Determination of Platelet Count Estimation Factor on Peripheral Blood Smear Confirmation Using Field Number 22 Microscope
Authors: Atmanto Y. Kusumo Adi Arji , Abdullah Agus Alim , Muhadi Darwati , Arif Mansyur
Published: February 2023

The automatic platelet count sometimes requires confirmation on the peripheral blood smear. Platelet count estimation can also be used for reporting platelet count if an automatic cell counter is not available, with an estimation factor according to the Field Number (FN) of the microscope used. This study aimed to determine the platelet count estimation factor based on peripheral blood smear confirmation using an FN 22 microscope. An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in patients who had routine hematological and peripheral blood smear examinations during September 2021 by determination of platelet count using the automatic cell counter method and an average number of platelet counts per field of view with 100x objective magnification. The estimation factor is the total ratio divided by sample size. The total ratio of 254 samples was 4.086. The platelet count estimation factor was 16, indicating that 1 platelet per field of view was equivalent to 16x103/µL. There was a very strong significant correlation between mean platelet count per field of view and platelet count using the automatic cell counter (p<0.001, R>0.750). The field number is the image diameter of the microscope eyepiece. The latest generations of microscope use FN 20 or more, which provides a wider field of view, enabling the observation of more platelets. Factor estimation was used to determine the estimated platelet count on a peripheral blood smear. A big difference between automatic cell counter and peripheral blood smear might indicate pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic errors. The platelet count estimation factor based on peripheral blood smear confirmation using the FN 22 microscope was 16. Each laboratory needs to determine the estimation factor according to the FN microscope used.

Published: February 2023

Any individual infected by COVID-19 can suffer various degrees of disease such as asymptomatic symptoms, mild, moderate or severe. Response to the antibody formation in the human body can be affected by the severity of COVID-19. Many researchers have stated that patients suffering a severe COVID-19 had a more significant antibody response, proven by higher antibody titers than those suffering mild or moderate severity. This research aimed to observe the different antibody responses in COVID-19 patients based on the severity of the disease. The research was a retrospective study with a cross-sectional design. The inclusion criteria were confirmed SARS-COV-2 patients determined by RT-PCR test results with age â‰¥18 years old and a complete medical record taken from electronic medical records and Laboratory Information System (LIS). This study involved 100 COVID-19 patients consisting of 51% non-severe and 49% severe COVID-19. Patients in the non-severe group had a relatively lower IgM and IgG antibody response than patients in the severe group. It could be th primarily observed at the time of antibody measurement > 15 day of symptoms onset (p<0.05).
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Metabolic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Laboratory Approach
Authors: Mayasari Victoria Indah , Puspitasari Yessy
Published: February 2023

Both Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome are health problems worldwide. Various studies suggest that NAFLD and metabolic syndrome have a two-way relationship. Metabolic syndrome can be preceded by NAFLD and NAFLD can be a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Because of the relationship between the two, the diagnosis and management of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome are important to prevent complications such as cardiovascular disease, liver cirrhosis, and malignancy. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome can be made based on various diagnostic criteria determined by several health organizations, such as WHO, IDF, and NCEP-ATP. Since NAFLD is asymptomatic until advanced disease, many patients are only identified at advanced stages. Liver biopsy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing NASH, which is a type of NAFLD. This procedure is invasive, and many studies are currently looking for and assessing non-invasive markers for NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. Laboratory as diagnostic support plays an important role in the diagnosis of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. Non-invasive laboratory tests with high sensitivity and specificity are expected to contribute to the early diagnosis of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. Various laboratory parameters have been developed to support the diagnosis of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome.

Authors: Poratelli Francesca , Blanc Simone , Pippinato Liam , Zanchini Raffaele , Bruzzese Stefano , Brun Filippo
Published: February 2023

Forest certifications aim to promote sustainable forest management through the certification of forest products derived from forests managed according to a set of guidelines. However, managing a forest following the sustainability benchmarks indicated by the different certification systems has a higher cost than non-certified forests. This cost difference is therefore reflected in products made from these certified forests. An Environmentally Certified Timber Product (ECTP), in fact, should be more expensive than its identical competitor made from non-certified wood because of its higher management and chain of custody costs. The purpose of this review is to highlight how, over the past decade (2010–2020), customer willingness to pay (WTP) for ECTPs has been estimated and what parameters lead consumers to choose ECTPs. Results revealed several methodologies for estimating WTP, the main one being Contingent Valuation, although Discrete Choice Experiments would seem to be more effective. In monetary terms, the average WTP obtained ranges from 17% for products with a higher base price, such as furniture, up to 68% for those with a lower price, such as paper. Finally, several parameters drive consumers to choose ECTPs, such as socio-demographic factors, prior knowledge of brands and labels, and choice of product attributes.
Future directions of professional photographers: A case study of changing hats between journalism and humanitarian photography
Authors: Mäenpää Jenni
Published: February 2023

This article examines the professional values of self-employed photographers and other communication professionals who have worked for both journalism and humanitarian nongovernmental organisations (NGOs). These professionals face the current changes in the media work environment and expand their reach to different fields to find new work opportunities. The study focuses on the photographers’ motivations and professional values in addition to NGO–journalism relations. The findings show that pushing factors in the journalistic field, along with pulling factors in NGO work, motivate photographers to choose advocacy work. When photographers change from photojournalism to NGO photography, they must adhere to new professional values and ethics that mix with their existing values and which may occasionally contradict with photojournalistic working methods or the marketing and fundraising images at the NGOs, causing ethical dilemmas. Finally, photographers with a photojournalism background help NGOs gain news media publicity, yet they are rarely able to change the news agenda.

Published: February 2023

Pulsed UV light application has been a method used frequently in ensuring food safety recently. UV treatment is used in many areas including the food industry through UV treatment and high inactivation power. Pulsed UV light, which is an effective microbial inactivation method that takes place in a shorter time in solid and liquid foods, as it is accepted as an alternative to continuous UV light application, is a promising alternative to both chemical and thermal decontamination methods in the food industry. In this study, pulsed UV light was applied on ready-to-consumption packaged turkey salami samples. In order to ensure food safety and reduce consumer anxiety, the effect of pulsed UV light application of different time and distance on turkey salami slices contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes in equal thickness in order to use UV light was investigated. The effect of pulsed UV application on the microbial inactivation efficiency of the salami surface and the quality of the salami were evaluated. In pulsed UV light system, 3 different distances of quartz glass to samples will be 5-8-13 cm and sliced salami in 3 different periods of 15-30-60 sec. The results of the study showed that pulsed UV light method could be used effectively in inactivation against L. monocytogenes on the salami surface as an alternative to thermal and chemical methods. It was determined that L. monocytogenes inactivation increased as the distance to the quartz lamp decreased and the application time and total energy dose increased. The highest inactivation was obtained after 5 cm 60 sec pulsed UV light treatment.

Published: February 2023

Aim. To study the awareness of graduate pharmacy students with the concept of the “rational use of medicines” and related issues.
Materials and methods. A questionnaire survey of 172 graduate students was conducted at the National University of Pharmacy.
Results and discussion. Most students believe that they are clearly familiar with the concept of the “rational use of medicines”; 97.1 % of them know it from the disciplines they studied at the University. It has been found that students have both correct and erroneous ideas about the mandatory principles of the rational use of medicines; they are most aware of its clinical aspects. Not all signs of the irrational use of medicines are obvious for future pharmacists. Students possess certain skills that can be useful in promoting the rational use of medicines. However, not all acquired skills are in demand in the professional activities of pharmacists in Ukraine. 75.6% of respondents think their knowledge gained at the University is sufficient to promote the rational use of medicines. Only 48.3 % of respondents believe that Ukrainian pharmacists are sufficiently involved in promoting the rational use of medicines.
Conclusions. The study has revealed the lack of awareness of some pharmaceutical students about the concept and problem of the rational use of medicines, as well as the gap between the acquired skills and their demand in professional activities. Less than half of students rate the role of pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines at a sufficient level. Further research will be aimed at developing measures to improve the awareness of pharmacy students with the basic concepts of the rational use of medicines, as well as expanding the participation of Ukrainian pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines.

Authors: Honcharov I. V. , Vyshnevska L. I.
Published: February 2023

Aim. To study the historical aspects of soap making, technological stages and methods, the main chemical processes accompanying the soap formation, and the peculiarities of choosing components for its manufacture.
Materials and methods. Methods of information search, comparison and system analysis, and data generalization were used for research. Materials of scientific databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) were used.
Results and discussion. The use of soap as a hygiene product began long before our era and was successfully integrated into our daily life in accordance with the modern needs of humankind. Industrial production of liquid, solid and dry soap is currently established and widely scaled. However, the content of synthetic components makes it impossible to use such soap for therapeutic and preventive purposes. Small “home” soap factories use many natural components and even refuse to add preservatives, synthetic dyes and fragrances, but these are soaps for daily hygiene.
Conclusions. Therefore, the development of the composition and technology of soap for the complex treatment or prevention of dermatological diseases based on natural components is relevant.

Authors: Handoko Nanang
Published: February 2023

There are several factors that can affect employee performance, namely the work environment, leadership style and work motivation. The work environment is the conditions that exist around the workplace including aspects of temperature, lighting, air, sound and layout. Leadership style is one of the factors that can build a comfortable work environment. While work motivation is a condition that is formed from a sense of comfort in the work environment and leadership style so that employees are able to work well. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the work environment, leadership style and work motivation on employee performance. The method used is a quantitative descriptive analysis method. The results of the study show that all factors that can influence employee performance have a positive effect. The existence of this research is expected to be able to show that aligning employee performance factors needs to be continuously developed in order to be able to improve employee performance. Because when employees work well, the company will be younger in achieving its vision and mission.

Maxillary cemento-ossifying fibroma – A rare occurrence
Authors: Geetha R. , Pasupathy Sanjay , Ragupathy Karthik , Ganesh R.
Published: February 2023

Cemento-ossifying fibromas are benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that involves the jaws. These tumors are a rare group of mesodermal odontogenic tumors occurring in the maxilla. Most of the lesions are centrally within the jaw as a slow and progressively growing lesion. If left untreated, they achieve vast size with consequent malformation. Radiographically, they are presented as well-defined unilocular or multilocular intraosseous masses. They are less sensitive to radiotherapy and recurrences are unusual. A rare occurrence of cemento-ossifying fibroma of the anterior maxilla is noted in a 42-year-old male patient. Clinically, they manifested as a well-demarcated swelling in the right anterior region of the maxilla. Radiographic characteristics, histological, and surgical findings are enlisted and the several differential diagnoses are mentioned.

Galactosaemia is a group of autosomal recessive metabolic disorders characterised by increased blood levels of galactose. It is characterised by cataracts, organomegaly, sepsis and developmental delay. We are reporting a case of galactosaemia presenting as a neurodegenerative disease with a leukodystrophy-like presentation. An 11-month-old boy born to a second-degree consanguineously married couple presented with developmental delay, vomiting, lethargy and refusal of feeds. Examination showed normocephaly, cataract, hepatomegaly and spasticity in all limbs with exaggerated deep tendon reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was suggestive of diffuse hyperintensities in periventricular, subcortical and deep white matter on T2WI. Plasma galactose levels were high (3784.0 u M/L) and the RBC Galactose 1-Phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) enzyme was low (<0.04). Genetic testing showed homozygous missense mutation c.428C>T (p.Ser143Leu) in exon 5 of the GALT gene. For any child who presents with cataracts, hepatomegaly, developmental delay and leukodystrophy picture on an MRI of the brain, a treatable cause of galactosaemia should be considered.

The use of expired herbicides to suppress weeds growth is becoming prevalent among farmers. Hence the need to investigate and compare the effect of expired and non-expired pendimethalin and hand weeding on weed suppression, growth, yield and composition of groundnut. The experiment was carried out during therainy season in 2020. It consisted of seven weed control treatments. These were sole pendimethalin non-expired (T1), pendimethalin non-expired + one hand weeding at 6 weeks after sowing (T2), pendimethalin expired (T3), pendimethalin expired + one hand weeding at 6 WAS (T4), two hand weeding at 3 and 6 WAS (T5), weed free check (T6) and weedy check (T7). Desmodium trifolium, Amaranthus spinosusand Commelina benghalensis were the most preponderant weedspecies. Both expired or non-expired pendimethalin and their integration with one hand weeding reduced weed population than other treatments. Pendimethalin non-expired + one hand weeding at 6WAS and two hand weeding at 3 and 6 WAS significantly increased the growth parameters and yield when compared with other treatments. In this study, two hand weeding at 3 and 6 WAS and non-expired pendimethalin + one hand weeding 6 WAS, should be reinforced for weed control on account of their positive influence on groundnut productivity and seed quality.
Fast Full-Search Algorithm of Fractal Image Compression for Acceleration Image Processing
Authors: Abood Baydaa Sh. Z. , Akkar Hanan A. R. , Al-Safi Amean Sh.
Published: February 2023

A new processing algorithm based on fractal image compression is proposed for image processing efficiency. An image will partition into non-overlapping blocks called range blocks and overlapping blocks called domain blocks, with the domain blocks generally bigger than the range blocks, to achieve a rapid encoding time. This research introduced a new fast full-search algorithm approach that starts the search for the best matching domain in the range block from the closest points in the range blocks and expands the search until an acceptable match is found or the search is completed to save even more encoding time. The proposed fast full-search approach, despite its simplicity, is more efficient than the standard search method. The search reduction, peak signal to noise ratio, compression ratio, and encoding time of the suggested approach are all examined. The proposed method can encode a 512x512 grayscale Lena image in 0.36 seconds, with a total search reduction of  87% according to experimental results.

Authors: Абатуров М.А.
Published: February 2023

Рассмотрены особенности проявления алиасинговой помехи при цифровых измерениях электрохимического шума типа 1/f. Установлено, что такая помеха приводит к принципиальному искажению исходного спектра. Применение антиалиасингового фильтра с частотой среза на 10% ниже, чем частота Котельникова, надежно блокирует помеху и позволяет получить кривую спектра с высокой достоверностью в пределах статистического разброса. Проведенное рассмотрение имеет важное методическое значение при исследовании электрохимических шумов.

The features of aliasing interference in digital measurements of electrochemical noise 1/f-type are considered. It is established that such interference leads to a fundamental distortion of the original spectrum. The use of an antialiasing filter with a cutoff frequency 10% lower than the Kotelnikov frequency reliably blocks interference and allows you to obtain a spectrum curve with high reliability within the statistical spread. The conducted consideration is of great methodological importance in the study of electrochemical noises.
