Published: August 2020

An atrial septal defect (ASD), sometimes called a hole in the heart is a type of congenital heart defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the dividing wall between the upper filling chambers of the heart (the atria). To determine the outcome of surgical closure in patients with atrial septal defects, we designed a retrospective study, including 120 patients present with an atrial septal defect after surgical closure done in the cardiac teaching center in Sulaimani city. The data collected include the patients that admitted which are known cases of ASD and treated by open heart surgery during the last nine years from 1st of January 2008 until the 1st of January 2018. A total of 120 children diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) were included in this study with a mean age of 7.8±4.4 years; 32.5% of them were 1-5 years old, 50.8% of them were in the age group 6-12 years, and 16.7% of them were in the age group 13-19 years. Only three ASD children received medical treatment while all of them were treated surgically with open-heart surgery. The mean age of ASD children at surgery was7.8±4.4 years; 5.8% of them were 1-2 years old, 28.4% of them were 3-5 years old, 49.1% of them were in the age group 6-12 years, and 16.7% of them were in the age group 13-19 years. There was a significant association between primum ASD type and large ASD with posteroinferior deficient rims (P=0.04). A significant association was observed between primum ASD type and large IAS (P=0.006). Mean ASD diameter was significantly higher among patients with primum ASD type (P=0.01). The outcome of surgical closure of the atrial septal defect in children is effective and safe. Ventricular arrhythmia in the form of ectopic was the postoperative complication in one patient. The main echocardiography findings of children with atrial septal defects were large ASD with posteroinferior deficient rims.
SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE REQUIREMENT OF QURANIC PSYCHOTHERAPY MODEL: PAEDOPHILIA RECOVERY FOUNDATION
Authors: Usman Abur Hamdi , Razi Shahabudin Muhammad Fakhrur , Guleng Marlon Pontino , Muhamat@Kawangit  
Published: August 2020

Purpose of the study: This article intends to review the pieces of literature on Quranic psychotherapy for the rehabilitation of paedophilia.
Methodology: For this article, content analysis has been used to discuss the data from documents, such as books, journals, and other related materials which had been reviewed and referred to Quran as the main source.
Main Findings: This article found that the essential need for Quranic psychotherapy for the rehabilitation of paedophilia and the development of a special module to curb this issue in Malaysia.
Applications of this study: This article can be useful for government, academia, psychotherapist, parents, etc. to build and apply the module together and prevent this paedophile crime from continuing to occur.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Only a very few have examined the children who often become victims of sexual abuse. Children also often misunderstood the meaning of affection shown by adults. Thus, this opportunity used by some parties to exploit the meaning of love so that crimes like paedophilia occurs. Also, sexual abuse affects the psychological well-being of the perpetrator and the victims of paedophilia, thereby changing their sexual orientation.

Eat This! How Fast-Food Marketing Gets You to Buy Junk (and How to Fight Back) by A. Curtis
Authors: MacLeod Kaia 
Published: August 2020

Curtis, Andrea. Eat This! How Fast-Food Marketing Gets You to Buy Junk (and How to Fight Back). Illustrated by Peggy Collins. Red Deer Press, 2018.
Andrea Curtis’s first children’s book was What’s for Lunch? What school children Eat around the World, and her latest book Eat This!: How fast Food marketing gets you to buy junk (and how to fight back) is written for the modern family. It talks about product placement, ads on the internet, the all-natural myth of orange juice and more. Even though this book is word-heavy (there is a glossary) there are bright colourful pictures, by Peggy Collins, accompanying almost every page. However, they cannot show the advertising of the actual products they want to talk about. So a box of frosted flakes becomes sugar rings with a tiger mascot, and any clown can represent McDonald's.
Intermittently, it has real-world examples of people fighting fast-food marketing around the world. For example, the Game Changer campaign in Australia, which focuses on the ads in cricket for junk food, alcohol, and gambling. At the end of the book, there is a list of things to try to challenge fast food and marketing strategies. Their goal is to get the reader engaged with what they have just read, offering examples such as potlucks that celebrate diversity, or observing your favourite show for product placement.
There are also multiple facts sprinkled into the book like how part of Philadelphia's soda tax is used for improving parks, or how Peru has banned junk food in schools. Overall the book discusses an important topic that is all too relevant in the age of the internet. Better yet, its goal is getting children to engage with advertising in a critical way. Children will benefit from the book, as it explains how advertisers don’t always have our best interests at heart and can help open a dialogue with adults on the subject.

Mr. Mergler, Beethoven, and Me by D. Gutnick
Authors: Aitken Leslie 
Published: August 2020

Gutnick, David. Mr. Mergler, Beethoven, and Me. Illustrated by Mathilde Cinq-Mar. Toronto: Second Story Press, 2018.
In this lovely picture book, David Gutnick explores an episode in the life of Canadian music teacher, Daniel Mergler. The first person narrator of the story is a musically gifted young girl whose family has emigrated from China. Like many immigrant families, hers is struggling financially; there is no money for music lessons. By chance, the girl and her father meet Mr. Mergler during a pleasant outing in a park. The encounter leads to the child’s musical instruction and, as well, her enduring affection for Beethoven. Gutnick concludes his book with end notes: the first leaves no doubt as to the giftedness, kindness, and generosity of Daniel Mergler; the second, a brief biography of Ludwig van Beethoven, will be helpful to young readers unacquainted with classical music.
Because the author claims to be only “inspired by” a true story, we must assume that at least some of the specific details of the plot are fictionalized. Still, the book is based on a CBC documentary, “Beethoven’s Bust,” which Gutnick prepared for broadcast (it was aired as a segment of the CBC radio program, “The Sunday Edition” in 2014). However fictionalized, the story seems real.
Interestingly, the child narrator is never named—perhaps because she is a composite figure, perhaps because Gutnick wishes to protect the privacy of his “sources.” Nonetheless, through the delicate drawings of Mathilde Cinq-Mar, we, the readers, come to know this child: we feel her sense of bliss as she flies through the air on a swing in the park; we admire her determination and certainty as she carols “Oh Susanna…” in her “audition” for Mr. Megler; we understand her rapt delight as she begins to master the piano keyboard, producing sounds that “…make everything else disappear.” An inspired touch is Cinq-Mar’s use of musical staves to create curved and sweeping pathways into the illustrated pages. The technique results in a perfect marriage of artwork and text. In sum, Mr. Mergler, Beethoven, and Me is a well-crafted, captivating, and heart-warming book that would be very suitable for independent readers in the upper primary and elementary grades.

Hand Over Hand by A. Fullerton
Authors: MacLeod Lorisia 
Published: August 2020

Fullerton, Alma. Hand Over Hand. Illustrated by Renné Benoit. Second Story Press, 2017.
Award-winning author of A Good Trade and In a Cloud of Dust, Alma Fullerton returns with another excellent picture book about a young Filipina girl who goes against gender stereotypes to go fishing with her grandfather. In Hand Over Hand, Nina convinces her grandfather, Lolo, to take her out fishing and with her determination and Lolo’s support she manages to catch a large fish. The story is portrayed through simple phrases with occasional onomatopoeia in large contrasting font on Benoit’s soft watercolour images to invoke a quietly empowering story.
I would recommend this book for educators and librarians not only because of the non-tokenizing nature of the representation of the Philippines or the theme of gender equality but also because of the way the illustrations and the story blend together to create a perfect storytime book for early readers to share or read alone. The illustrations are rich enough that early level readers will be entertained while the repetitive nature of the phrases and the vocabulary make it an excellent choice to grow a reader’s confidence. It also has the potential to be laddered into an activity where learners create a story of their own and use watercolours to illustrate their story which could appear to higher-level educators looking for an English and/or Art project for their classes.

How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? by V. Bayer
Authors: Laskosky Jenn 
Published: August 2020

Bayer, Vanessa. How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? Illustrated by Rosie Butcher. New York: Macmillan Publishing, 2019.
Vanessa Bayer’s How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? provides young readers with advice on how to deal with and help their friends who are facing a difficult illness. The book offers suggestions and advice for young children, but also reminds them that even though their friend is sick, they are still their friend. Bayer’s story provides examples of the simple gestures that friends can make when helping each other.
The illustrations by Rosie Butcher are bright, colourful, and simple. Butcher illustrates common activities that friends would do together, which makes them relatable to children even though the characters are bears. The illustrations take up most of the page and provide young readers with a lot to explore. The text throughout the book is simple and easy to read.
Bayer’s story tackles a difficult topic, but she presents it in a way that is easy for children to understand. Her use of bears as her main characters helps to soften the impact of a difficult topic to approach with children. However, Bayer is also honest with her portrayal of illness, which offers children a realistic view of what to expect.
This book can be very useful for children who have a friend facing a difficult illness. Additionally, it can be useful to parents when explaining illnesses to their children. With that in mind, I would recommend it for elementary school and public libraries.

Sockeye Silver, Saltchuck Blue by R.H. Vickers & R. Budd
Authors: Borle Stephanie 
Published: August 2020

Vickers, Roy Henry, and Robert Budd. Sockeye Silver, Saltchuck Blue. Illustrated by Roy Henry Vickers. Harbour Publishing Co. Ltd., 2019.
This picture book by Indigenous artist Roy Henry Vickers and author Robert Budd, is designed to teach young children about elements of nature found on the Canadian west coast. Roy Henry Vicker’s beautiful illustrations draw the reader’s attention to the main theme of each page (e.g., whales, sea stars, sunsets, mountains, snow, the northern lights). Each page has its own colour theme and a specific colour is always mentioned (e.g., “yellow salmonberries", “purple sea stars”, “sunset red”). There are textured images allowing children to touch and feel something on every page. The book is printed on thick board pages, making it resistant to wear and tear and easier for young readers to flip through on their own. The colours and illustrations are vivid and are engaging for both children and adults. Most of the vocabulary is appropriate for younger readers, while the more difficult words serve as an opportunity to learn the names of west coast plants and animals, the names of different colours and the use of adjectives. In addition, the book has an abundance of words that start with the letter “s” which makes it a valuable resource for children who need practice producing the “s” sound. This book is recommended for teaching children, as young as two, about nature, and it should be available in school and public libraries.

Authors: Ulfah Esti Sudaria , Rahardja Boedi Setya , Pursetyo Kustiawan Tri 
Published: August 2020

Ocean pollution occurs because of the concentration of population, tourism and industrialization in the coastal areas, causing contamination of the water ecosystem by heavy metals, one of them is cadmium (Cd). Existence of heavy metals in the water can be accumulated in aquatic organisms, especially blood shells. Its dangerous for human that consumed them. The purpose of this study is to know the contents of cadmium (Cd) in blood shells, water, sediments and to determine the relation of blood shell’s size with the contents of cadmium (Cd) in the Bancaran Coastal, Bangkalan, Madura. Research methods that used was observations method. The main parameters that observed are the contents of cadmium (Cd) in sea water, sediment and blood shells in the Bancaran Coastal. Supporting parameters that observed are water quality include temperature, p H, salinity, DO and brightness. Data analysis is used to find relations of the data that obtained (regression-correlation). The results showed that the contents of cadmium (Cd) of large blood shells are higher than the small and medium blood shells and there is relat ion between the size of the blood shells with the contents of cadmium (Cd). The water quality of Bancaran Coastal are the temperature 28oC-29oC, pH 7-8, salinity 30 ppt, the brightness 30 cm and DO 5 mg/l.

Aim: In this research xylovolatile aromatic compounds were determined to highlight any compositional differences between wines aged in barrels and those produced using oak chips.Methods and results: Approximately 200 wines aged using oak chips or wood barrels were analysed, among which about 50 were aged at the experimental winery of the Research Centre of Viticulture and Enology in Asti (Piedmont, Italy). 17 different types of commercial oak chips were used in order to obtain a subset of reference samples. Several factors were considered, including degree of oak wood toasting, wood geographical origin and the type of wine (both red and white). Sample preparation for GC-MS analysis was performed by single-step solid phase extraction, using polymeric SPE cartridges. More than 60 volatile molecules from oak were identified. Analytical results were explained using multivariate statistical analysis. A preliminarily step was carried out using principal component analysis (PCA), which showed interesting compositional differences between barrel and chip-aged wines with regards to methylvanillate, ethylvanillate, as well as furan derivative compounds. Further statistical analysis highlighted the clear impact of the type of wine (red or white) on the extraction of xylovolatile compounds from oak chips. Subsequently, in order to test if and how the selected chemical explanatory variables allow wine treatments to be discriminated, and to predict which group a new observation will belong to, a discriminant analysis (DA) was carried out on an independent dataset. More than 96 % of samples were correctly classified.Conclusions: Significant differences were highlighted between barrel- and chip-aged wines with regards to xylovolatile compounds. The analysis showed that several factors may influence the amount of aromatic compounds extracted from chips and barrels, especially the matrix composition. It was possible to deduce the aging process that the wines had undergone by selecting key molecules using multivariate methods.Significance and impact of the study: Via a suitable GC-MS method and a chemometric approach for the identification of discriminant xylovolatiles in wood aged wines, this study offers promising perspectives and useful tools for routine fraud inspection aiming at classifying wines according to their aging process.
Le polymorphisme génétique des principales lactoprotéines bovines. Relations avec la quantité, la composition et les aptitudes fromagères du lait
Authors: GROSCLAUDE F. 
Published: August 2020

Quatre des six protéines principales du lait de vache (caséines αS1, βet κ et β-lactoglobuline) présentent dans les populations au moins deux variants génétiques identifiables par électrophorèse. L’inventaire de ce polymorphisme a été effectué dans 21 races bovines françaises, où les variants les plus fréquents sont αS1 -Cn B et C pour la caséine αS1 , (β-Cn A1 , A2 et B pour la caséine β, κ-Cn A et B pour la caséine κ, et β-Lg A et B pour la β-lactoglobuline. Les particularités biochimiques des principaux variants sont connues. Les gènes de structure des caséines αS1, αS2, β et κ sont très étroitement liés, de sorte que l’unité génétique de transmission est l’haplotype, combinaison comprenant un allèle de chacun des quatre locus. Le locus de la β-lactoglobuline a un effet majeur sur le taux de cette protéine dans le lait (β-Lg A > β-Lg B), qui se répercute sur le taux d’ensemble des protéines du lactosérum. Ces différences étant compensées par des différences en sens inverse du taux de caséine totale, l’allèle β-Lg B a un effet favorable sur ce taux de caséine et sur l’indice de caséine du lait (+ 2,5 à 3 %). Par rapport au variant κ-Cn A, le variant κ-Cn B confère au lait de meilleures aptitudes fromagères : temps de coagulation et temps de raffermissement du caillé plus courts, caillé mieux réticulé et plus ferme, et, pour certains types de fromages, rendement de fabrication supérieur (4 à 8 % entre les laits des deux homozygotes). Les effets du variant β-Cn B vont dans le même sens que ceux du variant κ-Cn B. L’intérêt et les conditions d’une prise en compte de ce polymorphisme dans la sélection laitière restent à évaluer.
Estimation de la composition tissulaire des carcasses de porcs : récapitulatif de diverses méthodes utilisables en expérimentation
Authors: DESMOULIN B. , ECOLAN P. , BONNEAU M. 
Published: August 2020

La mesure directe de la composition tissulaire des carcasses, par dissection anatomique complète, est longue et coûteuse. On se contente donc en général d’estimer les teneurs en muscles et en gras à partir de mesures indirectes : épaisseurs de gras ou de muscles, poids des pièces de découpe, résultats de dissections partielles et/ou simplifiées. A partir des données mesurées sur deux échantillons de carcasses porcines, nous avons élaboré quatre scénarios de mesures, de complexité et de coût croissant. Ils permettent d’estimer avec une précision croissante les poids et proportions de muscles et de gras dans la demi carcasse ainsi que le pourcentage de muscles dans la carcasse entière, correspondant à la norme européenne à la base du classement commercial des carcasses porcines. En fonction de ses objectifs et de l’enveloppe financière dont il dispose, l’expérimentateur peut choisir l’une ou l’autre des méthodes proposées. Les équations des 2 scénarios les plus simples sont bien adaptées aux carcasses dont les teneurs en muscles sont aux alentours de 50 %, mais devront être réévaluées pour s’adapter aux types génétiques produisant des carcasses au-delà de 52-53 % de muscles. Les 2 scénarios les plus complexes ont par contre un domaine de validité plus large.
