Multifunctional Role of Tamil Material Catholicism
Authors: Ponniah James , Perry Melissa Shamini 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This comparative study explores the significance of Catholic material religion of the Tamils in India and Malaysia in the celebration of Our Lady of Vēlānkaṉṉi feast which involves a complex interplay of materiality, religious beliefs, and embodied practices. Employing Plate and Bruland’s understandings of material religion, and based on ethnographic study, this essay seeks to unravel the power of material objects and embodied practices to replicate sacred spaces in new locales and to deliver the pilgrims new experiences of religious sensibilities and personal fulfilment in the sphere of divine and human relations. The findings reveal that material religion functions as a tangible, religious and nostalgic link to the original shrine of Vēlānkaṉṉi and as a symbol of filial piety to the motherhood of Mary for the Tamil community in both sites. This paper highlights the role of material Catholicism in fostering Marian devotion and in shaping and displaying people’s personal, religious and cultural identity.

الملخص
‫تُعَدُّ المدنُ التاريخيةُ مساحاتٍ ثقافيةٍ، ذاتِ مرجعيةٍ قيميَّةٍ مزدوجةٍ، اجتماعية واقتصادية، لذلك تتأثر بتحولات النظم الاجتماعية – التقنية الحضرية، ولا سيما في سياق الاستخدام المتزايد للنظم والفواعل التقنية غير البشرية التي قد تؤدي للازدهار الاقتصادي أحياناً، أو إلى تدهور المساحات الحضرية، وعزلها عن سياقها لصالح التحديث في أحيان أخرى. وهذا هو ما سيتم تقييمه من خلال القيمة الإنتاجية الحضرية.‬
‫لذلك، وانطلاقاً من المرجعية القيمية الاجتماعية للثقافة، يستعير البحث عدسة الجغرافيا الثقافية لتأويل المدينة كنصٍّ اجتماعي، وفكِّ رموزه، من خلال نموذج ثلاثي يضم معايير قيميَّة مزدوجة، اجتماعية وأيديولوجية، ذات أداء اقتصادي، ويناقش التركز المكاني لهذه القيم، وفق أنساق وتكتلات منهجية على الأرض، تتفاوت في كثافتها وحجمها وامتدادها، بالاعتماد على الاستبانات الاجتماعية الوصفية.‬
‫تتوصل الدراسة التحليلية، اعتماداً على الإطار القِيَمَيِّ الثقافي، إلى حدود المناطق الثقافية، والاتجاهات المكانية للتفاعل بين البنى التحتية الثقافية، وتراكباتها التي تدمج جميع المقاييس الجغرافية في إطار العولمة، أو تأخذ التنوع الاجتماعي في الحسبان. فعكست الهياكل الأساسية (البنى التحتية) الحضرية جزءاً من الآلية السياسية الحيوية لمدينة دمشق، المعتمدة على ركائز الإنتاجية الحضرية، المرتبطة بأنماط الإنتاج، وروابط الإنتاج.‬
‫ناقش البحثُ علاقة إنتاج المكان، وإنتاج التشكيلات الاجتماعية، ضمن مدينة دمشق التاريخية، من خلال ركائز الإنتاجية الحضرية الاقتصادية، التي تضمنت البنى التحتية للمناطق الثقافية، على اعتبار أن المدن هي مُنتَج وليس قطعةً أثريةً، حيث يكون لكل منتج قيمة قابلة للتبادل، مادياً أو معنوياً. وأظهرت دراسة التحول من خلال عامل التقدم التقني، في مناطق المداخلات على البنى التحتية، المرتبطة بالقيم الثقافية، أن التحولات على عوامل الإنتاجية الحضرية، من رأسمال بشري، سواءً من المالكين أو المستخدمين أو العاملين، قد تتبلور بعلاقات سلبية، مثل اللاتجانس والنزاع الحضري، من خلال بنى تحتية رقمية، كمواقع إلكترونية تسبب ممارسات كالتعصب الرقمي، أو السرقة الرقمية، أو العنف الرقمي؛ أو تتبلور كعلاقات إنتاجية إيجابية، مثل التشارك والتفاعل الاجتماعي الاقتصادي، من خلال بنى تحتية رقمية، كالمساحات الافتراضية للمتاحف الرقمية (hypermediated)، أو مساحات النقاش العامة الافتراضية التي ينشأ عنها مواطنون رقميون Digital (Natives)، والتسويق الالكتروني، وهو ما يضمن استدامة المدينة وازدهارها الاقتصادي.‬

Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the implementation of digital inquiry-based science learning in a rural primary school classroom in Melaka, Malaysia. The participants were eight Year 4 pupils (10–11 years old). Using a classroom action research approach, the study utilized two action research cycles using the bscs 5E Instructional Model to create lesson plans. The study’s findings reveal that effective digital inquiry-based science learning development in primary schools requires activities that align with and harness pupils’ prior knowledge, cross-curricular applications, differentiated learning, inquiry scaffolding, technological scaffolding, pupils’ technological skills, independent learning, learning by doing, and the opportunity to make connections, express ideas and report discoveries. The study illustrates that digital inquiry-based science learning is well-suited for practice in primary schools, enhancing both teachers’ pedagogical approaches and pupils’ conceptual understanding.

Authors: Chowdhury Sabbir Ahmed 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that may significantly impact children’s academic, social, and emotional health. This study has examined the most recent scholarly research on the influence of adhd on children’s academic performance as well inclusive education protocol in different country contexts. Legal and academic interventions for adhd are well-established in developed countries, but there is a significant gap in addressing the needs of children with adhd in developing countries. This research study aims to fill the gap by suggesting a sustainable formal education protocol designed to meet the specific problems and situations of developing countries. The proposed Strategies-Support Services-Collaboration (ssc) protocol is influenced by concepts of inclusion, equity, and sustainability, aiming to address the different challenges encountered by children with adhd in obtaining quality education. The protocol includes measures for early detection and assessment of adhd, customised academic accommodations and support services, teacher training and capacity-building programmes, and collaborations with community resources and healthcare professionals. This research intends to empower educators, policymakers, and communities by proposing a sustainable formal education protocol. The goal is to establish more inclusive and supportive learning settings for children with adhd, thereby enhancing their academic success and general well-being. Integrating children with adhd into formal school aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal (sdg) 4 which aims to offer inclusive and quality education for everyone.

Published: August 2024

Background Self-compassion is a prevalent factor that has been explored in eating behaviour and weight loss literature. The present study explored the potential relationship between self-compassion and reasons individuals stop eating. Method Two hundred and eighty-three participants were recruited from social media platforms and a research participation scheme at a university in the West Midlands, UK, and completed questionnaires on self-compassion and reasons individuals stop eating. Results The findings suggested that self-compassion was negatively associated with decreased food appeal, self-consciousness, and decreased food priority, whilst being positively associated with physical satisfaction. Conclusion Self-compassion plays a prevalent role in the reasons individuals stop eating, and future research should continue exploring the effect of self-compassion on eating behaviour regulation.

Published: August 2024

Background: Invasive fungal intestinal infections are rare in pediatric patients with limited studies reported to date. Methods: Retrospective study of invasive intestinal fungal infections in pediatric patients. For fungal specification, 18S rRNA gene PCR was performed using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Results: A total of 19 cases from 18 patients were included (13 males, 72%) with a median age of 20 days (8 days–14 years). About 13 patients (72%) presented within 67 days of birth and 11 patients (61%) were premature and 14 patients (78%) had a significant medical history. The most common location was the jejunum/ileum (56%) followed by the right colon and terminal ileum (22%). In 10 patients, the fungal elements were seen in the mucosa with 3 extending into the submucosa, and only 3 patients showed full-thickness involvement. Tissue necrosis and angioinvasion were seen in 13 (72%) and 8 (44%) patients, respectively. Morphologically, organisms consistent with Candida spp. were seen in 17 patients and with a mucoraceous mold in 1 patient. A 18S rRNA gene sequencing performed in 18 cases identified Candida dubliniensis in 16 cases and Candida spp. in 2 cases. During the study follow-up period, 56% of the patients died. Conclusion: In our experience, most cases were due to Candida spp. and predominantly in premature infants and associated with poor outcomes.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Contact with pets within healthcare settings is considered worldwide an added value to assistance both in the case of animal-assisted interventions and also when pets are visiting hospitalized owners, due to the special emotional relationship between them and their pets. The goal of this work was to analyze local experiences on access of pets to healthcare facilities using a survey sent to doctors, veterinarians, and students in the region of Sardinia (Italy). Methods: The online survey consisted of 17 questions, with the objective to evaluate knowledge and interest of study participants on some aspects of human–animal interaction with particular reference to potential access of pets to hospitals facilities and nursing homes and to promote an initial social judgment in the medical and healthcare environment. A total of 2484 subjects were invited to participate to the survey through an email explaining the purpose of the study. Statistical analysis on the survey results was conducted by comparing the characteristics of respondents with their answers to animal-assisted-intervention-related questions. Results: Results showed that over 70% of the participants owned an animal; almost 80% of responses showed that survey participants were in favor of animal presence in hospitals; furthermore, the responses showed how the concept of One Health seems not only scarcely established, but also barely known. The large majority of respondents (over 80%) positively responded on questions around the role of animals as co-therapists. Conclusions: On the one hand, this study showed lack of knowledge on the concept of One Health, whose essence is too often unknown and, on the other hand, it confirmed that women may be more inclined to show empathy and sensitivity toward animals. Regarding the profession, students seem more concerned about the introduction of animals into hospitals than healthcare workers.

Published: August 2024

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy has gained prominence in obesity treatment, yet it is not without complications, such as the development of anemia in the medium term. Given the high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Peru, it is imperative to explore its potential association with this postoperative complication. Objective: To evaluate the association between the presence of Helicobacter pylori and the development of anemia 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out based on an analysis of secondary data from a private clinic in Lima, Peru, which included two groups of people over 18 years of age who had undergone sleeve gastrectomy between 2010 and 2020. We considered the subjects who had the previous diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori as well as those who did not have the infection, according to the detection of the bacteria by endoscopy before surgery. Results: A total 313 individuals were analyzed, and it was found that the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori was 46.0% and the incidence of anemia 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy was 18.2%. The presence of Helicobacter pylori increased the risk of de novo anemia (Relative Risk = 1.56; 95% confidence intervals: 1.02–2.41; p = 0.043). When stratifying by sex, the association was maintained only for the male group (Relative Risk = 2.84; 95% confidence intervals: 1.02–7.02; p = 0.047). Conclusions: It was identified that the presence of Helicobacter pylori had a significant association with the development of de novo anemia, mainly in male subjects, 1 year after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

Authors: Baek Gumhee , Cha Chiyoung , Lee Miran , Cho Aram 
Published: August 2024

Background: Healthcare professionals work in challenging environments with extended working hours and excessive workloads to provide high-quality care. However, they hardly get the time to care for themselves. Online mindfulness-based interventions—which are not restricted by time or location—can be a powerful strategy to help healthcare professionals. Objectives: This scoping review aims to explore the current evidence about online mindfulness-based interventions for healthcare professionals. Design: A scoping review was conducted. Methods: A literature search was conducted to retrieve articles published between October 2016 and March 2023 in seven databases, including backward and forward citation tracking from the included articles. Among 1,278 articles retrieved, 33 met the criteria for review. Results: Two-thirds of the studies utilized commercialized mindfulness programs ( n = 22). Duration of the mindfulness interventions varied from 1 week to 4 months, and half of the studies used audio-guided programs. Online mindfulness-based intervention studies were targeted to reduce burnout ( n = 26), and the majority reported reduction in burnout ( n = 18). Conclusion: Most studies used individual audio-guided programs that warrant the use of diverse delivery methods such as video media, simulation, and virtual reality for interactions in the future. Although the literature has accumulated evidence for commercialized online mindfulness-based interventions, further studies are needed to develop and test tailored interventions for healthcare professionals.

Published: August 2024

Study DesignRetrospective study.ObjectiveThis retrospective study primary focus is to investigate the relationship between the C-VBQ score and the occurrence of postoperative zero-profile anchored spacer (ROI-C) interbody fusion cage subsidence. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the C-VBQ scoring system for subsidence in the context of ACDF with the ROI-C.MethodsPatients who underwent ACDF with the ROI-C cage at our hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 were included in this study. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were employed to identify independent risk factors associated with ROI-C cage subsidence after ACDF. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to assess the correlation between the C-VBQ score and the height of ROI-C cage subsidence.ResultsA total of 102 patients underwent ACDF with ROI-C in our hospital were included in this study. Univariate analysis showed that age ( P = 0.021) and C-VBQ score ( P < 0.001) were the influencing factors of cage subsidence. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the subsidence height of ROI-C cage and C-VBQ (r = 0.55, P < 0.01). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that C-VBQ score was the only variable that could significantly predict the subsidence of ROI-C cage after ACDF. Higher C-VBQ score was significantly associated with cage subsidence ( P < 0.001).The AUC was 0.89, and the cutoff value for C-VBQ was 2.70.ConclusionThe findings indicate a significant correlation between a higher C-VBQ score before surgery and ROI-C cage subsidence after ACDF. The preoperative assessment of C-VBQ proves valuable for clinicians, enabling them to identify patients with low bone mineral density and predict the risk of zero-profile anchored spacer interbody fusion cage subsidence following ACDF.
Universal Ultrasound Screening for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Among Infants in Community Settings in Japan: A Scoping Review

Published: August 2024

Introduction Early identification of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is necessary to minimize its negative effects. Ultrasound screening is useful for detecting DDH in hospitals. Awareness about community-based screening systems is low in Japan. Despite established nationwide home visiting services and child health checkups in the country, more than 10% of DDH patients are diagnosed at the age of ≥1 year. This review aimed to clarify the status of universal ultrasound screening for DDH among infants in community settings in Japan. Methods The electronic databases of Igaku Chuo Zasshi, MEDLINE, CHINAL, ERIC, and APA PsycInfo were searched for articles published between 2002 and 2022. Articles were evaluated with the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance framework. Results In total, 148 articles were identified. Two articles were manually added, and 67 articles were excluded through abstract reviews, of which 20 were duplicates. Finally, 18 articles were included in the analysis. There are two types of universal ultrasound screening in community settings: municipality-led and hospital-led. Since 1992, municipality-led screening has been conducted during public infant health checkups in five municipalities. Six hospitals implemented ultrasound screening. The participation rate was around 90%. The Graf method is typically used for this purpose. The prevalence of abnormal hips was 3.6%–16.6%. Owing to limited human resources and skills in ultrasound, all studies mentioned the necessity of a universal screening system for the early detection of DDH. Conclusion Embedding universal ultrasound screening in community health checkup systems enables collaboration between healthcare professionals and caregivers to improve health inequities and ensure early detection of DDH cases.

Published: August 2024

Background: Compassionate communities have been put forward as a promising model for community-based support for people facing serious illness, caregiving, dying, and loss. In particular, educational institutions are increasingly acknowledged as potential settings to function as compassionate schools and compassionate workplaces, cultivating acceptance and validation of these experiences beyond the university setting. Objectives: This paper investigates the activities and outcomes of a compassionate community initiative—the Compassionate University program at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium. Design: Ripple Effects Mapping was used to guide the focus group and individual interviews conducted with core team members responsible for the development and implementation of the Compassionate University program. Methods: During the focus group and individual interviews, the core team members reflected on the program contributions, with their narratives visually depicted via a hand-drawn mind map. Qualitative data derived from this mind map were entered into XMIND mapping software and fine-tuned based on the focus group and individual interview transcripts and additional project records. Results: Thematic analysis identified four outcome areas that encapsulate the key contributions of the Compassionate University program: (i) increased acceptance and integration of topics such as serious illness, death, and bereavement into existing practices; (ii) broader support for and formalization of compassionate procedures and policies; (iii) emergence of informal networks and internal collaboration on the topics; and (iv) diffusion of compassionate ideas beyond the university. Conclusion: The Compassionate University program facilitates a cultural shift within the university environment, fostering greater acceptance of integrating topics such as serious illness, death, and bereavement into existing practices. Additionally, compassionate procedures and policies for students and staff have been formalized, and core team members are increasingly called upon to provide support on these matters. Notably, Compassionate University stands out as one of the pioneering initiatives in Europe, attracting different educational institutions seeking guidance on cultivating a more compassionate environment.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Objective
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with high incidence and mortality. AST-120 is an oral carbonaceous adsorbent that can alleviate kidney damage. This study aimed to explore the effects of AST-120 on renal IRI and the molecular mechanism.

Methods
A renal IRI mouse model was established and administrated AST-120, and differentially expressed genes were screened using RNA sequencing. Renal function and pathology were analyzed in mice. Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cell model was generated, and glycolysis was evaluated by detecting lactate levels and Seahorse analysis. Histone lactylation was analyzed by western blotting, and its relationship with hexokinase 2 (HK2) was assessed using chromatin immunoprecipitation.

Results
The results showed that HK2 expression was increased after IRI, and AST-120 decreased HK2 expression. Knockout of HK2 attenuated renal IRI and inhibits glycolysis. AST-120 inhibited renal IRI in the presence of HK2 rather than HK2 absence. In proximal tubular cells, knockdown of HK2 suppressed glycolysis and H3K18 lactylation caused by H/R. H3K18 lactylation was enriched in HK2 promoter and upregulated HK2 levels. Rescue experiments revealed that lactate reversed IRI that suppressed by HK2 knockdown.

Conclusions
In conclusion, AST-120 alleviates renal IRI via suppressing HK2-mediated glycolysis, which suppresses H3K18 lactylation and further reduces HK2 levels. This study proposes a novel mechanism by which AST-120 alleviates IRI.
