Bestselling Young Adult fiction: trends, genres and readership
Authors: Beckton Denise
Published: August 2021

Australia is not immune to the universal, and seemingly exponential, growing appeal of

bestselling Young Adult fiction. The 2015 Sydney Writers’ Festival, for instance,

staged three separate events to reflect the rising popularity of this genre of writing,

showcasing successful Australian authors as both panel members and facilitators of

discussion related to issues facing the category. While debate touched on familiar

points of contention such as the appropriateness and advocacy of content marketed as

Young Adult fiction and for young adult readers, discussion centred on the growing

appeal Young Adult fiction has for readers, writers, publishers and film-makers. This

article extends discourse relating to international bestselling Young Adult fiction and

provides research that, in scholarly terms, has eluded significant inquiry thus far. In

examining this appeal, this article questions how increased stakeholder involvement is

impacting patterns of readership, content, and genre trends within this category of

Young Adult fiction. While the degree of change is not measured quantitatively, this

research pinpoints strategies and behaviours exhibited by invested groups and

institutions, which are affecting change. This builds on work by Heather Scutter and

Sue Page, and references Anthony Eaton, who identifies that changing conceptions of

young adulthood, in terms of sophistication, is defining how Young Adult fiction is

shaped by those who create, produce and consume it (Eaton 2010).

Published: August 2021

En este artículo se desarrollará la explicación del retorno de las corrientes de fuga causadas por fallas a tierra basadas en nuestra investigación, hacia el sistema de distribución secundaria. En Lima el sistema de protección a tierra usa el esquema IT, que consta de puestas a tierra en las masas de utilización independientes a la del transformador, líneas vivas enterradas y un neutro aislado o flotante. Aunado a ello el transformador cuenta con 4 bushings predeterminados, de los cuales solo están conectados 3 de ellos (líneas vivas), el cuarto bushing no está distribuido. Por ello nuestra hipótesis pretenderá explicar este retorno de corrientes de defecto mediante la equipotencialidad del suelo, el empleo de circuitos secuenciales simétricos para el defecto entre el transformador que conlleva un tratamiento de las capacitancias parásitas teniendo en cuenta que, naturalmente, la corriente de falla no podría viajar por conexiones entre tomas de tierra o un neutro distribuido, ya que son inexistentes en este sistema.

Authors: Tampubolon Lydia Theresia , Lindarto Dharma , Syafril Santi
Published: August 2021

Background: HIV/AIDS is an immunodeficiency disease with CD4 T lymphocytes as the main target. Although antiretroviral therapy has increased life expectancy of HIV patients, its adverse effect, lipodystrophy, causes a decrease in leptin production by adipose tissue and reduce leptin effect on T lymphocytes’ stimulation. Previous studies had examined the correlation between leptin levels and CD4 count, although the results were inconclusive. This study aims to assess the association between leptin levels and CD4 count in HIV patients receiving HAART.
Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted at the outpatient clinic of Tropical and Infectious Disease Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan between April and July 2020. Correlation between variables were assessed through Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlations. Data were analyzed using the SPPS program where p <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: A total of 40 HIV patients were analyzed. The mean age of the subjects were 33.62 ± 7.61 years. The mean leptin levels were 1198.97 ± 832.47 ng/mL and the mean CD4 count was 330.55 ± 163.98 cells/mm3. There were no significant differences in leptin levels between HIV stage III and IV (1067.71 ± 902.39 vs. 1090.80 ± 1185.74, p = 0.961). No significant differences were found between CD4 count and HIV clinical stage (392.34 ± 164.70 vs. 339.0 ± 177.46, p = 0.904). There was a significant association between leptin levels and CD4 count in HIV patients receiving HAART (r = 0.351, p = 0.026).
Conclusion: Leptin levels were significantly correlated with CD4 count in HIV patients receiving HAART.

Evidence Based Skin Care in Preterm Neonates- A Short Review
Authors: Kaur Sumandeep , Sidhu Navdeep S
Published: August 2021

Preterm neonates are the neonates born alive before completion of 37 weeks of gestation. Prematurity is the real threat for survival of these neonates, especially those who are very-preterm (less than 32 weeks). In developing countries due to lack of basic care such as maintenance of warm chain, breast feeding support, infection control and scarcity of resources to tackle respiratory difficulties; the mortality in preterm infants is very high. Good skin care is a critical component of the basic neonatal care, that can directly reduce complications of prematurity as well address issues arising during the handling of these preterm infants such as injuries due to adhesives or devices, skin dryness, the use of skin emollients and disinfectants etc. In contemporary era, evidence-based practices are the need of hour to guide clinical practice. There are limited research articles dealing with skin care in preterm neonates that offer strong recommendations for skin care modalities. In this short review, the authors have compiled the recent evidences to address various issues related to skin care in very preterm neonates. In this article the evidences related to bathing practices in preterm infants, and the use of disinfectants and emollients for premature skin care has been discussed; besides making general recommendation related to skin care in preterm infants.

Keywords: Preterm, skin care, emollients, disinfectant, neonate, prematurity, premature skin.
ECHOs of Medication Non-Adherence in Hypertensive Patients: A Systematic Review
Authors: S Satish , Rose Agnes Jain
Published: August 2021

Globally, hypertension has been one of the most common diseases. Although there has been improvement in the blood pressure control with the use of antihypertensive drugs, poor adherence to medications is still a problem. This has caused economic, clinical and humanistic outcomes (ECHOs) resulting in severe health crisis. This includes worsening of present disease condition, increase in co morbid diseases, increase in health care costs and ultimately death.
This systematic review has broadened the scope of knowledge by providing valuable input into the development of clinical, economic and humanistic framework to standardize the consequences of medication non-adherence with the ECHOs. Literature documents the multiple adverse clinical consequences of medication non-adherence. It is also associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular events including vascular stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy, micro albuminuria, acute coronary syndromes, stroke and transient ischemic attack and chronic heart failure ultimately leading to death. Humanistic outcomes were evaluated by measuring the symptomatic and functional status and quality of life. Economic outcomes were mainly affected by hospital related costs, productivity costs, social welfare costs, personal costs, cost to the family and friends and other associated costs.

Keywords: Hypertension, Medication non-adherence, Clinical outcomes, Economic outcomes, Humanistic outcomes.

Effects of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health
Authors: Karim Hassan
Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic and social consequences have significantly affected the mental health of the individuals.1Nevertheless, related literature on the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health is scarce.2 Moreover, COVID-19 pandemic has profound effects on public mental health and their routine activities. Anxiety, sleep disturbance and overall lower perceived state of health are among some of the adverse effects.3 It has been reported that health organizations across the globe are working in coordination to cope with the mental health issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.4 The mental state of individuals vary based on their health, profession and status.5
Most importantly, mental health issues are common in quarantined and self-isolated individuals. It might be due to loneliness, fear of death and separation from their family members.6 Similarly, children, who have less interaction with their school friends on daily basis, may suffer from psychological problems. Additionally, separation from parents and friends can cause grief in children. They may encounter distress, anxiety, and loneliness; all of which affects their psychological health.7
Elderly people are highly susceptible to the COVID-19 outbreak as they are already prone to autoimmune, neurovascular, cardiovascular and psychological disorders. Social isolation among the elderly may cause irritating and shouting behaviour and emotional anger.8 Health care professionals are at the forefront of the battle to tackle the COVID-19. Therefore, fear of getting infection, extended work shifts, dealing with COVID-19 patients, inaccessibility to COVID-19 medicine, deaths of their colleagues at line of work, exposure to COVID-19, self-isolation, and keeping distance from friends and family can adversely affect their mental health.2
In general, individuals who recover from COVID-19 disease may face social stigma and get emotional disturbance. Each of us have a different attitude towards people who recovered from COVID-19. Health care workers who try to save people’s lives and limit the spread of COVID-19 can also face stigmatization for potentially being carriers of the COVID-19.2
The COVID-19 is a world problem, so concrete efforts are needed to address this pandemic at a global level. In the case of Pakistan, it is the responsibility of the Pakistani government to implement effective strategies to fight the Covid-19, as per the guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Perempuan dan laki-laki mempunyai derajat yang sama dalam Islam, namun pada kenyataannya pandangan masyarakat terhadap perempuan terjadi ketimpangan yang sering merugikan, khususnya dalam pembagian peran dalam keluarga. Sehingga perlu adanya sebuah kajian khusus untuk mendekonstruksi pemahaman negatif yang terbangun di masyarakat terhadap perempuan. Peneliti melakukan analisis mendalam terkait dua hal; pertama, mengkaji kedudukan laki-laki dan perempuan dalam perspektif Hukum Islam. Kedua, konstruksi sosial terhadap perempuan dalam Hukum Keluarga Islam dengan analisis gender. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif. Penelitian ini juga dilengkapi dengan pendekatan berupa literatur Hukum Keluarga Islam dan Analisis Gender untuk menjawab permasalahan yang diangkat dalam artikel ini. Metode pengumpulan data diperoleh melalui telaah literatur terkait dengan konstruksi sosial terhadap perempuan dalam Hukum Keluarga Islam. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa Islam mempunyai konsep kesetaraan yang adil dalam memandang kedudukan laki-laki dan perempuan. Konstruksi sosial yang muncul di masyarakat disebabkan oleh kesalahpahaman terhadap penafsiran ayat Alqur’an secara tekstual, sehingga perlu adanya pemahaman secara komprehensif dan kontekstual terhadap ayat Alqur’an untuk memberi edukasi kepada masyarakat.

Ghost Homes
Authors: Gramich Eluned
Published: August 2021

‘Ghost Homes’ explores the evolving sense of community in a village in rural West Wales, deeply affected by the pandemic. It looks critically at the linguistic and cultural tensions between English holidaymakers and Welsh inhabitants. Using Welsh-English code-switching, it tells the story of a mother and son on the outskirts of Cardigan, navigating illness alongside the isolating pressures of lockdown, highlighting the limitations as well as support of ‘community’. Welsh-speaking Judy is alone at the height of the pandemic, suffering from debilitating back pain. She relies on her middle-aged son, Will, with whom she has a strained relationship. The short story shows the fragile nature of ‘community’ in rural places, especially in West Wales where seaside villages have been bought up as second homes for wealthy English families and, during the pandemic, became ghost towns for the few (often elderly) individuals who continued to live there.
Evaluating Socially Engaged Practices in Art: The Autonomy of Artists and Artworks in Community Collaborations
Authors: Matthews Harry , Moorehouse Aaron
Published: August 2021

Issues concerning socially engaged practice, autonomy, and narrative in art are introduced alongside Claire Bishop’s critique of relational art. A conceptual framework from the community arts, the ‘Collaborative Stories Spiral’, is presented as a non-hierarchical platform for communities to develop individual and collective narratives. The framework is amended and applied to a reading of composer Brona Martin’s project Sowing Seeds, emphasising the reflective and expressive capabilities of the artist and their artwork. The article seeks to provide a necessary stimulus for better understanding how socially engaged practice may be discussed and evaluated in the community.
Optimum condition of manufacturing hybrid particleboard from mixture of cocoa pod husk and bamboo particles
Authors: Tang Hong T. K.
Published: August 2021

This study was to investigate the feasibility of using cocoa pod husks (CPH) and bamboo in manufacturing hybrid particle board. Three-layer experimental particleboards from mixture of bamboo and CPH participles were manufactured using different surface to core layer ratios (30, 40 and 50%) and various UF ratios for surface layer (6, 8 and 10%) and for core layer (4, 6 and 8%). Modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond strength (IB) and thickness swelling (TS) properties of the boards were evaluated based on Standard TCVN7756:2007 Test Methods for general purpose used in dry conditions. The results showed that boards in all ratios of surface to core layer investigated could be manufactured using up till 8% UF resin for surface layer and up till 6% UF resin for core layer without falling below the minimum Standard VN7754:2007. The optimal condition was the surface to core layer ratio of 30% used with 9.51% UF resin for surface layer and 7.45% UF resin for core layer obtaining the lowest thickness swelling (TS) 11.13%. The highest values of MOR and IB were 15.25 MPa and 0.45 MPa, respectively. This study demonstrates that cocoa pod husks and bamboo waste can be an alternative raw material source for particleboard production.

Ecological planning for the conservation and development of pineapple (Ananas comosus) in Tan Phuoc district, Tien Giang province
Authors: Nguyen Mai T.
Published: August 2021

Land assessment is a specific requirement for the land use. Land assessment results provide the information on land types and natural conditions (land map units) so that we can evaluate the suitability of the land area for agricultural and non-agricultural use. In agriculture, appropriate crops for the land area are usually designed based on the land assessment data. Ecological planning is a process of assessment, evaluation, and decision in order to help authorities design the ideal, appropriate land area and land arrangement for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes. Tan Phuoc district in Tien Giang province is a low and alluvial agricultural area of Dong Thap Muoi. In this area, the income of local people depends majorly on agricultural activities. Pineapple (Ananas cosmosus) with its high economic value is widely cultivated in Tan Phuoc and has an important impact on the income of local people. Nevertheless, most of the land area currently used for pineapple production in Tan Phuoc was the land area previously used for cultivation of other crops. Due to this poor land resource planning, the yield of pineapple was low, and the land and environment were polluted. An adequate land assessment for Tan Phuoc is therefore highly needed so that an ecological planning for pineapple would be properly to improve the yield of pineapple, conserve the environment and support the sustainable development in Tan Phuoc.

Authors: Sulaiman Airat
Published: August 2021

The efficacy of religion as an integral part of mainstream counselling is widely reported in the literature but its efficacy in fostering harmony between religions, which is the focus of this paper is yet to be reported. It is proposed that appropriate application of ASERVIC competencies along with specific religious – Christianity and Islam – therapeutic skills and techniques in counselling will result into religious harmony in Nigeria. Hence, a counselling model that will foster religious tolerance, encourage unity, enhance effective integrative religious counselling, and promote worthwhile decision making was outlined.

Introduction : La maladie parodontale (MP) est une maladie inflammatoire complexe qui détruit les tissus de soutien de la dent (parodonte) avec une étiologie multifactorielle elle a été liée au diabète, aux obstructions chroniques des voies respiratoires, aux maladies rénales chroniques, aux syndromes métaboliques, à certains types de cancers, la polyarthrite rhumatoïde et aux maladies cardiovasculaires. Les maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV) constituent un ensemble de troubles affectant le cœur et les vaisseaux sanguins, leur cause la plus courante est l'athérosclérose, qui correspond à un remaniement pathologique de la paroi interne des artères de gros et moyen calibres par accumulation de lipides, glucides complexes, éléments sanguins et dépôts calcaires, formant des plaques d'athérosclérose. Ainsi, l'objectif de cette revue de la littérature est de déterminer la relation entre les maladies parodontales et les maladies cardiovasculaires. Matériels et Méthodes : Pour ce travail une stratégie de recherche documentaire électronique a été réalisée dans 2 bases de données dont Pub Med et Google scholar. Ainsi 423 articles traitant la relation entre les maladies parodontales et les maladies cardiovasculaires publiés en anglais ou en français avec texte intégral dans la période allant de 1989 à 2016 ont été sélectionnés. Les titres et résumés des articles retrouvés grâce à la stratégie de recherche ont été passés en revue. Les articles qui n'étaient pas pertinents pour une inclusion ont été écartés dès ce stade. Les données recueillies ont subi une analyse après mise en œuvre des critères d'inclusions : Etudes réalisées chez les humains et rédigées en anglais ou en français et publiés entre 1989 à 2016. Les articles inclus étaient ceux après lecture des titres, des résumés jugés pertinents dont 35 articles traitant la relation entre les maladies parodontales et les Maladies Cardiovasculaires ont été sélectionnés. Résultat : Au total 35 articles traitant la relation entre les maladies parodontales et les Maladies cardiovasculaires ont été sélectionnés compte tenu de leurs cohérence et pertinence. La limite a été la consultation que de 2 bases de données. Les bactériémies associées aux parodontites sont responsables d'une activation de la réponse immuno-inflammatoire favorisant la formation, la maturation et la complication des plaques d'athérome. Il existe un risque accru de MCV chez les patients atteints de parodontite chronique, indépendamment des autres facteurs de risques cardiovasculaires. Le traitement parodontal réduit le niveau d'inflammation systémique et améliore la fonction endothéliale, mais ne modifie pas la dyslipidémie. Conclusion : avec une étiologie infectieuse pour les maladies et divers pour les maladies cardiovasculaires, un lien a été établi entre les deux maladies dans diverses études épidémiologiques et cliniques mais toutes fois reste controverse dans d'autre.

Introduction : La pyélonéphrite emphysémateuse est une infection nécrotique du rein caractérisée par la présence de gaz au sein du parenchyme rénal, des cavités excrétrices ou des espaces péri-rénaux. Objectif : Notre propos est de montrer l'efficacité du traitement médical, surtout au stade précoce de l'affection. Observation : Nous rapportons un cas de pyélonéphrite emphysémateuse chez une femme de 60 ans, diabétique, dont l'évolution a été favorable sous antibiotique sans en avoir recours à la chirurgie. Commentaire : Décrite pour la première fois en 1898, la pyélonéphrite emphysémateuse est une infection grave engageant le pronostic vital. Affection rare, survenant préférentiellement sur terrain diabétique, est liée au développement de germes anaérobies. Elle peut se compliquer d'un choc septique et d'une défaillance multi viscérale. La tomodensitométrie est l'examen de référence qui permet le diagnostic positif par la présence de gaz au sein du parenchyme rénal, des cavités excrétrices ou des espaces péri-rénaux. Les attitudes thérapeutiques divergent entre traitement chirurgical, drainage percutané et traitement conservateur. Conclusion : Cette observation illustre la place du traitement médical au stade précoce de la maladie.

Entre la tecnología y la libertad: desafíos de ayer y de hoy
Authors: Sturla Cecilia E.
Published: August 2021

En su libro El hombre unidimensional, escrito en 1964, Marcuse cuestionala posibilidad de la libertad en una sociedad dominada por losmedios de comunicación masiva, o mass media, según su expresiónmás usual. Una sociedad satisfecha tanto en su estilo de vida como ensu organización termina dejando de lado la crítica que toda sociedadnecesita para avanzar. Si los macrodatos —conocidos más comúnmentecomo big data— hacen superfluos los razonamientos porque todoestá contenido en la red, el hombre termina siendo el resultado de unalgoritmo manejado por quienes venden esos datos al mejor postor:sea a los gobiernos o a las empresas públicas o privadas. El control dela población no surge entonces de un esquema político-económico,sino de uno más abarcativo aún: la tecnología crea necesidades parael consumo y dentro del consumo se encuentra el tiempo libre que esdominado a través de la web y de los programas «à la carte».
