Published: July 2024

IntroductionThe Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) program was officially launched in Jordan in 2021. Since its inception, no studies have examined the effectiveness of the program. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness and outcomes of the NHS program in Jordan.MethodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the program coverage rate, referral rate, loss to follow-up rate and the hearing status of newborns who successfully completed the necessary diagnostic assessment. Live births in all hospitals administered by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Jordan from July 2021 to November 2023 were included.ResultsOut of 25,825 newborns delivered, 99.4% (25,682) were screened. A referral rate of 0.7% (189) was recorded. Approximately 61.9% of those referred (n = 117) had normal hearing, while 31.7% (60 infants) were diagnosed with hearing loss. The prevalence of congenital hearing loss was 0.14%, and the mean age for identifying hearing loss was 11 months.DiscussionThe current status of the NHS program in Jordan is promising. The program has achieved most benchmarks recommended by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH), demonstrating encouraging outcomes. There is a need to investigate and address the factors causing delays in the identification of hearing loss in Jordan.

IntroductionLeishmaniasis, a neglected tropical parasitic disease, is regarded as a major public health problem worldwide. The first-line drugs for leishmaniasis suffer from limitations related to toxicity and the development of resistance in certain parasitic strains. Therefore, the discovery of alternative treatments for leishmaniasis is imperative, and natural products represent a valuable source of potential therapeutic agents.MethodsThe present study aimed at finding new potential antileishmanial agents from the aerial parts of the medicinal plant Momordica charantia. This study was based on bioassay-guided fractionation of the M. charantia extract against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. The cytotoxicity of the extract, fractions, and isolated compounds were evaluated against peritoneal murine macrophages by employing the MTT assay for assessing cell metabolic activity.ResultsAntileishmanial assay-guided fractionation of the M. charantia extract led to the bioactive cucurbitacin-enriched fraction and the isolation of four bioactive cucurbitacin-type triterpenoids, which exhibited significant antileishmanial activity, with IC50 values between 2.11 and 3.25 μg.mL−1 against promastigote and amastigote forms, low toxicity and selectivity indexes ranging from 8.5 to 17.2.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that the fractions and cucurbitacin-type triterpenoids obtained from the aerial parts of M. charantia are promising natural leishmanicidal candidates.

Authors: Çiftçi Muhammet Cihat , Yılmaz Baki 
Published: July 2024

IntroductionAction observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are cognitive processes that involve mentally rehearsing and simulating movements without physically performing them. However, the need for the evidence to support influence of imagery on performance is increasing. This study aims to investigate the impact of combining motor imagery with action observation on athletes’ performance and performance perception.MethodUsing a pre-test post-test design with a factorial setup, participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. A pre-research power analysis determined the sample size, resulting in 21 voluntary participants (10 male). Opto Jump device recorded drop jump performance measurements, while participants predicted their performance post-motor imagery and action observation practices. The experimental group underwent an 8-week AOMI intervention program, involving 24-minute motor imagery sessions during video observation thrice weekly. Post-test measurements were taken after the intervention.ResultsResults indicated no significant performance increase in the experimental group post-intervention, yet the group showed enhanced performance estimation following the video observation, but not in motor imagery condition. Conversely, this improvement was absent in the control group.DiscussionAlthough AOMI intervention didn’t enhance physical performance, it has positively affected athletes’ perception toward their performance. The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature.

IntroductionYouth e-cigarette (EC) use has rapidly increased in the last few years. It is crucial to identify the susceptible youth and prevent them from EC uptake. This study was conducted to investigate factors that affect youth susceptibility to EC use.MethodsThis study employed a cross-sectional survey design, utilizing multi-center stratified cluster sampling method to select two junior high schools and two senior high schools in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. One-third of classes of each grade in the selected schools were involved in this survey. After obtaining the informed consent of parents, an anonymous and self-administered questionnaire was distributed to students. Questionnaire was designed based on the Ecological Models of Health Behavior. Associations between EC susceptibility and covariates were identified using multivariate logistic regression.ResultsAmong 2,270 students who had never vaped, 38.0% were susceptible to ECs. Logistic regression analysis identified factors on different levels affecting the susceptibility. Individual factors included senior high school students (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.08–1.65), sensation seeker (OR = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.08–1.14), poor academic performance (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.01–1.54), ever cigarette user (OR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.29–4.01), unaware of the second-hand smoke from vaping (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.25–1.96), agreeable with “I do not want to hang around vapers” (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.64–0.97), agreeable with “ECs are more fashionable than cigarette” (OR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.72–3.62) and favorable attitudes toward vaping (OR = 5.09, 95% CI: 3.78–6.85) were significantly associated with susceptibility to ECs. At interpersonal level, students who believe they would not be punished by parents for vaping increased susceptibility (OR = 1.27, 95% CI:1.01–1.59). At community level, exposure of EC advertising (OR = 1.81, 95% CI:1.46–2.25), exposure to hazard information (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.59–0.97) and seeing vaping in daily life (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.62–2.74), were statistically significantly associated with youth susceptibility to ECs.ConclusionEC susceptibility was observed in a substantial proportion of adolescents who had never vaped, influenced by factors on different levels. This research underscores the urgent need for comprehensive intervention strategies to prevent the youth susceptibility to ECs.

IntroductionArts and health practice and research has expanded rapidly since the turn of the millennium. A World Health Organization scoping review of a large body of evidence claims positive health benefits from arts participation and makes recommendations for policy and implementation of arts for health initiatives. A more recent scoping review (CultureForHealth) also claims that current evidence is sufficient to form recommendations for policy and practice. However, scoping reviews of arts and health research—without critical appraisal of included studies—do not provide a sound basis for recommendations on the wider implantation of healthcare interventions.MethodsWe performed a detailed assessment of 18 Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) on arts-based interventions included in Section 1 of the CultureForHealth report using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for RCTs (2023).ResultsThe 18 RCTs included demonstrated considerable risks of bias regarding internal and statistical conclusion validity. Moreover, the trials are substantially heterogeneous with respect to settings, health-issues, interventions, and outcomes, which limits their external validity, reliability, and generalisability.ConclusionsThe absence of a critical appraisal of studies included in the CultureForHealth report leads to an overinterpretation and overstatement of the health outcomes of arts-based interventions. As such, the CultureForHealth review is not a suitable foundation for policy recommendations, nor for formulating guidance on implementation of arts-based interventions for health.

Centaurea thracica (Janka) Hayek is a plant common in southern Bulgaria. The inflorescences were collected during June and September 2021, while their seeds were obtained in September 2021. The chemical and lipid composition of the inflorescences during the vegetation process of the plant were established. A significant decrease in total proteins (from 8.7 to 7.4%), glyceride oils (2.0–1.7%), and ash (4.5–4.2%) content was observed, while the amount of carbohydrates (72.3–77.2%) and fibers (28.7–35.8%) increased. During the vegetation of the plant, the content of oleic and linoleic acids increased up to 2–3 times, while the level of palmitic acid decreased. The lipids from the seeds were rich in oleic (53.0%) and palmitic (36.2%) acids. The tocopherol content in the oils of the inflorescences during vegetation increased from 58 to 110 mg/kg, and the content in the oil from the seeds was 260 mg/kg. The phospholipid content decreased during vegetation, and differences were observed in the composition between the inflorescences and the seeds. The high content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, tocopherols, and phospholipids determine the nutritional and biological value of the oils isolated from Centaurea thracica, and contribute to their potential use in various directions.
« À qui perd gagne » : les joyeuses apocalypses de La Marche de Radetzky et du Temps retrouvé
Authors: Chardin Philippe 
Published: July 2024

Wie man einen Verlust in einen Gewinn umwandeln kann. „Fröhliche Apokalypsen” in den Romanen Die wiedergefundene Zeit und Radetzkymarsch.
Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit und Radetzkymarsch beginnen jeweils mit einer hohen Tat, die in Wirklichkeit eine Niederlage verdeckt. Der Schluss der beiden Romane beruht auf einem entgegengesetzten Umschlag. Trotz der vergleichbaren Allgegenwart des Untergangs bzw. der Trauer am Ende der beiden Romane, insbesondere wenn es um die Symbole der alten Welt geht (die Familien Guermantes und Trotta), wird die Apokalypse dort etwas „Fröhliches“ an sich haben. Nach einer Phase des vollständigen Glaubensverlustes (Verlust des Glaubens an die bisherige literarische bzw. militärische Berufung) erlangt das Leben des Protagonisten wieder einen Sinn, der seinen Kindheitsträumen durchaus entspricht. Und die Erinnerung an die „Welt von gestern“, die sowohl die Figuren jener Romane als auch die Leser behalten, wird durch die emotionsgeladene Inszenierung ihres Verschwindens verschönert, wenn nicht verklärt.
Guerres et conflits, ethnies et nations

Kriege und Konflikte, Ethnien und Nationen
Die von Alexius Meinong in zwei Zeitungsartikeln im Jahr 1873 aufgestellten Thesen werden zum Paradigma eines Gefühls gemacht, das der jungen österreichischen Intelligenz zueigen war. Meinong vertritt die Anschauung, dass das Leben ein Kampf und die Geschichte eine Reihe von Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Nationen sei. Seiner Ansicht nach steht die Verteidigung der Interessen eines Volkes an erster Stelle und erzeugt Konflikte zwischen den Nationen, was in der Zukunft immer bestimmender werden wird. Das Konzept der Nation wirkt nach innen als Identifikation und nach außen als Abgrenzung. Diese Thesen werden im Rahmen der verschiedenen Studentenverbindungen der Universität Wien diskutiert, wo die Elite der Gesellschaft ausgebildet wurde, die der Nationalismus trotz unterschiedlicher politischer Ideen vereint. Schließlich werden die entgegengesetzten Auffassungen von Eric J. Hobsbawm und Anthony D. Smith über die Idee der Nation analysiert und einige Ähnlichkeiten zwischen dem Habsburgerreich und der Europäischen Union vorgeschlagen.

Published: July 2024

В статье рассмотрены вопросы принятия статистических решений для биномиально распределенных случайных величин. Рассматривается два варианта решающих процедур: 1) Решающее правило, получаемое по методу оценки параметров; 2) Решающее правило, использующее условный критерий. Две решающие правила, основанные на оценке параметров и на условном критерии, ввиду дискретности рассматриваемого распределения, можно сравнить между собой на конкретных примерах.
The article deals with the issues of making statistical decisions for binomially distributed random variables. Two variants of decision procedures are considered: 1) The decision rule obtained by the parameter estimation method; 2) A decision rule using a conditional criterion. Two decision rules based on the estimation of parameters and on a conditional criterion, due to the discreteness of the considered distribution, can be compared with each other on specific examples.
PROSPECTS AND RISKS OF DEVELOPMENT OF GAS HYDRATE RESOURCES

Published: July 2024

Газовые гидраты рассматриваются в качестве источника газа (метана), который может составить реальную конкуренцию традиционным месторождениям природного газа в силу неисчерпаемости своих ресурсов или же рассматриваться в качестве резерва углеводородного сырья будущего на дальнесрочную перспективу. Энергетический потенциал газогидратов на Земле, по мнению многих исследователей, как в России, так и за рубежом, превышает потенциал всех прочих (нефть, газ, уголь) горючих ископаемых вместе взятых. Причем на долю России приходится едва ли не большая их часть, поскольку ее береговая линия весьма протяженна, а более 60% территории - это зона вечной мерзлоты, в которых содержатся газогидраты.
Gas hydrates are considered as a source of gas (methane), which can make real competition conventional natural gas fields by virtue of their inexhaustible resource, or considered as a reserve for future hydrocarbon long-term prospect. The energy potential of gas hydrates in the world, according to many researchers, both in Russia and abroad, exceeds the capacity of all other (oil, gas, coal) of fossil fuels combined. Moreover, Russia accounts for perhaps most of them, because its coastline is quite a stretch and more than 60% of the territory a zone of permafrost, which contain gas hydrates.

Controls of Atmospheric Methane on Early Earth and Inhabited Earth-like Terrestrial Exoplanets
Authors: Akahori Aika , Watanabe Yasuto , Tajika Eiichi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Methane (CH4) is a primarily biogenic greenhouse gas. As such, it represents an essential biosignature to search for life on exoplanets. Atmospheric CH4 abundance on Earth-like inhabited exoplanets is likely controlled by marine biogenic production and atmospheric photochemical consumption. Such interactions have been previously examined for the case of the early Earth where primitive marine ecosystems supplied CH4 to the atmosphere, showing that the atmospheric CH4 response to biogenic CH4 flux variations is nonlinear, a critical property when assessing CH4 reliability as a biosignature. However, the contributions of atmospheric photochemistry, metabolic reactions, or solar irradiance to this nonlinear response are not well understood. Using an atmospheric photochemical model and a marine microbial ecosystem model, we show that the production of hydroxyl radicals from water vapor photodissociation is a critical factor controlling the atmospheric CH4 abundance. Consequently, atmospheric CH4 partial pressure (pCH4) on inhabited Earth-like exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars (F-, G-, and K-type stars) would be controlled primarily by stellar irradiance. Specifically, irradiance at wavelengths of approximately 200–210 nm is a major controlling factor for atmospheric pCH4 when the carbon dioxide partial pressure is sufficiently high to absorb most stellar irradiance at 170–200 nm. Finally, we also demonstrated that inhabited exoplanets orbiting near the outer edge of K-type stars’ habitable zones are better suited for atmospheric pCH4 buildup. Such properties will provide valuable support for future detection of life signatures.
