National ideologies and community awareness in propaganda slogans: A critical discourse analysis in the context of Vietnam
Authors: Tran Du Thanh 
Published: October 2024

Slogans have long been an essential instrument of mobilization and propaganda in Vietnamese politics, and propaganda slogans have historically been regarded as significant instruments that can be utilized effectively to spread information in virtually every country on earth. Furthermore, it is supposed that these slogans can mirror various facets of society. Utilized by institutions and organizations as a form of discourse, propaganda slogans are nearly encountered by the general public and are intended to promote political campaigns or objectives. In view of critical discourse analysis, the objectives of the present study are to delineate, examine, and identify the sense of national ideologies and community consciousness that are intrinsic to the slogans' language. The study employed the mixed method of document and descriptive analysis. The sample included 900 Vietnamese slogans randomly collected from social networking sites on the internet; from guidelines and propaganda work directions of several ministries, sociopolitical organizations, and associations; and from the process of observing, recording, and photographing slogans on streets, offices, schools or other public places in many different localities. The findings of the study indicated that propaganda slogans can be regarded as both a discourse and a social entity. The language employed in propaganda slogans is regarded not only as a reflection of societal norms and values but also as a social convention encompassing various linguistic aspects, such as the use of vocabulary, grammar and speech acts. Furthermore, propaganda slogans serve as conduits through which various facets of society can be observed, as they are interconnected with the institutional framework and the systems of human perspectives and values.
Asthma and pregnancy: Understanding the dynamic relationship - A comprehensive review
Authors: Pawar Riya , Rawekar Alka 
Published: October 2024

The health of pregnant women and their developing fetuses can be greatly impacted by asthma, a prevalent chronic respiratory disease. Pregnancy-related asthma is a serious health risk. A potentially fatal condition that makes many pregnancies more difficult is asthma. The prevalence of asthma has increased within the past few decades. This comprehensive review explored the complex connection between asthma and pregnancy. Analyzing physiological alterations during pregnancy revealed dynamic interactions between immunological responses and respiratory function. These Important discoveries highlight the susceptibility to exacerbations of asthma. This discussion focuses on the links between poorly managed asthma and unfavourable - perinatal outcomes, with particular attention given to maternal and fetal outcomes, tracking and tailored treatment to provide the best possible management of asthma. This review emphasizes how important it is to manage asthma throughout pregnancy because it can have a positive impact on both the mothers and fetuses long-term health. Consequences for clinical practice emphasize the value of preconception care, ongoing surveillance, and joint obstetrician-pulmonologist efforts. This review also sheds light on how common asthma is in expectant mothers, and this field's future directions require further investigation. Low birth weights and small for gestational age are associated with a greater risk, especially in women who have moderate-to-severe asthma and have episodes of the condition during pregnancy. Additionally, there was a slight but statistically significant increase in the chance of congenital deformities. By preventing exacerbations, active management may lessen these risks. Ensuring optimal management of asthma during pregnancy is crucial for the welfare of the expectant mother and the unborn child. While poorly managed and undertreated asthma is linked to a number of dangers for both mothers and fetuses, well-controlled asthma reduces the risk of complications for both mothers and fetuses.

Published: October 2024

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the prioritization of the services marketing mix and compare the outcomes between first-time and repeat visitors in selecting a rural destination. Six rural tourism destinations were selected from four different southern states of India. Approximately 512 respondents consisting of 292 first-time visitors and 220 multiple-time visitors participated in a questionnaire survey carried out from May 2023 to October 2023. Multicriteria method, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to examine the prioritisation of services marketing mix components and ranking is done concerning the reason behind choosing a particular rural destination. The present study reveals that many new visitors favor rural tourist locations due to their affordability and variety of experiences. In addition, repeat visitors also choose rural areas based on the native resident’s attitude, customer service, cultural orientation, training, language proficiency, information and communication processes and facilities and services. Efficient marketing is important for promoting tourism in rural destinations and increase the arrival of tourists . The article also proposes the adoption of responsible tourism practices, which are essential for protecting cultural assets and ensuring that local populations get fair and equal benefits from tourism. The research also provides significant insights to destination management firms on the formulation of services marketing mix strategies, policy choices, and initiatives aimed at expanding rural tourism in India.
A lifespan perspective on fetal alcohol syndrome: Developmental challenges and outcomes
Authors: Motlani Gunjan , Motlani Vidhi , Dave Apoorva 
Published: October 2024

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) result from alcohol exposure during the intrauterine life of the fetus and are the most common nonheritable, avoidable causes of intellectual disability and a wide range of neurobehavioral outcomes. Alcohol causes neurotoxicity in the developing brain. Children with FASD experience behavioral issues from an early age and progress to adulthood. The prevalence of alcohol consumption among women is increasing. Clinically, symptoms in children with FAS manifest in a wide range of ways, probably as a result of the quantity and timing of alcohol exposure, as well as maternal and genetic effects. All of these elements contribute to the mechanisms through which alcohol harms a growing brain, the specifics of which are still largely unknown. Neuroimaging reveals alterations in the structure of the brain, white matter structure, cortical development, and functional connections. However, recent advancements and ongoing research have yielded encouraging findings that could result in the use of FAS screening tools and therapy for individuals. Intervention aims to enhance development, address behavioural challenges, and ensure suitable educational programming. Prioritizing early childhood intervention is crucial to prevent secondary disabilities that may arise from delays in obtaining a definitive diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Effective nutritional therapies as well as cognitive rehabilitation are now being tested. This disorder represents the intersection of complicated societal, community, family, and biological circumstances that increase the risk for intergenerational suffering, health disparity, and social injustice. This paper aims to guide healthcare professionals and policymaker in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with FAS through effective strategies.

Published: October 2024

Recent issue surrounding the need of urgent PCI for stable, late-presenting patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction is debatable. Research indicates limited mortality benefits with reduced total ischemic time. Exploring post-systolic index (PSI) through strain echocardiography reveals its potential in assessing left ventricular recovery. We compare PSI values in late presenter STEMI patients undergoing PCI. From June to September 2023, a prospective study focused on stable late presenter STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Total ischemic time was classified as ≤ 24 hours (early intervention) and > 24 hours (late intervention). Echocardiography performed thrice: before PCI, 24 hours after PCI, and 30 days after PCI, followed by comparative analysis of PSI values. A total of 43 patients with mean age of 58 ± 7.9 years, predominantly male (74.4%). There were no significant difference in PSI values 24 hours after PCI between groups [22.5 % vs 22.0 %, p = 0.644]. At the 30-day follow-up, the result showed no difference between the two groups [13.0 % vs 13.3 %, p = 0.356]. PSI values before and after PCI showed a significant decrease (31,0 % and 23,2 % and 33,2 % vs 24,9 %, p < 0,001), as well as at the 30-day follow-up (31,0 % vs 13,2 % and 33,2 % vs 15,9 %, p < 0,001). Our findings suggest that both early and late interventions demonstrated similar beneficial outcomes in terms of myocardial recovery. Intervention in late presenter STEMI has been proven beneficial whether performed early or late.

In addition to other indicators, improvements in the performance of the labor market, improvements in the performance of remittances, and improvements in the performance of the management of labor market policies and remittances in Kosovo all play important roles in the economic development of Kosovo. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate and compare the dynamics of employment and remittances, as well as to determine the impact of remittances on employment growth in the Republic of Kosovo. In the present study, we examined the dynamics of employment and remittances during the last decade, empirically examined the influence of remittances on employment, and conducted an analysis of employment and remittance policy in Kosovo. According to the findings, the highest number of employees in Kosovo from 2012 - 2022 was in 2022, whereas the lowest number of employees was in 2015. According to the latest results in Kosovo, the unemployment rate is 10.8%, whereas the employment rate is 34.7%. Remittances have had a significant effect on Kosovo's economy and citizens’ level of living. The value of remittances increased from 2012 - 2022, with the largest value occurring in 2022. Remittances in June 2023 were 123.9 million euros, which represents an increase of 18% compared with the same period of 2022. The hypothesis in this work is examined econometrically, and the empirical results show that the β1 coefficient value is positive, indicating that remittances have a considerable impact on increasing employment in Kosovo. The challenge with remittances in Kosovo in terms of expanding employment is related to their effective management with regard to creating new jobs. The report advises that policymakers implement more sustainable remittance and labor market management to enhance Kosovo's employment performance, among other things.

Published: October 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los niveles de eficiencia de la gestión pública del Patronato Municipal de Inclusión Social de Santo Domingo, para lo cual, es imprescindible la búsqueda de información documental en publicaciones indexadas a revistas de alto impacto y seguir una metodología con enfoque mixto cuali-cuantitativo con el fin de evaluar la eficiencia de la gestión pública, empleando un diseño no experimental y exploratorio que permitió recoger datos en un único momento. La población de estudio incluye a 334.826 habitantes urbanos de Santo Domingo, cifra el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos INEC (2024), donde el muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple permite seleccionar a 245 usuarios del Patronato, dividido en hombres y mujeres de edades de entre 18 y 65 años. Los resultados demuestran la presencia de una percepción mixta sobre la capacidad de organización, con una notable proporción de encuestados que no se sienten suficientemente informados o comprometidos, y una significativa imagen negativa que destaca áreas clave para mejoras. Se requiere un esfuerzo continuo para fortalecer la eficiencia organizativa y la respuesta a las necesidades de los usuarios. Se concluye que los niveles de eficiencia están influenciados por factores internos como la calidad de gestión, la motivación del personal y las habilidades para cumplir procesos; así también, externamente aparecen factores como la percepción y satisfacción de los usuarios, el apoyo gubernamental, y las condiciones socioeconómicas vigentes.

Background: Traumatic acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a catastrophic devastating component of brain injury in neurosurgical arena. Due to its significant mortality rate, potential for functional disability and disastrous consequence of complications, it is considered as a challenge for neurosurgeons worldwide. Consequently, precise recognition of predictive outcome factors is crucial for appropriate neurosurgical management and prognostication for patients with traumatic ASDH. Aims: The study aimed to determine the demographic, clinical, radiological and therapeutic factors associated with the surgical outcomes in patients with traumatic acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) who managed surgically in the Neurosurgery Department at a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study included 40 radiologically diagnosed cases of traumatic ASDH age more than 18 years who were admitted and operated in the Department of Neurosurgery of Chittagong Medical College Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023. Data regarding demographic, clinical, radiographic, surgical procedure and findings were recorded. Three months mortality rate with clinical outcome was assessed by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score and analyzed. The outcome was divided into favorable outcomes (GOS score >3) and unfavorable outcomes (GOS score d”3). Results: The median age of the patients was 45 years (range: 19-82 years), and there was a male predominance (82.5%) with a male to female ratio of 4.7:1. Road traffic accident (RTA) was the most common cause of trauma (65%), followed by fall from height (15%), and physical assault (12.5%). Craniotomy was done in 16 (40%) patients and other 24 (60%) patients had decompressive craniectomy. Overall, 21 (52.5%) patients had good outcome and other 19 (47.5%) had poor outcome, and three months mortality rate was 42.5%. Regression analysis revealed that, increasing age [Odds ratio (OR): 1.12, 95% Confidence interval CI: 1.02-1.22. p=0.014], preoperative GCS of d”8 (OR: 13.98, 95% CI:1.22-160.00, p=0.034), and presence of Anisocoria with non-reacting pupil (OR; 17.99, 95% CI: 1.32-244.08, p=0.030) were independently associated with poor outcome. Conclusions: This study identified higher age, preoperative low GCS score and pupillary abnormality as the independent predictors for 3-months poor outcome in patients who underwent surgical treatment for traumatic ASDH

Published: October 2024

Background: The purpose of a fixed prosthodontic treatment may vary from the restoration of a single tooth to the complete rehabilitation of full occlusion. Finish line design is important in any tooth preparation, as finish line ensures the success of the future prosthesis. Finish line affects not only retention but also stability of fixed prosthesis. The finish line must be distinct, uniform, and smooth. Finish line is important during tooth preparation for acceptable marginal adaptation. The finish line must be easy to prepare, it must be easy to duplicate in impression, conservative, and provide sufficient strength to restore material. Finish line design helps in measuring the surface detail recording ability of an impression material. Various tooth preparation designs have distinct finish lines. Objectives: To evaluate the finish line of the die in a fixed prosthodontic laboratory. Materials and Methods: This laboratory based descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study has been conducted in the department of prosthodontics, BSMMU, with a sample size of 125 working casts die having different finish lines. The purpose of this study was to observe the finish line of the die of the working cast by using a dental magnifying loop. Data was collected on the basis of type, location, and quality of the finish line and recorded on a predesign data collection sheet. Collected data were analyzed by using the chi-square test. A P-value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Result: Among 125 dies, according to location of finish line maximum number of dies 110 (88%) were showed sub gingival finish line but according to types of finish line 112 (88.40%) dies were showed chamfer finish line and according to quality of finish line 105 (84%) dies were showed detectable finish line.
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the tooth preparation for single crown that have been done in the department of prosthodontics, BSMMU most of their finish line is sub gingival, chamfer and detectable.
