Published: July 2022

This study aims to describe the numeracy skills of students in the matter of fractional arithmetic. This research method is a type of combination research. The research subjects were 31 students of class VIIU1 SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Palembang, but three people were chosen as subjects to be interviewed. The data collection techniques in this study were questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The instrument in this study is the researcher and assisted by questionnaires, numeracy questions, and interview guidelines. The data analysis technique of this research is quantitative and qualitative with the stages of quantitative data analysis. The results showed that the response of students to blended learning was good. The numeracy ability of students after being given blended learning on fractional numbers is still low. This can be seen from the results of the written test which showed that there were only 2 students in the high category, 6 in the medium category, and 23 in the low category. Based on the results of written tests and interviews that have been analyzed based on indicators of numeracy skills, students are able to using various numbers or mathematical symbols related to basic mathematics and able to analyze information displayed in various forms (graphs, tables, charts, diagrams). This can be seen in students who are able to use mathematical concepts and procedures on fractional number material. Most of the students are not able interpret the results of the analysis to predict and make decisions, because students are not used to reinterpreting the results of calculations into the context of the problem

ABSTRACT
People with oligodactyly are humans who have less than five fingers and toes. This deficiency is formed since their birth. This study involved five informants from Ulutaue Hamlet, Bone Regency of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. People with oligodactyly usually get the nicknames "crab man", "disgusting person", "mapakka finger". In addition to verbal forms, people with oligodactyly also receive non-verbal treatment. Hence, it makes them feel ashamed, heads down and offended. Behind those non-verbal ridicules, people with oligodactyly have non-verbal communication between each other to be used as defense or protection against strangers. Based on these conditions, this research entitled "Analysis of the Meaning of Symbolic Messages for Oligodactyly Persons in Ulutaue Village in Bone Regency". This type of research uses qualitative research methods, ethnographic studies of communication with the aim of describing, analyzing, and explaining the communication behavior of a group of people with oligodactyly.
The results of this research concluded that people with oligodactyly have special beliefs about "ade' tomatoa riolo" means the culture of the previous people have an effect on their survival. Departing from this understanding, the oligodactyly group believes that all of this cannot be separated from the existence of a great power that controls everything.

Santería in Catemaco, Mexico
Authors: Papenfuss Maria 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The Mexican city of Catemaco is famous for its diversity of African-American religious traditions. Although Santería was originally shaped in Cuba, the local Mexican versions show not only a variety of references regarding their origins and influences, ranging from West Africa and Cuba to local indigenous traditions, but also (re)interpretations of historically and geographically diverse contents. Based on interview data gathered during field research in 2017, this article outlines the different hybrid (re)configurations of African-Mexican Santería in Catemaco by tracing the changes made by the practitioners in order to adapt existing traditions. The corresponding adaptation processes include beliefs, practices, lore and material assets. Under a critical perspective, concepts of transnationalism, syncretism and glocalization are discussed, focussing on the dynamics between local and global aspects of Santería in Catemaco and shedding light on the processes of inclusion, exclusion and the shift of boundaries.

Authors: Cerezo-Huerta Karina , Yáñez-Téllez Guillermina , Aguilar-Salinas Carlos Alberto 
Published: July 2022

Introducción: el deterioro cognoscitivo está asociado a la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), sin embargo, no existe acuerdo respecto a la interacción entre los Factores de la Adherencia Terapéutica (FAT) con el Funcionamiento Ejecutivo (FE).
Objetivo: estimar la influencia de los FAT sobre el rendimiento en el FE en pacientes con DM2. Método: estudio de casos y controles que incluyó a pacientes con DM2 atendidos en consulta externa hospitalaria; equiparados por sexo, edad y escolaridad con controles sanos; evaluados fisiológica, psicológica y neuropsicológicamente.
Resultados: 95 pacientes diabéticos y 95 controles sanos con una media de edad de 55.51 (diabéticos) y 55.45 (controles) y de escolaridad de 11.73 (diabéticos) y 11.64 (controles). El rendimiento en el FE en ambos grupos se encontró en el rango promedio, no obstante, en el grupo de diabéticos el rendimiento fue inferior en tareas de memoria (a corto plazo visual -P .039- y de trabajo verbal -P .001-) y planificación mental (P .033). Se generaron dos modelos estructurales para cada dominio, identificándose que los FAT asociados a dicho rendimiento fueron los demográficos y de la enfermedad.
Discusión y conclusión: existen dificultades específicas en el FE en pacientes con DM2 que son influidas por factores demográficos y de la enfermedad; se recomienda realizar evaluaciones de seguimiento en habilidades cognitivas de alto nivel en el paciente diabético, para implementar medidas de psicoeducación que favorezcan el autocuidado de la enfermedad.

Published: July 2022

Introducción: el gen FMR1 presenta una zona de tripletes CGG cuyo número es variable en la población. La mutación completa de FMR1 resulta generalmente en la hipermetilación anormal del gen y la pérdida de su expresión se refleja clínicamente en el Síndrome de X frágil y los estados intermedios en el expandido CGG se han relacionado al Síndrome de Temblor / Ataxia relacionado a X Frágil y a la Falla Ovárica Prematura.
Casos Clíncos: se presentan 3 pacientes, pertenecientes a la misma familia en quienes se realizó la determinación del expandido CGG de FMR1 y su estado de metilación, así como una descripción de los cuadros clínicos que presentaban.
Conclusión: en los pacientes con alteraciones en el expandido CGG de FMR1 las manifestaciones clínicas parecen representar un espectro continuo que va desde alteraciones de comportamiento hasta el típico síndrome de X frágil, por lo que siempre deberá mantenerse un alto índice de sospecha en pacientes con alteraciones neuropsiquiátricas de etiología no definida.

Authors: Villanueva-Castro Eliezer , Sangrador-Deitos Marcos Vinicius , Aragón-Arreola Jorge Fernando , Cano-Velázquez Gerardo , Gómez-Amador Juan Luis , Tena-Suck Martha Lilia 
Published: July 2022

Background: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumor with uncertain etiology; it is considered among the least common sarcomas, representing 0.2-1% of these cases in large studies. These tumors usually appear during childhood or young patients, with predominance in females.
Case description: We introduce the case of ASPS in a 62-year-old man, who presented with 7 months of progressive headache and diplopia. The brain MRI showed an infiltrative lesion in the anterior fossa that extended to the right orbital roof. The possibility of metastasis was ruled out. The patient underwent resection of the tumor with posteriorly good visual and neurologic recovery. Histologic characterization demonstrated homogeneous eosinophilic cells with a solid, vascularized pattern, cells with large and binucleated nucleoli, and vessels with endothelial and myoepithelial hyperplasia; numerous apoptotic bodies and mitosis figures were also present, but no necrosis. On immunohistochemistry, cells exhibited positive CD56, NSE in membrane form, and slight myogenin; vessels were strongly positive for myogenin, myoglobin, CD34, CD31, factor VIII, vimentin, and nestin as well as for HBM45, CD20, GFAP, and S-100; cytokeratin showed fine extracellular and intracellular filaments; GATA and TTF1 were negative. Some clear cells were observed to be positive for CD68. The piece was diagnosed as a non-meningeal alveolar sarcoma of the soft tissue with solid pattern.
Discussion and Conclusion: This case corresponds to the second tumor of this kind presented at our institution, the first one reported, and perhaps, one of the oldest patients to develop it worldwide.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous polygenic metabolic disease condition that is caused by insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia. Since, T2DM is genetically inherited and autonomic dysfunction is its major complications, healthy offsprings of diabetic parents are highly vulnerable to manifest dysautonomia leading to insulin resistance.
Objectives: We aimed to assess cardiac autonomic function using heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in healthy offsprings having parental history of T2DM.
Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out in the laboratory of department of Physiology enrolling 30 healthy offsprings of non-diabetic parents (Group 1) and 30 healthy offsprings of diabetic parents (Group 2). Anthropometric, biochemical and cardiovascular variables were assessed using standard procedures. Time domain and frequency domain parameters of HRV spectrum were assessed using photoplethysmography principle.
Results: HRV findings revealed that markers of sympathetic regulation were significantly higher and those of parasympathetic function were significantly reduced in subject group having parental history of T2DM. LF/HF ratio was significantly increased suggesting sympatho-vagal imbalance in offspring of diabetic parents even in their euglycemic state.
Conclusion: Alteration of cardiovascular autonomic function is found in healthy offspring of diabetic parents, characterized by reduced vagal activity and pronounced sympathetic regulation. Assessment of cardiac autonomic function would help in timely detection of such dysautonomia and reducing the life-threatening effects on offspring having parental history of T2DM.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Children use their vision to enhance motor skills, develop parent–child bonds, build picture perception, and gain balance. Children may enter school with vision problems. Sub-optimal vision can lead to poor academic performance, a lack of interest in school, and even dropping out.
Objective: To evaluate the pattern of various ocular morbidities among preschool children of Biratnagar metropolis.
Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted from October 2020 -Jan 2021 among 393 study participants at 5 different preschools of Biratnagar using total enumeration sampling. Vision was assessed with Snellen's visual acuity charts and Kay Picture chart. Anterior and posterior segment examination was done using a hand-held portable slit lamp and a direct ophthalmoscope respectively. Binocularity was assessed with a cover test at a distance and near targets and the Hirschberg corneal reflex. The refractive status of the eyes was assessed by performing static retinoscopy. All the data was analyzed according to sex, age, causes of visual impairment and types of ocular morbidity.
Results: Among the total 393preschool children screened, 169 children were boys and 224 were girls. The prevalence of ocular morbidity was found to be 20.1 %. Refractive error was the most common cause of visual impairment which was seen in 14.7% of children. The overall prevalence of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism was 7.9%, 4.8%, and 2.1% respectively. The other types of ocular morbidities were strabismus in 1.3%, congenital cataract in 1%, conjunctivitis in 1%, chalazion in 1.3%, vernal keratoconjunctivitis in 1% and congenital ptosis in 0.6%.
Conclusion: The relatively high prevalence of refractive error and occurrence of other ocular morbidities in our studied population suggests that there is a need for a large-scale community-based preschool screening program in Nepal so that affected preschool children can be identified early and appropriate treatment can be promptly started.

Introduction: There is diverse evidence regarding the maternal and fetal effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in pregnancy.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of COVID-19 in mother and fetus during pregnancy.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during the second wave of COVID-19 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital from April 3 to July 3, 2021. All pregnant women admitted in the antenatal ward were sent real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The patients with RT-PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled in the study and followed up until discharged.
Results: The COVID-19 positivity rate was 18.0%.The mean age was 24.38 years. Majority of the patients were asymptomatic (79.7%) Among symptomatic patients, 73.3% had fever and respiratory symptoms and 95.9% of women didn't give any history of contact with COVID-19 patients. After confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, all pregnant women were immediately shifted to COVID ward, another COVID hospital or advised home isolation. Only one patient had pre-existing hypertension. Among the pregnancy complications, preterm labour was seen in 12.2% followed by premature rupture of membranes in 6.8 %, fetal distress in 5.4%, and still birth in 2.7% of the pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The minimum days of hospital stay was one and maximum days of hospital stay were 29 days. Average days of hospital stays was 2.24 days. Only 5.4% of patients who had severe disease required an intensive care unit (ICU) and one patient needed a mechanical ventilator. There was one maternal mortality due to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Conclusion: Symptom, clinical course and severity of COVID-19 in pregnancy is comparable with non-pregnant women with COVID-19 but associated with increases the risk of Preterm labour, Premature rupture of membranes, foetal distress and stillbirth.
