Authors:   Mindanao University of Science and Technology, Galarpe Van Ryan Kristopher , Parilla Richard
Published: March 2022

Selected heavy metals in leachate and groundwater in Cebu City Sanitary Landfill (CCSL), Philippines were studied. Levels of Pb, Cd, Cr, and Cu in total form were determined by Flame- AAS and Hg by cold vapor AAS. Study commenced on April, May, August, and October of 2010 covering wet and dry seasons. Studied leachate stations exceeded the standards for Pb (0.1968 mg L-1) and Hg (0.14838 mg L-1 ) with risk quotient (RQ) values >1. Groundwater stations exceeded the standard for Pb (0.0371 mg L-1) and Cd (0.0042 mg L-1 ) with RQ >1. It can be inferred that the groundwater adjacent to CCSL was slightly impacted by leachate metal constituents. Therefore, it is recommended that further monitoring would be carried out and the leachate would be contained to protect the groundwater prior to CCSL closure.

Authors: Yun Xuan Ng , Kutty Faridah Mydin
Published: March 2022

Kajian kuantitatif berbentuk tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti trend penggunaan media sosial dan kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal guru pelatih di Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) serta menentukan hubungan penggunaan media sosial terhadap kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal. Sejumlah 279 orang guru pelatih dari IPG Kampus Ipoh telah terlibat dalam kajian ini melalui teknik persampelan rawak mudah. Soal selidik kajian ini diadaptasikan daripada Social Networking Sites Usage & Needs Scale (SNSUN) dan Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (ICCS). Data telah dianalisis secara deskriptif (kekerapan, peratus, min dan sisihan piawai) dan inferensi (Ujian Korelasi Spearman Rho). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa majoriti guru pelatih IPG mempunyai lebih daripada empat akaun media sosial dan aktif dalam mengakses media sosial. Aplikasi WhatsApp, Instagram dan Facebook merupakan tiga aplikasi media sosial yang sering digunakan oleh guru pelatih IPG. Hasil kajian ini turut menunjukkan bahawa kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal guru pelatih berada pada tahap yang sederhana tinggi (M=3.56). Analisis korelasi menunjukkan bahawa tidak wujudnya hubungan antara masa penggunaan media sosial dengan kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal [rs (277)=0.057, p>0.01, N=279]. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa masa penggunaan media sosial tidak berperanan dalam mempengaruhi kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal guru pelatih. Justeru, punca-punca lain yang mempengaruhi kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal guru pelatih penting dikenal pasti pada kajian yang selanjutnya agar penguasaan kemahiran komunikasi interpersonal guru pelatih dapat dipertingkatkan kepada tahap yang optimum.
Aplikasi Model Connoisseurship dan Kritikan Pendidikan Eisner: Kelebihan dan Kekurangannya dalam Penilaian Program Pendidikan
Authors: Agir Norizzathy , Mohd Matore Mohd Effendi @ Ewan
Published: March 2022

Model Connoisseurship dan Kritikan Eisner tidak banyak digunakan dalam menilai sesuatu program pendidikan. Aspek kritikan secara eksklusif, penuh berseni dan ketelitian mendalam berperanan besar dalam membantu aspek penilaian menjadi lebih bermakna. Penghuraian secara tersirat membawa dimensi baru dan mengelakkan aspek cliché. Artikel ini menghuraikan kandungan Model Connoisseurship dan Kritikan Eisner seperti latar belakang, kelebihan dan limitasi model dalam pelaksanaannya. Penjelasan kertas konsep ini menyokong idea untuk menggalakkan lagi pihak berkepentingan dalam sektor pendidikan memilih penilai dan pengkritik yang lebih kompeten kerana tidak semua penilai kompeten menilai secara berseni. Idea di sebalik kupasan ini membawa implikasi untuk menggalakkan perubahan dalam melatih penilai program itu sendiri. Selain itu, kajian lanjut boleh dijalankan dengan membangunkan latihan khas buat penilai yang memenuhi Model Connoisseurship dan Kritikan Eisner. Tiada gunanya model yang mantap seperti ini tetapi tiada ramai penilai yang berkebolehan dalam konteks Malaysia.

Authors: Alcântara Bordignon Michuel Liliane de , Alexandre de Souza Claudio
Published: March 2022

A pandemia de Covid 19 trouxe muitas mudanças socioeconômicas no mundo, A fim de se adequar às essas mudanças, notou-se uma crescente busca da adoção de serviços digitais e inovações, acelerando a revolução tecnológica. Desencadeando uma demanda urgente por profissionais com alta habilidades e competências, inclusive no quesito criatividade. Porém existem bloqueios mentais, e outros fatores que criam percepções equivocadas sobre a criatividade e dificultam o seu desenvolvimento. Foi realizado um projeto, com metodologia pesquisa-ação, com os colaboradores da empresa Encopel Papelaria que buscou analisar se os participantes se consideravam criativos ou não. Se tinham consciência da existência dos bloqueios mentais da criatividade e se, em auto análise, identificavam em si a ocorrência de algum bloqueio. Através do estudo de caso, coleta e análises de dados quali-quantitativos, o artigo visa demonstrar as percepções dos colaboradores sobre a criatividade e fatores que podem prejudicar o desenvolvimento dessa habilidade. A análise dos dados revelou que quase 80% dos participantes desconheciam os bloqueios mentais e quase todos eles identificaram em si a incidência de, pelo menos, um bloqueio mental. O que pode denotar que essa, talvez, seja a razão pela qual quase metade deles não se consideravam criativos. Ou seja, possuíam algum bloqueio ou fator que interfere na percepção de aspectos da criatividade, bem como no seu desenvolvimento. Através das análises teóricas bibliográficas, o artigo visa descrever os conceitos de criatividade e os fatores relacionados ao seu desenvolvimento e importância, principalmente no momento atual.

Resistance training provides many benefits to the older population, and it is considered one of the most effective ways to counter-attack age-related sarcopenia and dynapenia disorders. This article evaluates the impacts of high, moderate, and low training intensities on muscle strength and functional mobility of older adults. A single-blinded factorial design for 12 weeks was conducted among 60 healthy older Malaysian women (>65 years). The authors assessed the Five times Sit to Stand (5STS), the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), and the 6 Minutes Walking Test (6MWT). The participants were randomly divided to the High- Intensity Group (HIT; n=15) (69.60 ± 3.68); Moderate-Intensity Group (MIT; n=15) (69.27 ± 3.41); Low-Intensity Training (LIT; n=15) (69.27 ± 1.94); and Control Group (CG; n=15) (68.67 ± 2.38). In terms of time, there is a statistically noticeable difference in the means of all the variables (p< .001). Moreover, a statistically significant connection between the intervention and time was seen on all the variables (p< .001). However, there was a statistically significant difference between the means of 5STS (P< .001) and TUG (P= .025) in the intervention groups, there was no statistically significant difference observed in 6MWT (P= .90). The results suggested that all of these intensities training are beneficial for improving muscle strength and functional mobility. In addition, the HIT is more effective in improving the 5STS, TUG, and 6MWT, as compared to the MIT, LIT, and CG. These findings revealed that HIT tends to result in greater improvement of muscle strength and mobility.

Published: March 2022

This study investigates the sway of stakeholder integration and green investment on Environmental Sustainability Practices (ESP), as well as the moderating role of Green Technology Adoption (GTA) in Bangladesh Textile small and medium enterprises (SMEs). A questionnaire has been used to collect data from 140 textile SMEs and analysed using the quantitative survey method. The findings have revealed that Buyer Pressure (BP), Governmental regulations (GR), and Green Investment (GI) have significant effects on ESP, but not Supplier pressure (SP). The study has also evidenced the insignificant moderating influence of GTA on the relationships among BP, GR, GI, except SP. This study makes a conceptual contribution by highlighting the relationships among these constructs and confirming the lack of stakeholder integration. The findings of the research extend the understanding and comprehensiveness of Stakeholder theory (ST) and Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) theory by providing empirical insights from the firm level. Consequently, the outcomes promote environmental practices and offer food for thought for policymakers, compliance managers, entrepreneurs, and relevant stakeholders.
Maintenance of Tobacco Abstinence—Effect of Anti-Tobacco Propaganda (Media) Messages
Authors: Kumari Laxmi , Sood Meenakshi , Gupta Sandhya
Published: March 2022

Anti-tobacco propaganda media (television, radio, print media and internet media) messages promote knowledge regarding the ill effect of tobacco on the human body as well as increase the negative attitude towards tobacco. However, their role in maintaining tobacco abstinence is not explored much. This review summarizes the effect of anti-tobacco propaganda (media) messages on the maintenance of tobacco abstinence; the influence of different types of anti-tobacco propaganda (media) messages on tobacco users and non-users. Tobacco users and recent quitters are not benefiting from these anti-tobacco propaganda and media messages. The graphic pictorial warnings were found to have more influence over increasing knowledge, changing attitude, enhancing quit attempts, quit intentions, and motivation to quit. However, it is also noticed that these anti-tobacco propaganda media messages have a boomerang effect on tobacco users. These media propaganda messages sometimes act as a cue for tobacco users and make them relapse. Many studies in the past have shown that these media messages positively impact the quitting process but, again, remained significant to the first attempt only. Hence, these messages have not been found to be very effective in maintaining tobacco abstinence among tobacco users. The exposure and frequency of the anti-tobacco propaganda (media) messages matter. Pro-tobacco advertisements can neutralize the effect of anti-tobacco propaganda messages. Although, anti-tobacco propaganda (media) messages play a crucial role in modifying tobacco-related behaviour.

Authors: Jee Teck Weng , Lau Wee Ming , Kasuma Jati , Kamarulzaman Rashidah
Published: March 2022

This study explores the effect of personal values (individualistic and collectivist values) on consumers’ involvement and attitude towards discount sales promotion. In order to create and test a more parsimonious predictive-based research model, this study used a closed-ended survey and a two-stage technique using partial least square structural equation modelling. The findings imply that individualistic and collectivist beliefs influence consumer involvement and attitude toward discount sales promotions. Furthermore, the findings of this study expand current knowledge on similar sales promotion areas where this study details the effect of personal value (from both the lens of individualistic and collectivist values perspective) on involvement and attitude towards discount sales promotion, as well as the mediating effect of involvement on personal values (individualistic and collectivist values) and attitude towards sales promotion. Understanding the impact of personal values, involvement, and attitude toward discount sales promotion is crucial, according to this study, especially when selecting appropriate strategies for better market segmentation and targeting.
Internet use among tour operators in Ghana: An exploratory study
Authors: Abanga Joseph
Published: March 2022

The introduction of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) in the early 1990’s brought in a new era in communications and transformed the promotion and sales of tourism products. Established web sites by companies have put them in position to carry out productive marketing activities. The current study presents the findings of an exploratory work on the current stage of Internet use among tour operators in Ghana. The study shows that despite the increase in the use of the Internet, Ghanaian tour operators only use it as an additional mode of communication. Currently, the emphasis is still on traditional marketing communication channels such as the print media and telephone. Their websites simply do not possess the interactive features required for Internet marketing. It is recommended that tour operators in Ghana engage in social interactions by creating virtual communities.

Бұл мақалада коронавирусты жұқтырған науқастардың гематологиялық көрсеткіштері мен патологиялары талданады. COVID-19 – гемопоэтикалық жүйеге және гемостазға елеулі әсер ететін жүйелі инфекция. Бүгінгі күні 2019 жылғы коронавирус ауруы (COVID-19) әлем бойынша 100 миллионнан астам адамға әсер етті. COVID-19 әртүрлі ауру тудыратын белгілермен көрінуі мүмкін, олар жеңіл жағдайлардан бастап ауыр медициналық көмекті қажет ететін, өмірге қауіп төндіретін жағдайларға дейін әкеледі. Лимфопенияны болжамдық потенциалы бар түбегейлі зертханалық қорытынды ретінде қарастыруға болады. Нейтрофил/лимфоциттердің арақатынасы және тромбоциттер/лимфоциттердің ең жоғары арақатынасының өзгеруі ауыр жағдайларды анықтауда болжамдық болуы мүмкін. Ең жиі кездесетін гематологиялық белгілерге лимфоцитопения, нейтрофилия, эозинопения, жеңіл тромбоцитопения және сирек тромбоцитоз. Лейкоциттер санының қалыпты, азаюы немесе жоғарылауы болуы мүмкін. Перифериялық қандағы нейтрофилдердің жоғары деңгейі COVID-19 кезінде қолайсыз болжаммен байланысты. Мета-анализге сәйкес, лейкоцитоз, лимфопения және тромбоцитопения COVID-19 жағдайындағы ауырлықпен және тіпті өліммен байланысты. Сол сияқты нейтрофилдер/лимфоциттер мен нейтрофилдер/тромбоциттер арақатынасының жоғарылауы миокардтың зақымдалуын және өлімнің жоғарылауын көрсетуі мүмкін. Сондықтан COVID-19 прогрессиясы мен болжамын бағалау үшін гематологиялық параметрлерді бақылау маңызды.

Published: March 2022

Перед растениеводством Казахстана в XXI веке стоят такие вызовы, как изменение климата, опустынивание, засоление и деградация почв, нехватка поливной воды. В условиях рискованного земледелия эти проблемы дополнительно затрудняют планирование урожая. Выращивание зерновых и овощных культур становится все более рискованными и менее рентабельными сферами бизнеса. В то же время пандемия COVID-19 выявила уязвимость отечественной фармацевтики и показала необходимость развития лекарственного растениеводства. В данной работе показана возможность диверсификации растениеводства Казахстана за счет внедрения в севообороты солодки уральской с широким применением её в качестве фитомелиоративной культуры на вторично засоленных почвах, а также на участках, непригодных для традиционных сельскохозяйственных культур. Дается обзор хозяйственного потенциала солодки для пищевой и фармацевтической промышленности. Описывается собственный опыт внедрения солодки в культуру в условиях умерено засушливой степной подзоны Казахстана. В статье приводятся данные о перспективе возделывания кипрея узколистного в условиях северо-востока Казахстана и его применения в сельском хозяйстве и пищевой промышленности. Показана возможность использования лекарственных растений для производства веников для бани, что может дать дополнительные возможности для агропромышленного комплекса.
Социологическое исследование потребительского поведения: российский опыт
Authors: А. Б. Есимова  , З. Х. Валитова
Published: March 2022

Одной из тем, которая в последние годы получает большую популярность, является изучение потребительского поведения различных социальных групп. Ее изучением занимаются специалисты различных сфер – экономисты, историки, социологи, психологи. Социологические исследования выявляют особенности потребительского поведения, влияние различных факторов на характер потребительского поведения, ее разнообразные аспекты. В данной статье проанализирована тематика, используемые исследовательские методы в российских социологических исследованиях потребительского поведения. Можно отметить, что подавляющее большинство авторов проводят собственные эмпирические исследования и в меньшей степени осуществляют вторичный анализ данных. Тематика исследований довольно разнообразна – покупка одежды, книг, лекарств, на онлайн платформах, в торгово-развлекательных центрах и др. В территориальном разрезе подавляющее большинство социологов ограничиваются проведением исследования в одном регионе. Также можно отметить, что большинство исследователей изучают потребительские предпочтения городских жителей. Во многих работах объектом исследования является молодежь (прежде всего студенческая молодежь). Большинство исследователей применяют один социологический метод и чаще всего это анкетный опрос. Исследования российских социологов показывают, что внутри социальной группы существуют различные модели потребительского поведения.
СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ ИНТЕРНЕТ-КУЛЬТУРЫ
Authors: Tufekcioglu Hayati , Р. Г. Жаябаева  , Г. Ш. Султанова
Published: March 2022

В данной статье речь идет о современном обществе, где ключевую роль играет информация, ее источники и пути распространения. Одним из таких источников информации является интернет. Исследователи анализируют значимость и особенности существования интернет-культуры как важного социального феномена современности. Недавние политические события лишний раз подчеркнули значимость интернета в нашей жизни. Число пользователей всемирной паутины ежегодно увеличивается и не только в нашей стране. В связи с чем встает вопрос изучения и анализа условий и факторов функционирования интернет-культуры. М. Кастельс как ведущий аналитик информационной эпохи пишет о том, что и общественное производство, и интернет определяются культурой, понимая под культурой интернета культуру создателей интернета. Нельзя не упомянуть о потребителях-пользователях, которые не принимают непосредственного участия в совершенствовании Интернета, но их активность оказывает влияние на систему в целом. Современные исследователи опираются на разные подходы и анализируют феномен интернет-культуры с точки зрения философии, социологии, педагогики, культурологии. По этой причине отсутствует единое определение данного феномена и интернет-культуру рассматривают в разных аспектах. Белых И. Н. выделяет 3 основных функции интернета в культуре: кумулятивную, отражающую, формирующую. Ряд других авторов пишут о социологии интернета. Проблема функционирования интернет-культуры актуальна для каждого члена современного общества и требует своего дальнейшего изучения.
DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: D. B. Kaikenov  , E. S. Otar  , A. Zh. Beisenova
Published: March 2022

The article discusses the internationalization of education: diversification and growth of financial income through attracting foreign students to paid education; expansion of curricula and training of their students in foreign partner universities; expansion of the regional network of the university for the effective use of its resources; improving the quality of education and research through the participation of students and teachers in the international process of knowledge exchange, etc. The development of international interuniversity cooperation makes it possible to organize joint research projects, exchange programs for students and teachers, special programs for foreign students. Most modern universities are involved in international activities, but this is usually the simplest degree of internationalization. At a higher level, the internationalization of higher education can be seen as a process of systematic integration of the international component into education,research and social activities of higher education institutions. In this sense, by no means many institutions, even from large centers of academic education, can be considered international in a true sense.
Әлеуметтік зерттеулердегі әлеуметтік-саяси процестерді бағалаудың негізгі тәсілдері

Published: March 2022

Әлеуметтік өзгерістердің күшті факторы – әлеуметтік-саяси процестер болып табылады. Олардың өңірлік және жалпыұлттық ауқымдағы ықтимал деструктивтік серпіні әлеуметтік толқулар, наразылық көңіл-күйлерін белсенді білдіру, олардың әлеуметтік-саяси қақтығыстар, мемлекеттің конституциялық құрылысы мен тұтастығына нұқсан келтіретін әлеуметтік-саяси «жарылыстар» деңгейіне дейін ушығуы қаупі туындайтын қарқындылық пен өткірлікке қол жеткізуге қабілетті. Қоғамдағы және саясаттағы процестер бір-бірін алмастыратын қоғамдық-саяси жағдайлардың тізбегі немесе жиынтығы болып табылады. Қоғамдағы нақты жағдайды білдіре отырып, қоғамдық саяси жағдай қоғамның белгілі бір даму кезеңінің (немесе оның кез-келген сегменттерінің) нәтижесі және сонымен бірге келесі кезеңнің көп немесе аз маңызды оқиғаларының қарсаңында болады. Басқаша айтқанда, қоғамдық саяси жағдай ерекше маңызды құбылыстарды, процестерді, қатынастарды, мемлекеттерді, елдің, аймақтың қоғамдық-саяси өміріндегі оқиғаларды, олардың белгілі бір уақыт аралығында дамуын қамтиды. Әлеуметтік дамуды бағалаудың заманауи тәсілі оның экономика, Әлеуметтік сала және халық сияқты элементтерін жан-жақты қабылдауға негізделген. Бұл әртүрлі әлеуметтік және экономикалық мақсаттардың жиынтығы тұрғысынан қарастырылатын көп өлшемді процесс. Егер біз тек экономикалық даму туралы айтатын болсақ та, ол әдетте әлеуметтік дамумен бірге қарастырылады. Әлеуметтік-экономикалық даму мынадай аспектілерді қамтиды: өндіріс пен табыстың өсуі; қоғамның институционалдық, Әлеуметтік және әкімшілік құрылымдарындағы өзгерістер; қоғамдық санадағы өзгерістер; дәстүрлер мен әдеттердегі өзгерістер.

Importance of Textbook in Curriculum
Authors: Madhubala Maurya
Published: March 2022

A curriculum can be seen from different perspectives. What society’s image as important tutoring and literacy constitutes the" intended" curriculum. Since it's generally presented in sanctioned documents, it may be also called the" written “or" sanctioned" curriculum. Still, at a classroom position this intended curriculum may be altered through a range of complex classroom relations, and what's actually delivered can be considered the" enforced" curriculum. What learners really learn (i.e. what can be assessed and can be demonstrated as learning issues or capabilities) constitutes the" achieved “or" learned" curriculum. To achieve the desired target we seek the help of Textbook. Handbooks are the major source of generalities, ideas and the content for classroom tutoring and literacy. Handbooks are the base for selection of content by the Curriculum preceptors for instruction (English, 1986). Handbooks shape the conditioning of the school teacher and scholars in the classroom. In this paper, I would examine the importance of textbook in Indian curriculum with reference to BSEB (Bihar School Examination Board).

Binocular vision parameters in chronic heavy alcoholics: Short-term outcomes of alcohol detoxification
Authors: Nagaraj Kala , Kamath Vandana , Goyal Aditya
Published: March 2022

Background: Alcohol consumption is rising in developing countries such as India, and alcohol addiction has systemic and ocular impacts. This study aimed to investigate the binocular functions of chronic heavy alcoholics before and after alcohol detoxification.

Methods: A prospective before–after study was designed and conducted at Treda De-Addiction Centre, Bengaluru, India. Males in the age range of 30–40 years who had been alcohol addicts for more than six years and met the inclusion criteria were recruited. We performed a routine optometric examination followed by detailed binocular vision assessment, including accommodative, vergence, and oculomotor tests on the first day of rehabilitation and one month after initiation of rehabilitation.

Results: Twenty-five males with of the age (mean ± standard deviation [SD]) 36.24 ± 4.33 years were evaluated. The pre- and post-detoxification mean ± SD of the monocular (right eye: 5.98 ± 3.50, 6.60 ± 3.49; left eye: 6.18 ± 3.69, 7.10 ± 3.78) and binocular accommodative facility (7.10 ± 3.93, 7.40 ± 4.51) did not change significantly (all P > 0.05). Eighteen (72%) of the participants had non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies (NSBVA), among whom the accommodative infacility and convergence insufficiency were higher in frequency and remained constant after alcohol detoxification. Furthermore, the binocular vision parameters showed no statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-detoxification values (all P > 0.05).

Conclusions: The binocular vision parameters did not change significantly after one month of alcohol detoxification in the chronic heavy drinkers. Most long-term alcoholics had NSBVA with no change after rehabilitation, indicating that short-term alcohol detoxification may not aid in the recovery of binocular parameters. However, further validation is required. Assessing the impact of vision therapy in addition to a longer period of abstinence can confirm or refute the persistence of observed effects of chronic alcohol consumption on binocular functions and NSBVA in this population.
Chitosan-coated contact lens-based ophthalmic drug delivery system to manage Acanthamoeba keratitis: a preliminary hypothesis
Authors: Sadeghi Masoud , Tajzadeh Parastoo , Zarei-Ghanavati Siamak , Arefnezhad Mohsen
Published: March 2022

Background: Acanthamoeba species can cause devastating contact lens (CL)-related microbial keratitis. Its culture is less sensitive, and little evidence is available for the safety or efficacy profile of medications. Therefore, early diagnosis and optimal treatment remain difficult. The aim of this study was to present the hypothesis that a novel chitosan-coated CL-based ophthalmic drug delivery system has therapeutic and prophylactic effects on acanthamoeba keratitis.

Hypothesis: CL-based drug delivery is a popular sustained-release drug delivery that extends the drug release time, thus increasing its bioavailability and treatment efficacy. Chitosan, a derivative of chitin, has antioxidant and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties against fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. It acts against microbial cells; however, whether its mechanism of action is microbiostatic or microbicidal remains unknown. It exhibits wound healing and film-forming properties. Chitosan composite films permit high transmittance of visible light, making it transparent and therefore desirable for the development of CLs. Chitosan/Ag/ZnO blend films exhibit antimicrobial activities. Further, soft CLs coated with chitosan, sodium hyaluronate, polylysine hydrobromide, and sodium alginate show drug delivery properties and reduced bacterial growth. Recently, concentration-dependent anti-amoebic activities of chitosan and nano-chitosan against the trophozoite and cystic forms of Acanthamoeba have been reported. Based on the existing evidence, we hypothesized that a chitosan-coated CL-based ophthalmic drug delivery system could have therapeutic and prophylactic effects on acanthamoeba keratitis or subsequent endophthalmitis.

Conclusions:  CLs or intraocular implants with chitosan-based nanocoatings alone or in combination with routine treatment may be preventive or therapeutic for acanthamoeba keratitis or endophthalmitis. Experimental studies and further clinical trials are required to explore the efficacy and safety profile. Moreover, randomized controlled trials in healthy eyes with soft or hard CLs or orthokeratology lenses for refractive error correction may shed light on the prophylactic effect of this novel drug delivery system. Other forms of ophthalmic drug delivery systems using chitosan-based nanocoatings should be studied additionally.
Causative link between coronavirus disease vaccination and central serous chorioretinopathy: reality or illusion?
Authors: Heidary Fatemeh , Gharebaghi Reza
Published: March 2022

Background: Most COVID-19 vaccines were authorized for emergency use. Despite a large number of vaccines that have been administered, adverse ocular effects have been reported. This paper summarized the reports about central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) following coronavirus disease vaccination.

Methods: In this short communication, we have included relevant publications about CSCR after coronavirus disease vaccination from the beginning of the pandemic until January 2022.

Results: The CSCR occurrence after vaccination has been reported for many years. However, a few studies are available about CSCR after coronavirus disease vaccination. Most cases revealed the development of CSCR within one week of vaccination that subsequently resolved.

Conclusions: The timeline of the CSCR diagnosis developing a few days after vaccination suggests a causative link. However, in view of the millions of administered doses of vaccines along with boosters, the causative link between CSCR and vaccines remains uncertain. Additional studies are needed to confirm a causal claim.
