Follow-up and transition practices in esophageal atresia: a review of European Reference Network on rare Inherited and Congenital Anomalies (ERNICA) centres and affiliates

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to understand the provision and distribution of esophageal atresia (EA) follow-up (FU) and transition services across European Reference Network for rare Inherited and Congenital Anomalies (ERNICA) member and affiliate centers.MethodsA REDCap questionnaire was sent to clinical leads of 18 ERNICA members and 14 affiliate centers.Results29 of 32 centers responded (91%), the majority of which were highly specialized. Two-thirds had a dedicated EA clinic with a specialist multi-disciplinary team (MDT), offered to selected/complex patients only in 40% of centers. ERNICA centers were more likely to offer an MDT FU clinic than affiliates, with lack of resources most cited as a barrier to uptake (67%). Delivery of routine investigations was heterogeneous, particularly provision of three endoscopies over the course of FU (24%). Only 55% had a dedicated transition pathway, more prevalent in ERNICA centers (81% vs. 30%; p < 0.01). Self-reported awareness of ERNICA and European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) guidance for FU and transition was poor (28%).ConclusionDespite the existence of European follow-up and transition guidelines, their delivery is not uniform and may be limited by lack of awareness of the guidelines and a lack of resources.

HIV seropositive disclosure and associated factors among adult HIV positive clients in public health facilities in East Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State, Western Ethiopia.

Disclosure of HIV-seropositive is important for HIV prevention and maintenance of health for people living with HIV and the community at large. Although HIV seropositive disclosure is mandatory for access to care and treatment, there is a paucity of data in the study setting. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of HIV Sero Positive Disclosure and associated factors among adult HIV positive clients in public health facilities in the east wollega zone, Oromia Regional State, Western Ethiopia, in 2023. A facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 250 adult HIV-positive clients in public health facilities in East Wollega Zone. Systematic sampling was used to select the study participants. Data were collected from February 1 to April 15, 2023, using a structured, pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire and reviewing patient cards using a checklist. Data were entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. In bivariable analyses, variables with a P-value <0.25 were candidates for the multivariable model; in the multivariable model, significant associations were declared at a P-value < 0.05 and reported by an adjusted odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval. The magnitude of HIV seropositive disclosure to at least one person was found to be 68.2% (95%CI = 62.5%, 73.9%). HIV seropositive disclosure was significantly associated with being married ((AOR = 5.47, 95%CI: 2.87-10.43), low knowledge level (AOR = 0.095, 95% CI = 0.017-0.54), and perceived community discrimination (AOR = 0.192, 95% CI = 0.050, 0.74). This study reveals that HIV seropositive disclosure was low among the adult population living in the study area as compared to the other study findings. Disclosure of seropositives was significantly associated with marital status, knowledge level about the importance of disclosure, and perceived discrimination in societies. Healthcare providers and HIV prevention programme planners should provide health education about the importance of HIV disclosure and the stigma against HIV-positive patients by increasing society's awareness through appropriate channels.

Deconstructing 'Greenwashing' and 'Anti-Greenwashing' in Corporate ESG Investments: Based on Behavioral Identification, Motivation Analysis and Effect Evaluation

Abstract: With the increasing corporate attention to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), some companies that do not have ESG investment strengths have also joined the ESG practice. As firms intensively integrate ESG into their operational ethos, discrepancies between proclaimed and actual ESG commitments have given rise to "greenwashing" behaviors. At present, China's research on corporate "greenwashing" is still in its infancy, and it is difficult to accurately identify corporate "greenwashing" behaviors and clarify their motives and impacts, so as to achieve the "anti-greenwashing" effect of precise governance. This paper examines the manifestations, motivations, and effects of "greenwashing" through actual case studies as well as theoretical and comparative literature research in order to propose a comprehensive framework for analyzing the nature of "greenwashing." To counteract "greenwashing," the paper combines the reality of problems to extract the insights and shortcomings of the existing research and propose multi-tiered strategies tailored to policy, corporate, and societal levels to look forward to the direction of future research on "anti-greenwashing." The aim of this paper is to promote the development of "greenwash" research and strengthen the society's awareness of "greenwash" behavior and the understanding of corporate ESG behavior, underscores the theoretical and practical significance of addressing "greenwashing." It calls for sustained research to optimize the ESG investment landscape.

ESG risk management in banks – towards its measurement

The concept of sustainable development has been gaining importance and increasing society's awareness of the need to stop climate change, inequality, social exclusion, and inappropriate corporate practices. Banks increasingly integrate ESG objectives into their business activity. However, it is associated with their exposure to a new type of risk – the ESG risk. ESG risk management for banking institutions has now become not only a fashion and trend but an obligation that they have to fulfil. The main aim of the article is to identify ESG risk and methods of quantification, as well as to assess the exposure to ESG risk of commercial banks in Poland. That’s why the paper presents an in-depth literature review in the field of ESG concept and ESG risk in banks. Then, it describes the adopted methodology of the empirical research. The third section covers a presentation of the obtained results, which include the analysis of ESG risk exposure of the largest banks in the world and selected commercial banks in Poland, mainly based on the volume of the carbon footprint they generate and finally, ESG risk ratings for Polish banks. The following research methods were used in the article: literature studies, case study analysis, observation methods and synthesis methods. The empirical research that was conducted allowed the verification of the research hypothesis, stating that commercial banks in Poland are aware of the need to measure and monitor ESG risk increases. The research indicated that some of the banks in Poland are at an advanced stage of ESG risk management, while the rest of them are just starting their activities in this area. Currently, banks' involvement in ESG issues globally is one of the leading market trends. It becomes not only an option but an imperative for institutions wishing to maintain their market position. Therefore, commercial banks in Poland can and should participate in the implementation of sustainable development assumptions in the coming years.

Exploring print media coverage of elite athletes' mental illness between 2010 and 2023 in Germany: a quantitative content analysis.

Recently, the stereotype of elite athletes' invulnerabilty has begun to be challenged by an increasing number of elite athletes who talk openly about struggling with mental health. Relatedly, previous research has focused primarily on specific incidents like the media's portrayal of personal disclosures. The purpose of this study was to expand this perspective and give a systematic overview of media coverage related to elite athletes' mental illness by examining more than one decade (2010-2023) of German print media reporting. Specifically, we were interested in changes over time and between broadsheet and tabloid press regarding content-related and formal aspects. Based on a systematic search and screening process in eleven German newspapers and magazines, 699 print media articles were analyzed with a codebook, forming a framework of content-related (reported mental disorder; central thematic focus; sources of comments and quotations; perspectives on the high-performance sports system) and formal categories (article genre; elements of responsible journalism). Univariate analyses and binary logistic regression models were used to examine changes over time (2010-2016 vs. 2017-2023) and differences between types of press (tabloid vs. broadsheet press) regarding content-related and formal characteristics. The results indicate an enhanced awareness towards the topic of mental illness and those affected in recent years within German print media. This was demonstrated by the increased integration of responsible reporting elements, the inclusion of diversified perspectives and the considerate selection of content. Despite this positive trend over time, the findings also suggest that media reporting in the tabloid press bears an increased risk for inappropriate storytelling, focusing primarily on personal tragedies. As personal fate of prominent figures like elite athletes will always meet great interest in the public, it is of utmost importance that the media report responsibly and promote critical thinking in society. The study shows the media's willingness to question conventional ideals embedded in the sports culture and take a more critical approach to the topic of mental illness in high-performance sports. By demonstrating a greater understanding of the importance and the seriousness of the issue, the media might also contribute to improved mental health awareness in society.

Newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency in Malaysia: current status, challenges and progress.

Early diagnosis of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) increases survival outcomes and quality of life while significantly minimizing healthcare burden and costs. Despite growing evidence supporting the benefits and cost-effectiveness of SCID detection through newborn screening (NBS), it has yet to be implemented in Malaysia. This study aims to explore experts' opinions on the current status, challenges, and crucial strategies needed for the successful implementation of SCID NBS. A guided, structured interview was employed to explore opinions on the current status, barriers, and strategies for implementing SCID NBS in Malaysia. All 13 invited experts participated in this study, indicating complete participation from the entire Malaysian immunology fraternity (consisting of eight clinical immunologists and five immunopathologists). Several initiatives are ongoing to establish SCID NBS in Malaysia. Hindrances such as low immunologist-to-patient ratio, unequal placements of immunologists throughout Malaysia, society's low disease awareness, national health prioritization, lack of stakeholder engagement, and inadequacy of local study/data were highlighted. Pilot research on SCID NBS, advocacy workshops, and promotion materials are among the ongoing activities outlined in the blueprint, paving the way for this nationwide NBS program to be achievable in the near future. This article provides recommendations to policymakers in mandating SCID NBS. Strategies by key stakeholders are underway, particularly in advocacy programs and efforts to increase awareness among clinicians and the public.

Determinants and levels of depression among young adult patients with epilepsy: a cross-sectional study in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Tamilnadu, India

Background: People with epilepsy tend to have more psychological problems, including anxiety and depression. Similarly, a three times higher risk of premature death was prevailed (or expected) in people with epilepsy than that in the general population. The main objective of this study is to analyze the determinants and the levels of depression in young adult patients with epilepsy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care medical hospital and research center, in Chennai, Tamilnadu. Forty-one young adults aged 18–25 years with a diagnosis of epilepsy willing to participate were included based on inclusive criteria. A general information questionnaire and Zung self-rating depression scale (SRDS) were used to analyze the study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and evaluated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software to test the P-value significance. Results: 39.0% of patients felt downhearted or blue most of the time. The majority of male (44.4%) and female (85.8%) patients stated that they were in moderate depression (the score range was from 60 to 69). There was an association between variables of age groups, family income, number of comorbidities, and last episode of seizure with the level of depression among young adult patients significant at, P-value &lt; 0.01. Conclusion: This study revealed that to remove the stigma of epilepsy, raising awareness in society and educational campaigns about epilepsy may be helpful. Thus, efforts should be undertaken to control seizures, reduce depression, and improve the overall quality of life of young adult patients.

Propaganda of legal knowledge about Kazakhstan citizenship

In the article problematic issues surrounding the promotion of legal knowledge regarding Kazakhstan citizenship were considered, recognizing citizenship as a fundamental legal institution shaping modern Kazakhstan society's statehood. The research conducts a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of the theory and practice of disseminating legal knowledge about citizenship, aiming to identify solutions to normative consolidation challenges. Through a combination of general scientific and specialized legal methods, including analysis and theoretical generalization, as well as an examination of legal norms on citizenship, the study identifies the main trends in improving legal knowledge about citizenship. The main research outcome underscores the necessity to enhance legal measures aimed at expanding the use of forms and methods for disseminating legal knowledge about Kazakhstan citizenship. As a result, the article proposes supplementing citizenship legislation with norms mandating government bodies to provide information and advice on citizenship issues. It suggests widening public awareness about the importance of citizenship as a legal institution and supplementing political and legal acts with provisions to increase Kazakhstani society's awareness of citizenship.

Factors of the deviant behaviour in a legal conscious society

The article examines the ontology of factors that determine the emergence and development of deviant behaviour. Given the diversity of the concept of deviance, this social phenomenon is comprehensively studied. Based on the results of the study, an ontology of this phenomenon has been developed. Deviant behaviour is a type of social behaviour contrary to the established rules that exist in society. It is unacceptable for society and the State, violates their interests, norms of morality, ethics, law, etc. The author considers deviant behaviour in the context of unlawfulness of an act, i.e. in the context of legal norms violation existing in society and the State. Another component of the issue under study is legal consciousness, which plays an important role, since it is a factor of deterrence from unlawfulness. The opinions of the scholars are analysed, and a conclusion is made regarding the definition of the concept of “legal consciousness”. Legal consciousness is a form of social consciousness which consists in the ability of a person to understand the existence of legal norms, the need for their observance and implementation. The level of legal awareness determines the potential for a person to commit unlawful behaviour. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate level of legal awareness in society in order to reduce the number of cases of unlawful behaviour. This raises the question of identifying the factors that influence the emergence of deviant behaviour. Given that a person is a social being who interacts with other people, one of the factors influencing him or her is the social environment in which he or she lives (family, friends, colleagues, etc.). In addition, human consciousness is influenced by the information field, i.e. the media. Thus, society and the state's information policy are among the main factors influencing people. Human behaviour is formed depending on the information that influences it, and such information is formed on the basis of the effectiveness of compliance with the law by the authorities and their authority in society.

THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF ECOLOGICAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The state of development of ecological business in Ukraine today is characterized by a gradual increase in interest in sustainable development and the introduction of green technologies. The main obstacles remain imperfect legislation, lack of state support and funding, lack of proper infrastructure and insufficient level of environmental awareness among the population. In this context, there is also a need to develop theoretical and conceptual foundations that will help to clearly define approaches, principles and models of ecological business development. The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the development of ecological business. The current state of development of ecological business in Ukraine is analyzed. It is noted that the development of ecological business is of key importance for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, as it contributes to the creation of a sustainable and environmentally responsible economy. It has been established that the development of ecological business can help Ukraine adapt to new international standards and requirements for sustainable development, which will contribute to the country's integration into global economic processes. The necessity and importance of researching the theoretical foundations of ecological business development in the context of the domestic economy has been proven. The components of the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the formation and development of ecological business are defined and revealed. The prospects for the development of ecological business in Ukraine are analyzed. Thus, ecological business is based on several key theoretical foundations, including the concept of sustainable development, the theory of natural capital, and the circular economy model. The conceptual foundations of the development of ecological business include the principles of ecological management, innovativeness and ecological technologies, as well as social responsibility of business. It is noted that for the further development of ecological business in Ukraine, a clear strategy is needed, which will include stimulating investments, improving legislation, developing infrastructure and increasing environmental awareness of society.

Pencegahan Pernikahan Dini: Strategi Membangun Kesadaran Hukum untuk Mewujudkan Masa Depan Lebih Baik

Marriage at an early age is a phenomenon that is still happening in the Long Sand Village, the Eastern Mempawah district, the district of Mempawha, and areas with low educational and economic levels. Early marriages have a wide range of negative effects, both in terms of health, psychology, and society. Lack of legal understanding of the age limit for marriage and its legal consequences are often the main cause. Therefore, increased legal awareness in society has become crucial to reducing the number of early marriages. This dedication is aimed at raising public awareness and understanding of the law relating to marriage at an early age, as well as providing education on the negative impact of early marriage and the importance of postponing marriage to a more mature age. The dedication takes place through several stages, namely an initial survey to measure the level of public understanding, socialization, and education through workshops, and targeted group discussions. In addition, legal support services and advice are provided for families vulnerable to early marriage. The activity has been successful in raising awareness and understanding of the law amongst the public, especially regarding the age limit for marriage and the negative impact of early marriage. The active participation of adolescents and parents in the discussion indicates a change in attitude and increased commitment to postponing early marriages. Evaluations through post-activity questionnaires show a significant improvement in legal understanding and awareness of the importance of education and self-development for adolescents.

Heritage Education as a Tool of Social, Ethnic, and Religious Cohesion in Iraq: Empirical Insights

ABSTRACT While the politicization of cultural heritage in Iraq is widely covered by research, little attention is dedicated to how exactly heritage education has been implemented, the knowledge gap this article aims to address. Focusing on the methods employed to educate an average citizen in cultural heritage (how) rather than on the motivation behind them (why), the article unveils novel empirical data drawn from 25 oral history interviews with Iraqi heritage-sector stakeholders demonstrating several important findings. First, a profound gap emerges between cultural awareness levels in pre-1990 and contemporary Iraqi society. Second, the data allows us to identify 12 categories of pre-1990 heritage education strategies, nearly all of which are currently missing or slowly being revived. Third, the respondents disclose a strong reliance on heritage education potential for raising cultural awareness in the sectarianism-torn society. Finally, the article suggests a holistic and inclusive heritage education methodology as a tool of social, ethnic, and religious cohesion in Iraq.

The The Influence of Financial Literacy, Risk Perception, Herding, Loss Aversion, Anchoring, And Income on Gold Investment Decisions at PT. Pegadaian (Persero)

The investment interest in Indonesia is rising in line with the society's awareness on the benefit of investment, especially gold investment. Investors act rationally or irrationally in making investment decisions. The aim of this research is to study the effect of financial literacy, risk perception, herding, loss aversion, anchoring and income to the decision of gold investment at PT. Pegadaian. This is a quantity experiment with the customer of PT. Pegadaian who used the gold investment as a population and sample of this research. Using the accidental sampling technique, there are 100 respondents. Data collection using a direct and online questionnaire. The Structural equation model partial least square method with the SmartPLS 3.0 software used to analyze the data collected. The results show that financial literacy affects investment decisions. Respondents have a fairly high level of education and moderately high association of financial literacy. While the risk perception, herding, loss aversion, anchoring and income are not affecting the investment decisions.

BEDAWANG NALA: ARTISTIC INSPIRATION FOR A FICTION FILM TO STRENGTHEN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AWARENESS

This research explores the philosophical and symbolic value of Bedawang Nala in Balinese architectural art and the development of its narrative in fiction films based on Hindu mythology. Bedawang Nala, depicted as a giant fire-haired turtle with dragons Anantabhoga and Basuki, reflects cosmic balance and natural harmony in Tri Hita Karana. This qualitative research uses an interdisciplinary perspective involving the views of cultural studies and the creativity of film art creation. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews to explore the meaning and connection of the Bedawang Nala concept with environmental themes, audiovisual observations of traditional Balinese architecture, and literature studies on Bedawang Nala and ecological issues. Data were analyzed using interview transcript interpretation techniques to identify main themes related to the philosophical and symbolic values of Bedawang Nala, audiovisual analysis, and literature synthesis that connects findings from interviews and observations with current discussions about ecological education. The findings show that the Bedawang Nala mythology is not just an aesthetic ornament but has an educational value relevant to contemporary environmental issues. The development of this mythology-based film narrative can be an effective academic and cultural reflection tool, strengthening ecological awareness in society. This research suggests making and evaluating films based on Bedawang Nala and exploring other local mythologies to increase the educational impact and environmental awareness through film media.

Capability lignin from Acacia crassicarpa black liquor as an environmentally benign antibacterial agent to produce antibacterial and hydrophobic textiles

Recently, the growing health awareness of society on the utilization of fabrics has led to an increasing demand for natural-based antibacterial textiles. Lignin, a generous polyphenol compound in nature, is capable of preventing bacterial growth; in particular, it dwells bacteria closely together on human skin, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium acnes, and Staphylococcus aureus. However, the antibacterial properties of lignin are limited by factors such as the lignin concentration, source, and type of bacteria. This study aimed to evaluate the potency of lignin as an antibacterial agent for textiles. Moreover, the thermal properties and wettability of the textile after lignin coating were also investigated. This study showed that lignin isolation methods significantly contributed to the inhibition of bacterial growth in the clear zone diameter. In addition, the lignin structure, lignin concentration, and type of bacteria had notably different antibacterial effects. SEM images showed that lignin was successfully coated on the fiber, and the antibacterial textile was successfully fabricated with clear zones in the range of 0.1–0.5 cm against four different bacteria. Lignin did not significantly improve the thermal stability of the textile, as proven by the TGA results. After the HDTMS coating by dispersion method, the wettability of the lignin-textile improved to that of the hydrophobic material, with a contact angle greater than 119.05° with excellent antibacterial properties (clear zone of 0.1–0.43 cm).

The Women’s Leadership: Orientation from a Legal and Islamic Sharia Perspective

Women’s leadership in the political dimension is an interesting study because even though Indonesia has substantially regulated women’s leadership, in practice women’s leadership has not been implemented optimally. This research aims to answer two legal issues, namely the legal political orientation related to women’s leadership in politics in Indonesia, as well as the perspective of Islamic law related to women’s leadership in politics in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research with a conceptual and statutory approach. The research results confirm that the problems regarding legal politics for women to hold political positions are more related to aspects of legal culture and collective understanding of society. This emphasizes that legal politics related to the role and orientation of women’s leadership in the world of politics must receive optimal understanding and awareness in society so that women get more portions and roles to occupy political positions in proportion to men’s political leadership. Apart from that, from the perspective of Islamic Sharia regarding women’s leadership in politics in Indonesia, there is actually no definite prohibition (qath’i) that prohibits women from becoming political leaders. Therefore, referring to the Maqashid Asy-Syariah aspect, it refers to the development of time and culture, especially when women also have the same opportunities to receive education so that they have the same potential to become political leaders as men.

Serum Paraoxonase Activity and Phenotype Distribution in Covid-19 Patients

Objective: For the phenotype classification, it is important to determine the relationship between enzyme activity and the severity of the COVID-19 disease. Reaching significant differences between healthy and infected individuals in terms of genotype and allele distributions may be a guide in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between serum arylesterase PON1 enzyme activity and disease severity in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Patients over the age of 18 who applied to the Emergency Service between 01-30 April 2020 and were examined with a preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 were included in the study. In the study, serum PON1 activity was measured in the venous blood of 56 patients diagnosed with Covid-19 disease by either CT or RT-PCR and who have not received any systemic treatment yet. Results: The Arylesterase (AREase) and Paraoxonase (POase) activity levels of the study and control groups were 131.49 ± 52.75 kU/L 142.29 ± 38.82 kU/L, 276.48 ± 220.4 U/L 505.30 ± 301.4 U/L, respectively. It was found that 64.3 % of those infected with Covid-19 had the low-activity PON1 phenotype (p= 0.007) Conclusion: Genetic variability in PON1 may be associated with exposure to or risk of developing the disease. As a result, vaccination of individuals with low activity phenotype can be given priority at the vaccination stage in order to reduce the mortality rate in the fight against the pandemic. Awareness and protection measures of societies with low activity phenotypes can be increased.

Reviewing the benefits and clinical outcomes of oral fibroblasts over mesenchymal stem cells for repairing periodontal defects during or after orthodontic tooth movement.

Orthodontic therapy applies forces to teeth, causing an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. This is repaired by remodeling of the periodontium, allowing tooth displacement. Although orthodontic therapy is mostly initiated during childhood and adolescence, the number of adults seeking this treatment is increasing as our society's esthetic awareness rises. However, adults may already have periodontal tissue abnormalities, rendering orthodontic treatment inefficient because a healthy periodontium is essential for success. Numerous risk factors have been linked to periodontal lesions, with orthodontic tooth movement possibly playing a minimal influence. Although such tissue damages are mostly of esthetic rather than functional concern for patients, restoration frequently requires invasive procedures. Autologous cells for the treatment of periodontal complications have grown in popularity as a less intrusive alternative. The present review analyzed the literature on the use of mesenchymal stem cells and oral tissue-derived fibroblasts for the healing of periodontal defects that may be related to orthodontic tooth movement. Furthermore, the advantages and challenges of the two cell types have been examined. Although the number of clinical studies is currently limited, our study demonstrates that oral fibroblasts have the potential to be the next emergent frontrunners for tissue engineering in the periodontium.
