Abstract

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children, often leading to renal damage if not promptly treated. Understanding the changing epidemiology, causative agents, and antibiotic resistance patterns is crucial for effective management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. 100 children aged 1 month to 18 years diagnosed with UTI based on symptoms, pyuria, and bacteriuria were enrolled. Data on demographics, clinical features, and antibiotic use were collected. Urine samples were cultured, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed. Results: Infants (<1 year) showed a higher male prevalence (69.6%) compared to females (30.4%). Fever was the most common symptom (92%). Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the predominant pathogen (69%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (10%) and Enterobacter spp. (6%). Antibiotic resistance was observed, with 20% sensitive to 4 or fewer antibiotics and 27% sensitive to 9-12 antibiotics. Prior urinary instrumentation, past UTI history, and recent antibiotic use were identified as risk factors for resistance. ESBL-producing organisms showed significant resistance to cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin compared to non-ESBL organisms. Conclusions: UTIs in children show age-specific gender variations and evolving bacterial profiles. E. coli remains the dominant pathogen, but resistance is rising. Prior interventions, past UTIs, and recent antibiotic use are associated with resistance. ESBL-producing organisms pose a particular challenge. These findings highlight the need for judicious antibiotic use and tailored management strategies based on age, bacterial profile, and resistance patterns.

Published: January 2024

Purpose. The purpose of the research paper is determining the effect of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the agricultural enterprises performance in Ukraine by studying the dependence of the performance of agricultural enterprises on the activity of their digital solutions implementation.
Methodology / approach. The effect of ICTs on the performance of agricultural enterprises is studied using the methods of average and relative values, dynamic analysis – in determining the trends in the development of enterprises of the ICT segment and the activity of implementation of digital solutions by agricultural enterprises in their practice; correlation analysis – in studying the dependence of the performance of agricultural enterprises on the activity of digital solutions implementation.
Results. The dependence of the performance of agricultural enterprises on the activity of their implementation of digital solutions is determined. A direct link between the volume of activities of enterprises operating in the ICT segment and the investments of agricultural enterprises in software is established. It has been determined that the activity of agricultural enterprises in terms of investments in software has a positive effect on their activities results, causing an increase in the volume of sold products, added value and labour productivity. A direct but weak effect of software investments on the cost efficiency of current and environmental activities has been diagnosed. A feedback relationship has been established between the investments made by agricultural enterprises in the acquisition of software and the profitability of their operating activities, which is increasing with taking into account the time lag.
Originality / scientific novelty. The article provides empirical evidence of the dependence of agricultural enterprises activity indices on ICT segment enterprises development. The dependence of the results of agricultural enterprises activity on the activity of their digital solutions implementation was investigated with and without taking into account the time lag. The scientific and methodological foundations for assessing the impact of ICT on the performance of enterprises have been improved, in particular by allocating indicators for this assessment by stages of research.
Practical value / significance. The results of the study can be used in the decision-making process regarding the digital transformation of agricultural enterprises through the implementation of ICT.

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to substantiate the technological solution of equilibrium conditions in the system “methane – water phase – hydrate – R-2M”; to reveal existing ecological problems of methane gas hydrate extraction from the Black Sea bottom; to determine whether gas hydrate deposits of Black Sea methane are an ecological problem or should be considered as an energy source, to explain the necessity of introduction of the effect of forced self-preservation of methane gas hydrates into development of gas hydrates from the sea bottom.
Results. This article analyses current research on gas hydrates specifically in the Black Sea. It shows that the necessary conditions exist for the accumulation of gas hydrates in certain areas of the deep Black Sea (one of the most favourable regions among modern sea basins). This article discusses some ideas for the development of experimental studies of the metastable state of methane gas hydrates at negative temperatures: stability and mechanisms of decomposition. Despite the great variety of technological solutions and schemes of gas hydrates application proposed by the leading researchers in the world, they have been tested practically on a small number of laboratory and model installations, mainly for water desalination and concentration of water solutions, separation of two-component gas mixtures. In fact, there is no data to calculate the processes of formation and melting of ice-gas hydrate methane. The effect of self-preservation of methane gas hydrates deserves special attention.
Scientific novelty. An attempt was made to substantiate the issue of whether gas hydrate deposits of methane in the Black Sea are an environmental problem or should they be considered as an additional source of energy and even as a “fuel of the future”. The authors for the first time introduced the concept of “forced preservation (activation) effect of methane gas hydrates”, which makes it possible to stabilize methane hydrate decomposition when the system is transferred from the area of hydrate stability to the area of thermodynamic parameters, thus significantly reducing the environmental problems of the Black Sea.
Practical value. This article offers a technological solution for stabilization of equilibrium conditions by hydrophobic material “Ramsinks-2M” in the system “methane-water phase-hydrate-R-2M” to regulate the self-preservation effect of methane gas hydrates

Published: January 2024

Purpose. Land use within a watershed affects surface water quality by creating a process by which diffuse pollutants such as suspended solids, trace metals, and nutrients enter rivers and streams. The purpose of this study is to assess pollution-load for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and some trace metals in runoff samples collected during storm events in selected sub-catchment locations representing different land use areas in an urban watershed; and to determine the effects of land-use on the content of pollutants in stormwater using Event Mean Concentration (EMC).
Results. There were high EMC and Site Mean Concentrations (SMC) of TSS in stormwater in the six land-use zones examined, with values ranging from 154.0 mg L−1 to 1464.0 mg L−1; and 216.5 mg L−1 to 1153.4 mg L−1 for EMC and SMC respectively. The total content of suspended solids was significantly high, above the acceptable threshold of 100.0 mg L−1 stipulated by the WHO. The researchers also found a statistically significant variation in TSS loading of stormwater from the commercial land-use areas compared with the other land-use zones. A strong correlation was also observed between the volume of stormwater discharged and the TSS load. However, the concentrations of trace metals in stormwater were low across the land use zones. The commercial districts of the studied cities were found to be major sources of suspended solids in stormwater, and pollution of the urban watersheds leading to the deterioration of the rivers.
Scientific novelty. This study attempted to qauntify TSS load in stormwater and determine the contributions of the diffferent urban land-use areas to pollution yield.. It contributes to scientific efforts to directly quantify surface water pollution from nonpoint sources, since little attention has been paid to diffuse pollution, especially in sub-Saharan Africa; and provides baseline data for assessing urban stormwater in low-income countries.
Practical value. This study offers guidelines for city authorities to develop land use policies to control surface water pollution and urban waste. The findings may also serve as emperical basis for greater advocacy by civil society organizations for the proper management and control of urban rivers and streams for public health benefits.

Academic Performance and Internet Gaming Disorder: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Fatima Ambreen , Amin Rizwana 
Published: January 2024

In recent years, Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has become a global issue as people have gotten overly enthusiastic about playing excessive internet games. Adolescents who play excessively on the internet develop IGD, which impacts their academic performance. In the present study, a comparative research design has opted to explore the impact of IGD across gender, academic performance, and adolescence. A total of 357 adolescents (males = 220, females = 137) from various private schools and colleges of Rawalpindi and Islamabad were selected to obtain data on Internet Gaming Disorder Scale 9- Short Form (IGDS9-SF). The results of one-way ANOVA showed a significant main effect of IGD across gender (males & females). They indicated the evidence of the significance of the main effect for the assessment of IGD with F (1,355) = 11.36, p=.001. The results of two-way mixed factorial ANCOVA showed that there is a significant main effect for IGD across Academic Performance Groups (A, B, C, D & F grades). They indicated the evidence of the significance of the main effect for the assessment of IGD with (F (4,352) = [9.806], p<.001). Further results of two-way mixed factorial ANCOVA showed that there is a significant main effect for IGD across Groups (early & late adolescence). They indicated the evidence of the significance of the main effect for the assessment of IGD with F (1,355) = 6.594, p= .011. These findings may aid in the development of a policy for the efficient use of the Internet, as well as the development of awareness programs to educate parents about the harmful use of Internet games, as well as the identification and formulation of intervention plans for adolescents suffering from IGD symptoms and performing poorly in school.

The study investigated the soy curd residue and full-fat soy flour as potential protein-based food ingredients. Standard protocols were used to determine proximate parameters, functional properties, markers of oxidative stability under shelf storage, colour (CIE L* a* b*), and microbial quality of the flours. Commercial Afayak soybean varieties were used to prepare soy curd residue flour and two differently treated soy flours, namely full-fat soy flour and cold-water extracted full-fat soy flour. Findings from the study indicate that processing treatment and storage time significantly (p<0.001) affected the parameters measured. Cold-water extraction of full-fat soy flour resulted in a significantly (p<0.001) higher protein content denoting 1.0, and 1.2-fold than full-fat soy flour and soy curd residue, respectively. Full-fat soy flour showed the highest peroxide, acid, and p-anisidine (p < 0.001) under processing and storage conditions. Soy curd residue was the most oxidatively stable among the samples; however, it was noted that cold-water extraction of full-fat soy had better oxidative stability than full-fat Soy flour. After 12 weeks of storage, peroxide and acid values were below the acceptable limit of 10 mEq/Kg and 0.6 mg/KOH/g, respectively. The study supports the hypothesis that the proximate composition, physicochemical properties, and oxidative stability of soy-based flours are affected by the sample processing method and storage time. The study concludes that the samples characterized in this study are oxidatively stable, protein and energy-rich and may be ideal ingredients for food product development with desirable functional properties.

Introduction: Stunting is a condition where a child experiences growth disorders, so that the child's height and weight do not match his age. This is caused by a lack of nutritional intake for a long time. Indonesia is a country with multiple nutritional problems, characterized by a high prevalence of stunting and anemia in pregnant women.
Objective: The aim here is that it is hoped that stunting cases that exist, especially in the Buana Mekar Village area, can be prevented. In this way, children can grow and develop well so that an intelligent and healthy young generation is created.
Method: The community service method is carried out through counseling and discussions with female cadres at the Buana Mekar Village Hall, Ciamis Regency.
Result: Based on counseling activities, it can be concluded that 16 people (40%) of the participants were able to answer questions before the implementation of health education, before the material was delivered, there were 24 people (60%) who did not answer questions. And after the presentation was delivered, the participants' knowledge increased 100%. So it can be concluded that the participants present quite understand the material presented.
Conclusion: The conclusion of the implementation of health counseling activities regarding the handling of stunting went well in accordance with what was expected and planned. This health education is effective and has positive values for the counseling participants. This can be seen from the enthusiasm and activeness of these health education participants and the increasing knowledge about handling resistance to stunting before and after education is given.

Published: January 2024

Background and purpose: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a public health issue that can be prevented by immunization programs. Indonesia began the JE immunization campaign in Bali through simultaneous immunization for children aged 9 months to 15 years. Although information dissemination has been carried out, knowledge, perceptions and characteristics of mother and child can influence the acceptance and uptake of immunization for children. This study aims to determine the factors that influence acceptance of JE mass immunization in Bali Province.
Methods: Secondary data analysis was performed on the results of the JE Supplementary Immunization Activities (SIA) Udayana University survey which consisted of 1,284 mothers and 2,107 children. The survey was conducted from June-August 2018 in nine districts/cities in Bali Province. The association between knowledge, perception and respondents’ characteristics with acceptance of JE mass immunization was analyzed with chi square test and multivariate analysis was conducted using logistic regression.
Results: The proportion of children who received immunization was 93.9% (95%CI: 92.8-94.9). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant association between acceptance of JE mass immunization with the child’s age, sex, educational status, complete basic immunization history, mother’s perception of severity, benefits, barriers, knowledge and sources of information (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis shows that the variables which significantly increase JE mass immunization acceptance are information from a combination of media and face to face education (AOR=3.95; 95%CI: 2.01-7.77), schooling children (AOR=2.43; 95%CI: 1.23-4.79), living outside of Denpasar City (AOR=2.32; 95%CI: 1.49-3.62), children who have received complete basic immunization (AOR=2.22; 95%CI: 1.42-3.49), face to face information only (AOR=2.11; 95%CI: 1.21-3.70) and girls (AOR=1.68; 95%CI: 1.15-2.46).
Conclusion: Information disseminated via a combination of media and face to face is the strongest variable influencing JE mass immunization acceptance. Providing appropriate information through a combination of media and face to face education by health or non-health workers needs to be considered.
Synergizing early detection and comprehensive mandatory notification to improve Tuberculosis case finding through public private mix

Published: January 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a priority health problem in Indonesia. Incidence rate estimation for TB in 2020 was 301 per 100,000 population or 824,000 new cases per year which is the third highest worldwide. The Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic has caused decreasing performance of TB control program globally, including Indonesia. The treatment coverage was declined from 67% in 2019 to 48% in 2020 and 54% in 2021, far behind the 80% target. This fact signifies that around a half of people with TB in Indonesia are overlooked, which is estimated to be accounted for over 400,000 cases. Another TB Program’s main indicator, treatment success rate at 86%, remains below the target of 90%. Low achievement of the two main indicators may result in the increasing of TB transmission, morbidity and mortality in population. Besides, Indonesia also faces the triple burden of TB, high prevalence of drug resistance TB and coinfection of TB and HIV
