Prevalence and treatment patterns of dysmenorrhea among female medical students: a questionnaire based study at KIMS, Koppal

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common gynaecological condition which causes physical pain, affects mental wellbeing and quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence, severity and the treatment patterns of primary dysmenorrhea among female medical students. Methods: The present study was a prospective, questionnaire based study conducted during March-April 2020 at KIMS, Koppal. The willing participants were given a time period of 30 minutes to fill the questionnaire. Results: Among the total of 211 female medical students, 180 students were suffering from dysmenorrhea. Almost 78.3% of those suffering from dysmenorrhea belonged to the age group of 19-21 years. Most of the students suffering from dysmenorrhea achieved menarche at the age of 13-14 years. A majority (48.8%) of the dysmenorrhic females had dysmenorrhea of mild degree. 73.8% of dysmenorrhic females did not seek any medical advice for the management of the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. 76 (42.2%) of the dysmenorrhic participant females missed their classes due to the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. The most favoured drug for the management of the symptoms of dysmenorrhea was the combination of mefenamic acid and dicyclomine (56.8%). 56.6% of the subjects utilized pharmacological measures, while the rest 43.3% utilized non-pharmacological measures for the relief from the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Conclusions: The present study recognized that dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder among young females. There should be an effort at mass education of the young females regarding the management of dysmenorrhea.
Efficient Optimization of Batch Distillation with Chemical Reaction Using Polynomial Curve Fitting Techniques

A computationally efficient framework is presented for dynamic optimization of batch distillation where chemical reaction and separation take place simultaneously. An objective to maximize the conversion of the limiting reactant dynamic optimization problem (maximum conversion problem) is formulated for a representative system, and parametric solutions of the problem are obtained. Polynomial curve fitting techniques are then applied to the results of the dynamic optimization problem. These polynomials are used to formulate a nonlinear algebraic maximum profit problem which can be solved extremely efficiently using a nonlinear optimization solver. This provides an efficient framework which can be used for on-line optimization of batch distillation within scheduling programs for batch processes. The method can also be easily extended to nonreactive batch distillation and to nonconventional batch distillation columns.
First Time Around: Local Conditions and Multi-dimensional Integration of Refugees

We study the causal effect of local labor market conditions and attitudes towards immigrants at the time of arrival on refugees’ multi-dimensional integration outcomes (economic, linguistic, navigational, political, psychological, and social). Using a unique dataset on refugees, we leverage a centralized allocation policy in Germany where refugees were exogenously assigned to live in specific counties. We find that high initial local unemployment negatively affects refugees’ economic and social integration: they are less likely to be in education or employment and they earn less. We also show that favorable attitudes towards immigrants promote refugees’ economic and social integration. The results suggest that attitudes toward immigrants are as important as local unemployment rates in shaping refugees’ integration outcomes. Using a machine learning classifier algorithm, we find that our results are driven by older people and those with secondary or tertiary education. Our findings highlight the importance of both initial economic and social conditions for facilitating refugee integration, and have implications for the design of centralized allocation policies.
Will it be possible to prevent lumbar degenerative disc diseases in the future by means of vitamin D receptor gene manipulation?

It is primarily aimed to study polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor gene (VDR), which is one of the genetic factors having a role in the formation of lumbar pathologies and/or causing higher incidence of pathologic processes. Secondarily, it is aimed to create pre-data which may help professionals to administer more effective and protective interventions in this area. Without any language preference, we searched US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, Embase, OVID, Cochrane Library database of clinical trials from 1989 to Mar 11 to 2017 Mar 12, and traced all the references of incorporated documents. The data were evaluated by using descriptive statistics. Results were shown as amount or frequency (%). In literature, some vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms have been found in relation to widespread osteochondral diseases. When VDR polymorphisms, vitamin D level and intervertebral disc pathologies have been examined, a satisfactory answer to the question whether specific pathologies could be suppressed in terms of genetics has not been found. By means of this study, it would be understood the genetic factors inhibiting physio pathological process concerning lumbar degenerative disc disease or the genetic factors playing role in identifying physio pathological process related to lumbar degenerative disc disease by defining them. Accordingly, effective and contraceptive treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease might be ensured soon.

Illegal Drug offenses among Children in Batangas, Philippines: A Narrative Introspection

The increasing number of children in conflict with law (CICL) and the current move in the Philippine legislative branch to lower down the criminal liability age to 9 or 12 years old necessitates the need to reexamine why children commit crimes using a different lens. The study aimed to describe the recurring themes in the lived experiences of male and female CICL with drug-related cases and to propose a gender-responsive framework as basis for the development of programs for CICL. Using the qualitative research design, the study focused on 5 male and 3 female CICL custodies of various Bahay Pagasa in Batangas. The qualitative data were analyzed using coding and narrative analysis framework particularly following the Holistic-Content approach. The male CICL lack parental attachment and bond which has reinforced influence of delinquent peers and adoption of deviant behaviors while the absence of maternal guidance and experience of violence inside the home among female CICL has catalyzed the desire to escape and strengthen attachment to delinquent peers. Considering these, a gender-responsive framework that focuses on equality of access and opportunities as well as gender-sensitive interventions and facilities are endorsed. Keywords— Children in Conflict with Law, Illegal Drug Offenses, Gender-responsive Framework,
The Effect of Leaflet on Hypertension Knowledge in Hypertensive Patients in Community Health Center in Surabaya City

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia based on the results of a population survey up to 2018, it is known that the age of ≥18 years diagnosed by doctors is 34.1%. Increased knowledge in this study by providing educational interventions in hypertensive patients. AIM: This study aims to determine the effect of giving leaflets on the level of knowledge in hypertensive patients. METHODS: This study is a quasi-experimental study of leaflets for hypertensive patients conducted at 5 Community Health Centers in Surabaya City. The primary outcome observed was the level of knowledge between 2 groups which are the intervention group (given leaflets) and the control group (baseline). In the intervention group measuring the level of knowledge before and after 2 weeks were given the leaflet intervention. The level of knowledge was measured using the Indonesian version of the hypertension knowledge-level scale questionnaire. The leaflet used contains the definition, limits of blood pressure in hypertension, diet and lifestyle advice, and the importance of adherence to medication consumption according to the regimen recommended by doctors to control blood pressure. RESULTS: The majority of knowledge levels in the control group (32.64%) and the intervention group increased the percentage of the high level of knowledge from 13.4% to 62.89% after being given a leaflet. Based on statistical analysis, it is known that there is an effect of giving leaflets to the level of knowledge between the control and postintervention group, and pre-post intervention gave significant changes (p < 0.001). The effect of leaflets on changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was known not to provide significant changes in the control and post-intervention groups (p > 0.05), but between the preand post-intervention groups gave significant changes (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The leaflet provides a better change based on 5 indicators performance of hypertension. Edited by: Sasho Stoleski Citation: Ernawati I, Fandinata SS, Permatasari SN.

GREEN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION OF MBA STUDENTS: A MALAYSIAN STUDY

Green Entrepreneurship is an emerging phenomenon in business and academic field because it is an essential component in developing a green economy. Due to a lack of empirical study on green entrepreneurship, our current understanding of the factors that contributes to nurturing green entrepreneurial intention is limited. By employing Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study aims to explore the relationship between predictors of green entrepreneurial intention such as attitude, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and educational support to green entrepreneurial intention (GEI). The study samples 175 individual MBA students in Malaysia. The study employs Partial Least Squares – SEM to predict GEI and evaluate the contribution of each predictor in the relationships. The model explains 76.1% the variance of Green Entrepreneurial Intention with strong predictive relevance (R2=0.761, Q2=0.537). From the structural model, the beta coefficient for Perceived Attitude is 0.392, Perceived Behavioural Control is 0.399, and Perceived Educational Support is 0.169. The results imply that perceived attitude and perceived behavioural control are the key intrinsic determinants whereas education plays an instrumental role as an extrinsic determinant to individual interest to become a green entrepreneur. The main theoretical implication of this study is confirming the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behaviour in explaining GEI with additional variable, Perceived Educational Support. Practically, this research provides education practitioner and policymakers with useful insight on cultivating GEI among MBA students, and directional indication on grooming future green entrepreneurs.
GT-2002-30081 INTEGRATING THE STAGED PREVAPORIZER-PREMIXER INTO GAS TURBINE CYCLES

This paper describes a cycle analysis study on the use of the staged prevaporizer-premixer injector (SPP) in highpressure gas turbine systems fired with liquid fuel. A review of the SPP is given, including discussions of its operational concepts and previous research. The main portions of the paper consist of analyzing the use of the SPP in three different gas turbine systems: a steam-injected gas turbine (STIG) engine, a Frame H gas turbine in combined cycle, and a reheat gas turbine in combined cycle. Focus is placed on determining the effect of the SPP on cycle efficiency. In addition, SPP use in an engine conventionally recuperated by heat exchange from the exhaust gas stream to the compressor discharge air is examined. The SPP offers the potential of low NOx emissions for liquid-fired gas turbines. Because water injection is a method currently practiced for the reduction of NOx, simulations of engines without the SPP but with water injection into the combustor are also performed and comparisons are made. The simulation process is described, as are methods of how the SPP is implemented into the various engines. Results of the study are given, showing the effect of SPP use on cycle efficiency. In general, except for application to the conventionally recuperated engine, use of the SPP causes a decrease in cycle efficiency of around 1-3 percent (relative). The impact of water injection is somewhat greater, causing a 2.5-4 percent (relative) decrease in cycle efficiency. Further, the water injection does not provide as much NOx control as the lean prevaporized-premixed combustion. INTRODUCTION With environmental regulations applied to the power generation industry becoming more stringent in recent years, the importance of low-NOx combustion has increased. In combustors fired by natural gas, lean-premixed combustion is used to achieve NOx emissions typically below 25 ppmv (at 15% O2 dry), and sometimes under 10 ppmv. However, when liquid fuels such as No. 2 diesel oil are used, such low pollutant levels are difficult to reach. Water injection at the combustor can be used, of course, to lower the flame temperature and with it NOx emissions. This practice, unfortunately, has the drawbacks of decreased system efficiency and increased capital cost, and typically results in minimum NOx emissions substantially greater than 25 ppmv. Therefore, for engines fired with liquid fuels, effective prevaporizing and premixing of the fuel prior to combustion is a potentially more economically and environmentally attractive practice. An injector that performs the prevaporizing and premixing tasks, the staged prevaporizer-premixer (SPP), has been studied
Rhizophagus irregularis regulates antioxidant activity and gene expression under cadmium toxicity in Medicago sativa

Cadmium (Cd) is a phytotoxic heavy metal (HM) that can induce generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered as bio-ameliorators that help to mitigate HM-derived oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to assess AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis on changes in enzymatic activity and transcription of antioxidants of Medicago sativa to Cd stress. Increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) transcripts accumulation under Cd stress did not lead to improvement in their activities which could be related to inactivation of enzyme resulting from excess ROS or Cd binding to the active site. However, more pronouncedly enhanced the activity of CAT instead of SOD, APX and GR in the roots of M. sativa under Cd stress conditions suggested that antioxidant enzymes differed in sensitivities to Cd exposure. AMF symbiosis significantly reduced transcripts abundance of MsCu/Zn SOD and MsCAT genes compared with NM plants indicating that metal sequestration within hyphal fungi probably made Cd concentration insufficient in root cells for induction of these genes. However, GR activity was not affected by its gene expression under Cd stress. This phenomenon might be attributed to AMF-mediated post-transcription regulation. The results presented here could provide an enlightenment to capability of Cd-induced ROS-scavenging system in M. sativa colonized with R. irregularis.
Canine Mammary Gland Cancer Stem Cell and its Potential Role in Malignant Biologic Behavior

BACKGROUND: Canine mammary gland cancers are the most prevalent malignancies in dogs. There are different challenges regarding management of these cancers in dogs and human, one hypothesis is related to small cellular subset of tumor mass called cancer stem cell. These cells are therapy resistant and cause metastasis and relapse even after primary successful treatment. The well-identified phenotypes for detecting this population are ALDH1+/CD44+/CD24-/Low biomarkers. OBJECTIVES: A study to evaluate existence of cancer stem cells in canine malignant mammary glands tumor and assess effects of these cells on clinicopathological parameters of tumors were designed. METHODS: In this study forty cases of canine mammary glands tumors were collected. All cases were tested via H&E and then Immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods. All samples were evaluated immunohistochemically for common markers of these tumor-initiating cells. Monoclonal antibodies against ALDH1, CD44 and CD24 were used. Some tumor aggressiveness-related parameters, including lymphovascular invasion, tumor grades and histotypes were assessed. RESULTS: The present study revealed that 17.5% of cases were enriched with cancer stem cells and all of them were diagnosed as grade II and III (P ≤ 0.05). Other findings showed all cancer stem cell-positive cases were significantly lymphovascular invasion positive (P ≤ 0.05). The most common histotypes in this research were tubular, tubulopapillary and intraductal carcinomas. CONCLUSIONS: Our results illustrated that cancer stem cells can be considered as reliable prognostic factors to predict severity of malignant behavior of canine malignant mammary glands cancer, which is comparable with human breast cancer.
Microbiological analysis of urinary tract infection in diabetic patients

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a predisposing condition to different infections especially the complicated urinary tract infection (UTI). The susceptibility pattern of organisms in diabetics is different from their counterparts. So, there is always a dilemma while administering empirical regimen for UTI in diabetics. The study aims to find the common organisms implicated in the UTI in diabetic patients and their sensitivity pattern. Methods: Properly collected urine specimen from all the diabetic (cases) and non-diabetic (controls) patients included in this study was processed. Sensitivity pattern and extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) production for the isolated uropathogens was noted. Results: E. coli was the most common organism isolated from both 68 cases and 85 controls in this study. Most of UTI patients with diabetes, 46 (67.7 %) had uncontrolled blood sugar level. Diabetics are more prone for catheter associated UTI (CAUTI) and fungal UTI. Most of the E coli and Atypical E coli isolated were ESBL positive for the diabetic patients (60.5%) than that for the non-diabetics (40.4%). Antimicrobial resistance pattern was similar in both the groups with maximum patients’ sensitivity to tigecycline, colistin, fosphomycin and least susceptibility to cefixime. Both E. coli and Klebsiella also showed high resistance to the fluoroquinolones. Conclusions: E. coli is the predominant uropathogen for both the diabetic & non-diabetic cases. But diabetics are more prone to get ESBL positive UTI. CAUTI and the fungal UTI are more common in diabetics. Diabetic condition does not affect the antimicrobial resistance pattern of uropathogens. But their rising resistance to fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins is a matter of concern while prescribing empiric regimen.
