Flexible Diplomacy: Scholars as Key Players in Track II Diplomacy
Authors: F. von Feigenblatt Otto 
Published: May 2019

IntroductionThe field of traditional diplomacy has changed very little since the Congress of Vienna in the 19thcentury. Globalization, non-traditional security threats, and a changing global landscape require a more flexible diplomacy that includes a wider range of stakeholders such as NGOs, community leaders, and most importantly scholars/academics.ObjectiveThe academic freedom enjoyed by scholars allows them to explore policy questions from a scientific perspective Materials and methods the present study follows the grounded theory approach to model development while adopting a largely constructivist paradigm in terms of the nature of diplomacy Resultthe academic freedom enjoyed by scholars allows them to explore policy questions from a scientific perspective. Thus, scholars have the freedom to explore controversial topics in an environment of respect and professionalism. Discussion Scholars have historically served as the conscience of their generation and also as the keepers and creators of civilization and therefore it is only natural for them to play important roles in public policy Conclusions The integration of the scholarly community into the diplomatic corps of developing countries can reduce the intrinsic asymmetry between the expertise and skills of the ministries of foreign

Published: May 2019

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) may be an underlying cause of malnutrition. Aim: The objective of this study was to find out the seroprevalence of CD in children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in age group of 1–5 years. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational, hospital-based study carried out at Malnutrition Treatment Centre attached with tertiary care pediatric hospital associated with the medical college of southern Rajasthan, from December 2017 to November 2018. A total of 110 children with SAM were enrolled and screened for CD on the basis of celiac serology (tissuetransglutaminase [tTg]-immunoglobulin A/G [IgA/IgG]). Results: Celiac serology was positivity in 30 (27.28%) cases; out of total 30 seropositive cases, 14 (46.66%) cases were seropositive for both tTg-IgA and IgG, while only tTg-IgA and only tTg-IgG were positive in 9 (30%) and 7 (23.33%) cases, respectively. Mean serotiter of serum tTg-IgA and IgG in seropositive cases was 134.01±198.74 and 49.05±25.74 unit/ml. Conclusions: High seroprevalence of CD in SAM should be taken as alert as CD may be an underlying cause and responsible for malnutrition. These children should be screened by celiac serology (tTg-IgA/IgG) to rule out CD.

Published: May 2019

Background: A raised serum uric acid is recognized as an unfavourable fetal outcome of pre-eclampsia. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between hyperuricemia and fetal outcome in preeclamptic patients.
Methods: This observational study was carried out in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of BIRDEM General Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. Fifty pre eclamptic pregnant women with hyperuricemia (group A) and 50 preeclamptic pregnant women with normal serum uric acid level (group B) were taken as study subjects. Data were analyzed by SPSS where p value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 25.88 ± 4.52 years and 24.30 ± 5.09 years in group A and group B respectively. Mean serum uric acid level was 7.19±0.62 mg/dl in group A and 4.83±0.73 mg/dl in group B. Maximum (66%) patients were primigravida in group A and 34% in group B. In this study, intra-uterine death (IUD) occurred in 4 (8%) cases in group A and in 1 (2%) case in group B, intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) was 20 (40%) cases in group A and 4 (8%) cases in group B, low birth weight was in 38 (76%) cases in group A and 21(42%) cases in group B. Occurrence of IUGR and low birth weight was significantly higher in group A than group B. APGAR score was significantly lower in group A (5.10±1.61) than that of group B (6.36±1.32). Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) referral was more in group A (60%) than group B (20%).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that hyperuricemia is a predictor of poor fetal outcome in pre-eclamptic women.

Human potential and human capital as the main factor of the country's economic potential development
Authors: Ткач Микола , Ковальська Марина 
Published: May 2019

One of the main factors influencing the country's economic growth is human potential. The weak social policy of the state, namely, the perfection of the health care system, education, social protection of the population, employment, and the law-enforcement system, leads to negative consequences for the loss of the human potential of the country. In turn, this dynamics is characterized by irreversible losses of human potential as a result of illnesses and the emigration of able-bodied citizens abroad, the loss of "intellectual (intellectual) potential", the refusal of young people to give birth to children due to their low standard of living, and lack of confidence in the future. Losing Ukraine's human potential may in turn slow down economic development in the middle of the country, to the loss of the traditionally high level of human potential of Ukraine and, by weakening the country's overall potential, to the risk of territorial claims of neighboring countries.

Breast Milk is one of the world health organization programs. The profile of Indonesia's health data for 2015 shows the scope of administration. Exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low, the percentage of infants breastfeeding exclusively 0 to 6 months is 55.7% lower than in 2011, which was 61.5%. Some of the problems related to achieving exclusive breastfeeding in North Sumatra Province are that there are still many institutions that employ women not giving an opportunity for mothers who have babies 0-6 months to carry out exclusive breastfeeding as evidenced by the unavailability of lactation rooms and supporting devices; and there are still many health workers at the service level who have not cared for or have not side with the fulfillment of the baby's right to get exclusive breastfeeding. For this reason, the team from the Universitas Sumatera Utara, Faculty of Nursing sought to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding specifically by making facilities for breastfeeding mothers and increasing breastfeeding knowledge and skills through community service about Lactation Management. All mothers have the knowledge and ability to carry out lactation management. It is expected by these two educational institutions, so that the team can continue to carry out community service in these two places.Keywords: women's empowerment, lactation management

Published: May 2019

Abstract. Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 5 (ACSL5)
is a member of the acyl coenzyme A (CoA) long-chain synthase families (ACSLs), and it
plays a key role in fatty acid metabolism. In this study, we proved an association
between the ACSL5 gene and triglyceride metabolism at the cellular
level in cattle. pBI-CMV3-ACSL5 and pGPU6/GFP/Neo-ACSL5 plasmids were
constructed and transfected into bovine preadipocytes by electroporation. The expression
level of ACSL5 was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot. The
triglyceride content was detected by a triglyceride kit. The results indicated that the
expression level of ACSL5 mRNA and protein in the
pBI-CMV3-ACSL5-transfected group was significantly increased compared with those
in the control group. Furthermore, the pGPU6/GFP/Neo-ACSL5-transfected group was
significantly decreased compared with those in the control group. A cell triglyceride
test showed that overexpression or silencing of the ACSL5 gene could affect
synthesis of cellular triglycerides. This study investigated the mechanism of ACSL on
bovine fat deposition, and also provides a new candidate gene for meat quality traits in
beef cattle.

Authors: Shaakumeni Simson Ndadaleka 
Published: May 2019

This study adapted and validated a questionnaire for assessing Namibian students’ scientific epistemic beliefs and explore their relation to achievement in science, gender, grade and socioeconomic status. The study was correlational, with a sample of 944 (45% male; 55% female) Grades 11 and 12 students with the mean age M=17.9, SD= 1.4. A Likert scale questionnaire comprised of four dimensions of beliefs: source; certainty; development; and justification of scientific knowledge. The adapted questionnaire had good reliability with the Cronbach’s alpha of subscales ranging from .80 to .83 and the overall reliability of .70. Model fit analysis yielded good statistical fit with Chi-square ratio to degrees of freedom= 2.71, RMSEA= 0.043, CFI= 0.95, TLI= 0.94, SRMR= .032. The overall regression model was significant F (4, 939) =8.218, p <.001, R2= .034. Two dimensions, certainty (b=.154, p<.001) and justification (b=.100, p<.05) statistically significantly predicted achievement in science. There was statistically significant difference in beliefs about source in terms of gender and grade and about certainty in terms of grade. The results show that the questionnaire works well with the Namibian sample used given the good model fit for the data and reliability. Results are discussed in terms of 21st century skills development.
