Authors: Zahmatkesh Masumeh , Faal Siahkal Shahla , Alahverdi Fatemeh , Tahmasebi Golshan , Ebrahimi Elham 
Published: July 2024

Background
Pregnancy loss and mourning can lead to psychological adverse effects on women’s quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of art therapy on the quality of life of women with pregnancy loss.

Methods
This study was a randomized clinical trial performed on 60 women who recently experienced abortion or stillbirth. After randomization in two groups (30 in each group), women in the intervention group received four session art therapy. In the control group, routine care was performed. The Perinatal Grief Scale and World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire, short version 26, was used to collect data before and eight weeks after intervention, and the result was compared before and after the intervention in both groups.

Results
The mean age of participants was 26.5±4.75 years. Eight weeks after the intervention, the mean score of the total quality of life was significantly different between the two groups (348.64±13.12 vs.254.46±58.35; P>0.01). Also, all physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of quality of life improved in the art therapy group compared to the control group (P>0.01).

Conclusions
Art therapy could improve the quality-of-life following pregnancy loss, and can be recommended as a complementary method next to routine care.

Background
Improvements in standard precaution related to infection prevention and control (IPC) at the national and local-level health facilities (HFs) are critical to ensuring patient’s safety, preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), mitigating Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), protecting health workers, and improving trust in HFs. This study aimed to assess HF’s readiness to implement standard precautions for IPC in Nepal.

Methods
This study conducted a secondary analysis of the nationally-representative Nepal Health Facility Survey (NHFS) 2021 data and used the Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) Manual from the World Health Organization (WHO) to examine the HF’s readiness to implement standard precautions for IPC. The readiness score for IPC was calculated for eight service delivery domains based on the availability of eight tracer items: guidelines for standard precautions, latex gloves, soap and running water or alcohol-based hand rub, single use of standard disposal or auto-disable syringes, disinfectant, safe final disposal of sharps, safe final disposal of infectious wastes, and appropriate storage of infectious waste. We used simple and multiple linear regression and quantile regression models to examine the association of HF’s readiness with their characteristics. Results were presented as beta (β) coefficients and 95% confidence interval (95% CI).

Results
The overall readiness scores of all HFs, federal/provincial hospitals, local HFs, and private hospitals were 59.9±15.6, 67.1±14.4, 59.6±15.6, and 62.6±15.5, respectively. Across all eight health service delivery domains, the HFs’ readiness for tuberculosis services was the lowest (57.8±20.0) and highest for delivery and newborn care services (67.1±15.6). The HFs performing quality assurance activities (β = 3.68; 95%CI: 1.84, 5.51), reviewing clients’ opinions (β = 6.66; 95%CI: 2.54, 10.77), and HFs with a monthly meeting (β = 3.28; 95%CI: 1.08, 5.49) had higher readiness scores. The HFs from Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim had readiness scores higher by 7.80 (95%CI: 5.24, 10.36), 7.73 (95%CI: 4.83, 10.62), 4.76 (95%CI: 2.00, 7.52), 9.40 (95%CI: 6.11, 12.68), and 3.77 (95%CI: 0.81, 6.74) compared to Koshi.

Conclusion
The readiness of HFs to implement standard precautions was higher in HFs with quality assurance activities, monthly HF meetings, and mechanisms for reviewing clients’ opinions. Emphasizing quality assurance activities, implementing client feedback mechanisms, and promoting effective management practices in HFs with poor readiness can help to enhance IPC efforts.

When spectral covers are unbounded, we manage to take limits of the renormalized Higgs fields which are intrinsically characterized by the convergence of the associated spectral covers.
This gives a simpler proof for Taubes’ results on rank two solutions over Kähler surfaces together with a new complex geometric interpretation.

The Urgent Need for a Carve Out Exception in the United Nations Security Council Veto Power
Authors: Johnson Kevin 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The present article analyzes the ineffectiveness of the United Nations’ enforcement of biological warfare violations. After the Biological Warfare Convention (BWC) of 1972, little has been done to punish violations. This is in part to the failure of the BWC to implement an accountability system. Additionally, the sanctioning powers of the United Nations Security Council have been routinely stymied by the veto powers of the five permanent members (China, Russia, United States, United Kingdom, and France). To ensure countries abide by the BWC, a solution is needed regarding veto powers. This article proposes that the United States should pursue a United Nations amendment creating a narrow carve-out exception of the veto power in relation to biological warfare violations.

Analyzing the efficacy of waste marble and glass powder for the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete using machine learning strategies
Authors: Guan Qing Tao , Tong Zhong Ling , Amin Muhammad Nasir , Iftikhar Bawar , Qadir Muhammad Tahir , Khan Kaffayatullah 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is well-known for its capacity to flow under its own weight, which eliminates the need for mechanical vibration and provides benefits such as less labor and faster construction time. Nevertheless, the increased cement content of SCC results in an increase in both costs and carbon emissions. These challenges are resolved in this research by utilizing waste marble and glass powder as cement substitutes. The main objective of this study is to create machine learning models that can predict the compressive strength (CS) of SCC using gene expression programming (GEP) and multi-expression programming (MEP) that produce mathematical equations to capture the correlations between variables. The models’ performance is assessed using statistical metrics, and hyperparameter optimization is conducted on an experimental dataset consisting of eight independent variables. The results indicate that the MEP model outperforms the GEP model, with an R
2 value of 0.94 compared to 0.90. Moreover, the sensitivity and SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis revealed that the most significant factor influencing CS is curing time, followed by slump flow and cement quantity. A sustainable approach to SCC design is presented in this study, which improves efficacy and minimizes the need for testing.

Authors: Calvo Díaz Andrea 
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual approach to the study of religion through an intercultural and interdisciplinary perspective. As an example, it considers hagiography and its various manifestations in the artistic and cultural domains, among others. This study proposes three points of discussion. Firstly, it addresses an approach and delimitation of the religious aspect, specifically focusing on the worship of San Benito de Nursia. Additionally, it considers the Latin American political context and its approach to religión. Secondly, it characterizes the religious aspect through the veneration of the Black Christ of Esquipulas and the Marian rite of the Candelaria, which involves the syncretism of the Pachamama. Lastly, it emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to religious topics, using the hagiography of Santo Domingo de Heredia as an example. In summary, this study proposes three axes of analysis to evaluate the significance of interdisciplinary studies in the field of religion.

Published: July 2024

Ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus) mempunyai kemampuan tinggi dalam bereproduksi, sehingga sulit untuk mencegah inbreeding yang menyebabkan lambatnya pertumbuhan. Salah satu alternatifnya adalah dengan maskulinisasi atau budidaya ikan monoseks dengan satu jenis kelamin saja. Madu memiliki kandungan chrysin dan kalsium yang berperan dalam maskulinisasi. Tujuan dari riset ini idalah mengevaluasi penggunaan madu hutan dari Desa Pohea melalui perendaman dengan tiga level dosis yang berbeda terhadap persentase jantan, pertumbuhan mutlak serta kelangsungan hidup dari larva ikan nila. Ikan uji pada penelitian ini merupakan larva dari ikan nila umur 7 hari, dengan panjang 4,01±0,03 mm. Metode pemberian madu melalui perendaman selama 24 jam. Perlakuan terdiri dari tiga dosis madu yang berbeda yaitu dosis 1% (A), 1,5% (B), dan 2% (C), sedangkan kontrol tanpa perendaman madu (D). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pemberian madu hutan secara signifikan (P<0,05) memberikan persentase jantan yang lebih tinngi dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Pertumbuhan mutlak pada larva yang diberikan dosis madu 2% (C) signifikan memberikan pengaruh nyata (P<0,05) dibandingkan dengan tanpa pemberian madu atau kontrol (D). Kelangsungan hidup larva menunjukkan bahwa pemberian madu mampu memberikan kelangsungan hidup yang signifikan lebih tinggi atau berbeda nyata (P<0,05) dibandingkan dengan tanpa pemberian madu atau kontrol (D). Dosis terbaik yang mampu meningkatkan persentase jantan, pertumbuhan mutlak, dan kelangsungan hidup adalah perlakuan dengan dosis 2% (C).Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has a high reproductive ability leading to difficulty in preventing inbreeding which causes slow growth. Suppressing the effects of this trait can be done through masculinization or "monosex fish farming”. Honey contains chrysin and calcium, which play a role in masculinization. This study set out to assess the effects of forest honey, administered in varying doses via immersion method, on the survival rate, growth rate, and percentage of male tilapia larvae. The fish used in this study were tilapia larvae at 7 days old, with an average length of 4.01±0.02 mm. The method of giving honey was through immersion for 24 h. The treatment consisted of three different doses, namely 1% (A), 1,5% (B), and 2% (C), while the control was without honey (D). The findings of this study revealed that providing forest honey significantly (P<0,05) increased the percentage of males compared to the control. The absolute growth of larvae given a dose of 2% honey (C) was significantly different (P<0,05) from the control (D). The survival rate of larvae revealed that honey treatment provided significant (P<0,05) benefits over the control (D). The best dose that was able to increase the percentage of males, absolute growth, and survival rate was the treatment with a dose of 2% (C).

Published: July 2024

Ikan sumatra (Puntius tetrazona) memiliki beberapa varietas, meliputi tiger barb, hijau, albino, dan balon. Namun, belum diketahui karaker genetiknya menggunakan DNA barcoding terhadap spesies asal perairan di Sumatra Selatan. Tujuan dilaksanakannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persentase kemiripan sekuen gen cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI) DNA mitokondria, jarak genetik dan filogenetik ikan sumatra alam serta budidaya. Penelitian barcoding DNA pada ikan sumatra dilakukan dengan beberapa tahap terdiri atas isolasi DNA, perbanyakan DNA berdasarkan polymerase chain reaction (PCR), elektroforesis, dan sekuensing gen COI pada mtDNA. Ikan sumatra dari alam berasal dari Sungai Lematang (n=2), Sungai Musi (n=2), dan dari budidaya komersial (n=7) dikoleksi di wilayah Palembang. Produk gen COI mtDNA berhasil diperoleh menggunakan metode PCR dengan suhu penempelan primer 51℃ selama 30 detik dalam 35 siklus. Sekuensing gen COI menghasilkan panjang nukleotida 604 bp. BLAST-N menunjukkan ikan sumatra dari alam (Sungai Lematang dan Sungai Musi) memiliki persentase kemiripan lebih kecil (94,56-95,16%) dibandingkan dari budidaya (99,55-100%) terhadap P. tetrazona yang diperoleh dari pusat data Genbank. Konstruksi filogenetik terbentuk dua subcluster yang terpisah antara ikan sumatra alam dan budidaya dengan jarak genetik 0,046 ± 0,00, menunjukkan perbedaan genetik antara kedua populasi.Sumatra barb (Puntius tetrazona) had several strains, including tiger barb, green tiger barb, albino tiger barb, and balloon tiger barb. However, its genetic characteristics are not yet known using DNA barcoding in species from waters in South Sumatra. This study aimed to analyse similarity percentage, genetic distance, and phylogenetic construction of wild and cultured sumatra barb based on the sequence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene on the mitochondrial DNA. The methods conducted in barcoding DNA were performed with several steps consisting of DNA isolations, DNA amplification based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), electrophoresis, and sequencing of COI of mtDNA. The wild sumatra barb were obtained from Lematang River (n=2), Musi River (n=2), and those from commercial fish farming (n=7) were collected in Palembang. The mtDNA COI gene were acquired from PCR with an annealing temperature of 51℃ for 30 seconds in 35 cycles. The COI gene of sumatra barb had a nucleotide length of 604 bp. BLAST-N indicated that the wild sumatra barb (Lematang and Musi Rivers) had a lower similarity (94.56-95.16%) than the cultured samples (99.55-100%) to P. tetrazona obtained from Genbank database. The phylogenetic construction formed two separated subclusters between the wild and cultured sumatra barb with a genetic distance of 0.046 ± 0.001 indicated a genetic difference between two populations.

Published: July 2024

Успешное старение – один из ведущих трендов в междисциплинарных исследованиях. Большая часть исследований рассматривает фактический уровень дохода и его влияние на субъективное благополучие пенсионеров. В данной статье представлены результаты исследования, направленного на анализ факторов, определяющих удовлетворенность доходом среди пенсионеров. Основываясь на данных, собранных в Челябинской области, показано, как формируется понимание сложной детерминации удовлетворенности материальным положением в период поздней социализации. Исследование демонстрирует, что удовлетворенность доходом на пенсии не является результатом исключительно социально-­эко­номических факторов, но зависит от биологических и когнитивных факторов, а также от общего уровня субъективного благополучия. Одним из выводов является идентификация когнитивных переменных, таких как позитивные базисные убеждения и временной фокус на настоящем, как значимых предикторов удовлетворенности доходом. Эти факторы действуют как медиаторы, опосредующие влияние социально-­экономических и биологических переменных на экономическое благополучие. В исследовании показана специфическая роль когнитивных переменных в процессе поздней социализации и дано расширенное представление о механизмах, лежащих в основе удовлетворенности материальным положением пенсионеров. На основе полученных данных авторы рекомендуют когнитивно-­поведенческую терапию в предпенсионный период для коррекции представлений о себе, о своем возрасте, профессиональном уровне и окружающем мире с целью повышения уровня субъективного экономического благополучия на пенсии. Такой подход может способствовать улучшению общего благополучия и удовлетворенности жизнью на пенсии. Исследование подтверждает необходимость комплексного подхода к анализу удовлетворенности доходом на пенсии и предлагает новые направления для будущих исследований и разработки социальных программ поддержки пенсионеров.

Background. In case of ineffective conservative antiepileptic therapy, surgical treatment aimed at removing the epileptogenic focus may be applied. Resection procedures allow to eliminate seizures in most patients, but in 20–30% cases they persist or recur, thereby proposing to use some neuromodulation.Objective: to assess effectiveness of neuromodulation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) after failed resection surgical interventions.Material and methods. A retrospective data analysis was carried out involving 23 DRE patients who had undergone vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) or deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) or hippocampus (HP) after failed surgeries. The VNS system was implanted in 18 (78.3%) patients, the HP-DBS system – in 3 (13.0%), and the ANT-DBS system – in 2 (8.7%). The results after surgical interventions were assessed according to the Engel scale, VNS therapy – by the McHugh (MH) scale, DBS therapy – by the degree of reduced seizure rate as a percentage. The average follow-up was 56.5 months.Results. Patients with implanted VNS system were found to have the outcome presented as MH Ia–IIb in 3 (16.7%) cases, MH IIIa–IIIb in 10 (55.5%) cases, MH IV–V in 5 (27.8%) cases. In HP-DBS group, 2 out of 3 patients showed a decline in seizure rate by more than 50% from the baseline level, and 1 patient experienced an improvement in seizure severity. In the ANT-DBS group, one patient had a 60% reduction in seizure rate and an improvement in seizure severity, another one showed no change in seizure rate.Conclusion. Neuromodulation in DRE patients can significantly lower seizure rate in more than half of patients after failed surgical treatment.

Abstract

Background: ‘One health’, a concept that highlights the need to bring on board multiple players and actors together to addressing major health problems, have been proposed to be effective in data gathering to mitigate the menace of antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR). Data on MDR and extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producingEscherichia coli(ESBL-EC) across humans, animals and the environment are limited in low-and-middle-income-countries (LMICs) including Ghana.Objective: This study used one health approach to determine the prevalence, antibiogram and AMR genes of ESBL-ECfrom diverse sources.Methodology: A cross-sectional study conducted in the Accra and Tema metropolis, Ghana. We randomly collected 1500 non-duplicated specimens from healthy human, cattle, pigs, lettuce, spring onions, pork, beef and soil samples.Escherichia coli(E. coli)was isolated and confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS.E. coliisolates were screened for their susceptibility against 13 antibiotic agents and ESBL-production. ESBL-ECisolates were whole-genome sequenced (WGS) andin silicoanalysis was used to determine AMR genes, sequence types (STs) and plasmid replicon types.Result: Overall,E. coliwas recovered from 140 of 1500 (9.3%) specimens processed. About one-third of theseE. coliisolates 50 (35.7%) were resistant to three or more antibiotics, and 30 (21.5%) were ESBL-EC. The proportion of ESBL-ECidentified in healthy humans, cattle, pig, beef and soil were 14 (20.0%), 9 (22.5%), 3 (15.0%), 1 (50.0%) and 3 (37.5%), respectively. NoE. coliwas isolated from lettuce, spring onions and pork. Overall, the ESBL-ECexhibited high levels of resistance to ampicillin (100%), cefuroxime (100%), ciprofloxacin (53.6%), and to tetracycline (58.2%). However, all ESBL-ECisolates were sensitive to meropenem. The prevalent AMR genes detected wereblaTEM-1B (32.0%; n=8),tetA (48.0%; n=12) andsul2(32.0%; n=8). The dominant STs were ST10 (12%; n=3), ST 9312 (12%; n=3), ST 206 (12%; n=3) and ST 4151 (12%; n=3). IncFIB(Apoo1918) (40.0%; n=10) and IncFII(pCoo) (36.0%; n=9) plasmid replicons were commonly detected.Conclusion: Within the metropolis surveyed, we identified MDR ESBL-ECharbouring various AMR genes and plasmid replicons with diverseE. coliSTs in healthy humans, animals and the environment. This study finding ofblaCTX-M-15 in agricultural soil isolate is worrisome, emphasizing the need for a one-health approach in combating AMR.
