The role of Christian faith in the reintegration of female prisoners
Authors: Di Blasio Barbara 
Published: April 2024

Aim: This study delves into the correlation between religious faith and the process of reintegration among women in incarceration. In Hungary, this subject is relatively understudied; however, international insights underscore the prominent role of religious convictions in shaping an individual’s predisposition towards criminality and their influence on prosocial conduct. Yet, the extent and contentious nature of its role in reintegration persist due to a lack of emphasis by societal institutions associated with detainees, disregarding the intricate sociological prospects embedded within religion and faith. These prospects, meticulously scrutinised by sociologists, encompass the maintenance and fortification of social order, the regulation of human activities, and more. An additional challenge arises post-release, where organisations and religious institutions involved in the spiritual rehabilitation of detainees lose contact with these individuals, impeding subsequent investigative efforts.Methodology: The data for our pilot study were gathered among residents of Kalocsa Prison in 2024. Employing the Shortened Aspiration Index, augmented by interviews, our research methodology sought to enrich descriptive statistical analyses through the nuanced exploration of interview content. Sample selection followed a randomised and voluntary basis (N: 46 individuals). Importantly, the outcomes derived from our study are not intended for generalisation but rather apply specifically to our sampled cohort.Findings: Our discernments indicate that, for the female detainees under scrutiny, faith and religious practices wield a positive influence on delineating life objectives. They also play a pivotal role in sustaining mental equilibrium, with noteworthy psychoeducational ramifications. During catechesis, knowledge enrichment extends beyond cultural dimensions to encompass moral teachings, fostering an understanding of the ethical values and frameworks essential for normative living.Value: Determining the criteria for the success of post-release reintegration proves elusive, given the nuanced and idiosyncratic nature of success for everyone. Factors influencing an individual’s psychological dynamics and behavioural patterns intricately interweave within a complex socioeconomic system. Thus, it is reasonable to assert that the precepts of Christian teachings, faith, and the spiritual and organisational scaffolding of religious practices can form integral components of a supportive framework. Acknowledging the reinforcing role of Christian faith, particularly among women, aligns with the 2022 census data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), which underscores a prevailing proclivity towards religiosity among women in contemporary Hungary.

Abstract
We conducted a photometric and kinematic analysis of the young open cluster NGC 2345 using CCD UBV data from 2 m Himalayan Chandra Telescope, Gaia Data Release 3, Two Micron All-Sky Survey, and the Photometric All-Sky Survey data sets. We found 1732 most probable cluster members with membership probability higher than 70%. The fundamental and structural parameters of the cluster are determined based on the cluster members. The mean proper motion of the cluster is estimated to be

δ
= 1.35 ± 0.21 mas yr−1. Based on the radial density profile, the estimated radius is ∼12.′8 (10.37 pc). Using color–color and color–magnitude diagrams, we estimate the reddening, age, and distance to be 0.63 ± 0.04 mag, 63 ± 8 Myr, and 2.78 ± 0.78 kpc, respectively. The mass function slope for main-sequence stars is determined as 1.2 ± 0.1. The mass function slope in the core, halo, and overall region indicates a possible hint of mass segregation. The cluster’s dynamical relaxation time is 177.6 Myr, meaning ongoing mass segregation, with complete equilibrium expected in 100–110 Myr. Apex coordinates are determined as −40.°89 ± 0.12, − 44.°99 ± 0.15. The cluster’s orbit in the Galaxy suggests early dissociation into field stars due to its close proximity to the Galactic disk.
Evolution of Coronal Jets during Solar Cycle 24
Authors: Soós Sz. , Liu 刘 J. 佳佳 , Korsós M. B. , Erdélyi R. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The focus of this study is on the spatial and temporal distributions of 2704 solar jets throughout Solar Cycle 24, from beginning to end. This work is a follow-up paper by Liu et al. With this extended data set, we have further confirmed the two distinct distributions of coronal jets: one located in polar regions and another at lower latitudes. Further analysis of the series of coronal jets revealed kink oscillations of the global solar magnetic field. Additionally, studying the northern and southern hemispheres separately showed an antiphase correlation that can be interpreted as a global sausage oscillatory pattern of the loci of the coronal jets. We also investigated how the variability of the solar cycle may impact the power law index of coronal jets by dividing the data set into the rising and declining phases of Solar Cycle 24. However, there is no compelling evidence to suggest that the power law index changes after the maximum. It is worth noting that based on this vast database of solar jets, the degradation of the 304 Å channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory can also be identified and confirmed. Finally, we searched for compelling signatures of the presence of active longitude in the coronal jet database. There was no obvious evidence with a high probability of an active longitude; therefore, this question remains yet to be addressed further.
Bonnes ou mauvaises matrones ? L’ ethos des matrones romaines à l’épreuve de la mobilisation de leurs réseaux ( ii e - v e siècle de n. è.)
Authors: Salamor Lucie 
Published: April 2024

Dans les récits historiques, les matrones de la famille des Antonins qui mobilisent leurs réseaux de connaissance pour participer aux activités de la cité sont décrites comme de mauvaises matrones. Pourtant, aux iv e et v e siècles, l’intégration des matrones à des réseaux semble confirmer et accroître leur ethos de bonne chrétienne d’après Jérôme. Cet article cherche donc à analyser le rapport entre l’incarnation par les matrones de leur ethos et leur intégration dans des réseaux. Après avoir défini les contours de l’ethos de la matrone entre le ii e et le v e siècle, nous essaierons de comprendre si la mobilisation des réseaux personnels bouleverse l’image des matrones ou si la description conforme ou défaillante de ces matrones au regard de leur ethos répond plutôt à des stratégies discursives.
Individuals and their Environments in Georges Canguilhem’s Philosophy of Medicine
Authors: Chimisso Cristina 
Published: April 2024

Georges Canguilhem s’est opposé à la médecine positiviste qui cherche à établir la normalité une fois pour toutes. Il a en revanche mis au centre de la médecine les individus, avec leurs variations et leurs subjectivités. D’un côté, il s’est concentré sur l’individu dans sa globalité, par opposition à ses organes et tissus ; d’un autre côté, il a soutenu qu’un individu n’est normal que par rapport à un milieu donné. Dans cet article, je soutiens que la conception de Canguilhem du normal comme relatif à un individu et à son milieu est toujours d’une grande actualité. En même temps, je soutiens qu’il a négligé de développer certaines questions soulevées par sa propre philosophie. Notamment, il n’a pas pleinement analysé comment les individus en viennent à juger de leur propre normalité ni les conséquences sociales de leurs jugements. De même, il n’a pas considéré que tous les individus et groupes n’ont pas le même pouvoir de façonner leur milieu et le milieu des autres. L’approche holistique de Canguilhem à l’égard des êtres humains et de leur milieu fait que la question des jugements des individus sur leur propre normalité est plus complexe qu’il ne l’a reconnu.

Published: April 2024

Background:
This study investigated the impact of applying the anchored teaching mode with nursing interns on the cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU).

Method:
A total of 110 interns were divided into a control group (taught through traditional methods) and an experimental group (taught using the anchored teaching mode). The anchored mode, emphasizing student-centered learning, included creating scenarios, identifying problems, using self-directed and collaborative learning, and evaluating outcomes.

Results:
Our study found that the experimental group showed significantly higher scores in emergency response ability, nursing skills, and teaching effectiveness compared with the control group at graduation.

Conclusion:

The findings suggest that implementing the anchored teaching mode can effectively enhance the education of nursing interns on the CSICU, emphasizing the need for further research across different departments and types of hospitals.

Nurses' Perceptions of Telemonitoring Devices to Reduce Falls Among Hospitalized Patients: A Literature Review
Authors: McNamara Britt 
Published: April 2024

Purpose:
Technological advances have led to the adoption of telemonitoring devices for fall prevention. Multiple previous studies looked at the effectiveness of these devices. However, few studies looked at nursing staff perceptions of the technology. The current integrated literature review examined factors that influence nurses' and nursing staff's acceptance of telemonitoring technology for fall prevention.

Method:
Three databases (CINAHL, Embase, and PubMed) were searched from January 2010 through September 2023. Study themes were analyzed, and study quality was appraised. Thirteen articles were identified and analyzed.

Results:
Nurses' perceptions included positive, negative, and mixed views of tele-monitoring technology. Key factors influencing staff perceptions of telemonitoring technology include the effectiveness of the technology at improving patient safety, its ease of use, and the degree to which staff felt supported by nursing leadership and hospital administration.

Conclusion:

Findings demonstrate the importance of involving nurses in decisions regarding implementation of new technology. [

Dictionnaire Ḥassāniyya-Français (arabe de Mauritanie)
Authors: Taine-Cheikh Catherine 
Published: April 2024

Ce nouveau volume, longtemps attendu, fait suite aux huit premiers volumes du Dictionnaire Hassaniyya-Français – Dialecte arabe de Mauritanie publiés chez Geuthner entre 1988 et 1998. L'autrice a commencé à travailler à ce dictionnaire de hassaniyya en 1974, avec comme point de départ le Lexique Français-Maure, manuscrit inédit d'Albert Leriche (décédé en 1957). L'ensemble des sources écrites disponibles a été intégré de manière critique et complété par des enquêtes orales. La perspective comparative et étymologique, qui est l'une des caractéristiques de ce dictionnaire, a bénéficié, pour ce volume, des recherches que l'autrice mène par ailleurs, depuis 1997, sur le zénaga de Mauritanie, une langue berbère en voie de disparition avec laquelle le hassaniyya a été en contact étroit pendant des siècles.
Hay Baykar (« Lutte arménienne »),périodique protestataire arménien dans le sillage de Mai 68
Authors: Toulajian Sophie-Zoé 
Published: April 2024

Consacré à l’étude d’un périodique arménien d’extrême gauche (Hay Baykar ou « lutte arménienne »), en France à la fin des années 1970, cet article croise l’histoire sociale de la diaspora arménienne, à travers la question des circulations et de l’hybridation, et la sociologie des mobilisations à l’aune de l’historiographie renouvelée de Mai-Juin 1968. Il se propose d’analyser ce journal protestataire comme un exemple emblématique d’une histoire connectée. En effet, Hay Baykar possède de nombreuses caractéristiques qui l’apparentent à l’extrême gauche française, notamment des acteurs dotés en capital culturel. D’autre part, il articule les héritages endogènes de lutte arménienne avec les expériences exogènes de l’extrême gauche internationale, quand il se réapproprie le marxisme et le tiers-mondisme. Enfin, une lecture diachronique du journal permet, en articulant les échelles, diasporique, nationale et locale, de proposer une périodisation du mouvement Libération arménienne qui le porte, et ainsi de réfléchir sur les multiples temporalités dans lesquelles s’inscrit une diaspora.

Authors: Phina Uchendu Adaeze , Jude Uchendu Obiora 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Nonmedical use of pharmaceutical cognitive enhancers PCE in Universities has been documented in several studies. However, there is paucity of research on this subject among Nigerian University students. This survey hopes to investigate the awareness, use and effect of PCE among undergraduate medical students of a Nigerian University.
Materials and method: The study utilized self-administered questionnaire on the awareness and usage of PCE with respondents composed of 327 medical students at Delta State University, Nigeria.
Results: The respondents have a male to female ratio of 1:0.85 with 99.1% being single. Those living on campus, off campus, family home and dual accommodation, accounted for 65.4%, 30.6%, 2.8% and 0.3% of the participants. In total, 81.7% of the participants are aware of PCE usage for academic purpose. Overall, 40.1% of the respondents reported using one or more of the PCE during the period considered. Caffeinated drinks and beverages, energy drinks, cigarette, marijuana, and Ginseng were used by 82.5%, 50.4%, 3.1%, 1.5% and 1.5% of the users respectively. The motivation for using both caffeinate beverages and energy drinks are for increased study time, concentration and alertness. The more frequent periods of use are during examination period and personal study time. Most of these PCE are self-purchased and choice of usage are mainly influenced by friends. Both set of users reported insomnia, headache, palpitation, dizziness and fatigue as undesirable experience. Among the respondents, 45% are interested in using PCE if there are no undesirable effects; 30% rejected such, while the rest are indifferent.
Conclusion: Our survey showed significant association between the age, male gender and academic level and the usage of PCE. Our respondents used mainly caffeinated beverages and energy drink. Their choice of PCE is strongly influenced by peer pressure and the motivations are mainly to boost studying time, concentration and alertness.

Authors: Imade Jeffrey Imuetinyan , Ehigiamusoe Festus Oghanina , Akhigbe Adenike O. 
Published: April 2024

Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), a hereditary blood disorder caused by an abnormality in haemoglobin can be complicated by impairment of renal function. Renal Doppler ultrasound has been found to be an effective method of evaluating reno-vascular events prior to abnormal laboratory renal function tests.
Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the renal volume (RV), intra-renal resistive and pulsatility indices (RI, PI) among sickle cell patients and controls in UBTH, Benin City using ultrasonography.
Materials and Method: This was a cross-sectional comparative study of renal volume, intra-renal resistive and pulsatility indices among 50 sickle cell disease patients attending sickle cell clinic of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital and equal number of “Age and Sex” matched controls. The study was conducted using a 2-8MHz curvilinear transducer of a SONOACE X6 (Medison Inc., Korea 2010) Doppler ultrasound machine.
Data analysis: Collated data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk. N.Y., USA)
Results: The mean age for the HbSS subjects was 22.4±3.7years while that of the control group was 23.3 ±4.5 years. The left RV was higher than the right RV in HbSS and HbAA: 169.3±40.2 cm3 versus 162.2±40.3 cm3 and 153.9±30.9cm3 versus 134.7±26.4 cm3 respectively. The mean RV, RI and PI was significantly higher in HbSS than controls (RV: 165.8±39.8cm versus 122.9±13.4 cm3 ; p = 0.0001, RI: 0.74±0.02 versus 0.61±0.04; p= 0.0001, PI: 1.43±0.06 cm3 versus 0.90±0.05; p = 0.0001).
Conclusion: Renal volume, RI and PI were statistically significantly higher in HbSS patients than controls.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: In this study, the amino acid composition of cold and hot water extracts of Ficus capensis leaf was examined, along with the impact of yeast fermentation on the amino acid composition of the hot water extract. Although the hot water extract of Ficus capensis is commonly consumed as a beverage locally, there is currently a lack of documented literature regarding the amino acid composition of the wine produced from this extract.
Materials and Methods: Cold and hot water extracts of Ficus capensis leaf was extracted using homogenization and decoction method respectively. Ficus capensis wine was produced from hot water o must prepared using 0.8 g/l yeast, 22 brix, at pH 4.5 and fermented for 9 days. The amino acid composition of the cold water, hot water and wine extracts of Ficus capensis leaf were assessed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Results: The result shows the presence of amino acids in the cold water, hot water and wine extract of Ficus capensis. However the wine contained more amino acids with methionine an essential amino acid having the highest concentration. Conclusion: Fermentation of the hot water extract should be encouraged since it improved the amino acid content of the wine produced and would serve as an additional raw material for wine industry. Moderate consumption of Ficus capensis wine could potentially be beneficial to health and as well as combat the problem of malnutrition.

Authors: Ehigiamusoe F.O. , Emilomon J.O. 
Published: April 2024

Objectives: Doppler ultrasonography (USS) is a relatively new radiological procedure in our environment but gradually gaining recognition in assessment of lower limb pathologies. This study aims to assess the pattern of referrals for lower limb Doppler USS and the outcome of the procedure at the University of Benin teaching hospital
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out at the University of Benin teaching hospital, between January 2018 and June 2019. The request forms and Doppler scan results of patients done within this period were retrieved and relevant information were obtained and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences, version 23.
Results: A total of 204 patients comprising of 125 females (61.3%) and 79 males (38.7%) were analyzed in this study. Mean age of study population was 55.25±17.02 years. The commonest indication for lower limb Doppler scan was leg swelling (70, 22.8%) while the least was peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (14, 4.6%) The commonest Doppler ultrasound finding was PAD (74, 44.3%), followed by DVT (39, 23.4%). The least findings on Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb was arterio-venous malformation (AV) malformation (1, 0.6%). Arterial wall calcification (100%) was the commonest Doppler finding in patients with PAD. DVT occurred more in the left lower limb (67.7%) than right limb (32.3%) and superficial femoral vein (27.8%) was most affected.
Conclusion: This study has shown that Doppler scan is quite relevant in lower limb pathologies and peripheral artery disease is the commonest diagnosis in the lower limb.
Plasma Fibrinogen Levels and Protein C Activity in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital
Authors: Adeyemi O. , Awodu O.A. 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Haemostatic abnormalities have been observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypercoagulability and thrombotic complications may contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality associated with CKD. Thrombotic tendency has not been fully evaluated in CKD subjects in our environment. This research was to assess the plasma fibrinogen and protein C activity levels in patients with CKD in a Nigerian tertiary hospital, with the view of deducing their associations with thromboembolic manifestations and providing possible therapeutic interventions.
Material and Methods: A hospital based, cross-sectional survey conducted amongst CKD patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT), who were managed in the renal unit of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). Participants were appropriately matched with apparently healthy control subjects and these were interviewed with a structured questionnaire to obtain data on their clinical details as well as hospital records. Citrated plasma was obtained and analysed to determine the functional protein C activity as well as the fibrinogen levels of both subjects on RRT and apparently healthy control. Haematologic and biochemical parameters were also determined including complete blood count, urea and creatinine and liver function tests. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results were presented in tables and charts
Results: A total of 222 subjects participated in this study, comprising 74 patients with CKD on conservative management, 74 subjects with CKD on RRT, and 74 apparently healthy control subjects. The mean age across the groups including subjects on conservative management, RRT, and controls were 54.70±14.42, 49.5±15.73, and 49.3±12.5 years respectively; with the median age of 56-, 52-, and 48.5- years f across the groups respectively. The mean plasma fibrinogen levels across the groups were 240.4±57.76, 241.8±54.87, 360.9±69.5mg/dl respectively. This was statistically significant. The mean protein C activity for the respective groups was 59.6 ± 24.20, 63.6 ± 28.89, 86.7.±2.6%. Protein C activity was significantly depleted in the CKD subjects (p = 0.002).
Conclusion: The study showed a low protein C activity amongst patients with CKD and those with cardiovascular or thromboembolic events, suggestive of thromboembolic risk in these individuals. Contrary to existing literature, plasma fibrinogen levels were not significantly elevated in patients with CKD, and there was no association with thromboembolic events.
