Authors: Jyoshna Muni
Published: July 2023

The present study aims to assess the relationship between Masculinity, Perceived stigma, Self-stigma and Help-seeking Behaviour among Indian Men of different age groups. A sample of 211 Indian men aged between 26 -55 years participated in the study. Multicultural Masculinity Ideology Scale (MMIS), Perceived Devaluation / Discrimination (PDD), Self-stigma of Seeking help (SSOSH, General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHQ).Were used to measure the variables in the study. Pearson correlation was used to find the correlation between Masculinity, Perceived stigma, Selfstigma and Help-seeking behaviour One-way ANOVA test was conducted to determine the significant difference between the ages with respect to help-seeking behaviour. The findings indicated that self-stigma was negatively correlated with Help-seeking behaviour. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between masculinity, perceived stigma, self - stigma, and help-seeking behavior among men from various age groups in India. Upon analyzing the data, the study revealed no significant associations between masculinity, perceived stigma, and help-seeking behavior. The research offers valuable insights into the connection between self-stigma and help-seeking behavior among Indian men. Firstly, the study reveals a significant negative relationship between self-stigma and the willingness to seek help. This underscores the significance of tackling self-stigma as a potential obstacle to men seeking the necessary support for mental health concerns.

Published: July 2023

India and United States are the world's two largest democratic countries with expertise in scientific and technical fields. India-US bilateral relationships have developed into a global strategic partnership over a period of time, Indo-US cooperation underwent a paradigm shift, especially after the 9/11incident with the issue of terrorism being a major focus area. Cooperation in counter-terrorism has seen considerable progress with intelligence sharing, information exchange, operational cooperation, counter-terrorism technology, and equipment. India-US Counter-Terrorism Cooperation Initiative was signed in 2010 to expand collaboration on counter-terrorism, information sharing, and capacity building. India's US cooperation in countering terrorism is the summary of this paper. This paper describes nuclear facilities, security, chemical confidentiality, and other critical infrastructures for monitoring emergency responses against terrorism. This paper also elaborates on the promising areas for further Indo- US cooperation. The current Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is another opportunity to build the Indo-US counter-terrorism pillar in an active mode. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Aug 17,met UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and discussed the situation in war-torn Afghanistan. Members of the US Congress, including many of President Joe Biden's fellow democrats, said they were increasingly frustrated with issues in Afghanistan and they vowed to investigate what went wrong. India and the US need to make use of the trust and confidence that they have built in their bilateral relationship and understand each other's core national security interests that shape their respective anti-terrorism goals

STYLE IN THE ARTISTIC WORK OF VYACHESLAV ZAITSEV
Authors: Marina V. Galkina
Published: July 2023

The global fashion industry has a jealous attitude towards young talents who overthrow the foundations through impressionism or deconstructivism. It is difficult to imagine what a revolution in the minds of people was made by our illustrious couturier Vyacheslav Zaitsev with his creative work. Numerous comparisons with foreign clothing designers confirm the fact that no one before him became a significant figure in the Russian design and modelling of clothing. The author provides reliable information, based on personal experience, that a galaxy of Vyacheslav Zaitsev's students follows his style - a unique luxury based on a deep understanding of the connection between the figure, shape, silhouette, texture, colour and pattern. The heritage of the Fashion House is a separate line in the history of Russian and world art. And these are not only industrial products and works of haute couture but also artistic costumes intended for outstanding performances of Moscow theatres. The article discusses the trends in the development of Soviet and Russian clothing design, as well as the creation of a fundamentally new approach to the artistic design of clothing, which required the formation of a new production culture from Vyacheslav Zaitsev. The designer’s thoughts were faced with the need to re-profile the production of clothing from a static concept of a planned system to an increase in consumer demand through the formation of a new cultural imperative - the beauty of an individual and, as a result, the beauty of society as a whole. The article presents the methods of working with the creative and pedagogical heritage of Vyacheslav Zaitsev and the activities of the Knyazhna Youth Theatre of Russian Costume of the State University of Education. At the present stage, the collection of historical and folk costumes of the Knyazhna theatre has more than 500 unique, hand-made samples - clothing complexes created over more than 30 years of teaching activity of Professor Galkina. The purpose of the article is to study the legacy of Vyacheslav Zaitsev as a teacher, fashion designer, artist, who had the gift of transforming the surrounding reality through art, based on an academic, multifaceted approach to the process of forming an organic synthesis of various areas of artistic creativity and clothing design. Leading modern fashion researchers define the influence of Vyacheslav Zaitsev on fashion design as a logical development of artistic and creative ideas in the difficult conditions of confrontation between the mass industrial system of clothing production and world-class spiritual and creative experiment.

Published: July 2023

The article considers the results of artificial intelligence testing to pursue the goal of stylizing traditional Indonesian ornament on gringsing fabric. The process of testing the Dream artificial intelligence by WOMBO is described in detail on the example of the stylization of the Cemplong ornament on gringsing fabric; the testing consisted of four stages. At the first stage, a photo of the ornament was uploaded, providing input data for further analysis and correction of the original image. At the second stage, the rendered ornaments in the original colours were uploaded to determine the effectiveness of the stylization process and further correction of the uploaded image. The third stage included uploading parts of the ornament, previously repainted in contrasting, nuanced and monochrome colours; variations were created which made it possible to predict the behaviour of the artificial intelligence Dream by Wombo at different specified settings, as well as to identify the colours that artificial intelligence recognizes best. At the last stage, 450 samples of stylizations were analysed and optimal visual styles and distortion level settings, at which the uploaded image is transformed, developing integral forms without artefacts, with clear contours in which the original symbolism is read, were identified. The best stylizations, applicable for use as elements of patterns for decorating industrial design products, including textiles, were selected. Using the tracing method, these elements were transferred to a vector format and repainted for more convenient application in practical projects. This made it possible to improve the quality of the stylized parts of the pattern. Further, the logic of pattern construction was set in the program and a 3D visualisation of the application of this pattern in textile production was created. It allowed us to get a visual idea of how the final product would look using a stylized with the help of artificial intelligence ornament. As a result of the research, an optimal algorithm for working with the Dream artificial intelligence by WOMBO, which can be used for high-quality stylization of traditional ornaments of different peoples, was created. This opens up new opportunities for innovative design solutions and inspires the creation of unique and attractive designs in various industries.

Introduction: Optic disc swelling (ODS) is a pathological condition with a variety of causes, including optic neuritis (ON), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, and papilledema. Determining the causes of ODS is critical due to the possibilities of vision-or life-threatening diseases, such as space-occupying lesions. Objective: To assess the clinical and radiology finding of Patients with Bilateral Optic Disc Swelling. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Ad-din Akij Medical College Hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh from January to June 2019. One hundred patients with bilateral disc swelling were selected as study population where bilateral disc swelling due to congenital disc anomaly, pseudo disc edema or need emergency medical care had been purposively excluded from the study. All patients were subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination, including visual acuity (VA), red saturation, bright sensitivity, color vision, and detailed slit lamp examination. All the information’s were recorded in a pre-designed data collection sheet. Results: Total 100 patients included in our study. Most commonly affected age group was between 21-30 years in which 32% case are observed, least common affected age group was 51-60 yr. in which 6% cases are observed. Male patients were 33% and female were 67%. The patients by presenting complaints were headache 71.0% followed by dimness of vision 63.0%. Nausea/ vomiting were present in 42.0% patients and ocular pain had 21 (21.0%) patients. Few (5.0%) had transient loss of vision. Among the patients who had IIH 34 (34%), ICSOL were 25(25%) and grade 4 Hypertensive retinopathy 9% respectively.

Published: July 2023

Boxing, wrestling, and bodybuilding are sports that require athletes to be highly conditioned from both endurance and strength perspective. Hence, the temptation to use performance enhancing substance has become rampant among athletes from these sports. Some of the athletes have tested positive for inadvertent doping after use of performance enhancing substances. This can be blamed on lack of knowledge, as well as attitudes developed by athletes. The purpose of this study was to establish knowledge levels, attitudes towards the use of performance enhancing substances (PES), among athletes from boxing, wrestling, and bodybuilding federations in Kenya. The study utilized cross-sectional analytical research design. The study population comprised of 1900 athletes from the three sports disciplines with a sample size of 384 athletes. Close ended questionnaires were used as the data collection instrument. Data obtained from the respondents was coded and organized for analysis by use of SPSS version 25. Hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVA and t-test at confidence level of 0.05. Post hoc analysis was carried out using Duncan Multiple Range Test where differences were found to be significant. Results on knowledge indicated that 44.8% of respondents reported that ADAK can advise them on which performance enhancing substances were safe to use. 14.3% reported that they thought PES bought from a pharmacy (over the counter) was safe. In addition, 90% reported that an athlete can be sanctioned for testing positive after taking a performance enhancing substance which they thought was safe. With regards to attitudes, 61.5% of the respondents disagreed that athletes are pressured to take performance enhancing substances. Majority of the respondents (81.5%) disagreed that performance enhancing substances and food supplements should be legalized. Many respondents (95.8%) disagreed that athletes have no alternative career choices except sports, which was a positive attitude. Inferential results on one way ANOVA indicated significant differences in knowledge levels at F (2, 381) = 19.631, p<0.001 and attitudes at F (2, 381) = 25.605, p<0.001 three sports disciplines. In conclusion, knowledge and attitudes of athletes from the three sports disciplines were significantly different. The study recommended that sports federation officials from boxing, wrestling and bodybuilding should have a put proper structures for imparting knowledge and proper attitude on use of performance enhancing substances among athletes.

Published: July 2023

Triumfetta cordifolia is used in traditional medicine to treat inflammation in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, however, the aqueous methanol extract of T. cordifolia leaves have not been explored scientifically to confirm this ethno-medicinal claim using animal model. In this study, aqueous methanol extract of T. cordifolia leaves was tested for its anti- inflammatory properties and the profiling of flavonoid components using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy was performed utilizing a rat model of formalin-induced paw edema. The extract's anti-inflammatory effectiveness against formalin-induced paw edema revealed notable anti-inflammatory effects. The percentage inhibition of the extract at the dose of 500 mg/kg with 10.69% inhibition was comparable to the standard drug aspirin with 10.69% inhibition while the dose of 100 and 250 mg/kg has higher percentage inhibition (13.58%) in comparison with the standard drug aspirin (10.69%) at same time interval all in the curative measure. The major flavonoid compounds from the HPLC analysis include kaempferol, quercitrin, (+) - catechin, luteolin, quercetin, myricetin, hesperidin, narigin, apigenin and rutin. Thus, it can be suggested that the high content of flavonoids may be responsible for the anti-inflammatory activities exhibited by the methanol extract of T. cordifolia. Therefore, the results obtained in this study shows that the methanol leaf extract of T. cordifloia possess potent anti-inflammatory activity in acute inflammation.
Legitimisation of Language in 2022 ASUU vs FGN Impasse
Authors: C Ezirim
Published: July 2023

Every functional society consists of active shareholders (the leaders and the lead) whose activities are complimentary and must be constantly synergistic. In the event that the required cohesion is to be disturbed, the spectrum inviting such typically owes the other segments of society some form of explanation for such an action. Consequently, this study sets to investigate the linguistic resources deployed for legitimisation in ASUU’s press release of March,2020. To achieve this, Paul Cap’s (2005,2006) Spatial, Temporal and Axiological (STA) model of legitimisation was deployed to analyse for proximisation in the corpus. It was found that the linguistic resources used in the speech represented predominant instances of Spatial, Temporal and Axiological dimensions; ASUU deployed linguistic features for positive proximisation to justify their claims for an extended (indefinite) strike action and negative proximisation when expressing their existential realities, with the Nigerian federal government, in the education sector. The study concludes that judging from the gory realities in the education sector (which ASUU is seen to strongly advocate against), ASUU’s insistence on the federal and state governments to adequately fund the sector is deserving of the needed attention. To this end, it is hoped that the education sector will receive a big boost, if ASUU’s educational gatekeeper role is taken seriously by the concerned relevant stakeholders (government or school proprietors).

Published: July 2023

Anthropometry can be defined as the art and science of measurements of physical dimensions of parts or whole of human body. Cephalofacial measurement is an important anthropometry, which generates data that form important indices for studying brain growth and formation of facial types. This descriptive study involves 390 Ogoni Children (215 males and 175 females) between the ages of 5-12 years. Since very few studies have been done on Nigerian infants, the aim of this study is to evaluate the Cephalofacial morphology of Ogoni Children and describe sexual dimorphism among the population study. The length and width of the head and face of each subject was measured to determine the cephalic Index and facial Index of each subject and evaluate the prevalent head and face type of the population study. The results showed that mean values of the cephalic and facial indices were higher for males than females. The mean cephalic Index values were 71.85±3.79 and 71.79±3.86 for males and females respectively. The difference in these values were not found to be statistically significant and thus cannot be useful in describing sexual dimorphism among the study population (p>0.05). The mean facial Index values were 85.35±6.05 and 83.86±4.86 for males and females respectively. The difference found in these values were statistically significant (p<0.05) and thus was useful in describing sexual dimorphism. The results also showed that dolichocephalic head type was the most prevalent with males (47.44%) having a higher percentage prevalence than females (41.71%), while euryprosopic facial type was the most prevalent with females (42.29%) having a higher percentage prevalence than males (37.21%).

Published: July 2023

Background: Nasal foreign body (NFB) refers to an object which lodges into nasal cavity. A case of 11 years old boy who presented at our clinic with a three year history of nasal bromihidrosis and discharge from the nostrils was reported by the parents, and added that it was persistent since one year ago. Methods: A dark object was visualized at the turbinate of the right nostril. The visible object was sounded with a forceps extractor to confirm the nature of the object. The nose was swabbed; debris cleaned and with the forceps extractor a gentle traction was carried out as the forceps grabbed the object. There was little or no resistance but two attempts to grab the object failed. On the third attempt, the forceps was able grip the object firmly and on pulling, the object was gently extracted from the area of impaction behind the right turbinate. Conclusion: The NFB was observed to be a stone embedded with purulent nasal discharge. This case emphasizes the need for parents and caregivers to be aware of the complications associated with presence of NFBs and need to seek prompt medical attention.

Published: July 2023

Acute pancreatitis associated with pregnancy occurs mostly in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy or during the immediate postpartum period, mainly caused by biliary lithiasis. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 1000 to 3000 pregnancies [1]. Maternal and fetal mortality due to acute pancreatitis occurring during pregnancy has fallen in recent years thanks to medico-technical advances in intensive care units with better management of severe attacks and better management of premature newborns. The clinical presentation is often atypical in pregnant women and the possibilities of imaging and surgery are limited. Acute pancreatitis can be treated medically but surgery becomes necessary if there is no improvement under medical treatment.

Authors: Jadhao Renuka , R Srinidhi S , Srinivasan Aishwarya , Jaggi Prakriti
Published: July 2023

Background: The complexity of the root canal system makes it difficult to completely disinfect is the leading cause for endodontic retreatment. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the traditionally used irrigation solution and has improved its efficacy with various adjuncts. The use of lasers in disinfecting the canal system has come into prominence in recent years. Aim: To assess the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and Er, Cr: YSGG laser against E faecalis biofilm. Methodology: A systematic search was conducted using a search strategy in PubMed and Google scholar for studies published between 1st January 2011 and 21st March 2022. Hand searching of relevant articles in Institutional library was also performed. Comparative in vitro studies in English language or articles in other languages which had a possibility of translation into English comparing sodium hypochlorite and Er, Cr: YSGG laser for irrigation against E faecalis biofilm were included in the review whereas, studies comparing efficacy against biofilm other than E faecalis, comparison with other laser activated intracanal irrigation, data reported through letter to editors, short communications and conference proceedings were excluded from the review. Results: A preliminary search yielded a total of 67 studies of which seven articles giving 11 estimates were included for qualitative synthesis. Data on colony forming units for both the groups (sodium hypochlorite and Er, Cr: YSGG laser) was extracted. Overall, four studies presented significant difference in the effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite and Er, Cr: YSGG laser whereas three studies presented with no difference among the two groups. Conclusion: Irrigation of root canal by sodium hypochlorite and Er, Cr: YSGG laser activation both prove to be effective in reducing the E faecalis colony forming units. However, it is difficult to provide a conclusive statement on the superiority of Er, Cr: YSGG laser activated irrigation over sodium hypochlorite solution as half of the studies gave contrasting results. Future studies with larger sample size on complex anatomical root structure are recommended.

Napjaink megnövekedett politikai feszültségeinek köszönhetően globális szinten vált kritikussá az energiabiztonság garantálása. Jelentősen felértékelődött emiatt az energiadiverzifikációs programok és a fenntarthatósági kezdeményezések szerepe. Kiemelten figyelemre méltó emiatt az az előrehaladás, ami Szaúd-Arábiában figyelhető meg a nagyobb energiahatékonyság és ellenállóképesség elérése terén a Saudi Vision 2030-ban megfogalmazott célokkal összhangban. A Szaúdi Zöld Kezdeményezés rendkívül perspektivikus elképzeléseket foglal magában ezzel kapcsolatban a zöld és a kék hidrogén hasznosítására, illetve a nukleáris energiaprogram továbbfejlesztésére, amihez a régió földrajzi viszonyai kimondottan kedvezőek. A tervek megvalósulásával Szaúd-Arábia nemcsak a saját szükségleteit tudja biztosítani, hanem akár a megbízható és megfizethető energia jelentős exportőrévé is válhat a jövőben. Az energiaátállás és a zöld célok megvalósítása egyúttal lehetőséget teremt az innovációra is a megújuló energiaforrások fejlesztésére és a már meglévő támogató hálózat korszerűsítésére, valamint a hatékonyabb energiafelhasználás kialakítására a lakossági fogyasztók körében, az iparban vagy éppen a közlekedésben. A környezetbarát energia fejlesztését, előállítását és bővítését a szaúdi állam széleskörű nemzetközi együttműködés keretében kívánja végrehajtani. Közös beruházásokat, kutatási programokat és képzéseket alakított ki és indít jelenleg is a közel-keleti és észak-afrikai térségben, amivel a régió energiaátalakulásának vezetőjévé válhat. Mindezek után jelen tanulmányban a szerzők célja a Szaúdi Zöld Kezdeményezés lényegi elemeinek, eddigi eredményeinek és várható kihatásainak bemutatása, különös tekintettel a szén-dioxid kibocsátás csökkentésére, a természeti erőforrások hasznosítására, a nukleáris energia hatékonyabb felhasználásra, valamint a mindezek érdekében kifejtett nemzetközi együttműködésre.
