Authors: Amadi Collins , Lawson Stephenson , Wala Kelachi T. , Owamagbe Emmanuel M. , Amadi Nkeiruka J.
Published: May 2023

Background: The relationship between dyslipidemia and the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has extensively been characterized in the Western population with a dearth of data among Nigerians. Hence, the current study evaluated the lipid/lipoprotein disorders inherent in COVID-19 and its relationship with disease severity among Nigerians.

Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted among 600 patients with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 at the Eleme COVID-19 treatment facility in Port Harcourt, Southern Nigeria. Data were obtained from medical records using validated acquisition templates and analyzed based on lipid/lipoprotein abnormalities and disease severity status.

Results: Among those studied, 54.7% had dyslipidemia while others were normolipidemic. HDL-C dyslipidemia was the most common with a preponderance of hypoalphalipoproteinemia (84.4%). Dyslipidemia afflicted mostly middle-aged, males, urban dwellers, the overweight, and those with classic COVID-19-induced respiratory symptoms. Dyslipidemic cohorts had higher pro-calcitonin, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, total white cell count, and neutrophils, but lower albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet counts compared to the normolipidemic cohorts. Dyslipidemic cohorts with concurrent severe COVID-19 had lower levels of TChol, Tg, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels compared to patients with the less-severe disease. HDL-C was the only lipid/lipoprotein parameter that was associated with severe COVID-19 on crude (OR:8.65; CI:5.96-11.44; p<0.001) and adjusted (OR:8.11; CI:5.65-10.87; p<0.001) regression models compared to other lipid/lipoprotein indices. At 96.77% sensitivity and 89.20% specificity, HDL-C had robust predictive potentials (AUC:0.97; CI:0.84-1.00; p<0.001) over COVID-19 severity.

Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is frequent among those presenting with COVID-19 in association with disease severity, especially among the HDL-C dyslipidemic cohorts. Hence, these findings should be factored in during COVID-19 treatment among Nigerians with the disease.

Aims

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) deficiency is thought to be one of the causes of heart failure induced by atrial fibrillation (AF). Although ANP deficiency is thought to occur as a result of atrial remodeling, data to explain this mechanism are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between ANP and left atrial remodeling or prognosis of heart failure in patients with AF ablation.

Methods

In total, 373 consecutive patients who underwent initial ablation for persistent AF [age, 67 ± 10 years; female, 97 (26%)] were retrospectively enrolled. ANP and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured before the procedure and the ANP/BNP ratio was calculated. Left atrial volume index, left atrial appendage emptying velocity, and left atrial low-voltage areas (LVAs) were used as left atrial-remodeling parameters. The primary outcome of heart failure was defined as the composite of all-cause death or hospitalization due to worsening heart failure.

Results

The median ANP level was 116 (71–178) pg/ml and the median ANP/BNP ratio was 0.65 (0.46–1.00). The ANP/BNP ratio decreased with increasing left atrial volume index or LVAs and with decreasing left atrial appendage emptying velocity. During the 5-year follow-up, freedom from the primary outcome was significantly lower in patients with ANP/BNP ratio ≤0.65 than in those with ANP/BNP ratio >0.65 (84.6% versus 95.6%, P < 0.01).

Conclusion

Secretion of ANP relative to BNP decreased with progression of left atrial remodeling in patients with AF ablation. Furthermore, prognosis of heart failure was poor in patients with a low ANP/BNP ratio.

The proximate composition and mineral contents of eggs from quail (Coturnix japonica) turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) commercial chicken (Gallus domesticus), local chicken (Gallus domesticus) guinea fowl, (Numida meleagris) and duck (Cairina moschata) obtained in Minna, Nigeria were studied. Standard laboratory procedures were used in determining the nutrients and mineral compositions of the egg samples. The local chicken eggs had significantly higher crude fat (11.73 ± 0.18%), ash (1.38 ± 0.01%), zinc (3.23 ± 0.11 mg/100 g), and manganese (0.44 ± 0.01 mg/100 g) contents, it also showed the lowest phosphorus (120.00 ± 3.50 mg/100 g, iron (19.70 ± 0.60 mg/100 g) and vitamin A concentration (1.62 ± 0.59 × 103 μg/L). Quail egg had the highest (p < 0.05) vitamin A (4.16 ± 0.16 × 103 μg/L) and protein (13.49 ± 0.33%) contents. The moisture content was significantly higher in guinea fowl eggs (80.28 ± 0.41%) than in others. The outcome of this study indicated that some eggs which are seemingly underutilised may provide an enormous supply of nutrients needed for adequate human nutrition and health. Hence, if properly exploited they may substantially improve the quality of diet.

Published: May 2023

The construction sector is a contributor to increase number of accidents and occupational illness. Unsafe behavior in the workplace is directly related to work accidents. One of the factors that can influence unsafe behavior is the worker's perception of the safety climate. This study aims to analyze the correlation between perceptions of safety climate and unsafe behavior of construction workers on the renovation project of PT X in Nusa Dua. Quantitative research was conducted using an analytical cross-sectional approach. Respondents in the study are 200 people who were selected by the block sampling method. This study found that the proportion of respondents behaved unsafely was 60.5%. Unsafe behavior was found to be significantly related to safety empowerment management (p=0.042), worker commitment (p=0.012), priority and risk tolerance (p=0.007), and communication and trust in implementation (p=0.040). In multivariate analysis, respondents who have good perceptions of communication and trust in implementation had a 2.63 times chance of reducing unsafe behavior compared to who had sufficient perceptions. As an effort to increase safety behavior, workers are expected to be more concerned with the risk of hazards in the workplace by complying with occupational safety health programs.

Communicating for Sustainable Development. How Social Enterprises Aim at Differentiating Themselves Online from Profit-Maximizing Competitors
Authors: Bausch Anika , Diehl Sandra , Karmasin Matthias
Published: May 2023

Sustainable development is the pressing issue of our time. One of many goals within sustainable development is to transform lifestyles and the economy with sustainable production and consumption patterns. Social enterprises are seen as an organizational form with transformational potential for such sustainable patterns. In this paper, we analyzed social enterprises’ contents on various online communication channels to identify how they position themselves as more sustainable organizations with aims and values that differ from the profit-maximizing sector. We conduct a qualitative content analysis of the strategic communication of five successful social enterprises from Germany. Our results show that social enterprises use distinctive characteristics in their communication that differentiate them from the profit-maximizing sector and that are also reflected in the literature and in framing and signalling theory. Social enterprises clearly relate to their sustainability and provide recipients with tips on how to consume and live more sustainably but also frame themselves as “better” alternatives and change makers.

Introduction to Thermo-Photo-Electronics
Authors: Ordin Stanislav  V.
Published: May 2023

Building the foundations of Thermo-Photo-Electronics became possible only after the correction of thermodynamic errors in the traditional theory of semiconductor Electronics and Photo-Electronics. It is these errors that determined the output of the asymptotics of the operating parameters of semiconductor electronic devices, in particular, both the saturation of the limiting clock frequency of processors, and the saturation of the efficiency of both thermoelectric and photoelectric converters. But in semiconductors, although these thermodynamic errors manifested themselves not only in the instrumental, but also in the technological aspect, they could not prohibit semiconductor Electronics itself, unlike Electronics based on other materials. It’s just that a number of qualitative mistakes were made in the theory of semiconductor devices and photo devices. In this work, it is shown that the energy band diagram of semiconductor contacts itself was constructed with a significant omission—without taking into account the temperature force on the contact. At the same time, because of the incorrect calculation of currents according to the outdated formulas of Richardson-Langmuir-Deshman, there were also PROHIBITIONS. So the practitioners compensated for the errors of the theory with “empirical corrections”. So electronics engineers often made devices not according to a strict theory (which simply did not exist until now), but on a hunch and according to empirical local laws. And only the correction of the historical mistakes made it possible to expand the phenomenology of the description of processes in a Solid Body, on the basis of which it is possible to make calculations of highly efficient elements of Photo-Thermo-Electronics.

Published: May 2023

Objective:   Kinesiophobia is an excessive fear of physical activity or movement so that patients tend to avoid moving their painful limbs. Not many longitudinal studies have reported that progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) have a direct impact on the level of Kinesiophobia. Therefore, we explored the effect of a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise on kinesiophobia in outpatients with chronic musculoskeletal pain in Surabaya.Methods:   This study had 43 respondents who all completed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for 5 weeks, 21 respondents were randomized to receive a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise and received standard physiotherapy interventions, while the control group consisted of 22 respondents only with standard physiotherapy interventions. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) is used to assess the level of Kinesiophobia experienced by patients.Results:   1. In the experimental group that was given a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise and standard physiotherapy, the initial mean score without the scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) was 51.73 points, and after the intervention it was 42.32 points.2. As for the control group which was only given standard physiotherapy intervention, the initial average score without the scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) was 51.71 points, and after the intervention it became 48.33 points.3. The Effect of a Combination of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Slow Deep Breathing Exercise on Kinesiophobia in Outpatients in Surabaya, with a p-value = (p <0.05).Conclusion:  The combined progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) combination technique is safe to apply to patients with Kinesiophobia disorder because it has relatively no side effects and is practical in its application. The findings from this study support that combination therapy of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) offers beneficial outcomes for patients experiencing chronic pain, as well as for preventing and treating Kinesiophobia.

he oil and natural gas sector is a sector that is used with great importance for Indonesia's national development. An interesting commodity to watch out for in the oil and gas industry is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that has been liquefied under pressure to facilitate storage, transportation, and handling and the main ingredients consist of propane/C3, butane/C4 or can be mixed to produce mixed LPG..At this time PT. BLORA MUSTIKA does not focus on when household needs increase and when not, the meaning of this is that LPG gas data is not used properly and is only recorded, this of course makes PT BLORA MUSTIKA unable to predict demand from sub-distributors and results in frequent an empty supply of LPG gas causing difficulties for the community to obtain 3 Kg LPG gas. This problem can be calculated and compared with the Multiple Linear Regression and K-Means methods.By using the Multiple Linear Regression and K-Means method, it is hoped that it will make it easier for PT. BLORA MUSTIKA in determining demand predictions from sub-distributors so that there is no shortage of LPG gas supplies and which method can be obtained which is more effective and efficient.

Authors: Yusran Umniyah Musdhalifah
Published: May 2023

Shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma) is a pelagic fishery resource and has a high level of production. Fish is very easy to lose quality, so if fish are not handled properly during the distribution chain, the quality of fish is poor when it reaches consumers. This study aims to determine changes in the physical, chemical quality and food safety of Shortfin scad in each distribution chain. The research was conducted from November 2021 to February 2022. The method used in this study was observation using purposive sampling technique. The test results show the initial value of distribution in FLB Lonrae, namely pH; 6,6, TVB ; 9.3 mg-N/100g, peroxide value ; 5.06 mEq/kg, and negative formalin. The final value of distribution after arriving at the consumer area is pH ; 5,7, TVB ; 27,5 mg-N/100g, peroxide value ; 6.04 mEq/kg, and negative formalin. Overall, the quality of the shortfin scad after landing until it reaches the consumer area experiences a change in quality decline in each distribution chain. However, the shortfin scad that arrives at the end consumer area does not exceed the quality standard of fish that is not safe for consumption so that the shortfin scad is still fresh and fit for consumption.

Much discussion about large language models and language-and-vision models has focused on whether these models are intelligent agents. We present an alternative perspective. We argue that these artificial intelligence models are cultural technologies that enhance cultural transmission in the modern world, and are efficient imitation engines. We explore what AI models can tell us about imitation and innovation by evaluating their capacity to design new tools and discover novel causal structures, and contrast their responses with those of human children. Our work serves as a first step in determining which particular representations and competences, as well as which kinds of knowledge or skill, can be derived from particular learning techniques and data. Critically, our findings suggest that machines may need more than large scale language and images to achieve what a child can do.

Semantic context effects in picture naming and categorization tasks are central to the development and evaluation of current models of word production. When pictures are named in a semantically blocked context, response latencies are delayed. Belke (2013) found that when the naming task was replaced with a semantic categorization task (natural vs. man-made), response latencies were facilitated. From this pattern, she concluded that semantic interference in blocked picture naming has its locus at the lexical level but its origin at the preceding semantic level. However, other studies using the blocking procedure have failed to find facilitation in semantic categorization tasks (Damian et al., 2001; Riley et al., 2015), calling this conclusion into question. In three blocked picture naming and categorization experiments, we investigated different variables that might account for the discrepant results in semantic categorization. We used different semantic categorization tasks, different response modalities, different response set sizes, and different blocking procedures. Semantic facilitation was reliably found in naturalness categorization, but there was no semantic effect in natural size categorization. We discuss the implications of these findings for appropriate task selection.

Published: May 2023

Background: The Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) has been used worldwide as a valid and consistent instrument to investigate the bidimensional structure of affect. Researchers can adapt PANAS from English to other languages by developing a new scale or translating directly from the original. This review describes and evaluates the currently available PANAS translations according to instrument transcultural adaptation standards. We sought to improve the reliability and quality of transcultural investigations of the affective structure. Method: A systematic review based on Pubmed, NCBI, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO and Scielo was performed to identify PANAS-based new scale developments, translations and validation studies from 11th to 16th November 2020.Results: We detected 3 PANAS-based instruments developed in Japanese, Estonian and Portuguese (Portugal), 19 PANAS translations (Arabic; Chinese; French - 2; Hindi; Italian; Norwegian; Brazilian Portuguese; Romanian; Russian; Serbian; Spanish: Spain - 3, Mexico - 2, Argentina, Chile; Tunisian Arab), and 23 validation studies. According to our classification criterion (from A to G level of quality), no study reached the A level.Limitations: We included only manuscripts in English, Spanish, and Portuguese (PT and BR). Only three PANAS-based scale developments were found.Conclusions: Most transcultural adaptations of the PANAS show low compliance to adaptation standards. Based on the results of a systematic review of currently available instruments and their psychometric properties, we propose a guideline of procedures for future researchers aiming to translate and adapt scales.

Representation of Nature of Science (NoS) in Indonesian Physics Textbooks: a case of heat and temperature concepts
Authors: Nur Azizah Rahmah Salamah
Published: May 2023

Learning science including physics cannot be separated from the nature of science or Nature of Sciencen (NoS). Understanding of NoS is very important in the world of education in schools because by understanding NoS students will find it easier to understand the concept of physics in learning at school. For this reason, this study aims to determine the representation of NoS in eleventh grade high school physics textbooks for the concepts of temperature and heat using the content analysis method. The research sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique. Of all the physics textbooks for eleventh grade of high school, only 5 physics textbooks with different publishers analyzed 10 aspects of NoS. The results showed that the frequency of the appearance of the ten aspects of NoS in the five physics textbooks for eleventh grade was different. Book 1 (Erlangga) has 36.64 percent, book 2 (Mediatama) has 18.32 percent, book 3 (Grafindo Media Pratama) and book 4 (Yrama Widya) has the same percentage, namely 14.50 percent. Meanwhile, book 5 (Yudhistira) has an appearance frequency of 16.03 percent. The number of NoS aspects of the five books mostly raises aspects of social and cultural cultivation in science. On the other hand, the aspect that is not raised at all in the five textbooks above is the creative aspect. In general, the five physics textbooks that were analyzed had explicit aspects of NoS, but some were conveyed implicitly. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the five physics textbooks have not conveyed aspects of NoS explicitly, correctly and completely.
Considering Cultural Diversity in Disaster Mental Health Planning and Crisis Management
Authors: Kouhirostamkolaei Mahtab
Published: May 2023

Psychological First Aid (PFA) and FEMA crisis counseling services (CCP) are becoming more prevalent for post-disaster mental healthcare, but they are intended only for short-term support. Many survivors will thus needlessly endure lengthy suffering from severe illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was established in 1979, most American communities developed emergency plans to provide survivors with medical care immediately following a disaster. Although calamities also emotionally traumatize about 20% of victims for long periods of time, few of these same communities have established preparedness plans for disaster mental health interventions. To offer maximum wellbeing, communities need to effectively assess and respond to the mental health needs seriously arising, as well as develop psychological preparedness plans that will immediately address further long-term problems from worsening natural and human-caused events.
