The purpose of this study is to empower social service as a mental education for the care of the Indonesian people during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the existence of this research data it can be used as a community service program and also a benchmark for society, especially in Indonesia, the community can empower social service during the current Covid-19 Pandemic and also this outbreak provides lessons to all people, especially the Indonesian people to open a spirit of concern. in society in order to face this covid-19 pandemic. At this time social service is still very seriously implemented. Therefore, it can be seen that when this outbreak entered the country of Indonesia from 2020 until now, the implementation of social service is very rampant by the government, organizations, associations, and others. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the religious organization of the Al-Ikhlas Deltasari Mosque helped people who are well off to practice some of their assets to local residents so that they do not become haram assets and can be useful for residents who are more in need. There are several dozens of basic food packages that have been collected and ready to be distributed to residents around the Al-Ikhlas Deltasari Indah Mosque. This activity is carried out regularly every week, especially on Friday. This social service is not only in the form of basic necessities but also in the form of packaged rice, money and so on. The results obtained from the above social service activities are to help welfare, strengthen relationship with the surrounding community, foster a caring attitude among others, foster social sensitivity and provide happiness which are very important to carry out charity and social service activities, especially for less fortunate citizens. It is hoped that other communities can be inspired and raise awareness by holding similar activities. The method used in this community service program is to distribute packaged rice.

Geny archaicznych ludzi w genomie człowieka współczesnego a pandemia COVID-19
Authors: Branicki Wojciech , Marszałek Kamila , Herda Kinga , Łabaj Paweł
Published: December 2021

Badania paleogenetyczne z zastosowaniem wysokoprzepustowego sekwencjonowania DNA umożliwiły ujawnienie genów wymarłych gatunków ludzkich w genomach człowieka współczesnego. Jest to dowód krzyżowania się naszych przodków z człowiekiem neandertalskim i denisowiańskim na terenach Azji i Europy. Co więcej, może to świadczyć o korzyściach adaptacyjnych jakie człowiek współczesny, zajmujący nowe obszary geograficzne, odniósł na skutek pozyskania nowych wariantów genów od archaicznych gatunków. Jednym z istotnych wyzwań, na jakie nasi przodkowie natrafili po opuszczeniu Afryki były nowe patogeny, a w szczególności wirusy. Z przeprowadzonej analizy współczesnych genomów wynika, że w walce z nimi mogły pomóc geny odziedziczone od naszych wymarłych krewnych, kodujące białka układu odpornościowego i białka odpowiedzialne za ochronę przed zakażeniami wirusowymi. Okazuje się, że geny obecne w genomie człowieka dzięki introgresji mają również znaczenie w starciu z wirusem SARS-CoV-2, a w szczególności wpływają na przebieg choroby COVID-19. Co ciekawe, niektóre z nich, jak SLC6A20, LZTFL1, XCR1, czy DPP4 mogą przyczyniać się do zwiększenia ryzyka ciężkiego przebiegu choroby, a inne jak OAS1, OAS2 i OAS3 ryzyko to redukują. Dalsze badania mogą wyjaśnić znaczenie tych wariantów genetycznych w odniesieniu do przeszłych zdarzeń, które doprowadziły do zwiększenia ich częstości w genomach współczesnych ludzi. Możliwe, że to właśnie wirusy były istotnym czynnikiem doboru, który doprowadził do obecności genów wymarłych gatunków ludzkich w genomach człowieka współczesnego, a geny te stanowią świadectwo przeszłych epidemii.

Authors: Witkowski Jacek M. , Bryl Ewa
Published: December 2021

Epidemiological studies concerning the new coronavirus disease called COVID-19 show that elderly and old people are more susceptible to symptomatic, severe course of the disease, and also to death as its consequence. These age groups frequently suffer from associated, aging-related, chronic inflammatory diseases, in the case of COVID-19 described as co-morbidities. This paper describes the mechanisms of infection by SARS-CoV-2 virus and the development of acute COVID-19 and of its chronic form called long COVID, as well as the participation of various components of the immune system in the development and course of  this disease in the context of changing properties (aging) of both the innate and adaptive immunity in the elderly. In particular, the role of two key phenomena occurring in the aging immune system and precipitating or at least facilitating the aging-related diseases including COVID-19, namely the immunosenescence and inflammaging, is discussed.
Solid Waste Recycling Issues in Georgia
Authors: Levan Gogodze Levan Gogodze
Published: December 2021

Georgia has made many commitments by signing the Association Agreement with the European Union, including the development of an effective waste management program. Waste management policies should include issues such as: waste management, landfills, identification and classification of waste facilities, urban wastewater treatment and more.
There are four types of waste: household waste; Medical waste; Biological waste and industrial waste. Each type of waste can cause great harm to the environment. The medical and industrial waste are especially dangerous. About 5-10 thousand tons of medical waste are generated in Georgia. There is less waste planning opportunities and experience at the municipal level. In small towns and rural settlements, there are not enough garbage collection containers and garbage trucks. With the economic development of the country, the amount of waste generated and collected is increasing.
Like developing countries, solid waste management in Georgia is associated with challenges of national, regional and local importance, as well as financial and environmental problems. The important steps have been taken in recent years to rectify the situation: a system for the safe disposal of municipal waste in a landfill environment and health has been established in Tbilisi and the regions.
There is less waste planning opportunities and experience at the municipal level. In small towns and rural settlements, there are not enough garbage collection containers and garbage trucks. With the economic development of the country, the amount of waste generated and collected is increasing.
The Work has already begun on arranging new landfills. The Waste Management Code, accompanying by-laws, the National Waste Management Strategy (2016-2030) and the National Waste Management Action Plan have made it the preferred course for Georgia to become a country focused on waste prevention and recycling. Despite the positive changes, according to experts on the issue, the country still has a long way to go to achieve this goal. Several factors are particularly challenging: 1. Incentive mechanisms for waste prevention, reuse, recycling and recovery are being developed; 2. Waste processing companies should be established or strengthened; 3. Effective mechanisms for waste management costs (both for citizens and companies) to be developed; 4. An extended producer obligation should be introduced, which implies the responsibility of the producer and / or importer for the collection and treatment of specific wastes hazardous to humans and health.
Key words: Solid waste, Garbage processing plants, Household waste, Medical waste, Biological waste, Industrial waste.

Participation of Local Stakeholders at Ban Chiang World Heritage Site
Authors: Gozzoli Pattarachit Choompol , Gozzoli Roberto B.
Published: December 2021

This article deals with the empowerment of local residents and the economic development of the World Heritage (WH) site at Ban Chiang, Thailand, a prehistoric necropolis dating back to the first millennium BC. The site itself was added to the WH list in 1992, with the intention of safeguarding
it from further looting by local inhabitants through the possible combination of restrictive laws and tourism-generated income. To ascertain the success of those policies three decades later, tourism activities and local community participation have been assessed in this study through GIS
spatial analysis and a questionnaire survey based on the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale (RETS). The spatial analysis shows that no tourism activity has developed within the heritage property, which remains unvisited by tourists, while the questionnaire survey confirms that tourism
and the related income potential for Ban Chiang residents are limited, but they are proud of the fact that Ban Chiang is a WH site, and strongly support tourism. The other negative aspects are the lack of political participation by the local community, and the lack of tourism skills, both
of which limit any possible further development of the site. Based on such results, a theoretical framework for sustainable heritage development derived from Landorf 's research is elaborated in this study, employing all the various stages of sustainable heritage development and analysis tools
from site assessment to the planning and development stages.

Authors: Kiron Bini , Basack Sudip , Goswami Ghritartha , Bida Habung
Published: December 2021

Rapid industrialization, road cutting, excavation and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture practices are causing varied pollution in aquatic environment, leading to deterioration of water quality and depletion of aquatic biota. Due to use of this contaminated water, human population suffers from various water borne diseases. It is therefore necessary to check water quality at a regular interval of time to determine whether it is good for consumption or other purpose such as irrigation, industrialization etc. In this study paper, hydrological and environmental characterization of surface water was done by different water quality parameters conducted in water samples at Kamle District of Arunachal Pradesh, India, reported for both pre- and post-monsoon periods. The physical and chemical water parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, total dissolved solids, nitrate, and phosphate were analyzed and are studied. Water quality index was then determined by using National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) method. Based on these data, the surface water from different sources is classified as unacceptable, poor, medium, good and excellent.

Проанализировано применение погружных (плавающих) насосов в насосно-рукавных комплексах. Рассмотрены их преимущества перед центробежными насосами, устанавливаемыми в мобильной пожарной технике. На основе практики применения и технических характеристик погружных насосов, производимых ведущими зарубежными фирмами, сформулированы технические требования для разработки отечественного погружного насоса. Кроме того, технические требования могут стать основой разработки национального стандарта для этого типа пожарно-технической продукции.

The article analyzes the results of operation of a relatively new type of centrifugal pump - a submersible (floating) centrifugal pump with a hydraulic drive. These pumps have a number of significant advantages over centrifugal pumps installed on mobile fire fighting equipment - they can be used to pump liquid from a mark up to minus 30 m. Since the suction pipe of such a pump is located directly in the pumped liquid (below the liquid mirror level), the phenomenon of cavitation is practically excluded. Submersible pumps are used to supply water in case of fire and for water disposal during the elimination of hazardous hydrological phenomena, both independently and in conjunction with centrifugal pumps installed on mobile fire fighting equipment (supply to pumping). All submersible pumps included in the set of hose-pumping complexes are of foreign production. The demand for such pumping units causes the need to develop domestic samples in order to get away from import dependence in the manufacture of pumping and hose systems and their operation. Based on the practice of using submersible pumps and the technical characteristics of submersible pumps produced by leading foreign companies, the following technical requirements for the development of a domestic submersible pump have been formulated. Pump delivery is 170-180 l ∙ s from the mark to minus 30 m. Water intake is possible both in equipped (adapted) and unequipped (unsuitable) places. In addition, the requirements for the hydraulic drive, weight and size characteristics, and some components have been formulated. In conclusion, some directions for the further development of pumping and hose systems and submersible pumping stations are considered.

В статье представлены результаты экспериментальных исследований истечения пропана в различных направлениях в закрытом помещении. Рассматривался случай, когда источник истечения находился в багажнике автомобиля - имитация нахождения автомобиля с газомоторным топливом на станции технического обслуживания. Целью эксперимента являлось изучение механизма пространственного распространения газа в закрытом помещении для валидации математических моделей, используемых в программном комплексе ANSYS Fluent при моделировании поступления пропана в закрытое помещение.

This scientific work describes a test conducted in a multidisciplinary test box on the testing training ground of the Orenburg branch of the All-Russian Research Institute for Fire Protection of EMERCOM of Russia. For the experiment there was built a room to simulate a service station (or parking box) for two cars. The frame was made of wooden bars and a plastic film was used to isolate the internal volume. The experimental installation consisted of a gas source with an internal diameter of 5 mm, located in the center of the room, and a system for gas supply and registration of experimental data from six gas analyzers SGOES-2 with a measurement range of pre-explosive concentrations from 0 to 100% of the lower concentration limit of flame propagation (NKPR) or a volume fraction from 0 to 1.7% with absolute ± 5% NKPR (in the range from 0 to 50% NKPR) and relative ± 10% NKPR (in the range from 50 to 100% NKPR) errors. In the center of the experimental room there was placed a car with the gas source in the trunk. All openings to the interior were insulated with plastic film and mounting foam. Natural cracks were left between the trunk lid and the body. The gas source is located in the trunk of the car and is directed towards the wide part of the trunk at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the floor (simulating the location of the gas cylinder used in cars). The gas analyzers were located along the wall, where the outflow is directed along the perimeter of the trunk, and one gas analyzer was located directly in the trunk behind the gas analyzer to control gas contamination. Propane has been released into the trunk with a constant flow rate of 2.8 m/h for 5 minutes. There were 8 test starts of the gas supply system (the flow vertically down), and then there were carried out 3 experiments per 3 series of tests in each. The purpose of the test was to study the mechanism of spatial gas propagation in an confined space for validation of mathematical models used in the ANSYS Fluent software package when modeling the propane intake into the confined space

Many brown dwarfs are on ultrashort-period and tidally locked orbits around white dwarf hosts. Because of these small orbital separations, the brown dwarfs are irradiated at levels similar to hot Jupiters. Yet, they are easier to observe than hot Jupiters because white dwarfs are fainter than main-sequence stars at near-infrared wavelengths. Irradiated brown dwarfs are, therefore, ideal hot Jupiter analogs for studying the atmospheric response under strong irradiation and fast rotation. We present the 1.1–1.67 μm spectroscopic phase curve of the irradiated brown dwarf (SDSS1411-B) in the SDSS J141126.20 + 200911.1 brown dwarf–white dwarf binary with the near-infrared G141 grism of the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. SDSS1411-B is a 50M
Jup brown dwarf with an irradiation temperature of 1300 K and has an orbital period of 2.02864 hr. Our best-fit model suggests a phase-curve amplitude of 1.4% and places an upper limit of 11° for the phase offset from the secondary eclipse. After fitting the white dwarf spectrum, we extract the phase-resolved brown dwarf emission spectra. We report a highly wavelength-dependent day–night spectral variation, with a water-band flux variation of about 360% ± 70% and a comparatively small J-band flux variation of 37% ± 2%. By combining the atmospheric modeling results and the day–night brightness temperature variations, we derive a pressure-dependent temperature contrast. We discuss the difference in the spectral features of SDSS1411-B and hot Jupiter WASP-43b, as well as the lower-than-predicted day–night temperature contrast of J4111-BD. Our study provides the high-precision observational constraints on the atmospheric structures of an irradiated brown dwarf at different orbital phases.

Tractography of White Matter Fibers Using Diffusion MRI
Authors: Ramamoorthy Strivathsav Ashwin
Published: December 2021

To understand more about the human brain and how it works, it is vital to understand how the neural circuits connect different regions of the brain. The human brain is filled predominantly with water and the majority of the water molecules undergo diffusion which can be captured with the help of diffusion MRI. Diffusion weighted images enable us to reconstruct the neural circuits in a non-invasive manner, and this procedure is referred to as tractography. Tractography aids neurosurgeons to understand the neural connectivity of the patient. This chapter attempts to explain the procedure of tractography and different types of algorithms.
Facets of the Gender Gap in Labour Force Participation and Economic Empowerment Disruption
Authors: Baral S. K. , Mahapatra Durga Madhab , Patra Soumendra Kumar
Published: December 2021

According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) data, the average employment for January 2019-March 2020 was 403 million, which declined to 282 million in April 2020 and recovered steadily thereafter to reach 393million by August 2020. In India, female labour force participation is abysmally poor and has declined over the years, despite a rise in education. The causes for this are complex and, aside from objective factors, include a whole variety of social and cultural aspects. One of the factors causing this is the social mentality of women becoming homemakers. Furthermore, the scarcity of schooling and work-oriented courses, the lack of mobility, and sexism in the workplace have been deterrents to women's access to the public workspace. Therefore, initiatives that aim to fix this void need to be holistic. Legislation alone is not enough, and to close this gap, all stakeholders should join hands. The chapter attempts to analyse facets of the gender gap in labour force participation and economic empowerment disruption through the pandemic.
Servant Leadership and the Spirituality of Music in Crisis Management
Authors: Marizza Paolo
Published: December 2021

The ways in which organizations manage crises can find significant analogies in the musician's process of improvisation, involving a continuous leader-follower interaction that displays the typical traits of servant leaders fueled by spirituality. The analogy with musical improvisation is the thread that runs through this chapter, which analyzes servant leadership in organizational orchestration with reference to current issues such as distributed work. The conditions that can enable the development of servant organizations are identified, modeling the different contextual dimensions with reference to organizational performance, also with respect to other leadership styles. These enabling factors are also declined with respect to agile management practices and the convergence between spiritual leadership and servant leadership. New research directions are identified: this transformative historical moment offers a unique opportunity to develop in-depth causal inferences about how servant leadership creates ethical and organizational value.

Background:

In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the 5th version of the soft tissue and bone tumor classification. Based on this novel classification system, we reviewed the current knowledge on all tumor entities with spinal manifestations, their biologic behavior, and most importantly the appropriate treatment options as well as surgical approaches.

Methods:

All tumor entities were extracted from the WHO Soft-Tissue and Bone Tumor Classification (5th Edition). PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for the published cases of spinal tumor manifestations for each entity, and the following characteristics were extracted: Growth pattern, ability to metastasize, peak age, incidence, treatment, type of surgical resection indicated, recurrence rate, risk factors, 5-year survival rate, key molecular or genetic alterations, and possible associated tumor syndromes. Surgical treatment strategies as well as nonsurgical treatment recommendations are presented based on the biologic behavior of each lesion.

Results:

Out of 163 primary tumor entities of bone and soft tissue, 92 lesions have been reported along the spinal axis. Of these 92 entities, 54 have the potential to metastasize. The peak age ranges from conatal lesions to 72 years. For each tumor entity, we present recommended surgical treatment strategies based on the ability to locally destruct tissue, to grow, recur after resection, undergo malignant transformation as well as survival rates. In addition, potential systemic treatment recommendations for each tumor entity are outlined.

Conclusion:

Based on the 5th Edition of the WHO bone and soft tumor classification, we identified 92 out of 163 tumor entities, which potentially can have spinal manifestations. Exact preoperative tissue diagnosis and interdisciplinary case discussions are crucial. Surgical resection is indicated in a significant subset of patients and has to be tailored to the specific biologic behavior of the targeted tumor entity based on the considerations outlined in detail in this article.
Ankylosing spondylitis traumatic subaxial cervical fractures – An updated treatment algorithm

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatologic disease characterized by ankylosis and ligament ossification of the spine with an elevated risk of vertebrae fractures at the cervical level or cervicothoracic junction. AS related cervical fractures (ASCFs) require early diagnosis and a treatment plan that considers the high risk for additional fractures to avoid neurological complications or death. We present the case of a patient with an ASCF and a review of the literature with key recommendations that shape our algorithm for the proper diagnosis and treatment of ASCFs. We present the case of a 29-year-old male with an ASCF at C5-C6 treated initially with a short segment instrumented arthrodesis that required an additional operation to properly stabilize and protect his spine. Based on our experience with this case and a review of the literature, we discuss three recommendations to improve ASCF management. These include the need for early computed tomography/magnetic resonance image for proper diagnoses, combined surgical approach with long-segment stabilization for maximum stability. Delayed diagnosis or revision surgery, both of which are common in these patients who present with a stiffened and osteoporotic spine, may lead to spinal cord injury or neurologic deficits. Our recommendations based on the most recent evidence can help surgeons better manage these patients and decrease their overall morbidity and mortality.

Introduction:

Meningiomas account for 2.2% to 2.5% of all cerebral tumors, of which only 2% are located in the foramen magnum. Foramen magnum meningiomas (FMMs) are commonly found in women, with a mean age at onset of 52 years old. They generally behave more aggressively than other meningiomas.

Materials and Methods:

We performed epidemiological, anatomical and surgical analyses of 20 patients diagnosed with FMMs who underwent surgical treatment from 1999 to 2019 at Santa Paula Hospital in Sao Paulo. This case series was compared with previously published ones to better understand this relatively rare disease.

Results:

Twenty patients were included, with a mean follow-up of 110 months. Their mean age was 37.8 years old. The mean preoperative Karnofsky performance status scale (KPS) was 84%. We found a female (65%) and left hemisphere predominance (50%). Involvement of both hemispheres was found in 25% of patients. FMM locations were anterior, anterolateral, lateral and posterior, in 45%, 35%, 10%, and 10%, respectively. Simpson resection grades I, II, and III were achieved in 25%, 60%, and 15% of cases, respectively. Mean postoperative KPS was 79%. Three patients with anterior and bilateral located meningiomas had a worse postoperative KPS in comparison to the preoperative one.

Conclusion:

Anterior and bilateral FMMs seem to be related to a worse prognosis. A gross total resection can reduce the recurrence rates. The KPS is worse in patients with recurrence.
Restraint use as a quality indicator for the hospital setting: a secondary data analysis

Published: December 2021

INTRODUCTION: A reduction in restraint use is recommended for all health care settings. For this purpose, local or national quality measurement and improvement initiatives have been implemented in various countries, primarily in the mental health and long-term care settings. However, restraints are also frequently used in the somatic acute care hospital setting, and strong variations in their prevalence rates have been reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reanalyse existing data on restraint use in Swiss hospitals in order to assess the potential of restraint use as a national quality indicator for the hospital setting.
METHODS: Using a cross-sectional, multicentre design, data were collected between 2016 and 2018 as part of the ANQ"s (Swiss National Association for Quality Development in Hospitals and Clinics) "falls and pressure ulcers" national prevalence measurement in acute care hospitals in Switzerland. The hospitals measured restraint use on a voluntary basis in addition to falls and pressure ulcers. All medical specialities and patients aged 18 and over who gave their informed consent were included in the measurement. Descriptive and multilevel regression analyses were performed using institutional, ward and patient-level data relating to restraint use.
RESULTS: The sample consisted of 18,938 inpatients from 55 hospitals. The 30-day prevalence rate of patients with at least one restraint was 10.2% (n = 1933). The risk-adjusted hospital comparison revealed that hospitals in Switzerland differ significantly in their restraint use, even after adjusting for patient characteristics. In total, 10 hospitals used restraints significantly less and 12 used them significantly more than the national average.
CONCLUSION: Restraint use varies significantly between Swiss hospitals: 40% of all hospitals used restraints either significantly more or significantly less often than the average. In comparison to the other quality indicators, this is a very high value, indicating potential for improvements in the quality of care. Since restraint use is associated not only with quality of care, but also with human rights, these large differences seem questionable from a professional, ethical and legal point of view. Clearer and binding regulations in combination with monitoring and benchmarking of restraint use in hospitals, such as with a national quality indicator, seem necessary. These would help to ensure that restraint use is in alignment with professional values, as well as ethical and legal requirements.

Bu çalışmada anımsama kavramının farklı tanımları incelenmiştir. Günümüzde anımsama kavramı, yaşlanmakta olan topluma paralel olarak sağlık alanında sıklıkla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Anımsama bireylerde her yaşta görülebilen, bireyin geçmiş tecrübelerinden anılarını hatırlamasını içeren çok yönlü bir süreçtir. Anımsamak hayatın son buluşunu göz önünde bulundurarak, normal sürdürülen yaşamı gözden geçirme sürecinin bir bölümüdür. Anımsama yalnızca geçmişte yaşanan olayların ve tecrübelerin hatırlanması değildir. Bireyin hayatına odaklanarak tekrardan değerlendirme, yaşamın anlamını bulma ve bireyin eski baş etme yöntemlerini içeren yapılandırılmış bir süreçtir.Yaşlanan toplumla birlikte hemşirelerin hizmet alanında daha fazla yer alan yaşlıların, sağlığını ve yaşam kalitelerini geliştirecek ve devam ettirecek hemşirelik girişimlerinin gelişimine ihtiyaç vardır. Hemşirelik Girişimleri Sınıflamasında (NIC), anımsamaya yönelik hemşirelik girişimleri ele alınmaktadır. Anımsama temelli aktiviteler, yaşlıların yaşam kalitesini yükseltmede pozitif bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada anımsama kavramı analiz edilerek, bu kavrama açıklık getirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Anımsama kavramı, Walker ve Avant’ın 8 basamaktan oluşan kavram analizi yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Anımsama bireyin hayatına odaklanarak tekrardan değerlendirme, yaşamın anlamını bulma ve bireyin eski baş etme yöntemlerini içeren yapılandırılmış bir süreçtir. Yaşlı birey yaşlanmanın getirdiği güçlükler ile baş etmek zorunda kaldığında, anımsama faaliyetlerinin içeriği yaşlının bu güçlüklerle başa çıkabilme yeteneklerini önemli derecede etkileyebilmektedir. Bu kavramın anlamının tüm boyutlarıyla ele alınarak doğru anlaşılmasının sağlanması bütüncül hemşirelik bakımının verilmesinde yol gösterici olacaktır.
