Clinical approach to burst-suppression pattern in intensive care unit: basic and updates

A burst-suppression pattern is an electroencephalographic pattern characterized by a quasi-periodic high amplitude “burst” alternating with periods of low or flatline “suppression. ” Recognizing and understanding this pattern is helpful for clinical management in intensive care units. Pathological burst-suppression is commonly seen in post cardiac arrest comatose patients. It can also be induced by anesthetics or hypothermia. A burst-suppression pattern in anoxic brain injury generally predicts a poor prognosis; however, exceptions do occur. Inducing burstsuppression by general anesthetics can be used to abort super-refractory status epilepticus. This article will discuss this unique EEG pattern, including basic mechanisms, related clinical conditions, and recent research updates.
EVALUATING SOCIO-CULTURAL BARRIERS TO ANTENATAL CARE UTILIZATION AMONG REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN IN WUSHISHI AND ZUNGERU COMMUNITIES IN NIGER STATE, NIGERIA: A LOGISTIC REGRESSION APPROACH

More than 33% of Nigerian pregnant women do not use the Antenatal Care service during pregnancy. In 2015, for instance, World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that only 61% of Nigerian pregnant women had attended ANC at least once during their pregnancy period. Only 51% of these women met the WHO standard of a minimum of 4 visits. This ANC rate is, without doubt, lower than the WHO African region average of 77%. The situation in Wushishi and Zungeru communities of Niger State may not be different. Despite the number of health facilities available in these communities, some women of childbearing age do not access antenatal care. Most times, many of them lose their lives during delivery at home, some end up with complications or lose OPEN ACCESS International Medical Science Research Journal Vol. 1(4), pp. 93-100, November 2019 Fair East Publishers Journal Homepage: www.fepbl. com/index.php/imsrj
Effects of Funchicórea®, a Traditional Brazilian Herbal Complex, on Intestinal Motility in Healthy and Constipated Rodents

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The traditional herbal medicinal product Funchicórea® has been widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of intestinal colic and constipation in newborns. However, no scientific data on the herbal product to prove its efficacy is available. Aim of the Study: This study aimed to evaluate the laxative and spasmolytic actions of Funchicórea®. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) and Swiss mice (Mus musculus) of both Original Research Article Assis et al.; EJMP, 31(19): 26-36, 2020; Article no.EJMP. 64301 27 sex, were used. In vivo pharmacological assays were performed to evaluate the stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, and in vitro studies to verify its spasmodic activity. Results: Funchicórea® increased the motility of the small intestine in male mice at doses of 100 mg/kg (161.66±14.86 %, n=6) and 200 mg/kg (151.04±17.17 %, n=6) compared to control (100.00±10.49 %, n=6). However, this drug did not induce any change in intestinal transit in female mice. The intestinal transit of male mice treated with loperamide (3 mg/kg/day, during three days) was reduced 66.25±7.49 % (n=8) compared to the control group (100.00±5.16%, n=8) and we observed the normalization of the intestinal transit in constipated animals treated with Funchicórea® 100 mg/Kg (98.42±6.33 %, and 200 mg/kg (99.32±8.47%, n=7). Similar results were observed in the quantification for 24 hours of male and female rats faeces constipated by loperamide (3 mg/kg/day three days), however, in both animals groups treated with Funchicórea® 100 mg/kg (1.24±2.90 g, male; 3.60±0.80 g, female, n=6) and 200 mg/Kg (8.70±2.01 g, male, 10.03±1.30 g, female, n=6) the levels of faeces returned to basal values compared to constipated group (4.01±1.43 g, male; 1.70±0.10 g, female, n=6). In addition, Funchicórea® (0.01-1000 μg/mL) elicited relaxation in rat ileum pre-contracted by KCl 40 mM (Emax=97.5±7.0 %, n=7) and carbachol (1 μM, Emax=100.0±7.0 %, n=7). Conclusion: The results obtained demonstrated that the herbal medicine Funchicórea® acts by stimulating the intestine of rats and mice and has spasmolytic activity in isolated rat ileum.
Integrated Survival Analysis and Frequent Pattern Mining for Course Failure-Based Prediction of Student Dropout

A data-driven method to identify frequent sets of course failures that students should avoid in order to minimize the likelihood of their dropping out from their university training is proposed. The overall probability distribution of the dropout is determined by survival analysis. This result can only describe the mean dropout rate of the undergraduates. However, due to the failure of different courses, the chances of dropout can be highly varied, so the traditional survival model should be extended with event analysis. The study paths of students are represented as events in relation to the lack of completing the required subjects for every semester. Frequent patterns of backlogs are discovered by the mining of frequent sets of these events. The prediction of dropout is personalised by classifying the success of the transitions between the semesters. Based on the explored frequent item sets and classifiers, association rules are formed providing the estimates of the success of the continuation of the studies in the form of confidence metrics. The results can be used to identify critical study paths and courses. Furthermore, based on the patterns of individual uncompleted subjects, it is suitable to predict the chance of continuation in every semester. The analysis of the critical study paths can be used to design personalised actions minimizing the risk of dropout, or to redesign the curriculum aiming the reduction in the dropout rate. The applicability of the method is demonstrated based on the analysis of the progress of chemical engineering students at the University of Pannonia in Hungary. The method is suitable for the examination of more general problems assuming the occurrence of a set of events whose combinations may trigger a set of critical events.
Producers' Perception of Grain Delivery in a Cereal Company in Northern Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil

Agribusiness is constantly growing every year, all due to the increase in the world population, which makes the demand for food ever greater. Agriculture in Brazil is seen today with the greatest potential for expansion and growth compared to other countries, thus the market and the agricultural industries are expanding. The objective of this work is to help a cereal company in the north of the state of the Rio Grande do Sul through a field survey in verifying the customers’ perception, and exploring the predominant factors in choosing the delivery of grain production. The purpose of the literature review was to clarify aspects regarding agribusiness and the area in which the research was carried out. Information collected in the literature review provided support for the construction of a questionnaire used in the data collection. Results showed explanation of the diversity of each region in which the company operated and with that, it was noted the different profiles of the producers, and consequently the competition, since each one had its peculiarities, and each client, regardless of region, had distinct needs that needed to be seen and met by the company in general. The company is in full growth, and has a very broad view of the market, that is, it is diversifying its areas of operation in the agribusiness branch in search of competitiveness, valuing customers and partners, always bearing in mind its principles and values, being this is a differential valued by its customers.

Voting method based on approval voting and arithmetic mean

Voting plays a vital role in any society. Indeed the votes involve decision making especially and the more in the decision of group. Thanks to the opinions expressed by a group of people, an opinion representing the preference of the group is determined. But most often some voting methods seem to distance the result from a vote of the general opinion. The study of voting methods is based on the theory of social choice. For several years, in the literature on the theory of social choice, many theorists have contributed trying to find a representative voting method.It seems that there is no totally satisfactory way of voting.Thus we have tried, through this article, to design a voting method based on approval voting and the arithmetic mean that leads to goodcompromise results.In contrast to the other methods, the new method takes into account the choice of each voter and allows to obtain a result which represents the choice of the majority of the voters.
Assessment of nutritive value of selectively grazed forbs by cattle in communal grazing land of Ido Local Government Area, Oyo state, Nigeria

Forbs subsidize to nutrients pool of cattle grazing heterogeneous native land. They have sustainability potential to balance nutrients deficiency of tropical grasses that dominate unimproved grazing land. Therefore, selectively grazed forbs by cattle were evaluated with respect to their nutritive value and forage quality indices. Forbs selectively grazed were determined for their chemical composition (g/100g DM), metabolisable energy (ME, MJ/Kg DM) and in-vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD %) using Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NIRS). In vitro gas production at 24 h incubation, Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD) and Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) were assessed. The Relative Feed Value (RFV) and Relative Forage Quality (RFQ) of the forbs were estimated using standard procedure. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Forbs selectively grazed by cattle were; Euphorbia heterophylus, Platosoma africanum, Ipomea triloba, Altherathania sessilis, Sida cordifolia, Tithonia diversifolia, Boerhavia diffusa, Sida acuta, Tridax procumbens, Talinum fruticosum, Phyllanthus amarus, Aspilla africana, Acalypa fimbriata and Euphorbia hirta. Crude Protein (CP) content ranged from 9.30% in A. sessilis to 28.69% in P. Africana. The CP values differed significantly (p<0.05) amongst the forb species. The ME ranged from 6.18 in T diversifolia to 8.99 in T procumbence while, IVOMD ranged from 48.29 in A. fimbriata to 65.67 in T. diversifolia showing that the grazed forbs differed significantly (p<0.05) from each other. OMD differed significantly (p<0.05) among the forbs while, SCFA did not differ (p>0.05). RFV and RFQ ranged from 85.63 to 66.48 and 66.48 60 217.89 in A. sessilis and T diversifolia, respectively. The findings from this study revealed forbs are enriched in nutrients, have the potential to supply requested nutrients to grazing cattle because of their great forage quality indices and high degradability.
Gendered Impacts Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On The Health And Financial Well-being Of Women: A Narrative Review With Recommendations

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an upheaval in the functioning of the modern world, leaving all people with a sense of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future. However, individual lives have been impacted disproportionately due to the specific privileges that people hold, or hindrances they have to overcome​— women, in particular, have suffered setbacks that have exacerbated their living conditions exponentially. The purpose of this paper is to delineate how the coronavirus pandemic, along with the pre-existing gender inequalities across the globe, has adversely impacted the financial, physical, mental, reproductive, and sexual health of women. At the heart of this study are issues like the plight of the women employed in sectors that lack social protections, the increase in instances of domestic and workplace violence and harassment, the lack of access to healthcare services during lockdowns, and the burden of balancing unpaid care work and paid work and its toll on the mental and physical well-being of women. The authors have performed a narrative review based on journal articles on the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on women and publications by major economic and health entities (like the United Nations, International Labour Organisation, the Organisation of American States, the World Health Organisation, etc.). A comparative analysis has also been performed to compare the current gender disparities in India with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goal of Gender Equality. Additionally, a survey was conducted to analyse the impacts of COVID-19 on women, compared to men, through which it has been concluded that the coronavirus pandemic has affected the finances and health of women more severely than that of men from the same background. Some recommendations and solutions for the issues faced by women are also provided.
Solving Rich Vehicle Routing Problem Using Three Steps Heuristic

Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) relates to the problem of providing optimum service with a fleet of vehicles to customers. It is a combinatorial optimization problem. The objective is usually to maximize the profit of the operation. However, for public transportation owned and operated by the government, accessibility takes priority over profitability. Accessibility usually reduces profit, while increasing profit tends to reduce accessibility. In this research, we look at how accessibility can be increased without penalizing the profitability. This requires the determination of routes with minimum fuel consumption, the maximum number of ports of call and maximum load factor satisfying a number of pre-determined constraints: hard and soft constraints. To solve this problem, we propose a heuristic algorithm. The results from this experiment show that the algorithm proposed has better performance compared to the partitioning set.

Then, brand image can mediate the effect between perceived quality and brand loyalty.
Experimental Study of the Structural Behavior of RC Box Girder with Steel Plates Strengthening and Different Shapes of Cells

Article history: Received 21 January 2020 Accepted 17 February 2020 The aim of this research is to study the effect of corrugated steel plate strengthening on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete box girder using corrugated steel plates with vertical and horizontal corrugation and studying the effect of the shape of cells using rectangular and circular shape with the same web width and strengthening the circular cell with flat plate. Five simply supported reinforced concrete box girders are casted using Self-compacting concrete and experimentally tested under four-point load. The box girder specimens are divided into two groups according to the steel strengthening and the shape of cells. The experimental results showed that in the first group, the using of the vertical and horizontal corrugated steel plates strengthening increased the ultimate load by (7.14% and 11.03%) respectively compared with the control box girder, and decreased the crack width, the results also showed that in the second group, the using of circular cell and circular strengthened cell increased the ultimate load by (17.85% and 29.22%) respectively compared with the control box girder with rectangular cell and decreased the crack width. All the box girders in the first and second group failed with diagonal shear.
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish and other aquatic organisms from Karachi Coast, Pakistan

Yousif RA, Choudhary MI, Ahmed S, Ahmed Q. 2020. Review: Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish and other aquatic organisms from Karachi Coast, Pakistan. Nusantara Bioscience 13: 73-84. Heavy metals are being utilized in a variety of ways in industries, agriculture, food processing and household in many forms. Metals are unique environmental and industrial pollutants in the sense that they are neither created nor destroyed by human beings but are only transported and transformed into various products. The present study deals with the findings of various investigators on the effect of heavy metals on fish and other aquatic organisms on Karachi coasts of Pakistan. The polluted areas (Rivers and Karachi coasts) receiving effluents from industrial, agricultural, municipal and domestic wastes. The order of abundance of the metals were as fellow; Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Cd > Pb > Cr > Ni > Hg > As. Most studies showed that essential metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn) in aquatic organisms are much high, but the quantities of non-essential metals are found to be less. This review has shown that fish and other aquatic organisms are used as bio-monitoring species in heavy metal pollution. It is suggested that such investigations should be continuous in terms of both human health and determination of metal pollution in aquatic environment.
The Effect of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Desensitizing Slurry Alone or Combined with Calcium Phosphate on Dentin Permeability (An in Scanning Electron Microscope study)

Purpose: Determining the dentinal tubules occlusion and permeability of desensitized dentin after its treatment with (MSN) slurry alone or combined with calcium phosphate (Capo4@MSN)versus (NHAp) suspension. Materials and Methods: eighty sound posterior teeth were extracted for orthodontic purpose. Dentin disks of 1 mm thickness were cut perpendicular to the long axis of the teeth at level of 1 mm above the cemento-enamel junction. All samples were treated with 6% citric acid solution for 2 minutes to stimulate sensitive teeth. The samples were divided into four main groups (30 each) according to the material used either Ca+2and PO4@ MSN slurry, slurry of MSN nanoparticles, NHAp suspension and no treatments a control group. These four groups were further subdivided into two groups according to time to after 1 day and after 4 weeks. In random samples from each group, the samples were evaluated for dentinal tubules occlusion using Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope and for dentin permeability. The samples were photographed using Stereomicroscope. Image analysis software was used for indicating degree of occlusion and the depth of dye penetration. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Turkey’s HSD test. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: There was significant difference observed between CaPo4 @MSN nanoparticles and NHAp compared to (MSN alone) group but there was insignificant difference between groups (CaPo4@MSN) and (NHAp) in dentinal tubules occlusion and permeability. Conclusion: (CaPo4@MSN), MSN alone and NHAp are valuable tools to enhance dentinal tubules occlusion and permeability of desensitizing dentin.

An Analysis of Financial Performance of the Puncak Jaya Regency Government

This research aimed to figure out the financial performance of the Puncak Jaya Regency Government in the period of 2014–2018. This research is both quantitative and qualitative. Primary data were collected from interviews, while secondary data were from literature and the 2014–2018 budget realization reports of the Puncak Jaya Regency Government. The data analysis techniques used consisted of analyses of the decentralization ratio, local financial self-sufficiency ratio, locally generated revenue effectiveness ratio, and local financial efficiency ratio. The research results show that the fiscal decentralization ratio was meager and that the locally generated revenue had a deficient ability to fund local development. The self-sufficiency ratio was still below the local financial standard due to the Puncak Jaya Regency Government's inability to improve its locally-generated revenue. According to the effectiveness ratio, the overall targeted and realized locally generated revenues were declared ineffective. Nevertheless, the locally generated revenue was found efficient, in which case the Puncak Jaya Regency Government managed its expenditure according to the revenue available.
THE CAPITALIZATION OF SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN THE DUTCH

This paper examines the effect of energy efficiency on the prices of both rental and sales transactions within the office property market in the Netherlands. This is considered one of the most tangible elements of sustainability since it offers a crucial opportunity for conserving resources. The existing literature provides strong evidence for the claim that sustainability translates into positive price premiums. While the literature predominantly examines the green premium using the hedonic pricing method, the approach to control for one of the most important price determinants, location, did not find any consensus yet. This study pioneers by including urbanization into this research, resulting in a more parsimonious model. Overall, the findings in this paper provide strong evidence to affirm the prevailing green premium, provide no persuasive evidence – but does show potential – for a moderating effect of the prospective label-C restriction announced in October 2016, and shows the effectiveness of urbanization as an alternate approach to overcome common identification issues. The findings of this paper are relevant for investors that are confronted with required investments in energy improvements, as the importance of energy efficiency is bound to increase following stricter environmental regulations. For policymakers, the results provide an indication of the effectiveness of the EPC labeling system and further guidelines for accelerating the greening of the built environment.
