Alexander Arsenyev and his participation in the expedition 1912-1913. On the 150th anniversary of the birth of V.K. Arsenyev
Authors: Khisamutdinova Natalya
Published: April 2022

На основе воспоминаний Александра Клавдиевича Арсеньева, младшего брата известного исследователя Дальнего Востока, путешественника и писателя В.К. Арсеньева (1872–1930), излагаются ранее неизвестные подробности об экспедиции 1912–1913 гг. (Уссурийской). Из-за ее секретного характера – поиск и выселение из края нелегально проживающих китайцев и корейцев – отчет о результатах экспедиции не публиковался, а путевой дневник ее руководителя – В.К. Арсеньева не сохранился. А.К. Арсеньев участвовал на начальном этапе похода в качестве вольнонаемного препаратора. Хотя в воспоминаниях он не раскрыл подлинных целей операции, назвав ее «экспедицией по изысканию старинных памятников», его рукопись позволяет выяснить условия, в которых проходило путешествие, понять отношения между коренным населением Южно-Уссурийского края и нелегально проживающими здесь китайцами и корейцами, узнать о научных интересах старшего брата (археологических и этнографических), которым он уделял внимание в экспедиции. В рукописи раскрыты и некоторые личностные качества В.К. Арсеньева и его спутников. В целом воспоминания А.К. Арсеньева являются ценным источником сведений как об экспедиции, так и о В.К. Арсеньеве. Наряду с данной информацией в статье содержатся факты из биографии А. К. Арсеньева (1983–1962). Будучи выпускником Константиновского межевого института в Москве, он приехал вместе с В.К. Арсеньевым в Хабаровск в 1911 г. для работы в Переселенческом управлении и в течение нескольких десятилетий (до 1940-х гг.) жил и работал на Дальнем Востоке, поддерживая тесную связь с семьей В.К. Арсеньева до его смерти в 1930 г.

The focus of the present study was to present a case of multilobar kidneys with smooth surface in one New Zealand white rabbit. It is well known that the kidneys of the rabbits are unipyramidal. During dissection it was found that there was an exception in one female animal which was clinically healthy and sexually matured, aged 8 months and with weight from 2.5 kg to 3.2 kg. After evisceration of both kidneys, and incision in the lateral borer of the fresh organs, it was found that the cortex and medulla were constructed by pyramidal shaped lobes. The apex of the lobes formed papillae and got up into calices into the real sinus. The renal pelvis was a concave structure. We conducted an imaging anatomical study. The anatomical preparations were studied in liquid isotonic medium, using ultrasound device with linear transducer. Thus we confirmed the results with these of the organs’ morphological features. The cortex with the fibrous capsule were hyperechoic, compared to the relatively hypoechoic image of the pyramidal lobes. The papillae forming the apex were outlined by the hyperechoic calices. The renal pelvis and hilus were hypoechoic findings. After fixation the kidneys in 10 % water solution of formalin the pyramidal shaped lobes were preserved and with well distinguished papillae. The calices protruded into the sinus. In all methods we found seven number of well-defined pyramidal shaped lobes.

Trabajo decente y personas trans: un análisis del Programa TransCidadania (2015-2016)
Authors: Ojeda Suárez Lucy Victoria , Morales Martínez Elías David
Published: April 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal analizar las imbricaciones entre el concepto de trabajo decente y la población trans a través del estudio de la primera edición del programa TransCidadania implementado en la ciudad de São Paulo en los años 2015 y 2016. Para ello, se utilizaron los métodos de análisis cualitativo, estudio de caso y evaluación del diseño conceptual y de diseño de programa para su análisis. Así, el programa se contextualizó en cuanto a su procedimiento y accesibilidad, funcionamiento y participantes; a su vez, se estableció la concordancia del programa con los cuatro pilares del trabajo decente. Se concluye que el programa TransCidadania corresponde enormemente a las recomendaciones de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo en cuanto a la mejora de las condiciones que brindan acceso al mercado de trabajo a las personas trans en situación de vulnerabilidad y que se sugiere su adaptación para realizarse en otras ciudades y países. Sin embargo, se recomienda adicionar estrategias de permanencia en el mercado laboral de los(as) participantes luego del programa, ya que no se pactaron mecanismos de empleabilidad en el sector privado ni la continuidad de la vinculación laboral en el lugar donde realizaron sus prácticas.

As viagens de lazer de turistas LGBTQIA+ pela perspectiva do hedonismo Onfrayreano
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Paraná (Brasil), Neves Christopher Bignardi , Brambatti Luiz Ernesto ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná (Brasil)
Published: April 2022

This study aims at identifying whether the behaviour of gay tourists on leisure trips manifests categories of post‑modern hedonism as posited by the French philosopher, Michel Onfray. The methodology used was a quali‑qualitative study, based on exploratory‑descriptive research. We chose to prepare a survey‑ ‑type research, which collected 1,403 responses from gay and bisexual male tourists. The results identified a profile of gay Brazilian tourists diverging from that found in the world tourism organisation reports. Al‑ though the group analysed does not represent high income nor international travel, they are domestic tour‑ ists and show no interest in travelling to participate in LGBTQIA+ Pride Parades; and disassociate them‑ selves from the LGBTQIA+ sex tourism segment. Michel Onfray’s hedonistic behavior is thus confirmed

ODNOS NACIONALNIH DRŽAVLJANSTAVA I GRAĐANSTVA EUROPSKE UNIJE U PRAKSI SUDA EU-a
Authors: Novak Stjepan
Published: April 2022

The citizenship of the Union, established by the Maastricht Treaty, became, by virtue of CJEU case law, a fundamental status of nationals of the Member States enabling those who find themselves in the same situation to enjoy the same treatment in law irrespective of their nationality. The paper aims to research how the CJEU expanded the EU law application by using the citizenship of the Union and where it set the limits to this expansion. To this end, following the introductory part of the paper, the issues of acquisition and loss of Union citizenship have been analysed. The third part of the paper researches into the CJEU case law regarding expansion of EU law application through the citizenship of the Union. This expansion was first conducted by eliminating both economic and cross-border links as conditio sine qua non of EU law application. The fourth part of the paper considers the possibility of emancipation of EU citizenship from the concept of Member State nationality regarding relevant TEU and TFEU provisions and CJEU case law. Finally, the paper concludes that CJEU has greatly encouraged the expansion of citizenship of the Union but has also limited this expansion by attaching it to national citizenship, which is in line with relevant TEU and TFEU provisions.
DEVELOPMENT OF SUB-MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Klarić Mirko
Published: April 2022

Local self-government is established as an institutional answer to create balance to the central government and improve democratic and development processes in the local community and the entire national society. On the other hand, sub-municipal government is established as a part of local political decentralization, with the aim of strengthening local political and administrative institutions of local government units. Both can be institutional solutions and an answer for initializing and supporting democratic processes in contemporary society. This article provides analysis of relations between political decentralization in local community and sub-municipal government as a tool for strengthening local political institutions in South-Eastern European countries. This analysis aims to show that sub-municipal government can be also a significant institutional instrument for changes in the local community.

Published: April 2022

Objectives:

Dareta village in Zamfara state of Nigeria is one of the villages plagued with the lead (Pb) poisoning crisis of 2010. Dareta and neighboring villages were remediated by simple excavation of topsoil rich in Pb, and burying same in landfills. This study was embarked to assess the physicochemical parameters of some sources of water supply and possible health impacts on humans.

Material and Methods:

The village was imaginarily mapped into three sites; Residential Homes (Site 1), Markets and Village Squares (Site 2), and Farms with Irrigation Facilities (Site 3). From the three sites, a total of 30 water samples (10 shallow wells, 10 boreholes, and 10 stream/surface water) were randomly collected, according to availability. The physical parameters (Temperature, Conductivity, and Total Dissolved Solids [TDS]) were assessed in situ using a conductivity/TDS meter (model 44600.00, HACH, USA), the assessment of pH was also carried out in situ using an electronic pH meter, (pH 210 micro-processor, Hanna Instrument, USA). The evaluation of heavy metals concentration (Pb, cadmium [Cd], chromium [Cr], and manganese) was done using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (modelAA-6800, Schemadzu, Japan).

Results:

In groundwater (boreholes and wells), the mean temperature and conductivity were higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) safety levels for “drinking water,” while those of TDS and pH were within the limits. In surface water (streams), the assessed physical parameters were not higher than the WHO safety limits, while the concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Cr were above the drinking water guidelines. The risk implication in the human populations consuming the water was determined using the estimated average daily intake (EADI) and the target hazard quotient (THQ). The EADI for Pb, Cd, and Cr for all the water sources in both adult and children consumer populations exceeded the reference dose by US-EPA. The THQ for Pb, Cd, and Cr in both adult and children consumer populations were >1.

Conclusion:

These findings portend toxicity and increased hazards for the human populations that source their drinking water from the borehole, well, and stream in this village.
The strategic role of good governance in quality care and control of cancer
Authors: Nwabuko Ogbonna Collins , Akaba Kingsley Onorhide , Nnoli Martin Anazodo
Published: April 2022

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and its economic impact is increasing on yearly basis, especially in transiting countries. The health outcomes (i.e., morbidity and mortality rates, quality-adjusted life years, disability-adjusted life years, life expectancy from birth, and infant mortality rate) of people living with cancers (PLWCs) depend largely on health financing which revolves around health economics and governance. This study highlighted the global burden of cancer disease and the role of good governance in improving the quality care and health indices of PLWC. To actualize this, the study focused on the application of a strategic operational framework of good governance and health financing for quality care and cancer control, especially in low-income countries, where there are leadership malfeasances. This short communication was an integrated review of works of literature on global cancer statistics updates, health economics, health governance, and palliative care of cancer patients using PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, cancer control guidelines, Google Scholar, and African Journal Online as databases. The paper presented a synthesis of the reviewed articles and the expected outcome of the possible interventions on cancer control. The article was analyzed and grouped according to the following categories namely health indices and social determinants of health (SDH) in a nation, health economics and health governance in cancer control, operational frameworks for cancer control, and palliative care in cancer control. To achieve sustainable cancer control in any nation, good political will, good governance, and equitable health financing are vital priority areas of action. Good governance can improve the quality of life of PLWC when the government in collaboration with other key stakeholders passionate about cancer control provides sustainable favorable SDH, in addition to operational frameworks for cancer control, protection, prevention, treatment, and awareness promotion.
Favorable management of symptomatic cerebellar hemangioblastoma presenting with obstructive hydrocephalus during pregnancy: A case report and literature review
Authors: Oda Kazunori , Amamoto Takaaki , Enomoto Toshiyuki , Kobayashi Hiromasa , Morishita Takashi , Iwaasa Mitsutoshi , Abe Hiroshi , Inoue Tooru
Published: April 2022

Background:

Cerebellar hemangioblastoma is a highly vascular benign tumor and the growth rate of hemangioblastomas is believed to often accelerate during pregnancy; however, the reason for this rapid increase in size remains poorly understood. There are several case reports of symptomatic hemangioblastoma during pregnancy; however, the favorable management strategy has not been well established.

Case Description:

A 35-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, with no significant medical history presented with vertigo and difficulty walking at around 11 weeks of pregnancy and was referred to our institute at 30 weeks of gestation because of worsening symptoms. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 5.6 cm cystic lesion with a mural nodule in the right cerebellar hemisphere and the lesion blocked cerebrospinal fluid drainage from the fourth ventricle and brainstem, resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus. After obtaining the patient’s consent, a multidisciplinary team consisting of obstetricians and neurosurgeons decided to perform resection of the intracranial lesion following delivery of the fetus by emergency cesarean section in view of the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. The patient’s general condition was confirmed to be stable postoperatively and she was discharged on the 16th day of her hospitalization without any neurological deficits or fetal complications.

Conclusion:

Urgent tumor resection combined with cesarean section can be planned once fetal lung maturity is confirmed. Most cases of symptomatic hemangioblastoma during pregnancy have an uneventful gestational course and a favorable outcome for both mother and child.
Cervical carotid occlusion in acute ischemic stroke: Should we give tPA?
Authors: Elder Theresa A. , Verhey Leonard H. , Schultz Haritha , Smith Eleanor S. , Adel Joseph G.
Published: April 2022

Background:

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to cervical internal carotid artery (cICA) occlusion is challenging to treat, with the lower revascularization rates, higher risk for complications, and poor response to thrombolytic therapy compared to isolated intracranial occlusions. While emergent revascularization through mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improves outcomes, the impact of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on outcomes in this subgroup of patients remains unclear. The objective of this study is to report our preliminary experience in treating AIS with cICA occlusions secondary to severe atherosclerotic stenosis and to establish the need for further clinical studies to determine the optimal intervention strategy for these lesions.

Methods:

Data were collected on patients who presented with acute cICA occlusion who underwent MT and either acute or staged carotid angioplasty and stenting. We compare patients who received tPA to those who did not, analyzing revascularization times, outcomes, and complications between the two populations, and discuss how this influenced our preferred treatment approach.

Results:

Twenty-one patients met inclusion criteria, seven of who received tPA and 14 did not receive tPA before surgical intervention. Procedural and functional outcomes were similar between the two populations. TPA administration correlated with a higher rate of vessel reocclusion in staged procedures and trended toward higher rates of symptomatic ICH and 90-day mortality.

Conclusion:

Emergent revascularization with acute cICA stenting carries advantages, but its safety is precluded by tPA administration. We suggest a trial which randomizes patients with cICA occlusions to receiving either tPA or dual antiplatelet therapy before surgical intervention, aiming to ultimately improved outcomes in these patients.
Review/perspective on hysterical paralysis: A diagnosis of exclusion for spinal surgeons
Authors: Epstein Nancy E.
Published: April 2022

Background:

Hysterical paralysis (HP) and/or conversion disorders (CD) are diagnoses of exclusion for spine surgeons. Before assigning this diagnosis to a patient, they must first undergo a full neurodiagnostic evaluation (i.e., X-rays, MR, CT/Myelo-CT) to rule out organic spinal pathology. Here, we reviewed select articles highlighting how to differentiate HP/CD patients from those with spinal disease.

Methods:

Several case studies and small series of patients with HP/CD were included in our analysis. Notably, prior to being assigned the diagnoses of HP/CD, patients had to first undergo X-ray, MR, CT, and/or Myelo-CT evaluations to rule out spinal disorders; typically, their neurodiagnostic studies were normal.

Results:

Patients with HP/CD often presented with varying clinical complaints of motor paralysis despite intact reflexes, normal sensory examinations, and lack of sphincter disturbance (i.e. intact rectal tone). Further, go and nogo functional MRI (fMRI) examinations demonstrated inconsistencies in areas of brain activation for patients with HP/CD complaints.

Conclusions:

HP/CD are diagnoses of exclusion, and patients should first undergo a full panel of neurodiagnostic studies to rule out organic spinal disease. While those with HP/CD should not have unnecessary operations, those with real “surgical pathology” should have appropriate spine surgery performed in a timely fashion.
Enhanced Expansion and Reduced Kiss-and-Run in Fusion Pores Steered by Synaptotagmin-1 C2B Domains
Authors: Di Bartolo Ary Lautaro , Tomes Claudia Nora , Mayorga Luis Segundo , Masone Diego
Published: April 2022

The fusion pore controls the release of exocytotic vesicles contents through a precise orchestration of lipids from the fusing membranes and proteins. There is a major lipid reorganization during the different stages in life of the fusion pore: membrane fusion, nucleation and expansion, that can be scrutinized thermodynamically. In this work, using restrained molecular dynamics simulations we describe the expansion of the fusion pore. We have calculated free energy profiles to drive a nascent, just nucleated, fusion pore to its expanded configuration. We have quantified the effects on the free energy of one and two Synaptotagmin-1 C2B domains in the cytosolic space. We show that C2B domains cumulatively reduce the cost for expansion, favoring the system to evolve towards full fusion. Finally, by conducting thousands of unbiased molecular dynamics simulations, we show that C2B domains significantly decrease the probability of kiss-and-run events.
Phenolic-rich beverages reduce bacterial TMA formation in an ex vivo-in vitro colonic fermentation model
Authors: Iglesias-Carres Lisard , Racine Kathryn , Neilson Andrew
Published: April 2022

The production of pro-atherogenic trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is dependent on the gut microbiota metabolism of quaternary amines (i.e., choline) into trimethylamine (TMA). Nutritional strategies that target microbial conversion of choline into TMA could reduce cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis burden by reducing subsequent formation of TMAO. This study aimed to evaluate 1) whether beverages rich in known inhibitors of TMA production (chlorogenic acid, catechin and epicatechin) can reduce TMA formation and 2) the effect of upper gastrointestinal digestion on efficacy. To do this, either raw or digested coffee, tea and cocoa beverages were evaluated for their TMA-d9 production inhibition in our ex vivo-in vitro fermentation model with human fecal slurries and choline-d9 substrate. Results showed that digestion was required to unlock the TMA-d9 production inhibition potential of coffee and cocoa beverages, and that teas did not possess a strong inhibition potential either digested or undigested. By fractionating digested bioactive beverages, we determined that those fractions rich in chlorogenic acid were the most bioactive. Overall, this study suggests that regular cocoa and coffee consumption could be a nutritional strategy able to reduce TMAO levels. In vivo studies should be carried out to confirm the potential of these beverages as strategies to inhibit TMA production.
The importance of a charge transfer descriptor for the screening of electrocatalysts at the example of CO2 reduction.
Authors: Ringe Stefan
Published: April 2022

It has been over twenty years, since the linear scaling of reaction intermediate adsorption energies has started to coin the fields of heterogeneous and electrocatalysis as a blessing and a curse at the same time. It has established the possibility to construct activity volcano plots as a function of a single or two readily accessible adsorption energies as descriptors, but also limited the maximal catalytic conversion rate. In this work, we find that these established adsorption energy-based descriptor spaces are not applicable to electrochemistry, because they are lacking an important additional dimension, the potential of zero charge (PZC). The PZC-dependence arises from the interaction of the electric double layer with reaction intermediates which does not scale with adsorption energies. At the example of the electrochemical reduction of CO2, we show that the PZC descriptor breaks the scaling relations, opening up a huge chemical space which is readily accessible via PZC-based material design. The PZC dependence also reveals intriguing material trends in close agreement with reported experimental data highlighting the importance of the PZC for electrocatalyst design.

Disponibilidad de biomasa para una biorrefinería de pequeña escala. Un caso de estudio basado en SIG
Authors: Riera María Antonieta , Palma Ricardo Raúl
Published: April 2022

En esta ocasión, se estimó la cantidad de residuos agrícolas que puede ser usada como materia prima en una biorrefinería. Se tomó como caso de estudio el país Ecuador, porque tiene gran actividad de este tipo. Se construyó una serie de tiempo para la producción agrícola anual empleando el modelo ARIMA por medio del software RStudio. Para los principales cultivos, se estimó la cantidad de residuos generados y, después, se realizó un análisis de redes vectoriales a través del software GRASS GIS. Los resultados indicaron que la principal fuente aparente de residuos es el banano, del cual se obtendrían hojas, cáscara, raquis y vástago, útiles en la elaboración de bioproductos. Con el uso del SIG se determinó que la mayor cantidad de cultivos se encuentran en dos regiones del país, con distancias superiores a 500 metros respecto a la red vial. Las características de Ecuador posibilitan la instalación futura de biorrefinerías de pequeña escala en el país.
On a new class of exact solutions of Quasi-Hydrodynamic system, generated by eigenfunctions of two-dimensional Laplace operator
Authors: Григорьева Вера Владимировна , Шеретов Юрий Владимирович
Published: April 2022

Квазигидродинамическая система была предложена Шеретовым Ю.В. в 1993 году. Она отличается от системы Навье-Стокса в динамике вязкой несжимаемой жидкости дополнительными дивергентными членами. В работе методом Громеки-Бельтрами построено новое однопараметрическое семейство точных решений квазигидродинамической системы, которые удовлетворяют также системе Навье-Стокса. Это семейство порождается собственной функцией двумерного оператора Лапласа.

The quasi-hydrodynamic system was proposed by Sheretov Yu.V. in 1993. It differs from the Navier-Stokes system in dynamics of a viscous incompressible fluid by the additional divergent terms. In this paper, the Gromeki-Beltrami method is used to construct a new one-parameter family of exact solutions of a quasi-hydrodynamic system, which also satisfy to the Navier-Stokes system. This family is generated by the eigenfunction of two-dimensional Laplace operator.

Published: April 2022

In order to increase customer satisfaction and maintain customer loyalty, logistics service providers must pay attention to the quality of service provided, one of which is effecive warehouse management, especially in scheduling the arrival and departure of products transporting vehicles. Therefore, this study discusses warehouse management in form of delivery and pickup scheduling at PT XYZ’s cross-docking warehouse. This study aims to obtain effective delivery and pickup scheduling and minimize operational costs. The Cross-docking Distribution Problem is an np-hard problem, so the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is used, which is a metaheuristic method in finding solutions. Based on the result, it was found that effective delivery and pickup scheduling was able to save inventory cost by 3.12% and reduce the percentage of delays from 73% to 0%. The scheduling process using Particle Swarm Optimization requires an average computation time of 26.2 seconds.
Factors Influencing TESOL from a Learner’s Perspective
Authors: Guan Honglei
Published: April 2022

This article will illustrate a typical English learning activity in an English training institution in Australia. Several international students, age ranging from 18 to 25 years old, were included in this study. All of these students are Asians, needing to improve their English level. Majority of the students come from Indonesia, Philippines, and China. The students attend the institution to improve their English skills before commencing their studies in Australian universities. There are 15 students from China and 5 students from other Asian countries, among which 12 are female students and 8 are male students. As the teachers are from China, some of them have a typical Chinese accent, while others have British or American accent. These are the context and setting of TESOL. From the perspective of one of the learners, an international student from China who had just arrived in Australia, the English learning context is general and typical in Australia, and there are also some common issues in learning in the context of TESOL. One of the issues is that students are quiet and do not actively respond to questions posed by the teachers. Another issue in TESOL is that most students are too shy to use English to communicate in the classroom.

ofventilator-associated pneumonia, which causes high mortality rates, prolonged hospitalizations,

excessive use of antibiotics and consequently increased health expenditures in adult patients with

endotracheal intubation worldwide, is possible with multidisciplinary team work. In this adversaria, it is

thought that the methods applied to eliminate the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia and nursing

Consuming moringa biscuits is one of the alternatives to overcome malnutrition in Indonesia. The results of modern scientific research show that moringa leaves can be a source of nutrition for all age groups.. This study aims to find out the difference in haemoglobin levels and mid-upper arm circumference in pregnant women by giving moringa leaf biscuits. This type of study is an analytic study with RCT design The study population of 70 pregnant women was divided into two groups of 35 respondents in a control group of 35 respondents in the intervention group. Sampling techniques use proportions of sampling. The Independent variables are the moringa biscuit giving, dependent variables haemoglobin levels and the size of mid-upper arm circumfrence (MUAC). Study results found an average increase in hb levels of the treatment group by 0.74 gr% with a p-value<0.05. The average increase in the MUAC size of the treatment group is 2.25 cm with a p-value of less than α = 0.05. The highest average increase in energy intake was found in the intervention group with an average increase of 174.51 kcal. Nutritional status in pregnant women such as anemia is relatively common during pregnancy because pregnant women experience hemodelusi (dilution) with a 30% to 40% increase in volume which peaks at 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy. The provision of snacks in the form of moringa biscuits becomes an alternative to overcome nutritional problems in pregnant women is highly recommended

Preterm infants have compromised immune systems where the maturity of the organs and body system is not optimum. The compromised immune system makes premature infants susceptible to micro-bacterial infections. Acute respiratory infection is the most common infection among them. This study aimed to investigate the significant difference in the length of acute respiratory infection before and after Earthing therapy. This research is a quasi-experimental study. The location is Sukoharjo District, Indonesia, from March to August 2021. The population in this study is preterm infants whose data is obtained from monthly reports on Central Java Statistic Agency. The number of samples of preterm infants was 192 infants. The sample size was 20 infants. Earthing duration is 1 hour every day for 30 days. The statistical analysis results in a P-value of 0,000 and t-count 8.065>t table 2.093, indicating a significant difference in the length of Acute Respiratory Infections among preterm infants before and after Earthing therapy. It is recommended that mothers of preterm infants continue to utilize Earthing devices longer to increase the immune system and prevent acute respiratory infection. Furthermore, using Earthing therapy is beneficial for improving the general immune system in preventing or accelerating the healing process of microbial infection with Earthing devices or straight to the ground.

Patient waiting times is an important factor that affecting hospital services quality. Waiting time will affect service satisfaction and repeat visits at the hospital, especially for outpatients. This study aims to determine the literature review of the patient waiting time at the hospital. Method: The literature review method with the PRISMA approach used in this literature review. Synthesis of data used the PICO method. The articles source was through Google Scholar, Pubmed NCBI and DOAJ. The inclusion criteria set were articles with the keywords "factor, waiting time, outpatients, hospitals", articles in Indonesian or English, published in 2012-2022, and accessible in full text. Results: In this literature, 10 articles were found that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 4 articles were obtained after the Covid 19 pandemic and 6 articles before the covid 19 pandemic. Before the covid 19 pandemic, the average waiting time for 6 articles was 83.62 minutes with the fastest time of 65 minutes and the longest time of 149 minutes. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the average waiting time for 4 articles was 42.6 minutes with the fastest waiting time of 19.2 minutes and the longest waiting time of 93 minutes. This shows that the waiting time is faster during the pandemic than before the pandemic. In the results, the factors that influence the waiting time before the pandemic are human resources and medical records. One article states that the waiting time factor is the type of hospital and gender. After the pandemic, the influencing factors were found: arrival time, number of patients, registration time, medical records and medical records. Conclusion: the addition of hospital staff and an electronic-based medical record system can be an effort that can be made to shorten waiting times. However, if this is not possible, information on the order and time of service to patients can be an alternative to reduce waiting times
