essential to consider anatomical differences in polypectomy. We recently diagnosed and successfully performed surgery on an ethmochoanal polyp; herein, we report our experience and present a literature review.
Effectiveness of Dupilumab Treatment to Treat Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kim Jiyeon , Kim Do Hyun , Hwang Se Hwan
Published: July 2023

Background and Objectives: Evidence bearing on the safety and efficacy of dupilumab treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has recently been presented by researchers from various institutions. Therefore, we compared the safety and efficacy of dupilumab treatment to those of endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched independently by two authors from the dates of their inception to December 2022. We retrieved the clinical results of CRSwNP patients after dupilumab administration, including changes in patient symptoms and the effects on the quality of life, and compared the results of dupilumab (treatment group) to those of endoscopic sinus surgery (control group).Results: Eight articles (1,251 patients) were ultimately included. Dupilumab significantly improved nasal symptoms (nasal congestion) (mean difference [MD], -1.4433; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.7233 to -1.1632; I2=94.2%), the visual analog sinusitis score (MD, -5.0506; 95% CI, -5.4744 to -4.6267; I2=84.0%), olfactory function (standardized MD, 1.2691; 95% CI, 1.1549 to 1.3833; I2=18.4%), the quality of life (SNOT-22 score) (MD, -34.4941; 95% CI, -39.4187 to -29.5695; I2=90.8%), the Lund-Mackay computed tomography score (MD, -7.2713; 95% CI, -8.9442 to -5.5984; I2=87.7%), and the nasal polyp score (MD, -3.1021; 95% CI, -3.7066 to -2.4977; I2=95.6%) at about 12 months after treatment compared to the pretreatment values. Compared to endoscopic sinus surgery, dupilumab similarly improved olfactory function (MD, 1.9849; 95% CI, -1.6190 to 5.5888; I2=0.0%) but was less effective in terms of reducing the SNOT-22 score (MD, 3.8472; 95% CI, 1.9872 to 5.7073; I2=96.7%) and reducing nasal congestion (MD, 0.6519; 95% CI, 0.5619 to 0.7420; I2=97.7%).Conclusion: Dupilumab reduced subjective symptom scores and improved the quality of life and objective measures of progression compared to the preoperative values.
