Authors: ÇETİN KARGIN Nisa
Published: June 2021

Objective: During the coronavirus-19 (Covid-19) pandemic, an effective treatment method for the treatment and prevention of the disease has not been determined yet. Promising results have been achieved in the treatment of Covid-19 with a holistic approach in addition to conventional medical methods in traditional and complementary medicine practices (TCM), which are increasing in popularity today. This study was aimed to evaluate the view, attitude and behavior of the participants who applied with the suspicion of Covid-19 in the treatment and protection of Covid-19.

Material and methods: A 12-question questionnaire was applied to the volunteers among the patients who applied to the outpatient clinic with the suspicion of Covid-19. Participants were asked multiple choice questions questioning their beliefs and previous experiences in TCM and their views, beliefs and behaviors in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19.

Results: 145 (77,5%) of the participants say that they have knowledge about TCM and 71,7% of them believe in TCM applications. In addition, 33.2% of the participants have applied to TCM applications before. During the pandemic period, phytotherapy (22,46%) was the second cupping treatment (12,83%), which was considered to be the most beneficial application. Although 27,7% of the participants thought that TCM would not be more beneficial than conventional Covid-19 drugs, 19,79% believed that it would be beneficial with routine medications.

Conclusion: In Turkey increased knowledge and beliefs about TCM applications in all walks though the Covid-19 in the treatment and prevention holistic approach to conventional medicine has still not accepted enough belief in society.

Published: June 2021

Objetive: provide a scalable environment to represent the concepts of the basic profile of the ISO / IEC 29110 standard for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and their relationships. Methodology: In this paper we propose a novel approach for generating an ontology related to the ISO/IEC 29110 basic profile. We follow some steps: (i) modeling the domain by using executable pre-conceptual schemas; (ii) creating equivalences between pre-conceptual schemas and ontology elements; (iii) translating such equivalences into Protégé, an ontology-based environment; and (iv) creating rules for inferring knowledge from the ontology in order to overcome the aforementioned problems. Results: We create an ontology related to concepts of the ISO/IEC 29110 and their relations in its basic profile. We also answer questions in order to ease the implementation process of the ISO/IEC 29110 basic profile. Conclusions: The resulting ontology serves as support for VSEs and academics when implementing or teaching the basic profile of the ISO/IEC 29110.

Published: June 2021

Large-scale wastewater surveillance offers a great tool for group tracking of infection dynamics especially for large communities where continuous individual testing is not feasible. However, current methods for viral wastewater detection are severely lacking in terms of cost and scaling up for high throughput. In this study, we employed a full streamlined, cost efficient process for sample collection, magnetic-bead based concentration, nucleic acid extraction, and multiplexed PCR for wastewater based detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles in up to 96 samples per run. The method compares favorably to existing used methods for viral wastewater detection and can be used to process up to 100 samples per day with a 4.5 hour turnaround time from sampling to results. Currently, the high-throughput protocol is being used in UCSD for processing sewage samples from the 121 campus autosamplers as well as the SD county sewage samples (~120 samples run per day).

Authors: Schmutz Isabelle , Carter Jade
Published: June 2021

This protocol is for nuclei isolation from frozen mouse brain or human postmortem brain and processing of these nuclei for loading on single cell sequencing platforms. Nuclei are prepared by dounce homogenization under mild cell lysis conditions. They are purified from myelin, subcellular debris and ambient RNA using centrifugation through an iodixanol cushion. Isolated nuclei can be directly loaded onto a single nucleus sequencing platform or they can be additionally permeabilized for combined single nucleus RNAseq/ATACseq. The protocol is compatible with working on small amounts of tissue, using microtubes and benchtop centrifuges. We have successfully prepared nuclei from as little as 10 mg of frozen mouse brain tissue and processed them through the 10x Genomics Multiome assay.

The psychological and pedagogical program belongs to the direction of psychological correction of behavior and developmental disorders of students. In this particular version, the program is aimed at correcting aggressive forms of behavior and the formation of skills for effective interaction with the outside world in children 5–7 years old. The program “Warmth and Light of Hearts” is designed for the age category of senior preschool children with a period of implementation of 6–6.5 months. This program is intended for preschoolers with both normal physical and intellectual development, and with the peculiarities of psychophysical development. In addition, the program can be used to work with aggressive children, both from well-off and disadvantaged families and families in difficult life situations. The relevance and timeliness of the program lies in a purposefully developed and positively regulated mechanism for responding and correcting aggressive, destructive behavior in pre-school children, taking into account their individual characteristics and social developmental situation. The period of preschool childhood is the most favorable for the formation of the necessary mental functions and socially significant personality traits. In preschool age, the prerequisites for the formation and formation of a personality are laid, therefore, it will be especially important and timely to help children whose aggressiveness is at an early stage, i.e. in preschool age. Correctional work will be most effective if it is carried out simultaneously with consulting and training work with the family. The originality and effectiveness of the program lies in the fact that it includes not only correctional and developmental classes with children, but also child-parenting classes, training seminars for parents aimed at harmonizing child-parent relations, which plays an important role in correcting children’s aggressiveness. The main emphasis in the program is placed on the formation of social skills and competencies in children.

Authors: Mirucka Beata , Kisielewska Monika
Published: June 2021

This paper investigates the impact of state self-objectification on body image and tests the role of self-esteem in this relationship. The study group consisted of 136 adolescents from a junior high school in Poland, aged 14 to 16 years: 65 boys (Mage = 15; SD = 0.79) and 71 girls (Mage = 14.93; SD = 0.82). Both age groups were relatively homogeneous in terms of demography and BMI. The study consisted of three phases. First, the participants completed demographic measures assessing demographic variables, body image, and self-esteem. The second phase was conducted one week later to induce a temporary state of self-objectification by means of a magnifying mirror. The third phase followed a ten-minute experimental exposure by filling in the Self-Objectification State Questionnaire. A mediation analysis was performed separately in both adolescent groups, according to the approach proposed by Hayes and Preacher (2014). Self-esteem mediated significantly the relationship between state self-objectification and body image. In the group of girls the mediation model produced a complete effect, whereas in the group of boys the mediation effect was partial.

The integration of entertainment and education has been studied over the years (RAPEEPISARN, et al. 2006). In this regard, games and gamified activities are motivating factors for L2 learning, after all, people learn more when what they do becomes a relevant activity (CROSS, 2007). Through bibliographic studies and data collected with high school students, this quantitative research aims to verify the acquisition of English vocabulary by playing videogames, as well as the recognition by students of the new vocabulary learnt in the second language (L2). In this empirical research, we collected data throughout the year of 2020 in a state public school in the city of Gravataí/RS with students of the third grade of high school. Therefore, we applied a questionnaire with 70 students aged 16-19 to examine their opinion on the use of videogames as a teaching tool. The data collected include information about players and non-players, while the data analysis includes the response of 45 players on different aspects about playing. With the analysis, it was possible to build the profile of these participants and verify that the students greatly increase their vocabulary when playing, at the same time they develop reading and listening comprehension. Although this research presents information about a specific group of participants, it is possible to say that, playing games makes students have fun, feel motivated and challenged to learn the L2, which is a benefit to the learning process.

The main purpose of this article is studying features of strategic management of the interaction of state institutions and enterprises from the position of finding compromise solutions, and the appropriate tools that allow ensuring a balance of interests of society and business in the implementation of foreign economic activity. The methodological basis of the study is game theory, since it is the most acceptable tool used if there is a conflict of interests of the parties. Moreover, the parties to such a conflict often make strategic decisions without knowing about the decisions of their opponents, which we observe in modern business. The game model of interaction between FEA participants and state institutions, developed in the main part of the study, is presented in the form of a non-coalition game. It has been established that the practical implementation of the found combined situation (solution of the game) fully relies on state institutions.
Emerging Perspectives of Endotracheal Intubation in Patients with Severe COVID- 19 Pneumonia: A Narrative Review
Authors: Kapoor Dheeraj , Atter Pradeep , Kang Amanat , Singh Manpreet
Published: June 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) pandemic that has engulfed the world has put an immense strain on the existing healthcare systems. The rapid, insidious and often dramatic deterioration of the respiratory function of an infected patient, has led to an increased need for effective and rapid airway control. However, such airway control techniques put the healthcare workers to an increased risk of exposure to the virus. Therefore, interventions aimed at minimising such risks, while preventing the complications inherent to securing an airway are imperative to the management of a COVID-19 patient in acute respiratory failure (ARF). Personal protective equipment (PPE) is sine qua non to keep the intubator safe, however some barrier equipment’s have been employed with limited success. There are varied schools of thought on whether to intubate early or late, and the use of non-invasive methods for management of respiratory failure, however, most consensus statements reinforce the need for rapid sequence induction (RSI), which provides ideal intubating environment for an experienced intubator. Techniques, which decrease the number of required personnel as well as time, to secure the airway and increase the distance of the intubating physician from the patient, are recommended. Routine use of, videolaryngoscope, if available, is recommended. While intubation with an endotracheal tube is the gold standard airway technique, second generation supraglottic airway devices (SAD) are increasingly being recommended, particularly in cases of failure to intubate or in an unanticipated difficult airway. Awake intubation techniques are contraindicated due to increased risk of cough and subsequent aerosolization; however, few modifications were innovated when if it all required. In this review, we summarise the existing data with respect to the modifications and guidelines in severe COVID-19 patients who requires endotracheal intubation for invasive mechanical ventilatory support.

Authors: Adams Samuel Olorunfemi , Obaromi Davies Abiodun , Rauf Rauf Ibrahim
Published: June 2021

Introduction: The need to model the impact of some demographic indicators on the frequency of household visits to healthcare centres in Nigeria's community is very important for preventing and spreading community diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the patents' age, gender, marital status, type of illness and amount spent on the frequency of visits to community health care centres in Nigeria and to compared Negative Binomial Regression (NBR) and Generalized Poisson Regression (GPR) models to determine the preferred count regression model for the number of household visits to health centres in some communities in Nigeria.
Methods: Survey of 132640 households in some Nigeria communities obtained from the 2018/2019 Nigeria Living Standard Survey (NLSS) were extracted from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in collaboration with the World Bank. The Negative Binomial and Generalised Poisson regression models were used to investigate the five demographic variables on the frequency of visit to the community health centres. The performance of the count regression model was assessed using the Chi-square -2log Likelihood Statistic (2logL), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) selection criteria.
Results: Findings from the study showed that the type of illness and amount spent has a significantly positive effect on the number of household members' visits to the community health care centres in Nigeria while age, gender, and marital status was discovered to have a negative effect on the number of household members' visits to the community health care centres in Nigeria.
Conclusion: The Nigeria Government, health centre management and community healthcare service providers' need to be aware that the amount spent and the nature of illness determines the level of health care services utilisation in the Nigeria community, hence the need for the drastic reduction in charges to encourage a household visit to the community health centres whenever the need arises.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: The incidence of multiple births in the world has increased significantly .There are few studies on the nutritional status of twins, to our knowledge, no study has been conducted in this field in Iran. These are among many reasons that make this study, which aims to identify major dietary patterns and Chronic Disease’s Effective Factors on the General Health Condition of Tehran’s Opposite Gender Adult Twins, valuable.
Materials and Methods: 128 people (64 pairs) of Opposite Gender Twins participated in this study. After completing the general information questionnaires, International Physical Activity, Semi-quantitative food frequency, and general health, anthropometric indices, and their blood pressure were measured. Dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. The relationship between dietary patterns and factors affecting chronic diseases with general health was calculated using the logistic regression method.
Results: Two western and healthy dietary patterns were identified. There was a significant relationship between the Western dietary pattern and age, gender, and father's education. Twin participants who scored higher in a quarter of the Western dietary pattern were younger than those with lower scores, with men increasing and women decreasing. There was a significant difference in the distribution of healthy dietary pattern with age, economic status, and systolic blood pressure. An increasing relationship was observed in age. The results showed that in first Twins, only Birth Weight, and Physical Activity, whereas, in second Twins besides Birth Weight, gender and Marital status were among the most significant factors in determining the general health of participants.
Conclusion: The present study shows that there are two major dietary patterns: healthy and western. The Western dietary pattern has the most variance and this indicates the nutritional transition and prevalence of the Western dietary pattern in Iran. The main finding of this study is the association of birth weight with general health in both twins. Birth weight is directly related to health. Those with low birth weight have more health problems in contrast to those with normal birth weight.

Authors: Pujiyanto .
Published: June 2021

This study is a recording of students’ work during the COVID-19 pandemic in the National Art Competition Festival event for Junior High School Students (FLS2N) held by the Ministry of Education and Culture’s National Achievement Center (Puspresnas). Students representing 34 provinces in Indonesia attended this prestigious event. The research was limited to the local dance art, local music art, and design fields, from which three winners were taken respectively. Interviews were conducted with judges, committees, and officials of Puspresnas about the innovation of the work. Observational data documenting the process of the art design were required for validity purposes. Data were analzed using Cougar, Huggins & Mcintyre’s innovation theory, which states that art can be designed through invention, duplication, development, and synthesis. The results were beyond expectations: during the COVID-19 pandemic, local students created beautiful and harmonious dance art, music art, and poster designs that can be enjoyed virtually by people through social media.

Patterns of Traditional Art Studio Management to Increase Artistic Passion
Authors: Dyah Pratamawati E. Wara Suprihatin
Published: June 2021

There are many traditional art studios that grow and develop in Indonesia. However, not all succeed in maintaining artistic activities, so that over time many became extinct. This causes the studio members to lose the means to develop their creative potential. This also creates problems for artists who depend on activities in the studio. However, there are several studios that still exist and are even growing in the midst of the expanding arts of this global era. This cannot be separated from the traditional studio management that is implemented. This research used a multi case study approach with data collection techniques of interviews, observations and document study. To ensure data validity, this study applied source and method triangulation. The results showed that the existence of the studio depends on its managerial activity.

This study aimed to determine how companies successfully created visual brands during the COVID-19 pandemic that are easy to remember, contextually-relevant, and educated the public about the current pandemic. The phenomenology research method was used, which is a method to deeply observe actual and factual phenomena occurring at a specific time. This method runs with several steps to find out the essence of the phenomenon that occurs. The results of this study explain consumer behaviour, visual strategies that can be taken by companies in dealing with pandemic situations, and how companies and brands communicate in the new-normal era. It will be a valuable input, especially for visual communication design science, because the collected data can be used to determine strategies and visual communication techniques during a pandemic. Data related to the stage of consumer shifting during a pandemic can also be used to determine the direction of branding and brand communication with the community.
