Published: November 2019

Nanotechnology is the science, engineering and technology conducted at the scale that ranges between 1-100 nanometers. For the bio-application, evolution of nanotechnology is creating the concern of scientists towards the synthesis of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles have unique characteristics as compare to bulk materials. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a matchless semiconductor and it has been under investigation due to its wide range of applications in various areas like biomedical, electronics, material science and optics. In the present work synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out by using simple chemical approach, Sol-gel method for being effective and inexpensive, by employing zinc acetate dehydrate Zn (CH3CO2)2.2H2O as a precursor and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) starch as a constant agent. The structural properties of resultant zinc oxide nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The XRD data confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO powder confirmed by JCPDS 36-1451 data. Particles size was calculated by Scherrer formula and calculated size was 30.14 nm. These nanoparticles were investigated for inhibition zone of bacterial strain Escherichia coli, a gram-negative microbe, at various concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were very proficient for inhibition of growth of bacterial strain E. coli. The mechanism of ZnO NPs for antibacterial activity is release of reactive oxygen species which not only hydrolyze cell wall but cell membrane and cellular components as well providing a potential bactericidal effect.

Authors: Lima Miranda Camila , Maria Nigro de Souza Placco Vera , De Brito Rezende Daisy
Published: November 2019

Este estudo investigou as representações sociais sobre a docência e sua influência na constituição da identidade profissional de licenciandos em Química. Os dados foram interpretados por meio do diálogo entre duas teorias: a das representações sociais, na perspectiva de Serge Moscovici, e a da identidade profissional de Claude Dubar. Ser professor para esse grupo social relaciona-se à realização pessoal, intrinsecamente ligada à motivação, à autonomia, à inovação, ao afeto para com os estudantes e à necessidade de escutá-los. Os relatos que compuseram os dados deste estudo nos auxiliam a compreender o papel do olhar do outro na constituição identitária. É por meio de tal olhar que o sujeito pode também se reconhecer. Esperamos que o presente estudo possa contribuir para a ressignificação da formação docente, considerando-a enquanto construção diacrônica, permeada pelo contexto social, pela atribuição dos outros e pelas representações sociais dos atores envolvidos no processo.

Investigation of the Adulteration of Essential Oils by GC-MS
Authors: Dubnicka Mara , Cromwell Benjamin , Levine Mindy
Published: November 2019

Background:

A lack of regulation about the chemical composition of essential oils and the
growing popularity of these oils among consumers presents an urgent need for the accurate characterization
of various oil types from a variety of manufacturers. The aim of this paper was to characterize
the composition of essential oils bought from a popular retail location, with the goal of understanding
the chemical composition and presence of adulterants with potential toxicity.

Methods:

Reported herein is an investigation into the components of a variety of essential oils using
gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The investigation initially focused on two popular
oils, tea tree and lavender oil, and then moved to investigate four additional essential oils from the
same brand (sandalwood, rose, eucalyptus, and lemongrass).

Results:

Results of this analysis indicated that all six store brand essential oils contained Carbitol (in
concentrations from 23% to 35%), and four of the six oils had diethyl phthalate (in concentrations
ranging from 0.33% to 16%). These toxicants are particularly concerning because they are known inhalation
hazards, and the intended usage of these oils is for aromatherapy (i.e. inhalation).

Conclusion:

These results highlight a potentially significant and under-reported health concern from
inhalation of toxic contaminants in the store brand oils, and showcase the need for more regulation
and transparency about the composition of these commercial products.

Authors: Kruse Clemens Scott , Lee Kimberly , Watson Jeress B , Lobo Lorraine G , Stoppelmoor Ashton G , Oyibo Sabrina E
Published: November 2019

Background

More than 18 million Americans are currently suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD): a compulsive behavior of alcohol use as a result of a chronic, relapsing brain disease. With alcohol-related injuries being one of the leading causes of preventable deaths, there is a dire need to find ways to assist those suffering from alcohol dependence. There still exists a gap in knowledge as to the potential of telemedicine in improving health outcomes for those patients suffering from AUD.

Objective

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the measures of effectiveness, efficiency, and quality that result from the utilization of telemedicine in the management of alcohol abuse, addiction, and rehabilitation.

Methods

This review was conducted utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The articles used in this analysis were gathered using keywords inclusive of both telemedicine and alcohol abuse, which were then searched in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane, and MEDLINE (PubMed) databases. A total of 22 articles were chosen for analysis.

Results

The results indicated that telemedicine reduced alcohol consumption. Other common outcomes included reduced depression (4/35, 11%), increased patient satisfaction (3/35, 9%), increase in accessibility (3/35, 9%), increased quality of life (2/35, 6%), and decreased cost (1/35, 3%). Interventions included mobile health (11/22, 50%), electronic health (6/22, 27%), telephone (3/33, 14%), and 2-way video (2/22, 9%). Studies were conducted in 3 regions: the United States (13/22, 59%), the European Union (8/22, 36%), and Australia (1/22, 5%).

Conclusions

Telemedicine was found to be an effective tool in reducing alcohol consumption and increasing patients’ accessibility to health care services or health providers. The group of articles for analysis suggested that telemedicine may be effective in reducing health care costs and improving the patient’s quality of life. Although telemedicine shows promise as an effective way to manage alcohol-related disorders, it should be further investigated before implementation.

Published: November 2019

Background

Foods provided in childcare services are not consistent with dietary guideline recommendations. Web-based systems offer unique opportunities to support the implementation of such guidelines.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Web-based menu planning intervention in increasing the mean number of food groups on childcare service menus that comply with dietary guidelines. Secondary aims were to assess the impact of the intervention on the proportion of service menus compliant with recommendations for (1) all food groups; (2) individual food groups; and (3) mean servings of individual food groups. Childcare service use and acceptability of the Web-based program were also assessed.

Methods

A single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was undertaken with 54 childcare services in New South Wales, Australia. Services were randomized to a 12-month intervention or usual care control. Intervention services received access to a Web-based menu planning program linked to their usual childcare management software system. Childcare service compliance with dietary guidelines and servings of food groups were assessed at baseline, 3-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up.

Results

No significant differences in the mean number of food groups compliant with dietary guidelines and the proportion of service menus compliant with recommendations for all food groups, or for individual food groups, were found at 3- or 12-month follow-up between the intervention and control groups. Intervention service menus provided significantly more servings of fruit (P<.001), vegetables (P=.03), dairy (P=.03), and meat (P=.003), and reduced their servings of discretionary foods (P=.02) compared with control group at 3 months. This difference was maintained for fruit (P=.03) and discretionary foods (P=.003) at 12 months. Intervention childcare service staff logged into the Web-based program an average of 40.4 (SD 31.8) times and rated the program as highly acceptable.

Conclusions

Although improvements in childcare service overall menu and individual food group compliance with dietary guidelines were not statistically significant, findings indicate that a Web-based menu planning intervention can improve the servings for some healthy food groups and reduce the provision of discretionary foods. Future research exploring the effectiveness of differing strategies in improving the implementation of dietary guidelines in childcare services is warranted.

Published: November 2019

Background

The phecode system was built upon the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) for phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) using the electronic health record (EHR).

Objective

The goal of this paper was to develop and perform an initial evaluation of maps from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes to phecodes.

Methods

We mapped ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM codes to phecodes using a number of methods and resources, such as concept relationships and explicit mappings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Unified Medical Language System, Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics, Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms, and the National Library of Medicine. We assessed the coverage of the maps in two databases: Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) using ICD-10-CM and the UK Biobank (UKBB) using ICD-10. We assessed the fidelity of the ICD-10-CM map in comparison to the gold-standard ICD-9-CM phecode map by investigating phenotype reproducibility and conducting a PheWAS.

Results

We mapped >75% of ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM codes to phecodes. Of the unique codes observed in the UKBB (ICD-10) and VUMC (ICD-10-CM) cohorts, >90% were mapped to phecodes. We observed 70-75% reproducibility for chronic diseases and <10% for an acute disease for phenotypes sourced from the ICD-10-CM phecode map. Using the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM maps, we conducted a PheWAS with a Lipoprotein(a) genetic variant, rs10455872, which replicated two known genotype-phenotype associations with similar effect sizes: coronary atherosclerosis (ICD-9-CM: P<.001; odds ratio (OR) 1.60 [95% CI 1.43-1.80] vs ICD-10-CM: P<.001; OR 1.60 [95% CI 1.43-1.80]) and chronic ischemic heart disease (ICD-9-CM: P<.001; OR 1.56 [95% CI 1.35-1.79] vs ICD-10-CM: P<.001; OR 1.47 [95% CI 1.22-1.77]).

Conclusions

This study introduces the beta versions of ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM to phecode maps that enable researchers to leverage accumulated ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM data for PheWAS in the EHR.
Digitalization strategy for medical service transformation: A case study on orthodontic service (Preprint)
Authors: Tsai I-Ching , Wei Hui-Ching , Chen Peng-Ting
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Digital technologies have been increasingly used in medical practice. The digital transformation of healthcare affects existing medical procedures and management, including data storage, diagnostic assistance, patient communication, and organizational marketing. However, how medical providers can formulate digital transformation with limited resources and invest in digital technology to achieve the best benefits remains to be clarified.

OBJECTIVE

The purposes of this study are as follows: 1) to clarify the stage of digital transformation in medical behavior with the orthodontic treatment process and 2) to understand the needs and desires of various stakeholders for digital transformation to assist medical providers in formulating digital transformation strategies.

METHODS

The author interviewed stakeholders and experts in the field of orthodontics, established an orthodontic digital transformation questionnaire based on literature review and content analysis, and obtained 88 valid questionnaires for reliability and validity analyses. Then, the Desire-Requirement Analysis model was used to evaluate the key views of stakeholders in the digital transformation.

RESULTS

Orthodontic procedures are classified into clinical evaluation, therapeutic communication, orthodontic treatment, and patient tracking. According to the results of the Desire-Requirement analysis model, therapeutic communication is classified as the focus strategy and is the most important stage in digital transformation. Clinical evaluation is a transformation strategy and requires policy support and governance or business transformation to adopt digital technology. Orthodontic treatment is a promotion strategy that requires enhanced marketing and the persuasion of stakeholders, taking advantage of digitalization. Finally, patient tracking is a deduction strategy, is less valued by stakeholders in digitalization transformation, and can be postponed for the conduct of digitalization until sufficient support and resource input are available.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study not only clarify stakeholders’ views on digital technology in the field of orthodontics but also help orthodontists formulate digital transformation strategies to improve patient trust and satisfaction and reduce medical disputes with the best digital transformation configuration. Although based on an orthodontic treatment paradigm, this study proposes the key indicators of digital transformation that can be applied to other areas of health care in the future. In future studies, we hope to develop strategies for digital transformation for each stakeholder on the basis of these results to promote the development of digital medicine.

Públicos de la ciencia y desigualdad social en América Latina
Authors: Polino Carmelo
Published: November 2019

La desigualdad social también se manifiesta en el campo cultural de la ciencia. El capital educativo, la posición socioeconómica o el país de residencia son determinantes críticos a la hora de entender que los públicos de la ciencia tienen oportunidades desiguales de acceso a información o participación cultural. A partir de las encuestas de percepción pública regionales, mostramos que los grupos sociales mejor posicionados tienen más probabilidades de beneficiarse de la cultura científica y que, por el contrario, grandes grupos de la población permanecen relegados. La desigualdad desvirtúa sus derechos culturales y corroe los cimientos de la democracia participativa.

Introduction. The need to ensure trouble-free operation of inhabited sealed objects of the Navy requires continuous improvement of technologies to increase their fire safety. Such technologies include the creation of hypoxic gas media at facilities that reduce the risk of fires and ensure the possibility of personnel staying in them. The purpose of the work is a comparative assessment of changes in the maximum human working capacity during continuous stay in various normobaric hypoxic environments, promising to increase the fire safety of sealed inhabited objects of the Navy. Materials and methods. In the 1st series of studies, 100 daily sealing of 6 male volunteers (28–53 years old) in controlled hypoxic environments was carried out: [O2] in the premises of permanent residence — 18–19%, periodic (4 hours per day) stay — 16–17%/ In the 2nd series of studies, 6 male volunteers (age 25–51 years) were continuously in argon-containing gas media with [O2]=13,5–14,5%, [Ar]=30–35% for 60 days. During the studies, the dynamics of the mental (operator) and maximum physical working capacity of the subjects were evaluated. Results. Stay in hypoxic environments was accompanied by a decrease in the working capacity of volunteers. The relative degree of negative changes in mental performance in group 1 did not exceed –7%, in group 2 — –10% of the initial level; the maximum decrease in physical performance in group 1 was on average about — –11%, in group 2 — –17% compared with the initial state, which does not go beyond the permissible limits. Conclusion. The introduction of tested gaseous media at naval facilities is promising. The choice of the composition of the gas mixture should be determined by the degree of risk of fires at a particular facility, the technical capabilities of creating and maintaining a hypoxic environment of optimal composition, the number and state of health of the crew.

Batas wilayah di darat adalah pembatas Wilayah administrasi Pemerintahan antar Daerah yang merupakan rangkaian titik-titik koordinat yang berada pada permukaan bumi dapat berupa tanda-tanda alam seperti punggung bukit  (watershed), median sungai dan/atau unsur buatan di lapangan yang dituangkan dalam bentuk peta.Dalam Permendagri No. 76 tahun 2012, disebutkan bahwa penegasan batas daerah adalah kegiatan penentuan titik-titik koordinat batas daerah yang dapat dilakukan dengan metode kartometrik dan atau survei di lapangan, yang dituangkan dalam bentuk peta batas dengan daftar titik-titik koordinat batas daerah. Metode kartometrik ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi kegiatan survei lapangan yang biasanya memerlukan dana yang besar dan waktu yang relatif lama pada kondisi medan yang sulit dijangkau.Penegasan batas daerah secara khusus diatur dalam Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 2006 dan telah direvisi dengan Peraturan Dalam Negeri Republik Indonesia Nomor 76 Tahun 2012 Tentang Pedoman Penegasan Batas Daerah. Pengertian batas daerah dibagi menjadi dua yaitu, batas daerah  di darat dan batas daerah di laut. Batas daerah di darat adalah pembatas wilayah administrasi pemerintahan antar daerah yang merupakan rangkaian titik-titik koordinat yang berada pada permukaan bumi dapat berupa tanda-tanda alam seperti igir (batas alam) atau punggung gunung atau pegunungan (watershed), median sungai dan/atau unsur buatan di lapangan yang dituangkan dalam bentuk peta. Batas daerah di laut adalah pembatas kewenangan pengelolaan sumber daya di laut untuk Daerah yang bersangkutan yang merupakan rangkaian titik-titik koordinat diukur dari garis pantai. Batas Daerah secara pasti di lapangan adalah kumpulan titik-titik koordinat geografis yang merujuk kepada sistem georeferensi nasional dan membentuk garis batas wilayah administrasi Pemerintahan antar Daerah

Abstrak Islam mensyariatkan penyaluran naluri biologis melalui jalan perkawinan yang sah. Selain lembaga perkawinan, maka bentuk penyaluran naluri biologis yang tidak sah tidak dibenarkan dalam Islam. Salah satunya yaitu hubungan homoseksual. Homoseksual merupakan hubungan seks sejenis, baik dilakukan oleh pria maupun wanita. Secara hukum, hubungan homoseksual ini diharamkan dalam Islam, dan pelakunya dihukum dengan berat hingga dibinasakan (hukuman mati) sebagaimana pendapat mayoritas ulama berdasarkan ketentuan umum Alquran dan hadis. Namun, hukuman sebagaimana yang ditetapkan dalam fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia Nomor 57 Tahun 2014 Tentang Lesbian, Gay, Sodomi, dan Pencabulan berbeda dengan pendapat mayoritas ulama tersebut. Untuk itu, permasalahan penelitian yang diangkat adalah apa yang melatar belakangi MUI mengeluarkan fatwa tersebut, dan bagaimana dalil dan metode istinbāṭ hukum yang digunakan MUI dalam menetapkan hukum pelaku homoseksual. Adapun jenis penelitian ini yaitu penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analisis, yaitu menggambarkan permasalahan homoseksual, serta menganalisis ketentuan hukum yang dimuat dalam fatwa MUI. Hasil penelitian dan analisa penulis menunjukkan bahwa latar belakang dikeluarkannya fatwa oleh Majelis Ulama Indonesia Nomor 57 Tahun 2014 Tentang Lesbian, Gay, Sodomi, dan Pencabulan karena homoseksual di Indonesia telah banyak dilakukan oleh masyarakat. Bahkan ada usaha dari sejumlah tokoh dan lembaga untuk memperjuangkan eksistensi homoseksual. Terhadap fenomena homoseksual yang merebak, timbul keresahan dan muncul pertanyaan dari masyarakat mengenai status hukum berikut hukuman bagi  pelakunya. Adapun dalil dan metode istinbāṭ hukum yang digunakan MUI dalam menetapkan hukum pelaku homoseksual yaitu merujuk kepada beberapa ketentuan yang terdapat dalam Alquran dan hadis terkait adanya larangan melakukan hubungan seks sejenis. Di samping itu, Majelis Ulama Indonesia juga merujuk kepada pendapat-pendapat ulama. Secara spesifik, MUI setidaknya merujuk pendapat 9 (sembilan) ulama, diantaranya yaitu pendapat Imam al-Syirazi, Muhammad ibn ‘Umar al-Razi, al-Bujairimi, Imam al-Nawawi, Imam Zakaria, Imam ‘Abdur Rauf al-Munawi, Ibnu Qayyim al-Jauziyyah, Ibnu Qudamah, dan pendapat al-Buhuuti. Intinya, MUI menyatakan bahwa homoseksual adalah perbuatan yang haram dan pelakunya dikenakan hukuman ta’zīr.   Kata Kunci: Hukuman-Ta’zīr-Homoseksual
