‘Iron women’ dislodging ‘provider masculinities’: Why Connell’s framework of Hegemonic Masculinities is ‘useful but unhelpful’?
Authors: Sipungu Thoko 
Published: December 2023

Since its introduction into the field of men and masculinities, Connell’s theoretical framework of hegemonic masculinities has been widely applied even in contexts outside the Western gender order for which it was originally intended. The framework has found application even in the context of IsiXhosa manhood in South Africa. In this paper, I seek to contest the wholesale applicability of this framework in rural and poverty-stricken contexts such as the Eastern Cape, South Africa and perhaps peel off this generalized application of hegemonic masculinities in contexts outside the Western gender order. I rely on newspaper reports, personal observations and anecdotes - as a resident in the Eastern Cape - about rural women who sell scrap metal by the roadside to illustrate the unhelpfulness of wholesale application of Connell’s framework in this context. In conclusion, I advocate for ‘dominance without hegemony’ as a more suitable theoretical framework to theorize masculinities in areas with high poverty rather than Connell’s ‘hegemonic masculinities’.

We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial among patients initiating treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). Participants received real-time electronic adherence monitors and were randomized (1:1:1) to: (i) daily SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent daily for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); (ii) weekly SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent weekly for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); or (iii) control (no SMS). Feasibility was mainly verified by the technical function of the intervention at Month 6. The primary outcome was percent adherence as ascertained by the real time monitor. Quantitative feasibility/acceptability data were summarized descriptively. Percentage adherence and adherence patterns were assessed and compared by linear regression models. Qualitative acceptability data was collected through interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Among 63 participants, the median age was 35 years, 75% had no regular income, and 84% were living with HIV. Feasibility was demonstrated as most of the daily [1913/2395 (80%)] and weekly [631/872 (72%)] SMS reminders to TB patients were sent successfully. Also, most of the daily [1577/2395 (66%)] and weekly [740/872 (85%)] SMS notifications to social supporters and adherence data (96%) were sent successfully. Challenges included TB status disclosure, and financial constraints. All patients perceived the intervention to be useful in reminding and motivating them to take medication. Median adherence (IQR) in the daily SMS, weekly SMS, and control arms was 96.1% (84.8, 98.0), 92.5% (80.6, 96.3), and 92.2% (56.3, 97.8), respectively; however, differences between the intervention and control arms were not statistically significant. Real-time monitoring linked to SMS was feasible and acceptable and may have improved TB medication adherence. Larger studies are needed to further assess impact on adherence and clinical outcomes.

Difficulties in eating out of home while diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease: A qualitative interview study from China
Authors: Yin Tingting , Ye Ran , Wang Qiuqin , Wang Lulu , Xu Wenjing , Tu Wenjing , Xu Guihua 
Published: December 2023

Background
Meeting healthy dietary needs while eating out can be a challenging experience for adults with inflammatory bowel disease. This study examined the barriers experienced by adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) when eating out.

Objective
This study aimed to explore the perceptions of people with IBD on eating out barriers.

Design
A qualitative study among individuals affected by IBD was conducted through semi-structured interviews.

Results
Sixteen adults from China were diagnosed with IBD between 6 months and 20 years prior to the study. They were recruited from four tertiary care hospitals in Nanjing, China. The participants completed a semi-structured interview between April and September 2022. Self-perceived difficulties with eating and drinking when eating out were varied. After thematic analysis of the data, five main themes emerged: limited access to healthy and hygiene food; no pleasure of food enjoyment; financial strain; not feeling loved, supported or understood; and coping strategies for not meeting demand.

Conclusions
This study highlights the various barriers encountered by patients with inflammatory bowel disease when eating out. These findings will help people with IBD to encourage the formation of targeted health and well-being-related interventions. Knowledge of nutrition and diet should be provided in education and training programs administered to IBD.
Impact of hospital accreditation on quality improvement in healthcare: A systematic review
Authors: Alhawajreh Mohammad J. , Paterson Audrey S. , Jackson William J. 
Published: December 2023

ObjectiveThis is the first systematic review aims to build the evidence for the impact of accreditation on quality improvement of healthcare services, as well as identify and develop an understanding of the contextual factors influencing accreditation implementation in the hospital setting through the lens of Normalisation Process Theory (NPT).Data sourcesData were gathered from five databases; MEDLINE, PUBMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. And supplemental sources.Study designThis systematic review is reported following PRISMA guidelines with a quality assessment. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis guided by the NPT theoretical framework.Data collection/extraction methodsData were extracted and summarized using prespecified inclusion/exclusion criteria and a data extraction sheet encompassing all necessary information about the studies included in the review.Principal findingsThere are inconsistent findings about the impact of accreditation on improving healthcare quality and outcomes, and there is scant evidence about its effectiveness. The findings also provide valuable insights into the key factors that may influence hospital accreditation implementation and develop a better understanding of their potential implications. Using the NPT shows a growing emphasis on the enactment work of the accreditation process and how this may drive improving the quality of healthcare services. However, little focus is given to accreditation’s effects on health professionals’ roles and responsibilities, strategies and ways for engaging health professionals for effective implementation, and ensuring that the goals and potential benefits of accreditation are made clear and transparent through ongoing evaluation and feedback to all health professionals involved in the accreditation process.ConclusionsWhile there are contradictory findings about the impact of accreditation on improving the quality of healthcare services, accreditation continues to gain acceptance internationally as a quality assurance tool to support best practices in evaluating the quality outcomes of healthcare delivered. Policymakers, healthcare organisations, and researchers should proactively consider a set of key factors for the future implementation of accreditation programmes if they are to be effectively implemented and sustained within the hospital setting.Systematic review registration:International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020172390 Available from:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=172390.

Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho objetivou caracterizar a percepção ambiental de alunos concluintes do curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas do polo CEDERJ/UERJ Nova Friburgo/RJ, além de discutir como estes concluintes encaram sua formação docente frente a temática da educação ambiental. O trabalho tem natureza explanatória e utilizou um questionário que foi realizado aos alunos concluintes do curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas no polo do Centro de Educação à Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - Nova Friburgo, no ano de 2012. Foi identificado que os alunos apresentam uma visão naturalista do ambiente, caracterizada por preconizar soluções simplistas para os problemas ambientais e por conduzirem práticas ambientais distorcidas e pouco efetivas. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho expõem uma demanda de complementação da formação docente (inicial/continuada) de educadores ambientais na modalidade de Ensino à Distância.
The Vanity Theme and Critical Wisdom in Mesopotamian Literature
Authors: Viano Maurizio 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe heading “vanity theme” has been attributed to various Sumerian and Akkadian literary compositions that would represent a form of wisdom critical of traditional values. The present article revises those compositions arguing that they do not propound a critical view of traditional wisdom but simply reflect on the finitude of human nature. Critical wisdom only surfaces in a limited number of compositions mostly attested in Middle Babylonian sources. The vanity theme is not only tied to critical views of traditional values but is a flexible literary motif that was adapted to different contexts and compositions.
The discursive construction of a news event: Access and legitimation in the media framing of an escalated anti-asylum protest in Belgium
Authors: Hau Priscilla , Paulussen Steve , Maeseele Pieter 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In October 2019, the Belgian government announced the opening of an asylum center in a former retirement home, leading to civic and political protest that escalated into arson. We examine the construction of the events before, on, and after the arson by analyzing 135 articles from Flemish newspapers, the public broadcaster’s news website, and alternative media between October 25 and November 30, 2019 using qualitative content analysis. Our analysis emphasizes journalists’ role as gatekeepers, deciding which actors get access and legitimation in media coverage. Focus is on the dynamic process of how events become discursively constructed through the interventions of journalists and their sources attempting to gain primary definer status. Our analysis confirms that institutional sources remain more likely to achieve primary definer status in legacy news media. Alternative media perform similar discursive interventions as legacy news media but utilize them to provide access and legitimacy to different actors and standpoints. In the first days of news coverage, in particular, the narratives developed in right-leaning alternative media seemed to spread in legacy news media. In the following days, governmental actors and experts, through their interventions in legacy news media, were able to steer the discourse in a different direction.

Abstract
This paper introduces a new method for creating an all-optical AND gate by utilizing a two-dimensional photonic crystal configuration for the first time. This gate design is intended for applications in optical computing and all-optical logic, offering the potential for rapid computation and parallel processing. The described gate is characterized by its compact dimensions and comprises two inputs and a single output. The high and low logic states are defined based on power values, where logic 0 corresponds to low power and logic 1 corresponds to high power emitted from the light source. To enhance the design process, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are utilized. ANNs offer a powerful tool for optimizing and fine-tuning the photonic crystal structure parameters to achieve the desired logic functionality. With the help of the applied ANNs, the design process is eased and high performance is achieved for the proposed photonic crystal structure. By integrating ANNs into the design process, this research opens up new possibilities for advancing the field of photonic logic circuits. Combining photonic crystals and ANN optimization provides a powerful approach to designing complex and efficient optical computing systems. The results show that the obtained power values are high for 1 logic state and low for the 0 logic state, which verifies the AND gate accuracy table. The achieved accurate results verify the validity of the proposed approach for achieving precise and reliable all-optical logic operations.
Explaining breakthrough behaviour in shale rock: influence of capillary effects and geomechanics
Authors: Anuprienko Denis , Svitelman Valentina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Shale rock, being a common caprock for carbon dioxide reservoirs, is subject to extensive research. One of the topics is breakthrough phenomena during injection of supercritical carbon dioxide in shale, the nature of which is still to be fully understood. In the present paper, a two-phase flow model, which may possibly be used to explain the breakthrough behaviour is examined. Capillary effects and geomechanics are included in the model, and influential model parameters are determined.

Authors: Maliassov Serguei Yu. , Vassilevski Yuri V. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
We show theoretically and numerically that the lowest non-trivial eigenvector function for a specific eigenproblem has almost constant values in high conductivity channels, which are different in separate channels. Therefore, based on these distinct values, all separate connected clusters of open pores can be identified in digital cores.
Crystal structures of а series of 1-substituted imidazol-4,5-dicarboxylic acids

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Crystal structure of a series of 1-alkylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acids has been determined. It is shown that an increase in the length of the alkyl group leads to drastic changes in the crystal and molecular structures. 1-Methyl and 1-ethylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid crystallize in zwitterionic form, but 1-propyl- and 1-butylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid crystallize as rare equimolar mixture of neutral and zwitterionic tautomeric forms. The observed changes in the crystal and molecular structures are apparently associated with the steric factor, which determines both the packing method and the tautomeric composition of the unit cell.

with in Methanol medium. The ligands and complexes were characterized by various analytical and spectral techniques such as FT-IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral techniques. From the spectral data we confirmed that the ligands neutrally coordinated with Pd(II) ion via their lactone oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and oxazolyl ring nitrogen atoms. The electrolytic nature of the complexes was confirmed by using conductivity experiments. Further anticancer activity of the compounds has examined with HeLa (human cervical cancer) cells along with the cisplatin as positive control and the obtained results revealed that the complexes possess significant anticancer activity and non-toxic towards HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial) cells.
Racial and Ethnic Disparities for Unmet Needs by Mental Health Condition: 2016 to 2021
Authors: Chang Andrew R. , Slopen Natalie 
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVES
Racial and ethnic minority children receive less care and inferior care in the United States, but less is known about how these disparities vary by mental health conditions. We examined unmet mental health needs by condition types to identify potentially hidden racial and ethnic inequities.

METHODS
We used data from the nationally representative National Survey of Children’s Health, from 2016 to 2021 (n = 172 107). Logistic regression analyses were applied to mental health conditions in aggregate and individually and adjusted for individual and household characteristics.

RESULTS
Relative to non-Hispanic white children with any mental health condition, non-Hispanic Black children had greater odds of unmet needs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18–2.05). Models disaggregated by specific mental health conditions revealed heterogeneous patterns. Specifically, relative to non-Hispanic white children, non-Hispanic Black children displayed elevated odds of unmet needs for behavioral problems (aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.00–2.02), whereas Asian and Hispanic children displayed elevated odds for anxiety (aOR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.20–4.29 and aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.05–1.90, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS
Racial and ethnic minority children are disproportionately affected by unmet treatment needs. These disparities vary by individual mental health conditions and persist after controlling for socioeconomic characteristics. Results reveal clinically underserved racial and ethnic groups across different mental health conditions.

Osteodystrophy is caused by polyetiological factors, the main being disturbance of metabolism of macroelements and D and A vitamins. The disease continues to impose great economic losses on animal husbandry, reduces cattle productivity, and hinders effective work in this sphere. To study the pathogenesis and early diagnostics of bovine osteodystrophy, we examined the markers of metabolism of the connective tissue: macro- and microelements, general glycosaminoglycans and their fractions, chondroitin sulfate, sialoglycoproteins, oxoproline, citric acid, and osteocalcin. In the cows with subclinical course of osteodystrophy, the content of total calcium was decreased by 18.9% and such of phosphorus by 5.7%. In 95% of the clinically ill animals, we diagnosed hypocalcemia, combined with hypophosphatemia, in 35.0% of the cows. In blood serum of the cows with subclinical course of osteodystrophy, we found decrease in the concentration of citric acid down to 157.7 ± 2.1 mmol/L, in the clinically ill – 146.8 ± 1.2 mmol/L and osteocalcin – to 1.12 ± 0.04 and 0.72 ± 0.04 ng/mL, respectively. We determined increases in concentrations of chondroitin sulfates, sialoglycoproteins, total glycosaminoglycans and their fractions: chondroitin-6-sulfate, chondroitine-4-sulfate, keratan- and heparin- and dermatan sulfates, and heparine. The most informative criteria for diagnostics of subclinical course of osteodystrophy were citric acid, total glycosaminoglycans and their first and third fractions, chondroitin sulfates and sialoglycoproteins, because they were above the physiological limits in 100% of the cows with subclinical course of the disease, whereas in the clinically healthy animals, osteocalcin decreased in 60 and 100% of the cases, respectively.
