Published: September 2023

Introduction: The knowledge and attitude of a doctor towards shisha and tobacco cessation counseling goes a long way in achieving a successful quit for smokers. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the knowledge of doctors in Nigeria, using Kebbi State as a case study, on shisha and also exploring their attitudes and willingness towards clinical tobacco cessation counseling of shisha smokers.

Methods: This study was a questionnaire-based survey of 78 doctors in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 software.

Results: Only 63 (80.8%) of the respondents were aware of shisha. Among these 63 respondents that were aware of shisha, 4.8% of them were shisha smokers, 46.0% knew that shisha smoking can lead to periodontal disorder, 65.1% agreed that shisha smoking is a gateway to the use of other tobacco products, and 53.2% had had an encounter with a shisha smoker, of which only 63.6% of them (i.e. those 33 respondents who had the encounter) engaged themselves in a discussion on smoking cessation with the encountered shisha smokers. The majority of the surveyed doctors, irrespective of their age, gender, specialization, departmental affiliation, years of practice and shisha smoking history, were positively disposed towards clinical counseling of shisha smokers on tobacco cessation.

Discussion: This study shows that the surveyed doctors are positively disposed towards counseling their shisha-smoking patients on the importance of tobacco cessation; despite their inadequate knowledge on shisha.

Conclusion: Clinical counseling on tobacco cessation among shisha smokers should be encouraged in Nigeria.

The Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) is a factor that plays an important role in hospital services. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to the implementation of SMK3 in the Inpatient Room of Sultan Abdul Aziz Syah Hospital, East Aceh Regency. The variables of this study are independent and dependent variables, where independent variables consist of knowledge, work environment, K3RS commitment, and K3RS supervision as well as dependent variables, namely the implementation of SMK3. The study was quantitative and cross-sectional with a population of 139 nurses and a large sample of 58 nurses taken by stratified random sampling technique. The data processed is in the form of primary data using questionnaires that are shared with nurses. Statistical tests were carried out using chi-square to find out the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results of statistical tests with a significance level of 5% (? = 0.05) showed that there was a meaningful relationship between the variables of knowledge, work environment, the commitment of K3RS, and K3RS supervision with the variables of SMK3 implementation with a p-value obtained from each variable < 0.05. The implementation of SMK3 at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Regional Hospital, East Aceh Regency, was included in the bad category of 27.6%. This shows that the implementation of SMK3 in the hospital has not been carried out properly. From the questions asked to nurses through questionnaires, there are several questions where the average nurse gives the lowest score on the questions for implementing SMK3, including in the use of PPE, attending seminars/training in the field of K3, attending K3 training, health checks, checking work environment conditions and supervising work environment conditions.

Alejandra Pizarnik o leer lo visible y contemplar lo legible
Authors: Galiazo Evelyn
Published: September 2023

Alejandra Pizarnik fue una observadora extraordinaria. Su apuesta formal se inscribe en una tradición radicalmente visual y transgresora que se interroga –como uno de los personajes de Los poseídos entre lilas– sobre “el don de la mirada”. Los experimentos dadaístas, las reflexiones de Breton en torno a la pintura y los textos de Bataille sobre el ojo dejaron huellas en sus escritos. Pero sus imágenes poéticas –a las que llamaba “visiones”, siguiendo una consigna de Rimbaud– se inspiran también en las figuras híbridas de El Bosco, los Caprichos de Goya, la automutilación de Van Gogh, los dibujos mezcalianos de Michaux y la violencia de los manuscritos de Artaud. Además de una estética perturbadora, Pizarnik toma herramientas y técnicas de estos artistas. Las páginas siguientes intentan explorar su laboratorio de escritura como atelier y sala de montaje, exponiendo los materiales con los que elabora su obra y los principios constructivos de su poética. La operación teórica que lleva a cabo Pizarnik en el campo de la imagen permite comprender la plasticidad de una escritura que se despliega en un continuo deslizamiento entre dos lenguajes.

Geoff Hancock (Department of Natural History, Glasgow Museums and GaUeries, Kelvin grove, Glasgow) writes; 'Edward Jacob, surgeon, naturalist and antiquarian, is a fairly weU known pre- Linnaean Kentish botanist. He published two major works, Plantae Favershamienses (1777) and the History of the Town and Port of Faversham (1774). In trying to trace his plant specimens it has been noted that Jacob more than dabbled in geology and obviously had the wide interests typical of a gentleman of his day. Ten plant specimens coUected by Jacob between 1724 and 1739 are in the Bolton Museum herbarium. These are classified using Ray's Synopsis nomenclature and Jacob persisted in using this system even in his flora of Faversham, although he...

Published: September 2023

Auchenorrhyncha species represent a significant group of insects inhabiting vineyards. Insect vectors of phytoplasmic diseases of grapevine attract particular attention. From 2018 to 2020, studies of the leafhopper fauna were conducted in industrial plantations of grapevines located in the central zone of the Republic of Moldova. Insect collecting was done with an entomological net and with yellow, sticky traps. The identification of leafhoppers was carried out using determinants according to morphological features. The presence of phytoplasma Bois noir in leafhoppers was determined by PCR molecular analysis. During the research process, 1733 leafhopper specimens were collected and 15 species were identified. As a result of testing 77 insect samples, two new vectors were identified in the grapevine plantations of the Republic of Moldova: Anaceratagallia ribauti (Ossiannilsson) and Reptalus quinquecostatus (Dufour), as well as the well-known vector of phytoplasma Bois noir: Hyalesthes obsoletus. Vector leafhoppers in vineyards and reservoir host plants represent a high risk of spread of phytoplasma disease Bois noir in the Republic of Moldova.

The agricultural land market, as a specific element of the real estate market, was reestablished in the Republic of Moldova by the end of the last century. During the development of the national agricultural land market, there were different fluctuation trends of the main indicators, which reflect the quantitative aspects of land development: the correlation between demand and supply, market price of agricultural land, sold-purchased land areas, etc. The most important indicator is the market price of agricultural land, which, under the conditions of free land market, is formed based on the correlation between supply and demand for land. The sale-purchase type of business predominates in the transaction structure of the land market. In this context, in order to investigate the issues related to the functioning of the agricultural land market, the number of sale-purchase transactions of agricultural land, the area of agricultural land subject to sale, as well as the average sale-purchase price of agricultural land have been analyzed.
Computer Vision Based AutoML Platform

Published: September 2023

The rapid increase in data production, thanks to technological developments and scientific research, leads to the development of Machine Learning (ML) and similar new data analysis tools. It was announced that Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud service provider, stored 500EB of data in 2021 [1]. ML is an alternative to traditional engineering methods and does not require field knowledge of the problem to obtain a solution. However, the implementation of ML Algorithms can be complex depending on the content of the data set, and expert knowledge is the most important factor to use these algorithms effectively. Various methods have been developed to find a solution to this problem. There are many different areas and problems that machine learning can be applied to. We have limited our research to problems that can be solved using computer vision and AutoML. We have used AutoML and computer vision-based solutions to solve object classification, detection and segmentation problems. Our goal is to develop a platform that will work without the intervention of any expert. Users can load their datasets, choose the method they want, and train their models according to the problem they choose without any other intervention. After the training process is over, they can use their models in real time by transferring them over the platform in real time with their own hardware.

Een veilige en gezonde werkplek als fundamenteel mensenrecht

In 2022 voegde de algemene vergadering van de ILO het recht op een veilige en gezonde werkplek toe aan de fundamenteel erkende arbeidsverdragen, de core labour conventions. Daarmee staat dit recht op gelijke voet met de alom ook buiten de ILO erkende mensenrechten zoals het verbod op dwang- en kinderarbeid en op discriminatie en het recht op vrijheid van vakvereniging en collectief onderhandelen. Dit artikel beschrijft welke gevolgen die keuze heeft voor de lidstaten van de ILO met betrekking tot de doorwerking en de toepassing van het toezichtmechanisme, welke consequenties dat heeft voor de Nederlandse wetgever en welke voornemens de huidige (demissionaire) regering heeft uitgesproken met betrekking tot ratificatie van deze verdragen.

This work aimed to study the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) composited films by electrostatic spray deposition for use in fabricated humidity sensors. The physical properties of prepared films were examined with X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. Subsequently, a humidity sensor was fabricated using a low-cost interdigitated electrode pattern with the print circuit board. The humidity sensing behaviors were assessed with fixed humidity levels in a saturated aqueous salt solution in the humidity range of 11 – 93%RH. The impedance value of the device was obtained with a precision LCR meter. It was found that the composited film of 0.50 %wt. GO demonstrated the highest humidity response with optimized humidity sensitivity, hysteresis error, and response/recovery times of 2.68 ´ 103, 4.89%, and 228/19 s, respectively. Moreover, the equivalent circuits for the prepared device at various humidity levels were acquired with impedance spectroscopy to propose the mechanism for the humidity sensing of the device.

Published: September 2023

The configuration of the vibro-spouted bed  dryer resembles that of a conventional spouted bed, but the circulation of the particles is controlled by a vertical imposed. As consequence, all the bed flows in a dense phase regime and the air velocity inside the bed is defined according to drying requirements alone. A dryer used in this study consists of a cylindrical chamber with a conical bottom (diameter 145 mm, height 390 mm) equipped with a perforated mobile base, which vibrated at a defined amplitude and frequency. Potato cubes consisting of 5 and 10 mm edges were dried and the behavior of the particles during drying was phenomenologically studied. Shrinkage of potato cubes during drying adequately fit the uniform drying model up to a moisture content of 0.9 kg water/kg dry potato. During the drying of cubes with 5 and 10 mm edges, cracks appear on the faces of the cubes. Fornell's modified model, denoted a good fit to the experimental points, and allowed the generation of characteristic drying curves both at the vary the temperature as the speed of the drying air, useful for computational modeling.

A litíase renal é o termo médico para denominar a presença de cálculos renais formados pela agregação de cristais e matéria orgânica no sistema urinário. É uma das doenças mais comuns, ocorrendo em pelo menos 13% dos homens e 7% das mulheres ao longo da vida com recorrência de taxas de até 50% no mundo. A identificação dos cálculos renais vem se tornando um aliado imprescindível para a investigação laboratorial que comumente é composta por vários exames bioquímicos complementares que podem sugerir o tipo e a origem do cálculo, tal técnica oferece facilidade, rapidez, e segurança nos resultados contribuindo para a profilaxia do paciente. O objetivo deste trabalho baseou-se na identificação química e física de dois cálculos renais. A metodologia aplicada é dividida em duas etapas: a análise física e análise química no qual descreve todas as características físicas do cálculo renal e qualifica determinados cristais urinários que formaram esse cálculo renal, através dos métodos de Kamlet e Feigl que foram adaptados, e disponível em kits de reagentes do laboratório Bioclin®. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios sendo que ambas as amostras utilizadas eram fisicamente diferentes, no entanto foram encontrados os mesmos tipos de cristais urinários nas duas amostras, ambos são cristais de oxalato de cálcio, entretanto, a amostra B apresenta ácido úrico em sua composição, evidenciando assim a importância desta metodologia ser inserida com frequência no diagnóstico laboratorial da litíase renal como meio de prevenção de recidivas da doença melhorando a qualidade de vida do paciente, oferecendo segurança e rapidez no diagnóstico.

O uso contínuo de defensivos sintéticos no controle de doenças vegetais faz com que alguns microorganismos adquiram resistência aos princípios ativos. Ademais, com a polurização dos efeitos negativos do uso indiscriminado de defensivos no meio ambiente e na saúde do consumidor tem incentivado a busca por práticas agrícolas mais sustentáveis. As fitopatologias transmitidas por órgãos de propagação vegetativa representam um desafio na produção sustentável de alimentos, sendo o uso de sementes sadias a medida mais eficaz para o controle da disseminação de fitopatógenos e da contaminação de novas áreas. O controle alternativo dessas doenças a partir de óleos essenciais extraídos de plantas medicinais tem sido cada vez mais explorado. Além de apresentarem  fungitóxicidade cientificamente comprovada por diversos estudos, tais subtâncias apresentam amplo espectro de ação e são de fácil acesso aos agricultores. Diante da importância do tema, a presente revisão bibliográfica visa agrupar informações sobre a utilização de óleos essenciais no tratamento sanitário de sementes.

A influência das alterações dermatológicas relacionadas à menopausa no bem-estar da mulher é um tópico de grande importância, pois afeta a saúde física e psicológica das mulheres durante esta fase de transição de suas vidas. Explorar as várias alterações cutâneas que ocorrem durante a menopausa e seu impacto no bem-estar das mulheres. Este estudo explorou o impacto das mudanças dermatológicas da menopausa na vida das mulheres. Fontes confiáveis foram selecionadas em bases como PubMed, Google Scholar e Scopus, com palavras-chave específicas. Foram aplicados critérios rigorosos de inclusão/exclusão para escolher estudos relevantes, privilegiando qualidade metodológica e resultados significativos. Dados extraídos revelaram manifestações cutâneas, tratamentos e efeitos psicossociais. Análise aprofundada dos dados revelou tendências e lacunas no conhecimento. A estrutura organizada do trabalho abordou múltiplas dimensões do impacto, culminando em discussões críticas e conclusões destacando implicações práticas e limitações. Destacou-se que as alterações cutâneas relacionadas à menopausa, como afinamento, ressecamento, enrugamento, flacidez e perda de fibras de colágeno e elastina, são comuns e podem ter efeitos prejudiciais no bem-estar físico e psicológico das mulheres. O equívoco sobre os efeitos da terapia hormonal da menopausa (THM) levou ao declínio de seu uso, impactando negativamente o bem-estar das mulheres. É crucial reconhecer que essas alterações na pele não são atribuídas apenas à idade cronológica, mas principalmente devido à deficiência de estrogênio. A terapia de reposição hormonal mostrou-se promissora na reversão da pele com deficiência de estrogênio e na prevenção da perda de colágeno. No entanto, preocupações sobre possíveis problemas cardiovasculares levaram a uma mudança nas atitudes em relação ao uso de MHT. A conclusão do trabalho ressaltou a relevância dos cuidados dermatológicos durante a menopausa e delineou possíveis direções para pesquisas futuras, visando a um melhor entendimento e manejo das alterações dermatológicas nesse contexto específico.

Objective: In order to develop effective interventions and policies to address the growing trend of dual tobacco and e-cigarette use among Malaysia's younger generation, it is crucial to understand the socio-demographic factors that influence this behaviour. This study aimed to bridge this knowledge gap by examining the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and smoking status among university students in the Klang Valley region of Malaysia.

 

Method: The researchers used a cross-sectional field survey approach to collect data through a questionnaire administered to 386 university students in the Klang Valley region of Malaysia. The selected universities included Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Malaya (UM), and Sunway University, providing a diverse representation of the country's young population.

 

Results: The findings highlight the complex nature of factors influencing smoking behaviours, revealing that socio-demographic variables have a limited impact on an individual's smoking status. However, gender emerged as a notable exception, strongly associated with smoking status. This suggests that gender dynamics may play a significant role in shaping tobacco and e-cigarette use among students. Furthermore, the study identified additional influences, such as peer pressure, accessibility of tobacco products, and perceptions towards smoking, which are likely to affect smoking behaviours. Although these aspects were not the primary focus of the study, their importance is evident.

 

Conclusions: The study provides valuable information that can help policymakers, health professionals, and educators develop effective strategies to reduce smoking among young Malaysians. However, it also highlights the need for further research to better understand the complex factors involved in smoking and to develop more effective interventions to reduce smoking among university students.

 

Research Implications: The study's findings can guide the development of targeted interventions, educational campaigns, and policies aimed at reducing tobacco and e-cigarette use among university students. The strong association between gender and smoking status may also guide tailored interventions for different gender groups.

 

Originality/value: The originality of this study lies in its focused investigation of socio-demographic factors influencing dual tobacco and e-cigarette use among university students in Malaysia. The research not only reveals the limited influence of socio-demographic variables but also highlights the significance of gender and other unexplored factors, providing a nuanced understanding of smoking behaviours within this specific context.

Landfill mining is an innovative way to minimize environmental pollution, secure land and airspace, and recover secondary raw materials from landfills. The study examined the characteristics of landfilled waste at the Kumasi landfill and its potential for resource recovery. Samples were collected based on the deposition age and characterized in the laboratory. Characteristics determined were composition, volatile solids, moisture content, and heavy metal concentrations. The results indicated that the most significant recoverable resources were Decomposed Organic Materials (organic waste mixed with sand and papers) and combustibles (plastics, wood, and textile), constituting 44 % and 36 % by weight, respectively. The composition of the landfill waste was found to be influenced by the components of waste initially disposed at the landfill and its subsequent age of deposition. The metal content concentration was, however, independent of the age of deposition. The results indicate that a landfill mining project at the Kumasi landfill will make available about 89 % of the landfill volume and airspace for reuse. However, the DOMs recovered may not be suitable for application as compost on agricultural soils due to the high zinc concentrations unless applied to zinc-deficient soils. It may, however, be used as construction material in earthworks and as cover materials at landfill sites. The combustible component can be combusted to generate heat for producing hot water for hospitals, hotels, and old age care facilities.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between preoperative mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) values and postoperative drainage amounts in coronary artery bypass grafting operations without cardiopulmonary bypass support. Patients and methods: One hundred three patients (78 males, 25 females; mean age: 62.8±10.0 years; range, 40 to 85 years) who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery between December 2015 and May 2018 were included in the retrospective study. Results: There was a negative and insignificant relationship between preoperative MPV values and postoperative drainage (p=0.223, r=-0.121). There was a positive and insignificant relationship between preoperative PDW values and postoperative drainage (p=0.167, r=0.137). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, PDW and MPV values did not correlate with postoperative bleeding in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Published: September 2023

The outbreak of Covid-19 has caused a global health crisis, presenting numerous challenges to the healthcare system with its severe respiratory symptoms and variable presentation. Early and accurate diagnosis of the virus is critical in controlling its spread and reducing the burden on healthcare facilities. To address this issue and relieve the strain on the healthcare system, this paper proposes a machine learning-based approach for Covid-19 diagnosis. Four algorithms were used for analyzing early Covid-19 detection, i.e., logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, and naive Bayes, using a data set of basic symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, etc. for predicting positive and negative Covid-19 cases. Furthermore, development of a web portal that provides information on global vaccine distribution and the most widely used vaccines by country along with Covid-19 predictions. Our evaluation results demonstrate that the decision tree model outperformed the other models, achieving an accuracy of 97.69%. This study provides a practical solution to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis through an improved diagnosis method and access to vaccination information.

Authors: Ikechukwu A. Okafor Godson
Published: September 2023

The study examined the relationship between intellectual capital investment and corporate sustainability growth. Intellectual capital investment was proxy using human capital investment (HCI), relational capital investment (RCI) and structural capital investment (SCI) while corporate sustainability growth was measured using corporate sustainability growth rate (CSGR). Ex post facto design was adopted and data for this study was collected from the annual reports and accounts of the selected industrial goods firms listed on the floors of Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) for the period of 2016-2022. Panel Least squares model was used in the data analysis and the results of the study show a significant and positive relationship between human capital investment, relational capital investment, structural capital investment and sustainability growth of industrial goods firms in Nigeria at 1% significant level. The study therefore concludes that intellectual capital investment ensures corporate sustainability growth. Thus, the study recommends that manufacturing firms in Nigeria should improve on human capital investment as any negative changes in human capital investment will impact the sustainable growth of the firm. They should also invest on relational and structural capital as it can improve their competitiveness and bottom line

Este artigo examina a literatura corrente sobre a influência da nutrição parenteral na recuperação de pacientes internados em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs). A nutrição parenteral é uma intervenção dietética comum em UTIs que envolve a administração intravenosa de nutrientes, contornando o trato gastrointestinal, uma prática especialmente relevante quando a alimentação oral ou enteral não é viável ou suficiente. Neste contexto, as demandas nutricionais desses pacientes são complexas, resultantes da gravidade da doença subjacente e do estresse metabólico resultante do tratamento intensivo. Através de uma análise meticulosa da literatura existente, esta revisão busca identificar e sintetizar dados empíricos que elucidem a relação entre a nutrição parenteral e os resultados dos pacientes em UTIs. As evidências coletadas até o momento indicam que a nutrição parenteral pode influenciar positivamente os resultados clínicos, contribuindo para a redução do tempo de internação, melhoria da qualidade de vida e prevenção da desnutrição em pacientes críticos.
