A 2-month-old male domestic shorthair cat was referred to a private veterinary clinic with a history of dyspnea and inappetence. At the clinical examination, the cat was in poor body condition, with hyperthermia and abdominal distension. No major abnormalities were observed in the thoracic radiographs or abdominal ultrasound. A complete blood count revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Although no clinical diagnosis was made, the cat received support therapy, but went into cardiac arrest and died. The cat was submitted for necropsy and the main gross finding was two white nodules on the ventral surface of the thoracic vertebrae (from T1 to T4). At the cut surface, the nodules were friable and filled with yellow exudate. The epidural space of the thoracic region was filled with yellowish viscous material. Histologically, the vertebrae were partially replaced by abscess formation characterized by a necrotic center with degenerate neutrophils, surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. The epidural space was filled with degenerate neutrophils, necrotic debris, fibrin, and intralesional colonies of gram-negative short rod-shaped to coccobacillary bacteria. Bacteriologic culture yielded Pasteurella multocida. This paper describes the gross, histological, and bacteriological features of a rare case of spinal epidural empyema caused by Pasteurella multocida in a cat.

The reported prevalence of canine hepatoid gland tumor (HGT) varies widelyowing mainly to the lack of well-defined diagnostic criteria and poor interobserver agreement. The aim of the present study was to improve the level of diagnostic agreement among pathologists in canine HGT. Five pathologists diagnosed and classified morphological features in 57 cases of canine HGT and, based on their reports, diagnostic algorithms were devised using recursive partitioning analysis. The proportion of diagnoses of malignant hepatoid neoplasia among the five pathologists ranged from 26.3 to 50.9%. Interobserver diagnostic agreement was classified as fair (κ=0.54) but improved to good (κ~0.65) following application of two novel diagnostic algorithms based on histomorphological features as sebaceous differentiation, mitotic count, atypical mitosis and cellular atypia. This study has demonstrated that interobserver agreement in the diagnosis of canine HGT could be improved using novel algorithms. Further analyses are warranted to validate the proposed classification systems applying a higher sampling of canine HGTs.

We described an outbreak of abomasal bloat in goat kids. Increased mortality with a history of abdominal bloating, dullness, and death was reported. Postmortem exanimation revealed dehydration, pale mucosa, ascites, abomasal tympanism and intestinal meteorism and congestion, and emphysematous abomasitis. Cytological evaluation from abomasum revealed gram-positive bacteria with a cuboid shape suggestive of Clostridium ventriculi, gram-positive bacilli suggestive of Clostridium perfringens, and ovoid basophilic yeasts. C. ventriculi and C. perfringens type A were confirmed by anaerobic culture and molecular tests. Histopathological findings revealed emphysematous abomasitis, necrosis of the gastric and intestinal walls, gastroenteritis, and intestinal thromboembolism. The possible associated factor was erroneous use of the milk replacer associated with inadequate kid management. Finally, the prophylactic measures suggested such as hygiene care, proper use of milk replacer, clostridial vaccination plan, and a good colostrum management were able to control the outbreak.
The Impact of Public Health Intervention Policies On Locals’ Mobility Patterns During the First Half of 2020
Authors: Tavitiyaman Pimtong , Xu Bill , Fung Chloe
Published: July 2022

Objective: The prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause inconvenience and affect lifestyle because human movements can spread virus transmission. This study aims to investigate the impact of the government’s public health intervention policies and reported COVID-19 cases on locals’ mobility patterns.
Design: Secondary data on various mobility patterns of Hong Kong people against public health intervention policies and reported COVID-19 cases were collected and analyzed from publicly available sources, including government, commercial, and news sites. Data were collected from January to July 2020. Multiple regression was applied for hypothesis testing. 
Results: Results showed positive and negative impacts of public health intervention policies and reported COVID-19 cases on locals’ mobility patterns. The policy of wearing facial masks negatively influenced locals’ mobility patterns. Then, the policy of closure of leisure and cultural service venues increases locals’ mobility for retail, groceries, and transit. Moreover, the policy limiting social gatherings to 50 people enhanced locals’ mobilities for retail and transit. From another aspect, the reported COVID-19 cases had a negative impact on locals’ mobility for retail, parks, and transit.
Conclusions: This study presents considerable effects of public health intervention policies. With the restrictions on certain activities or behaviors, locals will transfer to another behavior, which consequently enhances travel mobilities. The reported COVID-19 cases significantly reduced local mobility patterns.
Training Primary School Science Teachers to be Conscious of Scientific Creativity
Authors: CAN İclal , GELMEZ BURAKGAZİ Sevinç
Published: July 2022

Purpose: This qualitative case study explores whether and to what extent a scientific creativity training improved primary school science teachers’ consciousness of scientific creativity, and how these changes in the teachers’ scientific creativity consciousness were transferred into their classroom practices following the intervention.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A Scientific Creativity Training Program (SCTP) was developed by the researchers. Data were collected from seven primary school science teachers using semi-structured interviews, in-class observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis.

Findings: The results indicated that the SCTP (Scientific Creativity Training Program) seemed to improve the teachers’ consciousness of scientific creativity. The results also indicated that all teachers integrated scientific creativity into their classroom practice as a result of the SCTP. The SCTP was found to enable teachers to reflect on the extent to which they employed creativity in their personal and professional lives and question the extent to which they taught creativity and/or used creative methods in the classroom. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that the SCTP improved the teachers’ creativity consciousness and enhanced their pedagogical content knowledge. This was in turn found to affect the teachers’ classroom practices, as it led them to believe that creativity is malleable and increased their motivation and self-efficacy to foster their students’ creative consciousness and creative attitudes. The teachers seemed to use more creative activities and materials in their science classrooms following the intervention, despite the presence of hindrances that negatively impacted their practices.

Highlights: Our results indicated that creativity education can lead teachers to make significant changes to their classroom practice by gradually integrating scientific creativity. The present study also reveals that each teacher has a unique trajectory of change regarding creativity and creative teaching, which needs to be taken into consideration for more sustainable creativity education.
Knowledge Production About Educational Management in Türkiye: Lecturer Perspectives
Authors: AYYILDIZ Pınar , ÖZDEMİR Murat
Published: July 2022

Purpose: The study analyzes epistemic beliefs of field members qualitatively as to the knowledge base of Educational Management.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research design is descriptive phenomenology, and the data collection tool has semi- structured questions facilitating epistemological reasoning and thinking in Educational Management. The questions were posed through one-on-one, face to face interviews. The participants are 29 lecturers in departments of Educational Management in 3 state universities in Turkey. The interviews were hold during the first term of 2018-19 Academic Year.

Findings: The results indicate the participants hold unique epistemic beliefs in their evaluations of possibility of knowledge, truth of knowledge, justifying knowledge and boundaries of knowledge in the knowledge base. It is observed participants’ personal epistemic beliefs also bear certain commonalities.

Highlights: There is neither a priori knowledge nor absolute truth in the knowledge base implying the knowledge of Educational Management calls for hermeneutic explanations; it continues to be a struggle to study the highly dynamic epistemologies-both those of individual researchers and communities-emerging and ‘filtered’ and hence ‘refined’ in the knowledge of the field. Preserving the core of the field knowledge whilst expanding it can be realized through working in a collaborative fashion within the field and ‘beyond’.

Authors: KABATAŞ MEMİŞ Esra , BOZKURT AYDIN Rahşan
Published: July 2022

Purpose: This study was conducted with students in their third year at the Department of Science Teaching at Kastamonu University in the 2015-2016 academic year. The study's objective is to investigate the effect of the argumentation-based and argumentation-based inquiry approaches supported by metacognition activities on students' science achievement.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was carried out in 10 weeks with the participation of 69 students divided into three groups, namely, the ABI group, the ABI + metacognitive activity group and the group in which the traditional method was applied. An achievement test consisting of 25 questions and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. In the data analysis, pre-post test evaluations and descriptive statistics were used.Findings: The data obtained showed that there was a significant difference between the groups, which was in favour of groups where the ABI approach was applied, and that there was a slightly significant difference between groups of ABI and the ABI supported by metacognition activities, which was in favour of the ABI group supported by metacognition activities. The interviews with students revealed many significant and positive outcomes; they stated that they were satisfied with the ABI applications, that they would prefer ABI in their professional lives, and that the applications facilitated scientific thinking.Highlights: Metacognition has an important place in scientific literacy and knowledge structuring. Because it provides metacognition to be aware of the individual's learning and learning process, it can be said that language practices such as discussion and writing, especially in the ABI process, activate cognitive and metacognitive mechanisms.
Spheres and civilization
Authors: Brophy Christopher Justin
Published: July 2022

This article argues that Sigmund Freud in Civilization and Its Discontents draws heavily from the human origins myth of Plato's Aristophanes to expound his own political theory. More specifically, the politically relevant psychical conflicts that lie at the center of Civilization and Its Discontents—the desire to return to an earlier state of psychic existence, the erotic drive, and the death drive—find their original articulation and political application from Plato’s Aristophanes as presented in the dialogue, Symposium. The exploration of connections between Freud’s work and Plato’s (1) shows how attuned ancient sources are to modern concerns; (2) increases our understanding of Freud’s theories by providing a more substantial context for considering his work; and (3) offers the possibility of alternative answers to modern questions.
The psychoanalytic critique of capitalism
Authors: Gerber Julien-François
Published: July 2022

This article provides a preliminary overview of the psychoanalytic critique of capitalism. It aims to fortify the recent psychoanalytic turn in—or return to—the study of capitalism and its alternatives. After identifying the main approaches to the psychoanalytic study of the economy, I present some of the key critical contributions along four broad thematic streams: libidinal repression (‘Eros’), repetition compulsion (‘Thanatos’), hedonistic will to power (‘Ahriman’), and narcissistic rationalising (‘Lucifer’). The Ahriman/Lucifer pair is proposed here as a new coupling able to capture wide-ranging trends in this literature. Over time, debates have changed in emphases and concepts, but a large part of the core questions has remained the same and as relevant as ever. While there have been complementarities as well as disagreements between the different contributions, the psychoanalytic study of the economy has regrettably never formed a self-conscious field of inquiry, something that this article seeks to remedy.

Published: July 2022

The research reported in this article analysed letters written by a cohort of psychotherapy and counselling students, in response to an anti-racism letter by Professor George Yancy entitled ‘Dear White America’. Fifteen responses were written by students who don’t experience racism, with one written by a student who does experience racism. A thematic analysis was conducted that produced five themes: connection with participants willing to challenge their racism; disconnection from participants unwilling to challenge their racism; anger; disappointment; and empathy. This article offers a discussion of these themes and also reflections on the interracial group processes that took place during the analysis. It concludes by considering the difficulties and challenges of speaking about racism, as well as exploring how this exercise could be better implemented in future.
Meditation, critical psychology, and emancipation
Authors: Ványi Dániel
Published: July 2022

In this article, it is argued that the original Buddhist notion of meditation can be regarded as an emancipatory practice, as opposed to a legitimation of oppressive social relations. The article first discusses the Buddhist notion of meditation as a practice of the deconstruction of the illusion of a substantial (separate, solid, autonomous) self. Then, it explains theories of the social construction of the self and argues that the notion of the autonomous, separated self is an ideology closely tied to social relations of power. Finally, it concludes that meditation, as a practice of the deconstruction of the self, is an emancipatory practice.
A critique of leftist gaming
Authors: De Vos Jan , Bown Alfie
Published: July 2022

This article presents a discussion between Jan De Vos and Alfie Bown on leftist gaming. Bown wrote a well-read and well-referenced book entitled The Playstation Dreamworld (2018a) in which he also advanced the idea of the necessity to develop gaming for the left. In his book The Digitalisation of (Inter)Subjectivity (2020), De Vos challenged and critiqued the concept of leftist gaming in a chapter entitled ‘Digital Mass Effects’. In this article, Alfie Bown introduces the discussion after which Jan De Vos rehearses the main arguments of his book, adding a few extra elements to his critique. De Vos’s main question is whether the fact that digital technologies, historically underpinned by mainstream psychological theories, undermine Bown’s psychoanalytic project for leftist gaming. In his response, Bown then pleads to scrutinise not only the pre-digital history of coding but also the future of it, so as to rewrite the history of the digital infrastructure as inherently tied to the history of capitalism. De Vos closes this article with a brief afterthought.

Mandibular trauma severity differences on motorcycle riders using half-face helmet and without helmet based on mandible injury severity score
Authors: Syakuran Muhammad , Hardianto Andri , Nurwiadh Agus
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The popular half-face helmet places the mandible at high risk of fracture during a motorcycle accident. The anatomical shape and position of the mandible make it more frequent to fracture. The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of mandibular trauma in motorcyclists using half face helmets and without using a helmet based on the Mandible Injury Severity Score (MISS). Methods: This research was a prospective cross-sectional study on 60 research subjects at the Emergency Unit of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, between July 2019 - February 2020. The data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test to see the severity of mandibular trauma using a half face helmet and without a helmet based on MISS (Mandible Injury Severity Score). Results: Of 60 subjects of motorcycle accidents, 58.3% were <25 years old, 38 (63.3%) used half face helmets and 22 (36.7%) non-helmets, 83.3% of the patients were drivers, and 11.7% were passengers. Most fracture sites are parasymphysis, corpus, condylus, symphysis, and subcondylar. 48.3% of subjects had malocclusion, 56.5 with mild displacement, and 43,3% with moderate removal. The average MISS score for half face helmet users was 5.71 and compared to 7.45 for non-helmets. Based on the Mann Whitney test results, the MISS value was not significantly different. Conclusion: Riders who wore half face helmets and those who didn’t wear helmets have the same risk of mandibular trauma based on the MISS. Motorcycle users should use a full face helmet to prevent mandibular fractures during traffic accidents.Keywords: MISS, trauma of mandible, half face helmet, traffic accidents.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Collecting dental data for odontogram in medical records is done chiefly conventionally and causes a lot of human errors. Disadvantages of the conventional method can be overcome by developing a server-based system to store medical information equipped with embedded artificial intelligence (AI), which can identify the patient’s dental condition using an intra-oral camera with the help of Deep Learning algorithms. It is essential to evaluate the usability of this application to adapt to user needs. This study aimed to know the user’s experience in using this application and also provide information for improvements of the application. Methods: This is quantitative descriptive research with 15 users (dentists) as the respondent. The questionnaire was used to measure the user’s experience using this application. The user’s experiences measured are effectivity, efficiency, and satisfaction.  Results: The highest scores of respondents on the three variables are extremely efficient, effective, and satisfied (9 people). The lowest score is slightly efficient and neutral on the efficiency and effectiveness variables (0 people). In the satisfaction variable, the lowest score is slightly satisfied (0 people). Conclusions: The Usability Testing of the “Smart Odontogram” Application based on User’s Experience showed a good result in 3 variables: effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfactionKeywords: smart Odontogram; medical record; application; usability testing; user’s experience

Optimization in Mathematics Modeling and Processing of New Type Silicate Glass Ceramics
Authors: Qin Ling
Published: July 2022

This paper applies the Gaussian random field to the mathematical modeling of new-type silicate glass-ceramic trachoma detection. The article established a three-dimensional numerical model of trachoma structure based on the anisotropic random field. Then, the open and closed operations in mathematical morphology are used to obtain the strongly connected boundaries of the new-type silicate glass-ceramic trachoma image. At the same time, the connected domain detection in binary morphology is used to remove the noise to obtain the target image of the silicate glass-ceramic pore. The study found that this method can better meet the requirements of silicate glass-ceramic trachoma measurement than the classic edge detection operator.
Response Model of Teachers’ Psychological Education in Colleges and Universities Based on Nonlinear Finite Element Equations
Authors: Guo Zhirong , Aldulaimi Saeed Hameed
Published: July 2022

This article proposes a nonlinear mental health evaluation model after combining the nonlinear finite element equation with the mental health education of teachers in colleges and universities. We take the “self-concept” in psychology as an order parameter to judge mental health. At the same time, logical thinking is used to guide college teachers to rethink the process of their psychological activities. Research has found that the nature of human psychology is nonlinear. It is feasible to use nonlinear analysis methods to improve the status quo of original data analysis in psychological and behavioral control research.
Can People Trust What They Don‘t Understand? Role of Language and Trust for Financial Inclusion
Authors: Nagańska Aleksandra , Cichocki Stanisław
Published: July 2022

The aim of this paper is to look at determinants of financial inclusion through the lens of comprehension of financial concepts and financial language. Specifically, we are interested in which factors are important should this comprehension be absent. We show that, in the context of finance, communication is an important transmission channel through which individuals are encouraged or discouraged to participate in the financial system. We argue that the unfamiliarity with products and the complexity of language used in the banking sector tend to limit trust granted to financial institutions. We test the hypothesis that linguistic diversity is a strong instrument for the impact of the lack of communication on trust.

Applying Ordinary Least Squares and probit regression, quantile regression, and instrumental variables to cross country and individual-level data, we show the importance of individual and cultural characteristics and demonstrate the role of trust and communication for financial inclusion. The outcome is consistent for different model specifications.

Authors: Bolek Monika , Gniadkowska-Szymańska Agata , Lyroudi Katerina
Published: July 2022

This paper aims to discuss market efficiency due to the changes that appeared in this field after the COVID-19 outburst. The OMX exchange and its indices are taken into consideration because they represent markets not analysed in such a context before (a) Baltic: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; (b) Scandinavian: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). Two periods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic are considered (January 2009 to January 2020 and February 2020 to February 2021), and the efficient market hypothesis is tested together with the day-of-a-week effect anomaly to recognize the differences in market efficiency that could appear under special conditions, such as a pandemic. The results indicated that the impact of this pandemic on market efficiency was positive in most of the OMX markets studied. The added value of the article is related to supplementing the theory of market efficiency and showing that in difficult times investors make more rational decisions.

Tuberculosis remains as an infectious disease with a very high prevalence in the Indian subcontinent. Deep vein thrombosis in tuberculosis is due to the increased fibrinogen levels, release of inflammatory cytokines and decreased synthesis of anti-coagulant proteins. We describe a case of deep venous thrombosis of bilateral lower limbs in association with pulmonary tuberculosis and protein S deficiency.

Telehealth (TH) is defined as the entire spectrum of activities used to deliver care remotely; without direct physical contact with the patient (1). It could be either provider-to patient or provider-to-provider communications. TH can take place synchronously (telephone and video), asynchronously (patient portal messages, e-consults), and through virtual agents (chat) and wearable devices (1). It has been used to support access to specialized medical advice in remote areas in many countries all over the world. We discuss the potentials uses of TH Clinics in Sudan and propose a guidance of establishing such services. The current pandemic of Sars-Covid-19 Has increased the pressure on most health systems. This has challenged and urged for significant changes in the way we provide health care for both Covid and non-Covid cases. There is great potential for improvement in services in many countries including Sudan with the use of TH.
The cause of severe hypercalcaemia resistant to pamidronate treatment: subcutaneous fat necrosis with no visible skin lesion

Published: July 2022

Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN) is an uncommon cause of neonatal hypercalcemia. It is usually seen in neonates after a complicated delivery within the first month of life. While uncommon, hypercalcemia can be fatal. It is characterized by red-purple plaques in fatty points along with firm subcutaneous nodules. Rarely, SCFN may cause severe hypercalcemia with no visible skin lesion. In this rare case, we report severe infancy hypercalcemia without characteristic skin lesion on first physical examination, unresponsive to hydration, diuretic, prednisolone, and standard dose of pamidronate treatment. As timely diagnosis and treatment is so important, this complication should be kept in mind even in such clinical presentations.
Diversified migrational abnormalities in a child with seizure: imaging findings

Published: July 2022

Numerous migrational abnormalities can be seen in children presenting with seizures or developmental delay which depend on the time of insult and includes various anomalies including cortical malformation,schizecephaly, and heterotopia.CT has very low sensitivity in detecting these abnormalities.MRI is the investigation of choice due to its excellent soft-tissue resolution,grey-white matter differentiation, and multiplanar capability. The radiologist must prepare an algorithm for diagnosis to avoid missing these lesions and guide the clinician in the appropriate management.

Published: July 2022

Background: Epidemiological data regarding paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections from developing countries of Asia and Africa are sparse and is further complicated by presence of factors like malnutrition, delay in initiating treatment, belief in alternative form of treatment and under vaccination. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse the cases of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a tertiary care centre in India.
Methods: It is a retrospective study including patients below 18 years of age who had been diagnosed with any pyogenic musculoskeletal infection. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiological details were collected.
Results: A total of 216 children with mean age of 12.8±4.9 years (10 days – 18 years) were included in the study. The causative organism could be isolated in 98 cases (45.3%). Escherichia coli and methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus were the most common pathogens isolated in infants and children, respectively. Imipenem and linezolid were the commonest sensitive antibiotics for children up to 10 years and after 10 years, respectively. Linezolid was the antibiotic of choice in culture negative cases. The majority (78.3%, n = 169) of the children underwent a surgical procedure during the stay at the hospital. Higher relapse rate (61%) was noted in negative culture patients.
Conclusion: Improved methods of pathogen detection should be explored to improve the rate of positive cultures. Additional prospective studies with longer patient follow-up and the creation of care protocols are necessary to improve therapeutic decision-making and the prognosis for children with suspected musculoskeletal infection.
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and heterologous immunity: a way out of the COVID-19 crisis?
Authors: Shrivastava Jahnavi , Narang Manish , Gomber Sunil
Published: July 2022

Heterologous immunity is a well-known concept in immunology wherein prior exposure to an antigen confers cross protection against an unrelated antigen. With the surge in global COVID-19 cases, there has been significant research into the application of vaccine induced heterologous immunity associated with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG) vaccine, oral polio vaccine (OPV) and hepatitis A vaccine in curbing the worst outcomes of COVID-19 infection. Despite having specific vaccines against COVID-19, it is worthwhile exploring the application of available vaccines in the prevention of severe disease until the vaccines reach all sections of the population across the globe. In this article, we aim to outline the concept of heterologous immunity and its relevance in context to MMR vaccine and COVID-19.

Published: July 2022

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder, usually presenting with massive lymphadenopathy. The involvement of extra nodal sites, bone and nodal sites like mediastinum are rare. Clinical data of three cases of extra nodal RDD who were admitted in our Pediatric Hemato-oncology unit were analyzed in the last 5 years. The extra nodal RDD (maxillary sinus, nasal pharyngeal focus, and external auditory meatus) were diagnosed based on histopathology and positron emission tomography (PET) scan. They were treated with steroids, but were refractory hence requiring salvage chemotherapy. Currently all 3 of them are in complete remission. Extra nodal RDD are difficult to diagnose, and histopathology and radiology play an important role. Here we present three cases, of which two were steroid refractory which were treated with salvage chemotherapy and are in complete remission.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a collection of developmental abnormalities that can lead to significant social, communicative, and behavioral challenges. A nurse is critical in establishing a parent\'s level of autism awareness and coping skills. Our purpose was to evaluate how a parenting program for mothers influenced their ability to manage with autistic children. Quasi-interventional research, before and after the program was done. A total of 70 mothers of autistic children were enrolled in Khartoum State\'s five autism centers. The Short Form Parenting Stress Index (PSI-SF) was used to measure the level of stress and burden experienced by mothers caring for children with autism. The study showed that 31.4% of mothers had a good score in physical care skills before the intervention and 50.0% after the intervention. The mean scores of stresses pre-training 134.48 decreased to 64.1 post training program. In the pre-training program 42.90% of the mothers used problem focus coping strategy and the post-training program represented 92.85%. The educational health and counseling program played an important role in improving mothers\' ability to cope with their autistic children.

The Cover of the current issue of the Sudanese Journal of Paediatrics (SJP) pays tribute to the late Dr. Mohamed Zain Seidahmed, Member of SJP International Editorial Board, whom we lost recently (see Editorial). His photo overlays the pyramids of the Napta/Meroitic Kingdom (800BC–350AD), depicting the heritage of Sudan and its civilization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mero%C3%AB). Also shown is the Meroitic script, the indigenous alphabet consisting of 23 letters, which has been developed in the Naptan Period at about 700–300BC. The Arabic script of the ‘Sudanese Journal of Paediatrics', reflecting the current main language and culture, was designed at the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST), by Taha El Atta, PhD.
