Psychological Disorders
Authors: Tariq Ayesha
Published: December 2022

Psychological disorder is referred to as a clinically significant disruption in a person's behavior, cognition and emotional control. It is often linked to distress or functional impairment in key areas of brain functioning. Depression, bipolar illness, schizophrenia, and eating disorders are just a few examples of psychological problems. Psychological problems may be connected to several other conditions, such as insomnia, psychosis, stress, and anxiety. Different people are affected differently by these disorders and their severity might vary. Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most prevalent psychological illnesses, affecting 1 in 8 persons, or 970 million people worldwide [1]. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of individuals who suffer from anxiety and depression illnesses have greatly increased in 2020. Initial projections indicate a 26% and 28% rise in major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders in only one year [2]. In Pakistan, psychological problems represent more than 4% of all disease burden, with women's mental health being greatly affected and neglected. According to estimates, 24 million Pakistanis need mental care and half of the population does not have access to the psychiatrists [3].

The likelihood of having psychiatric problems is influenced by a number of variables. Even while the majority of individuals are resilient, those who are exposed to unfavorable conditions, such as poverty, violence, handicap, and inequality, are more at risk. Individual psychological and biological characteristics, such as emotional skills and heredity may also increase risk of mental disorders. Changes in brain structure and/or function have an impact on several risk and protective factors. Pakistan, like other nations, has responded to the present COVID-19 outbreak on all fronts, including public health, but a number of difficulties must be addressed. Pakistan's health-care system is poorly underfunded, and it does not meet the needs of people suffering from psychological disorders. There is a shortage of psychiatrists, and there is a significant gap between the demand for therapy and its supply. Even when assistance is provided, it is frequently of poor quality. People suffering from mental illnesses require social support, including assistance in forming and maintaining social, familial, and personal relationships. They also require aid with housing, employment, educational opportunities, and other enriching activities, for which specific institutions must be established.

Authors: Wang Betty , Broomfield Stacey , Medina Martín Anaïs , Albers Patrick , Fung Christopher , Kinnaird Adam
Published: December 2022

Introduction: High-resolution micro-ultrasound (microUS) is a novel imaging technique that may visualize clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), including those missed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in real-time during prostate biopsy.
Methods: From September 2021 to January 2022, 75 consecutive biopsy-naive men were entered into an observational cohort. All men underwent an MRI/microUS fusion prostate biopsy, completed by a single surgeon using the ExactVU device. At time of biopsy, each biopsy core was given a prostate risk identification using micro-ultrasound (PRI-MUS) score. Anonymized data were entered into a REDCap database. Cancer detection stratified by Prostate Imaging-Reporting & Data System (PI-RADS) and PRI-MUS score, and imaging modality was captured. Our primary outcome was the detection rate of csPCa in microUS-informed systematic biopsy cores, taken outside MRI-visible lesions, during MRI/microUS fusion prostate biopsy.
Results: A median of three MRI-targeted and 12 microUS-informed systematic cores were taken per patient. MRI/microUS biopsy detected PCa in 84%, with csPCa detected in 52%. Of the 900 microUS-informed systematic cores, 105 cores were PRI-MUS ≥3 and 795 cores were PRI-MUS ≤2. csPCa was detected in 35% of the PRI-MUS ≥3 cores compared to 10% of the PRI-MUS ≤2 cores (p<0.0001). Detection of csPCa varied by core type: 8% of patients were diagnosed by MRI-targeted cores only, 38% were diagnosed by microUS-informed systematic cores only, and 54% were diagnosed by both.
Conclusions: MicroUS-informed systematic biopsy may be a useful adjunct to MRI, with PRI-MUS ≥3 systematic cores having a 3.5-fold increased risk of csPCa compared to PRI-MUS ≤2 cores.

Authors: Bain Alexandra , Lavoie Callum , Rodriguez Lopez Sara , Kiddoo Darcie
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Posterior urethral valves (PUVs) is a congenital condition in which an obstruction in the urethra prevents drainage of urine from the bladder in males, with up to 60% of children diagnosed developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary aim of this study was to identify novel factors that may predict development of CKD and end-stage real disease (ESRD) in children with PUVs to potentially address modifiable factors and delay progression. The secondary aim was to compare rates of catheterization and incontinence between our patients and other case series to provide information to parents about long-term bladder outcomes.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study was performed of all children referred to our multidisciplinary clinic for PUV diagnosis between 2005 and 2019. Univariable associations of different variables with the composite outcome CKD or ESRD were evaluated.
Results: Thirty of 46 patients (65%) developed CKD, with the majority (40%) being stage 2 CKD (n=12). Seven of 30 patients (23%) developed ESRD requiring renal replacement therapy. Fourteen of 26 (30%) required clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) initiation with a median CIC initiation age of 4.3 years. Creatinine nadir post-valve ablation, oligohydramnios, and initiation of CIC are significant predictors in developing CKD.
Conclusions: This review reiterates that children born with PUVs have a high morbidity rate, with a high proportion developing CKD. Using a multidisciplinary approach to PUV patient care allows for better family education, early intervention of bladder dysfunction, and possibly better long-term preservation of renal function.
Employee-ownership: Exploring the Potentials of Practicing a Democratic Ideal
Authors: Hansen Anne Vorre , Jørgensen Andreas Pinstrup
Published: December 2022

The recurrent focus on democratic organisations moves beyond ideological framings and employs a broader focus on democracy and employee-ownership as foundation for more resilient businesses, increased work-life satisfaction and as potential for democratizing labour and economy. However, there is in general a lack of qualitative studies that widens the understanding of such democratic organizations, and the inherent tensions and dilemmas of such, at a micro-level. Based on a qualitative case study across Italy, Spain and Denmark, this article explores and reveal the interplay between how employee-owners experience democratic organizing as practice, and how this is related to ideas of the good work-life and ideals that reach beyond the workplace itself. These findings lay the ground for discussing employee-ownership as a possible way to alter current perceptions and understandings of, not only what a business is and can be, but also of how to democratically organize for a sustainable future.

Published: December 2022

In the last 30 years, we often hear about the computer aided design method with the help of the developments in adapting the innovations in the field of computer to the field of design. This method is divided into two sub-methods as forward and reverse. In this study, two methods were applied and compared for a combine harvester part used in the agriculture field. In the reverse engineering method, part was scanned with the laser scanner and the resulting point clouds were made into a mesh structure. These network structures have been improved and optimized with the necessary steps. Then the solid model was created with optimized mesh. In the forward engineering method, a 1/1 scale solid model of the part was created with the help of a caliper. The accuracy analysis of the solid model created with the network model was performed and the deviations from the real values were calculated and interpreted. At the end of the study, the three-dimensional models created by both methods were compared morphologically and the results were evaluated. The average accuracy value between the two models was calculated as 98.24%.

Authors: Montesdeoca de la Fuenteq Manuel
Published: December 2022

La custodia del territorio es un instrumento de protección del medio ambiente que es todavía reciente en España, a pesar de que goza de una larga tradición en otros países. Su finalidad esencial es la de lograr la adhesión voluntaria de los propietarios a las concretas estrategias de conservación diseñadas por unas especiales organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, denominadas entidades de custodia. Las actuaciones de conservación se desarrollan a través de muy variados acuerdos y compromisos, sometidos básicamente al Derecho Privado. No obstante, la importancia del Derecho Público es creciente, a medida que las Administraciones también se implican en las estrategias de custodia. En todo caso, el fortalecimiento de la institución exige proporcionar ventajas jurídicas y económicas a los propietarios, como, por ejemplo, la creación de mercados de servicios ambientales.

Published: December 2022

The cob is the residue generated from the separation of the grain from the cob, and due to its components, it is considered a lignocellulosic material, so its use is limited, which favors the burning of the cob and its spreading, thus generating a problem of environmental pollution. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when supplied in adequate amounts, provide a beneficial effect to the host, reducing the carbohydrate content in lignocellulosic materials through fermentation, obtaining a product rich in nutrients. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the kinetic parameters of biotransformation of corn residues through the fermentative action of the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus. Anaerobic fermentation kinetics were performed using the bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus at different concentrations (10 and 15% v/v) to obtain kinetic parameters of microbial growth and substrate consumption for the biotransformation of white corn (Zea MaysL.) residues. The kinetic parameters indicate that when using 15% inoculum, the bacteria adapt to a greater extent to the substrate since the Ks value was 0.5693 g/L and the adaptation time was 18.25 h, thus allowing the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus and therefore the process of biotransformation of corn residues. While for the consumption of substrate, it was identified that the use of 10% inoculum was better since it presented a value of k of 0.2534 that is higher than the value obtained when 15% is used because the rate of substrate consumption is faster. Therefore, the dose of 15% inoculum seems to be the most suitable for the adaptation of the bacteria in the shortest time and therefore the biotransformation process is carried out.

Published: December 2022

Pharmacists have an important role within the healthcare system. They can offer some services to the patients including consultation, patient education and therapeutic management. Community pharmacists can assess the type and severity of pain, monitor treatment and guide medication regulation to improve the treatment of the pain. The involvement of pharmacists in nonprescription medication counseling about pain will increase the public’s ability to understand the risks and benefits of over-the-counter drugs.
Aim and objects was to study and analyze professional abilities and role of pharmacy employees during the pain management. The survey was conducted among 285 employees of licensed pharmacies in Armenia with the help of questionnaires, the number of which was determined according to “The Survey System Version 11.0”. Survey data were entered and analyzed using SPSS software package. The study was quantitative investigation and the questionnaire was developed based on the World Health Organization standard questionnaire. As a result of our research, it became clear that pharmacists have pure, indistinct knowledge about adverse reactions of over-the-counter analgesics and pharmacy employees in the Republic of Armenia have incomplete knowledge and ideas about pain management. According to the study pharmacists’ information sources was not reliable and the use of these sources in professional pharmaceutical practice were not inappropriate. Involvement of pharmacists in primary care pain management is very important and pain management training of pharmacy staffs should be encouraged.
Pharmacist should be a part of a multidisciplinary pain management team and for this reason comprehensive information on pain management as well as development of practical skills should be included in continuing education programs for pharmacists.

Published: December 2022

Antimicrobial resistance is a global concern threatening the whole world. Antimicrobial resistance pathogens cause more than two million illnesses and nearly 23000 deaths per year in the United States. аntimicrobial resistance is linked to roughly 25,000 fatalities per year in Europe. The economic effects of аntimicrobial resistance are significant, with an estimated $20 billion in extra medical spending in the United States each year. This leads to necessity for development of novel antimicrobial agents from various sources. Ocimum tenuiflorum is a popular plant with several biological properties. The present study focuses on investigating the antibacterial potential of the compounds present in Ocimum tenuiflorum by in silico techniques. Initially, compounds were screened for druglikeness analysis based on Lipinski rule of five (RO5). Molecular docking was performed against bacterial DNA gyrase and ligand interactions on the binding sites of the target protein was examined. PASS prediction for antibacterial activity was determined. From the analysis of 22 compounds, we identified four compounds showing higher binding energies, binding site interaction, druglikeness and PASS property. Thus, the compounds Apigenin, Gardenin B, Isothymusin and Cirsilineol can be used for treatment of multidrug resistance bacterial infections.

Authors: Gooneratne  , Jayasinghe
Published: December 2022

Working capital management is one of the crucial factors in shaping the financial performance of firms while ensuring their existence and growth. The study aims to investigate the determining factors of working capital requirements in the Sri Lankan context. The study was conducted using secondary data, manually collected from a sample of 37 firms listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange over a six-year period from 2013/14-2018/19. The working capital requirement has been proxied through the working capital ratio as the dependent variable of the study whereas firm-specific and macroeconomic determinants were taken as the independent variables. Profitability, Cash conversion cycle, Leverage, Tobin’s Q, Firm size, and Altman Z-score have been used as firm-specific determinants and the GDP growth rate, Interest rate, and Inflation has been considered as the macroeconomic determinants of the study. Initially, summary statistics were obtained for the sample along with the diagnostic tests of normality and multicollinearity. The regression models were specified to test the hypotheses developed for the study where the analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results were obtained by carrying out the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression method as an overall and specific analysis. Results of the overall analysis indicated that all firm-related variables except firm size have a significant relationship with the working capital requirements.
