Published: December 2024

Background: Globally 2.73% of pregnant women suffer from hypertension. Currently, there is still a gap of knowledge in Zimbabwe on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy hence the present study.
Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. The structured checklist was used to extract data. HBP was measured two times on the right arm using an electronic device (OMRON HEM-7261) with an average of two readings. Patient records were used to collect secondary data from prenatal care visits and laboratory tests. We used simple random sampling methods to screen prenatal care records for pregnant women. All pregnant women at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in 2022 were eligible and constituted our study population. The sample size was determined statistically by power analysis using epidemiological information, this yielded a sample of 240. The Prevalence of HBP in pregnancy and risk factors were determined by Fisher exact test Graph Pad (Prism version6.0), P < 0.05 was set as statistically significant.
Results: 240 pregnant women were enrolled given a prevalence of HBP of 25%. Most pregnant women having HBP are 36 to 40 years old and located in urban areas (92%, n = 55). Gestational age 33 % (n = 5), Gravida 3-4 (33%, n = 13) Parity 3-4 (74%, n = 25), and Multiple Pregnancy (25%, n = 5) were the most associated with HBP. Pre-existing hypertension was the most common comorbidity 92%.Family history of HBP (OR = 4.62, 95%, CI = 1.4-15.1), p = 0.016) and age being < 30 years OR= 0.26, 95%, CI = 0.14-0.49), p = 0.0001) were associated with HBP.
Conclusions: The prevalence of HBP in pregnancy was higher (25%) than the worldwide prevalence of 2.7% and risk factors are mainly age and family history of HBP.

Association of oral health status with overweight and obesity in older adults aged ≥ 65 years- evidence from Chinese communities
Authors: Wu Kan , yin Wei , Liang Xinhua , Yang Zheng 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the association of poor oral health conditions, such as caries, tooth loss, and tooth loss, with overweight and obesity in older adults and to complement evidence from the Chinese community to confirm this association.
Methods: This retrospective study involved health examination and follow-up data of 953 older adults from the Sichuan Province of China from 2021 to 2023. Oral health status, namely the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, was used as the exposure factor, whereas body mass index (BMI) was used as the outcome indicator. The influence of confounding variables was controlled. BMI changes in older adults with different levels of oral health over 3 years were retrospectively followed up. Additionally, a Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine the association.
Results: Overweight and obesity were prevalent in 29.3% and 20.4% of older adults with poor and good oral health status, respectively (P<0.001). After controlling for the confounding factors, the Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that the DMFT index was associated with overweight or obesity (BMI) (hazards ratio=1.86, 95% confidence interval: 1.52–2.28). Overweight and obesity were less prevalent in older adults with fewer chronic diseases, higher frequency of physical exercise, and better oral health-related behaviors.
Conclusions: Oral health status is associated with overweight and obesity in older adults, particularly in those with caries, missing teeth, and tooth loss as the primary symptoms. These signs may lead to altered food choices and increase the risk of overweight and obesity.
The genetic specificity of specific cognitive abilities after controlling for general cognitive ability
Authors: Procopio Francesca , Keser Engin , Knyspel Jacob , Malanchini Margherita , rimfeld Kaili , Plomin Robert 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Diverse cognitive abilities correlate about 0.30 phenotypically and about 0.60 genetically. Their phenotypic overlap defines general cognitive ability (g), driven largely by genetic overlap. Consequently, much of our understanding of the genetic landscape of specific cognitive abilities (SCA) likely reflects g rather than the SCA themselves. Removing this g-associated genetic variance will sharpen research on SCA. Here, we use Genomic Structural Equation Modelling (Genomic SEM) to remove the shared genetic variance among 12 diverse SCAs that capture verbal and nonverbal cognitive domains. We applied Genomic SEM to summary statistics from the largest genome-wide association studies of verbal SCA (GenLang Consortium, 5 tests) and nonverbal SCA (UK Biobank, 7 tests) to chart the genetic landscape of the 12 SCA independent of g (SCA.g) as compared to uncorrected SCA. We found that SNP heritabilities were nearly as high for SCA.g as for SCA: the average SNP heritability was 0.16 (SE = 0.02) for SCA and 0.13 (SE = 0.02) for SCA.g. Despite this, we found that the genetic landscape of SCA is transformed after controlling for genomic g. The matrix of positive genetic correlations for SCA (average genetic correlation of 0.45 among our 12 tests) disappeared for SCA.g (average genetic correlation of -0.07) and included some strong negative correlations; for instance, Memory and Word (-0.72), Fluid and Symbol (-0.72), and Tower and Spelling (-0.79). The summary statistics of SCA.g can be used by researchers to create polygenic scores that focus on the specificity of specific cognitive abilities.

Authors: Grimov O. A. , Afanasyeva V. A. 
Published: December 2024

Relevance. Currently, the market for custom-made educational and scientific work is a large segment of the shadow economy characterized by significant volumes. In the structure of this market, we may observe the formation of special types of social and economic agents and their interaction practices. However nowadays both the essential social and economic characteristics of such employment and its cultural value aspects, which form the social subjectivity of the performers of the work, have not fully become the object of scientific reflection.The purpose is to study the social and economic aspects of employment in the field of contract work.Objectives: to reveal the theoretical and methodological foundations of actualization of employment for the performance of commissioned educational and scientific works in the general structure of freelancing; to specify the content of the main social and economic characteristics of the performance of commissioned works; to implement a typology of motivation of authors of commissioned works; to determine the current directions of further scientific research on the stated problem.Methodology. The article uses sociological concepts of post-industrial society and sociological theories of postmodernity. Special attention is paid to the provision of a number of basic general scientific methods, as well as modeling and generalization methods. The empirical basis of the study was the results of the author's sociological study conducted by the method of an expert online survey (N=50).Results. The employment volume in the sphere of contract work in the general structure of freelancing was considered in the article. The content of socio-economic characteristics of employment in the performance of commissioned works (at the personal and subjective levels) is revealed as well as the typology of value and motivational orientations of the authors of commissioned works was carried out.Conclusions. Pre-paid educational and scientific works tends to professionalize, though this sphere is hindered by the low average income from this customers. It is financial motivation that is predominant in the structure of work factors for the authors of commissioned works.
Social quality management: towards a new quality of life
Authors: Mayakova A. V. , Kamensky E. G. 
Published: December 2024

Relevance. Social quality management is an urgent area of research due to its novelty, unexplored nature and focus directly on the individual and society. There are no more significant things for a person than the material and spiritual world associated with him. In this regard, research aimed at understanding this world is relevant to today. What is this world? At what point does a significant event occur for the subject? What marks the changes in a person's life and personality? We have tried to answer these and other questions in this work.The purpose is to establish the relationship between the emergence of a new quality of life and the process of its management.Objectives: To achieve this goal, it is relevant to solve the following tasks: philosophical and methodological assessment of the grounds and consequences of quality change; identification of a key element of the process of social quality management and its philosophical interpretation; analysis of the possibility / necessity of a new quality of life in the process of social quality management.Methodology. To achieve this goal, the author uses in his work such methods and methodologies as the theory of complexity and the complexity approach, the concept of enactivism by F. Varela, E. Thompson and A. Noe.Results. Social quality management is a management system through the creation of conditions for the emergence of a new quality of life.Conclusions. Social quality management is expressed in the emergence of a new quality of life for a person (society) in a favorable environment formed by the quality mindset of a person (society). Quality-umwelt plays a leading role in the management process – the role of a managing link in any process of human activity (society), because all the meanings of life are concentrated in it.
Modern political myth: socio-ontological analyses
Authors: Bukin D. N. , Volokhova N. V. , Mednikova Yu. I. 
Published: December 2024

Relevance. The appeal to the topic of socio-ontological research of political myth is caused by the fact that in the conditions of rapidly becoming more complicated socio-political reality and the emergence of qualitatively new entities of social and political existence, conceptually holistic approaches to the study of political myth are practically not covered in Russian and world literature against the background of many political science, linguistic and socio-cultural studies.The purpose is to reveal the ontological essence of the political myth within the framework of its theoretical and practical application, taking into account the specifics of the social processes taking place in modern world politics.Оbjectives: to study the history of formation and the main approaches to the definition of the concept of "political myth"; to give a refined definition of the concept of "political myth" within the framework of our research; to conduct a categorical analysis of individual aspects of modern political reality; to formulate recommendations on the socio-ontological interpretation of modern political myth and work with it in world politics, diplomacy and public life.Methodology. Categorical-logical, system-structural, dialectical method, as well as hermeneutical and semantic analysis were used as a methodological basis.Results. The principles, strategies and approaches of social ontology in relation to the modern realities of world politics are analyzed.Conclusions. The results of our analysis have shown that the phenomenon of political myth has its own history of formation and study mainly in its connection with sociological, political science, socio-philosophical, socio-psychological and psycholinguistic studies. In the framework of this study, through the prism of social ontology, we consider both the dynamics and invariants of the processes of mythologization and myth-making, which are in a state of transition from "unipolarity" to "multipolarity". This is how we come to understand the political myth as a system of attributive and modal "coordinates" that define a model of a socio-political phenomenon or process in the context of power relations (co) subordination. The results obtained can be applied in lawmaking, diplomatic activities, "demythologization" and "peremythologization", teaching various courses, for example, on social and political philosophy.
The main approaches to assessing the comparability of ESG business practices in Russia
Authors: Mankevich Yu. V. 
Published: December 2024

Relevance. Sustainable Development Goals and ESG practices are an integral part of Russian business today. The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is aimed at meeting the interests of a wide range of stakeholders. To assess the ESG result, the business uses the services of rating agencies that compile ratings and rankings, providing a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the level of sustainable development of the company. However, the results obtained are often assessed by experts as irrelevant and have a number of disadvantages in terms of their comparability.The purpose is to show the variety of existing approaches and methods that are applicable in current conditions to assess the comparability of ESG practices.Objectives: to present the existing techniques and techniques for evaluating ESG practices; to analyze the bottlenecks in the existing methodological base for ESG assessment; to assess the prospects for further development of the methodology for evaluating ESG indicators and to make recommendations for the further development of the ESG assessment system in Russia.Methodology. The methodology presented by the author lies in the field of research of two sciences –sociology and economics. The application of an interdisciplinary approach allows using the expert interview method to identify the bottlenecks which are necessary for analysis and accounting, and the economic and statistical functionality will allow calculations that ensure comparability of the presented indicators.Results. As a result of the consideration of the main approaches to the assessment of ESG indicators the set of methods and techniques was identified, which forms the basis of the methodological base for evaluating ESG practices. An analysis of existing techniques has revealed a number of bottlenecks that require careful analysis and accounting. Assessing the need for comparability of ESG indicators, expert opinions were divided, which characterizes the ambiguity of the unification process of ESG indicators.Conclusions. Due to the changing geo-economic and geopolitical conditions, the angle of consideration of ESG practices in Russia has changed dramatically. The degree of government involvement has increased. In the current conditions, the development of methodological recommendations becomes particularly relevant when it comes to determining the proper Russian prerogatives of sustainability.

Authors: Alshanik Farah , Khasawneh Rawand , Dalky Alaa , Qawasmeh Ethar 
Published: December 2024

Background
The worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been profound, and the Arab world has not been exempt from its wide-ranging consequences. Within this context, social media platforms such as Twitter have become essential for sharing information and expressing public opinions during this global crisis. Careful investigation of Arabic tweets related to COVID-19 can provide invaluable insights into the common topics and underlying sentiments that shape discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective
This study aimed to understand the concerns and feelings of Twitter users in Arabic-speaking countries about the COVID-19 pandemic. This was accomplished through analyzing the themes and sentiments that were expressed in Arabic tweets about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
In this study, 1 million Arabic tweets about COVID-19 posted between March 1 and March 31, 2020, were analyzed. Machine learning techniques, such as topic modeling and sentiment analysis, were applied to understand the main topics and emotions that were expressed in these tweets.

Results
The analysis of Arabic tweets revealed several prominent topics related to COVID-19. The analysis identified and grouped 16 different conversation topics that were organized into eight themes: (1) preventive measures and safety, (2) medical and health care aspects, (3) government and social measures, (4) impact and numbers, (5) vaccine development and research, (6) COVID-19 and religious practices, (7) global impact of COVID-19 on sports and countries, and (8) COVID-19 and national efforts. Across all the topics identified, the prevailing sentiments regarding the spread of COVID-19 were primarily centered around anger, followed by disgust, joy, and anticipation. Notably, when conversations revolved around new COVID-19 cases and fatalities, public tweets revealed a notably heightened sense of anger in comparison to other subjects.

Conclusions
The study offers valuable insights into the topics and emotions expressed in Arabic tweets related to COVID-19. It demonstrates the significance of social media platforms, particularly Twitter, in capturing the Arabic-speaking community’s concerns and sentiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the prevailing discourse, enabling stakeholders to tailor effective communication strategies and address specific public concerns. This study underscores the importance of monitoring social media conversations in Arabic to support public health efforts and crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Challenges to Rehabilitation Services in Sub-Saharan Africa From a User, Health System, and Service Provider Perspective: Scoping Review
Authors: Cyuzuzo Callixte , Dukuzimana Marie Josee , Muhire Clement , Sheldon Ames Mathew , Ngwakongnwi Emmanuel 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Rehabilitation aims to restore and optimize the functioning of impaired systems for people with disabilities. It is an integral part of universal health coverage, and access to it is a human right.

Objective
We aimed to identify the key challenges to rehabilitation services in Sub-Saharan Africa from a user, health system, and service provider perspective.

Methods
This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the 5-stage framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. A comprehensive electronic search was run to identify published articles on rehabilitation services in Sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 131 articles retrieved, 83 articles were assessed for eligibility and 15 papers that met the inclusion criteria were considered.

Results
The results show that people with disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa face multifactorial challenges to access rehabilitation services. Poor access to rehabilitation services is associated with less attention given to rehabilitation by governments, which leads to less funding, negative cultural and social beliefs, fewer rehabilitation centers, poorly equipped rehabilitation units, failure of health systems, lack of training to rehabilitation practitioners, and logistical and financial constraints. This review also reveals that digital rehabilitation reduces costs and improves access to services in hard-to-reach geographical areas. However, digital rehabilitation faces challenges as well, including connectivity issues, inaccessibility to technology, a lack of technical knowledge, a lack of privacy, and ethical concerns.

Conclusions
People with disabilities face multifactorial challenges to access rehabilitation services in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is therefore critical to address these challenges to optimize patients’ health outcomes and offer better rehabilitation services.
