Published: May 2024

Introduction
Motor Competence (MC) is related to the development of healthy lifestyles in children and adolescents, and many studies have compared it with different variables, including sports participation. This investigation aimed to characterize the components and total scores of MC regarding different physical activity practices, such as physical education (PE) classes, futsal, volleyball, and ballet, and to compare MC regarding sports, sex, and age-groups.

Methods
Using a cross-sectional study, 398 Portuguese children and adolescents (398 participants: 200 boys and 198 girls; 12.649±3.46 years) were conveniently chosen between 2022 and 2023. Four groups of different sports were created: PE classes (n = 187), futsal (n = 80), volleyball (n = 101) and ballet (n = 30), and four different age groups: 7 to 9 years old (n = 117); 10 to 12 years old (n = 65), 13 to 15 years old (n = 96) and, 16 to 19 years old (n = 120). All participants reported to participate in at least two training sessions per week (1 hour each) for at least two years. MC was assessed with Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) comprising three components with six tests (two tests for each component). Participants’ total MC was calculated as the average of the three components of the MCA. Data were analyzed by applying ANOVA one-way with LSD post-hoc.

Results
Differences were found in MC among groups, where futsal participants showed better scores in general. Sex comparison showed that boys have a higher MC when practicing futsal, especially compared to volleyball players. Age-group analysis showed that younger participants had better MC levels compared to older ones.

Conclusion
The whole group showed the 50th percentile of MC, but volleyball adolescents showed results below this reference. MC is intrinsically linked to an individual’s motor experiences and motivations rather than depending directly on the specific practice of the sport.

Abstract

Objectives
Congenital tuberculosis (TB) is a rare complication of TB during pregnancy. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging, especially in premature infants due to limited data on drug dosing.

Case presentation
A male infant was born at 33 weeks gestational age to a mother who was hospitalized with respiratory illness and diagnosed with TB after delivery. The diagnosis was based on the presence of granulomas and mycobacteria in the placenta, positive mycobacterium TB PCR in gastric aspirate, and growth of MTB from gastric aspirate and bronchoalveolar lavage cultures. Treatment started initially with isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. The patient’s clinical course was complicated with ongoing respiratory distress and abdominal distension which raise the possibilities of drug resistance, but sensitivity was confirmed by PCR, or malabsorption of the medications due to concerns of abdominal TB. Isoniazid and rifampin doses needed to be adjusted due to low serum drug levels. Ethambutol was replaced by Levofloxacin, due to concerns about drug toxicity and unreliable therapeutic levels, but still there was no clinical improvement which raised the possibility of paradoxical reaction to the treatment, so we started the patient on prednisone for one month and tapered over two weeks. From age two months the patient showed progressive improvement and has by now completed 12 months of therapy with good clinical outcome.

Conclusions
Therapeutic drug monitoring is important for adjusting medication dosage in premature infants due to limited experience in this age group.
Analysis of a New Model of Economic Growth in Renewable Energy for Green Computing
Authors: Long Yunan , Chen Man 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Energy consumption, which works as the physical engine of economic development, significantly influences the environment; using renewable energy, which originates from naturally filled resources, helps mitigate these adverse effects. The high price of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions, and electricity generation are the most difficult aspects of this kind of renewable energy, which is often regarded as one of the main factors holding back economic progress. An artificial neural network-enabled economic growth model (ANN-EGM) has been constructed in this research to predict the restraining and pushing energy variables that impede economic growth. ANN-EGM optimizes the limiting and driving energy forces, which helps to improve the use of renewable energy and assist the economy’s growth. The prominent enhancement in driving economic activity and employment rates may result in cost-effective improvement for the effective production of energy from renewable resources for green computing. The proposed article constructs an ANN-EGM and examines its topological structure and the effect of training errors the network allows on its performance to address issues in green computing technology and sustainable social and economic development. Conventional approaches based on liming and driving energy forces are predicted to be less successful than an ANN-EGM in predicting the increase of the renewable energy industry for green computing and its correlation with quicker economic growth. The study’s findings suggest that the ANN-EGM can accurately forecast and verify the limiting and driving factors in renewable energy generation. The experimental outcome demonstrates that the proposed ANN-EGM model increases the prediction ratio by 85.6% and the performance ratio by 86.4% and has a reduced mean square error rate of 10.1% compared to other existing methods.

Abstract
In order to enhance the aroma and flavor of pork and improve the water retention and binding power of pork, the effects of sensory score, TBARS, TVB-N, total number of colonies, water distribution, color and storage time on pork were studied. SPME-GC-MS was used to detect the flavor changes at different processing stages. The results showed that the storage time of pork products could be extended for 6d after 12 days. Meanwhile, the volatile flavor components of pork before, after and after curing were 71, 54 and 59. After curing, the types of aldehydes and alkenes increased significantly. It can be concluded that the addition of pickling materials can effectively slow down the oxidation of pork lipids and proteins, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and extend the shelf life. It can significantly improve pork flavor and reduce the production of harmful substances such as acrylamide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Language revitalization as a postponed aspiration: anti-essentialist ethnolinguistic identity among Aymaras in Bolivia
Authors: Ravindran Tathagatan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Twenty-first century Bolivia witnessed indigenous resurgence and state promotion of indigenous languages. This article ethnographically examines the impact of these processes on indigenous language revitalization and ethnolinguistic identities in urban spaces. It reveals that language attrition continues because indigenous resurgence occurred at a time when language shift from Aymara to Spanish had already occurred in most households and schools were considered the spaces for learning Aymara. Moreover, although indigenous identity continues to be linked to language, linguistic proficiency no longer determines Aymara identity in a reductionist sense. Most contemporary Aymaras deploy a rhetoric that historically contextualizes the process of language attrition, thereby, asserting an anti-essentialist ethnolinguistic identity. This enables learning Aymara to be an aspiration that is highly valued but can be endlessly postponed. The article points out the limitations of state-led language revitalization policies and calls for creating synergies between state planning from above and communitarian initiatives from below.
Corporate Embodiment as the Pedagogical Foundation of the Pentecostal Tradition
Authors: Vondey Wolfgang 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article examines the pedagogical foundations of Pentecostal theology that are responsible for shaping and sustaining this theological tradition. The formative mechanisms of the Pentecostal tradition are found in the embodied logic of corporately embedded patterns of spiritual practices formed around the “full gospel” of Jesus Christ. The article traces how the Pentecostal tradition emerges from and yields practices associated with the apostolic experience of Jesus intensified with Pentecost by categorizing the dominant corporate forms of embodying the doctrines of salvation, sanctification, Spirit baptism, divine healing, and the expectation of God’s kingdom. This typology suggests that the corporate embodiment of faith identifies most closely the particular contribution of the Pentecostal movement to the Christian life.

Determining Factors that Affect Tax Professional’s Ethics Intention
Authors: Yenni Mangoting  , Maria Anastasia Fidelis Foek  , Stella R. Gomaz  
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This study aims to forecast the inclinations of tax professionals to engage in ethical conduct within their work setting, by examining the impact of their immediate social circle, personal attitudes, and organizational support.
Method: The study utilizes a sample of individuals, both as tax consultant business owners and tax professionals working in a company. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires through Google Forms. A total of 90 questionnaires were analyzed using Partial Least Squares.
Findings: The findings of this study identify that perceived organizational support and subjective norm has a role in influencing the ethical intentions of tax professionals. Furthermore, it is proven that the attitude of tax professionals can mediate the impact of perceived organizational support on ethical intentions. In fact, the role of attitude, influenced by subjective norm, has a greater influence on enhancing the ethical intentions of tax professionals compared to the absence of subjective norm without the role of attitude aspect. The variable in question exhibits an inverse relationship with perceived organizational support, wherein the latter exerts a more significant impact independent of attitude mediation.
Novelty: This research is beneficial for regulators and professional associations as regulators to systematically enhance integrated organizational support within the work environment to influence the ethical intention of tax professionals.

Background: There is strong evidence that alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for fatal road traffic accidents. It is estimated that the number of alcohol-related road accidents remains high in the past few years in Lithuania. This study aims to examine the prevalence of alcohol in blood samples collected from the autopsy results of road traffic accident victims.Materials and methods: A retrospective study of 136 road traffic accident victims was performed in State Forensic Medicine Service of Lithuania in the period of 2013 to 2023. We analyzed blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in relation to sex, age, road user type, place and time of the day at death.Results: 31% of the victims were under influence of alcohol at the time of death, with mean BAC 1.99 ± 0.92‰. The mean BAC was 2.16 ± 0.8‰ in male and 1.18 ± 1.12‰ in female group. By the type of road users, 23% of the pedestrians (mean BAC 2.45 ± 0.71‰), 32% of car drivers (mean BAC 2.13 ± 0.75‰), 41% of vehicle passengers (mean BAC of 1.73 ± 1.19‰), 37% of the motorcycle riders (mean BAC of 1.28 ± 0.53‰), 37% of the cyclists (mean BAC of 1.15 ± 0.75‰) were found to be intoxicated during the time of accident. Highest mean blood alcohol concentration was found during the night time hours (9 p. m. – 5 a. m.) 2.28 ± 0.91, comparing to in afternoon hours (12 p. m. – 5 p. m.) 1.49 ± 0.99, evening hours (5 p. m. – 9 p. m.) 2.10 ± 0.73 and morning hours (5 a. m. – 12 p. m.) 1.94 ± 1.00. The mean BAC in road traffic accidents during summer was 1.48 ± 0.71‰, spring 2.25 ± 0.76‰, autumn 2.12 ± 1‰, winter 2.42 ± 1‰.Conclusions: Alcohol consumption by road users is a significant contributing factor in road traffic accidents and their outcomes in Lithuania.

Background: Infertility is defined as the inability of a sexually active couple to conceive within one year of regular unprotected coitus. Worldwide, it is estimated that 15% of couples are infertile; among them, the male factor is responsible for 50% of cases. This may be the sole underlying cause or a contributory factor to infertility. We aimed to assess the effects of a complementary treatment with a strong antioxidant (levo-carnitine) on sperm function and fertility of infertile men.
Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial study and was conducted in the department of reproductive endocrinology and infertility, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical university (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. during the period from July 2022 to June 2023. In our study, we included 72 infertile men presenting with asthenozoospermia. There were two groups-group A (Participants who received tab levo-carnitine 330 mg twice daily orally for three months) and group B (Tab placebo twice daily orally for three months)
Result: The majority of patients in both groups, 51% in group A and 49% in group B, were aged 30-40 years, with no significant difference in mean age (35.36±5.50 vs 34.50±5.50, p>0.05). Overall, 62.5% of patients reported primary sub-fertility. Levo-carnitine administration leads to significant improvements in sperm motility (15±2.68 vs. 36.58±5.16, p<0.05). In the case of placebo treatment, there were no significant improvements in sperm motility (13.91±5.53 vs. 16.36±1.19, p>0.05). We found that the comparison of TMC of both groups reflected statistically significant differences (p<0.05) before treatment and after treatment with levo-carnitine and placebo (6.40±2.87 vs 22.91±14.88) 5.64±3.96 vs 7.71±4.91).
Conclusions: Levo-carnitine treatment can lead to significant improvements in semen parameters, particularly in motility.
A successful conservative management of cervical ectopic pregnancy
Authors: Ramanathan Ramayee , Rajan Niranjana 
Published: May 2024

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare life-threatening condition with an incidence of less than 1% among all ectopic pregnancies. A 27-year-old primigravida presented with spotting per vaginum following 4 weeks 5 days of amenorrhea. Transvaginal ultrasound done at 4 weeks 5 days showed a gestational sac located in the anterior wall of cervix, diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy was made. Initial serum beta hCG titre was 4106 mIU/ml. Serial monitoring of serum beta hCG done showed increasing values. Hence, decided for medical management with single dose of injection methotrexate, as the diagnosis was made at an early gestation and patient was hemodynamically stable. On follow up, serum beta hCG did not fall significantly, hence multidose methotrexate regimen was initiated. She responded to it, but she continued to have persistent bleeding per vaginum with fall in hemoglobin levels, hence sorted for surgical management which included suction and evacuation, after ligation of descending cervical artery and subsequently cervical tamponade. Intraoperative period was uneventful. On follow-up, patient was asymptomatic and vitals stable. Serum beta hCG done 2 weeks post procedure was below 5 mIU/ml and resumed spontaneous cycles after a month. Thus, early detection and accurate diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy using ultrasound and serial beta hCG titre monitoring becomes a cornerstone of management. We present this case as it was her index pregnancy, with a need to preserve future fertility, successful conservative management of Cervical ectopic pregnancy with combination of medical and surgical intervention.
Empowering patients: integrating palliative care in gynecologic cancer treatment
Authors: Gupta Sumedha , Kalwaniya Dheer Singh 
Published: May 2024

Cervical cancer severely impacts women's health, especially in low- and middle-income nations. Patients experience significant symptoms at every stage of this cancer course, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. Palliative care (PC) integration becomes crucial, even if oncological therapies have historically focused on disease-centric methods. PC is a multifaceted field that addresses end-of-life care as well as psychological, social, and spiritual issues in addition to physical illnesses. To improve patient satisfaction, treatment adherence, and overall quality of life, early PC initiation within the context of multimodality care is essential. Advanced patients require heightened PC and a smooth transfer to hospice care as they approach terminal disease. This emphasises how crucial it is for oncology and PC teams to work together to provide comprehensive cervical cancer management. Healthcare practitioners can improve results and maintain the overall health of women affected by this condition through combined efforts. This review article emphasises the importance of early PC integration and collaboration in the cervical cancer management continuum to offer comprehensive care and enhance patient outcomes.
An overview on urinary tract infection in pregnancy
Authors: Madane Tanvi S. , Kulkarni Prerana P. , Memane Gaurav S. 
Published: May 2024

Urinary tract infections (UTI) include a wide range of symptoms, such as urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis. The most frequent bacterial infections are UTIs. Lower and upper UTI’s are used to categories UTI’s. While pyelonephritis is an upper tract infection, cystitis is a lower tract infection. Significant physiologic changes to the entire urinary system occur during pregnancy and drastically influence the prevalence of UTI’s and pyelonephritis. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic forms are possible. Gram-negative bacteria are the most frequent causes of both symptomatic and acute UTI, including E. coli, K. pneumonia, P. areuginosa, Enterobacter, and Serratia. The gold standard for the diagnosis of a urinary tract infection is quantitative culture methods. Untreated UTIs have been linked to severe morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and their babies. According to Edward Kass's groundbreaking research, 6% of pregnant women reported asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), which was linked to higher preterm and perinatal death than those with sterile urine. According to the urine culture and sensitivity results, correct treatment is therefore of utmost importance. An agent with a seven-day dosage schedule that is safe for both the mother and the fetus should be used as the therapy. To prevent a recurrence of UTI, confirmation of the pathogenic organism's full eradication is required. Precautions and good cleanliness can also aid in preventing recurrence.
