Authors: Pramoda Radityo , Apriliani Tenny
Published: November 2019

Definisi nelayan kecil sebagai sebuah kebijakan publik memiliki arti penting, ketika dihadapkan pada keinginan pemerintah mengelola wilayah perikanan nusantara secara baik dan berkeadilan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji ukuran kapal yang tepat dalam definisi nelayan kecil. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif yang dijabarkan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ukuran kapal yang paling tepat digunakan nelayan kecil adalah ≤ 5 Gross Tonnage/GT. Adanya perbedaan satuan volume kapal untuk definisi nelayan kecil dalam UU No. 45/2009 dan UU No. 7/2016, juga memberikan dampak terhadap: 1) rujukan UU yang harus diacu; 2) kewenangan perizinan kapal (dikaitkan UU No. 23/2014); 3) wilayah penangkapan ikan; 4) kemampuan memperoleh hasil tangkapan (teknologi); 5) tata administrasi pencatatan kapal. Rekomendasi yang harus diupayakan pemerintah ialah menyamakan ukuran kapal dalam salah satu rumusan teks definisi nelayan kecil dengan merivisi UU No. 45/2009 atau UU No. 7/2016.Title: A Legal Study on Vessel Size Policy Within The Definition of Small Scale FisherThe definition of small scale fisher plays a vital role in public policy, especially as the government attempts to establish a well and fairway managing its national fishery area. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate vessel size for small fisher definition. Data were analyzed using a normative juridical method and were described in a narrative description. The results suggest that the most appropriate vessel size for the small scale fishers is less than 5 Gross Tonnage/GT. The difference in unit usage between Constitution No. 45/2009 and Constitution No. 7/2016, has also made impacts towards several aspects, such as: 1) which constitution to refer to; 2) vessel authorization licensing (refer to Constitution No. 23/2014); 3) fishing area; 4) ability to catch fishes (technology); 5) administrative procedures for vessels’ recording. Therefore, based on these findings, this study recommends the government to equalize the size of the vessel in at least one of the text that defines small fisher, either Constitution No. 45/2009 or Constitution No. 7/2016.
Practices of coexistence and coexistence in Wayúu children: an analysis of your particular games/Prácticas de convivencia y coexistencia en niños Wayúu: un análisis de sus juegos particulares
Authors: Yáñez Canal Humberto , Ferrel Ortega Fernando Robert , Vidal Gómez Amparo Carolina , Blanco Torres Yenifeth Omira
Published: November 2019

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar las prácticas de convivencia y coexistencia social de la comunidad Wayúu, practicadas mediante sus juegos infantiles tradicionales. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, de tipo descriptiva, modalidad de “Análisis de una experiencia particular”. Participaron niños escolares de 6 a 12 años de edad. Se aplicó la “Matriz de observación y registro de las conductas de convivencia manifiestas por niños wayuu en sus juegos infantiles”, diseñada por los autores. Se encontraron tres juegos tradicionales que generan convivencia y coexistencia en la comunidad: la Wayuunkerra, El choocho y El toco; pero son los juegos propios de su comunidad como Wayuunkerra y Jirokainay, los que generan más conductas de convivencia que los juegos occidentales adoptados.

Authors: Freydell Montoya Guillermo Alberto
Published: November 2019

La configuración de identidad es uno de los aspectos que permite caracterizar al sujeto para evidenciar los efectos en los procesos de formación. Narrativa y cuerpo vivido podrían ofrecer elementos, tanto, en la configuración de la identidad del sujeto, como, posibilidades formativas que amplían los dominios de significación y acción. El artículo de reflexión establece un diálogo entre Ricoeur y Merleau-Ponty, a partir de, temporalidad, esquematismo, historias y palabras en estado nacientes, y la vida como texto. Estas dimensiones contribuyen a configurar la identidad del sujeto como proyecto abierto y continuo de formación.

Published: November 2019

Una de las principales preocupaciones de los profesores tiene que ver con el bajo rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.  Lograr identificar el origen de la dificultad es todo un reto por eso se analizan las funciones ejecutivas (FE) por ser ellas de gran utilidad y uso para el aprendizaje.  Este estudio contó con una muestra de 30 estudiantes escolarizados con bajo rendimiento académico, a los cuales se les evaluaron las FE a través de las pruebas TMT, test de fluidez verbal y test de tarjetas de Wisconsin.  El bajo rendimiento académico se identificó a través de la historia académica.  Es un estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, tipo descriptivo – transversal y correlacional.  La mayoría de los participantes tuvieron un desempeño por debajo de la media y desviación estándar en el test de cartas de Wisconsin en la medida errores, así como en el FAS fonológico y en el TMT parte B con algunas diferencias no significativas identificadas por edades en otras medidas de las pruebas.  Existe relación estadísticamente significativa entre el automonitoreo y autocorrección y las FE: diseño de planes y programas y resolución eficiente de problemas en los participantes. También hay relación entre la edad y el desarrollo de la capacidad de resolución eficiente de problemas, así mismo con la capacidad de automonitoreo y autocorrección.  A mayor diseño de planes y programas, mayor resolución eficiente de problemas. Existe necesidad de estudiar otras variables que incidan en el rendimiento académico de escolares. La rehabilitación cognitiva de las FE, ayudará en el logro escolar.

Authors: Williams Sarah , Clark Shannon , Humiston Sharon , Pahud Barbara , Middleton Donald , Lewis Kadriye O.
Published: November 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Vaccine education for pediatric and family medicine residents is inadequate. Implementation of evidence-based instructional design methods for medical education is understudied. We conducted four focus groups with residents who had completed a novel immunization curriculum to explore their satisfaction with design, content and impact on confidence. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Overall satisfaction with the curriculum was high. Residents valued the interactive design and content, reported improvement in confidence in discussing vaccines with parents, and shared recommendations for future iterations of the modules. Technical challenges were reported with the learning management system. Medical education modules developed using best practices in instructional design were well-liked by trainees and future modules should be developed using these principles.

Authors: ALP Çağlar , KARADENİZ Muhammed , SARAK Taner , DEMİR Vahit
Published: November 2019

Amaç: Akut koroner sendrom olgularında kardiyovasküler
risk faktörleriyle, ciddi darlığa neden olan koroner arter sayısı arasındaki
ilişki değerlendirildi.

Yöntemler: Bu çalışma retrospektif olarak dizayn edildi. 2016–2018
tarihleri arasında akut koroner sendrom sebebiyle koroner anjiografi yapılan
904 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Ciddi koroner arter darlığı olmayan ve koroner
operasyon geçiren hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Hastalar kritik koroner
arter darlıklarına göre tek damar hastalığı (TDH) ve çok damar hastalığı (ÇDH) olacak
şekilde iki gruba ayrıldı. ÇDH ile TDH olanlar klasik kardiyovasküler risk
faktörleri açısından karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Hastaların 544’ünde (%60) ÇDH 365’inde (%40) TDH
saptandı. ÇDH olan grupta yaş, hipertansiyon ve diyabet mellitus istatistiksel
olarak daha fazla saptandı (sırasıyla p<0.001, p=0.003, p=0.005). TDH olan
grupta ise erkek cinsiyet, aile öyküsü ve sigara içiciliği istatistiksel olarak
daha fazla saptandı (sırasıyla p=0.006, p<0.001, p<0.001).

 Sonuç: Diyabet ve hipertansiyon ÇDH grubunda yüksek saptanırken aile
öyküsü ve sigara içiciliği TDH grubunda yüksek saptandı. Akut koroner sendrom hastalarında bu risk faktörlerin
göz önünde bulundurulması önemlidir.

Authors: BAKIRCI Mustafa , KAYIKÇIOĞLU Fulya , KINAY Tuğba , MORALOĞLU TEKİN Özlem
Published: November 2019

Objective: As a result of births in hospital instead of homes,
antenatal education programs have been developed with the aim of preparing
women for birth. The effect of antenatal education on pregnancy outcomes and
birth process has not yet been fully clarified. The aim of the presented study
was to evaluate whether antenatal education affects the maternal and perinatal
outcomes in nulliparous women.Material
and Methods: In this
retrospective case-control study, medical
records of 513 low-risk nulliparous women who gave birth between January 2010
and December 2016 at a tertiary care centre were reviewed. 85 women with
antenatal education were included in the case group and 428 women who did not
participate in the education program were included in the control group. The
demographic, clinical characteristics, maternal and perinatal outcomes of
groups were compared.Results:
Mean age of
women (26.0±4.4 vs. 23.5±4.4; p<0.001), history of abortion rate (5.9% vs.
0%; p<0.001) were higher and caesarean
section rate (11.8% vs. 25.5%, p 0.006) was lower in women with antenatal
education than in the control group. Caesarean indications, length of labour stages, episiotomy rates of women with
vaginal delivery, postpartum complication rates, and perinatal outcomes of
groups were similar.

Conclusion:
Antenatal
education was associated with lower caesarean birth rates. There was no effect
of antenatal education on the other maternal and perinatal outcomes.
Identification of lactic acid bacteria and determination of selected biochemical properties in emasi and emahewu
Authors: Simatende Protus , Siwela Muthulisi , Gadaga Tendekayi H.
Published: November 2019

Fermented foods are produced at household level for personal consumption in the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). In this study, we determined the biochemical aspects, enumeration, isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in emasi and emahewu – two Swazi traditional fermented foods. Emasi had an average pH of 4.68, titratable acidity of 0.9% and LAB count of 8.25 log CFU/mL. Emahewu had a pH of 3.62, titratable acidity of 0.4% and LAB count of 8.10 log CFU/mL. The LAB counts were consistent with observations for similar African fermented foods. The LAB from emasi and emahewu were identified through Gram stain, catalase reaction, sugar assimilation tests using API 50 CH test strips, and sequencing of 16S rDNA. It was found (from nine isolates) that Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the common strains in emasi. Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei and Lactobacillus brevis were also detected. Lb. plantarum, L. mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lb. brevis, Wessella confusa, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lb. lactis were found in emahewu (from 16 isolates). This finding was consistent with LAB found in a South African fermented milk, in which common genera were Leuconostoc, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus. Strains found in emahewu – mainly Lactobacillus spp., Weissella and Enterococcus – are similar to those found in ting, a South African fermented non-alcoholic beverage.
Significance:

This study provides the first documentation of microbial and biochemical aspects of the Swazi traditional fermented foods, emasi and emahewu.
Poultry and cattle manure effects on sunflower performance, grain yield and selected soil properties in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Authors: Mokgolo Matome J. , Mzezewa Jestino , Odhiambo Jude J.O.
Published: November 2019

The application of organic manures as alternatives to reduce the use of mineral fertilisers is considered a good agricultural practice for smallholder farmers. However, the effect of organic manure on soil properties and crop yield depends upon its application rate and its chemical composition. A field experiment was carried out during the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons at the University of Venda experimental farm (Limpopo Province, South Africa) to determine the effect of three organic manures (cattle, poultry and their 1:1 combination, 20 t/ha) on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) performance, grain yield and selected soil properties under rainfed conditions. Poultry manure produced the highest final infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration followed by cattle manure, their combination and the control in that order. Total nitrogen, calcium, and zinc were significantly different between treatments in the first season while potassium, sodium, and zinc were significantly different in the second season. Manure combination and poultry manure produced the highest organic carbon and available phosphorus, respectively, in both seasons compared to other treatments. Organic manure application had a significant (p<0.05) effect on dry matter, plant height and stem girth at all growth stages in the second cropping season but only in the flower bud stage for both parameters in the first season. Manure application in the second season resulted in an increase in the grain yield compared to the first season, except after application of poultry manure whereafter the grain yield decreased significantly by 168% from the first cropping season. The application of organic manure had a significant effect on sunflower grain yield, dry matter, head dry matter, plant height and stem girth throughout all growing stages in the second cropping season with poultry manure producing the best values.

Significance:

Application of the three organic manures served as a good source of organic amendments for improvement of plant nutrients and selected soil properties.

Based on the results of this study, poultry manure can be recommended as the first choice among the manure used for local smallholder farmers, especially under evenly distributed rainfall.

Munkanélküliség és az állam tértermelése Magyarországon két válságidőszakban
Authors: Czirfusz Márton
Published: November 2019

A tanulmány az 1929–33-as és a 2008-as gazdasági válság során vizsgálja az állam munkahelyteremtő politikáit Magyarországon. A materialista államelméletek alapján az államot olyan gazdasági szereplőnek fogom fel, amely biztosítja a tőkefelhalmozást és a társadalmi újratermelés feltételeit. Ennek révén az állam tereket és léptékeket is termel, a tér- és léptéktermelésben pedig a válságidőszakok fordulópontot jelentenek. Mindkét válságidőszakban közös, hogy az állam aktívan igyekezett helyreállítani a tőkefelhalmozás folyamatát a gazdasági életbe való közvetlen beavatkozással, többek között a munkanélküliséget csökkentő közberuházások és a közfoglalkoztatási program segítségével. Szintén közös pont, hogy a beavatkozásoknak költségvetési korlátai voltak. Különbség, hogy az 1930-as évek közvetlen munkahelyteremtő programjai inkább a városi terekre összpontosultak, míg a 2008 utáni válság során az állam a vidéki térségekben a közfoglalkoztatási program átszervezésével igyekezett a munkanélkülieket helyben tartani és számukra a társadalmi újratermelés minimumfeltételeit biztosítani. Az állam léptéktermelésében azonosság a két válságidőszak során, hogy a központi állam szoros pénzügyi kontrollt gyakorolt a megyei és települési szint felett: a központi állam egyedi elbírálás alapján, a központi költségvetésből nanszírozott különböző beruházásokat vagy munkahelyeket teremtő programokat. A központi állam feletti lépték a programok lehetséges nanszírozásában játszott szerepet: a külföldi kölcsönökkel újabb beruházásokat lehetett beindítani az 1930-as években, míg 2008-at követően részben az európai uniós források szolgálták a munkahelyek megőrzését.
Az állam szerepe a „közterek hanyatlásában” – történelmi perspektívában
Authors: Sági Mirjam Cecília
Published: November 2019

A tanulmány a kritikai földrajz által meghatározott köztér-militarizáció és az ezáltali köztérhanyatlás jelenségét vizsgálja történeti perspektívában, kiemelve az állam szerepét, Magyarország és elsősorban Budapest kontextusában. A történetiséget azért találtam fontosnak, mert bár az angolszász irodalom által tárgyalt köztér-militarizációs tendenciák jellemzik Budapest utcáit is, a köztér hanyatlásának elmélete azt feltételezi, hogy valaha létezett olya köztér, ami korábban demokratikusabb volt. A nemzetközi irodalom áttekintése során a köztér jelentésével, és a köztér militarizációjával, hanyatlásával foglalkozom. A második fejezet első részében elsősorban magyar kontextusban vizsgálom az állam szerepét a köztér és a magántér vonatkozásában, majd a második és a harmadik alfejezetben a vonatkozó szakirodalom mellett Papp Gábor Zsigmond archív felvételeket tartalmazó összeállításának a Budapest Retro-nak és a Budapest Főváros Tanácsa tanácsülési jegyzőkönyveit használom az elemzéshez.
ADVANTAGES OF IMPLEMENTING TRAINING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE MILITARY EDUCATION SYSTEM
Authors: Okhramovych М. , Sokolina O.
Published: November 2019

Opportunities and perspectives of the use of distance learning technologies (DLT) in the process of professional training of military experts are considered in the paper. DLT allows to carry out educational process at a distance without losing its quality. DLT even improves quality due to individualization, active teaching methods, bilateral interaction between teacher and student (cadet). The distance learning form will be considered as an additional system that is used to supplement the academic disciplines taught by the Secondary Schools for applicants’ education in full-time education. The main aim of the using distance learning technologies at the Secondary School is providing students with access to electronic educational resources through the using modern information technologies and telecommunication networks. The educational process in distance learning for a cadet have to include all the main forms of the traditional organization at the educational process: lectures, seminars and practical classes, laboratory workshops, control system, research and independent work. All these forms of organization of the educational process will allow to implement a flexible combination of independent cognitive activity of students (cadets) in with different sources of information, operational and systematic interaction with the course teacher and group work of students (cadets).The advantages of using distance learning technologies in the training of military specialists are various, namely: flexibility, modularity, technological approach, increase motivation and self-motivation of students, new role of the teacher.The process of using remote technology is considered as an integral part of the assessment of the quality education and information during the educational process. The new possibilities of practical application of remote technologies in the organization educational process in the Secondary School are formulated in this paper.
Design Developer Competition in Stockholm
Authors: Rönn Magnus
Published: November 2019

This case study examines a developer competition held in Stockholm in 2013-2014 organized by the municipal government. The objective was to develop good and affordable housing for young citizens. Fifteen design teams took part in the competition. The jury compared two different proposals in the final evaluation: one with separate rooms linked to a collective space and one that consisted of small housing units. This sorting of design proposals in two main categories had a major impact on the judging in the competition. The jury declared the solution with small housing units as the winner, which reinforced the overall category as the appropriate direction for the design solution.

There are three typical key players in the competition: the organizer, the jury, and the design teams. The organizer was responsible for the objective and terms presented in the brief. The jury was responsible to assign a winner. Architects, builders, and developers responded to the task by organizing design-teams and producing architectural design solutions. They had to understand affordability as both cost (rent level) and architectural design (area-effective apartments).

The competition in Stockholm was investigated in a case study. Research data was collected from archives and through questionnaires answered by jury members and design teams. Methods used for analyzing documents and design solutions were close reading and architectural criticism.

Twenty-two architectural students studied the competition in a course. In this case study, I compare how the professional jury evaluated the proposals to jury reports from the students focusing on innovative solutions. The professional jury and the student juries used the same criteria for judging but appointed different winners. The students preferred the solution with collective living. One explanation for this difference can be found in the structure of the evaluation process.

The results of the study can be summarized in ten conclusions that deal with sorting and ranking of design proposals, criteria for judging, marketing of the competition, uncertainty and knowledge, motives for competing, innovation, and the competition as a tool for the political ambition of the public organizers. The result produced new knowledge. There are few studies focusing on developer competition as the production of design proposals and architectural quality.
Algorithms and the near future of design
Authors: Mills Euan
Published: November 2019

Introduction by Silvio CartaIn this article Euan Mills, who co-leads the Plantech programme at Connected Places Catapult, reflects on the changes of the design, planning and construction industries. The Connected Places Catapult is a centre devoted to the development and advancement of innovation in cities supported by the UK government. In this multidisciplinary team, planners, urban designers and many other experts collaborate with the public and private sectors, informing the design and construction industries as well as influencing policy-makers. In recent years, Euan and colleagues have been particularly active in engaging with academics, designers and the public in devising new ways in which the planning system in the UK can be improved and updated taking full advantage of new digital technologies and computational approaches to design increasingly available today. Under the title of Plantech (Connected Places Catapult 2019), Euan and colleagues are promoting a new planning agenda whereby in a near future urban data, people's input and the regulatory system can converge into a seamless framework. Not only this would significantly simplify the planning system and the relationship that residents have with planning authorities and designers but, more importantly, it will synchronise some of the workflows that characterise urban planning and permissions (often with scanned version of old documents, historical paper archives etc.) with the digital assemblage of big data that is the fabric of our cities today.
Edukacja muzyczna − w stronę współczesnej kultury
Authors: Grusiewicz Mirosław
Published: November 2019

Artykuł porusza kluczowe dla oświaty zagadnienie aktualności oferty edukacyjnej, kompatybilności szkoły ze światem społecznym, nauki, kultury i sztuki, w tym przede wszystkim zwraca uwagę na konieczność uwzględniania w edukacji muzycznej zmian jakie zachodzą we współczesnej kulturze. Zaprezentowane tezy i wnioski opierają się na przeświadczeniu, że obecna transformacja kulturowa jest zjawiskiem trwałym. Dokonała się one głównie za sprawą nowoczesnych technologii, mediów i powinnością szkoły i edukacji muzycznej jest uwzględnianie tego faktu zarówno na poziomie koncepcji, programów nauczania, jak i codziennej praktyki. Tekst składa się z dwóch części. W pierwszej, na podstawie analiz z zakresu teorii, socjologii, antropologii i pedagogiki kultury, omówione są elementy, które wydają się kluczowe dla zrozumienia współczesnej sytuacji kultury oraz dla planowania nowych rozwiązań w powszechnej edukacji muzycznej, w tym autor stara się zmierzyć z pewnymi stereotypami i uprzedzeniami w myśleniu o współczesnej kulturze muzycznej. Analiza tych uwarunkowań jest punktem wyjścia do naszkicowania w części drugiej zmian jakie są konieczne w edukacji muzycznej, tak aby mogła ona zaspokajać ważne potrzeby ludzi i mogła realizować istotne cele jakie jej przypisujemy.
Kreatywność projektantów zabawek zatrudnionych w spółdzielniach pracy w okresie PRL a czynniki ją ograniczające
Authors: Wieczorek Maria
Published: November 2019

W 1980 roku Janos Kornai opublikował pracę pt. „Gospodarka niedoboru”. Zdefiniował w ten sposób centralnie sterowaną gospodarkę Komunistyczną. Także w Polskiej Rzeczpospolitej Ludowej, kraju, w którym po II wojnie światowej władzę przejęła Polska
Zjednoczona Partia Robotnicza, brakowało wielu artykułów. Choć osobom żyjącym w czasach PRL w pamięci zapisał się głównie brak podstawowych artykułów spożywczych czy przemysłowych,
także ilość (i jakość) zabawek pozostawiała wiele do życzenia. Brakowało nie tylko tkanin, surowców i innych materiałów potrzebnych do produkcji zabawek, ale także specjalistycznych maszyn i innych urządzeń. Nie było także odpowiedniej ilości wykwalifikowanych pracowników, m.in. z tego powodu w okresie PRL-u nie każde przedsiębiorstwo produkujące
zabawki zatrudniało własnych projektantów. Mimo to w spółdzielniach pracy (bo to właśnie stamtąd pochodziła większość lalek czy
samochodzików, które można było kupić w sklepach czy kioskach ruchu) powstawało wiele ciekawych wzorów. W artykule opisałam zarówno działalność zakładowych wzorcowni i prototypowni,
jak i przywołałam nazwiska projektantów pracujących w przemyśle zabawkarskim.

This research investigated whether negative emotional responses to heavy-metal and hip-hop music could be stereotypes of the music genres. It was hypothesized that heavy-metal and hip-hop music with positive lyrics would be perceived as expressing more negative (negative valence/high arousal) emotions, compared with pop music excerpts with identical lyrics. Participants listened to either two heavy-metal or two hip-hop test stimuli and two pop control stimuli. They then responded by stating what emotion they perceived that the music expressed. Results indicated that heavy-metal and hip-hop stimuli were perceived as expressing more negative emotions than pop stimuli. Lyrics were recognized above chance in both heavy metal and hip hop, suggesting that the negative emotion bias was not a result of misunderstanding the lyrics. The Stereotype Theory of Emotion in Music (STEM) explains the findings in terms of an emotion filter which is activated to simplify emotion perception processing. The conclusions provide a novel way of understanding the cultural and social contribution of emotion in music.
Measuring Stereotypes in Music: A Commentary on Susino and Schubert (2019)
Authors: Anglada-Tort Manuel
Published: November 2019

In this commentary, I first discuss the strengths of the target paper and provide suggestions for future research. I proceed to point out an important limitation of the target study as well as contribute considerations relevant to measuring stereotypes in music. Finally, I present a novel theoretical account to explain music stereotyping, namely, the representativeness heuristic (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974), which I discuss within the broader framework of the behavioral economics of music.
The Influence Machine: A Commentary on Hähnel and Martensen (2019)
Authors: Shanahan Daniel
Published: November 2019

This commentary discusses and contextualizes Hähnel and Martensen's analysis of Edison's recordings and correspondence, situating their study within some of the work done on the diffusion of innovations, and some other work on the history of recording. Their findings–that the mechanical limitations of recording possibly contributed to Edison's distaste for vocal vibrato–is mirrored in much of the work on early instrumental recordings, but whereas the effect for instrumental recordings was an increased vibrato, the solution for vocal recordings was the opposite.

Authors: Godre Neha , Baig Mirza Shiraz
Published: November 2019

Background: Post-operative nausea and vomiting continues to be a common side effect of surgery and anaesthesia, affecting the economics of medical care, as well as the degree of patients’ satisfaction, comfort and quality of life.The objective of the present study were to compare the efficacy and safety of palonosetron versus placebo for prophylaxis of early onset (within 24 hours post-surgery) and late onset (24-72 hours post-surgery) post-operative nausea or vomiting in patients undergoing elective major surgery under general anaesthesia.Methods: A prospective, randomized, parallel group, two arm, double blind placebo controlled trial was conducted on n=100 indoor patients undergoing elective major surgeries were enrolled into the present study.Results: The patients showing complete response were 32 (64%) in palonosetron group and 19 (38%) in the placebo group (p<0.05) in the 0-24 hour time interval. The patients receiving palonosetron showed higher complete response rates in the 0-24 hour and 0-72 hour time intervals. 42 patients (84%) on palonosetron and 30 (60%) on placebo showed complete control of vomiting in 0-24 hour period. Adverse events related to the drug were reported in 5 patients (10%) in palonosetron group as compared to 3 patients (6%) in placebo group.Conclusions: A single prophylactic 0.075 mg IV dose of palonosetron effectively reduced the occurrence and severity of nausea and vomiting and delayed the time to emesis and treatment failure in the early as well as the overall postoperative period of 72 hours.

Background: Vitamin D plays a major role in health. Several health disorders have been associated with its deficiency. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the knowledge of and attitude towards vitamin D of pharmacy and engineering students in the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during February-April, 2018. A 30 questions survey in English was designed, pre-validated and distributed to 250 students. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate and compare student’s knowledge and awareness of vitamin D.Results: 213 participants completed the survey producing a response rate of 85.2%. The majority of students were Arabs, females and of age ranging 21-23 years. Almost all pharmacy students were familiar with many aspects of vitamin D. Unlike engineering (66; 66.6%), most (113; 99.1%) pharmacy students know the meaning of osteoporosis. Knowledge of pharmacy students on vitamin D was generally better than that of engineering students particularly with questions on technical parameters of vitamin D levels and dosage. Students who took vitamin D test were advised by a physician. Most of the students from both colleges have a positive attitude to receive information on vitamin D through brochures, lectures/seminars and workshops.Conclusions: Awareness of non-health sciences and to some extent of pharmacy students seems to be inadequate and efforts are needed to increase awareness of the public in general of the importance of vitamin to health status.

Published: November 2019

Background: Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is an antihypertensive agent. It induces toxicity via the release of cyanide ions, nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species. Manniophyton fulvum (MF) is commonly used in Nigeria due to its therapeutic and nutritional potentials. This study evaluates the phytochemical composition of aqueous extract of MF root and influence in SNP induced oxidative stress in wistar rats.Methods: Gas chromatography was used for determination of the chemical composition of aqueous extract of MF root. Rat liver homogenate was used for determination of rhodanese, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Twenty (20) rats were randomly divided into four different groups comprising five animals (n=5). Control (Group A), Groups B, C, D received 2.5 mg/kg body weight of SNP at intervals of three hours per day by intraperitoneal injection. In addition, Groups C and D received 200 mg/kg body weight of aqueous root extract of MF and 10 mg/kg body weight of Vitamin E respectively for a period of seven days.Results: Flavonoids had the highest composition while allicin had the lowest composition. Diallyl thiosulphinate>methyl allyl thiosulphinate >allyl methyl thiosulphinate. The activity of rhodanese, GSH and MDA concentrations showed that Group B had significant (p<0.05) increase in MDA concentration while GSH showed significant (p<0.05) decrease. Also, the activity of rhodanese showed significant (p<0.05) decrease compared to Group A. However, Groups C and D showed significant increase (p<0.05) in the activity of rhodanese enzyme compared to Group A and Group B. GSH levels of Group C and Group D showed no significant (p>0.05) difference while the MDA concentration showed significant (p<0.05) decrease. Correlation analysis between rhodanese and GSH showed strong significant (p=0.01, r=0.894) positive correlation.Conclusions: It can be deduced that the chemical components of aqueous extract of MF may serve as a pharmacological agent for molecular targets to up regulate detoxification and cytoprotective enzymes. Cellular localization of rhodanese enzyme can be induced by aqueous extract of MF root to collaborate with GSH and promote inhibition of lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidative reactions and up regulate cyanide detoxification in tissues.

Published: November 2019

Background: Drug utilization studies are useful for understanding the pattern of drug use in any particular healthcare set-up. This data gives an insight to improve the medical treatment at different layers in the health system. The oobjective of the present study was to assess drug utilization patterns by using core prescribing indicators of WHO and to assess most commonly observed skin disease in Dermatology out patients department (OPD) of tertiary care hospital.Methods: 246 prescriptions from Dermatology OPD were audited. Common skin diseases and the prescribing patterns were analysed from the prescriptions.Results: Average 2.4 drugs per prescription were seen in this study. 38.7%  drugs were from National Essential Drug List of India. All the drugs were prescribed by brand names. The fixed dose combinations accounted for 20.6% drugs prescribed. Dosage, dose and duration of treatment were written for 100% of prescriptions. Around 44 different skin diseases were diagnosed amongst 246 patients predominantly cutaneous fungal infections, acne, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. About 591 different drugs were used mainly corticosteroids (21%), antibiotics (17%), anti-allergic (16%), antifungals (11%). Common skin conditions receiving corticosteroids were dermatitis (9.9%), eczema (9.1%). Antibiotics (17%), antifungals (11%) and antivirals (1%) were commonly used antimicrobial agents. 55.2% drugs were administered topically while 44.6% received orally.Conclusions: Prescriptions revealed a higher incidence of fungal and bacterial infections. All the medications were prescribed rationally. All prescriptions had proper dosage form, frequency of administration, duration of therapy and diagnosis. However, prescriber should be motivated for prescription of generic drugs and those from essential drug list.

Background: New treatment strategies are attempted to treat the fatal complications of the dengue infection, as significant numbers of adult and children are affected resulting in considerable economic impact. Corticosteroids in various regimens have been used in the last 2 decades empirically on the basis of immunomodulation or treat the vascular leakage that occurs in severe dengue.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among 60 patients who were dengue positive and received treatment from the Department of Medicine at SIMSRC during the period of June-August 2018. The study group (30 patient) was given treatment with intravenous dexamethasone 8 mg initially, followed by 4 mg TID for 3 days. The control group (30 patient) received only IV fluids and antipyretics. The rise in the mean platelet counts over three days was analyzed in both groups were analyzed.Results: The results of this study revealed that after 10-12 hours of initiating steroids in the study group, a higher and early rise of platelet count was achieved.  There was gradual improvement and increase in platelets in 3 days’ duration in all 30 of the patients. The mean platelet count (the primary outcome) in the study group was significant compared with the control group.Conclusions: At present, realistic approaches for the early intervention and proper treatment protocol are required to be developed to prevent high mortality and morbidity due to dengue. The drawback of this study was, it was not a double-blind placebo-controlled trial and there were less number of patients.

Authors: Dhande Priti P. , Kawade S. D.
Published: November 2019

Background: Prescription practices should be good so that they are correctly interpreted and medications are used or administered accordingly. Studies are found usually focusing on WHO prescribing indicators in various healthcare set-ups. This prescription audit study was conducted to analyse the prescription practices in a tertiary care hospital and see the influence of various interventions on these practices.Methods: It was a quality initiative undertaken to retrospectively assess and evaluate the change in the prescription writing practices in the in-patient department of a tertiary care teaching hospital from March 2017 to April 2018. Number of interventions were conducted to meet the compliance of prescription parameters during the study period and prescription parameters was analysed again thereafter for one-year to see the change.Results: An overall increase in compliance of prescription parameters was found from 67.3% in March 2017 to 94.8% in June 2017. Thereafter this was consistently maintained upto 91% during the study period. Most of the prescription parameters were seen to be improved like allergy history taking from 52.2-95.6%; mention of prescriber’s name, sign, registration number from 53.5-86%; consideration to food-drug interaction from 28.7-99.5%.Conclusions: Prescription writing practices were quite poor initially which improved after various interventions were carried out in the study area.
