Authors: Manić Dijana , Dejan Milojević  , Vladana Nikolić  , Maja Slavković Jovanović  , Živanović Snežana 
Published: March 2024

Uvod: Prisustvo stranog tela u disajnim putevima je životno ugrožavajuće stanje koje se javlja sa incidencom od 64% kod dece izmedju 1. i 3. godine života.
Prikaz slučaja: Dečak uzrasta 2 godine, hospitalizovan je zbog kašlja, naglo nastalog otoka vrata, otežanog disanja i uznemirenosti. Mesec dana pre aktuelne hospitalizacije, dete je lečeno zbog akutne respiratorne infekcije gornjih disajnih puteva. Dete tokom pregleda agitirano, kašlje uporno, nadražajno, povremeno promuklo. Evidentan otok na vratu i gornjim partijama grudnog koša, levo više izražen uz palpatorno prisutne fine krepitacije. Na prijemu auskultacijski nalaz nad plućima u vidu diskretne asimetrije u disajnom zvuku, desno slabije čujno disanje uz monofoni visokotonski vizing bazalno. Na radiografiji grudnog koša uočena hiperinflacija desno uz parakardijalnu konsolidaciju desno i subkutani emfizem na vratu i grudnom košu. Laboratorijske analize u referentnim granicama. Zbog sumnje na aspiraciju stranog tela načinjena je bronhoskopija, uočeno je strano telo na ušću bronha za srednji i donji režanj desno i izvršena ekstrakcija istog. Nakon uspešnog uklanjanja aspiriranog sadržaja, dete je klinički stabilno otpušteno iz jedinice intenzivne nege.
Zaključak: Klinički nalaz aspiracije stranog tela zavisi od nivoa na kojoj se opstrukcija disajnog puta dogodila. Najveći broj pacijenata ispoljava paroksizmalni kašalj, dok respirtorni distres i cijanoza ukazuju na opstrukciju većeg disajnog puta kada je neophodna hitna intervencija. Ponekada prolongiran nalaz na plućima uz kliničke simptome ukazuje na previd aspiracije stranog tela kada se mogu očekivati komplikacije.

<p>This work aimed to investigate the causal relationship between money and inflation (proxy by CPI) in the Philippines using Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Analysis and the Granger Causality Test. The results showed that both series are stationary in levels; hence, VAR in levels was utilized. The results of VAR(2) show a link between the two variables. The current inflation rate in the Philippines is affected by a one-year lag in money supply. The Granger causality test revealed the unidirectional connection between inflation and money. Furthermore, past levels of price stability can be used to forecast monetary stability in the Philippines. Technically, CPI Granger causes M2.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: E31, E52, C32, C53, C58</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURE AND MATERNAL MORTALITY IN NIGERIA
Authors: Chioma Chidinma George-Anokwuru 
Published: March 2024

This study examined the effect of public health expenditure on maternal mortality in Nigeria from 2002 to 2021. To achieve this objective, the study utilized data on maternal death, total government expenditure on health, and migration of doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria - doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria but working in other countries from OECD Health Statistics, 2021, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank Group, the United Nations Population Division, and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The study employed an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds testing technique for data analyses. The result revealed that in the long run, total government expenditure on health has a negative and significant relationship with maternal mortality in Nigeria. Meanwhile, the migration of doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria - doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria but working in other countries have a positive and significant relationship with maternal mortality in Nigeria. In the short run, total government expenditure on health has a positive and significant relationship with maternal mortality in Nigeria. At the same time, the migration of doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria - doctors and nurses trained in Nigeria but working in other countries has a negative and significant relationship with maternal mortality in Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended here that the government should step up investment in all components of health infrastructure to cope with the explosive population growth requiring medical services in Nigeria. Put differently, a crucial effort should be made by the government to channel more funds to the health sector in order to improve health standards, reduce the mortality rate and hence the life expectancy of the citizens since a healthy population and workforce is a major ingredient for rapid and sustainable productivity and growth.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0004/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2024

High-quality education is considered as a crucial issue for every organised society since it prepares the next-to-come generation of active citizens. The assessment of the quality of education comprises the research object for a large number of researchers and members of the educational community, since through it the content and results of the assessment itself are examined. A structural feature of quality in education is the curriculum, inside which the very purpose of Kindergarten is reflected, which is no other than the wholesome development of toddlers. The objective of the present study was to investigate the views of general and special education teachers concerning the assessment of content as well as the operation of the curriculum proposed for the educational rank of Kindergarten. The study was conducted during the 2022-23 academic year, with the participation of 1204 educationalists (N: 864 general education Kindergarten teachers, N: 337 special education Kindergarten teachers) from all over Greece. The results of the research showed that the assessment of the pupils’ advancement relates to the type of education, whether, that is, the educationalists are employed within general education facilities or in special education ones, as well as to the number of pupils who attend each class. More on this, it surfaced that the dimension “Learning domains”, in which the content of the curriculum is being described, is affected by the number of pupils in each contextual class.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
What Does a Quality Education Look Like in Rural Schools?
Authors: Guenther John , Fuqua Melyssa 
Published: March 2024

This issue of the Australian and International Journal of Rural Education features articles that describe and critically analyse rural education, the common thread being 'What Does a Quality Education Look Like in Rural Schools?'. The education settings discussed include Australia, Czechia, Iraq, South Africa, Sweden, Tanzania, and the United States. The studies presented reflect the huge diversity of rural schooling and the many factors that work to support quality education. What does quality rural education look like? It looks like teachers who have a strong connection to place, with strategies for teaching that connect with students from the place. It looks like teachers who are flexible and open to learning. It looks like a supportive system. It looks attractive to parents. It looks like contextualised learning. It looks like parents and communities engaged in their children's learning at school. It is potentially transformative. It looks like a workforce that has good access to professional learning options. It looks like good governance, with local Elders and community leaders involved and driving a vision for education. It looks like strong peer relationships, and a culturally safe learning environment. It does not necessarily look like the narrowly defined metrics that are often used to define success or the deficits that are too often described in association with rural education.

A REVIEW ON CURRENT ASPECTS OF NUTRACEUTICALS AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Authors: Vishvakarma Prabhakar , Mandal Suraj , Verma Ashish 
Published: March 2024

Using food products to promote health and cure disease is renowned. Currently, most of the drug molecules available in the formulations were anciently used in their crude form. Dr Stephen De Felice first coins the term Nutraceutics in 1989 to provide medical or health benefits including the prevention and treatment of diseases. Although the term "nutraceutical" is now recognized internationally as a linguistic combination of “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical”, and is accepted as “Any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.” The greatest challenge will remain in the public policy and regulatory arenas, which will encourage research and development of products providing health benefits and permit truthful, nonmisleading communications of these products while protecting public health and maintaining public confidence. Nutraceuticals have received considerable interest because of their presumed safety and potential nutritional and therapeutic effects”. Pharmaceutical and nutritional companies are aware of the monetary success taking advantage of the more health-seeking consumers and the changing trends resulting in a proliferation of these value-added products aimed at heart health to cancer. Some popular nutraceuticals include glucosamine, ginseng, echinacea, folic acid, cod liver oil, omega-3 eggs, calcium-enriched orange juice, green tea etc. Majority of the nutraceuticals are claimed to possess multiple therapeutic benefits though substantial evidence is lacking for the benefits as well as unwanted effects. The present review has been devoted towards better understanding of the nutraceuticals based on their disease specific indications.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of plyometric and isometric training protocol on power in 46 team sports (basketball: <i>n</i> = 23; volleyball: <i>n</i> = 23) players, also in relation to genetic background (i.e., ACE and PPARA genes polymorphisms).MethodsThe following tests were administered: squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ), sprint, handgrip, and agility test. Genetic analysis was based on saliva samples.ResultsThe training protocol proved to be effective in improving jump performance in basketball players and volleyball players, respectively: 25-meter sprint test (<i>p</i> = 0.006; <i>p</i> = 0.008); agility test (<i>p</i> = 0.000; <i>p</i> = 0.000); SJ test (<i>p</i> = 0.001; <i>p</i> = 0.000); CMJ test (<i>p</i> = 0.005; <i>p</i> = 0.000); and DJ test (<i>p</i> = 0.03 only for basketball players; DJ test improvement in volleyball players was not significant), regardless of sports practice. Furthermore, data confirm that the ‘D’ allele of ACE and the ‘C’ allele of PPARA are positive alleles associated to power and strength performances.ConclusionsThe importance to train strength skills should be emphasized, above all through isometric and plyometric exercises, not neglecting the key role played by the genetic background.

Authors: Temidayo Olorunsogo  , Boma Sonimiteim Jacks  , Olakunle Abayomi Ajala  
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a novel conceptual framework that integrates the advanced capabilities of quantum computing to address the urgent need for responsible and inclusive Artificial Intelligence (AI) development. It reviews current challenges in AI, such as bias, lack of inclusivity, and the computational limitations faced by classical computing methods in solving complex societal problems. By harnessing quantum computing, this framework aims to overcome these barriers, enabling faster, more efficient AI solutions that are ethically grounded and universally accessible. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates technical innovation with ethical considerations and stakeholder engagement, we believe that quantum computing can serve as a catalyst for the development of AI technologies that are not only more advanced but also more inclusive, responsible, and beneficial for society as a whole. This concept paper serves as a foundational framework for further research, collaboration, and action in the intersection of quantum computing and AI, with the ultimate goal of harnessing the transformative potential of these technologies to address pressing societal challenges and promote human well-being.

Effects of high-quality elevation data and explanatory variables on the accuracy of flood inundation mapping via Height Above Nearest Drainage
Authors: Aristizabal Fernando , Chegini Taher , Petrochenkov Gregory , Salas Fernando , Judge Jasmeet 
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Given the availability of high-quality and high-spatial-resolution digital elevation maps (DEMs) from the United States Geological Survey's 3D Elevation Program (3DEP), derived mostly from light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors, we examined the effects of these DEMs at various spatial resolutions on the quality of flood inundation map (FIM) extents derived from a terrain index known as Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND). We found that using these DEMs improved the quality of resulting FIM extents at around 80 % of the catchments analyzed when compared to using DEMs from the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution (NHDPlusHR) program. Additionally, we varied the spatial resolution of the 3DEP DEMs at 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 m (meters), and the results showed no significant overall effect on FIM extent quality across resolutions. However, further analysis at coarser resolutions of 60 and 90 m revealed a significant degradation in FIM skill, highlighting the limitations of using extremely coarse-resolution DEMs. Our experiments demonstrated a significant burden in terms of the computational time required to produce HAND and related data at finer resolutions. We fit a multiple linear regression model to help explain catchment-scale variations in the four metrics employed and found that the lack of reservoir flooding or inundation upstream of river retention systems was a significant factor in our analysis. For validation, we used Interagency Flood Risk Management (InFRM) Base Level Engineering (BLE)-produced FIM extents and streamflows at the 100- and 500-year event magnitudes in a sub-region in eastern Texas.
Extreme melting at Greenland's largest floating ice tongue

Published: March 2024

Abstract. The 79° North Glacier (Nioghalvfjerdsbrae, 79NG) is one of three remaining glaciers with a floating tongue in Greenland. Although the glacier has been considered exceptionally stable in the past, earlier studies have shown that the ice tongue has thinned in recent decades. By conducting high-resolution ground-based and airborne radar measurements in conjunction with satellite remote-sensing observations, we find significant changes in the geometry of 79NG. In the vicinity of the grounding line, a 500 m high subglacial channel has grown since ∼ 2010 and has caused surface lowering of up to 7.6 m a−1. Our results show extreme basal melt rates exceeding 150 m a−1 over a period of 17 d within a distance of 5 km from the grounding line, where the ice has thinned by 32 % since 1998. We find a heterogeneous distribution of melt rates, likely due to variability in water column thickness and channelization of the ice base. Time series of melt rates show a decrease in basal melting since 2018, indicating an inflow of colder water into the cavity below 79NG. We discuss the processes that have led to the changes in geometry and conclude that the inflow of warm ocean currents has led to the extensive thinning of 79NG's floating ice tongue near the grounding line over the last 2 decades. In contrast, we hypothesize that the growth of the channel results from increased subglacial discharge due to a considerably enlarged area of summer surface melt due to the warming of the atmosphere.

Published: March 2024

The Museum of Innocence (2009) delves into love and everyday objects of love to explain the country's cultural emissions and political issues due to cultural contradiction with few characters in the novel. The novel is planned as a love story but is written in a decidedly unorthodox narrative style. The narrative is focused on the lovers' connection and revolves around Kemal's alterations due to his love for Fusun. He brings the supernatural close to the material, combining them most unexpectedly. Pamuk's construction of the actual museum in the memory of Fusun was discussed. Pamuk spoke about the memories of Fusun in Kemal's story narration with the portrayal of cultural indifference in Turkey. Further, this paper brings out the clash between fundamental traditional Islam and modern secularism by portraying the westernisation lifestyle of Istanbul's bourgeois society. The research paper concentrated on women's status and depicted the concept of virginity.
