A relatively new field of research is the relationship between colorectal cancer (CRC) and the gut microbiota.This is a novel approach: using gut microbiota modification to reverse microbial dysbiosis and possibly prevent or treat colorectal cancer.In this context, a number of approaches have been used, such as the use of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, antibiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).It is crucial to recognize t he risks and controversies associated with these strategies, which may cause clinical complications, despite their promising results in improving gut barrier function, correcting microbiota composition, modulating the natural immune system, avoiding pathogen colonization, and exerting specific cytotoxicity against tumor cells.Therefore, a thorough assessment of the risk-benefit ratio and patient selection is essential for the translation of bench to bedside research.The creation of tailored microbiome therapy is essential for effective clinical treatment because it takes into account the unique response that every person has to gut microbiota intervention.
In order to advance the notion that young children and their families have a role to play in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, the Early Childhood Peace Consortium (ECPC) is pleased to introduce its first publication “Contributions of Early Childhood Development Programming to Promoting Peace and Sustainable Development”. This concept paper summarizes and combines evidence from developmental psychology, health and nutrition, with lessons learned from the peacebuilding and social services administration sectors. The paper will help practitioners appreciate how ECD services can prevent and mitigate conflict between individuals and among groups. This background paper thereby follows in the footsteps of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which acknowledges that “there can be no sustainable development without peace, and no peace without sustainable development.” It exemplifies the role of ECD in supporting the achievement of the SDGs, and in particular Goal 16. The concepts described in the paper align with recent directions in peacebuilding that aim to operationalize socio-economic development interventions so that they simultaneously transform relationships and build social support networks capable of mitigating violent conflict risks.

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, by contrast to the Millennium Development Goals, provides a global policy framework to address the quality of life of beneficiaries of the remarkable reduction in mortality in those younger than 5 years since the child survival revolution began in 1982.1 The SDGs explicitly commit all governments and the global health community to actions that will “ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education”.

Executive Functions (EFs) are a mental process dealing with organizing of ideas, \nfeelings and actions, thoughtful thinking, emotional control,cognitive flexibility,setting goals, \nplanning, engaging, remembering, and executing information effectively, prioritizing things and \nworking step by step to achieve success. EFs skills are more important than IQ and EQ. This \n2-6 year period is an important time to develop EFs skills for children, which includes 5 skills. \n1) memory used 2) restraint 3) flexibility 4) emotional control 5) planning and organizing. \nThis is the basis of the skills that every human being must use and influence life success.

The purpose of this academic article is to present the selection of storybooks for early childhood children, which must consider the ability to promote the development and imagination of early childhood children, and must consider children of each age who are able to receive knowledge and interests are different, because fairy tales are considered an important helper for parents and teachers in raising early childhood children, because in addition to providing fun, fables also provide knowledge and ideas that include morals and ethics. It is crucial to consider a child's age, interest, perception, and skill when determining whether or not a fairy tale is acceptable for young children. As a result, there is a genuine advantage to children's learning in that they will start to identify tales from seen sights and heard sounds as they gradually come to understand the meaning of the words until they can connect the two. In addition to learning the facts and tales that make the literature interesting to read, memorize them. As a result, selecting tales to help young children develop their skills will also strengthen their relationships with their parents and teachers, who have been telling tales to children since they were still in the womb. Additionally, selecting tales that are age-appropriate will be able to effectively support the development of the kids in all areas.

BACKGROUND: Nigeria has a high proportion of the world's underimmunised children. We estimated the inequities in childhood immunisation coverage associated with socioeconomic, geographic, maternal, child, and healthcare characteristics among children aged 12-23 months in Nigeria using a social determinants of health perspective. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review to identify the social determinants of childhood immunisation associated with inequities in vaccination coverage among low- and middle-income countries. Using the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), we conducted multiple logistic regression to estimate the association between basic childhood vaccination coverage (1-dose BCG, 3-dose DTP-HepB-Hib (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B), 3-dose polio, and 1-dose measles) and socioeconomic, geographic, maternal, child, and healthcare characteristics in Nigeria. RESULTS: From the systematic review, we identified the key determinants of immunisation to be household wealth, religion, and ethnicity for socioeconomic characteristics; region and place of residence for geographic characteristics; maternal age at birth, maternal education, and household head status for maternal characteristics; sex of child and birth order for child characteristics; and antenatal care and birth setting for healthcare characteristics. Based of the 2018 Nigeria DHS analysis of 6,059 children aged 12-23 months, we estimated that basic vaccination coverage was 31% (95% CI: 29-33) among children aged 12-23 months, whilst 19% (95% CI:18-21) of them were zero-dose children who had received none of the basic vaccines. After controlling for background characteristics, there was a significant increase in the odds of basic vaccination by household wealth (AOR: 3.21 (2.06, 5.00), p < 0.001) for the wealthiest quintile compared to the poorest quintile, antenatal care of four or more antenatal care visits compared to no antenatal care (AOR: 2.87 (2.21, 3.72), p < 0.001), delivery in a health facility compared to home births (AOR 1.32 (1.08, 1.61), p = 0.006), relatively older maternal age of 35-49 years compared to 15-19 years (AOR: 2.25 (1.46, 3.49), p < 0.001), and maternal education of secondary or higher education compared to no formal education (AOR: 1.79 (1.39, 2.31), p < 0.001). Children of Fulani ethnicity in comparison to children of Igbo ethnicity had lower odds of receiving basic vaccinations (AOR: 0.51 (0.26, 0.97), p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS: Basic vaccination coverage is below target levels for all groups. Children from the poorest households, of Fulani ethnicity, who were born in home settings, and with young mothers with no formal education nor antenatal care, were associated with lower odds of basic vaccination in Nigeria. We recommend a proportionate universalism approach for addressing the immunisation barriers in the National Programme on Immunization of Nigeria.

Purpose: This study examines the challenges of early childhood development in the digital screen era at Al A'raaf Islamic Kindergarten. The purpose of this study is to determine the challenges of early childhood development in the digital screen era. Methodology: The research method used a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative model. Data were collected through observation and interviews with 5 teachers and 5 parents at Al A'raaf Islamic Kindergarten. Data analysis techniques used three steps, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Results: The results showed changes in motor, cognitive, language, and social-emotional aspects, such as poor motor coordination, low concentration, delayed speech, decreased emotional control, and limited interaction with friends.Applications/Originality/Value: Not only were there negative effects, but there were also positive effects, namely that children could easily recognize colors, letters, and numbers and enrich their vocabulary if digital screens were used according to rules and age appropriateness. It can be concluded that there are not only negative effects, but digital screens can also have positive effects if accompanied by time management, parental guidance, and quality content.

This dataset was produced within the ECD-FI (Early Childhood Development Friendly Index) project (IMAPI - in Portuguese) between 2018-2020. It contains the list of all 5,570 Brazilian municipalities codes, a general performance index (IMAPI), and five indices related to each domain of the Nurturing Care Framework: Good Health, Adequate Nutrition, Responsive Caregiving, Opportunities for Early Learning, and Security and Safety. These indices were calculated based on 31 main indicators (spanning the five domains) and 13 additional indicators, based on 2016 values and following a rigorous process involving data acquisition and engineering, weighting scores, and validation by domain experts. IMAPI is intended to be used as a supportive tool for assessing the performance of each Brazilian in relation to the offering of an adequate environment for early childhood development.
