Prevalence and Outcome of Hypoglycaemia Among Children Presenting to the Children Emergency Room of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital
Authors: Enekole Aitafo Josephine , West Boma Awoala
Published: June 2024

Background: Hypoglycaemia is a common feature seen in children presenting in the paediatric emergency and it contributes to increased morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of hypoglycaemia among children admitted into the Children emergency of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital and to assess it’s relationship with patient outcome.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 94 children whose parents gave informed consent were recruited consecutively. Their socio-demographic characteristics, clinical features, diagnosis, management and outcome were recorded. Random blood sugar was determined using Accu-Chek Active Blood glucose meter, and classified as hypoglycaemia (<3.3mmol/l), normoglycaemia (3.4-8-9mmol/l), hyperglycaemia-prediabetic range(>8.9-11mmol/l), hyperglycaemia-diabetic range(>11mmol/l).
Results: Of the 94 recruited children majority were under five years (75 children,79.8%) with male-female ratio of 1.24:1. Most common diagnosis seen were Malaria, Sepsis, Bronchopneumonia, anaemia and Meningitis; with an overall mortality rate of 5.3%. The prevalence of hypoglycaemia was 11.7%. Of the 11 children with hypoglycaemia, 4(44.4%) had their blood glucose level restored after 1 hour, 3(33.3%) had hypoglycaemia persisting and 2(22.3%) had hyperglycaemia. Out of the 3 children who had hypoglycaemia persisting, 2(66.7%) died while the 3rd (33.3%) was discharged. Mortality rate among those with hypoglycaemia was 27.3%. Hypoglycaemia was found to be significantly associated with a diagnosis of Sepsis and Gastroenteritis, and patient mortality.
Conclusion: Hypoglycaemia is common in children presenting in the emergency room and may be associated with increased mortality. Blood glucose levels should be monitored closely in all sick admitted children and hypoglycaemia corrected appropriately.

Authors: Bale B. M. , Peekate L. P. , Wemedo S. A.
Published: June 2024

A significant issue in world healthcare today is the rise in illnesses brought on by bacteria that have developed resistance to widely used antibiotics. The goal of this study was to determine the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria that were isolated from five clinical wastes that were gathered from approved health facilities in Rivers state's Gokana Local Government. Fifty (50) samples of clinical waste were collected for six months from two different health centers. Samples were subjected to Standard microbiological analysis.  Total heterotrophic count, total Staphylococcal count, coliform count, and feacal coliform count were estimated. Five (5) bacteria species isolated during the study and their percentage occurrence were Staphylococcus sp. was the most frequently isolated bacteria 15 (55.6%), Bacillus sp. 8(29.6%), Klebsiella sp. 2(7.4%), Pseudomonas sp. and Escherichia coli 1 (3.7%). Susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics revealed that the Gram-positive bacteria were 77.3% resistant to Cefexime, 68.2% resistant to Cefotaxine and 63.6% resistant to Augmentin and Cefuroxine while the Gram-negative bacteria were 100% resistant to Nalidixic acid, 80% resistant to Ampiclox, 60% resistant to Augmentin, Imipenem/Cilastatin, Cefuroxine and Nitrofurantoin. Out of the twenty-seven (27) isolates, 74% had a multidrug resistance index ≥ 0.2, 14.9% had ≥ 0.5, and 11.1% had <0.2 Multidrug Resistance Index value. This study revealed that azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, imipenem/cilastatin, and ofloxacin can be used as a drug of choice for treatment of Gram-positive bacteria associated with hospital wastes while levofloxacin, ofloxacin, ceftriaxone sulbactam, gentamycin, and cefixime could be used for Gram-negative bacteria associated with hospital wastes.
Autogenous dental transplantation of the third molar: case report
Authors: Lima Adália Ribeiro , Carneiro Diego Thiers Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Autogenous dental transplantation, or autotransplantation, is a technique that gained recognition in the 18th century and involves the transfer of a tooth from one socket to another in the same individual. This practice can be performed with embedded, impacted, or erupted teeth to replace lost or non-restorable teeth, offering a biological alternative that preserves natural teeth. The process of autotransplantation involves steps such as radiographic evaluation, atraumatic extraction, root inspection, extraoral management, and transfer of the tooth to the recipient socket, all carefully followed to ensure clinical success. Currently, dental transplantation is a well-accepted option due to its lower cost, shorter treatment duration, and preservation of tissue and periodontal ligament. However, the lack of knowledge among professionals limits its indication as a rehabilitative alternative. The article presents a literature review followed by a clinical case report of an autogenous dental transplant surgery performed in a Primary Health Care Unit in the municipality of Graça, Ceará, Brazil. A 16-year-old teenager presented with extensive coronary destruction of element 37 due to decay, diagnosed as pulp necrosis. After radiographic evaluation and determining the viability of tooth 38 as a donor, atraumatic extractions of elements 37 and 38 were performed, followed by the autotransplantation of tooth 38 into the socket of tooth 37. The procedure was carried out without scraping or curettage of the recipient bed and without the use of pre-surgical antibiotic therapy. The patient was evaluated after 15 days, 45 days, and 6 months, showing a satisfactory evolution with a response within normal standards for pulp and periodontal health. This work highlights the importance of autotransplantation as an option for dental rehabilitation, especially in contexts where access to endodontic and prosthetic treatments is limited and emphasizes the need for greater dissemination and training for oral health professionals.

Biomedical waste poses significant environmental and public health risks, necessitating proper handling and disposal. Nursing staff, as frontline healthcare providers, play a crucial role in ensuring safe biomedical waste management practices. The objective of this study is to identify the knowledge on biomedical waste management among nurses in a hospital at Birgunj. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working in National Medical College and Teaching Hospital. The nonprobability purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from 169 nurses using a self-administered questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23 facilitated data entry and analysis. Descriptive analysis, employing mean and standard deviation, was conducted, while inferential analysis utilized the chi-square test to explore associations between knowledge levels and selected demographic variables. Results indicated that among the 169 respondents, the majority (67.45%) possessed adequate level of knowledge. Notably, no significant associations were observed between the nurse's knowledge level on biomedical waste management and the selected demographic variables. To enhance knowledge among nurses regarding biomedical waste management, it is recommended that hospital authorities organize continuous education programs and periodic training sessions. These initiatives can contribute to an increased understanding of proper biomedical waste management practices among nursing staff.

Diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic that showed a dramatic worldwide increase in its incidence and has been associated with life threatening complications if not detected and managed properly. Even though, insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs were used for its management, lots of efforts are made to improve patient’s care by pancreas and islet transplantation along with stem cell therapies like embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and adult mesenchymal stem cells. Adult stem cells, which are also termed as somatic stem cells or resident stem cells, are a type of undifferentiated cells, resided in a differentiated tissue, organ or organism, in a specialized structural local microenvironment, called stem cell niche. The stem cell niche, is the in vivo microenvironment where stem cells are located and receive extrinsic signals interact and integrate to influence stem cell behavior that generally determine their fate. ESC showed unlimited differentiation into insulin producing β-cells with ethical concerns. MSCs possess the capacity to differentiate into islet-like insulin producing cells, to promote the regeneration of pancreatic islet beta cells and protect endogenous pancreatic islet beta cells from apoptosis through immunomodulatory mechanisms.

The Monastic Cell as Utopian Niche: The Contribution of Religious Niches to Socio-Ecological Transformation
Authors: Gärtner Claudia
Published: June 2024

This article explores the extent to which Christian traditions, especially the monastic way of life, possess a transformative potential toward a socio-ecological society. Christian ideas are not unbroken utopias, but they possess an eschatological proviso based on God’s otherness. Neither is monastic life a prefiguration of the Kingdom of God, nor do Christians or the Church prefigure a heavenly society, but Christian action and religious communities can be regarded as forms of refigurative practice, which can fail again and again without losing hope. This article describes the relationship between niche and transformation, between monastic cell and utopia, as such a refigurative practice.
Speculative Fiction South of the Mediterranean: A Literature of Crisis between Dystopian Anxieties and Utopian Alternatives
Authors: Ayed Kawthar , Ayed Wajih
Published: June 2024

Contemporary speculative fiction from the southern area of the Mediterranean is predominantly somber. It often describes worlds where political tyranny prevents the prospect of change, where the scars of the past keep cultures apart, and where technology is forced to harm nature and humanity because of the will of a minority in power. The emerging literary tradition of speculative fiction in this region has a rich history influenced by creative cultural and literary encounters, yet its ongoing contemporary development depicts a protracted sense of crisis rife with dystopian anxieties even as it remains open to occasional utopian alternatives. This article reviews the literary expressions of crisis in selected novels from Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, where, in the last four decades, literary visions of a much-awaited cultural revival instead seek the reasons why change is still a distant prospect. While speculative literature often represents visions of the future, those from along the southern shores of the Mediterranean are laden with traumatic memories of the colonial past, the spleen of the postcolonial present, and the uncertainties of the future.

Se exploran las representaciones sociales sobre los hombres. Los estudios exponen que la corporalidad es un eje central de las definiciones de hombres. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, combinando entrevistas con cuestionarios abiertos a estudiantes de pregrado de diferentes carreras y universidades de Valdivia; participando en total 13 hombres y 18 mujeres. El análisis de contenido temático arroja que las representaciones sobre los hombres se elaboran en asociación con las diferenciaciones biológicocorporales respecto de las mujeres, destacando el mayor tamaño, fuerza, resistencia física, emocional y sexual; identificando relatos incipientes que vinculan estos atributos a la influencia sociocultural y al aprendizaje.
The Influence Of Understanding The Collision Regulations (COLREG) 1972 On Competence Of Navigation Supervision Tasks On Ships
Authors: Kurniadi Dedy , Saeful Mu’tamar Rispa , Dwi Santoso Agus , Bagus Harianto Bambang
Published: June 2024

This research examined the impact of understanding the 1972 Collision Regulations (COLREG) on navigational watch competence on ships. COLREG, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), provides essential guidelines to prevent sea accidents, which every crew member must know. Mastery of COLREG is crucial for cadets in Nautical programs, ensuring they perform effectively during Marine Practice and as future officers. This study utilized a quantitative approach, with structured research objectives, subjects, objects, samples, and data sources. Methodology spanned from data collection to analysis. Findings indicated significant direct correlations: understanding of COLREG with navigation watch duty competence (coefficient = 0.201, p < 0.05), application of COLREG rules (coefficient = 0.235, p < 0.05), situation analysis (coefficient = 0.154, p < 0.05), and taking appropriate actions (coefficient = 0.188, p < 0.05). Similarly, cadet performance showed significant correlations with understanding and applying COLREG rules, situation analysis, and taking appropriate actions, with coefficients ranging from 0.078 to 0.174 (all p < 0.05). Additionally, a strong link was found between cadet performance and navigation watch duty competence (coefficient = 0.458, p < 0.05). The results of the study showed that the competence of navigation surveillance tasks on board ships was closely related to the factors of understanding the 1972 colreg regulations. The findings demonstrate that seafarers with a strong grasp of COLREG can more effectively identify navigational priorities and make appropriate decisions and actions in emergency situations.

The Role of the Fable in Teaching Emotional-social Competences
Authors: Krzyszka Slawomir
Published: June 2024

In the article I bring the issue of using fairy tales in creating emotional social skills among children. It occupies a special place in bibliotherapy on the grounds of unique effect. The fairy tales strengthen, in fantastic form, the regional views on human intercourse and show ideals of good and justice and criteria of assessing human actions. Thanks to fairy tales, they stimulate moral development and enable to adapt socially accepted patterns of behaviour. In fairy tales the life matters are shown. They try to answer the question what the world is, which rules it governs and how to cope with fears and risks.
Bulgarian Folklore in the Reading Books for the First and Second Grades (with First Circulation 2016 – 2017)
Authors: Georgieva Anna
Published: June 2024

The article presents part of the results of a research activity carried out under the project “SUMMIT – Research, testing and analysis of the implementation of innovative approaches in the education of students and pupils from 1st to 4th grades – Part I”. The goal is for students to be prepared methodically and correctly to develop the topics related to studying/teaching works from Bulgarian folklore, included in the 27 alternative reading books from first to fourth grade, through which the “Literary Education” component is realized. Tables No. to No. 14 show the number and titles of texts from Bulgarian (and foreign) folklore that are included in the analyzed 15 reading books for first and second grade. The relative share of works from Bulgarian folklore, compared to the total number of studied works, as well as texts that are present in more than one reading book, is highlighted.
The Earth Will Sink and the Heavens Will Be Torn Asunder: Apocalyptic Prophecies Related to Rome’s Fall from the Orthodox Faith (According to “The Tale of How Rome Fell from the Greek Orthodox Faithˮ)
Authors: Kovachev Kristiyan
Published: June 2024

The article examines the polemical anti-Latin writings “The Tale of how Rome fell away from the Orthodox Greek faith” (according to manuscript TSIAI 1161) and “Word of how Rome fell” (according to manuscript SANU 147) in the context of the theme of apocalyptic prophecies and the expectation of severe, but God’s just punishment for sins committed. A study of these short but message-laden late medieval texts reveals not only the perception of the conflict between East and West among ordinary people, but also the fear of catastrophic consequences for the world as a result of the violation of church tradition. The change of custom also implies an intervention in the plan of the Creator and changes in the physically visible and spiritual world.
note on weak w-projective modules
Authors: Assaad Refat Abdelmawla Khaled
Published: June 2024

Let $R$ be a ring. An $R$-module $M$ is a weak $w$-projective module if ${\rm Ext}_R^1(M,N)=0$ for all $N$ in the class of $GV$-torsion-free $R$-modules with the property that ${\rm Ext}^k_R(T,N)=0$ for all $w$-projective $R$-modules $T$ and all integers $k\geq1$. In this paper, we introduce and study some properties of weak $w$-projective modules. We use these modules to characterise some classical rings. For example, we will prove that a ring $R$ is a $DW$-ring if and only if every weak $w$-projective is projective; $R$ is a von Neumann regular ring if and only if every FP-projective module is weak $w$-projective if and only if every finitely presented $R$-module is weak $w$-projective; and $R$ is $w$-semi-hereditary if and only if every finite type submodule of a free module is weak $w$-projective if and only if every finitely generated ideal of $R$ is weak $w$-projective.

Published: June 2024

Masyarakat memiliki gaya hidup cenderung mengonsumsi makanan junk food. Gorengan menjadi pilihan di kalangan masyarakat karena penyajiannya tidak membutuhkan waktu lama (cepat) dan mudah didapatkan. Akan tetapi, masyarakat kurang mengetahui tingkat keamanan gorengan yang dijual di tepi jalan, termasuk penggunaan berulang minyak goreng yang digunakan oleh penjual gorengan. Penjual gorengan umumnya berjualan di tepi jalan, dimana besar kemungkinan logam timbal (Pb) dari partikel debu dan asap-asap kendaraan yang melintas akan mengendap di dalam wajan penggorengan dan gorengan yang sudah jadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar Pb pada minyak goreng berulang oleh pedagang gorengan di sekitaran kampus Poltekkes Muhammadiyah Makassar. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan secara eksperimen laboratorik dengan mengambil sebanyak 10 sampel minyak goreng penggunaan berulang dari pedagang gorengan. Berdasarkan hasil uji kualitatif dengan metode uji reaksi warna menggunakan K2CrO4 10 % diperoleh 3 sampel positif dan 7 sampel negatif. Selanjutnya dilakukan uji kuantitatif dengan menganalisis kadar Pb menggunakan metode Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom, masing-masing diperoleh kadar 0,1317 (mg/kg) untuk sampel B, 0,2163 mg/kg untuk sampel H dan 0,1589 mg/kg. Adapun batasan maksimum cemaran timbal (Pb) dalam peraturan Kepala BPOM RI No. HK.00.06.1.52.4011 tahun 2009 yaitu sebesar 0,1 mg/kg, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa minyak untuk menggoreng di tepi jalan sekitaran kampus Poltekkes Muhammadiyah Makassar dengan penggunaan berulang dapat meningkatkan kadar timbal (Pb) dimana terdapat 3 sampel yang melebihi batas maksimum yang diperbolehkan.

Rendering Black Queer Operations: Technologies for Knowing, Being, and Living in Dirty Computer
Authors: Victorian Jordan
Published: June 2024

In 2018, musical artist Janelle Monáe released Dirty Computer, a sci-fi film/visual album accompanying her musical album of the same name. Dirty Computer plays with elements of the visual album genre by embedding conventional music videos within a larger sci-fi narrative, the videos functioning as representations of Monáe's character's supposed “memories.” This essay analyzes representational strategies at play in Dirty Computer, drawing from Black feminist and queer theory, Black cultural studies, and media studies. I argue that together the narrative universe and structure of Dirty Computer strategically depict struggles over living as Black, queer, and/or woman; maintaining sovereignty over othered bodies and selves; and creating Black worlds within and despite an anti-Black world. Thematically, the film offers futuristic visions of queer/women's collectivity and Black queer intimacy. The film's content and structure render an example of Black Queer OS (Operating System); “Queer OS,” as Kara Keeling has described, “seeks to make queer into the logic of ‘an operating system of a larger order’ that unsettles the common senses that secure those presently hegemonic social relations that can be characterized by domination, exploitation, oppression, and other violences.” Dirty Computer reveals surveillance technologies and oppressive institutions as unreliable narrators, incapable of fully or accurately depicting Black queer life. Instead, it is our own bodies and minds that enable technologies for truly knowing and relating as Black, queer, and/or woman. The film demonstrates strategies of subversive social, cultural, and political operation, presenting Black queer subjectivity as a technology of liberated being. Ultimately, Dirty Computer instructs us to operationalize Black queer life, joyfully together, on a larger order.
Representação vs. Representatividade: Analyzing Black LGBTQ+ Identity Politics in Brazil
Authors: Poe Watufani M.
Published: June 2024

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, a growing number of Black LGBTQ+ political candidates have run for electoral positions in Brazil. In the last five years, a significant number of these candidates have won their campaigns from varying political leanings, despite the rise of neofascist, homophobic, and transphobic waves throughout the election and the subsequent failed reelection attempt of Brazilian ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. While many of these Black LGBTQ+ candidates ran on platforms that centered their own social location as a power analysis to help them understand and react to the inequalities and social hierarchies in the country, some candidates strategically weaponized their identities to work against a politics of social equity. The candidates in the latter category rejected the idea that identity has anything to do with politics. These conflicts arising in the political sphere point to tensions about the purpose of representational politics for the communities who share identities with the politician. In this article, I look at the various iterations of representation that have taken place for Black LGBTQ+ politicians in recent years, analyzing how different candidates weaponize their identities. I ask what Black LGBTQ+ representational politics looks like and argue that a fundamental difference exists between representação, a simple form of representation where Black LGBTQ+ people are entering the political sphere regardless of their politics, and representatividade, a radical form of representation that ensures that Black LGBTQ+ candidates work politically for the interests of their community and all those who are oppressed like them. In my article I use interviews I conducted with one leftist Black trans state representative, Erica Malunguinho, as well as news articles, campaign videos, and other materials produced by the campaigns of both Malunguinho and right-wing Black gay politician Douglas Garcia to understand how the two politicians mobilize identity politics in their policy work and produce radically different meanings of representational politics for Black LGBTQ+ communities.
