Complementary Feeding Practices and Nutritional Status of Children Aged 6–23 Months Residing in an Urban Slum of Mumbai
Authors: Majgaonkar Surbhi , Karande Vishal , Sadawarte Deepika Mandar 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices improve the overall health, development, and nutritional status of children <2 years of age. Children are at higher risk of malnutrition during the period of complementary feeding, especially those living in slums due to poor living conditions. Unhealthy food consumption is increasing among young children. These foods displace nutritious foods and can lead to malnutrition. This study aims to assess complementary feeding practices and nutritional status of children aged 6–23 months residing in an urban slum of Mumbai.

Methodology:
The study was a community-based, cross-sectional study, conducted at the field practice area of Urban Health and Training Center, Department of Community Medicine, Seth GSMC and KEMH. Mothers of children aged 6–23 months of age were interviewed using IYCF indicators for complementary feeding and unhealthy food consumption. Length and weight of children were recorded to assess nutritional status using Z-score. The sample size was 140.

Results:
Timely introduction of complementary feeds was found in 67.2% of children. Minimum dietary diversity was adequate in 34.3% of children, minimum meal frequency in 72.9% of children, and minimum acceptable diet in 27.1% of children. The prevalence of wasting was 23.6%, underweight 36.4%, and stunting 43.6%, as per Z-score. Unhealthy food consumption was present in 62.9% of study participants. Dietary inadequacy was found to be significantly associated with underweight status of the child, unhealthy food consumption, and lack of reception of counseling for complementary feeding (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Dietary diversity and dietary adequacy were unsatisfactory in most children. A high prevalence of stunting was observed.
A Cross-sectional Study to Assess the Magnitude of Aggression and its Associated Factor in School-going Adolescents in Shastri Nagar Area, Patna, Bihar
Authors: Bharati Dharmvir Ranjan , Choudhary Sanjay Kumar , Prasad Nidhi , Kumar Sanjay 
Published: January 2024

Introduction:
Aggression has not been identified as a behavioral problem, and therefore, it has not been addressed properly. Due to the paucity of relevant data and the defunct school mental health program, it is still not an area of concern. Mental health has been stigmatized, and dependence on specialized care for every problem is overburdening the health-care system.

Materials and Methods:
Adolescents from Class 6th to 11th were enrolled in the study, and data on sociodemographic, personal detail, and aggression detail were collected.

Results:
The prevalence of anger was 27.2%, and diet, harassment, age, number of family members, screen time, depression, and body mass index were found to be significant factors.

Conclusion:
Adolescence which is the transition phase should be identified as a phase of physio-socio-psychological management. Managing and coping with varied issues can affect mental health which needs identification and guidance. Life skill education and curriculum in school can aid in problem-solving.

Published: January 2024

Background & objectives:
Malaria is one of the critical public health problems globally as well as in India. Recent times have seen an increase in the importance of the possible effects of environmental and demographic factors on the local transmission of malaria. We conducted a community-level study between urban and rural areas to find out the factors associated with malaria infection.

Methods:
A community-based observational cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2020 and September 2022 among 330 households from urban areas of Chetla, Kolkata and rural areas of Singur district of West Bengal state of India. Households were selected by two stage random sampling method. Study was done by face-to-face interview, review of medical records and observation of the households. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Multivariable logistic regression (hierarchical model) was done and p-value equal to or less than 0.05 was taken as significant.

Results:
The prevalence of malaria infection among participants and household level risks of malaria infection were found to be 6.1%, 1.8% and 18.8%, 6.7%, respectively in the urban and rural areas. Significant predictors of malaria infection were households with ≥5 family members [AOR=2.91{CI (1.19-7.15)}], households not using any mosquito protective measures [AOR=3.71{CI (1.04-13.13)}], presence of mosquito breeding places [AOR=4.93{CI (1.53-15.93)}], absence of effective window screen [AOR=3.19{CI (1.16-8.71)}], absence of separate kitchen [AOR=2.38{CI (1.06-5.34)}], and inadequate lighting condition in the house [AOR=4.35{CI (1.78-10.64)}].

Interpretation & conclusion:
This study provides important insights into the epidemiology of malaria in a high and low-transmission setting in West Bengal, India. Intensified efforts strengthening community mobilization for preventing breeding places for mosquito. Policy should strengthen investment in housing programs that may complement reduction of malaria transmission. Disease reduction effects of Government and local non-governmental organizations should be directed towards those areas in order to decrease disease load.

Authors: Shahabuddin Fauzia , Itrat Malik , Kumar Sampath 
Published: January 2024

Background & objectives:
Vector-borne diseases pose substantial global health challenges, with a notable impact on India. Effective vector control strategies are crucial to mitigating these diseases as there are no effective vaccines available. Synthetic chemicals are widely used but concerns about safety and environmental impact have prompted exploration of alternative natural solutions. Unani medicine offers a potential source of natural products. This study aims to systematically review classical Unani texts and contemporary scientific literature to evaluate the vector control potential of Unani medicines.

Methods:
A comprehensive review of classical Unani texts was carried out to compile data on herbal and mineral substances suggested in Unani medicine for control of insects. Furthermore, electronic databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct were explored for research studies evaluating the insect repellent, larvicidal, and insecticidal activities of the Unani medicines. Time restriction was not imposed to ensure comprehensive retrieval of pertinent and up-to-date information.

Results:
From classical Unani texts, 29 drugs were identified for control of insects, primarily of plant origin from diverse botanical families. Recent scientific investigations have confirmed the insect-repellent, insecticidal, and larvicidal activities of 19 of these Unani medicines against various insect species, including mosquitoes.

Interpretation & conclusion:
These findings underscore the potential of Unani medicines as a natural source for vector control. However, further research is essential to explore mechanism, delivery methods, and optimal concentrations for developing effective vector-control formulations.

Authors: Shakoori Afnan Mohammed , Alhakami Fatemah , Sindi Ghadir , Alyahyawi Areej Yahya , Alhazzaa Rasha Abdullah 
Published: January 2024

Background & objectives:
The human blood parasite Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis or grayish discoloration of the skin (black fever/kala-azar). Antitumor drugs such as daunorubicin and etoposide can help to treat such diseases. The computational approach is used to find a better interaction of drugs with the active site of the protein and help to design new drugs.

Methods:
In this study, we have optimized two antitumor drugs, daunorubicin and etoposide. We studied frontier molecular orbitals, electrostatic potential (MEP) maps, and the natural bond order analysis of these anticancer drugs, followed by molecular docking with Leishmania donovani protein.

Results:
The three-dimensional structure of MapK from Leishmania donovani is LDBPK-331470. Our computational calculations reveal that daunorubicin and etoposide drugs can have an affinity with MapK from Leishmania donovani.

Interpretation & conclusion:
Our study predicted that both daunorubicin and etoposide could have a similar affinity with the protein (UvrD) Leishmania donovani.

Balancing Performance and Brand Marketing Goals: A Synergistic Approach to Sustainable Growth
Authors: Jha Ananya 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The pursuit of sustainable growth in today's competitive landscape necessitates a delicate balancing act between performance marketing, focused on immediate conversions and ROI, and brand marketing, emphasizing long-term brand building and customer loyalty. Businesses face the pressure to drive immediate sales through performance marketing, yet also recognize the critical role of brand marketing in building long-term customer loyalty and resilience.
This paper challenges the conventional view of performance and brand marketing as rivals. Instead, it proposes a paradigm shift: acknowledging them as additional forces.
Methodology: The methodology used for attaining a balanced approach includes ideas and real life example from the Edtech industry to effectively incorporate both perspectives. By viewing them as interconnected gears in the growth engine, we can unlock synergistic potential.
Findings: Performance marketing, often characterized by its focus on quantifiable metrics like conversions and return on investment (ROI), has become a dominant force in the marketing landscape
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: Creating competition between brand building and performance marketing leads to a zero-sum game, where both strategies suffer and overall marketing impact diminishes.
