Maternal Health-Care in India: The Case of Tetanus Toxoid Vaccination
Authors: Khan Rana Ejaz Ali , Raza Muhammad Ali
Published: September 2021

Prenatal-care is one of the important elements of maternal health-care. In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the socioeconomic determinants of Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccination as a component of prenatal-care by the women in the age group of 15-49 years. Micro-data having 25847 observations from Indian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) has been used. To estimate the probability of TT vaccination binary logistic regression has been utilized. The explanatory variables categorized into socio-demographic characteristics of the woman, household characteristics, health-related characteristics, community characteristics and regional characteristics have been included in the analysis. The results explained that probability to have TT vaccination increases by woman’ education, woman’ age at marriage, husband’s age, husband’s education, husband’s living within household, husband’s presence at prenatal visit and household wealth. The woman’s living in small city, town and country side as well as final say on woman’s health-care by woman and husband collectively, and husband alone decrease the probability of TT vaccination. The study proposed targeted approach to enhance the TT vaccination in Indian women. The marginalized households should be targeted through cash transfer programs. Furthermore, the small cities and country sides should also be focused. The awareness and education of woman along with husband’s participation in maternal health-care cannot be ignored in policy making.

An Application of Can Slim Investing in the Dow Jones Benchmark
Authors: Lutey Matt , Hassan Mohammad Kabir , Rayome Dave
Published: September 2021

This paper provides an alternative view of the popular CAN SLIM investing strategy by modifying and weighting the criterion. The modified criterion is used to build a portfolio in each of three overlapping time frames. The results of the study are compared to a Dow Jones Industrial Average benchmark over the same time frame and is evaluated on a risk adjusted basis. The study finds that the system outperforms the market on a risk adjusted basis in all three time frames and holds a high R Squared for each timeframe. The null hypothesis for the majority of this paper is to test whether the mean returns of the strategy are significantly different from zero on a monthly basis. This is tested over three overlapping timeframes of five years, ten years and sixteen years respectively. A further hypothesis is tested for the 2008-2009 timeframe and is whether the mean excess returns of the strategy are significantly different from zero when compared to the Dow Jones benchmark. This paper finds that the null hypothesis is rejected over all time frames with strong evidence. An exception is the 16-year time frame where the null is rejected with weak evidence.

Published: September 2021

Background: Successful diabetes treatment requires commitment and understanding of disease management by the patients.

Objective: This trial aimed to evaluate the programme effectiveness of home medication review by community pharmacists (HMR-CP) in optimising diabetes care and reducing medication wastage.

Methods: A randomised controlled trial was conducted on 166 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who were randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups. The intervention group received HMR-CP at 0-month, 3-month, and 6-month. The primary outcome was haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) while clinical outcomes, anthropometric data, and humanistic outcomes were the secondary outcomes. For the intervention group, drug-related problems (DRP) were classified according to the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Foundation (PCNE). Medication adherence was determined based on the Pill Counting Adherence Ratio (PCAR). The cost of medication wastage was calculated based on the total missed dose by the T2DM patients multiplied by the cost of medication. General linear model and generalised estimating equations were used to compare data across the different time-points within and between the groups, respectively.

Results: No significant difference was observed in the demographic and anthropometric data at baseline between the two groups except for fasting blood glucose (FBG). There was a significant reduction in the HbA1c (-0.91%) and FBG (-1.62mmol/L) over the study period (p<0.05). A similar observation was noted in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and total cholesterol (TC) but not in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and anthropometric parameters. Both utility value and Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Test (MDKT) scores increased significantly over time. As for the intervention group, significant changes in PCAR (p<0.001) and the number of DRP (p<0.001) were noted.

Conclusions: HMR-CP significantly improved the glycaemic control, QoL, medication adherence, and knowledge of T2DM patients as well as reduced the number of DRP and cost of medication wastage. However, the impact of HMR-CP on certain clinical and anthropometric parameters remains inconclusive and further investigation is warranted.

Authors: Bhat S.V. Vasudhar , Shynu M. , Divya P.D. , Desai Akshatha G. , Akhil G.H.
Published: September 2021

Background: Healthy transition from non-lactating pregnant state to non-pregnant lactating state is an important in the profitability of dairying. Though feeding and managemental practices play an important role in the adaptation to transition, animals kept on similar feeding and management exhibit differences in adaptation indicating an underlying genetic cause. In the present study, the sequence of gene SNAI2, which is considered to have an effect on metabolic adaptability has been compared among animals with apparently varying adaptability, as indicated by their β-hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA) concentration. Methods: During the period from August 2018 to May 2019, blood was collected and serum was separated from 30 pregnant cross bred (belonging to Sunandini genetic group of cross bred cattle of Kerala) dairy cows at fortnightly intervals from four weeks before the predicted day of parturition until four weeks after parturition. Concentration of BHBA was determined. Based on BHBA concentration the animals were sorted into two groups (High BHBA and low BHBA) using cluster analysis. Blood was collected, DNA extracted and SNAI2 gene amplified using custom synthesised primers. Amplicons from representative animals of each group were sequenced. The sequences obtained were aligned and compared using clustal-ω. Result: The comparison of the sequence of SNAI2 gene amongst the animals having high BHBA and those with low BHBA revealed two variations between the groups, one at promoter region, 61 bp upstream to the gene and other was at exonic region at 1560 bp. In silico structural analysis revealed difference in protein structure. The changes observed in the gene SNAI2 between the sets of animals grouped based on BHBA has to be studied on a larger population to ascertain the suitability of them being used as markers of genetic selection for metabolic adaptability, which in turn can increase the profitability of dairying.
Comparison of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing in the treatment of distal extraarticular tibial fractures
Authors: KUMBARACI Mert , SAVRAN Ahmet
Published: September 2021

Aim: Our study’s aim was to investigate the effectiveness of minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) in extraarticular distal tibia fractures and to compare the outcomes of these two treatment methods.

Materials and Methods: Between January 2008 and January 2015, 59 patients had extraarticular distal tibia fracture and treated with MIPO or IMN were evaluated retrospectively. Postoperative x-rays were evaluated for fracture consolidation and angular deformities. For the functional evaluations of the patients Olerud-Molender Ankle Scoring (OMAS) method was used and ankle joint range of motion was measured by goniometer.

Results: At the last visit, all the fractures consolidated. Average union time was 16.1weeks (range, 12-24 weeks) in MIPO group and 15.5 weeks (range 10-24 weeks) in IMN group, respectively (p = 0.254). The mean OMAS scores were 67.5 (range 40–90) and 63 (range 30-90) in the IMN and MIPO groups, respectively (p= 0.12). The mean operation time was 95(range 45-115) minutes in IMN group and 75(range 40-100) minutes in MIPO group (p= 0.04). The mean operative radiation exposure times were 30(range 8-143) and 17 (range 5-65) seconds in IMN and MIPO groups, respectively (p= 0.03). Angular deformities were found in IMN group at 7 (23%) patients and in MIPO group at 5 (17%) patients, respectively. Soft tissue problems were seen in more patients in MIPO group.

Conclusion: In conclusion, IMN and MIPO can be used safely in the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures. While IMN caused more angular deformity and more union delay, patients treated with MIPO had poorer functional results and more soft tissue problems.

Published: September 2021

The Messinian (Upper Miocene) is characterized at the level of its marginal basins by the development of numerous carbonate platforms. This study concerns the Messinian platform of the Boukadir region in the south of the Chelif Basin in Algeria. It is composed of a lower prograding rimmed platform and an upper aggradational homoclinal ramp resting upon the Tortonian–Lower Messinian Blue Marl Formation, and its thickness reaches ~280 m in the Chelif Basin. The upper red-algae unit is uniform and subhorizontal with a minimum thickness of 90 m. Petrographic analysis of the upper ramp reveals three different microfacies, characterized by Lithothamnium, foraminifera, high porosity, and a microsparitic matrix. MF1 is a packstone, MF2 a packstone/bindstone deposited above the fair-weather wave base and MF3 is a wackestone to packstone deposited below this level. The upper unit is made up entirely of autochthonous biogenic elements without significant external fluvial contribution. It was formed in a shallow marine environment, with very high productivity and a significant export of the sediments produced. This aggradation was followed by a rapid exhumation (regression) transforming all the aragonite into calcite. The platforms correspond to the T2 complex reef formation (6.7–5.95 Ma) documented on the other Messinian carbonate platforms in the South of the Alboran Sea that formed just before the Messinian Salinity Crisis.

Published: September 2021

O presente artigo tem por finalidade identificar a existência de um núcleo essencial de Direitos Fundamentais que mesmo em tempos de crise devem ser respeitados e promovidos, bem como os limites da atuação do Poder Judiciário nessa missão. Para tanto, inicialmente serão analisados as balizas constitucionais do estado de exceção, tomando-se como exemplo a atual pandêmia decorrente do novo coronavírus (Sars-CoV-2), que como se verá, não pode servir como uma cortina de fumaça para a flexibilização irrestrita das normas da Constituição, nem como escusa para o retrocesso e violação dos direitos e garantias fundamentais. Em seguida, será abordado os principais princípios constitucionais que fundamentam o direito a prestação mínima do Estado e as liberdades individuais dos cidadãos, sopesando-se as dificuldades orçamentárias para a promoção desses Direitos, no cenário de crise econômica, decorrente do combate a calamidade pública. Ao final, serão analisados os princípios dos direitos fundamentais, e a cláusula pétrea da separação dos Poderes, em face da ordem democrática e as limitações da jurisdição constitucional no enfretamento das crises institucionais. A análise será por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e normativa, e o princípio da proporcionalidade se demonstrará como um importante instrumento, a nível de compatibilizar os direitos (fundamentais) individuais e coletivos, com a ordem constitucional democrática.

Authors: Ramadhani Nur Suci , Toaha Toaha , Kasbawati Kasbawati
Published: September 2021

In this paper, the modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with simplified Holling type IV functional response is discussed. It is assumed that the prey population is a dangerous population. The equilibrium point of the model and the stability of the coexistence equilibrium point are analyzed. The simulation results show that both prey and predator populations will not become extinct as time increases. When the prey population density increases, there is a decrease in the predatory population density because the dangerous prey population has a better ability to defend itself from predators when the number is large enough.

Published: September 2021

Until now, the Sunni-Shia conflict in Sampang, Madura has not been fully resolved. Therefore, with a communication science approach, this study will analyze the problems and barriers to intercultural communication that occurs between Sunni and Shia groups, causing eternal conflict. This research was conducted in two places, namely in Karanggayam Village, Omben District, Blu'uran Village, Karang Penang District, Madura, and in Rusunawa Puspa Agro, Sidoarjo. The research method used is the phenomenology of Edmun Husserl. The selection of the phenomenological method was based on the need for research data, namely exploring the experience of intercultural communication of each informant involved in the conflict. The results of the study stated that the barriers to intercultural communication that occur are due to the struggle for social status between Sunni and Shia religious leaders, the low culture of the Madurese community in communicating in the form of firmness in communication, the view of the life of the surrounding community based on syncretism, differences in standards of good or bad values ​​between groups, and perceptions negative relations between groups in the form of prejudice, stereotypes, and ethnocentrism that lead to insincerity in communication.

Fine Structure Constant derived from Principle Theory.
Authors: Geilhaupt Manfred
Published: September 2021

Derivation of mass (m), charge (e) and fine structure constant (FSC) from theory are unsolved problems in physics up to now. Neither the Standard Model (SM) nor the General theory of Relativity (GR) has provided a complete explanation for mass, charge and FSC. The question “of what is rest mass” is therefore still essentially unanswered. We will show that the combination of two Principle Theories, General Relativity and Thermodynamics (TD), is able to derive the restmass of an electron (m) which surprisingly depends on the (Sommerfeld) FSC (same for the charge (e)).

Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disease with high heterogeneity. The disease is chronic, relapsing repeatedly and progressive with acute exacerbation occasionally. Although the treatment of MG has developed, it is still unsatisfactory and has some unexpected side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has shown great potential in MG treatment, including relief of muscle weakness syndrome, improvement of patient’s quality of life and reduction of side effects of western medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (MBYD) as an add-on therapy for MG through a small series of N-of-1 trials.Methods: Single-centre, randomized, double-blind, 3 crossover N-of-1 trials will be conducted to enroll 12 adult patients with MG diagnosed as spleen-stomach deficiency syndrome or spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome in TCM. Each N-of-1 trial has 3 cycles of two 4-week periods containing the MBYD period and placebo period. The wash-out interval of 1-week is prior to switching each period. Primary outcome: Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG). Secondary outcomes: the following scales: myasthenia gravis composite (MGC), myasthenia gravis activities of daily living profile (MG-ADL), myasthenia gravis quality of life (MG-QOL); the level of CD4+FoxP3+Treg cells and cytokines (IL-4, IL-17A, INF-γ, TGF-β) in the peripheral blood; the alterations of the composition of gut microbiota; reduction of the side effects of western medicine. Discussion: Paired t tests or Wilcoxon signed rank tests will be used to analyse this trials’ data and the results we arrived at will be interpreted cautiously. We assumed that this study would reveal that MBYD is effective for MG and provide robust evidence of the efficacy of TCM to treat MG.

For some low-orbit satellites, SADA (solar array drive assembly) is not necessary but steady sun-pointing is required. Magnetic-based attitude control schemes are adopted by more and more low-cost low-orbit satellites and magnetic-based sunpointing attitude control schemes have been proposed for various satellites. For magnetic Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS), magnetometer and magnetic torquer are the core ADCS components while sun sensor and gyro, which would be employed to determine or estimate sun vector, are important ones. Due to the underactuated characteristics, magnetic attitude control torque could not stabilize the full attitude but the two components of the attitude, simultaneously, which means that magnetic attitude control effort could orientate the solar panels to the Sun. A Lyapunov function, combining the rotational energy and sun angle, is formulated and a PD-type sun-pointing attitude control scheme is proposed to meet the requirements corresponding to sun-pointing task. Further, the effectiveness of the PD-type sun angle-based magnetic attitude control scheme, composed of proportional term, damping term and spinning term, has been verified by use of Lyapunov direct method. Simulations show that, the proposed PD-type attitude control scheme is a suitable sun-pointing scheme for magnetic satellites.

Purpose: To analyze clinical features of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) patients who received initial treatments at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University.Methods: The patient record system was screened to extract clinical data including demographics, pregnancy history, diagnosis, staging, prognostic score, treatment. Student t test, x2 test, and Fischer’s exact test were used.Results: This study included 387 patients with GTN. Patients were divided into 2009-2014 and 2015-2020 groups, including 177 and 210 cases, respectively. Patients in 2015-2020 group had higher parity than those in 2009-2014 group (1.2±1.2 vs 0.9±1.2, P=0.030). Nullípara (73 [41.2%] vs 65 [31.0%]) and primípara (71 [40.1%] vs 84 [40.0%]) were more frequently seen in 2009-2014 group than those in 2015-2020 group, but multípara (61 [29.0%] vs 33 [18.7%]) was more common in 2015-2020 group (P=0.028). For patients in 2015-2020 group, more patients demonstrated 1 or more metastases (107 [51.0%] vs 63 [35.6%], P=0.014) than those in 2009-2014 group. Patients in 2015-2020 group had more distant invasions affecting more organs, including lungs (76 [36.2%] vs 52 [29.4%]) and lungs combining with other organs (31 [14.8%] vs 11 [6.2%]), than those in 2009-2014 group (P=0.003).Conclusions: Although patients diagnosed with GTN between 2015 to 2020 is associated with higher parity, more children, and more distant metastases, we cannot simply conclude that clinical features of GTN has changed over time.

Zinc chromite nanoparticles (NPs) and zinc chromite-reduced graphene oxide (ZnCr2O4-rGO) nanocomposite have been synthesized by the combined effect of reflux condensation and calcination process. The structural properties were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-visible studies etc. Structural morphology was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that indicates the formation of particles in nanometre regime. The catalytic effects of synthesized materials were studied in presence of visible light assisted by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and they show excellent photo activity which supports the band gap value and photoluminescence outcome. The presence of the elements Zn, Cr, O and C has been confirmed by Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) images which show the purity of the synthesized products.

The influences of biological, chemical, and flow processes on soil structure through microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) are not yet fully understood. In this study, we use the Kapur entropy (KE) multi-level thresholding segmentation algorithm to quantitatively characterize sandy soil structure altered by MICP treatment. A sandy soil specimen was treated by MICP and scanned by the synchrotron radiation micro-CT with a resolution of 6.5 µm. After validation, tri-level thresholding segmentation using KE successfully separated the precipitated calcium carbonate crystals from sand particles and pores. Spatial distribution of porosity, pore structure parameters, and flow characteristics were calculated for quantitative characterization. The size effect of the specimen was discovered to be a key factor affecting the performance of MICP treated soil. The results offer pore-scale insights of MICP treatment effect, and the quantitative understanding confirms the importance of the KE multi-level thresholding segmentation algorithm.

BackgroundAlthough glutamyl-prolyl tRNA synthetase (EPRS) mRNA is overexpressed and plays an important role in most tumors, its role in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. MethodsThe expression of EPRS in tumor and adjacent tissues was queried using TIMER and The Cancer Genome Atlas. The results were validated using the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on RNA extracted from tumor and adjacent non-tumor samples from 10 HCC patients.ResultsUsing bioinformatics analysis, we found that EPRS mRNA was overexpressed in HCC tumor tissues, and the expression level of EPRS mRNA in The Cancer Genome Atlas database was significantly correlated with tumor size (p = 0.0010), histological grade (p = 0.0002), TNM stage (p = 0.0001), and vascular invasion (p = 0.0123) of HCC. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that the expression of EPRS mRNA was associated with poor overall survival (p = 0.0004). Ten pairs of tumor and adjacent normal tissues were collected from patients with HCC, and the expression of EPRS mRNA was verified. The results showed that the EPRS mRNA level in HCC tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues (p = 0.0401). ConclusionOverexpression of EPRS mRNA may be associated with tumorigenesis and the progression of HCC.

This study sought to explore the medicinal properties of extracts obtained from C. edulis seeds. The seeds were obtained from farms in the Upper East Region of Ghana, dried and milled into coarse powder. Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol were used to extract the bioactive compounds present in the seeds by the cold maceration method. Antioxidant properties of the extracts were evaluated using the Phosphomolybdenum and DPPH free radical scavenging assays. The Folin-Ciocalteu assay was used to estimate the total phenol content and carrageenan-induced paw oedema model in chicks employed for the anti-inflammatory effects. The results showed that methanol extract had the highest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities while the petroleum ether extract showed the least activity. The anti-inflammatory activity of the methanol extract (31.3% oedema inhibition at 300 mg/kg body weight) was however lower than diclofenac (54.04% oedema inhibition at 100 mg/kg body weight), the reference drug. Compounds such as tannins, alkaloids, and carotenoids detected during phytochemical screening may be responsible for the activities observed.
