A simple and fast flow injection amperometry for the determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical preparations using an unmodified boron-doped diamond electrode
Authors: Meoipun Adison , Kaewjua Kantima , Chailapakul Orawon , Siangproh Weena
Published: March 2023

In this work, an automated flow injection analysis (FIA) connected to a boron-doped diamond electrode (BDDE) was originally developed for the analysis of methimazole in pharmaceutical preparations. At a modification-free BDDE, methimazole was easilly oxidized. For the analysis of the mechanisms occurring at the electrode surface, cyclic voltammetry was employed to evaluate the impact of fundamental experimental parameters, such as pH and scan rate, on the BDDE response. For the quantitative detection, the FIA amperometric approach was constructed and used as a fast and sensitive method. The suggested approach provided a broad linear range of 0.5–50 µmol/L and a low detection limit of 10 nmol/L (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). Furthermore, the BDDE was successfully utilized to quantify methimazole in genuine samples from a variety of medicines, and its performance remained steady after more than 50 tests. The findings of amperometric measurements exhibit excellent repeatability, with relative standard deviations of less than 3.9 and 4.7 % for intra-day and inter-day, respectively. The findings indicated that, compared with traditional approaches, the suggested method has the following advantages: quick analysis time, simplicity, highly sensitive output, and no need for complicated operational processes.

Endogenous Environmental Conservation	Awareness in Sangu Oral Tales
Authors: KALENGE MICHAEL
Published: March 2023

African culture is a rich reservoir of varying degrees of information. It encompasses unique knowledge originating from within Africa, which is reflected in its people’s traditions and customs. This knowledge engrafts and provides solutions to a myriad of problems. Among others, it provides solutions to compelling environmental challenges like land degradation, water and air pollution, global warming and climate change. This paper presents a textual analysis of five (5) Sangu oral tales that represent ecological knowledge and practices of the Sangu people. This is done as a way to unriddle the ongoing environmental enigma in the Usangu plain, and the world at large. The tales under scrutiny are: Umutwa na Avatambule Vaakwe (‘The Chief and His Sub-chiefs’); iNjokha wiita Nguluvi (‘Snakes like God’); Munego (‘A Trap’); iJungwa Sikhandi Vaanu (‘Elephants Were Once Human Beings’); and Amagulu ga Nguluvi (‘The Feet of God’). A total of twenty (20) tales were collected qualitatively through one-on-one in-depth interviews with Sangu storytellers; and then through content analysis method: all of which found the five aforementioned tales fit for the subject matter. The results show that the telling of the oral stories is not just an occasion but also a display of skills and knowledge of a particular people, and that the solutions to the current global environmental crisis lie in people’s traditions as expressed in their environment-related oral narratives.

Hypoglycaemia, low Blood Glucose BG when BG falls below 3.0mmol/l exhibits Physiological Symptoms of Tremor, Sweating and Hunger, requiring prompt glucose treatment input which if not corrected leads to Confusion, Sensory Disturbance and Behaviour Change at 2.0mmol/l described as Neuroglycopenia. If Blood Glucose BG falls to 1.0mmol/l or 18mg/dl Diabetic Coma is likely to occur leading to unconsciousness and without fast acting glucose severe risk of death. An estimated 600 million patients with Diabetes are thought to exist in the World in 2022 and an estimated 4.5 million in the UK. It is estimated 10% of Diabetes patients are T1D Type 1 Diabetes Insulin Dependent and 90% T2D Type 2 Diabetes Patients Non-Insulin Dependent. Many T2D Patients may require Insulin Treatment several years after diagnosis. Does society really understand the daily burden the diabetes patient faces and the need if things go wrong to provide emergency patient support or the need for A1 Red Alert Emergency support in a hospital, and Paramedic Ambulance support in the Community? This is identified in the UK alone as over 95,000 Emergency Diabetes Hypoglycaemia Calls every year, many of which are potentially avoidable with better understanding and education with family and/or friend witness support.
Consumer Brand Identification and Purchase Intentions: The Mediating Role of Customer Brand Engagement
Authors: Aziz Muhammad Asim , Mirza Ashfaq Ahmed
Published: March 2023

Although there has been significant growth in the literature on customer brand engagement, there have been relatively few empirical investigations on its causes and effects. Companies increasingly seek customer engagement with their services and/or products to track their brand performance. The primary purpose of this research was to evaluate the relationship between consumer brand identification and customer brand engagement. This research examines the mediating influence of customer brand engagement on the connection between consumer brand identification and purchase intention. Furthermore, the impact of brand engagement on purchase intention is investigated in this article. The responses of 443 participants were collected using a convenient sampling method. A structural equation modelling (SEM) approach using partial least squares (PLS) was used to conduct the analysis of the data. This investigation's theoretical underpinning is supported by social identity theory. According to the findings of this research, consumer brand identification is the primary driver of customer brand engagement. Customer brand engagement partially mediates the link between consumer brand identification and purchase intention. Additionally, this study reveals that customer brand engagement impacts the purchase intention of fashion clothing businesses. In the context of fashion clothing brands, brand managers should analyse customer brand engagement's role, specifically in generating purchase intention. This study broadens our understanding of customer brand engagement within the context of the fashion apparel industry. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by expanding our understanding of the interrelationships between consumer brand identification, customer brand engagement, and purchase intention among consumers of fashion apparel brands in the emerging economy of Pakistan. Moreover, this study is exceptional since it investigates consumer brand identification in a novel context.

Published: February 2023

Radio sales revenue has remained a concern for many commercial radio stations the world over. This study attributed sales revenues of radio stations in Kampala Capital City Authority to digital marketing. The specific objectives of the study were; to determine the level of sales revenues of radio stations, examine the effect of social media on sales revenue of radio stations, to ascertain the effect of website marketing on sales revenue of radio stations, and to determine the effect of content marketing on sales revenue of radio stations in Kampala Capital City Authority. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design with both quantitative and qualitative approaches.  Quantitative data was collected from all the selected 30 participants; thus 100% response rate was attained. Qualitative data was collected from 6 key informant interviews (managers of the radio stations) which was the saturation point. The study results showed a moderate sales revenue (M = 2.97, SD = 0.72) of the radio stations. Overall, there was a moderate level of use of digital marketing by the radio stations in Kampala Capital City Authority (M = 3.08, SD = 0.83).  The results showed that all digital marketing aspects namely; social media marketing, and content marketing explained only 3.1% of the variation in radio sales revenue (adjusted R2 = 0.031). This means that 96.9% of the variation was accounted for by other factors not considered under the current study.  Results indicate that only one aspect of digital marketing aspects, namely; website marketing (β = 269, p = 0.031) had a positive and significant influence on radio sales revenue. The study concluded that radio stations should mainly focus on using website marketing for improved sales revenue. The study recommended that the government of Uganda through the Ministry of ICT should further enhance the internet infrastructure to enable radio stations to design and host functioning websites.

El presente artículo es parte de la ponencia presentada en el Congreso Científico Multidisciplinario Redilat 2022. Antes de la pandemia por COVID-19 ya se habían identificado una serie de factores asociados que inciden en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Se indagó sobre los factores que quedaron en evidencia durante la pandemia y post pandemia por COVID-19 en Colombia. Se asumió el enfoque metodológico cualitativo, fundamentado en el análisis de estudios empíricos obtenidos del Repositorio de la CEPAL y Google Scholar, lo que permitió el ejercicio reflexivo en torno a las acciones llevadas a cabo por el Gobierno Nacional en el ámbito educativo, teniendo en cuenta que  gran parte de las medidas adoptadas por los países de la región para afrontar la crisis sanitaria se basaron en el cierre de los establecimientos educativos y suspensión de  clases presenciales en todos los niveles de educación, lo que permitió evidenciar el despliegue de acciones encaminadas a minimizar el impacto de políticas sanitarias enfocadas al confinamiento y distanciamiento social, dando origen a la implementación de estrategias como el aprendizaje a distancia, con el uso de diversas plataformas o guías de estudio; el apoyo y la movilización del personal y las comunidades educativas, y la atención a la salud y el bienestar integral de las y los estudiantes. El objetivo de este estudio es visibilizar el impacto generado en torno a diversos factores asociados al aprendizaje (cognitivo, social, afectivo, medioambiental, entre otros) a corto y mediano plazo, y proponer recomendaciones para que permitan una actitud resiliente ante cualquier tipo de crisis.

Authors: Prabha B Sathya , Vijayaraghavan Jaya , Venkatesh N. , Sivakumar R.
Published: March 2023

Aim. Women experience significant physiological and anatomical adaptations during pregnancy to meet the maternal and foetal demands. Biomechanical and hormonal factors, ligament laxity, posture and weight gain may put lot of stress on musculoskeletal system which may in turn induce various musculoskeletal symptoms in pregnancy. Most of the women believe that physical activity during pregnancy is harmful to maternal and foetal health, which results reduction in their routine physical activity. Physical inactivity during gestational period leads to various maternal discomforts and complications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of structured antenatal exercise programme and education on pregnancy related musculoskeletal discomforts.
Material and Methods. Total of 186 mothers were recruited for the study. 94 Participants were selected as the study group samples and 92 were chosen as the control group .The study group received structured antenatal classes and education in addition to routine antenatal care whereas the control group received routine antenatal care and exercises. Antenatal classes were conducted as individualised therapy for the interventional group along with routine antenatal care from 20th week of gestation. The primary outcome measure was pregnancy induced musculoskeletal dysfunction scale (PMDS scale). PMDS scale was assessed at 20, 24 and 32 weeks.
Results and Discussion. There was a significant difference in the values of low back pain, symphysis pubic pain, knee pain, pelvic girdle pain and edema at 32 weeks (p value p< 0.05). Exercise during pregnancy increased the β endorphin levels and decrease the perception of pain and pregnancy induced musculoskeletal symptoms.
Conclusion. The antenatal exercise programme and education were found to be effective in reducing pregnancy induced musculoskeletal dysfunction. Hence we suggest the pregnancy exercise and education programme in routine antenatal care to improve maternal quality of life.

Editorial: Consequences of the Corona crisis for social inequalities in Germany
Authors: Kleinert Corinna , Gebel Michael
Published: March 2023

The possible consequences of the Corona crisis for social inequalities have received a lot of attention in public as well as scientific debates. On the one hand, concerns have been raised that the pandemic intensified pre-existing patterns of social inequality. On the other hand, the crisis has also been seen as an opportunity for social change and a renegotiation of social relationships. Complementing previous research that focused on the immediate consequences of the pandemic, this Special Issue is devoted to its longer-term effects. It unites six theory-guided empirical studies that use qualitative and quantitative longitudinal data to study changes in social inequality in the course of the pandemic in different life domains. Overall, the results do not show a universal trend of increased inequalities. While changes in different life domains occurred, such as better grading for students, intensified strong ties in families or increased social trust, there is only limited evidence of changes in social inequalities. In general, a complex picture of effects, consequences and concomitants of the pandemic appears.

Auch konkrete Gesetzesvorschläge wurden unterbreitet, die der Gesetzgeber zum Anlass nehmen sollte, das Recht der Wiederaufnahme zu reformieren.
Allokationsentscheidungen in Dilemmasituationen – Zum Entwurf eines zweiten Gesetzes zur Änderung des Infektionsschutzgesetzes
Authors: Windsberger Alexandra
Published: March 2023

Mit Beschluss vom 16.12.2021 hat das BVerfG den Gesetzgeber aufgefordert, Vorkehrungen zu treffen, damit im Falle knapper Behandlungsressourcen bei ärztlichen Zuteilungsentscheidungen niemand wegen einer Behinderung benachteiligt wird. Eine gesetzliche Entscheidungsregel für sog. Triagesituationen existierte bislang nicht, die strafrechtliche Bewertung blieb bis zuletzt kontrovers. Im Großen und Ganzen gibt es im Umgang mit solchen Dilemmasituationen nur zwei Handlungsmöglichkeiten: Entweder man wirft eine Münze oder man konsultiert ein materielles Entscheidungskriterium. Der Gesetzgeber hat mit § 5c des Entwurfs eines zweiten Gesetzes zur Änderung des Infektionsschutzgesetzes nun einen lang erwarteten Vorschlag für solche ärztlichen Dilemmata vorgelegt. Entscheidend ist, wer die größte Chance hat, die Krankheit hier und jetzt zu überleben. Was genau bei der Bemessung dieser Chance berücksichtigt werden darf, mit welchen Strafbarkeitsrisiken Ärzte weiterhin konfrontiert sind und ob der Entwurf vielleicht sogar eine plausible Antwort auf eines der größten Gerechtigkeitsrätsel des Abendlandes enthält, ist Gegenstand dieses Beitrags.

Innovationskommunikation in Deutschland
Authors: Schützeneder Jonas
Published: March 2023

Innovation is a trendy word in the German language, serving as a criterion of quality and a promise of the future. This book addresses this topic, firstly by identifying the dimensions of innovation (communication). This is followed by a three-stage analysis: the interplay of an automated content analysis of over 127,000 articles from leading German media corporations and the qualitative analysis of documents from various DAX companies yields numerous insights into how innovation is spoken and written about in Germany. One of them, the concept of innovation, is used offensively but superficially, and at the same time has become the central currency of business.

Droysens Weg zu seinen Quellen: Ein Blick auf die Praxis quellenfundierten historischen Arbeitens.

Johann Gustav Droysen (1808-1884) gilt gemeinhin als Vater der historischen Quellenkritik. Doch wie gelangte er an seine Quellen? Der Zugang zu historischem Material war in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ein exklusives soziales Privileg und kein allgemeines und gleiches gesellschaftliches Recht.

Philipp Müller richtet am Beispiel der Studie »Das Leben des Feldmarschalls Grafen York von Wartenburg« den Blick auf die praktische Forschungstätigkeit des Historikers Droysen. Während bislang dessen Konzepte und Reflexionen im Vordergrund standen, enthüllt Müller ein historisches Verstehen, das pragmatisch, in konzeptioneller Hinsicht vielfältig und maßgeblich von der Praxis des Sammelns geleitet war. Zum Vorschein kommt eine kaum beachtete soziale Komponente historischen Forschens. Droysens Materialakquise beruhte oft auf Gefälligkeiten oder Quellengeschenken. Dies wirkte zurück auf die Darstellung von Geschichte und auf die Kritik und Analyse des Quellenmaterials: Droysen bedankte sich in seiner historischen Studie mit Diskretion, mit Wahrheit und Pietät – nicht ohne seine eigene Glaubwürdigkeit und Autorität als quellenversierter Historiker der Neuzeit erfolgreich unter Beweis zu stellen.
Heimaten
Authors: Küster Hansjörg
Published: March 2023

Orte werden von Natur und Kultur geprägt, sind mit Ideen verbunden und werden erst im Gespräch mit anderen Menschen zur Heimat.

In der Geobotanik geht es um die Beziehungen der Pflanzen zu ihren Wuchsorten, zum Boden und zum Klima. Der Standort, an dem Pflanzen wachsen, ist von einer langen Geschichte und vielfältigen Einflüssen der Menschen geprägt. Daher setzt geobotanisches Arbeiten stets auch die Auseinandersetzung mit Geologie, Geographie und Klimatologie, aber vor allem mit historischen Abläufen und kulturgeschichtlichen Fachgebieten voraus. Es müssen immer wieder Brücken geschlagen werden von naturwissenschaftlichen zu kulturwissenschaftlichen Themen. Diese Form von Interdisziplinarität ermöglicht es, eine Heimat zu erkennen und zu beschreiben.

Über Landschaften, Heimaten und deren Pflanzen hat Hansjörg Küster in den letzten Jahrzehnten immer wieder publiziert, für Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen, Überblicksdarstellungen und Handbücher. Oft stehen Landschaften im Mittelpunkt, die man als Heimaten verstehen kann und in denen man Menschen aus Nah und Fern integrieren kann - wenn man nur darüber spricht. Die Beiträge dieses Buches geben dafür vielerlei Anregungen.

Duodenal Stenosis: A Case Report
Authors: Zahrany Cindy Gisella , Shahnaz Farahdina , Kadim Muzal
Published: March 2023

Background: Congenital duodenal stenosis in pediatric patients was often underreported due to its non-conspicuous signs and symptoms. Diagnosing duodenal stenosis is often challenging as this disease causes partial intestinal obstruction and thus presents with more indolent and atypical clinical manifestations. This case report aims to describe the atypical case of pediatric duodenal stenosis which presented with recurrent vomiting and poor weight gain as well as highlight some of the diagnostic challenges.

Case: A 7-month-old girl was admitted to the emergency room with chief complaint of recurrent vomiting in the last 2 days prior to hospital admission. Patient had a history of recurrent bilious vomiting at the age of 3 days old with a frequency of 3-4 times a day and were admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks. Parents also reported of poor weight gain in the last 3 months. Abdominal X-Ray series showed dilatation of the small intestines immediately after pylorus and stack of coins sign. Esophageal endoscopic evaluation showed signs of severe GERD with a pyloric gap as well as a suspicion of a duodenal web

Discussion: Congenital obstruction at the duodenum may occurs due to intrinsic or extrinsic etiology. Failure of duodenal re-canalization during the 8-10th week of embryological development is thought to be the main cause of intrinsic duodenal obstruction (atresia, stenosis or duodenal web). The appearance of clinical manifestation of duodenal stenosis depends on the degree of stenosis itself.

Conclusion: Congenital duodenal stenosis may present with atypical presentations in neonates which requires clinicians to be fully aware of this diagnosis to ensure timely therapy. The main management of duodenal stenosis is surgery, however fluid administration, decompressing as well as other supportive treatment are equally crucial to ensure better outcome for the patient.
