Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is a critical public health issue affecting millions of people globally. Objective: To evaluate the status of micronutrients and their relationship with malnutrition severity. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over six months from November 2023 to April 2024 at Pead’s Department Of Khairpur Medical College, KhairpurMirs. The study included 384 participants diagnosed with SAM. Micronutrient levels were assessed using quantitative colorimetry. Statistical analyses were descriptive, independent t-tests, Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses to evaluate micronutrient deficiencies. Results: The mean age of the children was 24.5 months, with a male predominance of 54.7%. Micronutrient levels showed significant variation between children with mild and severe malnutrition: p = 0.03), zinc (62.7 vs. 55.8 µg/dl, p = 0.01), vitamin B12 (312.4 vs. 278.6 pg/ml, p = 0.02), copper (97.3 vs. 89.2 µg/dl, p = 0.03), and selenium (45.7 vs. 40.2 µg/l, p < 0.05). Positive correlations between micronutrient levels and anthropometric variables were found by correlation analysis. Logistic regression indicated that deficiencies in Vitamin B12 (OR: 1.45, p = 0.02), Zinc (OR: 1.62, p = 0.01), and Copper (OR: 1.35, p = 0.03) were significant predictors of severe malnutrition. Conclusions: The findings emphasized that the need for targeted nutritional interventions addressing Vitamin B12, Zinc, and Copper deficiencies to improve health outcomes in malnourished children. Further research was essential to evaluate the impact of supplementation strategies on growth and recovery

Published: January 2025

Dental caries, often known as tooth decay, is a widespread public health concern that presents many difficulties, especially in developing nations like Pakistan. Objectives: To evaluate a non-invasive salivary diagnostic approach for predicting the risk of dental caries. Methods: In the comparative cross-sectional study, a total of 90 participants were recruited through purposive sampling technique belonging to the age group between 20 and 30 years, which was conducted in one of the private hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. The participants were placed into two groups for the study according to their oral health state, as determined by the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth index. Both informed consent and ethical approval were acquired. Samples of saliva were collected and examined utilizing standardized tools. Data were analyzed by statistical software version 23.0 by using the Chi-square test. Results: Participants with active caries (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth >5) and those in optimum dental health (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth=0) showed significant differences. Lower salivary pH (p=0.003), decreased flow rate (p=0.001), decreased buffering capacity (p=0.002), and increased viscosity in the high-risk group are important findings. These differences imply altered salivary dynamics, which raise the risk of dental cavities. Conclusions: It was concluded that a non-invasive and efficient method for determining the risk of dental cavities is salivary diagnostics, especially for communities with limited access to preventative dental treatment. Salivary evaluations incorporated into standard dental procedures may improve preventative measures.

Published: January 2025

A inteligência artificial é um forte tema de estudo na área da medicina assistida por computação científica. O objetivo dessa técnica é reproduzir tarefas que são realizáveis apenas por seres humanos. A principal vantagem desses algoritmos é eliminar tediosas horas de trabalho executadas por humanos, além de mitigar o viés que ocorre na marcação entre especialistas em um mesmo banco de dados. Mais especificamente, extrair somente a região que contenha o coração em uma Tomografia Computadorizada facilita diversas técnicas que fazem diagnóstico de doenças cardíacas. Para tal, pode-se utilizar um algoritmo de Redes Neurais Convolucionais dedicado à detecção de objetos, que tem-se manifestado em diversos artigos científicos atuais em imagens bidimensionais, o Faster R-CNN. Este algoritmo teve uma adaptação para 3 dimensões no desafio Multi-Modality Whole Heart Segmentation de 2017. Assim sendo, neste trabalho foram incrementadas melhorias e análises neste algoritmo apresentado. Mais precisamente, nas etapas responsáveis pela detecção da região do espaço 3D na qual se encontra incluído o coração. Após as devidas modificações e análise dos hiperparâmetros, obtivemos uma precisão de 74% na métrica Intersection Over Union no teste deste modelo, assim como há, em média, cortes na região do coração em torno de 6% de seu volume. Portanto, concluímos que o algoritmo implementado e estudado é capaz de detectar a região espacial da imagem tomográfica contendo o coração com precisão aceitável, tendo em vista que o intuito é reduzir o tamanho da imagem, destacando somente o essencial, a fim de facilitar o processamento de técnicas de diagnóstico.

Objective: To carry out the flowcytometry based immunophenotypic characterization of platelet function disorders in clinically suspected patients at a reference laboratory.
Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted at Immunology Department, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) / National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) from May 2019 to March 2023. A total of 308 patients suspected of PFDs were analyzed using CD41, CD61, CD42a and CD42b on BD FACS Canto II flow cytometer.
Results: Out of 308 suspected patients, 104 (34%) were positive for platelet disorders. Total 30 were positive for GT and 74 were positive for BSS. Out of these patients, 35 females were positive for BSS and 14 were positive for GT. In males, 39 were positive for BSS and 26 for GT. Highest number of positive patients were found to be among age group from new born to 20 years.
Conclusion: Flowcytometry based assessment of abnormalities in glycoproteins on platelets is an important diagnostic modality. Bernard Soulier Syndrome (BSS) and Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) are autosomal recessive hereditary diseases. These diseases are more prevalent in countries where consanguineous marriages are common. Genetic counselling of such families is essential and prenatal diagnosis will be helpful.

O eucalipto é uma espécie de grande importância econômica para o estado do Espírito Santo. Dentre os inúmeros aspectos morfológicos importantes para o desenvolvimento de mudas, a área foliar é um indicador fundamental do potencial fotossintético da planta e, consequentemente, de seu crescimento e desenvolvimento. A modelagem da área foliar é um estudo em potencial para o cultivo de eucalipto por poder auxiliar na avaliação do crescimento das mudas, a otimização do uso de recursos e a seleção de clones mais produtivos. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho realizar a modelagem da área foliar de mudas clonais de eucalipto ‘TP361’. Foram coletadas e medidas folhas em diferentes épocas do ano e por meio do software de análise de imagens ImageJ, foram obtidas as medidas de comprimento, largura e área foliar de cada folha. Em seguida, foram ajustados modelos matemáticos para relacionar a área foliar observada com as dimensões lineares das folhas. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo que utiliza o produto do comprimento pela largura máxima da folha como variável independente é o que melhor representa a área foliar das mudas de eucalipto TP361. A equação pode ser utilizada para estimar a área foliar de forma rápida e precisa.

Published: January 2025

O sentido de emergência atribuído às mudanças climáticas vem fortalecendo o debate sobre as responsabilidades dos diferentes atores sociais para o enfrentamento desse problema e vem instigando a reconstrução de políticas públicas. No caso brasileiro, esse movimento vem se consolidando a partir do reconhecimento da desmobilização da agenda socioambiental, nos últimos anos, na contramão de todas as previsões científicas e acordos internacionais. Assim, esta pesquisa, baseada em levantamento e análise bibliográfica e documental, visa contribuir para a reflexão sobre o processo de desmonte da agenda climática, no período de 2019 a 2022, trazendo o debate para a necessidade de reconstrução de políticas públicas, no atual cenário político do Brasil. Os dados obtidos reafirmam a estratégia do governo anterior dirigida ao bloqueio e/ou imobilização deliberada na implantação de acordos globais associados a essa agenda, mas indicam, uma importante resiliência, no campo institucional para a retomada dessa pauta no novo ciclo governamental.
Webjornalismo: reflexões sobre critérios de noticiabilidade e espaço supraterritorial da notícia
Authors: Branco Samantha Castelo , Lima Clebson Lustosa Brandão 
Published: January 2025

As relações interpessoais e os processos comunicacionais ganham novos contornos com o advento da internet e o surgimento de portais de notícias e redes sociais digitais. Nesse cenário, Scholte (2002; 2005; 2007) faz uso do termo supraterritorialidade para se referir a acontecimentos que, impulsionados pelas tecnologias, não se prendem a fronteiras, transitando mundialmente numa espécie de ausência de limites físicos e geográficos. Nesse sentido, as discussões deste artigo se voltam à compreensão acerca da divulgação de informações pelo webjornalismo na atualidade, que possibilita a um fato de ordem local ou regional o alcance de públicos no âmbito nacional e global. Para concretização da proposta, recorre-se a autores que discutem os critérios de noticialilidade (Erbolato, 2002; Traquina, 2022; 2008), o webjornalismo (Recuero, 2009, 2011; Wolton, 2012; Ferrari, 2004; Palacios, 2002) e a ideia de supraterritorialidade (Scholte, 2002; 2005; 2007).

TAXATION SYSTEM IN KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO VALUE ADDED TAX: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Khan Mohammed Arshad 
Published: January 2025

Theoretical framework: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has acknowledged the limitations of relying exclusively on oil reserves as the predominant revenue stream, as this approach hinders the country's ability to attain sustained economic expansion owing to the unpredictable nature and fluctuations of global oil market prices.

Objective: The acceptability of the taxation system on consumer products and services in Saudi Arabia has increased as a result of the simplicity of the Value Added Tax (VAT) system. Despite the limited number of studies conducted on Value Added Tax (VAT) inside the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), this particular study represents one of the pioneering efforts to identify and analyze its impact, taking into account the recent law revisions. Consequently, this study possesses contemporaneity and pertinence in terms of offering novel perspectives to governing bodies regarding the value-added tax (VAT) framework, its reception, and the ramifications of income, declining purchasing power, governmental strategic decision-making, and the execution of diverse tax structure modifications.

Method: A total of 519 replies were obtained through the implementation of a judgment or purposive sample methodology. To accomplish Convergent and Discriminant Validity, evaluate model fitness, and carry out Structure Equation Modelling (SEM), Smart PLS 3 is used. The researcher used SPSS (specifically version 25) to implement appropriate statistical procedures and processes in service of the study's principal aims.

Implication: Moreover, the results indicate that the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) has an impact on individuals' income, leading to a decrease in their purchasing power. Additionally, it influences the government's approach to VAT and tax reforms in relation to the Saudi population.

Result and Conclusion: The adoption of VAT in Saudi Arabia is significantly influenced by income as a mediating factor. The function of purchasing power in mediating the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) in Saudi Arabia is of considerable importance.

Originality: The burden of value-added tax (VAT) is frequently transferred to the end consumer through price increases implemented by producers and distributors. The implementation of the Value Added Tax (VAT) system allows the government to generate income through a less visible means.
IDENTIFICATION OF TOXOCARA SPP. IN STOOL SAMPLES OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN IN NIMBOKRANG DISTRICT, JAYAPURA REGENCY, PAPUA
Authors: Sandy Semuel , Sasto Iman Harisma Saleh 
Published: January 2025

Background: Toxocariasis is a parasitic disease caused by Toxocara spp. Two species of Toxocara are highly significant in the medical field: Toxocara canis, found in dogs, and Toxocara cati, found in cats. The occurrence of toxocariasis in humans is linked to its occurrence in pets. Morphological identification of eggs and larvae through microscopy is the most commonly used method but has limitations in diagnostic accuracy. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method is a molecular approach developed for identifying Toxocara spp. This study aimed to identify Toxocara spp. in stool samples from children using the PCR method.

Methods: The study was conducted from January to November 2024 in Nimbokrang District, Jayapura Regency, Papua. A total of 327 stool samples from elementary school-aged children were collected and analyzed for Toxocara spp. using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers for Toxocara cati and Toxocara canis. PCR products were analyzed using gel electrophoresis with a 100 bp DNA ladder marker and visualized using a gel documentation system.

Results: Identification of Toxocara spp. using multiplex PCR was successfully performed on 327 stool samples from elementary school-aged children. The prevalence of toxocariasis was 14.7% (48/327), with Toxocara canis found in 12.8% (42/327) and Toxocara cati in 1.8% (6/327).

Conclusion: Toxocara spp. were successfully identified in stool samples from elementary school-aged children using the PCR method. This method is expected to aid in helminthiasis surveillance efforts within the community.

Introduction: Photoprotection is fundamental in preventing signs of skin ageing and in caring for skin health. Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation accelerates premature aging, characterized by wrinkles, loss of elasticity, hyperpigmentation and other cumulative damage to cellular DNA, as well as increasing the risk of developing skin cancer. Objective: To analyze the relevance of photoprotection as an indispensable strategy for preventing the signs of skin aging and maintaining skin health. Methodology: This study used a literature review methodology to investigate the importance of photoprotection in preventing signs of skin ageing and maintaining skin health. Results and Discussion: Broad-spectrum sunscreens (UVA/UVB) play an essential role in preventing photodamage and photoaging. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the main causes of premature skin ageing and structural damage to the skin. Broad-spectrum sunscreens offer protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn, and against UVA rays, which are responsible for deeper damage to the dermis. Studies show that regular use of sunscreens reduces the incidence of changes in the extracellular matrix and protects cellular DNA, preventing mutations associated with skin cancer. Conclusion: The regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreens (UVA and UVB), combined with antioxidants and physical barriers, is essential to reduce the harmful effects of the sun. Adopting healthy habits, such as avoiding intense sun exposure and wearing protective clothing, enhances prevention. Strategies combined with dermo-cosmetics help to delay the effects of ageing and preserve the integrity of the skin.
ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF LAND RIGHTS FOR PUBLIC INTEREST
Authors: Safitri Adelia , Sugiharto Dr. 
Published: January 2025

This research examines the evolution of land rights in Indonesia, focusing on their social function. Drawing on von Savigny's perspective, which emphasizes the influence of family, nation, and state on law and culture, this research explores how these factors have shaped Indonesian land rights, blending customary and European legal traditions. This research aims to analyze the shift in land rights following the enactment of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) in 1960, which transformed land control from communal and religious systems to state regulation for the benefit of the people. The UUPA establishes that all land rights carry a social function, requiring their use to align with public interest and community welfare. Using a normative juridical approach, this research reviews key legal frameworks, including Law No. 5 of 1960 and Law No. 2 of 2012. The research findings reveal that the state plays a central role in ensuring the social function of land, particularly through policies that balance individual rights with public benefit, aligning with utilitarian ideals. This research concludes that while land rights are guaranteed under Indonesian agrarian law, their social function is prioritized, ensuring land use serves public interest and promotes equitable development.
