Cross-Cultural Sense-Making of Global Health Crises: A Text Mining Study of Public Opinions on Social Media Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Developed and Developing Economies
Authors: Kahlawi Adham , Masri Firas , Ahmed Wasim , Vidal-Alaball Josep 
Published: January 2025

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped social dynamics, fostering reliance on social media for information, connection, and collective sense-making. Understanding how citizens navigate a global health crisis in varying cultural and economic contexts is crucial for effective crisis communication.

Objective
This study examines the evolution of citizen collective sense-making during the COVID-19 pandemic by analyzing social media discourse across Italy, the United Kingdom, and Egypt, representing diverse economic and cultural contexts.

Methods
A total of 755,215 social media posts from X (formerly Twitter) were collected across 3 time periods: the virus' emergence (February 15 to March 31, 2020), strict lockdown (April 1 to May 30, 2020), and the vaccine rollout (December 1, 2020 to January 15, 2021). In total, 284,512 posts from Italy, 261,978 posts from the United Kingdom, and 209,725 posts from Egypt were analyzed using the latent Dirichlet allocation algorithm to identify key thematic topics and track shifts in discourse across time and regions.

Results
The analysis revealed significant regional and temporal differences in collective sense-making during the pandemic. In Italy and the United Kingdom, public discourse prominently addressed pragmatic health care measures and government interventions, reflecting higher institutional trust. By contrast, discussions in Egypt were more focused on religious and political themes, highlighting skepticism toward governmental capacity and reliance on alternative frameworks for understanding the crisis. Over time, all 3 countries displayed a shift in discourse toward vaccine-related topics during the later phase of the pandemic, highlighting its global significance. Misinformation emerged as a recurrent theme across regions, demonstrating the need for proactive measures to ensure accurate information dissemination. These findings emphasize the role of cultural, economic, and institutional factors in shaping public responses during health crises.

Conclusions
Crisis communication is influenced by cultural, economic, and institutional contexts, as evidenced by regional variations in citizen engagement. Transparent and culturally adaptive communication strategies are essential to combat misinformation and build public trust. This study highlights the importance of tailoring crisis responses to local contexts to improve compliance and collective resilience.

Authors: Kamarudin Siti Sabrina , Idris Idayu Badilla , Sharip Shalisah , Ahmad Norfazilah 
Published: January 2025

Background
Postpartum depression remains a significant concern, posing substantial challenges to maternal well-being, infant health, and the mother-infant bond, particularly in the face of barriers to traditional support and interventions. Previous studies have shown that mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer an accessible means to facilitate early detection and management of mental health issues while at the same time promoting preventive care.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Leveraging on Virtual Engagement for Maternal Understanding & Mood-enhancement (LoVE4MUM) mobile app, which was developed based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducation and serves as an intervention to prevent postpartum depression.

Methods
This single-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial includes 64 mothers recruited from the postnatal ward and randomized using a 1:1 ratio to receive either postpartum care (treatment as usual) or postpartum care (treatment as usual) plus the self-guided LoVE4MUM mobile app. The primary outcome is the effectiveness of the mobile app at improving postpartum depression. Secondary outcomes are changes in the mental health literacy score and negative automatic thoughts, which are collected using a self-reported questionnaire.

Results
Patient recruitment began on September 1, 2024. As of January 1, 2025, recruitment was successfully completed, with a total of 72 participants enrolled: 36 in the intervention group and 36 in the control group . The final results are anticipated to be available by March 2025, and publication is expected by the end of 2025.

Conclusions
By examining the LoVE4MUM app alongside standard postpartum care, this pilot randomized controlled trial seeks to offer preliminary evidence on the potential of mHealth tools to improve maternal mental health as well as to reduce postpartum depression symptoms. The findings are expected to contribute to the future development of effective, accessible, and scalable interventions for mothers.

Dimensional Analysis in Chemistry Textbooks 1900-2020 and an Algebraic Alternative
Authors: García García José Luís 
Published: January 2025

The chapter on units and measurements is practically indispensable in modern chemistry textbooks, and within it, the factor-label method has become synonymous with dimensional analysis. In this paper, we aim to investigate whether this necessity has been consistent throughout the history of general chemistry textbooks. We will also demonstrate that equating the concept of dimensional analysis with the factor-label technique is incorrect, as an algebraic alternative exists. To determine the relationship of the units and measurements chapter with the textbook, we examined 140 books from the 1900s to the present day, finding that this chapter and its algorithms were gradually introduced during the transition from the 1950s to the 1970s, accompanied by other fundamental changes in the texts. Additionally, we present an alternative to the factor-label method, called algebraic substitution, which offers a greater diversity of techniques to expedite specific calculations. However, mastering all these techniques requires time and skill. This shows that the factor-label method is not the only option for performing dimensional analysis. Therefore, we must not confuse a technique or algorithm with the underlying philosophical foundation of dimensional analysis.
Patient-reported long-term sexual morbidity in prostate cancer survivors treated with external beam radiation therapy alone or combined with high-dose-rate brachytherapy
Authors: Wedde Trude B. , Hagen Milada S. , M. Vatne Kari , Nilsen Line B. , Hellebust Taran P. , Lilleby Wolfgang 
Published: January 2025

Background: Prostate cancer can be treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone or combined with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT+), usually with additional hormonal treatment (HT).
The aim of this long-term cross-sectional study was to compare patient-reported sexual function, hormonal symptoms and quality of life (QoL) after EBRT-only or HDR-BT+.
Methods: In 2016, minimum 5 years after treatment, men treated with HDR-BT+ (n = 248) or EBRT-only (n = 91) responded to a questionnaire containing the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)-26 and the Short Form-12 (SF-12).
Results: Median age at time of answering the questionnaire was 74 years (range 54–86). The majority in the HDR-BT+ group received HT for ≥ 2 years compared to 1/3rd in the EBRT-only group. In crude analyses, the sexual domain summary score (DSS) was significantly higher in the HDR-BT+ compared to the EBRT-only group (32.3 vs. 24.1). All sexual items were significantly better in the HDR-BT+ group except sexual problem. Significantly less fatigue was seen in the HDR-BT+ group despite longer duration of HT. Physical and mental health were similar in both groups.
When adjusted for possible confounders, the differences between treatment groups were no longer statistically significant. Only age was significantly associated with lower sexual scores. Low hormonal DSS was significantly associated with decreased QoL.
Conclusion: Patients treated with HDR-BT+ had not worse long-term sexual function than men treated with EBRT-only. However, this difference disappeared when adjusted for possible confounders. Thus, the interplay of age, HT and fatigue indicates a strong impact on both QoL and sexual function.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study delves into the integration of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) nanorods into orientated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats, a topic of considerable interest in applications such as water treatment and environmental remediation. Focussing on the modification of PAN nanofibers, the research investigates the impact of varying concentrations (1 %, 3 % and 5 %) of Fe2O3 nanorods on the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanofiber mats. Mechanical strength was evaluated by tensile testing, while thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate a notable improvement in the mechanical strength of the nanofiber mats, with an increase of up to 24 % observed at the highest nanorod concentration of 5 %. However, the thermal stability of the mats showed a decrease of approximately 12 % as per the TGA results. This research provides new insights into the effect of Fe2O3 nanorod reinforcement on PAN nanofibers, highlighting the trade-offs between mechanical enhancement and thermal stability.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Introduction: Malignant cutaneous adnexal tumours (MATS) are rare, heterogeneous tumours of variable malignancy that originate from hair follicles, sebaceous glands, eccrine, or apocrine sweat glands. Surgical excision with clear margins is the gold standard for treating MATS. Incomplete excision increases the risk of local recurrence, subclinical tumour progression, and metastasis. Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the clinicopathological risk factors and dermatoscopic features associated with incomplete excision of MATS. Material and methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study by evaluating patients’ data diagnosed with MATS who underwent primary surgical excision during January 2020 - December 2022. We assessed the clinical, dermatoscopic, and histopathological features of the tumours, and the demographic characteristics of the patients. Pertaining to the margin of the surgical resection we divided the cases into two groups: we considered the surgical margins positive if there were tumour infiltrations, or located tumour cells less than 1 mm from the resection margins; otherwise, we considered the surgical margins negative. We used Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism 9.0 to perform statistical analyses. Results: During the three-year period, a total of 17 patients who underwent surgical resection of MATS were included in the study. Incomplete excision occurred in 9 cases (52.9%). All cases included in the study were located in the head and neck area. The periocular region was the most common location (33.3%), followed by the nasal and hemifacial areas in equal proportions (22.2%). During dermatoscopic examination, tumours with incomplete resection margins were mainly characterized by uniform or clustered polymorphous vessel morphologies. We found a significant correlation between incomplete resection and microcystic adnexal type carcinoma (p=0.025). We did not find any statistically significant correlation between incomplete excision and gender, age, tumour size, thickness/invasion, and localization. Conclusion: The therapy of choice for locally aggressive MATS is complete tumour control with resection, especially in the high-risk “H” zone of the head and neck area. If this is not feasible, excision with the extension of the safety margins is recommended.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Introduction: Birth is a complex process involving a series of physiological changes while the infant’s transition takes place from intrauterine to extrauterine life. Multiple births are associated with increased risks and often require additional support in the delivery room leading to a higher percentage of neonatal complications. Aim: To compare the need for special assistance and resuscitation procedures in the delivery room between multiple and single births and to investigate the correlation between umbilical cord blood gas analysis and these interventions. Method: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of neonates born between January 2019 and May 2021 at the Emergency County Hospital, Targu Mures who required intensive care. Exclusion criteria included newborns transferred from other facilities, lack of umbilical cord blood gas analysis and missing parental consent. Patients were divided into two groups based on multiple or single births. We analyzed maternal, fetal and perinatal factors as well as delivery room management and umbilical cord blood gas. Perinatal risk factors in vitro fertilization, premature birth, low birth weight, maternal anemia and maternal coagulopathy were significantly higher in the multiple birth group. Results: Of the 107 neonates 56% were from multiple gestations and 43% from single pregnancies. The mean gestational age was 35.6 ± 3.7 weeks and the mean birth weight was 2682 ± 908.1 g. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the overall need for additional assistance in the delivery room or any of the steps of resuscitation (p=2.99). The only parameter from the blood gas analysis that showed a weak association with the multiple birth group was the pH value (p=0.057). Discussion/Conclusions: Although neonates from multiple pregnancies are at a higher risk for premature birth and lower birth weight, our study found that they did not require more advanced assistance in the delivery room compared to those of single births. Lower Apgar scores at 1 minute and 5 minutes were associated with multiple births. Short term outcomes and duration of hospitalization were similar between the groups.

Published: January 2025

The object of the study is the process of formation of the educational system in the Central Asian territories of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The subject of the study is a reflection of the process of formation of the educational system of Central Asia in Russian journalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article highlights the attitude of Russian publications of the post-reform modernization era to the educational policy pursued by the imperial administration in the territories of Central Asia. The differences between conservative, liberal and democratic views on the goals and methods of the education system being created in the Muslim environment are noted. The article highlights the attitude of publicists to the ambiguous perception of the traditional local school by the Russian administration. Particular attention is paid to the criticism of inconsistency and fluctuations in government policy in the field of education. The constructive proposals of publicists aimed at ensuring the synthesis of some aspects of traditional and Russian educational institutions, contributing to the acculturation of the local population and the gradual integration of the region into the Empire, are revealed. The work used the historical and genetic method, which make possible to trace the development of the educational policy of Russia in the Central Asia on the pages of domestic publications; comparative, which allows to establish the general and special in its perception by publicists; the principle of historicism, revealing their attitude to the educational policy of the authorities in the historical context of the epoch of the early twentieth century. The problem of reflecting the educational policy of Russia in Central Asia in periodicals of that time has not been the subject of special analysis. Conservative authors advocated a policy of religious tolerance, the spread of the Russian school and the inclusion of the younger generation of the local population in its educational process. The main task of educational policy in the region for liberals for a long time has been to reduce the level of Muslim fanaticism, to introduce civilization through the development of education, to reform Russian-native schools, madrassas and mektebe, to provide cultural autonomy to the population of the region, the need for a synthesis of secular and national schools. Populist publications suggested using a public resource in the creation and development of a local school. Representatives of all directions agreed that only with the help of education and the dissemination of European values is it possible to overcome the cultural isolation of the region, national and religious extremism, undermining the foundations of its integration with Russia.
Interrogating the Rationale behind the Deportation of Missionaries from Rhodesia: A Case of Colonial Paranoia (1964–1979)
Authors: Gundani Paul Henry 
Published: January 2025

The study focuses on the complex interplay between colonial powers, religious actors, and the struggle for social justice and racial equality in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) under the government of Ian Douglas Smith (1964-79). The study uses a postcolonial lens to explore the influence, motivation, and responses of colonial administrators towards missionary actors towards African nationalism and African political struggles. This historical narrative shapes church interactions in politics and economics in view of missionary advocacy and the legacy of African nationalism and its transition beyond that time. This fulfils the study objective, which is to investigate the contribution and impact of the targeted missionaries in creating a just, multi-racial and democratic Zimbabwe. The study examines five prominent missionaries who were targeted by the colonial government and deported out of Rhodesia. They include Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge (1907–2008) and Arthur Guy Clutton-Brock (1906–1995). Fr Michael Traber (SMB) (1929–2006), Sr. Janice McLaughlin (1941–2020), and Bishop Donal Raymond Lamont (O. Carm) (1911–2003). This study showcases the impact of missionaries on Zimbabwe’s ecclesiastical historiography.
Crystalloids versus hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy for isolated traumatic brain injury: A prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Hemachandiran R. , Jangra Kiran , Barik Amiya Kumar , Kaur Kirandeep , Kumar Ashok , Panda Nidhi Bidyut , Gendle Chandrashekhar , Samra Tanvir 
Published: January 2025

Objectives:
The use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) during neurosurgical patients is debatable. Previous literature suggests that HES interferes with coagulation parameters and kidney function tests. However, most of the evidence was extrapolated from studies including critically sick intensive care unit patients. Thus, we planned to compare crystalloids and HES for coagulation parameters in isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy.

Materials and Methods:
The prospective randomized controlled trial included the American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II adult patients (18– 65 years) with isolated TBI posted for decompressive craniectomy. Patients were randomized equally into two groups (Group Cs and Group Co). Group Cs received crystalloids (PlasmaLyte-A, Beiffe Medital S.A, Huesca, Spain) and Group Co received a combination of crystalloids (PlasmaLyte-A) and colloids (HES 6% 130/0.4, Voluven®, Fresenius Kabi Ind Pvt. Limited). Coagulation parameters using sonoclot, intraoperative hemodynamics, brain relaxation score (BRS), blood loss, serum lactate, electrolytes, total intravenous fluids used, post-operative kidney function, and modified Rankin score (mRS) were compared in two groups. The continuous data were presented as mean ± Standard deviation, and categorical data as frequency (percentage). Inferential statistics such as the Chi-square test/Fischer Exact test and independent t-test were applied to compare the two groups.

Results:
A total of 60 patients were analyzed with 30 patients in each group. Sonoclot parameters were comparable in the two groups at baseline and the end of surgery. There were no differences in BRS, electrolytes, serum lactate, blood loss, urine output, use of vasopressors, post-operative parameters including urea, creatinine, and median mRS between the groups.

Conclusion:
We conclude that HES (130/0.4) may be safely given intraoperatively in limited dosages in isolated head injury patients as it does not affect coagulation parameters. Other intraoperative variables including hemodynamics, BRS, total blood loss, the total volume of fluids used, serum electrolytes, and serum lactate, urine output, and mRS were comparable between the groups. Short-term use of modern colloids was not associated with post-operative renal dysfunction.
