Health education on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis prevention among tuberculosis patients

Received Feb 24, 2020 Revised Nov 20, 2020 Accepted Jan 3, 2021 The high incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in the community due to the lack of socialization or the provision of health education about MDR-TB. During this time, health education is only focused on tuberculosis (TB) generally. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education on the behavior of MDR-TB prevention in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in two Community Health Centers in Padang. This study design is quasi-experimental with pre and post-test groups only. The program intervention of health education was conducted for a month with lecture method and group discussion using flipchart and video as media. The sampling technique used purposive sampling were 29 patients with TB who are still in the phase of treatment. Data collection used a set of questionnaires. The data analysis in this study using statistical tests t-test. The results showed, there is a significance influence of health education on knowledge with p-value=0.000 (p≤0.05) and attitude with p-value=0.000 (p≤0.05). The result also showed that 65.5% of patients taking medication regularly. It was also that there is the effect of health education on the behavior of MDR-TB prevention in TB patients. It is expected that the providing of health education on the prevention of behavior on MDR-TB is emphasized on the motivation and self-efficacy of the patients and involvement of supervision on taking medication.
FOUR TENSORS DETERMINING THE HEAT AND ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITIES OF DEGENERATE ELECTRONS IN THE DENSE MAGNETIZED MATTER

A solution is obtained for the Boltzmann equation for a plasma in a magnetic field with strongly degenerate electrons and non-degenerate nuclei. In the Lorentz approximation, the components of the diffusion, thermal diffusion, and diffusion thermoeffect tensors in a non-quantizing magnetic field are calculated. This approximation, in which electron-electron collisions are neglected, is asymptotically accurate for a plasma with highly degenerate electrons. These formulas have a much more complex dependence on the magnetic field than similar dependences in previous publications on this topic.
CD34 Positive Pediatric T Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Tertiary Care Centre Experience

1 Assistant Professor, 2 Additional Professor, 3 Professor & HOD, Dept.of Pediatric Oncology 4 Professor & HOD Department of Pathology, Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum, Kerala, India Corresponding Author Dr Sindhu Nair.P Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum, Kerala, India 695024 Email: sindhunairp@yahoo.co.in, Tel: 9947411101 Abstract Background: T lymphoblastic leukaemia (T ALL) carries a worse prognosis compared to B lymphoblastic leukaemia (B ALL) especially in children. There are only a few published data about immunophenotype of T ALL in India. So we studied the immunophenotypic pattern of T ALL in children by flow cytometry and correlated it with clinical and pathological factors. Materials and Methods: 271 consecutive cases of paediatric acute leukaemias reported in the Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry and clinicpathological analysis was done in all cases. The study period was from June 2009-June 2011. T ALL cases were followed up for two and a half years till the completion of treatment. Result: Among the 271 cases of myeloperoxidase negative acute leukaemia, 232 were B-ALL, 39 were TALL. Among 39 cases of T ALL, 25 cases (64%) were CD34 positive and 14(35.8%) were CD34 negative. Of the 25 CD34 positive cases, only 12 (48%) completed treatment compared to 10 out of 14(71%) CD34 negative cases. Conclusion: The occurrence of CD34 positivity in T ALL is high in children coming to our centre from different parts of Kerala which is in contrast to western studies. Even though T ALL is treated under high risk protocol, CD34 positive cases need special attention and they should undergo molecular studies to detect the bad prognostic factor.
Kinetics of phosphate uptake by aquatic microorganisms: Deviations from a simple Michaelis‐Menten equation 1

The uptake kinetics of dissolved inorganic phosphate (/sup 31/P/sub 1/) by lake water microorganisms and a green alga (Selenastrum capricornutum) were determined as a function of uptake rates of radiophosphate (/sup 32/P/sub 1/) at added /sup 31/P/sub 1/ levels greater than or equal to 0. The data did not follow a simple Michaelis-Menten equation.
AC 2010-984: INSTRUMENTATION EMPHASIS IN UNDERGRADUATE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAMS

This paper reports the results of the development and implementation of hands-on laboratory experiments in a newly developed laboratory for a two-semester undergraduate course in Instrumentation and Measurements in Mechanical Engineering. The course, designed for the undergraduate junior level, was a two-semester course for a total of four credits, and it took place in conjunction with a one-hour classroom lecture in mechanical engineering. A modified version of this approach, however, can easily be used at all levels of the mechanical engineering curriculum. An important component to the process involves the utilization of a two-semester long, open-ended project (OEP) that required the students to come up with creative approaches to problem solving. Over the course of the year, a full-cycle learning experience took place. After acquiring the necessary minimum knowledge, the students began their OEP by developing an initial idea. They then went on to design and construct a working prototype (that included both system and measurement sensors on prototyping boards), and concluded the project by conducting a feasibility study by writing a report and delivering a class presentation. Because the ELVIS system has been used primarily as an instructional tool in electrical engineering laboratories, an extensive process that adapted it to the needs of mechanical engineering was implemented. This included the development of completely new experiments that involved newly-designed hardware and instructions that were all developed and built in-house with student participation. Topics: laboratories and experiments; innovative experiments; instrumentation emphasis in undergraduate programs.
Influence of soil organic matter composition on the partition of organic compounds

The sorption at room temperature of benzene and carbon tetrachloride from water on three high-organic-content soils (muck, peat, and extracted peat) and on cellulose was determined in order to evaluate the effect of sorbent polarity on the solute partition coefficients. The isotherms are highly linear for both solutes on all the organic matter samples, which is consistent with a partition model. For both solutes, the extracted peat shows the greatest sorption capacity while the cellulose shows the lowest capacity; the difference correlates with the polar-to-nonpolar group ratio [(O+N)/C] of the sorbent samples

Synthesis, Characterization, and Enzymatic Degradation Studies on Novel Network Aliphatic Polyesters

Network polyesters were prepared from1,1,1-trimethylolethane (Ye), 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane (Yp), 1,2,3,4-butanetetrol (Xe), and d-glucitol (Zs) with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids containing different numbers of methylene groups (HOOC(CH2)n-2COOH, n =4, 6−14, 16, and 20). Prepolymers prepared by melt polycondensation were cast from dimethylformamide solution and postpolymerized at 230 °C for 4 h to form a network. The resultant films were transparent, flexible, and insoluble in organic solvents. The network polyesters obtained were characterized by infrared absorption spectra, wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis, density measurement, thermomechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and tensile test. The enzymatic degradation was estimated by the weight loss of the network polyester films in a buffer solution with lipase enzymes at 37 °C. The enzymatic degradation for Yen films was compared with that for the network polyester films of glycerol (Yg) or pentaerithritol (Xp) with various aliphat.
Highly Efficient Quantum‐Dot‐Sensitized Solar Cell Based on Co‐Sensitization of CdS/CdSe

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) are sequentially assembled onto a nanocrystalline TiO2 film to prepare a CdS/CdSe co‐sensitized photoelectrode for QD‐sensitized solar cell application. The results show that CdS and CdSe QDs have a complementary effect in the light harvest and the performance of a QDs co‐sensitized solar cell is strongly dependent on the order of CdS and CdSe respected to the TiO2. In the cascade structure of TiO2/CdS/CdSe electrode, the re‐organization of energy levels between CdS and CdSe forms a stepwise structure of band‐edge levels which is advantageous to the electron injection and hole‐recovery of CdS and CdSe QDs. An energy conversion efficiency of 4.22% is achieved using a TiO2/CdS/CdSe/ZnS electrode, under the illumination of one sun (AM1.5,100 mW cm−2). This efficiency is relatively higher than other QD‐sensitized solar cells previously reported in the literature.
Structural Defects and Relation with Optoelectronic Properties in Highly Mg-Doped GaN

A transmission electron microscopy of pyramidal inversion domains induced by Mg doping in MOVPE and bulk GaN is presented. Based on high resolution observations and EDX analysis, two atomic models are proposed for the Mg-rich (0001) inversion domain boundaries. These structural defects appearing for Mg concentrations in the 10(19) cm(-3) range are shown to be possible origins for the auto-compensation and the blue luminescence.
Enhancement of Ibuprofen Dissolution via Wet Granulation with β-Cyclodextrin

The purpose was to investigate the effect of wet granulation with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) on the enhancement of ibuprofen (IBU) dissolution. The effect of the granulation variables on the physical properties as well as the dissolution of tablets prepared from these granules was also examined. Granulation was performed using three granulating solvents: water, ethanol (95 vol%), and isopropanol. Granules were either oven-dried for 2 h or air-dried for 3 days. The granules or respective physical mixtures were compressed into tablets. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that oven-dried granulation resulted in less amorphous entities that facilitated IBU– βCD complexation in solution and enhanced the dissolution of the corresponding tablets compared to the physical mixture with or without oven drying. In contrast, air-dried granulation did not cause any differences in the X-ray diffraction pattern (crystallinity) or the dissolution compared to the physical mixture without drying. Isopropanol and water, as granulating solvents, enhanced the dissolution of the oven-dried batches more than ethanol. The Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data showed that tablets prepared from oven-dried granules, but not air-dried granules, had lower ΔH values and percent loss in weight, respectively, than those prepared from the physical mixture as a result of the expulsion of the water molecules from the βCD cavity and enhancement of the complexation in solution. These results showed that oven-dried granulation of IBU and βCD provided faster IBU dissolution than the physical mixture; air-dried granulation did not substantially affect the dissolution of IBU.

Degradation of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with Nickel Electrodes

The mechanism of degradation, or IR drop, of BaTiO3-based Ni-electrode chip capacitors has been studied, with special attention to the microstructure. Degradation occurred mainly at the center of the capacitors. Longer-life capacitors were obtained under conditions of low oxygen partial pressure, 10−12 atm, during sintering, and had larger grain sizes and smaller quantities of grain boundary phase. The existence of oxygen vacancies in the grain boundary phase was confirmed by cathode luminescence measurement. Double layers along the surfaces of the Ni electrodes were also related to the life of the capacitors.
Classification of textural characteristics

SUMMARY Definition of texture is reviewed, and a system for classification of textural characteristics of foods is described. The system is based on fundamental rheological principles, and at the same time is suitable for routine use. Textural characteristics are defined and classified into mechanical and geometrical qualities as well as those related to the moisture and fat content of a product. The mechanical characteristics are subdivided into the primary parameters of hardness, cohesiveness, viscosity, elasticity, and adhesiveness, and into the secondary parameters of brittleness, chewiness, and gumminess. It is pointed out that popular terms used to describe texture often denote degrees of intensity of these characteristics. The proposed classification lends itself to use with both objective and subjective methods of texture characterization.
No evidence for quenching in quasars

Abstract The role of quasar feedback in galaxy evolution remains poorly understood. Throughout this work, we explore the effects of negative feedback on star formation in quasar host galaxies, analysing two distinct populations of quasars. The first is a sample of high-redshift (z > 2) low-ionisation broad absorption line quasars (LoBALs) - a class of quasars hosting energetic mass outflows, in which we find evidence for prolific star formation (>750Mʘyr–1) exceeding that of non-BAL quasars at the same redshift. The second is a population of 207 low-redshift (z < 0.3) quasars, in which we find an enhancement in the SFRs of quasar hosts compared to the underlying galaxy population, with no quasars residing in quiescent hosts over the last 2Gyr. Overall, we find no evidence for galaxy-wide quenching in either population, rather we suggest that the dominant effect of quasar activity is to enhance star formation in the galaxy.

Ionized gas outflows in the interacting radio galaxy 4C +29.30

Abstract We investigate the ionized gas excitation and kinematics in the inner 4.3 × 6.2 kpc2 of the merger radio galaxy 4C +29.30. Using optical integral field spectroscopy with the Gemini North Telescope, we find signatures of gas outflows, including high blueshifts of up to ∼−650 km s−1 observed in a region ∼1″ south of the nucleus, which also presents high velocity dispersion (∼250 km s−1). A possible redshifted counterpart is observed north from the nucleus. We propose that these regions correspond to a bipolar outflow possibly due to the interaction of the radio jet with the ambient gas. We estimate a total ionized gas mass outflow rate of $\[{\dot M_{out}} = 18.1\begin{array}{c} + 8.2\\ - 5.3\end{array}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \]$ with a kinetic power of $\[\dot E = 5.8\begin{array}{c} + 7.6\\ - 2.9\end{array} \times {10^{42}}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \]$ , which represents $\[3.9\begin{array}{c} + 5.1\\ - 1.5\end{array}\% \]$ of the AGN bolometric luminosity. These values are higher than usually observed in nearby active galaxies and could imply a significant impact of the outflows on the evolution of the host galaxy.
Fast dissolving eutectic compositions of two anti-tubercular drugs

Co-crystallization of anti-tubercular drugs pyrazinamide (PZA) and isoniazid (INH) with each other and with dicarboxylic acid coformers was studied. Grinding of the two drugs to make a co-crystal resulted instead in a 1:1 binary eutectic, PZA–INH, and addition of succinic acid (SA) and fumaric acid (FA) to the binary drugs gave a 1:1:1 ternary eutectic composition, PZA–SA–INH and PZA–FA–INH, respectively. The 1:0.5 binary drug–diacid adducts, PZA–SA, PZA–FA, INH–SA and INH–FA, are co-crystal structures by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ternary eutectics PZA–diacid–INH were identified as composed of the co-crystals PZA–(diacid)0.5 and INH–diacid(0.5) rather than the pure components. All new crystalline multi-component phases were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared, and solid-state NMR. Solubility and dissolution experiments on the novel phases showed that their intrinsic dissolution rates are in the order, PZA–SA–INH > INH > PZA–INH > PZA–FA–INH > PZA. Thus pyrazinamide–isoniazid two-drug combination becomes a fast dissolving ternary eutectic phase with succinic acid.
Note from the Editor — www.oryxthejournal.org

Vulpes vulpes, for example, has one of the largest distributional range of all land mammals. Some carnivore species have even become exotic invasive nuisances, negatively impacting native fauna (Ibarra et al., 2008). Interestingly, some rare and threatened carnivores appear to be benefiting from recent land-use and cultural changes. Such is the case of the puma Puma concolor in North America in places where farms have given way to woodlands, and of lynxes Lynx lynx, wolves and brown bears Ursus arctos in Europe, where the rise of anti-hunting sentiments and animal welfare concerns have reinforced recent range recoveries. In India, because of higher levels of traditional cultural tolerance, leopards Panthera pardus, wolves, sloth bears Melursus ursinus, striped hyenas Hyena hyena and a host of smaller carnivore species survive amidst high human population densities across wide sweeps of agricultural landscapes. Furthermore, tourism and safari hunting, driven by fascination for larger carnivores such as lions and leopards, is shifting land use in parts of Africa, driving the expansion of the habitats of these species. Television documentaries with huge global audiences are creating a new class of urban conservationists that champion the cause of tigers threatened by bone trade or polar bears Ursus maritimus imperilled by melting sea-ice. Nevertheless, increasing human population densities and the consequent demand for food and natural resources will rapidly erode and fragment remaining carnivore habitats. Driven by the same socio-economic forces, global climate change poses an even greater impending threat. However, in some areas at least, the same socio-economic growth also appears to be moving people from remote wild areas to urban growth centres, thereby reducing hunting and habitat related pressures on carnivores. Substitution of wild meat in local diets by domestic meat and poultry can reduce overhunting of natural prey, thus mitigating a potentially critical threat to many carnivore species. Cultural changes appear to promote greater tolerance or even support for protection of carnivores and their habitats, although counter examples to this trend, such as the increasing demand for carnivore body parts in traditional oriental medicine, also exist. In our rapidly changing world the conservation of carnivores now stands at the crossroads. How effectively scientists, conservationists, governments and society at large will study, understand, collaborate and move forward to meet the ecological needs of these mammals will determine where and how many species and populations will survive. Wherever we fall short these marvellous animals—both products and shapers of life on earth—will become just road kills on the highway of human historical progress. References
