General public’s view on opt-in, opt-out, and mandated choice organ donation policies: a qualitative study involving Swiss French-speaking citizens favourably disposed towards organ donation
Authors: Kurzen Janine , Clavien Christine , Hurst Samia
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: All over the world, patients die while waiting for a transplant. Facing this difficulty, countries struggle to find efficient procedures and policies. One policy that has recently been enforced in many countries is the presumed consent (opt-out) system for organ donation. In such a system,  every individual is considered as a potential organ donor except in cases of expressed refusal during her or his lifetime. Based on the input of a citizen’s initiative, the Swiss parliament has made a proposal for a soft presumed consent policy.It was accepted by both chambers at the national level,  but will possibly be challenged by a referendum, and give rise to a public vote.
OBJECTIVE: Ahead of the democratic debate, our aim was to sound out what issues are perceived as relevant by ordinary citizens when they evaluate different policies regulating organ donation. What are their main worries and decision criteria?
METHODS: We conducted semi-structured taped interviews with ordinary citizens during which we asked their views on three different systems: the current opt-in system, the opt-out presumed consent system described in a soft and in a hard version, and the mandatory decision system. We analysed transcripts by coding, and grouping code families up to four levels. We achieved saturation with fifteenth interviews.
RESULTS: All our participants happened to be favourably disposed towards organ donation. Participants considered it important to choose a policy that contributes to overcoming the current shortage of organs, but not by any means. They were mostly concerned about individual rights and liberties, and more specifically about the importance of respecting the deceased’s will and to promote lifetime advanced directives on organ donation. The role and rights of relatives were recurrent topics on which participants expressed divergent opinions. Participants often concluded that no legal system is perfect and spent much time discussing elements that were relevant to organ donation in general but not specifically linked to a given legal system.
CONCLUSION: This study provides useful information about citizens’ concerns regarding organ donation. In preparation of public debates on an opt-out policy, our results reveal what issues are likely to tilt the public opinion.

Published: November 2021

Introducción: Es conocido a nivel mundial que las infecciones intrahospitalarias constituyen un problema serio en salud pública, particularmente cuando la mayoría de los casos que ocurren se deben a la implementación de estrategias no recomendadas y malas prácticas generales. Objetivo general: determinar el perfil epidemiológico de las infecciones respiratorias intrahospitalarias en el Hospital General Dr. Verdi Cevallos Balda. Método: Se realizo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo y transversal, el período de estudio incluyo el año 2019. El universo estuvo constituido por los 28 pacientes diagnosticados con infecciones respiratorias intrahospitalarias registrados en el Subsistema de vigilancia activa de las infecciones asociadas a la salud (IAAS). Los datos fueron recolectados de las historias clínicas individuales a través de una ficha de recolección de datos de acuerdo a los factores que conforman la cadena epidemiológica: microorganismo causal, huésped susceptible y tratamiento recibido. Resultados: El staphylococcus aureus fue el microorganismo de mayor repercusión (35,7 %). En las características del huésped susceptible predominaron la edad mayor 60 años (57,1 %) y en las enfermedades subyacentes la diabetes mellitus (42,8 %), el sexo no fue relevante. El tratamiento inicial como final los betalactámicos fueron los de mayor utilización con 68 % y 71,4 % respectivamente, la aplicación de sonda nasogástrica (60,7 %) y la ventilación mecánica (39,2 %) fueron los factores de riesgo más representativos. Se evidencio además que la estancia mayor a 15 días aumento su incidencia. Conclusiones: Se puede concluir que el perfil epidemiológico de las infecciones respiratorias intrahospitalarias está determinado por factores que incidieron directamente sobre los cuales se debe incidir para su prevención.

Published: November 2021

The stressful relationship between children and parents is the pain with which both go through when they find themselves unable to cope as a parent or a child. In order to find out the impact COVID-19 pandemic and suggest some solutions to reduce stress between parents and children, we conducted a survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stressful relationships between parents and children at high school age in Da Nang city. In a survey of randomly-selected high school students, the findings reveal a high rate of tension between them and their parents, particularly up to 38.5% (212/550). In reality, there are many factors affecting the stressful relationship between children and their parents at this age, in which psychological fear about health; social distancing policy; closed schools; students staying at home 24 hours a day and learning online; the disruption in children's daily routine; excessive use of electronic devices, are major causes of stress in the relationship between children and their parents. From this practice, our research team have proposed such solutions as creating outdoor activities and consulting the handbook; designing extra-curricular activities and more importantly, organizing training courses on life values for parents to increase happiness and reduce stress in parent-child relationship.

Authors:   Alage Agricultural Technical Vocational and Educational Training College, Alage, Ethiopia, Habte Dessalew , Tamir Dessalew ,   Bahir Dar University, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal health, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia
Published: November 2021

Erysipelas is an infectious disease seen mainly in growing pigs and characterized clinically by fever, arthritis, skin lesions and sudden death. The disease may be acute, subacute, or chronic. Swine erysipelas is a disease caused by a specific micro organ Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae whic h is a zoonotic ubiquitous gram-positive bacterium that causes erysipelas in swine, mammals, birds and erysipeloid in humans. People in contact with animals, animal products or animal wastes are at greatest risk. The acute form of swine erysipelas may have been confused for other diseases in pigs which are characterized by acute symptoms such as sudden death (for example, African swine fever). It can be diagnosed by its clinical signs, necropsy findings, bacteriology, antimicrobial response, molecular and serological examinations. It is recommended to increase awareness of the disease among animal and human practitioners as treatment is easy and available and vaccination is possible. However, the disease is still unknown to local veterinarians, clinical doctors, meat inspectors, butchers and laboratory personnel. Proper hygiene, regular pork inspection, use of protective wear among people working/ in contact with animals should be promoted. The disease causes high economic loss in pig rearing areas and influences the public health being a severe zoonotic disease. So the objective of this review is to create a better understanding of the disease for proper control and prevention of the disease.

Four commercially produced dahi samples were stored under 0°C, 10 °C and 20 °C temperatures subjected to microbiological examination, pH, titrable acidity and sensory attributes at various temperatures for a period of seven days. The results indicated an increase in microbial activity parameters and titrable acidity with increase in temperature and storage period. pH of dahi samples decreased with an increase in temperature and storage period indicating increase in acidity. The studies for microbiological studies shows increase in TPC along with the increase in days of storage. Similar case was found in Yeast and mould as well as in Coliform count. The TPC at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.69±0.58)106 to (5.0±0.68)106 while as at 20°C temperature it was observed as (1.5±0.35)106 to (4.5±0.12)10. Similarly the Yeast and mould count at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.0±0.92)106 while as at 20 °C temperature it was observed as ( 1.5±0.36)106 .The different samples of dahi were analysed for various sensorial attributes for their acceptance by using 9 point hedonic scale. The scores obtained with respect to colour, flavour, taste and aroma show good results and overall acceptability. Overall acceptability was also found to decrease significantly (p <.05) with increase in days of storage under refrigerated conditions. The results of the storage studies indicated the significant (p < .05) decrease in pH with the days of storage under different temperature conditions.

The move towards a de-carbonised world, driven partly by climate science and partly by the business opportunities it offers, will need the promotion of environmentally friendly alternatives, if an acceptable stabilisation level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is to be achieved. The use of natural resoucses that have not any air pollution or greenhouse gases and provides comfortable coexistence of human, livestock, and plants. The greenhouses require air conditioning process to control their temperature and relative humidity to suit specific plants. To achieve this goal, a novel air humidifier and/or dehumidifier systems using mop fans had been designed and employed in an experimental greenhouse to evaluate its performance under a controlled environment. The mop fan help to reduce the energy consumption of the greenhouse whilst providing a pleasant environment for the plants inside the greenhouse. The system was designed taking into account the meteorological conditions, which affect the environment inside the greenhouse. The performance of the system was monitored over a period of time by measuring the temperature and relative humidity of the greenhouse. Results of the monitoring have shown that the system was able to provide comfortable conditions (temperatures of 16-26oC and relative humidity of 65%) suitable for the plants grown in the experimental greenhouse. This device enable to minimse the temperature variation and, hence, avoided the hazard of any sudden climatic change inside the greenhouse

Cottonseed (Gossypium herbaceum), bitter leaf (Vernonia) amydalina), cashew leaf (Anacardium occidentale), Piper nigrum (black pepper) and scent leaf (Ocimumgratissimum) are major ingredients used in preparation of the local soups namely; ‘koroowu soup’, ‘black soup’, ‘cashew leaf soup’ and ‘ewe luje soup’ consumed in certain parts of Nigeria. The ingredients for the soups were sorted according to the local preparations, separately blended into a paste and were either cooked or uncooked. The pastes were subjected to physicochemical (proximate, pH, total titratable acidity, mineral, phytochemical, antioxidant) and antimicrobial assays. The results showed that the cooked and uncooked pastes from these soups had pH ranged from 4.38-5.89, total titratable acidity (TTA) (0.05%-0.37%), moisture (9.30%-24.75%) and ash content (3.41%-7.17%). However, it was observed that the soup pastes were high in protein (10.39%-12.64%), fibre (13.82%-20.48%) and fat (21.11%-34.47%). The mineral content of the soups revealed that calcium ranged from 1.24ppm8.74 ppm, zinc (1.3 ppm-1.65 ppm), potassium (4.04 ppm-20.94 ppm) and sodium content (14.27 ppm-67.00 ppm). The phytochemical composition of the pastes showed that saponin (4.59mg/g-62.91 mg/g) was the highest, followed by phytate (15.24 mg/g-61.39 mg/g), alkaloid (0mg/g-27.84 mg/g), tannin (2.39 mg/g-6.57 mg/g), oxalate (0.72 mg/g-2.12 mg/g). The soup samples were found to exhibit free radical scavenging property (DPPH) of 30.0%-100%, 2,2’-azino-bis(3-methylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) scavenging ability (70.0-100%), and ferric reducing power (2.73 mg/g-20 mg/g). However, the aqueous extract from the soup pastes could not inhibit the growth of microorganism tested. Further studies should be carried out to identify the bioactive compounds responsible for the antioxidant activities recorded from the soup pastes.

Dietary Fat and Energy Content of Steeped, Germinated and Unprocessed Maize Grains Meant For Complementary Feeding In Nigeria
Authors:   1 Chemistry Department, Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria, Adeyeye Emmanuel Ilesanmi
Published: November 2021

Household technologies such as fermentation, soaking, roasting and malting are traditionally used in many societies with the assumption that they can contribute to improving the safety and quality of complementary foods. To observe the dietary lipid quality, unprocessed, steeped and germinated maize grains were used to evaluate their effect on the enhancement of fatty acids, phospholipids and phytosterols. Maize samples were denoted as B1 (unprocessed) B2 (sprouted) and B3 (steeped) maize. In crude fat, B2 was enhanced by 0.47g/100g (9.23%). Calculated fatty acids had values (g/100g) of:B1(3.66) B3(3.63). Highest levels of these fatty acids were observed as follows: SFA(B2, 27.2%), MUFA(B1,34.7%) and PUFA(B1,47.0%); but B3 was more concentrated in MUFA and PUFA than B2 but less than B1.Both oleic and linoleic fatty acids slightly increased during steeping stage of malting but later declined during germination phase particularly oleic acid. Total energy density (kcal/100g) concentration in the samples with the percentage linoleic acid had these values: B1(32.9, 43.7%), B2(36.0, 37.2%) and B3(32.7, 41.9%). Total phytosterol (mg/100g) values were low: B1(52.3), B2(43.7) and B3(45.1) with sitosterol predominating in all: 33.5 > 28.8 < 29.6 respectively. In phospholipids, values were generally higher than the phytosterols as we have total values (mg/100g) of: B1(74.4); B2(71.3) and B3(62.0) with phosphatidylinositol predominating in all samples: 25.5 > 25.1 > 22.4 respectively. Raw maize sample had highest concentration of phospholipids, phytosterols, MUFA and PUFA. The declines in B2 and B3 in the above parameters suggested that lipids were used for biochemical processes. However, B3 was better concentrated than B2 in phytosterols, MUFA, PUFA, linoleic and oleic acids. This showed germination reduced fat content due to hydrolysis and utilization of fat as an energy source in germination. Observations had depicted the contribution of maize to presence of high level phosphatidylinositol and sitosterol to the infant. It also contributed to information on discrepancies on the effect of fermentation/ germination on cereal lipids in literature. Either steeped or sprouted maize is good as complementary food.
The Teaching of Medical Law as an integral part of Good Pharmacy Practice
Authors:   Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Malta, Gregory Buttigieg George
Published: November 2021

Those aspects of medical law pertaining to medical malpractice are not particularly popular with either teaching staff or under/post-graduate students. The situation changes when an individual is facing Court allegations. This article puts forward the concept, as applied to Pharmacy, that Good Practice demands an integral basic assimilation of the teachings of medical law as a concrete way to enhance positive teaching. Furthermore, both the morality and the legality of practice are becoming more or more an indispensable and often compulsory necessity of knowledge for many specialties of healthcare practice. Although the author is a professor of OBGYN, he also teaches medico-legal studies in a leading university department of pharmacy in Rome. His argument is that this must become the rule and not be the exception.

Patient safety and health worker safety from infectious diseases as well as occupational hazards is of utmost importance in every field of medicine. Bioaerosols and splatters generated by air syringes, ultrasonic scalers and high-speed turbine handpieces during dental treatment pose a potential hazard of infection not only to the patients but, to the dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants as well as other healthcare workers. Severe infectious diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), influenza, measles, tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV AIDS can be transmitted through aerosols. With the emergence of β-coronavirus (COVID-19), questions concerning the protection from such viral transmission in dental hospital setting have arisen due to close contact and its transmission through the exposure of saliva, blood and other body fluids. Guidelines from regulatory organizations such as CDC regarding infection control in healthcare settings and infection prevention practices should be strictly followed.A systematic electronic search with relevant key terms viz. Aerosol Management, Dental Aerosols, Dentistry and COVID-19, Dental Unit Waterlines, Preprocedural Mouth rinsing, High Volume Suction Evacuators (HVE) and CDC Guidelines was executed in PubMed and Medline databases for literature extraction and data has been interpreted by including articles based on predefined inclusion criteria .In this review article, we address the importance of understanding and implementation of dental safety by following various systems for management of dental aerosols

An important motive for preventive paediatric cardiology is the fact that vascular atherosclerotic lesions may develop in early life. A high risk strategy has been advocated to identify children with hypercholesterolaemia both in the United States (US National Cholesterol Education Program for Children and Adolescents, NCEP-Peds) and European countries including Sweden. The major indicators for lipoprotein screening are a family history of premature CAD and/or a parental serum cholesterol concentration 6.20 mmol/l or greater. A major problem is that the parents are usually quite young and that many children live in one parent households. With coronary artery disease, plaque first grows within the walls of the coronary arteries until the blood flow to the heart’s muscle is limited. View an illustration of coronary arteries. This is also called ischemia. It may be chronic, narrowing of the coronary artery over time and limiting of the blood supply to part of the muscle. Or it can be acute, resulting from a sudden rupture of a plaque and formation of a thrombus or blood clot. The traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease are high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, family history, diabetes, smoking, being post-menopausal for women and being older than 45 for men, according to Fisher. Obesity may also be a risk factor. In this work we compared hypolipidemic effects of Niacin with Cardamom. Seventy five hyperlipidemic patients were selected for research work. They were divided in three groups. Group-I was on placebo, group-II was given 1.5 grams Niacin, and group-III was advised to use powdered Cardamom thrice daily for the period of two months. Their lipid profile was measured at start of research and then on day-60. After two months therapy group-II reduced total cholesterol 30.8 mg/dl and LDL cholesterol 12.1 mg/dl and increased HDL cholesterol 5.6 mg/dl. In group-III Cardamom decreased total cholesterol 7.2 mg/dl and LDL cholesterol 8.8 mg/dl. HDL cholesterol in this group increased 4.9 mg/dl. When results were compiled and analyzed biostatistically, these changes were significant. We conclude from the research work that Niacin has more effects on total cholesterol but effects of both drugs on LDL cholesterol reduction was almost same.

Currently, we are more and more aware of head injuries, concussion and the risks and dangers of athletes being exposed to long term risk and injury.Twenty years or so ago, coaches relied on side line assessment to decide as to whether an athlete who“has had his/her bells rung” should return to play. Currently however, there is much more sophisticated sideline assessment (such as Impact) and other laptop instruments. There are many, many reasons why athletes should undergo pre-and post-test assessment as well as sideline assessment. These will be summarily discussed. These issues have also been discussed by:Arginteanu (2019) and others have clearly specified the need to be concerned and observant regardingthe concept of return to play and even return to the classroom. Hernandez, Giordano, Goubran, Parivash, Grant, Zeineh and Camarillo (2019) have discussed sports related concussions and Corman, Adame, Tsa, Ruston, Beaumont, Kamrath, Liu, Posteher, Tremblayand van Raalt, (2019) have published on sports related concussions. Rose, Yeates, Nguyen, McCarthy, Ercole, Pizzimenti, (2019)have written on youth tackle football. Engleman (2013) writing in The Rotarian pp 27-30 suggests that “youth football leagues should require coaches and encourage all parents, to take the “Heads IUP” training course available at www.cdc.gov. The web site of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” There is much concern about CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy- which is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain. This is usually discerned in individuals who have some type of history of repetitive brain trauma or injury. This could include soccer, basketball, baseball, softball (at least many players DO wear helmets) and wrestling (in terms of wrestling, players do wear protective devices for their ears, but still may suffer concussions and head injuries. Shaughnessy and Laman (2012) have provided an excellent review of evidence based intervention and treatment/rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury. This was published in the Research Journal in Organizational Psychology and Educational Studies and is a serious review of the literature in this realm.

Exploring the Comparative Efficacies of Allopathic and Homeopathic Treatments in Reducing Dermal Malassezia Folliculitis
Authors: Borja Chelsea , Aaronson Russell
Published: November 2021

Malassezia folliculitis is a condition in which the naturally occurring yeasts on the skin proliferate within the sebaceous glands and cause inflammation. The lipophilic Malassezia yeasts colonize the sebaceous glands of the skin and havoc on the skin, leaving patients and dermatologists alike, unhappy. The issue is further exacerbated by a lack of research on the comparative efficacies of treatment types alternative to those heavily implemented in the public sphere, such as allopathic and homeopathic medicines. This paper seeks to narrow this knowledge gap and identify potentially more efficacious treatments to eradicate MF than those already recognized by the public domain. Thus, such will be executed through a two-part, quantitative correlational study that investigates response to both conventional and alternative treatment types to determine the most efficacious type of treatment for eradicating or reducing MF. To encompass a personal and professional perspective, a questionnaire was distributed to patients who have suffered or are currently suffering from MF (the Patient Survey) and dermatologists who have treated or are currently treating patients with MF (the Dermatologist Survey). The data produced from both surveys (though more heavily supported by the Patient Survey as there were more responses) ultimately suggested that a combination treatment may be most ideal- a routine that incorporates both allopathic and homeopathic treatments taken both orally and topically.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of transport and fleet rationalization on performance of state corporations Kenya.

Methodology: Descriptive research design was adopted because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. The target population was all the 187 state corporations in Kenya. Questionnaires were administered to collect qualitative and quantitative data from a sample of 127 heads of transport and logistics department among state corporations operating in Kenya, who were selected using simple random sampling, from the four strata. Questionnaires were used to collect data. The questionnaires were tested for validity and reliability using 10% of the total sample respondents. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistical methods such as means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentage. Inferential analyses were used in relation to correlation analysis and regression analysis to test the relationship between the four explanatory variables and the explained variable. Multiple regression models were used to show the relationship between the predicted variable and the predictor variables. The data generated was keyed in and analyzed by use of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 to generate information which was presented using charts, frequencies and percentages.

Results and conclusion: The response rate of the study was 76%. R square value of 0.715 means that 71.5% of the corresponding variation in performance of state corporations in Kenya can be explained or predicted by (logistics information management, consignment management, distributor base management, transit management) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 0.715), p=0.000 <0.05). The findings of the study concluded that logistics information management, consignment management, distributor base management and transit management have a positive relationship with performance of state corporations in Kenya.

Policy recommendation: The study recommended that state corporations should embrace transport and fleet rationalization aspects so as to improve performance and further researches should to be carried out in other firms to find out if the same results can be obtained.

Urban Tree Growth & Longevity: Introduction
Authors: McPherson E. Gregory , Scharenbroch Bryant
Published: November 2021

This special issue of Arboriculture & Urban Forestry contains a series of papers related to urban tree growth and longevity. Research and new information on urban tree growth and longevity is important for improved management of our urban trees and forests, as well as assessing their function and value. The papers in this issue were presented at the Urban Tree Growth & Longevity Conference held on September 12–13, 2011 at The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois, U.S.). This international conference brought together researchers and practitioners to discuss the current state of knowledge concerning urban tree growth and longevity. The conference covered four topic areas: 1) Descriptive studies of tree growth, longevity, and mortality, 2) Roles of tree production and sales on tree growth and longevity, 3) Roles of site design and tree selection on tree growth and longevity, and 4) Roles of tree and site management on tree growth and longevity. The objectives of the conference and these papers are to: develop collaboration among professionals and researchers to help identify important gaps in our knowledge, foster discussions about promising new methodologies, prioritize research and education needs, and outline a course of action for future research and outreach on urban tree growth and longevity. A few additional papers from the conference will be published in a special section of a future issue of this journal.
Attitudes Towards Refugees & Immigrants in Greece: a national-local comparative analysis

Over the past decade, Greece has received a significant number of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers who, due to specific decisions taken at both the EU and the national levels, have been “trapped” in Greece for an indefinite period. Dealing with this situation was, and still is, a hot issue, with state policies remaining focused on reception and control rather than on integration. Moreover, the spatial allocation of refugees in specific places throughout the country raised further debate, as they often provoked reactions (of substantial political costs), given that different localities tend to exhibit different attitudes and views towards refugees and immigrants. Since these perceptions seem to exert a significant effect on the direction of public debate and state policy there have been a number of nationwide surveys that have sought to shed light on them. These studies certainly advance our understanding on how Greeks in totality perceive those issues, but they also suffer from serious limitations regarding the specificities that different localities exhibit. On their grounds, the current works seek to provide a comparative analysis between the results of a nation-wide survey and a locally contacted one, contrasting perceptions between people living in Athens metropolitan area and in three small-medium size cities in central Greece (Trikala, Larisa, and Volos), in order to identify similarities and differences in views between the different spatial scales.
