Published: October 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major worldwide health problem, particularly in India, where it accounts for a quarter of infections. Adherence to the directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS), which is necessary for TB treatment, is difficult in resource-limited circumstances. This study addressed the knowledge, attitude, and perceived barriers related to TB and DOTS adherence among patients and caregivers. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken at the selected TB clinics between November 2023 and March 2024. Purposive sample yielded 180 patients and 217 caregivers. Data were obtained using validated, self-structured questionnaires that assessed knowledge, attitude, and perceived barriers to TB and DOTS adherence. Statistical analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS version 23.0. The study found that caregivers had considerably greater TB knowledge than patients (p<0.05). Many patients misunderstood the cause of TB (50.6%) and embraced various misconceptions about the disease, such as TB spreading by shaking hands or sharing food, swimming in a holy river to cure diseases, and TB being the result of sin or karmic retribution. Distance to treatment facilities (95.6%), the necessity to take time off from work (91.7%), and social stigma (65.0%) were identified as the top three barriers to DOTS adherence. The study highlighted considerable gaps in knowledge, distant healthcare facilities, busy work schedules, and social stigma as barriers to TB treatment adherence in Deoghar, Jharkhand. Addressing these challenges via focused education and support activities is essential for enhancing DOTS adherence and TB treatment outcomes.

Filarial lymphedema (LE) remains a significant global problem despite the progress made toward elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF). In Ghana, the main approach to LF is preventive chemotherapy, but this has minimal impact on individuals who have already developed LE. In 2018–2020, a 24-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of stringent hygiene measures using the Essential Package of Care with or without additional administration of doxycycline (DOX) to improve filarial leg LE. This study enrolled 356 participants with LE stages 1–3 from two districts in the Upper East Region of Ghana. In addition to regular training on appropriate care for their affected legs, participants were randomized to receive 6 weeks of either 200 mg/day DOX (n = 117), 100 mg/day DOX (n = 120), or matching placebo (n = 119). Participants were seen every 2 months, with clinical measurements done at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months to assess the status of affected legs. There was a trend toward later appearance of acute attacks after DOX, but surprisingly, DOX showed no effect on LE stage progression. In all groups, leg LE improvement was more common (DOX 200 mg: n = 23 [20%]; DOX 100 mg: n = 23 [19.5%]; placebo: n = 32 [27.4%]) than LE worsening (DOX 200 mg: n = 2 [1.7%]; DOX 100 mg: n = 3 [2.5%]; placebo: n = 2 [1.7%]). Overall, these data show a strong benefit from adherence to a strict hygiene protocol, with some added potential benefit for DOX in preventing acute attacks.

The Disintegration of “Power/Knowledge”: Post-Socialist Studies as Decolonial Studies? A Personal Point of View. Part 2: The Socialist Expansion of Post-Colonial Studies
Authors: Kiossev Alexander
Published: October 2024

The relationship between post-colonial and post-socialist studies is extraordinarily complex. Post-colonialists might argue that it can be approached from different perspectives as well as different power positions of knowledge production. As a result, I have chosen a specific trajectory that intersects and challenges the static power positions and is able to trace the debates and the unfolding of the complex problem over time. As a long-time scholar in this area, and moreover one who has taken many different roads in both fields, I will describe this relationship from the perspective of my own scholarly biography.
However, my professional career has spanned several decades and surpassed the transient trends and fashions within this scholarly field. As such, it can only be depicted as an extensive narrative comprising multiple episodes, published in sequence across the double issue of the journal Studia Litteraria, devoted to forms of engagement in contemporary Southern and Western Slavic literatures. Part 2 focuses on the socialist expansion of Post-Colonial Studies.
The Aesthetics of Responsibility in the Latest Post-Yugoslav Theatre Projects
Authors: Abrasowicz Gabriela , Księska Dobromiła
Published: October 2024

Theatre in the countries that emerged after the break-up of Yugoslavia is one of those areas of contemporary culture that respond very quickly to social and political issues, ongoing discourses in the public space and challenges facing the community and the individual. Directors coming from Serbia, but operating in many areas of the region, such as András Urbán and Zlatko Paković, emphasise in their subversive theatrical treatises that at the root of the limitations of ethical, moral and intellectual freedom lies responsibility as a constant consciousness of determinism expressed in the fact that there are no events without consequences. They problematise the personal responsibility of the author, but also the responsibility of the audience and actors, and explore the theatrical situation (the relationship between actors and audience and the actor-character relationship). It turns out that unmasking criticism aimed at preventing the reproduction of the status quo produces discomfort among the audience (the performances based on Danilo Kiš’s prose and in collaboration with Jeton Neziraj are specifically pointed out here).

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Chai Wan Seok , Jang Young Ho
Published: October 2024

This study was conducted to diagnose the phenomenon in which the Public Design Act only applies to facilities, supplies, and visual images, while the ordinance includes public spaces, thereby conflicting with the higher law, and to examine the legitimacy of including public spaces as subjects of public design. Accordingly, the history and structure of laws related to public design were confirmed through the website of the National Law Information Center, and the current status of application of public spaces was analyzed from four perspectives: related laws, subjects of application of ordinances, public design projects, and related fields through prior studies and research materials. As a result of the study, the current status of application was diagnosed from the perspectives of ambiguity in legal interpretation, limitations in application of ordinances, characteristics of public design projects, and scope of recognition in related fields, and the conclusion was reached that efforts to revise the law are necessary to include public spaces as subjects of public design.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Hu Zhi Da , Zhang Yi Ming , Zhou Yi Xuan
Published: October 2024

In large indoor public spaces such as office buildings and shopping malls, the complex architectural layout and dense population increase the difficulty of emergency evacuation. In the event of a fire or other disaster, the lack of effective evacuation measures can lead to significant casualties and property loss. This paper studies fire evacuation maps in China based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) methods, aiming to improve the cognitive efficiency and user experience of evacuation maps. The study first constructs a hierarchical index system for evacuation maps, determines the weights of various design elements, and forms a judgment matrix through evaluations by experts and users. Then, the optimized evacuation map undergoes a comprehensive evaluation analysis. The results show that clarity and functionality are the two aspects users are most concerned about, with the recognizability of signage and the accuracy of location information being particularly important. The optimized evacuation map shows significant improvements in clarity and information transmission, effectively guiding people to quickly escape in emergencies. This study validates the rationality and feasibility of the AHP-FCE method in the design of fire evacuation maps, providing new ideas and directions for further optimization of evacuation maps.

Published: October 2024

In South Korea, personal mobility devices such as bicycles have recently gained attention due to air pollution concerns and eco-friendly policies.. However, as of 2023, bicycle paths in Seoul only account for 15% of all roads, and more than 10% of bicycle accidents in 2022 occurred while cyclists were walking or crossing the sidewalk. Since bicycles are legally prohibited from riding on sidewalks, there is an increasing need to improve bicycle traffic safety signs to ensure safe riding. This study assessed the condition of various bicycle traffic safety signs on road and surveyed bicycle users to evaluation their visibility when riding. The evaluation criteria included visibility, information usefulness, and color contrast. The findings showed that the effectiveness of signs is influenced by the use of colors and reflective materials that stand out from the surrounding environment. Based on these results, new design direactions were proposed to enhance bicycle safety. The outcomes of this study are expected to serve as foundational direaction of improvements for reducing bicycle-related accidents and promoting the use of bicycles.

In particular cosmetics which are products closely related to the body are not simply products applied to the body but can secure a competitive advantage when they satisfy consumers' eco-friendly values and experience elements. Therefore, this study is a study that analyzes eco-friendly cosmetics brands as components of experience design in line with changing consumer needs and the eco-friendly cosmetics brand market. Through prior research we looked into the research trends of eco-friendly cosmetics and experience design and derived experience design components for analyzing eco-friendly cosmetics brand cases. For balanced research the cosmetics brands subject to the case analysis were selected as top brands according to brand reputation big data analysis results and five brands were selected by company size and domestic/overseas. For the analysis a workshop was held with five service experience design experts. The study was conducted by adopting a closed card sorting method that classifies and analyzes the information provided in the five categories of experience design components (Sensory Perception experience, Feeling & Emotions experience, Intellectual Cognition experience, Behavior experience, and Social Relationship experience). Through case analysis it was found that eco-friendly cosmetic brands with high brand reputation and preference have all five components of experience design and meet the needs of consumers. Therefore in order to secure a differentiated competitive advantage for eco-friendly cosmetics brands it is important to establish a strategy that balances the components of experience design and the study is significant in that it can be used as a reference paper when planning eco-friendly cosmetics brands.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Lu Xinjie , Lee Youngsook
Published: October 2024

To promote the digital preservation and transmission of traditional cultural elements, this study focuses on Yao embroidery as a case study, combining digital technologies and algorithms to extract and analyze its color characteristics. These extracted color features were applied to the design of virtual character clothing. First, a bilateral filtering algorithm was used to preprocess the images of Yao embroidery, reducing noise while preserving intricate details. Subsequently, Euclidean distance was calculated in the Lab color space, and the OSTU adaptive binarization method was employed to separate the image from its background. Additionally, K-means clustering was applied multiple times to the color data, and the optimal result was achieved when the number of clusters was set to eight. Through this process, eight major colors of Yao embroidery were extracted. Based on these extracted colors, 3D point cloud analysis was conducted to study the three-dimensional spatial distribution of color points, and a color combination model based on hue, brightness, and saturation was constructed. The results revealed that the color composition of Yao embroidery predominantly consists of high-saturation colors, with strong color contrasts and distinct ethnic characteristics. Ultimately, this study demonstrated the applicability of integrating the color model and design patterns of Yao embroidery into virtual character clothing design, showcasing the potential for incorporating traditional embroidery into digital design. This contributes to the preservation and promotion of intangible cultural heritage and serves as a valuable reference for further research on the color systems of traditional ethnic costumes.

An Anomalous Right Coronary Artery Draining into the Left Ventricle Through a Fistula
Authors: Carlan Stephen J
Published: October 2024

Background: Of the three main epicardial coronary arteries, the right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, and the left circumflex artery, there are many variables between individuals regarding arterial course, distribution of side branches, and termination points. The term ‘Coronary Artery Anomaly’ (CAA) is reserved for congenital alterations in origin or course of the epicardial arteries that occur in less than 1% of the population. While the majority are asymptomatic, such anomalies can significantly increase the risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. With the increasing use of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), the rate of detection of anomalous coronary arteries is increasing every year. The concurrent presence of a coronary cameral fistula further escalates clinical complexity
requiring a multidisciplinary approach to management. Case Report: A 61-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, migraine, Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia (NSVT), and Supraventricular Tachycardia
(SVT), presented to the emergency department with chest pain and palpitations. Coronary angiography was performed revealing a large Right Coronary Artery (RCA) with a proximal branch giving rise to the Left Circumflex Artery (LCX), with an additional branch supplying the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) territory. The RCA and LCX arteries terminated distally in the left ventricular cavity forming a coronary cameral fistula. No flow-limiting stenosis was observed. Intervention versus medical management was discussed with a multidisciplinary team, and the decision was made to proceed with medical management. The patient’s symptoms improved with the medical management. Conclusion: A thorough diagnostic evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach in managing rare coronary anomalies are critical. Medical management, risk factor modification, and regular follow-up are essential components of long-term care for patients with complex coronary artery anomalies.

O envelhecimento saudável no plano plurianual 2024-2027 do Governo Federal: participação da sociedade para a construção de uma política nacional
Authors:   , Dumont Filipe Moreira
Published: October 2024

Objetivo da pesquisa: O presente estudo busca identificar as manifestações da sociedade brasileira orientadas à promoção do envelhecimento saudável comparando-as com os objetivos traçados no Plano de Ação Global da Década do Envelhecimento Saudável. Enquadramento Teórico: Para tanto, elaborou-se um estudo de abordagem qualitativa fundada na lente teórica da participação social e do envelhecimento saudável. Procedimentos metodológicos: O objetivo do trabalho permite classificá-lo como exploratório e descritivo. Os dados foram coletados a partir de documentos oficiais de organismos internacionais, relatórios, documentos oficiais do Governo Federal brasileiro e leis brasileiras. Assim, ao se debruçar sobre fontes primárias e secundárias reanalisadas conforme objetivo traçado, a pesquisa assume, também, o caráter documental. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo por meio da seleção de núcleos de sentido materializados em palavras e temas. Resultados: Os resultados indicam o relativo sucesso da experiência participativa no âmbito da elaboração do PPA 2024-2027 do Governo Federal, mas, por outro lado, evidenciam a baixa quantidade de manifestações da sociedade orientadas à promoção do envelhecimento saudável. As manifestações da sociedade que guardam pertinência com os objetivos traçados para a Década do Envelhecimento Saudável foram identificadas e sistematizadas de acordo com cada área de atuação disposta para a Década. Conduziu-se, portanto, a análise das manifestações da sociedade compatíveis com as ações dispostas para Década sob responsabilidade dos Estados, bem como se procedeu com a análise das ações sob responsabilidade dos Estados que não foram identificadas em manifestações da sociedade brasileira no âmbito da elaboração do PPA 2024-2027 do Governo Federal. Originalidade: A pesquisa, ao se debruçar sobre objetivos estabelecidos para a Década e buscar manifestações da sociedade compatíveis com estes objetivos, explora um campo ainda não desbravado pela academia. A singularidade deste estudo reside, portanto, na associação de elementos como o planejamento estatal, a participação social, e as políticas para o envelhecimento saudável que, comumente, são temáticas tratadas em separado. Contribuições práticas: Estabeleceram-se recomendações, amparadas nas ações para a Década e nas análises realizadas, para que a sociedade civil, em especial, os Conselhos de Direitos da Pessoa Idosa possam lutar pela promoção do envelhecimento saudável, sobretudo, em âmbito local esperando-se, assim, um impacto positivo proveniente de uma atuação engajada, embasada e fundamentada.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to describe the oral health status of schoolchildren, while focusing on the relationship between carious prevalence and the two risk factors which are obesity and passive smoking. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in primary school of Casablanca, Morocco. A total of 1003 schoolchildren aged between 6 to 12 years old were examined in their classrooms in daylight. The questionnaire was used to collect information about socio-demographic status, oral health practice consumption of sweets and passive smoking. Dental caries was assessed using the decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft, DMFT) index, and oral hygiene status by the simplified oral hygiene index OHI. The obesity was defined based to the measurement of BMI index. Results: The caries prevalence was 57.7% in temporary dentition and 43% in permanent dentition. The caries index was dmft= 2.44 and DMFT= 1.3. Higher Caries prevalence was associated with poor oral hygiene, increased consumption of sweets; however, caries prevalence in temporary and permanent dentition was lower in children with obesity (5,5% and 4,9% respectively), and exposed to passive smoking (25,4%,31,8% respectively).

Pre-surgical planning in orthognathic surgery is a process of vital importance for obtaining satisfactory results for both the clinician and the patient. There are different planning methods, among which 3D software is one of the most important. These allow precise observation of the movements of bone and soft tissue structures, which until recently could not be predicted. Despite its advantages, many specialists continue to plan using the 2D method. The aim of this paper is to present the discrepancies between 2D and 3D preoperative planning and the intraoperative results of 44 patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and, together with this, to expose the variables that possibly influence the occurrence of these differences.

Breeding varieties with high commercial and consumer qualities of fruits is one of the priority areas in the selection and variety study of domestic plum. Accordingly, the evaluation of some commercial and consumer qualities of fruits in plum varieties in the specific conditions of the mountains and foothills of the region is of great practical and scientific interest. Taking into account market requirements and the growth of consumer demand for fruit products, it is necessary to constantly update the range of plums. In this regard, varieties and hybrid forms of European plum for the subsequent selection of variety samples with high commercial characteristics have been studied (fruit weight, their uniformity and shape, cover color, aroma, pulp juiciness, taste, etc.). As a result of the studies, variety samples with the best commercial and taste properties of fruits have been selected. The following varieties have been distinguished by a high sugar content: Čačakska rannyaya - 18.8%, Grosso de Felicio - 16.5%, Big Heart - 14.7%, Milena - 13.8%, Velikiy Gertsog - 12.7%. The following varieties have been noted for the content of organic acids: Big Heart - 1.31%, Velikiy Gertsog - 1.1%, Milena - 0.92%, Čačakska rannyaya - 0.9%, Grossa de Felicio - 0.89%. Vitamin C is found in the highest amounts in the fruits of the following varieties: Big Heart – 7.85%, Grossa de Felicio – 6.34%, Angelina – 6.2%, Kyrgyzskaya Prevoskhodnaya – 5.34%. The size of the fruit is one of the characteristic varietal properties, despite the fact that it is largely determined by the cultivation conditions, the agricultural technology used, the age of the plant, its crop load, the variety-rootstock combination, as well as a number of other circumstances. The highest fruit weights are shown by the following varieties: Big Heart - 39.1 g, Kyrgyzskaya Prevoskhodnaya - 46.3 g, Zheltaya Afaska - 53.3 g, Zheltaya Large - 56.0 g, Kabardinskaya Rannyaya - 59.0 g, Fortuna - 65.1 g, Black Star - 78.7 g, Byron Gold - 84.2 g, Grossa de Felicio - 85.3 g, Angelina - 87.0 g, Ti Chi San - 97.1 g, Burbank Giant - 120.0 g.

Cereals and legumes have a porous structure, being an inert carrier during mass exchange processes; they contain voids in the form of pores and stomata, on the surface of which there are foreign extractable substances in a solid state, in particular, trypsin and urease inhibitor proteins. These substances, due to their harmful effect on the final product, are subject to removal by extraction. One of the methods for inactivating anti-nutritional substances is ultrasonic treatment of soybeans.

The article discusses the technology of inactivating inhibitors that worsen food and protein value of vital soybeans. The developed technology was aimed at dissolving a solid substance - soybean inhibitor protein in a liquid, carried out due to molecular diffusion, intensifying the processes of mass transfer and mass return. When creating a suspension by mixing the solid (crushed soybean grain) and liquid (water) phases, water molecules, which are a solvent, penetrate under the action of capillary forces into the pores and stomata of the treated body, begin to penetrate. On this basis, technological directions of research have been established, a sequence has been built and the physical essence of operations has been substantiated, consisting of four main ones - grinding soybean grain, creating a “water-soybean” suspension, ultrasonic (US) treatment of soybeans, drying. As a result of the conducted research, optimal technological parameters have been established for intensifying the process of inactivation of anti-nutritional substances contained in native soybeans: the degree of grinding of soybean grains is 0.5-1.0 mm; the ratio of water-soy suspension (1:1). The efficiency of the developed technological process will be factors affecting the quality of the resulting products, the duration and energy intensity of the process, resource conservation, simplicity of design and low cost of manufacture, the possibility of automation.

It is an undeniable fact that nutrition is an important and integral part of human life. Unfortunately, nutrition is not always complete and balanced. It has been established that only rational nutrition is the lever by which it is possible to ensure normal growth and development of the body. Food industry enterprises are trying to create exactly such conditions for adequate human adaptation to the regalia of the surrounding world, namely, they develop and produce specialized products that contribute not only to disease prevention, but also to a stable increase in mental and physical performance. Moreover, these activities do not contradict the state policy in terms of improving the health of the population, through the introduction of healthy nutrition products into the retail network, through various assistance to manufacturing enterprises (subsidies, grant support). Regarding manufacturers of milk-containing food products, the importance of which is undeniable, they quite actively promote product lines for certain segments of the population, for example, children, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly. The main objective of the research is to develop a technology for a milk-containing product (drinking yoghurt) that includes several functions important for humans, namely, functional, diabetic, probiotic ones. The product is given the specified functions by including scientifically substantiated components in the recipe, including those from non-traditional raw materials. Standard and individual research methods have been used to confirm the quality indicators of the finished product. The main results of the research include determining the type of plant material that meets the specified requirements and characteristics and contributes to giving the finished product additional properties (prebiotic, functional, diabetic). The final result of the research is obtaining a product that helps increase the body resistance to the negative environmental effects. The use of secondary plant materials for food purposes, which contributes to the design of a food product with a certain quality composition and specified consumer properties, in comparison with existing analogues, can be considered the novelty of the research.
