Published: December 2022

Oil palm, viewed from the economic aspect, can build a financial center to support regional economic growth. This study aims to determine the impact of oil palm plantations on the economy and the environment in Bengkulu Province. This study uses descriptive qualitative research using sources from various previous studies. It is equipped with multiple literature or literature reviews that will answer the research results on the impact of oil palm plantations on the economy and the environment. The study results reveal that oil palm plantations in Bengkulu Province improve people's welfare, create jobs, and contribute to regional development in Bengkulu Province. Extensive oil palm plantations hurt the environment, which results in regular flooding due to forest encroachment and large-scale opening of plantations so that forests and land cover are damaged; this results in significant surface runoff of rainwater and rainwater infiltration. Small scale causes an imbalance due to considerable runoff triggering erosion and land degradation. Facing this problem by maintaining forest and spatial planning by continuing reforestation, especially in the upstream area to keep it stable and handling the waste system and urban systems must be integrated, flood-prone points can be overcome.

Abstract: To predict something we need some background study to understand the pattern. On earth, every phase of human life is influenced by nature. As we cannot avoid the natural changes and conditions, we have chosen to minimize their effect on our lives. Therefore, to achieve this we need to know the weather conditions beforehand, to make things work according to the changes in the environment. Here comes the role of prediction. To carry out prediction, accurate classification of data is required. The main objective of this project is to design a weather prediction model. Agriculture is the field that is most influenced by the weather. So, we can extend our scope to provide regional guidelines to farmers depending upon the classification done. This paper explores the details of this project.

An ulcer is definite as a disease that happens owing to subside of the epithelial mucosal wall of the stomach when unguarded to an additional of hydrochloric acid and pepsin enzyme. Research for a potential anti-ulcer agent involves appropriate in vitro or in vivo models. Due to their anatomical, physiological, and genetic similarities to humans, rodents like mice and rats are ideal among the various animal models. In vivo methods are usually applied, as the sickly condition in human being can be imitated with distinct animal prototypes. The in vitro methods have been not often used for investigation of anti-ulcer agents.

A comparative pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic study of Vildagliptin SR 100 mg tablet in normal healthy adult male subjects
Authors: Warrier Sona , Joshi Harish R , Joshi Nidhi
Published: December 2022

Background: Vildagliptin, a potent dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor (DPP-4i), is usually administered twice daily to provide ≥90% inhibition of DPP-4 over 24 hours. Considering most type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients are on multiple medications, reducing dosing and pill burden can increase patient convenience. A 100 mg Vildagliptin sustained release (SR) formulation that would inhibit DPP-4 ≥ 80% over 24 hours with a lower dosing frequency was developed. The study was thus conducted to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile of once-daily Vildagliptin SR compared to twice-daily Vildagliptin immediate-release (IR) formulation.

Results: Twenty-four healthy adult male subjects were enrolled, and 22 completed the clinical phase of the study. The DPP-4 inhibition over time was comparable between the formulations. At 24 hrs single dose of once-daily Vildagliptin SR 100 mg tablet inhibited DPP4 by 89.58%, whereas twice-daily Vildagliptin IR 50 mg by 91.052%. The pharmacokinetic parameters like peak plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 hours to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) and AUC-time curve up to infinity (AUC0-inf) were not significantly different in both groups. Besides this, both groups reported no serious adverse effects during the study period.

Conclusion: The above result shows that once-daily Vildagliptin SR 100 mg is bioequivalent to twice-daily Vildagliptin IR 50 mg. Moreover, the ability of Vildagliptin SR 100 mg to provide above 80% DPP-4 inhibition coverage over 24 hrs may help to achieve a clinically meaningful glucose-lowering effect and reduce the pill burden in diabetes patients.

General practitioners' perceptions of the roles of community pharmacists and their willingness to explore collaboration with pharmacists in primary care
Authors: Chong Joy Boon Ka , Yap Clivia Yao Hua , Tan Shawn Lien Ler , Thong Xuan Rong , Fang Yang , Smith Helen E.
Published: December 2022

Background Community pharmacists (CPs) have the capacity to contribute
to patient care given their expertise in medication and accessibility to
residents in the community. However, multidisciplinary patient care
programmes where CPs collaborate with general practitioners (GPs) in
patient care is rare in Singapore despite increasing healthcare demand.
Objectives This study explores GPs’ perceptions of CPs’ current roles
and GPs’ ideas for and attitudes towards interprofessional
collaboration. Methods Semi-structured qualitative interviews were
conducted with 20 private GPs from August to December 2020 via an online
video-chat platform. GPs were recruited from the Primacy Care Research
Network (pcRn), primary care networks, and using snowballing strategies.
All interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded thematically.
Results Current working relationships between GPs and CPs appeared
amicable but limited. GPs appreciate the existing roles of CP:
dispensing drugs not stocked in their practices and clarifying
prescription details. Still, GPs appeared to rarely consider
collaborative working. GPs acknowledged that CPs could enhance patient
care with initiatives including medication reconciliation and advising
on using medical devices. It was suggested that CPs could coordinate the
purchase of drugs for primary care networks to improve GPs’ inventory
management, but less enthusiasm was expressed for clinical
collaborations with CPs. Major concerns about GP-CP clinical
collaborations included direct competition with GPs’ own business
interests, perceived low acceptability of pharmacy-led services by
patients (citing extra time and cost), threat to continuity of care and
the absence of a shared patient electronic health record system. Current
funding mechanisms do not enable reimbursement of clinical services
provided by CPs. Adoption of telemedicine technologies and governmental
financial support were identified as possible enablers of GP-CP
collaboration. Conclusions GPs saw potential in CPs’ increased
involvement in patient care but perceived multiple barriers. Strategies
focusing on overcoming these barriers could enable GP-CP collaboration
to enhance patient care.

Published: December 2022

The present work discusses IR spectroscopic experiments and quantum- chemical DFT study of structure and intermolecular binding in the intermediate gas?liquid systems of aromatics, namely, benzene, furane, pyridine and thiophene. These systems can be generated in thin layers near a solid surface by two different methods, depending on the physical properties of the sample. The first method includes evaporation with a subsequent compression of a sample in an optical cell of variable thickness, and it is applied to volatile components: benzene, furane, thiophene. For benzene and pyridine the second method is used, which involves a heating-initiated evaporation into a closed inter-window space with an after-cooling of a sample. It was shown that the formed layer is not an adsorbate or a condensate. The IR data obtained by these two methods lead to conclusion that the given systems of the considered aromatics manifest dual gas?liquid spectral properties which can change each into other by varying external conditions. According to the DFT calculation results, the spatial arrangement in the aromatic thin layers can be described as a combination of ?- and ?-bonded clusters, which simulate the gas and the liquid phase state properties.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases dementia risk, but clear evidence to recommend interventions that can mitigate that risk remains lacking. This population-based retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether new use of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors was associated with lower dementia risk.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Ontario residents aged ≥66 years who were new users of an SGLT2 inhibitor or a DPP-4 inhibitor from 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2021 entered the cohort. Incident dementia was identified using a validated algorithm for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Propensity score–weighted Cox proportional hazards models were used to obtain adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and CIs for time to incident dementia. To address reverse causality and disease latency, the observation window started at 1-year lag time from cohort entry. The primary analysis followed intention-to-treat exposure definition, and a secondary as-treated analysis was performed.

RESULTS

Among 106,903 individuals, SGLT2 inhibitors compared with DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with lower risk of dementia (14.2/1,000 person-years; aHR 0.80 [95% CI 0.71–0.89]) over a mean follow-up of 2.80 years from cohort entry. When stratified by different SGLT2 inhibitors, dapagliflozin exhibited the lowest risk (aHR 0.67 [95% CI 0.53–0.84]), followed by empagliflozin (aHR 0.78 [95% CI 0.69–0.89]), whereas canagliflozin showed no association (aHR 0.96 [95% CI 0.80–1.16]). The as-treated analysis observed a larger association (aHR 0.66 [95% CI 0.57–0.76]) than the intention-to-treat analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

SGLT2 inhibitors showed an association with lower dementia risk in older people with T2D. Randomized controlled trials are warranted.

Influence of the Scalpel Finishing Technique on Marginal Gap Formation in Class II Resin Composite Restorations
Authors: Soliman S , Krastl G , Winkler A , Frankenberger R , Hahn B
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Modern adhesives and composites allow the restoration of deep defects. In such cases, the matrix technique is particularly challenging, and excess composite is a common problem. Removing such overhangs with a scalpel has already been described as a substance preserving or selective finishing technique. Clinically, restoration margins may appear as a white line after scalpel finishing, and it is unclear whether this line represents a marginal gap and/or whether scalpel finishing promotes marginal gap formation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of scalpel finishing of deep Class II composite restorations on marginal gap formation.

Methods and Materials

Standardized mesioocclusal-distal (MOD) cavities were prepared and restored in 60 human molars randomly divided into six finishing protocol groups: G1, scalpels (SC); G2, oscillating files (OF); G3, finishing strips (FS); G4, scalpels and finishing strips (SC+FS); G5, scalpels and polishing discs (SC+PD); G6, polishing discs alone (PD, controls). The groups were additionally assigned to finishing and polishing in a phantom head (groups 1–4) or hand-held setting (groups 5–6) to simulate clinical and in-vitro research conditions, respectively. After restoration, artificial aging was performed by thermocycling (5–55°C, 2500 cycles) and mechanical loading (50 newtons (N) with 500,000 cycles) prior to scanning electron microscopy analysis of proximal restoration margin quality on the mesial and distal surfaces (n=120) of each tooth. Outcomes (perfect margin, marginal gap, overhang, marginal fracture) were statistically analyzed by t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, single-factor analysis of variance, post-hoc t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn-Bonferroni correction for multiple group comparisons. Cohen’s effect size d(Cohen) was calculated to show the strength of the relationship between variables.

Results

Overall, marginal quality was significantly better in the hand-held setting (SC+PD and PD) than the phantom head setting (SC, OF, FS, SC+FS). The best marginal quality was achieved with oscillating files in the phantom head setting and with scalpels plus polishing discs in the hand-held setting. Marginal gaps occurred significantly more often with scalpels, but the proportion of gaps was very low and clinically insignificant. Finishing strips were the least effective instruments for removing overhangs but performed better in combination with scalpels.

Conclusions

Scalpel finishing can effectively and gently remove overhangs from enamel. However, blades should be used with caution as they can cut the dentin and cementum. Scalpel finishing does not lead to a clinically relevant increase in marginal gaps, but should be followed by polishing, whenever possible, to eliminate any marginal fractures that might be present.

Data SIPSN tiga tahun terakhir menunjukkan timbulan sampah di Kabupaten Langkat meningkat 24,71% atau dari yang awalnya 152.099 menjadi 189.685 ton. Lebih dari 42% timbulan sampah disumbangkan oleh sektor domestik yang seharusnya dapat dikelola sedekat mungkin dari sumbernya. Dengan demikian, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pelatihan agar masyarakat lebih memahami cara mengurangi timbulan sampah dengan mengubahnya menjadi produk yang bermanfaat. Pelatihan dilaksanakan pada 5 Agustus 2021 di Rumah Komunitas Pohon Rindang, Desa Perkebunan Bukit Lawang, kepada 43 anak usia 8-15 tahun. Metode yang digunakan adalah penyuluhan interaktif dengan memberikan demonstrasi cara membuat keranjang takakura dan stringbag. Keranjang takakura 45x37x57 cm dapat menampung hingga 1,5 kg sampah organik basah per hari, sedangkan pembuatan pakaian bekas menjadi stringbag dapat menunda pembuangan material ke TPA. Dalam jangka panjang kegiatan ini diharapkan menjadi kebiasaan baru bagi masyarakat dalam mengelola sampah untuk menjadikan Desa Perkebunan Bukit Lawang sebagai desa pariwisata yang berkelanjutan.

The Path from the Idea Of Social Truth to Compromise with the Bolsheviks in the Publications of the Ideologist of the Renovationist Split, Prof. B.V. Titlinov
Authors: Timofey A. Balyko
Published: December 2022

The article discusses the development of the idea of the “social truth of the Gospel” in the works of Professor of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy B.V. Titlinov, who, after the February Revolution of 1917, became one of the active supporters of the new liberal government, and in 1922 veered into the Renovationist schism in the Russian Orthodox Church, became a key figure in Renovationism, one of the ideologists of the Renovationist schism. The author of the study, based on the texts of Titlinov from different years, proposes to identify the point that made it possible to establish a certain compromise between the renovation movement and the Bolshevik authorities of socialist Russia. A feature of this historical moment was the situation in which what for B.V. Titlinov and other Renovationists was an attempt to reconcile Christianity and revolutionary socialism, for the Bolsheviks themselves it was exclusively a tool for the defeat of Christianity in Russia. The antagonism of these two views — Christianity and Bolshevism — was manifested even at the time of the First Russian Revolution of 1905-1907, although the desire for social truth was also expressed by church liberal democrats of these years, to which Titlinov can be attributed, and the leader of the Bolshevik socialists V.I. Lenin.
“Does Not Allow the Righteous to Remain Careless”: Socialist Revolution in the Conservative- Democratic Discourse of the 19th Century
Authors: Aleksandr Ed. Kotov
Published: December 2022

Considering society to be the main subject of nation-building, the Slavophiles and the Pochvenniks acted as a kind of conservative democrats. In this, their views coincided with the views of publicists of an earlier generation, usually ranked among the supporters of the “official nationality”. Their political outlook was based on anticlass pathos, the desire to form a national identity on the basis of a peculiarly understood Orthodox spirituality. The main objects of criticism of the Slavophil publicists were “aristocratic opposition” and “revolutionary conservatism”: those forms of conservative politics and ideology that provoked revolutionary upheavals and were thus their root cause. Left radicalism was considered by Slavophile publicists as one of the varieties of “despotism of theory over life”. Not recognizing the positive content in it, the Slavophiles considered it a symptom of a disease that struck the national organism. The publication on the pages of Aksakov’s “Rus” of the unfinished cycle of K.K. Tolstoy marked the beginning of a number of publications devoted to the problems of nihilism and written by N.N. Gilyarov-Platonov and N.Ya. Danilevsky. Considerations of Gilyarov-Platonov were developed by his nephew — F.A. Gilyarov. However, his book “15 years of sedition” contained sharp attacks on the authorities and the “Katkovsky direction”. The most serious philosophical study of the problems of nihilism was the numerous works of N.N. Strakhov. Over time, the revolutionary ideology changed. “Pure” nihilism was receding into the past as early as the 1870s; the Narodniks and Marxists themselves considered themselves to be the bearers of a positive program. For their part, the conservatives did not recognize this positive element — and, arguing even with the Marxists, they continued to use the polemical arsenal of the former anti-nihilistic discourse. At the same time, there was no unified approach to Marxism in conservative circles. So, for D.I. Ilovaisky, he is a phenomenon alien to Russia. For S.F. Sharapov, Marxism, on the contrary, was a product of Russian life.
“The Terrible Danger is Looming...”: Archbishop Vitaly Maximenko and Socialism
Authors: Elizaveta O. Kovaleva
Published: December 2022

The article considers the attitude of a famous cleric and the most prominent representative of the Black Hundred movement in Volhynia, Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko), towards the theory and practice of socialism. The views of Father Vitaly on socialist doctrine are reconstructed here based on periodicals and his writings, most of which are introduced into the academic discourse for the first time. The article demonstrates that the Archimandrite of the Pochaev Lavra took a dim view both of socialists themselves and the main points of their doctrine and their practical implementation. He denied the idea of blending Christianity and socialism. At the same time, Vitaly (Maximenko) developed intense socio-economic activities aiming to relieve the plight of the Volhynian peasantry and prevent it from becoming a social base of left-wing parties. Rejecting socialism as a political ideology and condemning it from the religious perspective, the Pochaev Archimandrite still properly understood the needs and aspirations of Volhynian peasants. He managed to tear them away from the influence of the leftist parties and organized them into the largest department of the Union of the Russian People.
