Published: September 2024

Background: Adolescents and youths living with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are known to have challenges in managing the condition and may be prone to poor glycaemic control and complications.
Objectives: To assess the level and adequacy of care for adolescents and youths living with T1DM.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among adolescents and youths living with T1DM who attended the 2023 Ogun Youth Diabetes Camp. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information.
Results: Twenty-five participants with a mean age of 18.0±3.9 years (range 13-24 years) were recruited, with 80% being females. The mean HbA1c was 7.1 ± 1.8%, and in-camp postprandial glucose values were mostly high (76%). The mean age at diagnosis of T1DM was 11.7±4.8 years. One participant had T1DM for < 2 years, 11 for 2-5 years, and 13 for > 5 years. Among those who had lived with T1DM for more than 5 years, ten had been referred to a dietitian, nine to an ophthalmologist, and two to a neurologist. One participant had been screened for thyroid disorder.
Conclusion: The adolescents and youths living with T1DM in this survey had suboptimal glycaemic control, and evaluation by their care providers during clinic visits was also suboptimal. Therefore, they may be at increased risk of developing complications. It is recommended that all stakeholders lend timely and aggressive support to these individuals to ensure adequate management and prevent complications.

Low Doses of Tributyltin Chloride Induced Neurotoxicity in Male Rats
Authors: Alkadhimy Sura 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT:
The environmental contaminant tributyltin chloride (TBTC), which is still present in commercially-collected items, is majorly utilized and continuously dispersed. It is one of the chemicals which disrupts the endocrine system and is exceedingly harmful to a variety of organisms. In this work, male rats were given TBTC at doses between 10 and 2000 μg/kg B.W. to determine its neurotoxicity. Animals have been separated into 8 equal groups and given the next daily doses of TBTC through oral gavage for a period of 45 days: 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 μg/kg B.W. The effects of TBTC administration Along with disrupting the neurotransmitters as well as brain enzymes responsible for drug metabolism, TBTC elevated the indicators of the amyloid genic pathway, inflammation, and apoptosis. Histopathological analysis revealed that TBT exposure altered the brain tissue architecture. The neurotoxicity caused by high TBTC doses was more significant compared to that caused by low doses, and the impact was dose-dependent.

Published: September 2024

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common opportunistic bacterium, is a major source of human surface infections. Infections with these bacteria are difficult to cure and cause significant economic implications. Objectives The current study looked at the antibiotic resistance patterns of P. aeruginosa isolated from burns, wound swabs, and urinary tract infections that were referred to Iraq Hospitals' emergency health care units. From October 2022 to May 2023, 180 swabs were collected from burn and wound patients (110 burns, 67 wounds, and 3 urinary tract infections) of both sexes, (80) males and (100) females, aged 1-72 years, at Baghdad government hospitals: Ghazi Al-Hariri Hospital, Central Laboratories, Specialized Burns Hospital, and Yarmouk Hospital. Results:(180) diagnostic swabs from patients with burns and wound infections of both sexes, (80) males and (100) females, aged 1–72 years. The current study found 25(31.25) more P. aeruginosa positive cases in males than females, with 29(29) out of 54 positive cases. The study discovered that the age group 21-30 years had the highest rate of bacterial infection, followed by the age groups 11-20 and 1-10, with 11 (20.37%), 10 (18.51%), and 10 (18.51%), respectively. According to the current study's findings, the antibiotics Amikacin, Gentamicin, Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Netilmicin, and Tobramycin showed the highest resistance rates (81.4%, 81.4%, 79.6%, 72.2%, 74%, and 79.6%, respectively).The test findings showed that 52 isolates (96%) produced pyrocyanin and hemolysins. Bacterial colonies were white to gray with a sticky feel. All isolates exhibited β-hemolysis.Alkaline protease production All isolates exhibited a translucent halo surrounding the bacterial colonies.Lipase production All isolates exhibited a hazy halo surrounding the development zone of P.aeruginosa colonies. The current study discovered that the antibiotics Amikacin, Gentamicin, Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Netilmicin, and Tobramycin were the most resistant in cases of burn and wound patients, as well as urinary tract infections in Iraq.

Published: September 2024

Cassava is a strategic commodity that has an influence on the stability of food security and drives industries from small to large scale and from upstream to downstream. Despite the potential and opportunities for developing cassava commodities in Lampung Province, the problems and challenges, especially those related to cassava marketing, are still relatively large. This research was conducted in Labuhan Ratu VI Village, Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung Regency, Lampung Province in October 2020 - July 2021. The sampling method used was the snowball method. The snowball method is very appropriate to use in research on the topic of trade because it provides a complete description of the characteristics and conditions of marketing channels, the existing conditions of marketing institutions, and the effectiveness of existing trade channels. The research was conducted employing a survey method, and by simple random sampling involving 147 respondents of cassava farmers. The results revealed that cassava marketing consists of 2 channels. Farmer share channel I and II respectively 74% and 86%, while the marketing efficiency value (EP) marketing channel I and II respectively 13.04 % and 10.35%. These results show that marketing channel II is more efficient than marketing channel I because it has a high farmer share and marketing efficiency with a small percentage. This is because in marketing channel II farmers directly sell their cassava to the factory and marketing costs are low. Therefore, farmers are advised to market their products through marketing channel II.
What Evidence?: Qualitative Publishing in the Canadian Journal for Dietetic Practice and Research
Authors: Brady Jennifer , Bromley Alexandra 
Published: September 2024

Background: Qualitative research involves the analysis of data in various forms (i.e., written text such as interview transcripts, literature, or a personal diary; visual media such as photographs, maps, or memes; and audio materials such as podcasts, music, or voice notes) to describe and/or interpret phenomena and humans’ perceptions and experiences of the world, including of food, health, and well-being. Dietetic-scholars have raised concerns about the dearth and quality of qualitative dietetic research. Objective: To document the availability and quality of qualitative research published in Canadian dietetic literature. Methods: A manifest content analysis of articles published in the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Research and Practice (CJDRP) between 2012 and 2021. Results: In total, 340 articles were published between 2012 and 2021 of which 43 (12.6%) used qualitative methods. Overall, the quality of qualitative articles was poor; articles frequently failed to report the methodological approach or a theoretical framework. Methods of data collection, data analysis, and strategies to ensure rigor were seldom described in detail. Reported limitations were often inappropriate for qualitative research. Discussion: Qualitative research is markedly underrepresented in the CJDPR. Efforts are needed to ensure that high-quality qualitative research evidence and publishing opportunities are available to Canadian dietetic practitioners and researchers. This study provides baseline data to evaluate the impact of future efforts.
The first pedologists of the Chuvash Republic and their experience in the study of Chuvash children
Authors: Stoyukhina Nataliya Yurievna , Mironov Daniil Valerievich 
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the activities of pedologists of the Chuvash ASSR and aims to analyze the historically first study devoted to the intelligence of Chuvash children. The study is based on the publications of the first pedologists from Chuvashia F. P. Petrov and M. E. Efimov. In accordance with the historical and psychological methods described by V. A. Koltsova, the work uses problematic and source study methods. The study is written in the aspect of the history of pedagogy. A graduate student of the Kazan Oriental Pedagogical Institute, F. P. Petrov with a team of students, for the first time carried out a comprehensive study of the intellectual development of Chuvash children using the Binet-Simon test method, widely known among Soviet pedologists. At first, pedologists took the test method in Russian, then it was translated into the Chuvash language with appropriate text changes in relation to the everyday and speech characteristics of the Chuvash. The result of the study was the book published in Cheboksary, &quot;The experience of studying the intellectual development of Chuvash children using the Binet-Simon method&quot;, published in 1928. The book caused serious objections from the head of the pedological office at the Chuvash Scientific Research Institute M. E. Efimov; he believed that the author was biased against Chuvash children and violated the methodological principle of making tests. The correspondence polemic between two Chuvash pedologists about the measurement of children’s intelligence, along with similar cases in the country’s republics, prompted L. S. Vygotsky to call for an understanding of the problems of national pedology, with its leading problem – the measurement of intelligence.

Published: September 2024

Introducción: Esta indagación se enmarca en el triángulo de la producción, distribución y consumo, centrándose en un alimento emblemático de nuestra geografía: el jamón de cerdo. Concretamente abordamos desde la Antropología de la alimentación un aspecto relacionado con el consumo de este referente gastronómico: el corte. Pretendemos adentrarnos en este aspecto, pues ha sido poco o nada abordado en los estudios sobre el jamón. Metodología: Es de tipo cualitativo y utilizamos como técnicas fundamentales de investigación etnográfica la observación y la entrevista en profundidad. Resultados: Nos acercamos a los principales tipos de jamón de nuestro país y sus calidades, e identificamos distintos tipos de corte y los principios en los que se anclan cada uno de ellos. Discusión: Problematizamos sobre la patrimonialización del jamón, la hegemonía y subalternidades de los cortes, así como la experiencia lujosa y expectucular en la que se está convirtiendo. Conclusiones: El corte de jamón es un eje desde el que analizar valores sociales vinculados a este simbólico alimento. Esta es una investigación inicial desde la que nos planteamos otros horizontes de indagación futura, por ejemplo, la presencia de la mujer cortadora, así como la sostenibilidad ecológica y social de nuevas actividades que tienen como eje la espectacularización en nuestras sociedades de consumo.

Authors: Amirkhanova D.S. , Mamyrbayev O.Zh. 
Published: September 2024

This paper is a comprehensive review of the El-Gamal cryptographic algorithm. The El-Gamal algorithm is a key algorithm in asymmetric encryption widely used in modern cryptography. It is main advantages include a high level of security due to the complexity of computing discrete logarithms and the ability to be used in digital signatures for authentication and non-repudiation.However, the El-Gamal algorithm is not without it is limitations. It is computational complexity can be quite high, especially when dealing with large numbers, which can lead to increased encryption and decryption times. Additionally, in some cases, the algorithm may be vulnerable to attacks based on mathematical analyses of the structure of the finite field. Overall, the El-Gamal algorithm remains an important tool in the field of cryptography, and it is application continues to expand across various platforms and industries. Moreover, asymmetric cryptography also facilitates the establishment of secure communication channels by using key exchange protocols, such as Diffie-Hellman, which allows two parties to agree upon a shared secret key without revealing it to any eavesdroppers. This is crucial in ensuring secure connections for various applications, including secure web browsing, online banking, and secure email communication. However, for maximum efficiency and security, it is necessary to consider both the advantages and limitations of this method, and apply it in accordance with the specific needs and requirements of each individual application. The paper details the mathematical foundations of the algorithm, including the computation of discrete logarithms, finite field operations, and cryptographic robustness evaluation. Encryption and digital signature algorithms based on El-Gamal's method are described. The advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm are analyzed, as well as its application in various fields such as e-commerce, email and cryptocurrencies. The paper contains a descriptive part explaining the concept of asymmetric cryptography and its advantages.
