Authors: Alfikhairina Jamil  , Hanson E. Kusuma  , Angela Upitya Paramitasari
Published: September 2022

Penelitian mengenai penghematan energi selama ini masih terfokus kepada penghematan yang dilakukan pada tingkat rumah tangga. Namun, faktanya adalah, bangunan komersil, terutama bangunan perkantoran adalah salah satu pengguna energi terbesar di dunia. Oleh sebab itu, permasalahan mengenai penghematan energi di kantor seharusnya lebih diperhatikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan dimensi kesadaran dan perilaku yang berhubungan dengan penghematan energi di kantor. Hasil dari dimensi ini juga bertujuan untuk dijadikan landasan apabila sebuah bangunan ingin menerapkan intervensi untuk membantu mengurangi penggunaan energi. Pada penelitian ini, dibahas mengenai dimensi kesadaran dan perilaku pekerja terhadap penghematan energi di kantor. Kesadaran pada penelitian ini lebih merujuk kepada motivasi dan alasan seseorang mengapa melakukan atau tidak melakukan kegiatan penghematan energi, dan perilaku adalah hal yang dilakukan dan dibutuhkan yang berkaitan dengan penghematan energi itu sendiri. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner daring dengan metode non-random sampling dengan teknik snow-ball. Analisis data pada pendekatan ini menggunakan analisis komponen prinsip dan analisis faktor. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan pada 10 kelompok kesadaran, yaitu ‘Sadar akan Penghematan’, ‘Pencegah’, ‘Perbaikan lingkungan’, ‘Penghematan di rumah’,’ Keuangan’, ‘Penghematan di kantor’, ‘Moral’, ‘Sumber dana dan biaya’, ‘Sumber energi’, dan ‘Kewajiban’. Sedangkan pada kelompok perilaku ada lima kelompok, yaitu ‘Konektivitas’, ‘Kebutuhan listrik’, ‘Ketergantungan energi’, ‘Kebutuhan energi’, dan ‘Alat elektronik’.

Published: September 2022

Background: We aimed to evaluate the duration and severity of symptoms experienced by Health care workers (HCWs) after receiving first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and to compare these symptoms with respect to age, gender, previous infection with COVID-19 and history of allergies.
Methods: Data for this cross-sectional analytical study was collected using simple random sampling by filling a proforma after detailed in person interview of the selected HCWs of Rawalpindi Medical University between May 2021 to September 2021. However, those HCWs who had co-morbidities were excluded from the study.
Results: A total of 350 participants were interviewed and data was analyzed by SPSS 25. Out of 350 participants 205 (58.6%) experienced symptom after receiving the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Most common symptom was local pain at injection site (58%). Other symptoms include fatigue(41.5%) ,myalgia(33.2%) ,low grade fever (28.8%), headache(26.8%) ,high grade fever(6.3%),joint pain(7.8%), Giddiness(5.4%), sore throat(5.9%),nausea (4.9%), diarrhea(2%) ,constipation(1.5%), insomnia(1%), allergic rash(1.5%).Women were likely to experience more symptoms as well as earlier onset of symptoms. Older age was related to late appearance and longer duration of symptoms. People who have earlier been infected with COVID-19 were likely to experience more severe symptoms. Those having previous history of any allergies were more likely to experience post-vaccination symptoms. All these results were statistically significant with p value less than 0.05.
Conclusion: Two-thirds of healthcare professionals who completed the survey reported mild and short- lived symptoms. These symptoms are the local and systemic manifestations of immunogenicity and reactogenicity of vaccines.

Published: September 2022

Background: This qualitative exploratory study explores smokers’ perspectives regarding smoking cessation processes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Purposive sampling was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with cigarette smokers visiting cardiac and pulmonary clinics at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Thematic analysis was performed to identify themes from the participants’ responses.
Results: Three themes emerged from the thematic analysis. These were smoking cessation facilitators, smoking cessation barriers, and COVID-19 impacts on smoking cessation. Awareness and education, threat of acquiring health problems, religious beliefs and family or support system behave as smoking cessation facilitators. While, role modeling, associating smoking to stress relief, and cigarette dependency were major barriers to smoking cessation or prevention. There were mixed perceptions regarding association of cigarette smoking and COVID-19. However, some of the participants shared feelings of fear for being vulnerable to COVID-19 and its complications.
Conclusion: The findings of this study generated significant recommendations for providing effective and optimal smoking cessation interventions such as not missing the teachable moment for smoking cessation counselling, anti-smoking smoking efforts from religious perspectives, and strict implementation of anti-smoking regulations in the country.

Can Obesity be Considered as Risk Factor to Ovarian Cancer? A Review
Authors: Alvi Qurratulann , Baloch Gul Muhammad , Khalil Faiza , Chinna Karuthan
Published: September 2022

Ovarian cancer is the most fatal gynecologic cancers and is an important source of cancer-related mortality, particularly in developed countries. Epidemiological studies have shown that the risk of ovarian cancer associated with body mass index obesity and overweight differs across different geographical distributions. Obesity and the possibility of ovarian cancer have been widely studied, but findings have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of this review study is to investigate the association of obesity, overweight and body mass index with ovarian cancer. The relevant search of databases was conducted, including Medline, Springer, NCBI, PubMed, Cancer organizations, WHO reports and Cancer statistics. Due to broad scope of the research questions a narrative review approach was undertaken. All studies that assessed the relation between obesity leading to ovarian cancer and obesity as risk factor for ovarian cancer were selected for review. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was found to be increasing worldwide. Obesity and overweight are believed to be related with psychological, and social problems along with other health problems. These conditions are needed to be monitored and controlled more effectively both in developed and underdeveloped countries. There is a lack of data on the relationship between obesity and ovarian cancer from low-income countries due to scarcity of resources and low awareness levels. As a result, further research is required to better understand the biological pathways underlying the connection between obesity and ovarian cancer.

Published: September 2022

Background: Dental care workers including dental assistant & doctors are at joint risk of receiving infection. Cross infection can be defined as “the spread of infection between staff members & patients in clinical setting.” Precautions should be adopted while treating or checking the patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study of 3 months duration was carried on dental house officers of Multan Medical and dental college Multan. 60 dental house officers willingly participated in our study.  Universal sampling technique was utilized in order to collect the data. Informed consent was sign up from the partakers.
Results: Out of sixty dental house officers, males were twenty seven while females were thirty three . 85% participants consider that dental clinics/hospitals are more predisposed to the infection/contamination than other medical fields. 73.3% partakers wash the hands regularly after providing the treatment to every patient. All the partakers reported that usage of PPE has a foremost part in the prevention of cross contamination. Majority of the partakers use gloves as well as facemask but goggles or protective eyewear, head caps & aprons were not in use by most of participants.
Conclusion: Adequate awareness/knowledge but less satisfactory practice about infection control was reported. Knowledge acquired must also be transferred into everyday practice. Continuous infection control education through lectures/ tutorials or seminars must be organized. Cross-contamination control guidelines should also be established by dental colleges.

It is a gram-negative, micro-aerophilic, spiral (helical) bacterium usually found in the stomach. H. pylori infection is one of the most common and chronic bacterial infection, affecting approximately half of the world's population. Peptic ulcer disease, gastric ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer all are linked to H. pylori. There are various diagnostic procedures to detect H. pylori infection and the choice of one approach over another is based on a number of considerations including accessibility, benefits and drawbacks of each method, cost, and the age of the patients. When H. pylori infection is diagnosed, doctor determines the therapy on the basis of patient's clinical status. Generally, eradication of H. pylori is recommended for treatment and prevention of the infection. In most of the cases H. pylori infections are cured with triple therapy. Moreover, quadruple therapies, sequential therapies and concomitant therapies have been developed as major alternative options to treat H. pylori infection. In this review pathophysiology, prevalence, transmission, clinical sign & symptoms, risk factors, and diagnostic techniques used to detect H. pylori infection as well as H. pylori eradication therapy regimens are discussed.

The Compound Cultural Identity of Lin Yutang and his Intercultural Communication of Chinese Ethnic Culture
Authors: SUN Yihe
Published: September 2022

This paper analyzes the construction of Lin Yutang's compound cultural identity and the strategies employed in his English translation of Chinese culture with Lin Yutang's literary translations as the case. Lin Yutang prides himself on mastering both Chinese and western cultures. With his Chinese and western cultural backgrounds, he promoted the spreading of Chinese culture around the world. On the one hand, he maintains the characteristics of the source text, thereby introducing Chinese thinking to enhance the influence of traditional Chinese culture. On the other hand, in the face of cultural differences in translation and the needs of readers, he, as the main body of the translation process, must be responsible for readers who used western culture to interpret Chinese thoughts or change the forms of the source text. In translation, Lin Yutang flexibly used two cultural identities to construct a unique compound cultural identity, with Chinese as the center and western as the media, to introduce the Chinese culture to the world.

Published: September 2022

Cowpea farmers in sub-Saharan Africa obtain low yields; sole cropping system with the use of improved technologies can yield 1,500-2,000 kg/ha of cowpea. However, 200-500 kg/ha yield is obtained by smallholder farmers. It is a multipurpose crop and despite its importance, high level of inefficiency in its production persists. Therefore, the determinants of efficiency in cowpea production were analyzed; the decline in cowpea yield in the study area was attributable to several socioeconomic variables. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 70 cowpea farmers from the study area. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier production function were the analytical techniques adopted. The results indicated that the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents significantly affected cowpea production. The mean technical efficiency index was 0.59. Furthermore, the stochastic frontier analysis revealed that coefficients of farm size (0.297), labour (0.394), quantity of seed (0.433) and agrochemicals (0.057) were all positive and statistically significant. Also, the inefficiency model revealed that the coefficients of household size (-0.284), education (-0.493) farm experience (-0.402), extension contact (-0.45) and access to credit (-0.255) were negative but statistically significant Thus, the significant variables were the determinants of technical efficiency in cowpea production. The identified constraints adversely affected farm productivity and efficiency. Formation of cooperatives, adoption of measures that improve access to agricultural credit, agro-services centers, input supply, technology transfer and subsidies; extension services, information exchanges and  market linkages are recommended to mitigate technical inefficiency in cowpea production among smallholder farmers.

Патології, що пов’язані або супроводжуються болем і запаленням, є одними з найрозповсюдженіших. Сьогодні немає аналгетика та протизапального препарату, який би оптимально задовольняв вимоги клініки щодо ефективності та/чи безпеки. Тому пошук нових препаратів даної групи, що переважають за своїми властивостями сучасні аналоги, важливий та актуальний. Останніми роками в плані пошуку нових знеболюючих та/чи протизапальних засобів значний інтерес викликають похідні азуленів, для яких показана антиексудативна та антиноцицептивна активність.

Мета дослідження – синтез і вивчення антиноцицептивної активності нових похідних 1-(фено ксиметил)-4-(R-феніл)-5,6,7,8-тетрагідро-2,2a,8a-триазациклопента[cd]азулену. Було здійснено синтез похідних 1-(феноксиметил)-4-(R-феніл)-5,6,7,8-тетрагідро-2,2a,8aтриазациклопента[cd]азулену, їхню структуру підтверджено ПМР-спектрами. Первинну оцінку аналгетичної та протизапальної активності нових похідних 1-(феноксиметил)-4-(Rфеніл)-5,6,7,8-тетрагідро-2,2a,8a-триазациклопента[cd]азулену проводили на моделях «Оцтовокислі корчі» та «Карагеніновий набряк», використовуючи як препарати порівняння диклофенак натрію («Карагеніновий набряк») та кеторолак («Оцтовокислі корчі»). Досліджувані сполуки вводили внутрішньошлунково в дозі 25 мг/кг у вигляді водно-спиртової емульсії з використанням Твін-80 як емульгатора. Статистичну обробку даних проводили з використанням параметричних методів статистики (t-test). Показано, що похідним 1-(феноксиметил)-4-(R-феніл)-5,6,7,8-тетрагідро-2,2a,8a-триазациклопента[cd]азулену, за виключенням сполуки 4 f (R = p-F-), притаманна виражена антиноцицептивна активність, яка близька або переважає таку кеторолаку. Найактивніші сполуки 4 а (R = Н), 4 c (R = Et) і 4 е (R = EtO) переважають за ефективністю референтний препарат кеторолак. Таким чином, сполукам ряду притаманний периферичний компонент антиноцицептивної дії. Досліджувані сполуки не виявляють антиексудативну активність. Враховуючи, що модель «Карагеніновий набряк» характеризує циклооксигеназну ланку запалення, можна припустити, що ці сполуки не інгібують ЦОГ.

Мета дослідження – вивчити вміст гідроксипроліну в печінці й нирках, оцінити його зв’язок з сироватковим вмістом TGF-b та IGF-1 за хронічного токсичного гепатиту (індукованого тетрахлорметаном й етанолом) та корекції лізиноприлом і L-аргініном L-глутаматом (препарат порівняння). Дослідження виконані на 48 білих нелінійних щурах-самицях віком 1,5 місяця з масою тіла 60–80 г. Тварини були поділені на чотири групи: 1 група – інтактні щурі; 2 група – тварини з хронічним токсичним гепатитом, який моделювали шляхом інтрагастрального введення 20 % олійного розчину тетрахлорметану в дозі 0,1 мл/100 г маси двічі на тиждень у комбінації з 5 % розчином етанолу протягом 8 тижнів; 3 група – тварини з хронічним токсичним гепатитом, які протягом 8 тижнів отримували лікування лізиноприлом (20 мг/кг/добу, інтрагастрально); 4 група – тварини з хронічним токсичним гепатитом, які отримували лікування препаратом порівняння L-аргініном L-глутаматом (35 мг/ кг/добу, інтрагастрально). У сироватці крові визначали вміст трансформуючого фактора росту бета (TGF-b) та інсуліноподібного фактора росту 1 (IGF-1) імуноферментними методами. У постядерних супернатантах гомогенатів печінки та нирок визначали вміст вільного гідроксипроліну за реакцією з пара-диметиламінобензальдегідом. Хронічний токсичний гепатит супроводжувався порушеннями обміну колагену та розвитком фіброзу печінки й нирок, про що свідчило зростання вмісту вільного гідроксипроліну відповідно на 52,7 і 39,2 % (p < 0,05) у печінці та нирках щурів порівняно з показниками контрольної групи. Реєструвалось також вірогідне збільшення вмісту TGF-b та IGF-1 у сироватці крові відповідно на 13,5 і 13,7 % порівняно з контролем. За цих умов рівні TGF-b та IGF-1 у сироватці крові корелювали з вмістом вільного гідроксипроліну в печінці та нирках (r = 0,62–0,82, p < 0,05). Застосування лізиноприлу за хронічного токсичного гепатиту виявляло антифіброгенну дію в печінці та нирках (вміст вільного гідроксипроліну в печінці та нирках на 23,2 і 24,7 % менший порівняно з нелікованими тваринами, p < 0,05), яка перевищувала таку в препарату порівняння L-аргініну L-глутамату. Антифіброгенна дія лізиноприлу асоціювалась з достовірним зниженням сироваткових рівнів TGF-b та IGF-1 відповідно на 54,1 і 12,1 % (p < 0,05) порівняно з нелікованими тваринами (r = 0,58–0,78, p < 0,05). Отримані дані дозволяють рекомендувати застосування лізиноприлу з метою профілактики фіброзу печінки та нирок за хронічного токсичного гепатиту.

Останнім часом проводяться дослідження по створенню назальних форм, які можуть використовуватись для транспортування активно діючих сполук системної дії. Сьогодні розроблені назальні форми з наркотичними і ненаркотичними аналгетиками, гормональними препаратами, вакцинами, препаратами серцево-судинної дії. Розробка нової рідкої назальної форми з активних фармацевтичних інгредієнтів (АФІ) для системного використання повинна враховувати біологічні, фізико-хімічні та технологічні фактори, які, імовірно, будуть впливати на транспортування АФІ через ніс до мозку. При створенні назальної форми адемолу було використане програмне забезпечення у вигляді експертної системи ExpSys Nasalia (nasalia.zsmu.zp.ua), запропоновано додати до складу рецептури пластифікатор, мукоадгезивний засіб і консервант. З метою комплексного вивчення сумісності інгредієнтів у назальній формі проведені in silico, а також експериментальні термогравіметричні дослідження. Отримані дані комплексних моделей машинного навчання, які відповідно до високих показників Score в більшості випадків свідчать про сумісність інгредієнтів і можливість їхнього поєднання в одній рецептурі назального лікарського засобу. Термогравіметричні дослідження проведені на приладі дериватограф – Shimadzu DTG-60 (Японія) з платиново-платинородієвою термопарою при нагріванні зразків в алюмінієвих тиглях (від 15 до 250 °С). Як еталонну субстанцію використовували α-Al2O3. Швидкість нагрівання складала 10 °С за хвилину. Вивчали окремі інгредієнти – АФІ: адемол; допоміжні речовини: гліцерин, гідроксиетилцелюлозу, бензалконію хлорид; готову назальну лікарську форму без діючої речовини та лікарську форму з адемолом. Характер наявних теплових ефектів на дериватограмі рідкої назальної форми з адемолом співпадають з тепловими ефектами окремих допоміжних компонентів основи, що, у свою чергу, підтверджує відсутність взаємодії компонентів між собою.
