Published: September 2024

BackgroundStress influences examination performance among Sri Lankan students. Validated tests are required to evaluate stress levels among elementary students in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the Perceived Stress Questionnaire 8–11 (PSQ8-11) was translated into a Sinhala version. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the translated and adapted scale among elementary level school children in Sri Lanka and examine invariance across male and female children.MethodsThe participants were 1021 students from seven schools. After removing missing values, responses from 693 students (mean age = 9.65 ± 0.478 years, 51.8% male) were analysed for participant characteristics. Cronbach’s alpha, Spearman’s correlation, and confirmatory factor analysis with measurement invariance models were conducted after adding one item to the original PSQ8-11 version.ResultsThe Cronbach’s alpha value for the 20-item modified PSQ8-11 Sinhala version was.788. The two subscales, psychological stress (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.615) and physiological stress (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.711), indicated a satisfactory level of internal consistency. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation (p &lt; 0.01; 2-tailed) was reported among each of the subscales. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated a satisfactory goodness-of-fit across the two models by confirming the theoretical constructs of the PSQ8-11 translated version with its two subscales. The two-factor model has better model fit indices compared to the unidimensional model (χ2/df = 1.447, CFI = 0.947, TLI = 0.938, WRMR = 0.028, RMSEA = 0.026, SRMSR = 0.0341, and PCLOSE = 1 of the two-factor model). Measurement variance across gender was supported by the establishment of configural and metric invariances.ConclusionAcceptable psychometric properties for the PSQ8-11 Sinhala version were observed in elementary schoolers in Sri Lanka.

Authors: Nasim Sahra , Nasim Henna , Kauke Martin , Safi Ali-Farid 
Published: September 2024

BackgroundAutologous fat grafting for temporal augmentation is increasingly popular in aesthetic surgery. However, its high absorption rate, unpredictable volume retention rate, and potential safety risks are significant drawbacks. Evaluation methods for the fat graft survival rate, especially volume retention in the temporal area, vary widely and tend to be more subjective than objective. Therefore, this systematic review aims to analyze the unpredictable volume retention rate, associated safety concerns, and the various assessment strategies following autologous fat grafting for cosmetic temporal augmentation.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of manuscripts listed in the MEDLINE/PubMed database on autologous fat grafting for cosmetic temporal augmentation. Articles had to be available in full text and written in English. Studies not presenting human data or not discussing cosmetic indications were excluded. We adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.ResultsEight articles were included. The average fat volume injected into each temporal region was 10.69 ml (range 6–17.5) on the right and 10.64 ml (range 5.9–17.4) on the left side. All included articles utilized photographic documentation before and after treatment, along with various questionnaires and scales (37.5% Likert Scale, 12.5% Hollowness Severity Rating Scale, 12.5% Visual Analogue Scale, 12.5% Allergan Temple Hollowing Scale). For objective assessment, one article (12.5%) used computed tomography, and another (12.5%) employed a three-dimensional scanning system to objectively evaluate fat graft survival.ConclusionAutologous fat grafting effectively addresses temporal hollowness, with high patient satisfaction and a favorable safety profile. However, the variability in fat retention rates highlights the need for more controlled studies to establish reliable, validated methods for evaluating fat graft survival in the temporal area, and to further assess the safety of this procedure.

Викладання основ генетики в новій українській школі
Authors: Атраментова Любов 
Published: September 2024

У статті звертається увага на невідповідність викладання менделізму в курсі біології середньої школи рівню сучасної генетики. Вказується на зміщення акценту у викладанні закономірностей успадкування та спрощене розуміння менделізму шляхом зведення його до трьох законів. Причина цього вбачається у необґрунтованому наданні результатам, отриманим Менделем у генетичному експерименті, статусу законів, які без урахування сучасних наукових досягнень некритично переходять з підручника до підручника. Вказується на необхідність в новій українській школі при викладанні основ класичної генетики врахувати новітні досягнення генетики і подавати менделівські результати не як закони, а як дані генетичного експерименту, що стали підставою для зміни парадигми в розумінні явищ спадковості — переходу від ідеї злитої спадковості до теорії дискретності спадкового матеріалу. Пропонується представляти учням досягнення Менделя як один фундаментальний закон дискретності спадковості, який займає гідне місце в ряду ідей про дискретність матерії та енергії.

Published: September 2024

Sustainability in supply chain planning has emerged as a vital component for attaining long-term company success and environmental stewardship in today's quickly expanding global market. This is because sustainability is integral to the planning process. Sustainable supply chain planning incorporates environmental, social, and economic issues into the heart of supply chain management strategies. This is in response to the growing awareness among companies of the need to reduce their ecological imprint.

When establishing a sustainable supply chain, it is necessary to conduct an exhaustive analysis of the whole supply chain lifetime, beginning with the procurement of raw materials and ending with the disposal of products at their end of life. It is necessary to put into practice procedures that cut down on waste, lessen the amount of carbon emissions, and increase the efficiency with which resources are used. The selection of suppliers who adhere to sustainable practices, the optimisation of transportation routes to minimise fuel usage, and the utilisation of technology that support the ideas of a circular economy are all important initiatives. Through the implementation of these components, organisations have the ability to reduce the risks connected with environmental requirements and interruptions in supply chain operations.

Authors: J.  B.  Ashraf  Al  , Priyadharshini J. Rose 
Published: September 2024

Aim: To Assess the involvement of Peripheral and Central Brainstem Auditory Pathways in Hypertension Patients
Materials & Methods:
Eligibility Criteria for Hypertension Patients in the Study: BP > 140/90 mmHg, as per JNC 7 Guidelines, and Under Control with Antihypertensive Medications. Subjects with Acute Illness were excluded. Informed Written Consent Acquisition. Informed Written Consent Acquisition in the Study was made to Ensure Ethical Participation. Exclusion Criteria and Instrumentation in the Study: Patients with associated diseases (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus, Ischemic Heart Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease) or auditory abnormalities were excluded. Medicaid Neuroperfect plus Instrument was utilized, and electrodes were placed following the 10-20 international system of EEG electrode placement.
The parameters include:

Absolute latency of all the waves from I to V
Interpeak latency I-III, I-V and III-V

Result:
The results of the study indicate that the Absolute Latency of Wave I in the hypertensive group showed a statistically significant prolongation, with a P value of 0.0001. This suggests that there is a notable delay in the auditory nerve response in these individuals compared to the control group.
The statistically significant prolongation observed in the latency values of Waves I, V, Inter-peak latency I-V, and Inter-peak latency III-V highlights the impact of hypertension on auditory function and warrants further investigation for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
Conclusion:
These findings indicate that there are measurable delays in the auditory nerve responses and the conduction of auditory signals along the brainstem pathways in individuals with hypertension. Further research in this area may help to better understand the underlying mechanisms and potentially explore novel approaches for managing auditory abnormalities in hypertensive patients.

Published: September 2024

Background: Lifestyle counselling is an effective, non- invasive way to manage weight, glycemic control, blood pressure and to reduce the risk of fatal complications in hypertensives and diabetics.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of lifestyle counselling in management of hypertension and diabetes in an urban community of Manipur, India.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 51 cases each in intervention and control groups. Study population was known cases of hypertension and/or diabetes. One-on-one lifestyle counselling was done on the four risk behaviors i.e, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, tobacco and alcohol use. Effectiveness was assessed by a modified version of WHO STEPS questionnaire and physical and biochemical measurements collected at baseline and 6 months post-intervention. Chi-square test, independent t-test and paired t-test were used to compare the continuous variables between the two groups and within the group.
Results: There was no significant difference at baseline and post-intervention blood pressure, BMI and waist-hip ratio and random blood sugar between intervention and control group.
However, within group comparison showed a significant decrease in random blood sugar in the control group (p=0.044).
Conclusions:
Our results found no effect of the intervention among people with hypertension and diabetes. More intensive intervention with several sessions might be required to see a significant change in the control of hypertension and diabetes.

Favorable Conditions for Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis in Rotating Protomagnetar Winds

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The neutrino-driven wind cooling phase of proto-neutron stars (PNSs) follows successful supernovae. Wind models without magnetic fields or rotation fail to achieve the necessary conditions for production of the third r-process peak, but robustly produce a weak r-process in neutron-rich winds. Using 2D magnetohydrodynamic simulations with magnetar-strength magnetic fields and rotation, we show that the PNS rotation rate significantly affects the thermodynamic conditions of the wind. We show that high-entropy material is quasiperiodically ejected from the closed zone of the PNS magnetosphere with the required thermodynamic conditions to produce heavy elements. We show that maximum entropy S of the material ejected depends systematically on the magnetar spin period P
