This study aimed to analyze the impact of trade liberalization between ASEAN and China on ASEAN and China export using the gravity models approach. The liberalization of trade openness is measured by the ratio of the total exports of ASEAN countries and China. The data used are annual panel data consisting of the ten ASEAN member countries and US states from 2010 to 2021. The difference with previous research is the object of research which analyzes specifically related to the free trade agreement carried out between ASEAN member countries and China which is analyzed using the Gravity model. The results of the estimation ASEAN models is the variable openness ASEAN countries against the China positive influence on ASEAN exports. China openness toward ASEAN variables did not significantly affect ASEAN exports. Results of the estimation China model shows the openness variable ASEAN against US no effect on China exports. Variable China openness toward ASEAN positive effect on China exports. Of the two models of the estimated proved that trade liberalization ASEAN - China influence on ASEAN exports and China exports. The implication of the study in free trade agreement that ASEAN countries is more focused on the sector of agriculture product, food, textile and some extractive industries.

Published: April 2024

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are business sectors that contribute positively to economic development and their contribution to national income. However, as the number of MSMEs increases but MSME faces several problems. The most prominent issue is the lack of capital owned by the entrepreneurs to develop their businesses. In lending, there are several things that need to be considered by creditors and debtors to maintain the intermediary function of the bank. By providing targeted credit, more workers can be absorbed so that Indonesia's unemployment rate continues to fall. This study using panel data regression. First model using the random effect model (REM) method and second model using the fixed effect model (FEM) method with a cross-section of 33 provinces in Indonesia and time series 2015-2022. The test results show that the DPK variable, the number of branches, and inflation have a positive and significant effect on total MSME lending and the NPL variable has no effect on total MSME credit. Furthermore, the total MSME lending variable and the economic growth rate have a negative significant effect on the unemployment rate. This research provides a deeper understanding of the factors that determine MSME lending and how they relate to the unemployment rate in 33 Indonesian provinces. It can also be used as a basis for formulating more effective policies related to MSME lending with the potential to reduce the unemployment rate.

Introduction
Undernutrition poses a significant global public health challenge, adversely affecting childhood cognitive and physical development while increasing the risk of disease and mortality. Stunting, characterized by impaired growth and development in children due to insufficient psychological stimulation, frequent infections, and inadequate nutrition, remains a critical issue. Although economic growth alone cannot fully address the prevalence of stunting, there exists a robust correlation between a country’s income level and childhood stunting rates. Countries with higher incomes tend to have lower rates of childhood stunting. Notably, while childhood stunting is declining worldwide, it remains persistent in Africa. Consequently, this study aims to assess the prevalence of childhood stunting and its determinants in low- and lower-middle-income African countries

Method
This study conducted a secondary analysis of standard demographic and health surveys in low- and lower-middle-income African countries spanning the period from 2010 to 2022. The analysis included a total sample of 204,214 weighted children under the age of five years. To identify the determinants of stunting, we employed a multilevel mixed-effect model, considering the three levels of variables. The measures of association (fixed effect) were determined using the adjusted odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval. Significance was declared when the association between the outcome variable and the explanatory variable had a p-value less than 0.05.

Result
In low and lower-middle-income African countries, 31.28% of children under five years old experience stunting, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 31.08% to 31.48%. The results from a multilevel mixed-effect analysis revealed that 24 months or more of age of child, male gender, low and high birth weight, low and high maternal BMI, no and low maternal education, low household wealth index, multiple (twin or triplet) births, rural residence, and low income of countries were significantly associated with childhood stunting.

Conclusion
Stunting among children under five years of age in low- and lower-middle-income African countries was relatively high. Individual, community, and country-level factors were statistically associated with childhood stunting. Equally importantly, with child, maternal, and community factors of stunting, the income of countries needs to be considered in providing nutritional interventions to mitigate childhood stunting in Africa.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency distribution of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, and the form of tamoxifen metabolisation in premenopausal patients with breast cancer in the Han and Uygur ethnic groups of Xinjiang to guide rational clinical drug use. A total of 125 Han patients and 121 Uygur patients with premenopausal hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer treated at the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Cancer Hospital between 1 June 2011 and 1 December 2013 were selected. The common mutation sites in CYP450 were analysed using TaqMan® minor groove binder technology. Genetic testing was performed to determine other metabolic types of tamoxifen, and the genotypes and metabolic types were compared using a Chi-squared test. Between the Han and Uygur groups, there were significant differences in the frequencies of the CYP2D6 (*10/*10) and CYP2C19 (*1/*1) genotypes, with P-values of 0.002 and 0.015, respectively. Genotypes of CYP2D6 (*1/*1), CYP2D6 (*1/*5), CYP2D6 (*5/*5), CYP2D6 (*5/*10) and CYP2C19 (*3/*3) were expressed in the two patient groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). In the Han patients, the proportions of extensive, intermediate and poor metabolisers of tamoxifen were 72, 24 and 4%, respectively, whereas those in the Uygur patients were 76.9, 17.4 and 5.7%, respectively, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). In conclusion, There were partial differences in the CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms of CYP450 between the Han and Uygur patients with premenopausal breast cancer, but there was no significant difference between the CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 phenotypes. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between the enzyme genetic differences of CYP450 and the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of tamoxifen. Although there were some differences in genotypes, these did not result in differences in the predicted tamoxifen metabolisation phenotype between the Han and Uygur patients with breast cancer. Therefore, the doses should be adjusted according to the individual genotype data.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objectives
To survey the World Wide Web for critical limits/critical values, assess changes in quantitative low/high thresholds since 1990–93, streamline urgent notification practices, and promote global accessibility.

Methods
We identified Web-posted lists of critical limits/values at university hospitals. We compared 2023 to 1990–93 archived notification thresholds.

Results
We found critical notification lists for 26 university hospitals. Laboratory disciplines ranged widely (1–10). The median number of tests was 62 (range 21–116); several posted policies. The breadth of listings increased. Statistically significant differences in 2023 vs. 1990 critical limits were observed for blood gas (pO2, pCO2), chemistry (glucose, calcium, magnesium), and hematology (hemoglobin, platelets, PTT, WBC) tests, and for newborn glucose, potassium, pO2, and hematocrit. Twenty hospitals listed ionized calcium critical limits, which have not changed. Fourteen listed troponin (6), troponin I (3), hs-TnI (3), or troponin T (2). Qualitative critical values expanded across disciplines, encompassing anatomic/surgical pathology. Bioterrorism agents were listed frequently, as were contagious pathogens, although only three hospitals listed COVID-19. Only one notification list detailed point-of-care tests. Two children’s hospital lists were Web-accessible.

Conclusions
Urgent notifications should focus on life-threatening conditions. We recommend that hospital staff evaluate changes over the past three decades for clinical impact. Notification lists expanded, especially qualitative tests, suggesting that automation might improve efficiency. Sharing notification lists and policies on the Web will improve accessibility. If not dependent on the limited scope of secondary sources, artificial intelligence could enhance knowledge of urgent notification and critical care practices in the 21st Century.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PPH) in children is a parathyroid adenoma. Among this population, PPH exhibits higher levels of morbidity, severity and target organ involvement compared to adults. When there is suspicion of PPH, cervical ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT are the imaging test traditionally indicated. Among adults, the use of [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT has shown a higher sensitivity than ultrasound and [99mTc]sestamibi SPECT/CT, leading to an expanding adoption in recent years. However, its role in paediatrics has not been clearly defined yet.

Case presentation
The patient is an adolescent female aged 13 years presented with lithiasis. The analytical study revealed elevated PTH, hipovitaminosis D, hypercalcaemia and hypophosphataemia. Due to the suspicion of PPH, cervical ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/C were performed, failing to identify hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. We proceeded to carry out a [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT where a hypermetabolic nodular image was identified, compatible with a hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenoma. The patient underwent surgery, resulting in the normalisation of PTH levels. Pathological anatomy confirmed the presence of a parathyroid adenoma.

Conclusions
In cases where conventional imaging tests yield negative results or discrepancies, we suggest the possibility of the use of [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT for the detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenomas.

Study on the photodegradation behaviors of liquid crystal display (LCD) used optical cellulose triacetate films
Authors: Fan Xiushan , Wu Jin 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this study, ramie fiber was employed to prepare cellulose triacetate (CTA) films. Subsequently, the photodegradation behaviors without photosensitizers of CTA films were carried out in photodegradation chambers at 40 °C. Additionally, the photodegradation procedure of films was assessed by the attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal properties, degree of substitution (DS), and tensile strength. The research consequences indicated that the mechanical strength of the CTA films was decreased significantly after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for 300 h. However, the DS of the films is almost invariable when they are exposed to UV irradiation. Meanwhile, the suggested mechanism for photodegradation of CTA was also exhibited in this paper. This study provides a mild and potential pre-treatment approach for the biodegradation of LCD used waste CTA films.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Conductive polymer-based adsorbents have showed excellent heavy metal ion removing capabilities. Crosslinking modification is one of the feasible methods to further improve their properties. To make use of the advantages of monomer precursor method over the polymer precursor method in forming dense interpenetrating networks, and then optimizing the surface structure of materials and providing more adsorption sites, the mesoporous cross-linked poly-o-phenylenediamine (M-CR-PoPD) prepared by using the former one and used in removing Cu2+ from aqueous solution. The FTIR results showed that the monomer was successfully crosslinked and polymerized. The loosely packed target product with a hierarchical pore structure distribution was successfully formed. The maximum adsorption capacity of 105.18 mg g−1 was obtained at 25 °C after 3 h of adsorption when M-CR-PoPD prepared at the reaction time of 6 h using anhydrous ethanol as solvent and trimethylolpropane-tris(3-aziridinyl) propionate as crosslinking agent. This value reached the optimum Cu2+ removal capability of reported PoPD-based adsorbents. According to EDX, FTIR, and XPS data before and after adsorption, the possible adsorption mechanism based on the cation-π interaction and the formation of Cu–N bonds was proposed. These results could help develop more effective conductive polymer-based adsorbents to remove Cu2+ from wastewater.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackground and aimsNomophobia (NMP) is a contemporary digital ailment referring to the improper utilization of smartphones which can have significant impacts on the physical and mental health of college students. However, as a result of unclear cutoff points, the proportion of people with NMP may be exaggerated. This study therefore aimed to determine the critical value of NMP and assess the extent to which Chinese college students are impacted by NMP using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q).MethodsLatent profile analysis (LPA) and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were combined to determine the critical value based on NMP-Q scores using a large sample of 3,998 college students (Mage = 20.58; SD = 1.87).ResultsBased on latent profile (i.e., at-risk NMP group), ROC revealed an optimal cut-off point of 73 (Sensitivity = 0.965, Specificity = 0.970, Accuracy = 0.968, AUC = 99.60%, Youden's index = 0.935), and the percentage of NMP students being 28.04%, with 1,121 participants identified as positive cases (probable cases). Positive cases were found to exhibit more severe depression and anxiety symptoms, with a higher proportion of females were observed in the positive group (N = 829; 73.95%).ConclusionsThese findings provide evidence that the proportion of NMP individuals may have been overestimated in the past. Furthermore, this study helps to validate the NMP-Q as a valid tool to identify NMP in college-aged individuals.

Published: April 2024

En este artículo se sitúa al cuerpo y la afectividad en el arte dentro de la educación, desde la danza y las artes visuales. El carácter mixto del estudio fue vital para conseguir una visión de los aprendientes de las artes, rescatada desde el ámbito cuantitativo, y un enfoque de expertos en el ámbito cualitativo. Primeramente, se buscó establecer un diagnóstico a través de un cuestionario dirigido a estudiantes de danza y artes visuales, que entregara un panorámico de sus posiciones en torno al cuerpo, su afectividad y relación con otros en su quehacer artístico. Luego, los resultados fueron contrastados con los aportes entregados por expertos de ambas áreas, quienes por medio de entrevistas, presentaron sus puntos de vista sobre estos tópicos, así como lineamientos propositivos para establecer un abordaje afectivo del trabajo artístico corporal.
Con base en lo anterior, los resultados fueron estructurados en tres dimensiones interconectadas. El primer eje lo constituye el sujeto en sí mismo, en el que se aborda el cuerpo como ser social, la relevancia de la conciencia corporal en el quehacer artístico y la interdisciplina como recurso para comprender mejor la corporalidad.
La segunda dimensión sostuvo sus hallazgos alrededor del sujeto y su entorno sociopolítico. Se trató la trascendencia de la noción estética del cuerpo como propiciadora de la apreciación estética del sujeto e incremento de la autoestima, el cuerpo como lugar donde se ejercen todos los poderes y se comprenden las diferencias corporales desde la inclusión y aceptación de lo que se escapa del canon establecido.
La tercera dimensión, del sujeto y su quehacer educativo, arrojó resultados que destacaron el valor de la experiencia para el aprendizaje y el rol de los docentes en la entrega efectiva de contenidos relativos a conciencia corporal, autopercepción, relación con los pares y apreciación estética.
