Currently, the trend of globalization, regionalization and international economic integration has been having a strong impact on the cultural life of our country. Globalization and regionalization is an objective trend that has both positive and negative aspects affecting the national culture. We resolutely oppose the imposition of cultural values, ethics, lifestyle in the way of “Europeanization, Americanization”. On the other hand, we need to actively study and absorb positive values, the quintessence of human culture to enrich ourselves, avoid closed-minded, xenophobic. The view that culture is considered a resource for socio-economic development is a scientific, modern and highly practical view, especially in the period of accelerating industrialization associated with the knowledge economy and integration. international today. We must pay special attention to enhancing the vision and culture in the guidelines and policies of the Party and State in all different fields. Deep understanding of the era and the nation is an important starting point for us to make the right policy and action. The article mentions the views of the Party on building and developing an advanced culture imbued with national identity; direction of cultural construction and development; At the same time, he mentioned the basic tasks in the process of building and developing the cause of cultural development in our country.

Ginger has potent values as a medicinal plant which originated from China and India. Currently there is a renewed interest in ginger because of its various active pharmacological ingredients including gingerols, beta-carotene, capsaicin, caffeic acid, curcumin, and salicylate making it a potential source of research to use as a drug. The present study was aimed at extraction of ginger root extract in acetone and methanol solvents by Soxhlet extraction method, screening of phytochemical constituents of ginger extract in acetone and methanol and evaluation of its antimicrobial activity against known pathogenic microorganism.

This study evaluated the effect of father's feeding practices on biochemical and haematological parameters in children under five in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study design was used and a structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of 150 fathers. Haematological and biochemical parameters of the children were also determined. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data obtained. Data of biochemical and haematological parameters were subjected to one way analysis of variance and significant difference was established at P˂ 0.05. The results revealed a significant association between father's feeding practices and biochemical and haematological parameters in children under five in Birnin Kebbi. The study concluded that there is a need for health education programs to be designed to improve the feeding practices of fathers in order to improve the biochemical and haematological parameters of the children. This study contributes to the literature on the importance of fathers’ feeding practices in the health and wellbeing of children, particularly in developing countries.

Introduction: Anemia remains a public health problem in both industrialized and developing countries. Developing countries have the highest prevalence, especially in children. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anaemia in children aged 2-59 months in the paediatric ward of the commune II health centre in Bamako. Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study which took place from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018, i.e. a period of 2 years. All children aged 2 months to 59 months hospitalised with clinical anaemia who had a blood count or haemoglobin and/or haematocrit measurement hospitalised in the paediatric ward during the study period were included. Anemia was defined according to WHO criteria. The etiological search was guided by clinical signs and complementary examinations. Results: The prevalence of anaemia was 16.63%. The age group 12 to 23 months was the most represented. The children were predominantly male (56%). The anaemia was severe in 50%, moderate and mild in 50%. The anaemia was predominantly microcytic and hypochromic in 68%. Fever was the first reason for consultation in 75% and malaria was the main pathology in 56%. The mortality rate of anaemic patients was 3%. Conclusion: Anemia is a real problem among children in commune II. The main etiology was malaria. Strengthening malaria prevention could reduce its incidence.

Introduction: Psychosocial factors, such as stress, adversity, socioeconomic status, depression, and anxiety, are associated with overall health and with cardiovascular health in particular. Psychosocial risk factors have been frequently studied in relation to coronary heart disease. In observational studies, high levels of depression and anxiety have consistently been associated with incident coronary heart disease, whereas associations with hostility and social support have been mixed. However, psychosocial factors have been examined less often in HF. Among patients with HF, depression is the most commonly researched psychosocial risk factor. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to determine the psychosocial antecedents to precipitation of congestive heart failure in cardiac patients. Methods: This was a prospective study and was conducted in the Department of Cardiology of Lugansk State Medical University (LSMU), Hospital No-01, Lugansk, Ukraine during the period from November, 2008 to September 2009. We included 120 patients with heart disease in our study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups – HF group (Patients who hadn’t any heart failure, n=60) and No-HF group (Patients who had heart failure, n=60) Result: In total 120 patients from both the groups completed the study. In our study we found majority (35.83%) of our patients were aged 61-70 years and most of our patients were female (62%) compared to male (38%). We found the mean age was 49.73 ± 8.9 years. Among all patients 76.67% were smoker, 70% had DM, 80% had history of hypertension, 31.67% had asthma, 59.17% had previous history of CVD and the mean duration of CVD was 3.29±2.41 years. The mean BMI was 27.67±4.24 kg/m2. TC, HDL & LDL was higher in no-HF group which indicates a lower risk of heart disease while Tg was higher in HF group indicating a great risk of heart disease. We also found CRP , albumin & fibrinogen was higher in HF group that indicates a greater risk of heart disease. Among all psychosocial factors, anger, anxiety, depressive symptoms, hostility and self-reported health were found higher in HF group compared to no-HF group. Conclusion: In our study, we found statistically significant relationships between psychosocial factors and incident HF. However, adverse levels of psychosocial factors played a role to be an indicator of HF development among cardiac patients. We found psychosocial risk factors such as anger, anxiety, depressive symptoms, hostility and self-reported health as an indicator of congestive heart failure among our cardiac patients.

The name ichthyosis comes from the Greek word for "fish" because sufferers can have dry, scaly skin. The HARLEQUIN Baby disease or congenital ichthyosis of the Harlequin fetus type is an orphan genetic disease that mainly affects babies and young children Harlequin Ichthyosis is a very rare genetic disease with an estimated prevalence of less than 1/1000,000 associated with significant morbidity (<50%) and mortality shortly after birth. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination (brown, scaly and very dry skin making it difficult for the baby to move), skin biopsy and analysis.

Increasing incidences of obesity are widely and significantly connected to the risks of cardiovascular/coronary heart diseases, hypertension, stroke, etc. However, prevalence of obesity contrasts by genetic, gender and inter/intra population factors. The present study thus investigated the changes in atherogenic lipid profile in obese women resident in Rivers State. A minimum sample size of 272 was determined using the Leslie Fischer's formula; precisely 334 obese and non-obese women within their 18 and 65 years of age with no critical health condition and resident in Upland and Riverine areas of Rivers State were actually surveyed by the present study. A multistage sampling technique was adopted, and subjects were recruited across the upland and riverine locations of the State. These subjects were uniformly drawn from the multi-ethnic residents of the state. Anthropometric (body mass index-BMI) data and blood sample (via antecubital vein following standard procedures) were obtained from the consenting subjects. After laboratory analyses, the numerical data were subjected to statistical analyses using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test with a p< 0.05 considered statistically significant were determined. Virtually all atherogenic lipid profile markers evaluated in the present study [TC, TG, and LDL-C, Castelli risk index (CRI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and AC atherogenic coefficient (AC)] were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the obese subjects compared to those of the non-obese. And the values were even higher in the riverine obese subjects than in those of their upland counterparts. In conclusion, the outcome of the present study indicates possible existence of intra-cultural or intra-population distinctions that may be responsible for the severer atherogenic lipid profile of the obese subjects, (particularly amongst the riverine subjects). The likely imminent grave health risks (like coronary artery diseases, cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerotic, etc.) amongst the subjects (mainly the riverine residents) must be checked and properly managed at the levels of the individual, caregiver and government/regulators, in order to consciously reduce the huge health burden of obesity in our populace.

Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that draws on insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, computer science, philosophy, and other fields. It seeks to understand how language is acquired, how it changes over time, how it varies across cultures and regions, and how it is used in different contexts and for different purposes. The publication of The Study of Language in 2022 by George Yule who was an American linguist aroused a world-wide interest among scientists, especially linguists. This article concentrates on the reviews based on the book The Study of Language written by George Yule.

This study focuses on the phenomenon of speech acts in Joe Biden’s victory speech in the US presidential election 2020. There are 30 selected utterances taken from Joe Biden’s victory speech. This study applies a qualitative method. Moreover, the data in this study are in the form of utterances which contain speech acts. The analysis begins by classifying the types of speech acts used by Joe Biden in his victory speech using Searle’s theory of speech acts (1976), and the theory of context by Brown and Yule (1983). In total there are 30 utterances; 11 utterances are representative, 7 utterances are directive, 6 utterances are commissive, 5 utterances are expressive, and 1 utterance is declarative. The second research question is to reveal the implied meanings of the speech acts used by Joe Biden in his victory speech. The results of this study show that the implied meanings from Joe Biden’s utterances in his victory speech are about the commitments he will carry out in the future and to convince the audience of his sincerity in running for president of the United States of America by presenting the great programs he will run when in office and stresses the importance of unity in building and moving the nation forward.

This study examined the impact of women's empowerment on Indonesia's economic growth, women's empowerment programs, and the forms of women's contributions to foster economic growth. The data used were the number of women’s representation in parliament, women as professionals, women’s expenditure, women's life expectancy, the percentage of women's population, and the growth rate of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in 34 provinces of Indonesia from 2017-2021. This study combined quantitative and qualitative methods. The panel data regression and fixed effect model used in the data analysis model demonstrated that the findings of life expectancy have a negative and significant impact on GRDP in 34 provinces of Indonesia. The percentage of women’s population has a negative and significant impact on the GRDP in 34 provinces of Indonesia. Women play a significant role in advancing the economy that the government remains committed to enhancing women's knowledge, skills and self-confidence through women's empowerment programs. It is envisaged that the women's empowerment program will produce excellent and high-quality human resources, which will help Indonesia's economy grow and develop.

Background: Short inter-pregnancy interval (SIPI) has been linked with low maternal haematological indices and adverse fetal outcome. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended a minimum of 24 months inter-pregnancy interval to reduce the risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. However, sub-optimal pregnancy spacing is common in many developing countries including Nigeria. Objectives: To determine the impact of inter-pregnancy interval on maternal serum ferritin, haematocrit level and fetal outcome among parturient in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. Study Design: A prospective cohort study of parturient less than 20weeks gestation. Those who did not satisfy the WHO recommended inter-pregnancy interval of at least 24months were categorized as group II while gestational age and social status matched parturient who satisfied the WHO recommendation were in group I. Methodology: A total of 316 parturient who satisfied the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study by systematic sampling. These were equal number of 158 participants each as subject and control. Subject and control were matched for gestational age and social status. The serum ferritin and haematocrit levels as well as fetal outcome were evaluated for each participant. The results were analysed using SPSS version 20.0 with appropriate tables and figures generated. Results: There was statistically significance difference in the mean levels of serum ferritin (P<0.001) and haematocrit (P<0.001) at booking for the two groups of participants. There was statistically significant difference in the gestational age at delivery (P<0.001) with higher rate of preterm delivery (22.1% vs. 1.9%; P<0.001) in group II compared to group I. In addition, there were higher percentages of group II babies with 1st (32.5% vs. 9.6%; P<0.001) and 5th minute (18.2% vs. 1.9%; P<0.001) APGAR scores < 7 compared to group I babies (P<0.001). The mean birth weight was lower in group II (2.70±0.35 vs. 3.10±0.31; P<0.001) with higher need for neonatal resuscitation (16.9% vs. 2.6%; P<0.001) and intensive care admission (18.2% vs. 1.3%; P<0.001) among neonates of women in group II. Neonatal anaemia (15.4% vs. 0.0%; P<0.001) occurred only in group II participants’ babies. Neonatal mortality was zero for group I and 18(11.7%) for group II babies. Conclusion: Inter-pregnancy interval below the WHO recommendation is associated with low maternal serum ferritin and haematocrit levels as well as adverse fetal outcome. Recommendations: Adequate child spacing should be emphasized during antenatal visits, postpartum counselling, postnatal clinic visits as well as other contacts with non-pregnant women of reproductive age.
