Resource Utilization for Healthy Aging in Kerala: A Mixed Methods Approach
Authors: Dev Gowtham , Thrivikraman Subhadra Kudukkasseri 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
An aging population is the most important medical as well as sociodemographic problem globally and countries have tried to address this problem by implementing various resources for healthy aging of society in general and an individual in particular in the form of various schemes and programs for the welfare of older persons. These resources are intended to provide a better quality of life for older persons.

Objectives:
The present study tried to comprehensively investigate the utilization of these resources by older people as well as the awareness about the availability of these resources and reasons toward poor utilization of such resources in Kerala.

Materials and Methods:
For this, a mixed method approach was employed involving a cross-sectional survey and qualitative inquiry, targeting 240 randomly selected participants across the state from randomly picked three different districts.

Results:
The key findings from the quantitative analysis were: Limited knowledge regarding the concept of Healthy Aging among respondents, moderate awareness of specific healthy aging resources, moderate utilization levels of resources, and a noteworthy 66.7% of participants expressing reluctance towards adopting suggested supportive resources for healthy aging. A significant association between socioeconomic status, residence, and awareness scores and a weak correlation between awareness and utilization scores were found out from the study. In the qualitative exploration, three principal themes emerged: Accessibility constraints, utilization patterns, and formulating an operational framework.

Conclusion:
This study underscores the need for tailored public awareness campaigns to foster resource utilization. The study challenges the practice of exclusively associating eligibility for resource access with socioeconomic class and disabilities. Ultimately, fostering healthy aging necessitates the active engagement and commitment of all stakeholders.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT.
This study was conducted to describe the working experiences, feelings, and thoughts of nurses working in the intensive care unit (ICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic from their perspective. Empirical phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative study methods, was used to obtain detailed descriptions of the experiences of nurses working in the ICU during the COVID-19 outbreak in providing patient care. The research design is an in-depth interview technique. The Colaizzi method was used in the analysis of the interviews. The data obtained from the research were categorized in six main themes. These themes are as follows: backbone of the health system—nursing, professional achievements, difficulties encountered, support needs and expectations, changes in emotions, and private life. In the process of fighting the pandemic, ICU nurses undertook important responsibilities, quickly adapted to the crisis, and displayed a strong stance, thus carrying a huge burden within the healthcare system.

ABSTRACT.
Frequent floods can contribute to the spread of various diseases and complications, some of which may result in diarrhea, especially among children. The current study aimed to find the determinants of diarrhea among children aged 1–6 years in flood-affected areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A cross-sectional study was conducted in flood-affected districts. Data regarding sociodemographic information related to diarrhea and anthropometric data were collected through a validated questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to find the determinants of diarrhea. In the presence of diarrhea, the prevalences found of stunting, wasting, and being underweight were 75.2%, 76.5%, and 74.1%, respectively, which is higher than those in children without diarrhea (stunting, 24.8%; wasting, 23.5%; and being underweight, 25.9%). In bivariate regression, children aged 2–4 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.65, P < 0.05), large family size (OR = 7.46, P < 0.01), low income (OR = 2.55, < 0.001), bathing in ponds (OR = 3.05, P < 0.05), drinking of untreated water (OR = 3, P < 0.05), flooding (OR = 1.8, P < 0.05), children living in mud houses (OR = 1.5, P < 0.05), and usage of utensils without lids (OR = 1.96, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with occurrence of diarrhea. In multivariate regression, the identified risk factors (P < 0.05) for diarrhea in flood-affected areas included illiterate mothers, flooding, large family size, households without livestock, poor water quality, untreated water, and lack of toilet facilities. In conclusion, addressing the determinants of diarrhea identified in this study is crucial for mitigating the impact of frequent floods on children in flood-affected areas. Moreover, the higher prevalence of malnutrition underscores the urgent need for comprehensive strategies and proper water, sanitation, and hygiene programs to reduce the occurrence and determinants of diarrhea.

Published: December 2023

На основании изучения геологических отчетов, научных публикаций и марш- рутных исследований определены районы распространения разновозрастных пегматитов на территории Северного Кавказа. Описаны их разновидности, связанные с породами кис- лого, основного, ультраосновного составов, происхождение которых обусловлено поздне- магматическими и постмагматическими метасоматическими процессами, протекавшими преимущественно в апикальных частях гранитных массивов и над их кровлей, а также в массивах габброидов и ультрабазитов.Описаны коллекционные минералы и поделочные камни, встречающиеся в связи с пегматитами. Приведено краткое описание их наиболее типичных представителей. Отмечено, что на Центральном Кавказе в структурно-форма- ционной зоне (СФЗ) Главного хребта в связи с позднепалеозойскими гранитами «S-типа» распространены пегматиты с повышенным содержанием бериллия, олова, вольфрама и мышьяка. На Западном Кавказе в СФЗ Передового хребта, в связи со среднепалеозойскими гранитами «адакитового» типа, в пегматитах распространены минералы с повышенным содержанием стронция.
Based on the study of geological reports, scientific publications and route studies, the distribution areas of uneven-aged pegmatites within the territory of the North Caucasus were determined.Their varieties are described associated with rocks of acidic, basic, ultrabasic compositions, the origin of which is due to late magmatic and postmagmatic metasomatic processes that occurred mainly in the apical parts of granite massifs and above their roof, as well as in massifs of gabbroids and ultrabasic rocks. Collectible minerals and ornamental stones found in connection with pegmatites aredescribed.A brief description of their most typical representatives is given.It is noted that in the Central Caucasus in the structural-formational zone (SFZ) of the Main Range, in connection with the Late Paleozoic "S-type" granites, pegmatites with a high content ofberyllium, tin, tungsten and arsenic are common. In the Western Caucasus, in the SFZ of the Front Range, in connection with the Middle Paleozoic granites of the "adakite" type, minerals with a high content of strontium are common in pegmatites.

P15 Uso del monitoreo continuo de glucosa en pacientes con diabetes asociada a fibrosis quística y con curva indeterminada de tolerancia a la glucosa. Resultados preliminares
Authors: Pomilio María Julieta , Guntsche Zelmira , Parra Luis 
Published: December 2023

Introducción: la diabetes relacionada con fibrosis quística (DRFQ) es la enfermedad asociada más frecuente en personas con FQ, relacionada con peor estado nutricional, enfermedad pulmonar inflamatoria grave y mayor mortalidad. La detección precoz y tratamiento de DRFQ mejoran el pronóstico general. El monitoreo continuo de glucosa tipo flash (MCG) ha sido validado en pacientes tratados con insulina, aunque no para diagnosticar diabetes.
Objetivos: evaluar las características clínicas y bioquímicas de una cohorte de pacientes FQ y analizar la utilidad del MCG para diagnóstico y control evolutivo de DRFQ.
Materiales y métodos: se presenta el corte transversal inicial de estudio longitudinal abierto desde 2018, que incluye 15 pacientes con FQ sin exacerbación infecciosa, mayores de 10 años, con o sin DRFQ (9 evaluados con MCG). Se obtuvieron: antropometría, espirometría, glucemia, PTOG, HbA1c y glucosa intersticial de 7 días. Se calcularon estadísticos con pruebas T y X2, correlación y regresión.
Resultados: se hallaron diferencias significativas entre pacientes con y sin DRFQ. Todos los pacientes con CTOG normales presentaron hipoglucemias en el monitoreo. Existe correlación negativa entre % de tiempo por encima de rango y función pulmonar al igual que con IMC, por el contrario, a mayor tiempo en rango mejor IMC.
Conclusiones: el MCG es un método útil para el control de pacientes DRFQ que permite optimizar el tratamiento insulínico y nutricional. Podría adelantar el diagnóstico de DRFQ, pero se requiere mayor tamaño muestral para establecerlo.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: As Infecções do Tratamento Urinário (ITU) são causadas pelo aumento de bactérias a partir da uretra, classificadas principalmente em cistite e pielonefrite segundo o sítio anatômico. São mais comuns em mulheres devido a anatomia geniturinária e em jovens por atividade sexual. Metodologia: Consiste em estudo transversal, descritivo, sobre internações e óbitos por cistite em Goiás entre 2015 e 2020. As variáveis analisadas foram sexo e faixa etária tabuladas pelo Microsoft Excel®, analisadas mediante o software RStudio. Para a análise estatística foram utilizados o teste do Qui-Quadrado de Pearson e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Resultados e Discussão: Analisou-se 7710 internações com desfecho óbito em 93 delas, com taxa geral de 120,62 óbitos para 10000 internações. O maior público de internação foram as mulheres, mas as taxas de óbitos foram significativamente maiores em homens (p=0,00) por causa de fatores complicadores. O pico das internações acontece entre 20 a 29 anos, com decréscimo de 43,17% na última faixa etária. Os óbitos começaram a ocorrer a partir de 40-49 anos, aumentando consideravelmente após os 80 anos, crescendo 1320,24%, pelas alterações fisiológicas do envelhecimento e acúmulo de morbidades. Foi observada uma variação média significativa entre 2015 a 2020 (14,29%), com maior variação positiva entre os anos de 2017 e 2018 (220,00%). Conclusão: Tornam-se relevantes pesquisas adicionais que investiguem possíveis morbidades ligadas a internações e óbitos por cistite, visto que é uma condição leve e tratada ambulatorialmente na maioria dos casos.
When Accessibility Becomes Performance
Authors: Tarantini Angela Tiziana 
Published: December 2023

Accessibility is a key concept in audiovisual translation. In recent years, the importance of equal access not only to information, services, and media, but also to the arts has been gaining more attention. Accessibility provisions for popular music, however, have not been as comprehensive as for other types of music. In order to facilitate access to music for deaf signers, a generation of interpreter-performers started to embody nonverbal elements of the “text,” such as rhythm, pitch, tempo, etc., when translating a song into sign language. This practice, which is a form of audiovisual translation, is gaining momentum and has been the object of analysis in other disciplines (e.g., Musicology or Deaf Studies), but is under-investigated within Translation and Interpreting Studies. Working from studies in signed songs, from the work of Grant, and from Marinetti’s notion of translation as “performative rewriting”, I aim to show that performativity, intended as an action related to performance, but also with transformative potential, can become an element and a carrier of accessibility, and is at the core of these interpreting practices. The distinction between accessibility and access, however, must also be taken into account, and whether these practices actually facilitate access remains to be established by the deaf community.
Lay summary
Nowadays service providers pay more attention to the notion of accessibility and access, and not only to information and services, but also to the arts. More and more sign language interpreters translate songs and live concert in sign language to facilitate access for deaf people. They translate the lyrics of songs but also embody other elements of music in their interpretation, thus making music a visual form of performing art. Notions such as accessibility and access, however, are far from uncontroversial. Accessibility Studies scholar Greco has clarified the difference between the two. In this article I argue that performativity is an element and a carrier of accessibility. The idea of performativity is further elaborated working from Performance Philosophy, rather than Performance Theory. I further argue that, while sign-language-interpreted music is an accessibility provision, only deaf people can establish whether it actually facilitates access to music.

Published: December 2023

Em que pese à escravidão ter sido abolida no ano de 1888 no Brasil, na contemporaneidade ela ainda se mostra viva, mesmo que se apresente de forma diferente, continua a causar danos irreparáveis às suas vítimas. Assim, o presente artigo tem como finalidade discorrer acerca da escravidão moderna no Brasil, com o objetivo de analisar se os dispositivos legais previstos pela legislação brasileira, com intuito de coibir a prática de reduzir alguém à condição análoga a de escravo, de fato estão sendo eficazes e se estão de alguma forma erradicando a conduta. Outrossim, serão abordadas as formas em que o referido delito é cometido, além de situações que contribuem para a prática criminosa e os fatores que facilitam a atuação dos agentes infratores. Para tanto, insta questionar se as leis incriminadoras são suficientes para amparar o trabalhador submetido à condição análoga à escravidão e punir os agentes que cometem tal conduta. Sendo assim, para responder tal problema, a pesquisa utilizou de pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica com método dedutivo e com abordagem descritiva e explicativa, de forma a apontar resultados claros, demonstrando a eficácia do Sistema Judiciário Brasileiro perante o delito, bem como as principais causas que acarretam a inimputabilidade dos agentes criminosos e como as autoridades competentes podem atuar para reverter essa deplorável situação.
On β*-supra topological spaces

Published: December 2023

In this paper, a new type of supra closed sets is introduced which we called supra β*-closed sets in a supra topological space. A new set of separation axioms is defined, and its many properties are examined. The relationships between supra β*-Ti –spaces (i = 0, 1, 2) are studied and shown with instances. Additionally, new varieties of supra β*-continuous maps have been taken into consideration based on the supra β*-open sets theory.
