Published: December 2024

Background: Puerperal psychosis is a psychiatric disorder that is prevalent in women in their postpartum period, although it’s not very common. It has an adverse impact on their mental health, leading to neglect of their newborns.
Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the lived experiences of women who have recovered from psychosis following childbirth.
Materials and Methods: This phenomenological qualitative study adopted an exploratory approach and was conducted at Jinnah Medical College Peshawar from July 1st to December 31st, 2023. Data was collected from 15 patients through non-probability purposive sampling. These women presented to the psychiatry OPD for follow-up visits and were previously admitted to the psychiatry unit of Jinnah Medical College, Peshawar, for postpartum psychosis. Those diagnosed cases who had recovered from postpartum psychosis were selected, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them to explore their lived experiences in detail. The data was analyzed by manual thematic analysis.
Results: Data collected showed that women who had given birth recently suffered from severe depression having melancholy and grief. Their daily behavior was greatly affected by this ailment, and they were unable to function properly and look after their babies. Eight themes were identified from the data, which were severe depression, suicidal tendency, violent behavior, hallucinations, delusional beliefs, mood swings, disorientation, and bizarre thoughts.
Conclusion: Suicidal and infanticide ideations are the important aspects of this study that can put the lives of mothers and babies in danger. This illness negatively affects women's mental health, resulting in their neglecting their newborns.
Aplicación de la ilustración e imaginería visual de una obra literaria clásica en educación artística
Authors: Marqués Ana María 
Published: December 2024

Las ilustraciones de obras literarias clásicas pueden considerarse un subgénero artístico con gran influencia en la cultura popular a lo largo de la historia. Creemos que su uso en educación artística permite explorar nuevos métodos de educación a través del arte, más allá del modo en qué se puede enseñar artes visuales a lo largo de la historia de la educación (Efland, 2002). Este artículo trata sobre la aplicación de las representaciones artísticas de la obra de Dante en educación artística aplicadas en posgrado y primaria. Se expone primero una panorámica histórica en ilustración de las aportaciones artísticas más significativas de autores que interpretan los cantos de la Divina Comedia, después se describe una actividad práctica con metodología de aprendizaje basado en proyectos, diseñada para alumnos de posgrado y de primaria que toma a la Divina Comedia como base de partida. En la actividad primeramente se revisa la obra de ilustradores clásicos que la han representado y después los estudiantes crean sus dibujos inspirándose en su imaginario con extractos del texto de la obra. En este proceso, se logra un acercamiento natural a una obra clásica, trabajando sobre partes específicas de la misma.
Los resultados de la experiencia confirman que con estos proyectos el alumnado se familiariza con los múltiples valores culturales de una obra de la literatura clásica universal, se fomenta su lectura y adquiere herramientas para interpretar a los personajes, pasajes y representaciones espaciales de la obra. El enfoque parece aplicable a otras obras clásicas literarias tanto cercanas (Bodas de sangre, El Quijote) como lejanas (La Odisea, mitologías nórdicas).

Published: December 2024

The measurement of industrial noise pollution level of selected construction sites within residential area in Obio/Akpo Local Government Area of Rivers State has been carried out. The noise level meter with range of 30.0 - 80.0 dBA. (BK Precision 732, IEC 651 TYPE II) was use in measuring the sound level of the selected construction sites. Four (4) selected construction sites was considered for the measurement of industrial noise pollution of the construction sites. The obtained results of the selected construction sites vary from 77.40 - 81.25 dBA, 77.0 - 80.90 dBA, 75.4 - 81.15 dBA, 67.30 – 81.90 dBA with mean of 79.77 dBA, 77.41 dBA,79.53 dBA, 70.21 dBA for Plus Steel, Zortex, Darlington and Gift Construction Site respectively. Higher noise pollution level was obtained from Pius Steel Construction site with mean of 79.77 dBA and the least noise level was recorded at Gift Construction Site with mean value of 70.21 dBA. The obtained results of the selected construction sites were higher than the stipulated value of 65.0 dBA and 55.0 dBA decibels for industrial and residential area recommended by NESREA (2009). The noise percentage of the construction sites is of the increasing order of Gift, Pius < Zortex < Darlington < Pius Steel Construction Sites and the least percentage was obtained in Gift construction site while the higher noise percentage was recorded in Pius Steel Construction site with 27% increment. The obtained noise pollution level of the selected construction sites within the study area shows that the workers and the residential area are exposed to high noise level. The obtained result may not pose any immediate health risk but an individual who may spent his/her life time within the area, may develop hearing impairment in the nearer time due to over exposure to noise pollution level within the immediate environment and construction sites should be located outside the residential area.
Legal and Ethical Challenges in Age Assessment of Asylum Seekers: Personal Data Protection Implications in the EU
Authors: STYLIADOU Artemis A. 
Published: December 2024

Despite the strong effect of the objectives and principles of the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) has failed to achieve a uniform data protection policy throughout the European Union, the necessary legal certainty, and the protection of human beings concerning the processing of personal data, which is the objective of the Regulation. In this context, this article offers reflections on some of the ethical and methodological issues involved in the age assessment of unaccompanied minors who are asylum seekers. Focusing upon ethical approval problems and using a variety of methodological tools (such as studying articles of international references, taking interviews from experts, and making visits to NGOs) I demonstrate forward key recommendations in which the age assessment can be conducted with the respect of the best interest of the child and without any legal or moral dilemmas. The suggestions proposed in this article are sustainable for at least for the following five years and tailored to the needs and experiences of the children involved. This article aims to present an innovative database system, which will be established and controlled under the auspices of the European Union and record all the entries and exits of asylum seekers who declare to be unaccompanied minors, since their arrival at α Reception and Identification Center of a member state of European Union. Lastly, because medical age assessment is done for no therapeutic or medical purpose, many medical experts view it as extremely intrusive and unethical, particularly when done by radiography. It is crucial to do an ethical assessment of the dental age estimation carried out by these radiographic techniques using the four biomedical ethics principles (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice).

Published: October 2021

AbstractAppropriate deciphering and translation of sequence‐dependent function in proteins is inspired by the cation–π interaction that is increasingly implicated in marine adhesives and membraneless organelles. A simplified cation‐methylene‐phenyl (C‐M‐P) sequence which enables triggerable poly(ionic liquid) coacervation is reported for the first time. Synthesis of the C‐M‐P structure motif requires only a one‐step quaternization, which is facile compared to the linear sequence of distinct repeating units in model proteins and sequence‐controlled polymers. The C‐M‐P code confers modular coacervation and advanced wet adhesion to task‐specific copolymers. It allows for exceptional underwater adhesion to various submerged substrates including glass (≈1 MPa) and porcine skins (140 KPa), paving the way for prospective adhesive applications in physiological saline and underwater marine salvage. This work introduces a powerful code that, in addition to combining the advantageous adaptive adhesive and phase properties of proteins, reduces the complexity in sequence design for programmable coacervates.

AbstractElectronic waste (e‐waste) grows in parallel with the increasing need for consumer electronics. This, unfortunately, is leading to pollution and massive ecological problems worldwide. A solution to this problem is the use of transient electronics. While transiency of a few components such as transistors and batteries have been proposed already, it is crucial to have all components in electronic devices to be transient. Therefore, the transiency of more electronic components should be demonstrated to alleviate the e‐waste problem. Herein, multifunctional nanocomposite electrodes are fabricated using poly(vinyl alcohol), carbon black, and activated carbon. These simple electrodes are then used to fabricate physically transient supercapacitors, triboelectric nanogenerators, and capacitive sensors. Transient supercapacitors are used numerous times with excellent supercapacitive behavior before being discarded, which show promise as an energy storage component for transient systems. The fabricated transient triboelectric nanogenerators are used to harvest mechanical energy, eliminated the need for an external power supply, paving the way to self‐powered devices, such as a touchpad as demonstrated herein. The fabricated transient capacitive sensors, on the other hand, have shown long linear sensitivities and offered waste‐free monitoring of physiological signals and body motions.

Published: October 2021

AbstractThe frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) derived from 2,6‐lutidine and B(C6F5)3 is shown to mediate the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 using H2 as the reductant and a silylhalide as an oxophile. The nature of the products can be controlled with the judicious selection of the silylhalide and the solvent. In this fashion, this metal‐free catalysis affords avenues to the selective formation of the disilylacetal (R3SiOCH2OSiR3), methoxysilane (R3SiOCH3), methyliodide (CH3I) and methane (CH4) under mild conditions. DFT studies illuminate the complexities of the mechanism and account for the observed selectivity.

AbstractPhotothermal materials with broadband optical absorption and high conversion efficiency are intensively pursued to date. Here, proposing by the d‐d interband transitions, we report an unprecedented high‐entropy alloy FeCoNiTiVCrCu nanoparticles that the energy regions below and above the Fermi level (±4 eV) have been fully filled by the 3d transition metals, which realizes an average absorbance greater than 96 % in the entire solar spectrum (wavelength of 250 to 2500 nm). Furthermore, we also calculated the photothermal conversion efficiency and the evaporation rate towards the steam generation. Due to its pronounced full light capture and ultrafast local heating, our high‐entropy‐alloy nanoparticle‐based solar steam generator has over 98 % efficiency under one sun irradiation, meanwhile enabling a high evaporation rate of 2.26 kg m−2 h−1.
Geometric morphometrics and anatomical network analyses reveal ecospace partitioning among geoemydid turtles from the Uinta Formation, Utah

Published: October 2021

AbstractWe present new fossil records of the geoemydid turtle Bridgeremys pusilla from the Uinta Formation of Utah. Turtles are abundant throughout the unit, and known taxa are similar to those from the older strata in the Upper Green River Basin in Wyoming from the Bridger and Washakie Formations. B. pusilla is known from Bridgerian deposits but was not previously known from after the Turtle Bluff Member of the Bridger Formation. The taxon was coveal with two species of the geoemydid Echmatemys (E. callopyge and E. wyomingensis), a common genus of extinct pond turtles known primarily from lacustrine and fluvial deposits in western North America, including the Uinta Basin. In addition to previously documented morphological differences, our geometric morphometric analyses revealed significant differences in epiplastral morphology between B. pusilla and the two coeval Echmatemys species. Bridgeremys pusilla shared several morphological characters with Testudinidae. However, our anatomical network analysis suggests that the carapace of B. pusilla distributed stress forces in a manner more similar to emydids (basal and derived) than to derived testudinoids (Testudinidae and Emydidae), including Echmatemys species. This finding changes our understanding of the ecology of the species and sheds light onto how geoemydid turtles of the Uinta Formation may have partitioned the available ecospace. These new Uintan records extend the geographic range of B. pusilla into the Uinta Basin and stratigraphically through the top of the Uinta Formation, extending the temporal range of the taxon by more than 4 million years through the Uintan North American Land Mammal Age to the base of the Duchesne River Formation.

AbstractThe upper extremity posture is characteristic of each Carnegie stage (CS), particularly between CS18 and CS23. Morphogenesis of the shoulder joint complex largely contributes to posture, although the exact position of the shoulder joints has not been described. In the present study, the position of the upper arm was first quantitatively measured, and the contribution of the position of the shoulder girdle, including the scapula and glenohumeral (GH) joint, was then evaluated. Twenty‐nine human fetal specimens from the Kyoto Collection were used in this study. The morphogenesis and three‐dimensional position of the shoulder girdle and humerus were analyzed using phase‐contrast X‐ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Both abduction and flexion of the upper arm displayed a local maximum at CS20. Abduction gradually decreased until the middle fetal period, which was a prominent feature. Flexion was less than 90° at the local maximum, which was discrepant between appearance and measurement value in our study. The scapular body exhibited a unique position, being oriented internally and in the upward direction, with the glenoid cavity oriented cranially and ventrally. However, this unique scapular position had little effect on the upper arm posture because the angle of the scapula on the thorax was canceled as the angle of the GH joint had changed to a mirror image of that angle. Our present study suggested that measuring the angle of the scapula on the thorax and that of the GH joint using sonography leads to improved staging of the human embryo.

AbstractWith the wide cultivation of transgenic plants throughout the world and the rising risk of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis crystal (Cry) toxins, it is essential to design an adaptive resistance management strategy for continued use. Neuropeptide F (NPF) of insects has proven to be valuable for the production of novel‐type transgenic plants via its important role in the control of feeding behavior. In this study, the gene encoding NPF was cloned from the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, an important agricultural pest. Real‐time quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization showed a relatively high expression of P. xylostella‐npf (P. x‐npf) in endocrine cells of the midgut of fourth instar larvae, and it was found to participate in P. xylostella feeding behavior and Cry1Ac‐induced feeding inhibition. Prokaryotic expression and purification provided structure unfolded P. x‐npf from inclusion bodies for diet surface overlay bioassays and the results demonstrated a significant synergistic effect of P. x‐npf on Cry1Ac toxicity by increasing intake of noxious food which contains Cry toxins, especially quick death at an early stage of feeding. Our findings provided a potential new way to efficiently control pests by increasing intake of lower dose Cry toxins and a novel hint for the complex Cry toxin mechanism.

AbstractThe imaging of peptidoglycan (PGN) dynamics in living bacteria facilitates the understanding of PGN biosynthesis and wall‐targeting antibiotics. The main tools for imaging bacterial PGN are fluorescent probes, such as the well‐known PGN metabolic labeling probes. However, fluorescent small‐molecule probes for labeling key PGN‐synthesizing enzymes, especially for transglycosylases (TGases), remain to be explored. In this work, the first imaging probe for labeling TGase in bacterial cell wall studies is reported. We synthesized various fluorescent MoeA‐based molecules by derivatizing the natural antibiotic moenomycin A (MoeA), and used them to label TGases in living bacteria, monitor bacterial growth and division cycles by time‐lapse imaging, and study cell wall growth in the mecA‐carrying methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains when the β‐lactam‐based probes were unsuitable.

Published: October 2021

AbstractIn situ deposition of catalysts are drawing attention to the liquid/liquid interfaces by using raw materials for the energy conversion reactions such as hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction. Herein, in situ generation of amorphous molybdenum sulfide on reduced graphene oxide (rGO/MoSx) is investigated in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by decamethylferrocene electron donor at the liquid/liquid interfaces by using (NH4)2MoS4 and graphene oxide precursors in the aqueous phase. rGO/MoSx catalyst shows better catalytic activity than the uncatalyzed reaction and free‐MoSx, which increase the HER rate 57‐ and 1.7‐fold, respectively. The enhanced catalytic activity of rGO/MoSx catalyst is related to the increased surface area, active sites and conductivity of rGO. The catalytic activity of rGO/MoSx are examined by four‐electrode voltammetry and also two‐phase reactions. The obtained rGO/MoSx catalyst are characterized in detail by structural and morphological techniques.
