Why Mothers are Less Enthusiastic About Breastfeeding than the Experts in China: Evidence from the Social Media Platform Zhihu
Authors: Fang Gege , Zhu Can , Chen Zhiyun 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
With attention to healthy parenting growing in China, a heated discourse on the merits and demerits of breastfeeding versus formula feeding is pushed to the forefront of social media. Using big data and content analysis methods we explore the difference between professionals and laypeople discussing the issue on one popular social media platform. We collect 100 related questions and 4447 corresponding answers from 1 January 2018 to 1 March 2022 on the Q&A platform Zhihu. We employ automated text analysis on the length of answers, attitude distribution, and high-frequency words of the two groups. Further, we analyze both groups' degrees of participation and emotion for different topics using structural topic modeling. We find the answers from professionals to be longer than those from laypeople. Professionals are more likely to express positive attitudes toward breastfeeding than laypeople. Breastfeeding was widely recommended in the professional discourse and was regarded as a mainstream and politically-correct view. However, average females (especially those with experiences of lactation) and modern mothers-to-be are defying such “conventional wisdom”.

Abstract
Year 12 students in Big Picture Learning schools around Australia now use portfolios and interviews to gain entry to their first choice of university course, on the strength of their non-ATAR credential, known as the International Big Picture Learning Credential, or IBPLC. In 2022, 214 students were awarded an IBPLC with 76 of these gaining entries to university. Like other Big Picture graduates who went before them, they are continuing a trajectory of interest and learning that began back in Year 9 or 10 at a Big Picture Learning school. Many come ready to begin tertiary study equipped with experiences of learning in the real world, strong support systems with a range of mentors and teachers, some specialist knowledge in their chosen field, and a set of independent learning skills that will allow them to thrive in the university setting. In this article, we share the preliminary findings of a study of graduates of Big Picture Learning Australia secondary schools who have matriculated using the IBPLC. Findings from our surveys and interviews show promise that the learning design of Big Picture, which starts with an internship in a passion area is the key factor in enabling the success of graduates both from high school and into their university careers.

Abstract
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) as plasticizers and flame retardants are ubiquitous in various environments. The concentration, distribution and risk of OPEs has caused global concern in recent years. The Luoma Lake is one of drinking water source and four major freshwater in the Jiangsu provinces. The aim of this study is to investigate the pollution level of 11 OPEs in surface water and sediment of Luoma Lake within inflowing and outflowing river. The total concentration of 11 OPEs in the water and sediment were 1751–3967 ng/L and 288–513 µg/kg (ww), respectively. The concentration of 11 OPEs in Fangting River were higher than that in Yi River. Tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) were the most abundant in the surface water. Tri-p-tolyl phosphate (TPTP) and Tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCIPP) were the most abundant in the sediment. From the ecological risk, TPhP and TCIPP were the most significant contributors with moderate to high risk at all sampling sites, whereas most other OPEs posed low risk to the aquatic environment.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Nonpigmented malignant spindle cell tumours of the membrana nictitans are rare in dogs. In twenty-three years only three cases have been diagnosed in Scandinavia. This study describes the three cases of malignant tumours of the membrana nictitans recorded by the Eye Pathology Section, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, with reference to the clinical appearance and work-up, the treatment and prognosis, the histopathological description including immunohistochemistry. The three cases are compared to previous publications on canine tumours of the nictitating membrane. Immunohistochemistry has been performed for many years in human pathology and in veterinary medicine. The need of protocols that are adapted to dogs is emphasised.
Results
The dogs presented were an 8-year-old Dachshund, a 12-year-old Akita and a 14-year-old Shetland Sheepdog. All three dogs were entire females. All three nictitating membrane tumours developed on the right side as firm or multilobulated hyperemic masses. Two of the tumours were macroscopically nonpigmented, the third being partly pigmented and ulcerated. According to the histopathology and for two of the cases immunohistochemistry with dog-adapted protocols the diagnoses included one hemangiosarcoma and two amelanotic malignant melanomas. Tumour regrowth developed in all three cases and repeated resections were completed 1, 2 and 3 times, respectively, with recurrence experienced within 1.5 months − 3 years.
Conclusions
Nonpigmented malignant spindle cell tumours of the canine membrana nictitans are rare. Treatment of choice should be complete excision with a free margin and in case of a recurrence a full resection of the nictitating membrane. We strongly recommend a dog-adapted protocol for immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
Background
Urinary stress incontinence leads to a decrease in the quality of life of women. Pender's health promotion model discusses how to change one's lifestyle. In some populations, adopting the Pender model and lifestyle improvements have improved people's quality of life. However, limited studies have been conducted on improving the quality of life of people with stress urinary incontinence using models. In this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of group counseling based on the Pender Health Promotion Model on the quality of life of women with stress urinary incontinence.
Methods
This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Seventy women were selected using available methods and then randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups using permutation blocks. Sampling was conducted at two pelvic floor disease specialty clinics, Qaim Hospital and Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad from May 2022 to September 2022. The intervention group received six group counseling sessions and one individual counseling session based on the configurations of Pender's health promotion model. Data development tools included the Demographic Questionnaire, the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire for Patients with Urinary Incontinence (IQOL), the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS21). Tool’s validity was confirmed by content validity and reliability using the Cronbach alpha method. In both groups, questionnaires were completed before and immediately two months after the intervention ended. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software.
Results
Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the two groups' average total score on the quality of life questionnaires (P = 0.945). However, there was a substantial increase in the intervention group's quality of life questionnaires compared to the preintervention and control groups immediately following the intervention and over the next two months (P < 0.001).
Conclusion
Group counseling based on the Pender's health promotion model improves the quality of life of women with stress urine incontinence, and it is recommended that this model be used.

Self-enhanced localized alkalinity at the encapsulated Cu catalyst for superb electrocatalytic nitrate/nitrite reduction to NH3 in neutral electrolyte
Authors: Hu Zheng , Shen Zhen , Chen Guanghai , Cheng Xueyi , Xu Fengfei , Huang Hongwen , Wang Xizhang , Yang Lijun , Wu Qiang 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrate/nitrite reduction reaction (eNOx−RR) to NH3 is thermodynamically more favorable than the eye-catching N2 electroreduction, showing wide application scenarios. To date, the high catalytic activity for eNOx−RR-to-NH3 is limited to strong alkaline electrolytes, but cannot be achieved in economic and sustainable neutral/near-neutral electrolytes. Herein, we construct a novel Cu catalyst which is encapsulated inside the hydrophilic hierarchical nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages (Cu@hNCNC). During eNOx−RR, the hNCNC shell hinders the diffusion of generated OH− ions to the outside of hNCNC, and thus creates a self-enhanced local high pH environment around the inside Cu nanoparticles, which is supported by the experimental results and finite element simulations. Consequently, the Cu@hNCNC catalyst exhibits an excellent eNOx−RR-to-NH3 activity even in neutral electrolyte, equivalent to the Cu catalyst immobilized on outer surface of hNCNC (Cu/hNCNC) in strong alkaline electrolyte, with much better stability for the former. In the neutral electrolyte with 1 mol L−1 NOx−, Cu@hNCNC catalyst exhibits a record-high NH3 yield rate up to 4.0 mol h−1 g−1 with high Faradaic efficiency of 99.7%. The strong-alkalinity-free advantage suggests the potential application, and the practicability of Cu@hNCNC catalyst is demonstrated in a coupled plasma-driven N2 oxidization with eNOx−RR-to-NH3 process. This study presents an advanced approach to high-efficient eNOx−RR-to-NH3 in neutral/near-neutral electrolytes with scientific and technological significance, and even beyond.
pH-dependent virucidal effects of weak acids against pathogenic viruses
Authors: Hu Weiyin , Shimoda Hiroshi , Tsuchiya Yoshihiro , Kishi Mikiya , HAYASAKA DAISUKE 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Weak acids, such as acetic acid, show virucidal effects against viruses, and disinfectants are considered effective virucidal agents possibly because of their low pH, depending on the proton concentration. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different weak acids (acetic, oxalic, and citric acids) and eligible vinegars under different pH conditions by comparing their inactivation efficacies against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
Methods
Acetic, oxalic, and citric acids were adjusted to pH values of 2, 4 and 6, respectively. They were also diluted from 1 M to 0.001 M with distilled water. Enveloped influenza A virus (FulV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and non-enveloped feline calicivirus (FCV) were treated with adjusted weak acids for 10 min. These viruses were also reacted with white distilled vinegar (WDV) and grain-flavored distilled vinegar (GV) for 1–30 min. Infectious viral titers after the reactions were expressed as plaque-forming units per mL.
Results
Acetic acid showed virucidal effects against FulV at pH 4, whereas citric and oxalic acids did not. Acetic and citric acids inactivated SARS-CoV-2 at pH 2, whereas oxalic acid did not. All acids showed virucidal effects against FVC at pH 2; however, not at pH 4. The virucidal effects of the serially diluted weak acids were also reflected in the pH-dependent results. WDV and GV significantly reduced FulV titers after 1 min. SARS-CoV-2 was also susceptible to the virucidal effects of WDV and GV; however, the incubation period was extended to 30 min. In contrast, WDV and GV did not significantly inactivate FCV.
Conclusions
The inactivation efficacy of weak acids is different even under the same pH conditions, suggesting that the virucidal effect of weak acids is not simply determined by pH, but that additional factors may also influence these effects. Moreover, eligible vinegars, the main component of which is acetic acid, may be potential sanitizers for some enveloped viruses, such as FulV, in the domestic environment.
The nexus between globalization, income inequality and economic growth: the experience of Sub-Saharan African countries
Authors: Marie Ndongo Bessala Joseph , NKOA François Colin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the effects of income inequality and globalization on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis is based on a panel VAR model of 42 countries. This approach was chosen because of the presence of endogenous variables in the model. The results show that the countries in the sample are not converging at the same pace, but are distinguished by different growth dynamics. Income inequality and economic growth are driving globalization in Sub-Saharan Africa. Income inequality favours economic growth and globalization in sub-Saharan Africa. A globalization shock has a negative impact on income inequality in the short term, but this effect begins to diminish after three years. We recommend that Sub-Saharan African countries take strong policy initiatives to break out of the "poverty trap" and create conditions conducive to higher growth rates in order to reap the benefits of globalization.

Abstract
Nile tilapia with clinical signs of haemorrhages on the lower jaw, abdominal region and fin bases, discoloration of gill and cloudy eye were obtained from grow-out ponds situated in different parts of India and screened for tilapia lake virus (TiLV) and tilapia parvovirus (TiPV) by RT-PCR and PCR, respectively. The results showed the infection caused by TiPV in tilapia collected from ponds. It was further confirmed by the primers specific to TiPV designed by different workers. Sequence analysis of 534 bp of genomic region of TiPV showed 100% similarity with the sequence of TiPV strain of Thailand. TiPV was found in different organs including eggs of infected fish and showed the possibility of systemic infection and vertical transmission. Snakehead kidney, snubnose pompano fin and tilapia heart cell lines were shown susceptibility to TiPV. The viral replication in cell lines was confirmed by PCR, TiPV specific cytopathic effect of Cowdry A inclusion bodies with clear halo surrounding them and infectivity experiment. The disease was reproduced in normal fish by IM route using viral inoculum from TiPV-infected fish or virus multiplied in susceptible cell lines to satisfy Koch’s postulates. The present report on the occurrence of TiPV in tilapia is the first time in India after China and Thailand.
Educational programme to implement skin-to-skin contact for preterm infants in the intensive care units: Qualitative Study
Authors: Denge Takalani , Bam Edith , Lubbe Welma , Rakhudu Annah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) has been embraced as an effective and efficient method of neonatal care. The healthcare institutions in South Africa especially North West Province (NWP) have not increased the implementation of SSC even after more than a decade of its recommendation by the World Health Organization (WHO). South Africa constitutes 60% of low birth weight (LBW) preterm infants’ mortality rate globally. This has led to a concern about the perceptions of the key drivers and parents of preterm infants regarding the implementation of SSC in the intensive care units to reduce preterm mortality rate. Therefore, this study aims to develop an educational programme to implement SSC for preterm infants in the intensive care unit of the NWP.
Methods
This study will be done in three phases. Phase 1: Integrative literature review (ILR) adopted the following five steps: formulation of the review question, search strategy, critical appraisal, data analysis synthesis and conclusion. Phase 2: Empirical study using a qualitative exploratory and descriptive design. Purposive sampling will be used to select two populations. Population one will be parents of preterm infants and population two will be Registered nurses and midwives. Semi-structured focus group discussions (FGDs) with a minimum of 6 participants will be used to collect data in both populations until reaching data saturation. Data will be analyzed using steps proposed by Creswell and Clark. Phase 3: Development of an educational programme to implement skin-to-skin for preterm infants in the intensive care units using Kellogg’s Logic Model (KLM). The following three KLM steps for the development of educational programme will be used: Inputs and activities, Identify Outputs, Outcomes and Outcomes Indicators.
Conclusion
This chapter provided a background to the research and a brief structure of the thesis. The research aim and objectives and research methodology highlighted. Findings from phases 1 and 2 will be used to form the basis for the development of an educational programme in phase 3.
Advertising, Gender, and Consumer Culture in Bangladesh
Authors: Chowdhury Iqbal Ahmed 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Advertising is one of the media that contributes to cultural diffusion. This paper analyzes whether television advertising can diffuse new cultural practices and reinforce existing ones for female consumers in Bangladesh. Grounding on the “cultivation theory” of George Gerbner and the “responsive chord theory” of Tony Schwartz, it analyzes prime-time television advertising of the three most-watched Bangladeshi television channels along with data collected from 60 in-depth interviews. The results reveal that Bangladeshi television advertisements often introduce new cultures for women consumers whereby they can challenge existing stereotypical gendered practices including riding bicycles and going out of home alone. In addition, they reinforce existing gendered cultural practices that inform patriarchal values (particularly in rural areas) in that women's primary goal is to satisfy family members and stay at home, etc. The study also finds that women living in urban areas tend to challenge the existing patriarchal obligations, while rural women follow its principles. The paper enhances our understanding concerning the nexus between advertisements and gendered cultural practices.
Idiosyncratic Fermentation Behaviour of Rhodosporidium toruloides NCIM 3547 in Hemicellulose Hydrolysates derived from Neem Oilseed Cake for Lipid and β-carotene Synthesis
Authors: Bharathi Sundaram Deepika , Jacob Samuel 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Neem (Azadirachta indica) Oilseed Cake (NOC) is a by-product of neem seed oil production, acts as a potent second-generation lignocellulosic biomass was employed for integrated production of lipid and β-carotene using Rhodosporidium toruloides NCIM 3547. In this study, a hybrid pretreatment was adopted for the breakdown of lignin and hydrolysis of hemicellulosic compounds resulting in 61.61 (%, w/w) of delignification. The resultant hydrolysate contains both C5, C6 sugars and lignin-degradatory compounds out of which glucose (25.51±1.79 g/L), xylose (10.68±0.19 g/L), arabinose (15.52±0.28 g/L), acetic acid (1.66±0.02 g/L), furfural (126.98±1.41 mg/L) and HMF (259.74±2.89 mg/L). Further, it was subjected to fermentation using Rhodosporidium toruloides NCIM 3547 resulting in 42.53±0.85 (%, w/w) of lipid and β-carotene (60.88±0.39 mg/L; 24.35 μg/g DCW) paved the way for industrial applications. The intracellular lipid bodies were observed by Nile red-stained cells using fluorescent microscopy and its fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometer. Subsequently, the lipid was transesterified and the fatty acid profile was analysed using GC-MS to justify its potential for food and biodiesel production. This study reveals that NOC can be utilized for industrial product formation through fermentative strategy by formulating the utilization of lignin and hemicellulosic components towards a circular economy.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

The liquefaction potentials of coastal sands in the Lagos metropolis was investigated in this study using geotechnical and geophysical methods. The study aims to reveal the possible causes of failures in engineering structures around the coastal areas. To achieve this objective, the Seismic Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves, Cone Penetrometer Test and Standard Penetration Test were used to carry out measurements of soils parameters at three different sites, which were used to characterize the geological units in the areas. The results of the MASW measurements showed that the shear waves velocity (Vs) ranges from 160 and 470 m/s. The very loose to loose sand delineated had Vs in the range from 170–250 m/s. The tip resistance and sleeve resistance values spanned between 4.0–72.0 kg/cm2 and 6.0–94 kg/cm2 respectively. The depth of the liquefiable sands in the study area varied between 2.5 to 18.0 m. At Ikoyi, owing to the prevalence of loose silty sand, corroborated by borehole data and the LPI index, it is classified as having a high-risk liquefaction and could be responsible for the tremendous damages on structural infrastructures. The sediments mapped at Okun-Ajah and Badore sites were mainly saturated loose sand with high likelihood to liquefaction. Hence, the severity was classified as very-high to high risk. The study concludes that the presence of these sediments and other factors that could induce ground motion making the study sites potentially susceptible to liquefaction. Hence, an urgent attention must be given to early monitoring measures to address the trend.
