The experiences of mathematics subject advisors when conducting school support visits
Authors: Shushu Hamilton 
Published: June 2023

Given the importance of mathematics performance of learners andthe challenges in South Africa, it is important that the expertise of all role-players, including the subject advisors who visit the teachers to guide and support them, is used to its full potential. While some studies have explored the experiences of teachers in this regard, literature on the experiences of mathematics subject advisors is scant. Furthermore, little has been published on the experiences of subject advisors within the context of rural areas with a low population, such as the Northern Cape Province. This article addresses the gap by exploring the deeper understanding of mathematics subject advisors’ experiences when conducting school support visits. Taking a qualitative research approach, I conducted semi-structured interviews with six mathematics subject advisors from the four phases (foundation, intermediate, senior, and further education and training) in all five of the education districts of the Northern Cape Department of Education (Frances Baard; Z.F. Mgcwawu; Pixley Ka Seme; Namakwa; and J.T. Gaetsewe). Through Husserl’s phenomenological theoretical framework, complemented with Gibbs’ reflective cycle and Colaizzi’s seven steps of data analysis, participants were found to have had both good and bad experiences when conducting school support visits. Experiences included positive attitudes from educators and schools in general, and good curriculum implementation and teaching and learning practices. However, participants were sometimes received with hostility, and observed poor curriculum implementation and teaching and learning practices. Noteworthy is some negative union influence, lack of specialisation in mathematics by foundation phase departmental heads, lack of coherence in communication, and lack of cooperation and collaboration amongst district officials. If the concerns raised by mathematics subject advisors in this paper are not addressed, these may have a negative impact on the experiences of subject advisors and, by implication, on learner performance as well as education in general.

Published: June 2023

The numerous benefits of Open Science (OS) and of the four FAIR foundational principles -Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable- are increasingly valued in academia, although what OS and FAIR entail is still largely misunderstood. In such conditions putting in practice OS and applying the FAIR principles is challenging and underrated. However, realising OS is perfectly within grasp provided that an infrastructure supporting the management of the research lifecycle is available. RoHub is precisely a Research Object (RO) management platform implementing three complementary technologies: Research Objects, Data Cubes and Artificial Intelligence-based Text Mining services. RoHub enables researchers to collaboratively manage, share and preserve their research while they are still working on it (rather than after the work is finished). In this paper, three communities from Earth Sciences, namely Geohazards, Sea Monitoring and Climate Change, demonstrate how RoHub helped them to understand each other and to work openly, and more importantly how communities of practice play an important role in facilitating reuse and interdisciplinary collaboration. These findings are illustrated with several use cases from these various communities.
La nationalité entre forme de réparation, réaffiliation et capital : les descendantes et descendants de républicains espagnols exilés et la récupération de la nationalité espagnole
Authors: Ribert Évelyne , Noûs Camille 
Published: June 2023

Alors que la « loi sur la mémoire historique » votée en 2007 en Espagne permettait aux descendants d’exilés républicains de recouvrer la nationalité espagnole qu’ils avaient perdue, cet article analyse la signification de la récupération de cette nationalité en France et en Amérique latine. Il montre que, pour les descendants résidant en France qui la demandent, l’obtention de la nationalité espagnole constitue une forme de réparation pour les violences subies sous le franquisme, tout en permettant une réaffiliation à l’Espagne, tandis que ceux qui ne la demandent pas la pensent sur le modèle d’appartenance nationale de l’État-nation. A contrario, en Amérique latine, les considérations pragmatiques l’emportent, la nationalité espagnole étant perçue comme un capital permettant de voyager. Pour autant, les logiques prévalant en France et en Amérique latine ne s’excluent pas. Dans l’Hexagone, certains perçoivent son obtention comme un patrimoine, tandis qu’outre-Atlantique d’autres souhaitent se rendre en Espagne sur les traces des aïeux.
Dual Nationality and National Belonging: A Case Study of Chinese Diaspora in Indonesia from 1949 to 1960s
Authors: Guo Sanzhuan , McFarland Tim 
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the connection between dual nationality and national belonging through a case study of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia from 1949 to 1960s. About 3 million Chinese in Indonesia were dual nationals in 1949 when the People’s Republic of China was established, holding both Chinese and Indonesian nationalities. Under a treaty signed in 1955 by China and Indonesia on dual nationality, the Chinese with dual nationality were forced to choose a single nationality. The paper traces the history of the nationality selection of those Chinese, including the broader legal and social contexts, to establish a foundation for understanding their sense of national belonging. The paper provides insightful historical knowledge which can be used to further the current debate on whether the 1980 Chinese Nationality Law should be revised to permit overseas Chinese to keep their Chinese nationality, as they could before 1949. The potential change to Chinese nationality law may impact the nationality of Chinese diasporas worldwide.
Impact des contextes législatif, politique et économique du pays d’origine sur la naturalisation. Le cas des ressortissant·e·s de l’Union européenne en Suisse
Authors: Pont Aurélie , Wanner Philippe 
Published: June 2023

La décision de se naturaliser dépend non seulement du profil et de la trajectoire migratoire des personnes susceptibles d’acquérir une nouvelle nationalité, mais aussi des caractéristiques des pays d’accueil et d’origine. Peu d’attention est toutefois portée aux changements survenant dans le pays d’origine. Cet article s’intéresse à trois évènements ayant pu affecter la naturalisation des ressortissant·e·s étranger·ère·s vivant en Suisse : la reconnaissance de la double nationalité, l’entrée dans l’UE et la crise de l’euro. Il éclaire les pratiques de naturalisation en comparant l’évolution des taux de naturalisation durant les périodes précédant et suivant ces changements. Les résultats montrent que la reconnaissance de la double nationalité a certainement augmenté durablement l’intérêt à se naturaliser alors que le taux de naturalisation des nouveaux États membres de l’UE diminue et converge vers le taux européen. L’impact de la crise économique est quant à lui plus discutable.

Authors: Sousa Ione Celeste Jesus de 
Published: June 2023

Com proposição ao eixo História da educação e do corpo, higiene e materialidades, este artigo apresenta um recorte micro histórico sobre a cultura material escolar na província da Bahia a partir da tentativa de substituição das carteiras escolares nas duas escolas normais da sua Capital, Salvador, que eram de modelo norte-americano - assim como nas aulas públicas das freguesias da mesma cidade - por um lote de novas de origem alemã, no ano de 1881, durante a gestão do diretor geral de instrução Cônego Romualdo Barroso. Rastreia as relações entre a materialidade das carteiras escolares, o saber docente e suas relações com o saber médico higienista, entre 1881 e 1885 utilizando como fontes os quatro relatórios do referido diretor geral de Instrução Pública, dos anos de 1881 a 1884; pedidos enviados por professores /as das aulas públicas da província da Bahia solicitando mobiliário escolar; o artigo do médico Antônio Pacifico Pereira, publicado na revista Gazeta Médica da Bahia, em janeiro de 1881, sobre a Hygiene nas escolas. Ancora na perspectiva da História Cultural Francesa das práticas sociais, problematizando micro historicamente os indícios e rastros de práticas culturais escolares expressas em projetos, prescrições, pareceres de comissões sobre a mobília escolar. Tem como base historiográfica a produção brasileira de autores do campo da História da Educação a partir das categorias analíticas de Cultura Escolar, Cultura Material Escolar, Materialidade Escolar e Higiene Escolar.
Retinoic Acid–Related Orphan Receptor α Is Required for Generation of Th2 Cells in Type 2 Pulmonary Inflammation

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The transcription factor retinoic acid–related orphan receptor α (RORα) is important in regulating several physiological functions, such as cellular development, circadian rhythm, metabolism, and immunity. In two in vivo animal models of type 2 lung inflammation, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection and house dust mite (HDM) sensitization, we show a role for Rora in Th2 cellular development during pulmonary inflammation. N. brasiliensis infection and HDM challenge induced an increase in frequency of Rora-expressing GATA3+CD4 T cells in the lung. Using staggerer mice, which have a ubiquitous deletion of functional RORα, we generated bone marrow chimera mice, and we observed a delayed worm expulsion and reduced frequency in the expansion of Th2 cells and innate lymphoid type 2 cells (ILC2s) in the lungs after N. brasiliensis infection. ILC2-deficient mouse (Rorafl/flIl7raCre) also had delayed worm expulsion with associated reduced frequency of Th2 cells and ILC2s in the lungs after N. brasiliensis infection. To further define the role for Rora-expressing Th2 cells, we used a CD4-specific Rora-deficient mouse (Rorafl/flCD4Cre), with significantly reduced frequency of lung Th2 cells, but not ILC2, after N. brasiliensis infection and HDM challenge. Interestingly, despite the reduction in pulmonary Th2 cells in Rorafl/flCD4Cre mice, this did not impact the expulsion of N. brasiliensis after primary and secondary infection, or the generation of lung inflammation after HDM challenge. This study demonstrates a role for RORα in Th2 cellular development during pulmonary inflammation that could be relevant to the range of inflammatory diseases in which RORα is implicated.
Modifying skin flaps for achieving very large decompressive craniectomies in malignant middle cerebral artery territory infarcts: A technical note
Authors: Patel Shamshuddin , Bhosle Rajesh , Ghosh Nabanita , Das Sayan , Krishnan Prasad 
Published: June 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Decompressive craniectomy is a well described treatment to salvage life in large middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarcts. The size of the craniectomy is limited by the size of the skin incision and very large craniectomies need large skin flaps that are prone to necrosis at the wound margins.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
We describe two modifications in the skin flap that we have used in 7 patients to achieve very large bony decompressions in malignant MCA infarctions without compromising on flap vascularity. One consists of a linear extension posteriorly from the question mark or reverse question mark incision while the other is an “n” shaped incision.

RESULTS:
With these modifications we achieved craniectomies of size 15.6–17.8 cm in the anteroposterior and 10.7–12 cm in vertical axis of the bone flap removed in our patients. There were no additional procedural or wound related complications in a 6-month follow up.

CONCLUSIONS:
Removal of a standard size bone flap may achieve suboptimal decompression in cases of large MCA territory infarctions. Imaginative tailoring of skin flaps helps to remove larger volumes of skull with no added procedural morbidity.

Published: June 2023

Introduction:
India has a huge disease burden of thalassemia major with an estimated 40 million carriers and over a million thalassemia major patients. Very few patients are optimally treated, and the standard of care “hematopoietic stem cell transplant” (HSCT) is out of reach for most patients and their families. The cost of HSCT is significant, and a substantial proportion of it goes to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing of family members (HLA screening) in hope of getting a matched related donor (MRD) for HSCT. The aim of this study was to establish that a new proposed testing algorithm of HLA typing would be more cost-effective as compared to the conventional HLA screening within MRD families for possible HSCT.

Material and Methods:
Buccal swab samples of 177 thalassemia patients and their prospective family donors (232) were collected. Using a new HLA testing algorithm, samples were tested for HLA typing in a sequential manner (first HLA-B, then HLA-A, and finally HLA-DR) using the sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe method on the Luminex platform.

Results:
The new sequential HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 testing algorithm showed a 49.1% reduction in cost compared to the conventional HLA testing algorithm. Furthermore, 40 patients (22.59%) were found to have HLA-MRD within the family among other samples that were tested.

Conclusion:
The new HLA testing algorithm proposed in the present study for identifying MRD for HSCT resulted in a substantial reduction in the cost of HSCT workup.
Antihypertensive medication non-adherence and its associated factors among adult patients with uncontrolled hypertension in a primary care setting
Authors: Michael Godpower Chinedu , Tanimu Salihu Tanko 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
Medication nonadherence is a significant challenge in the management of patients with hypertension. This study aimed to assess antihypertensive medication nonadherence and its associated factors in a cohort of patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 225 adult patients with uncontrolled hypertension systematically selected from attendees of the general outpatient clinic of an academic tertiary hospital in Kano, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on their sociodemographic, clinical, and follow-up appointment characteristics. An 8-item medication adherence scale was used to assess medication adherence.

Results:
There were 155 (68.9%) females. The participants' median age (interquartile range [IQR]) was 55 (45–63) years. Their median adherence score (IQR) was 4 (1–6) of 8, while 87.1% were non-adherent to antihypertensive medication. The duration of treatment (p = 0.009), current blood pressure (p = 0.006), and adherence to follow-up clinic appointments (p = 0.0004) were significantly associated with their median medication nonadherence scores.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of medication non-adherence in this population is high; however, patients who have been treated for more than 5 years, those with high blood pressure readings (Stage 2 hypertension), and those who were adherent to follow-up appointments had worse medication adherence scores than the other counterparts. These findings justify the need to extensively explore (especially those with long duration of treatment and Stage 2 blood pressure readings) and address the reasons for non-adherence to antihypertensive medication (which should include the identified associated factors), given that medication adherence is crucial in controlling hypertension and its consequences.
Prevalence and correlates of social networking addiction and its association with adult ADHD and stress among students of a medical college
Authors: Singh Abhishek Bahadur , Mishra Ambrish Kumar , Vijay Mano , Karanth Varsha , Mittal Kailash 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
Repeated use of social network is said to cause addiction. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is disorder found in childhood. Studies have shown that such children continue to have the symptoms of ADHD as adults. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of social networking addiction and Internet addiction and their relationship with ADHD. Also, to assess the relationship between perceived stress and sociodemographic factors with social networking and internet addiction.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 undergraduate and postgraduate students of BMCRI after ethical clearance. Medical students who gave consent were included through stratified random sampling. Those who were taking treatment for psychiatric illness were excluded. Scales like the Young Internet addiction test (IAT); Bergen's Facebook Reporting Scale, ADHD Self-Reporting Scale, and Wender Utah Brief Rating Scale for ADHD, and Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) for perceived stress have been used.

Results:
The mean age was found to be 21.56 ± 3 years. 62.6% were males and 37.33% of were females. The prevalence of Internet addiction was found to be 23.3% (n = 35), with 2% (n = 3) were having severe addiction, 6.6% (n = 10) were having moderate Internet and 14.6% (n = 22) having mild internet addiction according to modified Young's criteria (2011). The prevalence of social networking addiction as per the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) score was 4.66% and adult ADHD was 15%. There was a strong positive correlation (0.76) between Internet Addiction and Facebook addiction scores and between BFAS score and IAT score. A moderate positive correlation (0.46 and 0.47) between Internet addiction and Facebook addiction with perceived stress and ADHD and IAT score with PSS score and ASRS score, weak positive correlation with PSS score and ASRS score was observed.

Conclusion:
A significant proportion of medical students develop Internet addiction and minority develops social network addiction. Furthermore, perceived stress and ADHD scores are positively correlated with internet and social networking addiction.

Authors: Sherin Raj TP , Tiwari Vijay Kumar , Gandotra Ramesh 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
The AYUSH system of medicine is effective in the case management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched a pilot program in 2016 integrating AYUSH with the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke for community-based screening and management of NCDs. This study was done to assess the effectiveness of AYUSH treatment with Yoga practices in project districts in terms of the adoption of a healthy lifestyle besides relief from NCDs.

Material and Methods:
The study was conducted in six districts from six states, namely Bhilwara (Rajasthan), Surendranagar (Gujarat), Gaya (Bihar), Darjeeling (West Bengal), Krishna (Andhra Pradesh), and Lakhimpur-Kheri (Uttar Pradesh) with a total sample of 56 lifestyle disease Clinics and 1790 beneficiaries.

Results:
The results show that 75% of patients were currently doing yoga and 60%–80% of patients experienced various benefits of yoga. These benefits were relief from pain (82%), improvement in appetite (72%), reduction in weakness (72%), and sickness (71%). The study also found that after taking AYUSH treatment, overall 73% of patients reduced dosage of allopathic medicines, 52% had reduced side effects of allopathic medicines, 24% stopped allopathic medicine, and 50% got faster recovery.

Conclusion:
Low cost and fewer side effects are considered merits of AYUSH medicine that drive its acceptance in the community and could be prioritized under preventive care. The dual form of medicine is the new form emerging option to the existing modern medicine.
Comparative evaluation of conventional and diode laser-assisted gingival curettage in shallow suprabony periodontal pocket – Three months follow-up of a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Bali Ashish , Sannigrahi Sudipta , Pal Pritish C 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common forms of periodontal disease in adults. The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to remove dental plaque and bacteria to restore and maintain gingival tissue health. Subgingival scaling, root planning, and curettages are aimed at removing dental plaque, calculus, and necrotic cementum.

Aim and Objectives:
The main aim of our present randomized control clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of diode lasers compared to conventional curettage using hand instruments in patients with chronic periodontitis having shallow suprabony pockets. In addition, the pain sensation during conventional and laser-assisted curettage was compared during the procedure using Visual Analog Scale.

Materials and method:
Subjects with shallow pockets were divided into two groups and treated with either conventional curettage (Control group) with hand instrument or with diode laser (Test group). The data obtained were fed into Microsoft Excel 2000 package, and statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 20.0 for Windows.

Results:
The control group elicited a reduction in probing pocket depth (PPD) from baseline to 1 month after treatment (6.60 ± 0.99 vs. 3.87 ± 0.64, respectively), which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The 3-month postoperative scores had been reduced to 2.43 ± 0.50, which was also statistically significant (P < 0.05). The reduction between the 1 and 3 months after treatment (3.87 ± 0.64 vs. 2.43 ± 0.46, respectively), was also statistically significant (P < 0.05). The test group elicited a reduction in PPD from baseline to 1 month after treatment (6.80 ± 0.86 vs. 4.00 ± 0.76, respectively), which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The 3-month postoperative scores had been reduced to 3.53 ± 0.48, which was also statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was a marginal reduction of postoperative scores between the 1 and 3 months after treatment (4.00 ± 0.76 vs. 3.53 ± 0.48, respectively), which was nonsignificant (P = 0.53). The mean PPD at baseline between Control group versus Test group (6.60 ± 0.99 vs. 6.80 ± 0.86, respectively) was nonsignificant (P = 0.56). The PPD at 1 month also revealed nonsignificant reduction, i.e. Control group versus Test group (3.87 ± 0.64 vs. 4.00 ± 0.76, P = 0.60). The postoperative reduction of PPD at 3 months was statistically significant (P < 0.05), i.e. Control group versus Test group (2.43 ± 0.46 vs. 3.53 ± 0.48).

Conclusion:
Within the limit of our study, it can be proved that both hand instrument-guided curettage and laser-assisted curettage can effectively reduce shallow pockets to a healthy gingival sulcus.
