Authors: Shevchenko O.S. , Pohorielova O.O.
Published: August 2021

Background. The quality of life of patients with tuberculosis is an important component of the treatment effectiveness.

Objective. To find the correlations between initial human-beta-defensin-1 (HBD-1) level and quality of life of patients during anti-tuberculosis therapy.

Materials and methods. 100 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were included in the study. The patients were diagnosed, treated and monitored according to current state protocols and World Health Organization guidelines. Additionally, the level if HBD-1 was measured in blood plasma by ELISA at the treatment onset. The patients were interviewed using SF-25 scale at the treatment inset, after 30 days and after 60 days. The parameters of physical functioning, role-physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional-role functioning, and mental health were assessed.

Results. We found correlations between the initial level of HBD-1 and quality of life parameters: physical functioning (-0.43), role-physical functioning (-0.34), bodily pain (-0.23), general health (-0.42), social functioning (-0.42), emotional-role functioning (-0.36); p<0.05. The obtained negative correlations indicate that a high initial level of HBD-1 is a predictor of lower quality of life during treatment.

Conclusions. An increase in the level of HBD-1 at the treatment onset can be considered a predictor of a decrease in the quality of life during treatment in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Authors: Amritha Viswanath Shenoy
Published: August 2021

In the beginning of the human rights discourse, emphasis was on civil and political rights. Later, the thrust of the discourse moved to social and economic rights. Economic rights were demanded by the developing world manifesting in the form of Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources and the New International Economic Order. Due to the untiring efforts of these members, economic rights are reflected, enunciated and promoted in the international human rights instruments created under the aegis of the UN. The OHCHR has an innovative approach towards the guaranteeing of economic rights. For instance, the Office has a human rights approach towards poverty alleviation. It also recognises different duty holders in promoting human rights like the Transnational Corporations apart from the governments and civil society in ensuring human rights (especially in the interlinkages on Business and Human Rights). These new approaches has transformed the promotion of economic rights. The question is whether the international economic order has benefited from the promotion and guaranteeing of the economic rights. The aim of the present article is to analyse the impact of UN efforts in promoting economic rights and its repercussions on the formation of a newer international economic order.

Indeed, Dhammathat has been used in the Ancient Burma. Moreover, a Burma Code related to the codification of Indian Common Law has been established in the country through the British colonisation. Since the independence of the country, the government continues to compile statutes law and case law on a year-by-year basis. Nowadays, codification can be used to solve legal uncertainty and conflict of laws in civil law such as family law, contract law and property law. Hence, Myanmar needs to modernise its civil law and could do it through a Civil Code. Therefore, this modernisation can be a great opportunity to achieve the legal, social and political unity in the country.

Asylum is granted to people in search for international protection from persecution or serious harm in their own country. The right to asylum for refugees in Malaysia is far from realization and in dire need of a practical solution. Due to the lack of a proper enactment of Asylum Act, asylum seekers are to deal with denial of basic rights. Asylum seekers are also denied of education and healthcare due to high cost since these are not provided by the government. This article discusses the need for a proper enactment of Asylum Act in Malaysia in relation to the rising numbers of asylum seekers and refugees in the country. In this research, a comparative analysis between Malaysia’s existing laws dealing with asylum and the law of Australia, United Kingdom, Indonesia, and European Union was carried out. It was found that these countries have developed their legal framework for asylum considerably and could legally accommodate the influx of refugees into their respective countries, in contrast to Malaysia’s increasingly poor management of the refugees and asylum-seekers. The study suggests the possibility for the adoption of recommended legal principles from those countries into the proposed Malaysian Asylum Act.

Masalah utama dalam pemberian ASI adalah yaitu berupa adanya Mitos/kepercayaan dan kebiasaan sebagian masyarakat dalam pemberian ASI. Adapun mitos/kepercayaan masyarakat bahwa payudara kecil dapat menyebabkan produksi ASI berkurang sedang kebiasaan masyarakat yang sering memberikan makanan/minuman lain selain ASI kepada bayi yakni madu dan kopi.. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali secara mendalam tentang mitos dan kepercayaan masyarkat dalam pemberian ASI di Kecamatan Bajeng. Metode penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan kuasi kualitatif yang merupakan penggunaan teori yang dimungkinkan sebagai alat peneliti dalam menemuka masalah pada masyarkat dalam memberikan ASI di Kecamatan Bajeng Kabupaten Gowa tahun 2020 dengan wawancara mendalam (indepth Interview) dan observasi secara terus menerus selama penelitian berlangsung. Hasil penelitian Menjukan bahwa menunjukan bahwa pemberian ASI tidak dilakukan secara langsung dan baik pada masyarakat kecamatan bajeng dikarenakan adanya kepercayaan yang ada pada masyarakat yakni mitos terkait ukuran payudara yang kecil dapat membuat produksi ASI berkurang sehingga pemberian ASI diganti dengan pemberian susu formula, sedangkan kebiasaan pada masyarkat yang memberikan makanan preakteal kepada bayi yakni madu dan kopi dengan alasan saran dari mertua atau tradisi keluarga sehingga pemberian makanan preaktel dilakukan, selain itu kurangnya percaya diri ibu dalam memberikan ASI dan kurangnya dukungan kelurga terhadap ibu sehingga pemberian ASI tidak dilakukan dengan baik. Di harapkan pada peneliti selanjutnya sebaiknya meneliti faktor lain mengenai pemberian ASI.
Improving the Temperature Sensitivity of Bitumen for Emergency Pavement Repair

The quality of asphalt pavement maintenance depends on several important factors, including the selection of patching materials and choice of repair technique. Conventional hot mix plants operate to support large paving projects, and economy favors high-volume output. When repairs and maintenance are needed it can be challenging to maintain small quantities of hot bituminous mixtures at a sufficient temperature, especially in the case of winter maintenance and consequently the repair materials cannot be compacted to the desired level in some occasions. The temperature sensitivity plays a significant factor to understand the asphalt pavement failures and indicates how quickly asphalt properties change over time in terms of indices such as penetration index. Therefore, this research aims to develop a polymer-modified binder with reduced temperature sensitivity, and it can be used for hand-laid application in small quantities for emergency winter repair and maintenance. The results showed that the highest penetration index has been achieved by modifying bitumen with 20% rubber and 2% wax, which is reduced the temperature sensitivity by 168%. Additionally, the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) test and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test were conducted to monitor the changes in the chemical composition and identify crystalline phases of polymer modified binder from the aspect of functional groups. It is indicated that the bitumen, rubber, and wax react chemically to build 3D networks that have an interlaced form in the bitumen matrix resulting in reduced temperature sensitivity of the polymer modified binder.
Autoregressive Distributed Lag model study of an alternative fuel, Liquefied Natural Gas, used on ships and its effect on the environment

The increase in global trade and manufacturing has caused an increase in ship transportation, from 16 % to about 90 %, of the number of goods transported internationally, and this has caused an increase in the consumption of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), which is the predominant fuel used in the maritime industry. The use of HFO not only affects the environment, but also affects the maintenance of a ship’s machinery. This work investigates the effect of an alternative fuel, Liquefied Natural Gas, on the environment and the maintenance of ship machinery. It employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to ascertain the impact of HFO consumption and natural gas consumption on the CO2 emission rate. It also reviews the works that have been done on the impact of alternative fuels on ship maintenance, the effect of HFO on the environment, and the maintenance cost periodicity of vessels. The result of the model shows that an increase in the consumption of HFO increases the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases more than when natural gas is used. Also, an increased HFO consumption increases the CO2 emission of both the current year and the next year as per the lags, whereas an increased LNG consumption reduces the CO2 emission of the current year and decreases the CO2 emission of the preceding year. The reviewed works indicate that the use of alternative fuels reduce the maintenance cost and the maintenance periodicity of a vessel. It also shows that the use of HFO affects the environment negatively.

Objective: To document the distribution of antimicrobial resistance patterns of community-acquired uropathogens. Materials and Methods: Outpatient microbiology data of urine culture results in Songklanagarind Hospital between January to December 2019 were reviewed. Results: This study included 649 episodes of positive urine cultures in 598 patients, in which 80.7% were symptomatic cases. The elderly (median 63 ± IQR 26 years) showed high prevalence of urinary tract infections in this study, for which nearly 80% of all samples were female. The three most common uropathogens identified were: Escherichia coli (E. coli) (69.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.5%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (4.9%). E. coli were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (49.0 %), cotrimoxazole (41.2%) and ceftriaxone (20.6%), but had a low level of resistance to fosfomycin (0%), and amikacin (0.4%). Conclusion: The antimicrobial resistance pattern of E. coli was high for commonly antimicrobial agents used in outpatients; especially quinolone, cotrimoxazole and cephalosporin. However, due to low resistance levels, fosfomycin and amikacin could be considered as effective treatment options for community acquired UTIs in our study.
