Background: The COVID-19 outbreak, and related public health initiatives have disrupted the lives of many people worldwide. Evidently, the COVID-19 pandemic has produced detrimental social and psychological impact on the mental health of the vast populations especially the elderly. . This study sought to assess the knowledge resources and mental health needs of the elderly emerging from COVID-19 Pandemic of the elderly population at Babcock University in Southwest Nigeria.
Methods: A total of 196 consenting elders resident at Babcock University were enrolled in an online survey at Babcock University to assess the mental health needs of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hypotheses were tested using bivariate analysis at 0.05 level of significance.
Results: Majority [104 (58.4%)] of the elderly respondents are between the age bracket 60-64 and [51 (28.7%)] for the age bracket 65-74 years old. The respondents' top four needs during the pandemic are financial aid [108 (60.7%)], social support [41 (23.0%)], the presence of a caregiver [24 (13.5%)], and housing [5 (2.8%)]. The respondents' social condition might be summarized as follows: minimal social interaction with others, leaving them socially isolated [61 (34.3%)] and insufficient social contact with others [53 (29.8%)]. There was a significant relationship between knowledge and emotional state during the pandemic (p <0.05).
Conclusion/Recommendation: Given the respondents' emotional state and other mental health problems that come with age, this study has supplied information about potential services that the elderly may find valuable. Government organizations and other partners should design planned interventions for the elderly throughout this period of life.
Perspective Chapter: Clinical Standard of a Geriatric Patient as a Virtual Target for Correction of Pharmacotherapy of Hypertension and Stroke in the Elderly
Authors: Urakov Aleksandr , Samorodov Aleksandr , Sokolova Varvara 
Published: March 2023

One of the unresolved geriatric problems in neuropharmacology remains the lack of specifically designed drugs and therapeutic and preventive measures for older adults with hypertension and/or stroke. In particular, there are no standards for virtual geriatric patients aged 65–70 years, 70–90 years, and over 90 years, as well as courses of pharmacotherapy for diseases in them. The fact is that modern drugs and standards of their use in the treatment of diseases are still traditionally focused on a virtual object, which represents a person of mature age weighing about 70 kg. Therefore, it is proposed to develop clinical standards appropriate for three groups of geriatric patients. The main characteristics of health status, hypertension and rehabilitation of elderly people after a stroke, as well as the peculiarities of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs are given. It is hoped that the use of such virtual targets will optimize the adjustment of treatment of hypertension and stroke in elderly people and will reduce drug complications and polypragmasy.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ОСНОВИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПОЛІТИКИ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ РІВНИХ ПРАВ ТА МОЖЛИВОСТЕЙ ЖІНОК І ЧОЛОВІКІВ У ВІЙСЬКОВИХ ФОРМУВАННЯХ

У статті за результатами проведеного дослідження визначено теоретичні основи реалізації політики забезпечення рівних прав та можливостей жінок і чоловіків у військових формуваннях. З’ясовано, що основними показниками комплектування посад військовослужбовців жінками є «відношення грошового забезпечення військовослужбовця-контрактника до середньої заробітної плати» та «рівень безробіття» (за умови значення показника понад 6 %). Вагомим також є порівняння значень цих показників за державою (регіоном) жіночого та чоловічого населення. Виявлено, що у вивченні досвіду реалізації політики забезпечення рівних прав та можливостей жінок і чоловіків у військових формуваннях варто враховувати схожість економічних умов держав за значеннями основних показників комплектування посад військовослужбовців жінками, використовуючи метод порівняльної статистики. Враховуючи зовнішньополітичний стратегічний курс України на набуття членства в НАТО, насамперед доцільно вивчати означений досвід країн Італії та Хорватії.

Published: March 2023

Objective: Vitamin D plays a very important role in improving oral and dental health as well as general health. The present study aims to evaluate the risk of caries development risk of children with and without vitamin D deficiency using the Cariogram model.
Methods: This study included a total of 75 healthy children aged 6-12 years, of which 50 (35 girls and 15 boys) had different levels of vitamin D deficiency, and 25 (12 girls and 13 boys) had none. Their risk of developing new dental caries was assessed with Cariogram. SPSS v21.0 (IBM, USA) was used for analyzing the study data. In the statistical tests, a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Mean chronological and dental ages of the participants were obtained as 9±2.32 and 8±2.36, respectively. The distribution of salivary flow rate, buffering capacities, and distributions of Lactobacilli and S. mutans counts between the groups were found to be similar. There was a significant difference between Group I and Group II and between Group I and Group III in regard to the Cariogram green percentage (percentage of chances to avoid caries), p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively.
Conclusion: In the present study, we observed a decrease in the Cariogram green sector percentage with low levels of vitamin D and an increase with normal vitamin D levels. Therefore, chances to avoid new dental caries were increased in sufficient levels of vitamin D.

Liv Merete Nielsen disputerte i år 2000, med avhandlingen Drawing and spatial representations. Det var trangt i salen, i de gamle lokalene til AHO, ved St. Olavs plass. Disputasen var historisk. Da doktorgradsprogrammet ved Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo (AHO) i 1995 la til rette for å inkludere designdidaktikere, fikk også denne profesjonsgrenen innen ‘the making professions’ mulighet til å forske i eget fagfelt. Liv Merete var den første som disputerte, med eksplisitt fagdidaktisk tematikk. Vi visste det ikke da – men dette var den første disputasen i en rekke av flere, med designdidaktisk forankring. For flere av tilhørerne ble denne begivenheten en inspirasjon for videre forskningskarriere, men også for undervisning i fagdidaktikk, på BA-, MA- og etter hvert også Ph.d.-nivå.
Traditional Healing Expectations in Light of Placebo and Performance Studies
Authors:   University of Helsinki, Finland, Kohonen Siria 
Published: March 2023

This article examines what expectations lay people (those not considered folk healers themselves) had for pre-industrial Finnish-Karelian healing traditions, how these expectations were represented in archived folklore materials, and how they, in turn, affected the healing traditions. The study represents a cross-disciplinary analysis of the subject, with theoretical perspectives drawn from performance studies, cognitive science memory studies, and placebo studies. Via a two-step analysis, this article examines the different meanings given to traditional healing methods and suggests that these methods increased the placebo effect in several ways, most importantly by fulfilling the general expectations for healing performances. The article also proposes that the placebo effect affected the way that lay people considered efficacious healing performances.
An epidemiological study of the predictors of multidrug resistance and methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus spp. isolated from canine specimens submitted to a diagnostic laboratory in Tennessee, USA

Background
Understanding drivers of multidrug resistance (MDR) and methicillin resistance, which have increased among canine staphylococcal isolates, is essential for guiding antimicrobial use practices. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify predictors of MDR and methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus spp. commonly isolated from canine clinical specimens.

Methods
This retrospective study used records of canine specimens submitted to the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine Clinical Bacteriology Laboratory for bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing between 2006 and 2017. Records from 7,805 specimens positive for the following Staphylococcus species were included for analysis: Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus coagulans (formerly Staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans), and Staphylococcus schleiferi (formerly S. schleiferi subsp. schleiferi). Generalized linear regression models were fit using generalized estimating equations (GEE) to identify predictors of MDR (defined as resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes) and methicillin resistance among these isolates.

Results
Multidrug resistance (42.1%) and methicillin resistance (31.8%) were relatively common. Isolates from skeletal (joint and bone) specimens had the highest levels of MDR (51.3%) and methicillin resistance (43.6%), followed by cutaneous specimens (45.8% multidrug-resistant, 37.1% methicillin resistant). Staphylococcus species, specimen site, and clinical setting were significant (p < 0.01) predictors of both outcomes. Compared to S. pseudintermedius, S. schleiferi had higher odds of methicillin resistance, while S. coagulans and S. schleiferi had lower odds of MDR. The odds of both MDR and methicillin resistance for isolates from hospital patient specimens were significantly higher than those from referral patients for urine/bladder and otic specimens. Odds of MDR among isolates from skeletal specimens of hospital patients were also higher than those of referral patients.

Conclusions
Staphylococcus isolates in this study had substantial levels of MDR and methicillin resistance. Differences in the odds of these outcomes between referral and hospital patient isolates did not persist for all specimen sites, which may reflect differences in diagnostic testing and antimicrobial use practices with respect to body site or system. Judicious antimicrobial use, informed by culture and susceptibility testing, is important to limit treatment failures and curb selection pressure.
Exploring Korean adolescent stress on social media: a semantic network analysis
Authors: Song JongHwi , Yang JunRyul , Yoo SooYeun , Cheon KyungIn , Yun SangKyun , Shin YunHee 
Published: March 2023

Background
Considering that adolescents spend considerable time on the Internet and social media and experience high levels of stress, it is difficult to find a study that investigates adolescent stress through a big data-based network analysis of social media. Hence, this study was designed to provide basic data to establish desirable stress coping strategies for adolescents based on a big data-based network analysis of social media for Korean adolescent stress. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify social media words that express stress in adolescents and (2) investigate the associations between those words and their types.

Methods
To analyse adolescent stress, we used social media data collected from online news and blog websites and performed semantic network analysis to understand the relationships among keywords extracted in the collected data.

Results
The top five words used by Korean adolescents were counselling, school, suicide, depression, and activity in online news, and diet, exercise, eat, health, and obesity in blogs. As the top keywords of the blog are mainly related to diet and obesity, it reflects adolescents’ high degree of interest in their bodies; the body is also a primary source of adolescent stress. In addition, blogs contained more content about the causes and symptoms of stress than online news, which focused more on stress resolution and coping. This highlights the trend that social blogging is a new channel for sharing personal information.

Conclusions
The results of this study are valuable as they were derived through a social big data analysis of data obtained from online news and blogs, providing a wide range of implications related to adolescent stress. Hence this study can contribute basic data for the stress management of adolescents and their mental health management in the future.

Published: March 2023

This study was aimed at investigating the quality characteristics of flour blends produced from sesame seeds, African yam bean (AYB) and Moringa leaf powder (MLP) for “biscuit- like” production. Dehulled sesame seeds were roasted for 7-13 min at 185 – 200 0C, defatted and milled into flour and tagged as DSDSF , African yam bean was toasted at 125 0C for 40 min, dehulled, milled into flour, and tagged as TDAYBF while Moringa leaf was sundried, milled into flour and tagged as MLP. All these flour samples were then blended into 18 ratios and tagged as LMDTM1-18. The ratios of DSDSF:TDAYBF:MLP were 100: 0:0(LMDTM1), 0: 100: 0(LMDTM2), 95: 0: 5(LMDTM3), 95:5:0(LMDTM4), 90: 5:5(LMDTM5), 90:10:0(LMDTM6), 80:15:5 (LMDTM7), 80: 20:0(LMDTM8), 70:25: 5(LMDTM9), 70:30: 0(LMDTM10), 60: 35: 0(LMDTM11), 60: 40: 0(LMDTM12), 50: 45: 5(LMDTM13), 50: 50: 0(LMDTM14), 40: 55: 5(LMDTM15), 40: 60: 0(LMDTM16), 30: 65: 5(LMDTM17), and 30: 70: 0(LMDTM18). The flour blends were studied for physicochemical, functional and anti-nutrients properties. After blending, the formulated samples had proximate composition of 3.37 -9.21 % moisture, 18-27.5 % protein, 0.18-3.95 fat, 1.31 – 3.9 % ash, 3.2-8.88 % crude fiber and 52.75-65.45 % carbohydrate. Each proximate component varied significantly (p<0.05) between samples. While LMDTM13 had significantly(p<0.05) the highest moisture content, protein, and fat LMDTM6 had the highest ash content, LMDTM2 had the highest crude fiber and LMDTM1 had the highest carbohydrate. The control sample LMDTM1 had the highest bulk density (0.711), water absorption capacity (165.52 %), oil absorption capacity (94.5 %), protein solubility (13.4 %), foaming capacity (8.0 %), but lowest swelling power (3.5 %), emulsion capacity (46.2 %), phytate (16.29 mg/100g), tannin (4.64mg/100g) and Trypsin inhibitor (1.20 mg/100g) compared to other samples. Blended flour mainly from plant sources of high-quality value can be blended when processed, giving the opportunity to increase its nutrition, consumption, and acceptability for biscuit- like production. In this study, sesame seeds were incorporated into African yam bean and moringa leaf powder to increase the quality and flavor replacing wheat flour in biscuit production.

Field experiment was conducted during December 2018 to April 2019 at the Student’s farm, Department of Agriculture Science & Rural Development, Loyola Academy degree and pg college, Secunderabad to find out the effect of bio-stimulants on growth and yield of Brinjal var. Utkarsha. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and the treatments comprised of: T1- Folicist @ 3 ml l-1, T2 – Fylloton @ 3 ml l-1, T3 – Globalga @ 3 ml l-1, T4 – Tata Bahar @ 2.5 ml l-1, T5 – Neo-Alpha @ 2.5 ml l-1, T6 – Daiwik @ 2.5 ml l-1, T7 – Recommended dose of NPK alone and T8 – control. Biostimulants were applied as foliar spray at pre-flowering, flowering and fruit setting stages. From the results of the experiment, it was observed that all the growth parameters i.e., plant height (92 cm), number of branches (12 plant-1) and number of leaves (38 plant-1) were significantly increased by the application of folicist @ 3.0 ml l-1 and it was at par with tata bahar @ 2.5 ml l-1. Same treatment also resulted significant increase in terms of number of flowers (68 plant-1), number of fruits (29 plant-1). The fruit length (7.8 cm), fruit diameter (8.35 cm), average fruit weight (90 g fruit-1), fruit yield (2.55 kg plant-1) were recorded in foliar application of folicist @ 3 ml l-1 and it was onpar with foliar application of tata bahar 2.5 ml l-1. The lowest values of growth parameters, yield attributes and yield were observed in control (T8). From the present study it can be concluded that application of folicist @ 3.0 ml l-1 will fetch the remuneration to the farmers.
Trend, Pattern and Presentation of Visual Impairment and Blindness among Students of Schools for the Blind in South-East Nigeria
Authors: Jane-Pamela Okeke Chiamaka , Ogbeanu Achigbu Eberechukwu , Emmanuel Ogborogu , Ifeoma Ejiakor 
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The prevalence and distribution of major causes of blindness in children vary based on the availability of primary health care and eye care services, and under-5 mortality rates amongst others. Irrespective of the aetiology, blind children have a lifetime to live with the disability and this places enormous pressure on the family unit and the society.
Data on the magnitude of blindness is usually gotten from schools for the blind.
This study aimed to identify the recent trend, and presentation of visual impairment and blindness among students in schools for the blind located in southeast Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted among visually impaired students in schools for the blind in southeast, Nigeria. A total of 92 students were examined from three randomly selected schools out of the six schools in this region.
Results: There was a male to female ratio of 1.3:1, an age range of 8-32 years with a mean age of 18.4 6.4 years. Majority of the students (85.9%) were blind with visual acuity <3/60, and 14.1% had visual impairment.
Glaucoma was the leading cause of blindness followed by cataract and most known causes of blindness occurred in childhood.
Conclusion: Most of the causes of blindness were from preventable and treatable causes. Increasing the availability of specialized eye care services for children, and improving primary health services will reduce the prevalence of blindness due to avoidable causes.

Excavations at Kilmelfort Cave, Argyll
Authors: Coles J M 
Published: March 2023

The excavation of part of a cave at Kilmelfort, Argyll, revealed remnants of a flint and stone industry of 'Mesolithic' character, but dating evidence was restricted due to the previous destruction of the major part of the site by hydro-electric operations. The importance of the site lies in its suggestion of moderate-altitude occupation in shelters and caves, and in the total masking of the entrance by ancient rockfall; comparable sites may well be undisturbed and await discovery.

The site was excavated in advance of roadworks on the M90 motorway. Four phases of activity were recognized.Phase 1 A class 1 henge monument with a concentric ring of nine pits within. Beaker sherds were recovered from the ditch. A cremation lay outside the entrance. Phase 2 A small burial cairn with contiguous peristalith of stones surrounded by a ring of free standing monoliths. The monument of this phase was almost completely destroyed. Phase 3 A ring of eight free standing monoliths, graded in height from SW to NE; recumbent stones lay between the three tallest monoliths on the south-west arc. At the centre a possible ring cairn was accompanied by cremated burials in pits.Phase 4 The centre of the monument was used as a metallurgical workshop for smelting iron and casting leaded bronze.
A unique facade in Great Britain: the west front of Holyrood Abbey
Authors: McAleer J Philip 
Published: March 2023

The early Gothic façade of Holyrood Abbey was originally distinguished by two large towers. Although many large churches built in the British Isles during the previous (12th) century had two western towers, they were generally built over the westernmost bays of the nave aisles. In the case of a few buildings dating to the later 12th and early 13th centuries, the towers flanked the last bays of the aisles, thereby creating a wide 'screen' fagade. The position of the towers at Holyrood was distinctly different from either of these types. The towers were placed both outside the line of the aisle walls and in front of the plane of the west wall: they were tangent to the corners of the aisles by only one of their corners. As a result, a shallow open space was created between them, in front of the west portal. In this regard, Holyrood appears to have been exceptional in the British Isles. The closest parallels for this arrangement are found at several churches on the Continent which are widely separated geographically and, as a group, without any obvious connection with each other. The unusual system of passageways within the west front of Holyrood also further contributes to its unique character.
The collection of antiquarian information for the early Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland
Authors: Davidson J L 
Published: March 2023

This paper pays tribute to a little recognized body of amateur archaeologists who in the 19th century compiled a nation-wide Record of archaeological and historical sites in the British Isles. Scotland is fortunate that this ecord still exists, as the English and Welsh Name Books were destroyed during an air raid on Ordnance Survey headquarters at Southampton in 1940. The appearance of antiquities on the first-edition Ordnance Survey maps has been taken for granted by researchers for decades, but the background account of why and how antiquities were recorded is probably little appreciated. This paper explains the role of the Ordnance Survey in Scotland during the last century in forming this Record, the involvement of this Society, the reasons why antiquities were published on the maps and described in the Name Books, the controversies some descriptions inadvertently raised, and the format of the Books themselves.
