The influence of diet and nutritional status of milk donors on the nutritional composition of donor human milk (DHM) is unknown. The present study aimed to determine the nutritional profile of DHM and the associations of donors’ dietary intake and nutritional status with micronutrient and lipid composition in DHM. For this purpose, 113 donors completed a food frequency questionnaire, provided a 5-day weighed dietary record, and collected milk for 5 consecutive days. Nutrient determinations in donors’ erythrocytes, plasma, urine, and milk were performed. Multiple linear regressions were conducted for the evaluation of the associations. We highlight the following results: DHM docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was positively associated with donors’ plasma DHA content and donors’ DHA intake (R2 0.45, p < 0.001). For every 1 g/day of DHA intake, the percentage of DHA in DHM increased by 0.38% (% of total fat) and the percentage of total omega-3 in DHM increased by 0.78% (R2 0.29, p < 0.001). DHM saturated fatty acids were positively associated with erythrocyte dimethyl acetals, plasma stearic acid, trans fatty acids intake, and breastfeeding duration, and negatively associated with erythrocyte margaroleic acid (R2 0.34, p < 0.01). DHM cholecalciferol was associated with plasma cholecalciferol levels and dairy intake (R2 0.57, p < 0.01). Other weaker associations were found for free thiamine, free riboflavin, pyridoxal, dehydroascorbic acid, and lipid profile in DHM. In conclusion, the diet and nutritional status of donors influences the fatty acid profile and micronutrient content of DHM.

Published: July 2023

In the modern world, stress has become a pervasive concern that affects individuals' physical and mental well-being. To address this issue, many wearable devices have emerged as potential tools for stress detection and management, by measuring heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and various matrices related to it. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing research on HRV tracking and Biofeedback using smartwatches and finger monitor/sensor pairing with reliable 3rd party mobile apps like Elite HRV, Welltory, and HRV4Training specifically designed for stress detection and management. we apply various algorithms and methodologies employed for HRV analysis and stress detection is discussed, including time-domain, frequency-domain, and non-linear analysis techniques. Prominent smartwatches, such as Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, and Samsung Galaxy Watch, are evaluated based on their HRV measurement accuracy, data quality, sensor technology, and integration with stress management features. We describe the efficacy of smartwatches in providing real-time stress feedback, personalized stress management interventions, and promoting overall well-being. To assist researchers, doctors, and developers use smartwatch technology to address stress and promote holistic well-being, we discuss the data's advantages and limitations, future developments, and the significance of user-centered design and personalized interventions.

Published: July 2023

Background/Aims: Conflicting results have been reported regarding the interaction between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel. We investigated whether concomitant PPI use influenced the risk of recurrence in patients with stroke and myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: This study used two databases for different designs, the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database for a self-controlled case series design, and the national sample cohort of the NHIS database converted to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership-Common Data Model version for a cohort study.
Results: In the PPI co-prescription group, recurrent hospitalization with stroke occurred in 17.6% of the 8,201 patients with history of stroke, and recurrent MI occurred in 17.1% of the 1,216 patients with history of MI during 1 year. According to the self-controlled case series, the overall relative risk (RR) of recurrent stroke was 2.09 [95% confidence interval (CI); 1.83-2.38], and the RR showed an increasing trend with PPI duration. In the cohort study, there was a higher incidence of recurrent stroke in the PPI co-prescription group [Hazard ratio (HR): 1.34, 95% CI: 1.01-1.76, P=0.04]. The overall RR of recurrent MI was 1.47 (95% CI; 1.02-2.11) in the self-controlled case series; however, there was no statistically significant difference in recurrent MI in the cohort study (HR:1.42, 95% CI:0.79-2.49, P=0.23). The impact of individual PPIs on stroke and MI showed different patterns.
Conclusions: PPI co-prescription with clopidogrel was associated with recurrent stroke; however, its association with recurrent MI remains inconclusive. The influence of individual PPIs should be clarified in the future.

Published: July 2023

During embryo development, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) acts as an important site for protein biosynthesis, however, in vitro culture (IVC) can negatively affect ER homeostasis. Thereby, the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an ER stress inhibitor, in the IVC of bovine embryos. Two experiments were carried out: Exp. 1: evaluation of blastocyst rate, hatching kinetics and gene expression of hatched embryos after being treated with different concentrations of TUDCA (50, 200 or 1,000 μM) in the IVC; Exp. 2: evaluation of the re-expansion, hatching, and gene expression of hatched embryos previously treated with 200 µM of TUDCA at IVC and submitted to vitrification. There was no increase in the blastocyst and hatched blastocyst rates treated with TUDCA in the IVC. However, embryos submitted to vitrification after treatment with 200 µM of TUDCA, increased hatching rate post-warming, together with a down-regulation in the expression of ER stress-related genes and the accumulation of lipids. In conclusion, this work showed that the addition of TUDCA during in vitro culture can improve the cryotolerance of the bovine blastocyst through the putative modulation of ER and oxidative stress.

Upper limb paresis is very common after stroke. An important tool to assess motor recovery is to use marker-based motion capture systems to measure the kinematic characteristics of patients’ movements in ecological scenarios. These systems are, however, very expensive and, as such, not readily available for many rehabilitation units. Here, we explored whether the markerless hand motion capabilities of the cost-effective Oculus Quest head-mounted display could be used to provide clinically meaningful measures. 14 stroke patients executed ecologically relevant upper limb tasks in an immersive virtual environment. During task execution, we recorded their hand movements simultaneously by means of the Oculus Quest’s and a marker-based motion capture system. Our results showed that the markerless estimates of the hand position and peak velocity provided by the Oculus Quest were in very close agreement with those provided by a marker-based commercial system with their regression line having a slope close to 1. Furthermore, the Oculus Quest had virtually the same sensitivity as that of a commercial system in distinguishing healthy from pathological kinematic measures. The Oculus Quest was as accurate as a commercial marker-based system in measuring clinically meaningful upper limb kinematic parameters in stroke patients.

Published: July 2023

Approximately 2 TCF (Trillion Cubic Feet) of acid gas are projected to be injected into the Surmeh formation. The recommended injection rate is 180 MMSCFD (Million standard cubic feet per day), based on acid gas content and gas in place of the source of injection. The tight nature of the Surmeh formation limits injectivity, with a maximum achievable rate of 7 MMSCFD for permeability of 1 mD (millidarcy). However, higher porosity (12%) and permeability of 100 mD enable more efficient injection without fracturing the formation. This study provides valuable insights into the feasibility of AGI in saline aquifers, emphasizing reservoir characterization, geomechanics, caprock integrity, and rock properties. The findings contribute to the implementation of environmentally sustainable acid gas disposal at offshore reservoirs.
Epigenetic Factors in Gestational Diabetes From Mother to Child: A Narrative Review
Authors: Araujo Camila , Tieu Vivian , Zeynalvand Garbel
Published: July 2023

In 2020, it is estimated that 7.8% of all live births in the United States were complicated with gestational diabetes, with around 10% of all pregnancies in North America involving gestational diabetes. GDM’s prevalence has been increasing over time, likely due to the population’s rising BMI and increasing maternal age. GDM has been long associated with increased complications in pregnancy, from preeclampsia and macrosomia in the short-term, to long term ramifications including the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and potential effects on the offspring, including obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and increased risk of autism. Additionally, as the field of epigenetics continuously grows, we are able to further elucidate epigenetic mechanisms at play in the development of GDM and how these changes may affect the offspring. In this narrative review, we have compiled recent and relative clinical studies that highlight the role epigenetics may play in the development and perpetuation of GDM, as well as its possible effects on the offspring.

Encapsulation is a valuable strategy to protect and deliver anthocyanins (ACNs), phenolic com-pounds with outstanding antioxidant capacity but limited stability. In this study, coacervation was used to encapsulate an ACNs-rich red cabbage extract (RCE). Two agri-food by-products polymers, whey protein isolate (WPI) and apple high-methoxyl pectin (HMP), were blended at pH 4.0 in a specific ratio to induce the formation of nanoparticles (NPs). The process optimisation yielded a monodispersed population (PDI < 0.200) of negatively charged (-17 mV) NPs with an average diameter of 380 nm. RCE concentration influenced size, charge, and antioxidant capacity in a dose-dependent manner. NPs were also sensitive to pH increase from 4 to 7, showing a progressive breakdown. The encapsulation efficiency was 30%, with a retention of ACNs within the polymeric matrix being influenced by their chemical structure: diacylated and/or C3-triglucoside forms were more efficiently encapsulated than monoacylated C3-diglucosides. In conclusion, we report a promising, simple, and sustainable method to produce monodispersed NPs for ACNs encapsu-lation and delivery. Evidence of differential binding of ACNs to NPs, dependent on specific ac-ylation/glycosylation patterns, indicate that care must be taken in the choice of the appropriate NPs formulation for the encapsulation of phenolic compounds.

Published: July 2023

This study investigates the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a Micasense RedEdge-MX multispectral camera for the estimation of Secchi Depth (SD) in inland water bodies. The research analyzed and compared five sun-glint correction methodologies — Hedley, Goodman, Lyzenga, Joyce, and threshold removed glint to model the SD values derived from UAV multispectral imagery, highlighting the role of reflectance accuracy and algorithmic precision in SD modeling. While Goodman's method showed a higher correlation (0.92) with in situ SD measurements, Hedley's method exhibited the smallest average deviation (0.65 m), suggesting its potential in water resource management, environmental monitoring, and ecological modeling. The study also underscored the Quasi-Analytical Algorithm (QAA) potential in estimating SD due to its flexibility to process data from various sensors without requiring in situ measurements, offering scalability for large-scale water quality surveys. The accuracy of SD measures, calculated using QAA, was related to variability in water constituents of coloured dissolved organic matter and the solar zenith angle. A practical workflow for SD acquisition using UAVs and multispectral data was proposed for monitoring inland water bodies.
Health Diplomacy as a Tool to build resilient health systems in Conflict Settings – A Case of Sudan
Authors: Pattanshetty Sanjay , Bhatt Kiran , Inamdar Aniruddha , Dsouza Viola , Chattu Vijay Kumar , Brand Helmut
Published: July 2023

Attack on health has become a significant concern for non-belligerents of war, including healthcare personnel and facilities as witnessed in the ongoing Sudan conflict. About 1.5 billion people living in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS) have a heightened need for essential health services. Conflicts often lead to the disruption of building blocks of health systems, lack of access to health facilities, failure of essential medical supply chains, the collapse of political, social and economic systems, migration of health care workers, and upsurges in illness. While health indicators often decline in conflict, health can also bring peace and harmony among communities. Investment in health systems and health diplomacy is a neutral starting point for bringing peace and mitigating conflicts. The international commitment towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides the impetus to emphasize the relationship between health and peace with the amalgamation of SDG 3, SDG 16, and SDG 17. The inspection of how health should be used as a ‘tool for peace’ and not as leverage during the war must be reiterated by international institutions.
Mapping the Global Adoption of Mandatory Vaccination against COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review
Authors: Tshitangano Takalani Grace , Damian Jessica Uchechi
Published: July 2023

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused sicknesses ranging from mild to deadly, which disrupted lives and healthcare systems across the globe. Despite the availability of vaccines that are effective in significantly reducing the risks of death and severe dis-ease, misperceptions of COVID-19 vaccine safety, efficacy, risks, and mistrust in insti-tutions responsible for vaccination campaigns have been reported as factors contrib-uting to vaccine hesitancy, making vaccination rate not satisfactory, which resulted in some countries implementing mandatory covid-19 vaccination to increase vaccine up-take. This scoping review aimed at mapping global countries that have adopted the mandatory covid-19 vaccination and the reaction of citizens. PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews was used. Google Scholar was used to identify papers published in English from December 2019 to February 2022, irrespective of their methodology. One hundred forty studies were identified. After screening for duplication, access, and rel-evance, 24 were eligible for review. About eleven countries implemented mandatory vaccination, mostly among health workers. Citizens’ reactions towards the policy var-ied, with some in support of the policy but with a preference for the healthcare workers, and some in support but with the condition that it will only apply to travel, schools, and shopping areas, while others rejected the policy. Studies that may be relevant but were excluded due to eligibility criteria may be a limiting factor to this study. Several ethical considerations should be explicitly addressed when evaluating whether man-datory COVID-19 vaccination is an ethically justifiable policy option as recommended by the WHO policy brief.
Modern Aspects on the Complex Interactions between Biodiversity and the Main Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Published: July 2023

The high incidence of psychopathologies recorded in today's human society, correlated with the high percentages of biodiversity loss, point to the need for an interdisciplinary approach of the scientific fields under study – Neurosciences and Biodiversity Conservation. Thus, our approach here pre-sents, in a synergistic manner, the significant correlation between mental health and the increased values of biodiversity in the ecosystems located in the immediate vicinity, especially those located in the middle of cities. Our approach aims to emphasize the importance of biodiversity conservation in the context of preserving mental health and general well-being. There are a series of recent ex-perimental demonstrations that outline the influence of natural elements on the human psyche and implicitly the effects of nature in the prevention and reduction of stress, anxiety and depression. And beyond the cognitive barriers of humanity in relating to the surrounding biodiversity must lie the desire to know the values of biodiversity and the absolute importance of its conservation. The sustainable relationship between man and living nature, seen as a complex of biodiversity, is dealt with by a branch of science called Human Ecology. Therefore, this study emphasizes the crucial need to know and respect the connection between man and nature, based, since time immemorial, on biophilia. And with the regression of ignorance and the correlated approach of several scientific fields, some at the intersection of humanities and natural sciences, one can observe the progress of preserving the dynamic balance within the ecosystems and implicitly the preservation of mental health and human well-being.

QUANTUM RECITATION THERAPY IN SYAIR NASIHAT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO STRENGTHEN MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL EFFORTS DURING AND POST- PANDEMIC COVID 19
Authors: Wirajaya Asep Yudha , Sudardi Bani , Istadiyantha Istadiyantha , Warto Warto
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT

Syair Nasihat (SN) is a classic Malay literary work written using Arabic letters/characters and in Malay. This SN contains various kinds of advice for humans to be able to achieve the happiness of life, both in this world and in the hereafter. This teaching is still considered very relevant to human life in the postmodern era, which is even further away from religious values. As a result, it is difficult for humans to find true happiness in every episode of their life. Therefore, a study on SN needs to be done so that postmodern humans can at least get inspiration to be able to find true happiness in the process of life. The research method used is the philological method. This method is intended so that researchers can present good and correct text edits. Furthermore, the edits are studied with content analysis, particularly those related to the quantum concepts of dhikr. The concept of quantum dhikr therapy is contained in the SN text, namely (1) oral dhikr; (2) heart remembrance; (3) mind remembrance; and
(4) deeds dhikr. This quantum dhikr study is expected to provide an overview and simultaneously convince readers/connoisseurs of SN about the potential of dhikr that can be used as an alternative to strengthen mentally and spiritually, both during the Covid 19 pandemic and post-pandemic.

Keywords: advice verse, therapy, quantum dhikr, strengthen mentally, and spiritually
TEXT, PALACE, TOURISM: Exploring Literary Tourism in a Classical Javanese Literature, Wedhatama by King Mangkunegara IV, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Ismawati Esti , Warsito Warsito , Anindita Kun Andyan
Published: July 2023

Wedhatama, which was published in 1680 at the Surakarta Palace, is still popular today because it contains the concept of tri ugering ngaurip (three philosophies of life), namely arta, (about financial independence), wirya (about honor), and tri winasis (about how to gain intelligence). This study aims to critically examine how Wedhatama, a classic Javanese literary book by King Mangkunegara IV of the Surakarta Palace, contains philosophical values of life and how Javanese culture in the palace can become an interesting literary tourism object. The problem that will be answered in this paper is, "Are Wedhatama and the Mangkunegaran Palace of Surakarta worthy of being literary tourism destinations in Indonesia and even the world? This study will answer how the response of "Pura Mangkunegaran" regarding this matter. In-depth interviews with palace relatives, namely RM Darajadi Gandadipraja about Wedhatama and interviews with tourists who came to ensure that Wedhatama, the Mangkunegaran Palace, and their culture are very interesting to visit. It can be concluded that Wedhatama, the Mangkunegaran Surakarta palace, the tomb of King Mangkunegara IV, and their relics, are worthy of being literary tourism destinations, both for the Indonesian public and the world.
DEHUMANIZATION OF MULTICHARACTER FIGURES IN LUDRUK TRADITIONAL ART AS SYMBOLS OF IMPERIALIST MENTAL AGITATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE PLAY SARIP TAMBAK OSO
Authors: Zulianto Sugit , Juairiah Juairiah
Published: July 2023

In the story of the ludruk play which is legendary in Java-Indonesia, Sarip Tambak Oso is chased and captured by the invaders. He is claimed to be a criminal who is very humiliated. However, the Javanese people immortalized him as a public figure with character because of his concern and courage in defending the rights of the poor who were wronged by the colonial government. This research has a qualitative approach with a case study type. The main problem is, how is the multi-character of Sarip Tambak Oso's play dehumanized by the colonialists? For this reason, the data source is in the form of documents, both printed (published manuscripts) and electronic (ludruk performances with the play Sarip Tambak Oso). The research data is in the form of language (expressions, words, phrases, sentences) in the story. Next, verbal data is described qualitatively. The results showed that Sarip Tambak Oso had the characters of (1) caring, (2) devotion, (3) nationalism, and (4) religious, and (5) fair. In conclusion, the five characters are necessary when dealing with colonial era invaders. In fact, now, its fluctuating actualization needs to be considered as thoroughly as possible in the millennial era. This is necessary because the dehumanization of the multi-characteristics of public figures is not a natural characteristic of the Javanese nation in the world, except when fighting for national independence, as exemplified by Sarip Tambak Oso in East Java, Indonesia.

Code-switching and code-mixing among users of social media
Authors: Nordin Nur Rasyidah Mohd
Published: July 2023

Abstract

This conceptual paper aims to examine the use and application of code-switching and code-mixing among users of social media based on recent studies in Sociolinguistics. Communication in general has evolved tremendously in the 21st century, as it has made interactions with people all around the world much faster and easier. Social media is an important platform that allows these interactions to take place. Having multiple users from different countries influences the utilization of the first language (mother tongue), code-switching, code-mixing and borrowed words. Social media users have been shown to extensively use code-mixing and code-switching, particularly among speakers in the bilingual or multilingual society. Thus, this conceptual paper will attempt to deliberate on the use of code-switching as well as code-mixing among users of social media; namely people’s preference of social media, types and use of code-switching and code-mixing on social media, and lastly factors which influence the use of code-switching and code-mixing on social media.

The fading of Javanese culture and the literacy crisis are complex problems that have a further impact on the world of education on elementary school students in Javanese script literacy in a multicultural country like Indonesia. Factors that influence the lack of Javanese script literacy are learning media that are less attractive and limited. In realizing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), one of the efforts to preserve and introduce Javanese script to support Indonesia gold 2045 can use gaming learning media. Empowerment of the Javanese script can be implemented through the role of education staff in learning based on the uno stacko game and the penta helix system. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of learning media based on the uno stacko game and the penta helix approach at SD N 2 Sidowarno and to determine student responses to the feasibility of learning media based on the uno stacko game and the penta helix approach. This research uses the research and development (R&D) method with the Borg & Gall model. Data were obtained from teacher questionnaires and student responses, validation questionnaires from subject matter experts, media experts, and also interviews. The results of the expert assessment were 87.45% for subject matter experts, 85.84% for media experts, and 87.77% for educators, while the student response was 82.43%. From the research results it is known that learning Javanese script using the Uno Stacko game can increase student learning motivation and form effective learning. In addition, based on assessments from material experts, media experts, and teachers as well as responses from students, it can be concluded that the Javanese script learning media based on the uno stacko game and the penta helix approach are suitable for use as learning media. In addition, based on the research results, it can be seen that the existence of a penta helix collaboration system can be an effective effort in supporting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

Who’s Right? Imaging of Fractures Often Delivers Conflicting Measures
Authors: Rassenfoss Stephen
Published: July 2023

There are two ways to measure how much entry holes grow due to erosion during fracturing, and the results they offer are often different.

This matters because these competing technologies, one using cameras and the other ultrasound, have become an essential tool for measuring fracturing performance.

When oil companies run side-by-side tests, there are enough differences in the hole size measurements to raise the question: Which one is right?

While the averages and trend lines for the data sets look close enough for engineers used to noisy downhole data, differences in the measures of specific entry holes can be disconcerting for those trying to evaluate performance at the cluster level.

“There is quite a bit of disagreement in them, with gaps of up to 100%, and many gaps of 25% or more,” said Tobben Tymons, visual analytics director for EV, the company that pioneered visual imaging. He made that observation when he described the result of a two-well test where EV partnered with Archer to measure entry holes using both camera and ultrasound methods (SPE 212322).

The paper presented at the 2023 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition (HFTC) included Fig. 1 comparing the measurements using photos and ultrasound as pairs of colored dots within a stage in a side-by-side well test. The red dots were based on a camera image of the entry holes in the casing; the yellow were based on ultrasound.

They show that these tools can deliver significantly different measures for some of the holes. Fig. 1 shows multiple instances where only one method can provide a usable measure.

The paper offered explanations for the differences with something engineers often ask for and rarely get—a study offering a detailed look at the pros and cons of competing diagnostic methods.

The conflicting numbers shown in the EV-Archer paper were in line with the results of a previous side-by-side test by Chevron which showed similar measurement differences (SPE 209122).

At the conference, Hess and ConocoPhillips also offered papers on measurement differences. It’s a hot topic because bad data could lead an operator to invest a lot of money and time on changes that don’t deliver the production expected based on the entry-hole measures in test wells.

There is agreement that the accuracy of these data matters. But on the question of which method is delivering accurate numbers, the advice varied widely.

The paper by Hess offered this advice: “The technology of perforation imaging has come a long way and drastically improved in recent years; however, there are differences in the detail of the images. The trends are very similar between the compared technologies. The learning is to use one technology and consistently benchmark against it.”

When asked about picking one method and sticking with it, Tymons said he “strongly disagrees with the approach.” Using one method avoids seeing the inconsistencies between the two technologies, but no matter which method is used, “there are instances where it is simply wrong,” he said.
