Authors: Aurelia Daisy , En Masrika Nur Upik , Rahman Ismail
Published: August 2024

Post-acute sequelae COVID-19 (PASC) symptoms are present in the vast majority of COVID-19 survivors, even those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Until now, vaccines against PASC are still controversial. Some previous findings suggest that vaccines can reduce or worsen PASC symptoms. In addition, there has been no related research in North Maluku Province, especially in Ternate City. This study aims to determine the relationship between vaccine administration and PASC based on the total dose and type of vaccine obtained using a questionnaire-based cross-sectional design questionnaire. The study population was COVID-19 patients diagnosed with RT-PCR or RDT-Ag in 2020–2022, domiciled in Ternate City. The respondents were 133 people. Bivariate analysis showed no effect of vaccine dose administration on the incidence of PASC (P=0.111). Similarly, the type and dose of vaccine based on the did not affect (first dose, P = 1.000), (second dose P = 0.732), and (booster P = 0.434) PASC. In terms of the timing of booster doses, pre- and post-COVID-19, there was no significant effect (P=0.384). However, there was a higher incidence of PASC in responders who received the booster dose post-COVID-19. There is no association between vaccine administration and the incidence of PASC.

Smoking will reduce the metabolism of vitamin d in the body. Indonesia, as a tropical country that has a high level of sun exposure, is one with a high prevalence of smokers. Early identification of vitamin D status can be used as a preventive measure for risks associated with vitamin D deficiency. This study aimed to determine the smoking behaviour with vitamin D status. This research was conducted in April -November 2021. The research design was cross-sectional, using purposive sampling method. Variable was smoker behaviour, vitamin D status, and vitamin D deficiency. The differences between vitamin D status and smoker behaviour in smoker and non-smoker group used chi-square test and the relationship used contingency coefficient. This study involved 144 subjects, consisting of 73 non-smokers and 71 smokers. The groups at risk for vitamin D deficiency were 17 non-smokers (23.29%) and 31 smokers (43.66%). The smokers group had 2,553 times higher risk of vitamin d deficiency than non-smokers. There was a significant difference between smokers and non-smokers on 25(OH)D level vitamin D status. And there was a significant relationship between vitamin D status in smokers and non-smokers. There was a weak relationship between smokers and non-smokers on vitamin D status.

Smoking and alcohol consumption behavior prevailed greater among adolescents period. These behavior could cause health risks. About 1 of every 4 adolescents in Indonesia were smokers and 3% of adolescents were drinking alcohol. This study aimed to analyze the association between self-efficacy with smoking and alcohol consumption among adolescents. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in July-September 2022. The study population was high school male students in Yogyakarta. A multistage random sampling technique was employed, involving 163 respondents. The instrument used was a questionnaire that has been tested. Data was analyzed in chi-square. Almost half of males had smoking behavior (39,3%). Males who were smoking started their behavior at the mean age of 15 years old. Most of them had low self-efficacy (70,6%). All male adolescents who had high self-efficacy do not have alcohol drink behavior. There was a relationship between self-efficacy with smoking behavior (p=0,001) and alcohol consumption (p=0,004). Strengthening self-efficacy is essential for adolescents. The government, family, and peers have an important role in increasing self-efficacy

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Postpartum care in the hospital was very short, while the breastfeeding period was very long. On returning home, mother need the closest, affordable and ongoing supporting of trained neighbors for exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months. This study aimed to examine the effect of accompaniment by trained peer neighbor (ATPN) on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) duration and prevalence. Methods: The experimental quasi-design was used to compare duration of EBF in the intervention group (n=49) and the control group (n=49). The intervention group received ATPN by scheduled home visits 15 times with providing informational and practical support. The control group received the postpartum care-standard. Duration of EBF was measured weekly to 24th week postpartum. Survival analysis was used to compare duration of EBF between groups. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios for cessation of EBF. Results: The intervention increases the duration of EBF. Median duration of EBF in the intervention and control group were 21.63 weeks and 15.85 weeks respectively (p0.001).  The prevalence of EBF at 12, 20, 24 weeks for the intervention versus control groups were (93.8% vs 69.3 %) (79.5% vs 44.8%), (59.1% vs 12.2%) respectively. Mothers in the control group were four times more likely to cessation EBF each of time than were mothers in the intervention group (HR 4.24; 95% CI: 2.56, 6.99). Conclusion: The ATPN effectively increases exclusive breastfeeding duration. It was easy to implement at a lower cost, sustainable, and effective.

Published: August 2024

Introduction

To investigate whether synthetic (s) glucocorticoids (GCs) administered between the 24th and the 34th gestational weeks in pre-term labor might precipitate labor, studies on sGCs administration were reviewed. The physiology of endogenous glucocorticoid-related increase in fetal–maternal circulation and its association with labor, followed by a scoping review of studies on exogenous sGCs administered for fetal lung maturation and the timing of labor, were included.

Materials and methods

The methodology of systematic reviews was followed. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched until October 2023, for original studies investigating the administration of sGCs in pregnancies risking pre-term labor. Duplicates were removed, and 1867 abstracts were excluded as irrelevant. Six controlled and four non-controlled studies were included. The index group consisted of 6001 subjects and 7691 controls in the former, while in the latter, the index group consisted of 2069 subjects.

Results

In three out of the six controlled studies, gestational age at labor was significantly lower in sGC-treated women than in controls, while in three studies, gestational age at labor was lower in sGC-treated women than in controls, with a trend toward statistical significance. In one study, gestational age at labor was significantly lower in controls than in sGC-treated women. In the non-controlled studies, the majority of women delivered less than 1 week from the day of sGC administration.

Conclusions

In this scoping review, studies lack homogeneity. However, in the controlled studies, a pattern of earlier labor emerges among sGC-treated pregnant women. The use of multiple courses of antenatal sGCs appears to be associated with precipitated labor. Their use should be carefully weighed. Carefully designed trials should examine this ongoing scientific query.
IMPACT OF REAL-LIFE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES ON REPRODUCTION: Impact of developmental exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals on pituitary gland reproductive function
Authors: Ge Xiyu , Weis Karen , Raetzman Lori
Published: August 2024

In brief

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can impact reproduction by affecting the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. This review emphasizes the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on pituitary development and function.

The pituitary gland is crucial for regulating many physiological systems, including reproduction. Clear evidence suggests that pituitary function can be impaired by exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Humans and animals are exposed to EDCs throughout life, but exposure during critical periods when the pituitary is developing could have more damaging consequences. In this review, we summarize the development of the pituitary gland, including the impact of hormone signals, and describe how in vivo EDC exposure during development might alter pituitary function. These include changes in pituitary hormone, mRNA, and protein expression levels, as well as pituitary cell number and population balance. We focus on reproductive hormone-producing cells as well as other endocrine and pituitary stem/progenitor cells. We reveal the current gaps in knowledge and suggest future directions in terms of understanding the effects of developmental EDC exposure directly on the pituitary gland.

In brief

Melatonin plays a crucial role in enhancing reproductive performance in small ruminants. This paper reveals the effects of exogenous melatonin on the placental and endometrial rearrangement in early pregnancy in sheep.

Early pregnancy losses cause 25% of pregnancy failures in small ruminants because of asynchrony between conceptus and uterine signals. In this context, melatonin plays a crucial role in sheep reproductive dynamics, but little is known about its effects during the peri-implantation period. We hypothesized that melatonin supports embryo implantation by modulating the uterine microenvironment. This study aimed to assess the effects of exogenous melatonin on the endometrial and early placental rearrangement. Ten multiparous ewes either did (MEL, n = 5) or did not (CTR, n = 5) receive a subcutaneous melatonin implant (18 mg) 50 days before a synchronized mating. On day 21 of pregnancy, the sheep were euthanized. MEL ewes exhibited a higher prolificity rate (2.8 vs 2.0 embryos/ewe) and plasma progesterone levels (3.84 vs 2.96 ng/mL, P < 0.05) than did CTR ewes. Groups did not differ significantly in embryo crown-rump length. MEL placentas had significantly (P < 0.001) more binucleated trophoblast cells in the chorion region, and ovine placental lactogen expression was significantly (P < 0.05) more strongly upregulated than in CTR. Exogenous melatonin increased significantly (P < 0.05) gene expression of angiogenic factors (VEGFA, VEGFR1, IGF1R), IFNAR2, and PR in the caruncular endometrium. Expression of the MT2 receptor in the endometrium and placenta was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the MEL group. These results indicate that melatonin implants acted differentially on uterine and placental rearrangement. Melatonin increases differentiation in the placenta and induces changes that could promote vessel maturation in the endometrium, suggesting that it enhances the uterine microenvironment in the early stage of pregnancy in sheep.

According to the absolute volume of the amassed scientific information as well as to the rate of its growth chemistry has long been one of the first among other natural sciences. The increasing difficulties in the scientific-informational exchange in chemistry led to the formation of an effective informational system based on traditional forms of the dissemination and search of information by means of books and journals. This system was successfully expanding without any essential reconstruction of its traditional basis and existed in the course of a whole century up to the fifties of the 20-th century.In the mid-fifties and early sixties in addition to reference journals and other informational editions there appeared a great number of new specialized informational publications many of which are being nowadays computerproduced.Alongside with the formation and automatic publication of various informational edittions intensive research work in the origination of automatic informational systems is being carried out. Such world-known chemical informational centres as CAS Service and VINITI are engaged in particularly perspective and largescale researches in the creation of integrated informational systems.Of great interest to chemists is the integrated system “Assistant” and, specifically, its subsystem “Chemical Information” which is now being worked out in VINITI.As the results of the investigation of informational interests electrochemists has schown selective dissemination of information is now the mast prominent among other numerous kinds of information service.

The development of a subsidiary scientific bibliography is one of the main tasks of a higher school library. Since 1944 planned speciae bibliographical aids have been prepared at the Scientific library of Vilnius university. Their subject matter is determined by the University profile and its scientific and educational objectives. Some of the prepared works are published, the rest remains unpublished and is preserved in the storage collection of the Bibliographical department. Thematic bibliographical aids are also compiled during bibliographical services to the readers by an “order-answer” regime.The collection of unpublished bibliographical aids in the library forms one part of its reference system. The content of the collection is shown by means of alphabetical, subject and personalia card files. Information about newly compiled bibliographical aids is regulary sent to the State library of the Republic. The collection includes 424 bibliographical aids with the total volume of 85 thousand printed positions. There dominate lists and indices from the study of local lore and personalia. Thematic distribution of the collection shows that the aids on humanitarian subjects form the bulk of the collection. The collection includes vast material on Lithuanian history, economic development of Lithuania, its relations with the neighbouring countries, material about different localities and towns. The aim of bibliographical aids an social sciences is to facilitate the fulfilment of students’ education and ideology formation tasks.

Studi Mad’u dan Teori Resepsi Stuart Hall: Analisis Komentar Netizen pada Ceramah Virtual Buya Yahya
Authors: Hakim Lukman , Dwi Magfiroh Ervina Putri
Published: August 2024

This article reports on the textual thematic research conducted with 100 Netizens' comments on the YouTube channel of Al-Bahjah TV entitled "Tanggapan Buya Yahya tentang Fatwa MUI Haram Membeli Produk Isra*l/Yahudi (The Response of Buya Yahya to the MUI Fatwa on the Prohibition of Buying Israeli/Jewish Products)”. This study uses thematic analysis and Stuart Hall's reception theoretical framework to examine Netizens' (mad’u) reception towards Buya Yahya's online preaching regarding MUI recommendation for Muslims to avoid buying any products affiliated with Israel. The findings illustrate three different mad'u receptions, namely dominant hegemonic reading (48), negotiated reading (22), and oppositional reading (30). The Netizens' (mad'u) cultural background influenced the variety of their reading positions of Buya Yahya's preaching, which resulted in several different types of arguments: humanity, religion, economy, socio-politics, and commodification of religion.
Soils in the current waste management system
Authors: Grigorieva Iya , Sadov Sergei , Morozov Andrei
Published: August 2024

This article is part of the dissertation research.
In modern conditions of active construction, the volumes of excavated soil can amount to hundreds of thousands and millions of cubic meters, making up the bulk of waste generated in the process of engineering and economic activities. Such significant volumes of waste (in the form of soil) pose the challenge of making appropriate decisions about their subsequent disposal, reuse or disposal. To solve such issues, it is necessary to know the system of waste management, which is soil, and the current shortcomings in the principles of organization and functioning mechanisms of this system.
The authors of the presented article analyzed the system for handling soils falling into the category of waste. In general, soils are complex multicomponent systems characterized by dynamic changes in composition, structure and properties. Taking into account the specifics of the object under study, the weakest aspects and controversial issues were identified in the analyzed regulatory and methodological materials. One of which is the very fact that soil is categorized as waste from a regulatory point of view. The article examines the contradictions in the definitions used in regulatory documents, the position of soils in the overall waste management system, as well as the procedure for establishing the hazard class of waste; Particular emphasis is placed on the need to use biotesting methods to confirm the V hazard class of waste.
The article presents the generalized results of large-scale experimental studies by the team of authors, obtained when assessing the hazard class of waste soils, carried out for the purity of the experiment on soils under the conditions of modeling different in composition and level of pollution. Based on the results obtained, basic proposals have been formulated for improving approaches in the current system for handling soils that fall into the category of waste during engineering and economic, and, above all, engineering and construction activities.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the bioethical perspectives on mobile tracking device use. Methods: theoretical study based on action research, carried out with eight graduate students from a public university. A focus group was used, with a thematic content analysis methodology with a codebook structure, approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: from the analysis, there was a concern about using devices after the pandemic ended. Using or not the device, rights inherent to humans, legislation and effectiveness of methods deepen interpretations, moving participants from a personalistic conception of the topic to a vision focused on professional implications about the methods. Final considerations: the debate on the impact of using technological devices on health, especially those that imply restriction of rights that refer to individuals’ private life, involves a discussion of a professional nature, in addition to requirement for clear rules on the topic.

Published: August 2024

Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of four therapeutic approaches available for mucosal leishmaniasis in Brazil: miltefosine, meglumine antimoniate, combined with and without pentoxifylline, and liposomal amphotericin B. The perspective adopted was that of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). The outcome of interest was “cured patient”, which was analyzed using a decision tree model. Estimates of direct costs and effectiveness were obtained from the scientific literature. Meglumine antimoniate alone was the base comparator strategy; liposomal amphotericin B showed an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of USD 7,409.13 per cured patient, and the combination of meglumine antimoniate with pentoxifylline presented an ICER of USD 85.13. Miltefosine was absolutely dominated, with higher cost and similar effectiveness when compared to meglumine antimoniate. Sensitivity analyses, varying the cost by ±25%, did not change the results. However, when the cost of miltefosine was estimated at less than USD 171.23, this strategy was dominant over meglumine antimoniate alone. The results confirm that treatment with liposomal amphotericin B remains the option with the highest ICER among the approaches analyzed. Miltefosine may be cost-effective based on the variation in the acquisition price, which deserves attention because it is the only available oral option. The non-accounting of other aspects prevent the use of these results immediately to support decision-making, but they point out the need to negotiate the prices of drugs available for mucosal leishmaniasis and indicates the need of encouraging technology transfer or other actions aimed at expanding the performance of the Brazilian national industrial complex.

Published: August 2024

Resumo As preferências ao risco e tempo são fatores importantes que auxiliam entender a dinâmica do comportamento humano para tomada de decisões. Este estudo teve como objetivo replicar um experimento baseado nas formas funcionais derivadas da Teoria do Prospecto em uma amostra composta por universitários brasileiros, analisando em profundidade com 110 perguntas (2.420 observações), e estimando por máxima verossimilhança os parâmetros de risco e tempo. Foi utilizado o modelo sugerido por Harrison, (2008) e Andersen et al. (2008), o SMPL (Switching Multiple Price List), com a teoria do desconto hiperbólico e a função de máxima verossimilhança. Os resultados apontaram que os respondentes apresentam comportamento assimétrico em relação a ganhos e perdas. Também foi possível observar que a taxa de desconto encontrada (diária) no experimento equivale a uma taxa de desconto anual de 44,0%, consideravelmente alta, resultado que pode ser atribuído ao chamado “efeito magnitude” em investimentos.
Impactos socioeconômicos de um desabastecimento de diesel na economia brasileira: uma análise de insumo produto
Authors: Moreira Thiago de Moraes , Ribeiro Luiz Carlos de Santana , Alvarenga Samia Mercado
Published: August 2024

Resumo Este artigo estima os impactos potenciais de um eventual desabastecimento do diesel sobre a economia brasileira. Para tanto, utiliza-se um modelo insumo-produto integrado a procedimentos de programação linear a fim de simular efeitos diretos, indiretos e induzidos sobre a renda e a geração de empregos. Os resultados revelam implicações socioeconômicas expressivas para curtos períodos (10 dias) de restrição na disponibilidade e apontam para perdas potenciais significativas devido às características da estrutura produtiva, em particular relativas ao setor de transporte. Mais especificamente, os resultados mostram um impacto potencial de redução de R$ 76,28 bilhões do PIB brasileiro, o equivalente a 1,5% do PIB de 2015. As estimativas mostram queda potencial que poderia atingir 1,8 milhões de postos de trabalho. As evidências obtidas contribuem para orientar políticas públicas de planejamento energético e chamam atenção para a necessidade de formação de estoques estratégicos de diesel.

Published: August 2024

Resumo Desenvolvida na biologia para entender a evolução das espécies, a teoria da história de vida passou a ser aplicada na psicologia para compreender as diferenças individuais no desenvolvimento em resposta a condições ambientais específicas. Devido ao seu potencial heurístico para compreensão do comportamento humano, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a incorporação da THV pela psicologia, apresentando seus fundamentos teóricos e conceituais nesse novo campo, tais como contínuo rápido-lento, covariação entre traços psicológicos e estratégias de história de vida. Discutimos com base em trabalhos empíricos as previsões da teoria sobre a influência da imprevisibilidade e severidade ambientais nos traços psicológicos. São revisados trabalhos nas áreas do desenvolvimento, comportamento sexual e antissocial, personalidade e psicopatologia. São apresentadas críticas e contracríticas do seu uso na psicologia. Finalmente, abordamos limitações dos estudos de THV na psicologia. Argumentamos que estudos nessa área podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de soluções aos problemas sociais atuais.
Feline leukemia: a review
Authors: Nogueira Marina Moller , Bruno Leonardo Loures Garcia , Melo Marília Martins
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT: Among the hematopoietic neoplasms, leukemias are caused by myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow, which can either be acute with an unfavorable prognosis and mostly affect cats that tested positive for feline viral leukemia (FeLV) or chronic in older cats that have a poor prognosis. Leukemias have several classifications in which the differentiation depends on complementary tests, such as blood profile, myelogram, cytology. and flow cytometry, which help determine the best treatment for the animal.

ABSTRACT: This report described the use of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in the diagnosis of two cases of canine malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Both patients presented with lameness in the thoracic limb and no response to previous clinical treatment or trauma history. Physical examination revealed muscular atrophy in one of the thoracic limbs, in both dogs. B-mode axillary ultrasound showed the presence of a predominantly hypoechogenic, heterogeneous, irregular, nonencapsulated nodule with adjacent reactivity, measuring approximately 20.1 mm x 15.4 mm in the first case and 18.3 mm x 10.7 mm in the second. ARFI elastography was performed, showing areas of significant stiffness, with an average shear wave velocity of 4.12 m/s (case 1) and 4.35 m/s (case 2), suggesting malignancy. In both cases, the affected limb was amputated, and the tumors sent for histopathological analysis, which were; subsequently, diagnosed as malignant tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath. The ultrasonographic methods used were essential in the diagnosis and therapeutic conduct.
