Authors: Desak Putu Kristian Purnamiasih  , Pamenang Ganjar Unggul
Published: August 2023

Hiperbilirubinemia merupakan peningkatan kadar bilirubin pada bayi baru lahir, terutama pada minggu pertama kehidupan. Hiperbilirubinemia banyak terjadi pada bayi berat lahir < 2500 gram atau bayi yang lahir dari ibu dengan usia kehamilan kurang dari 37 minggu. Penanganan hiperbilirubinemia menggunakan beberapa terapi standar yaitu foto terapi, transfusi tukar atau kombinasi foto terapi dan transfusi tukar. Pijatan yang diberikan pada bayi dapat meningkatkan fungsi pencernaan melalui peningkatan intake nutrisi dan eliminasi yang secara langsung akan membantu mengurangi kadar bilirubin serum bayi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pijat bayi terhadap kadar bilirubin pada bayi yang mengalami hiperbilirubinemia. Metode yang digunakan adalah literature review yang didapatkan dari 11 artikel publikasi diantaranya melalui google scholar, PubMed, dan Science Direct dalam rentang tahun 2019-2021.  Hasil dari literature review menunjukkan bahwa pijatan pada seluruh tubuh bayi mempengaruhi motilitas saluran cerna, meningkatkan sirkulasi darah dan aliran limfe serta sirkulasi enterohepatik, meningkatkan jumlah urine sebagai media untuk mengeluarkan bilirubin. Kenyamanan yang diperoleh bayi selama proses pijatan sangat mempengaruhi kadar serotonin pada bayi dan secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi fungsi saluran pencernaan. Peningkatan fungsi saluran pencernaan akan meningkatkan intake nutrisi dan eliminasi dari saluran pencernaan dan perkemihan. Peningkatan fungsi saluran pencernaan yang dibuktikan dengan peningkatan intake nutrisi akan membantu proses konjugasi bilirubin, sedangkan peningkatan defekasi dan eliminasi urine akan membantu mengeluarkan bilirubin terkonjugasi.

Septoplasty- Does It Change the Quality of Life in Patients Having Nasal Obstruction?
Authors: Debbarma Priyanka , Jana Sonali , Guha Ruma , De Kumar Shankar , Adhikary Bivas
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is one of the most common causes of nasal obstruction. However, there are several other etiologies which cause difficulty in nasal breathing. The definitive treatment of symptomatic DNS is septoplasty. The efficacy of septoplasty remains controversial as there are no solid tools for clinical evaluation of patients for establishment of reliable statistical data. Our aim was to evaluate patients who have undergone septoplasty for symptomatic DNS, by following them up with the NOSE questionnaire for predicting the surgical efficacy of septoplasty.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study, conducted over 1 year. 50 cases of either sex of 18-65 years, having symptomatic DNS not relieved by medical management, and corrected by isolated septoplasty were included. The primary outcome was measured by the NOSE questionnaire, applied before surgery, and 6th week and 12th week after the procedure from which the 12th week nasal score was taken into consideration.
Results: The paired T test done among the variables showed a clear significance, proving the efficacy of the NOSE score in predicting the symptom reducing efficiency of septoplasty
Conclusion: The NOSE score can be used as a regular quality scoring system in analysing the outcomes of septoplasty.

The determination of research stations was carried out purposively (purposive sampling) for three representative aquaculture stations. This is so that it can represent or describe the condition of the waters of Mandalle Village. The cultivation method used in this study was the long line method as used by residents around the study site. Maintenance construction as a sampling unit at each station point, in the form of a 25-meter long rope span of 10 ropes with a distance between the ropes of 1 m. Each stretch rope contains 100-120 seedling clumps with a distance of 20 cm between the straps. Seaweed seeds with an initial weight of 50-70 grams, tied to clump ropes. Planting of seeds is carried out at a depth of 30 cm from the surface of the water. The cultivation construction distance is installed as far as 700-1000 m from the beach. Observation of growth is done by measuring the weight of each clump or the overall weight of each clump of each span rope, at the end of each maintenance cycle. The data obtained for 45 days is then calculated using the growth formula. Seaweed samples for observation of ectoparasites were taken at 3 (three) points of the cultivation area for each bundle of seaweed. The entire surface of the sample thallus was observed with the naked eye and the loop. The results of this study indicated that all observation stations on the South, North and West coasts were dominated by barnacle ectoparasites, followed by green mussels and worms with a total percentage of 90%. While the absolute growth between all stations is relatively the same.

Authors: Fernandes Silva Chagas do Nascimento Raquel , Pereira do Prado Dias Daniel , Silva Nogueira Gisele
Published: August 2023

O ramo da Biologia Molecular é essencial para o estudo do genoma e suas interações. Esta e outras áreas da ciência moderna são cruciais para o desenvolvimento da sociedade, pois melhoram as condições de vida e promovem a independência do país. Em sala de aula, os conteúdos abordados por esse tema tendem a ser de difícil absorção, principalmente por serem abstratos. Assim, é necessário que as metodologias de ensino-aprendizagem voltadas para esses conteúdos sejam realizadas de forma integrada e holística, levando em consideração os mais diversos recursos didáticos, lúdicos e inclusivos. Com o objetivo de investigar os tipos de recursos didáticos que têm sido utilizados em sala de aula para abordar esse tema, este trabalho teve como objetivo levantar os artigos submetidos ao Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC). Observou-se que o ramo de Biologia Molecular, como um todo, só começou a aparecer no ENPEC a partir de 2011. Além disso, o número de publicações nessa área é baixo em relação ao total de publicações em cada anais. A partir da análise dos artigos levantados, foi possível observar uma tendência dos autores em trabalhar com o conceito de “gene” e síntese proteica, aparecendo, respectivamente, em 5 e 4 artigos. O que esses relatórios têm em comum é a tentativa de solucionar o problema do nível de abstração e da complexidade com que o tema é abordado tanto na educação superior quanto na educação básica.
O PROCESSO DE INCLUSÃO ESCOLAR: MARCOS HISTÓRICOS E AVANÇOS NA EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA DO ENSINO REGULAR
Authors: Arlene Gouveia Rocha Barreto Joceline
Published: August 2023

Este artigo, busca apresentar uma discussão sobre como se dá o processo de inclusão escolar no Brasil, abordando sobre os marcos históricos, avanços na educação inclusiva no ensino regular. Espero, neste trabalho acadêmico, contribuir para a discussão sobre a importância de iniciativas educacionais que visam a luta por uma sociedade justa e igualitária a todos os sujeitos, independente de suas particularidades, e assim, possam ser reconhecidos como cidadãos de bens e direitos. Entende-se que inclusão é o processo de incluir em todos os âmbitos deste ensino regular, independentemente de raça, cor, etnia etc. É de suma importância este acesso ao conhecimento e aprendizagem, pois todos os sujeitos têm direito a uma educação de qualidade. Observar-se-á que o ensino ofertado aos alunos com deficiência ainda é visto como um paradigma na sociedade a qual estes indivíduos estão inseridos.  Falta de instrutura, de profissionais qualificados e recursos financeiros ainda são tidos como fatores de grande dificuldade para o desenvolvimento deste ensino e também, estes alunos são vistos como pessoas incapazes de adquirir conhecimentos e de se desenvolver.

Authors: Souza Alana Gonçalves , Pereira David Kennedy Martins
Published: August 2023

Objetivo: analisar publicações científicas sobre a relevância dos fatores de risco maternos para a predisposição ao desenvolvimento de Retinopatia da Prematuridade (ROP) em recém-nascidos prematuros. Materiais e Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. A pergunta norteadora definida para a investigação foi: “Quais são os fatores de risco maternos associados ao desenvolvimento da retinopatia da prematuridade?”. A busca dos artigos científicos ocorreu através das bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine), aplicando-se os descritores “Retinopathy of Prematurity” AND “Risk Factors”; e através da base Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) aplicando-se “Retinopathy of Prematurity” AND “Risk”. Resultados: parte dos artigos (n=5) foi publicada em 2021. Os estudos foram realizados no continente asiático (n= 6), América do Norte (n=2), Europa (n=1) e África (n=1). Todas as pesquisas ocorreram em ambiente hospitalar, tendo em comum a abordagem de fatores relacionados aos recém-nascidos, mas também de fatores maternos, que consiste no foco deste estudo de revisão. Em relação aos fatores de risco maternos, houve destaque da correlação entre comorbidades das mães e o desenvolvimento de ROP, mas também foram abordados fatores nutricionais e sociodemográficos. Conclusão: as características, complicações, comorbidades e alterações ligadas ao feto/lactente, especialmente, baixo peso ao nascer e menor idade gestacional parecem ser mais relevantes para a ocorrência de ROP do que fatores associados à mãe.

A amostra final, após aplicados todos os critérios de seleção, foi composta por cinco investigações. Resultados: no que diz respeito à amostra analisada, 40% compreenderam pacientes com diagnóstico de MM com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, sem levar em consideração o sexo. Outros 40% dos participantes, também portadores de MM e sem distinção de sexo, foram selecionados a partir de idade igual ou superior a 40 anos. Por fim, apenas um trabalho (20%) investigou médicos e o estudo possuía como objetivo avaliar, do ponto de vista profissional, as dificuldades de diagnosticar o MM na atenção primária. Conclusão: a principal dificuldade para o diagnóstico de MM na atenção primária foi o predomínio da idade avançada. A média de idade dos pacientes no momento do diagnóstico é de 70 anos ou mais, faixa etária que normalmente é acompanhada por outras comorbidades que podem mascarar os achados iniciais do MM.
Population Growth, Biofuel Production, and Food Security
Authors: Subramaniam Yogeeswari
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the relationship between population growth and food security, considering the role of biofuel production in 57 developing countries using a panel data approach. By employing the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator, the analysis reveals that the interaction between population growth and biofuel production has a significant and negative impact on food security. Specifically, the findings suggest that as the population increases, the adverse effects of biofuel production on food security intensify. Furthermore, the study explores this relationship across the four key dimensions of food security: availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. In each dimension, the negative interaction remains consistent, indicating that population growth exacerbates the detrimental impact of biofuel on food security in all aspects. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing the competing demands of biofuel production and food security, particularly in the context of population expansion. Policymakers must consider these dynamics when formulating strategies to mitigate food insecurity in developing countries.

Published: July 2023

The problem of searching videos in large databases i.e. multimedia applications is a major challenge. Therefore, video indexing is used to search the location of the particular video in a large database quickly. Quickly locating the video in the large database is the good quality of indexing. Still, there is a scope of improvement in quickly searching a video in a large database in terms of assigning labels to video. In computer vision, real-time object detection and tracking is a gigantic, vibrant yet indecisive and intricate area. You only look once (YOLO) algorithm is used to detect the object and background subtraction is used to track the object. In this paper, video indexing using object detection / tracking can be performed on single object in a video. In future, video indexing can be performed on multiple objects in a video.

Published: July 2023

Accurate identification of the newest 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is required for effective illness behavior and management. To categorize and analyses COVID-19 in the prevalent region, for (COVID-19) detection using medical images, computed tomography (CT) imaging is informative, reliable, and quick. Chest CT images are readily available in nearly all hospitals, making it possible to use them to classify COVID-19 patients early on. When COVID-19 infection spreads quickly, a significant amount of time are required for the chest CT-based COVID-19 categorization. Since medical practitioners have scarce time, a computerized analysis of CT scans is required. In this paper, we construct a classification framework involving the extraction of CT image characteristics and categorization. The framework is separated into training and testing modules, with training the classifier aiding in the development of a model that efficiently classifies CT images as input. Deep convolutional neural network including VGG16, ResNet50, DensNet121, and inspectionResNetV2, variations were utilized as classifiers in the present investigation (DCNN) different machine learning and Statistical modeling techniques to identify COVID-19 infections probability and discover lesion for training.
