Effects of Antiretroviral Drugs on Steroid Hormones Among HIV-Infected Antenatal Women in Nigeria
Authors: Okeke Chukwubike Udoka
Published: August 2022

Objective: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global threat. The administration of Antiretroviral drugs (ARD) is the most effective means of hampering the fatality of the disease. This study was to determine the effects of ARD (Combivir, Nevirapine) on estradiol and progesterone in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Methods: 120 pregnant women in Bori, Rivers State, Nigeria, were randomly selected for this study. Sixty of these women were pregnant and apparently healthy (control group), while the rest sixty were HIV-infected pregnant women who began antenatal visits in 2nd trimester of their pregnancy. Their blood samples were collected in their 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The estradiol and progesterone levels were quantitatively determined using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods.

Results: In the 3rd trimester when the samples were collected, there was no significant difference (p.value 0.2042) between the mean progesterone level of seronegative (766.66±18.17nmol/L) and seropositive pregnant women (804.71±23.63 nmol/L). Contrariwise, there was a significant difference (p.value 0.0001) in estradiol level; seronegative women’s level (37,490.09± 2,080.56 pmol/L) being significantly higher than that of seropositive women’s (28,135.40±986.45pmol/L).

Conclusion: The significant difference in estradiol levels among these two groups of women indicated that despite the initiation of antiretroviral medication on HIV-infected women, steroidogenesis of this pregnancy hormone did not measure up to their non-infected pregnant counterparts while the insignificant difference in progesterone among these groups reflected a good response of the hormone to the drug therapy.
Oncological Pathology of The Endocrine System
Authors: Hunis Adrian
Published: August 2022

Our endocrine glands produce hormones, which are like the body’s messengers-they move through the bloodstream until they reach their target organ, and then they deliver instructions telling that organ exactly how to behave. These “messages” trigger important processes, like metabolism, growth, reproduction and even mood. Occasionally, in one of the endocrine glands, a change in the DNA (known as a mutation) causes abnormal cells to grow, and a tumor form. Most endocrine tumors are benign (not cancerous), but a few will become cancerous. Collectively, endocrine cancers are much less common than other kinds of cancer. However, thyroid cancer, which is an endocrine cancer, is the fifth most common cancer among women in the United States.

Pulmonary Embolism in Patients with COVID-19: Retrospective Study of Ten (10) Cases at the Renaissance University Hospital of N'Djamena/Chad
Authors: N Doune
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Venous thromboembolic events are encountered during the course of COVID-19, the main one being pulmonary embolism, which shares clinical manifestations. The objective of this study is to recognize the arguments that can evoke a pulmonary embolism in a patient with COVID-19.

Patients and methods: This was a case-control study conducted over 6 months at the renaissance university hospital. We collected ten (10) records of covid 19 patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism representing the cases, and twenty (20) records of covid 19 patients without pulmonary embolism (controls).

Results: Five (05) patients (50%) had a comorbidity. The thromboembolic risk factor found was prolonged bed rest. The symptoms were: cough and fever (0.3%), dyspnea and chest pain (0.2%), fever and dyspnea (0.3%) and other symptoms (0.2%) p=0.3. Arterial hypotension (70%) normal blood pressure (10%) and hypertension (20%) p=0.9. Electrical abnormalities were found in 60% of patients and dominated by rhythm disorders (40%), p=0.29. At admission, 10% of patients had a saturation of less than 90% and 90% had a saturation of more than 90%, p=0.48. The d-dimer level from 5 times abore normal represented 90% p=0.007. High CRP and below 20 mg/l (20%) from 20-100mg/l (60%) and above 100 mg/l (20%) p=0.27. All received effective anticoagulation with enoxaparin. Thirty percent (30%) died and 70% returned home on oral anticoagulation (57% vitamin K antagonist and 43% direct oral anticoagulants).

Conclusion: Pulmonary embolism in covid 19 is difficult to diagnose. An elevation of d-dimer may suggest the diagnosis.

Methodological Considerations in Morphological Processing Research
Authors: Zhaohong Wu
Published: August 2022

This book falls in the broad subject area of psycholinguistics and second-language acquisition. More specifically, this book is written for researchers stepping into the field of morphological processing so that they are not overwhelmed by the large number of individual studies and do not lose sight of the whole picture. With a comprehensive review of the relevant factors that first- and second-language morphological processing researchers need to take into consideration, including material- and procedure-related factors, participant individual differences, and participant group-level differences, this book is a useful theoretical reference work for morphological processing researchers. By considering the various potential confounding factors reviewed in this book, researchers are in a better position to more scientifically and meticulously reduce or eliminate the effects of potential covariates so that they can focus on their independent variables of interest. It may also help researchers in evaluating previous studies and their findings and whether or not these studies may have failed to consider possible confounding factors.

Authors: Jurnalis Yusri Dianne , Erli Meichory Viorika
Published: August 2022

Background: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a Beta-Herpes virus that leads to congenital infection in 0.4% to 2,3 % of all newborns. Diagnosis of CMV infection includes the culture of the nasopharynx, saliva, and urine. Serologic tests are also beneficial for CMV diagnosis. IgM CMV-specific antibodies can be monitored. Biliary sludge is a mixture of particulate solids that have precipitated from bile. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers the most definitive therapy for biliary sludge.

Case presentation: A 2-month-old boy complained yellow appearance since the age of 1 week ago. Looks pale. Defecation was sometimes colored putty since the age of 2 weeks. Blood laboratory examination with hemoglobin 8,7 gr/dL, Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and liver function were increased. Bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and Gamma GT were increased. Two-phase and abdominal USG were biliary atresia. PCR CMV examination with urine and blood sample was positive. Head USG was consistent with CMV infection. Cholangiography showed sludge bile with liver cirrhosis. Therapy gansiklovir IV for 14 days then gansiklovir per oral for 6 months.

Conclusion: Cholangiography is the definitive diagnosis for biliary sludge. CMV is a congenital infection that causes asymptomatic to multiple severe symptoms, so it is necessary to monitor children for adherence to treatment, improve nutritional status and reduce morbidity and mortality rates.

Diabetes is an increasing global health problem and this puts high demands on the health care system. Medication non-adherence results in increased morbidity, mortality and financial loss among patients and non-adherence is multifactorial. This study therefore was aimed at determining factors associated with non-adherence to drugs and dietary regimen among Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients attending University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. This study utilized a quantitative design using descriptive survey method to collect data from 330 Type II diabetes out-patients in UCH, Ibadan on factors associated with non-adherence to drug and dietary regimen. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean and standard deviation) for research questions and inferential statistics, Chi-square and ANOVA for testing hypotheses at 5% level of significance. Findings revealed that non-adherence to medication mean was 3.4±1.1 and 27.7% of respondents had poor adherence to medication. Mean attitude to medication non-adherence was 12.0±2.2 and 62.0% respondents had negative attitude to medication adherence. Clinical factors like: not being able to access clinic regularly for consultation and not getting medication information had influence on anti-diabetic medication non-adherence (1.37±0.49; F=42.036; P=0.000) and 1.54±0.50; F=29.431; P=0.000) respectively.

Purpose: to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in combination with diathermoelectroconization in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer.

Materials and methods. The study included 108 patients aged 33.13 ± 1.18 years. Human papillomavirus was detected in all patients. The study group consisted of 62 patients with cervical diseases. The fi rst subgroup included 28 patients with moderate to severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and pT1AN0M0 cervical cancer who underwent diathermoelectroconization and photodynamic therapy. The second subgroup included 34 patients with severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia who underwent only cervical diathermoelectroconization. The control group included 46 patients with unchanged cervix. To carry out fl uorescent diagnostics and photodynamic therapy, the patients of the fi rst subgroup were intravenously injected with a solution of photosensitizer “Fotoditazin” (“Vetagrand”, Russia) at a dose of 0.8–1.2 mg/kg. Three hours later, using the AFS device (“Polironik”, Russia), fl uorescent diagnostics was performed followed by photodynamic therapy with an ALHT-ELOMED laser (“Elomed”, Russia) in continuous mode. The wavelength was 662 nm, the output power – 3 W, the radiation dose – 200–300 J/cm2 for the cervix and 100–125 J/cm2 – for the cervical canal. All patients underwent complex antiviral therapy.

Results. All patients after photodynamic therapy showed complete eradication of human papillomavirus and regression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Morphological studies have shown that the effectiveness of combined treatment of moderate and severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, reaching 100 %, was higher than with the use of diathermoelectroconization alone (95 %). There were no recurrences of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer after combined treatment.

Conclusion. Photodynamic therapy of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer is a highly effective method.

Brand modern technology of leak detection by using pressure transient analysis has been developed and interested to research due to its advantages such as low cost, simplicity and convenient to use. This technology uses the concept of signal reflections which identify pipeline features. The method used in this study was using a pressure transducer (piezoelectric pressure sensor) to obtain pressure transient respond generated by rapid opening and closing of solenoid valve. However, such reflections are very difficult to determine the pipe characteristic most probably because of excessive noise from other sources. Therefore, this paper proposed a method called Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to decompose the reflection signal to its Intrinsic Mode Function (IMFs) and further analysis using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to transform the signal into Time-Frequency domain and spectrum diagram. From the spectrum diagram, the characteristic of the pipe can be clearly display. From the finding results, it proves that this method not only useful for leak detection but also can determine the location of leak and its magnitude with error less than 10%.

The Religious Patterns of the Tablighi Jamaat in Indonesia
Authors: Saepuloh Aep , Koswara Nandang , Wildan Asep Dadan
Published: August 2022

Abstract One of the promises of religion is happiness for its followers. The promise is translated according to their respective mindstreem. One of them is the Tablighi Jamaat. The Tablighi Jamaat claims to be a neutral community in terms of sects, mass organizations, and politics, but within the framework of ahl al-sunnah wa aljamâ'ah. They emphasize their religious activities in real terms through the practice of da'wah by prioritizing morality. This study aims to determine the religious pattern of the Tablighi Jamaat by studying the pattern of their life and da'wah. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method in describing the results of the study. The results of the research on the religious patterns of the Tablighi Jamaat mutually influence the dimensions of doctrine, teachings, rituals, appreciation and practice, so that the social interactions that are formed between the two are dialectically and associatively intertwined because they are influenced by motivational orientations and value orientations. In the application of the religious pattern, the Tablighi Jamaat adheres to the six doctrinal principles they profess. Keywords: Religion, Tablighi Jamaat, Religious Patterns.
Place-Based and Experiential Pedagogies: Teaching radical concepts in social movements and political sociology
Authors: Esposito Luigi , Perez Fernando
Published: August 2022

Drawing from manifestos, online communications, interviews, and other written reports, we examine the words and thoughts of five mass shooters from 2007-2019. These documents provide important insights into the structural conditions and ideological factors that have contributed to increases in the frequency and lethality of mass public shootings in the U.S. since the mid-2000s. Unlike studies that focus on gun laws and/or the mental health or personality traits of mass shooters, we emphasize the connection between mass public shootings in the U.S. and the prevailing neoliberal ideology that has, particularly in recent decades, shaped not only material conditions but value systems, social relations, and conceptions of the self in accordance to the logic of the market. We suggest the increasing digitization of social life under neoliberalism has led to a form of hyper-neoliberalism that amplifies conditions such as social isolation, low self-esteem, and egoistical forms of agency, all of which discourage empathy, erode social bonds, and foster a fertile environment for various forms of social degradation and violence. Under these conditions, mass public shootings can be regarded as an attempt to seek respect or recognition—what classical Greeks described as thymos—among individuals, particularly men, who feel alienated and irrelevant.

Book Review: Daniel P. Mears, Out-of-Control Criminal Justice: The Systems Improvement Solution for More Safety, Justice, Accountability, and Efficiency. Cambridge University Press. 2017
Authors: Ratcliff Kennedy
Published: August 2022

In his book, Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Daniel Mears writes about what he calls the Systems Improvement Solution, also called the Systems Solution. The Systems Solution is his solution for the way criminal justice policy is currently handled. Mears is an influential criminologist who is also the Mark C. Stafford Professor of Criminology at the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Mears, n.d.). Along with Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, he is the author of Fundamentals of Criminological and Criminal Justice Inquiry, Prisoner Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration, and American Criminal Justice Policy (Mears, n.d.). He is well-versed in his field of criminal justice, research, and policy; his research has also been featured in multiple journals and media outlets (Mears, n.d.). In Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Mears discusses every aspect concerning his Systems Solution- what a system is as a whole, the innerworkings of a system, how the Systems Solution can be used in other fields besides criminal justice, the emphasis on research, the multi-stakeholder policy process, the benefits of a Systems Solution, and many other pieces needed for a Systems Improvement Solution.
The Judgement Day: A Cantata (Quasi Oratorio)
Authors: Amparbin Ernest Francis
Published: August 2022

The days of our years are three score years and ten (Psalm 90: 10). It is appointed for the human being to die but once and after that judgement (Hebrews 9:27).The theme, “The Judgement Day” was chosen because the composer wants to touch on a very sensitive issue which concerns the Second Coming of Christ which is a very important subject for Christians. There are so many social cankers that have succeeded in changing the gears of life in almost unbearable directions. Human beings do not understand this but the Omnipotent God is His own interpreter.The Book of Revelation talks a lot about the end time but are we paying heed to the voice of the one crying in the wilderness? Who knows the day? Neither you nor I. Ours is to be on guard. For one day, Christ will descend and take His own people along. Are you one of His own? Will you be one of those He will carry along?It is the composer’s wish that anyone who would listen to this music, would realise the terrific nature of the Judgement Day and refrain from his or her wicked ways.
Earnings management around equity issuances in Vietnamese listed firms
Authors: Nguyen Anh Thi Mai , Tran B-Ta , Nguyen Hiep Manh
Published: August 2022

This study examines accrual earnings management in Vietnamese listed firms around equity issuances. Using a matching approach, we find that issuers tend to report higher earnings by aggressive recognition of discretionary current accruals before and during the years of equity offering. This results in significantly larger abnormal stock returns for the issuing firm-years, as the capital market overvalues firms with higher accrual earnings. However, regression results show that investors are subsequently disappointed by negative reversals in earnings, and suffer from significant negative abnormal returns in the third year after the issuance. These results provide additional empirical evidence in an emerging and transition market context, and caution investors against fixation on reported earnings in equity offerings.
Large Impact of the Mg ii h and k Incident Radiation Change on Results of Radiative Transfer Models and the Importance of Dynamics
Authors: Gunár Stanislav , Heinzel Petr , Koza Július , Schwartz Pavol
Published: August 2022

We demonstrate that changes in the incident radiation in Mg ii h and k lines have a significant impact on the results of radiative transfer modeling of prominence-like plasmas. To uncover the extent of this impact and allow easy comparison, here we study two cases, one representing the minimum of the solar activity and the other corresponding to the typical conditions during solar maxima. To represent well the properties of the prominence plasma, we use the 2D non-LTE (i.e., departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium) model of prominence fine structures in both the single-thread configuration and the multithread configuration incorporating prominence dynamics. We show that in the modeled environment of prominence fine structures, the change in the central, integrated, and peak intensities of the synthetic Mg ii h and k profiles can be as large as the change in the incident radiation itself. This means that the Mg ii h and k spectra of observed prominences can be affected by tens of percent because the illumination from the solar disk can change by such a degree over the solar cycle. That makes the knowledge and use of event-specific incident radiation data very important for the diagnostics of prominences and other chromospheric and coronal structures when using Mg ii h and k spectral observations. In addition, the observed Mg ii h and k spectra are strongly influenced by the line-of-sight dynamics, as the multithread configuration of the 2D model allows us to reveal. The effect of dynamics is, unsurprisingly, most pronounced in the line widths and integrated intensities.
