Authors: Elliott Carol , Starr Lydia
Published: December 2023

The pest plant Persicaria chinensis (Chinese knotweed) is an unwanted organism under the Biosecurity Act 1993 and is listed on the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Official New Zealand Pest Register (ONZPR). Chinese knotweed is currently managed through a species-led eradication programme in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. In Aotearoa / New Zealand it is believed Chinese knotweed is spread by vegetative means; however, little is known about the viability of the seeds and their role in distribution. This study examined the viability of Chinese knotweed seeds in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Sixteen fruit were used in a simple germination test that was set up to determine viability of the seeds. The results showed that the seeds are viable and under ideal conditions the seeds will germinate. Locations in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland are mostly evidenced as human induced; however, there is circumstantial evidence that suggests dispersal by birds may also be likely.

Published: December 2023

Neste trabalho foram realizadas simulações de um leito fluidizado, com altura da coluna de 0,9 m e diâmetro de 0,09 m, com uso da técnica de CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) para observar o comportamento fluidodinâmico do leito de partículas e obter os principais parâmetros de projeto do mesmo, como velocidade mínima de fluidização (Ufm), queda de pressão mínima de fluidização (∆Pmf ) e porosidade do leito (ε). O modelo empregado na interação entre fases é baseado na descrição Euleriana (contínuo) de ambas as fases, e consiste num conjunto de equações de conservação de massa e momento para cada uma destas. Para descrever o comportamento das muitas partículas em um contínuo foi utilizada a teoria cinética do escoamento granular. Nesta teoria, as colisões são o principal mecanismo de transporte nas propriedades da fase particulada. Para a verificação das simulações, os resultados obtidos foram comparados com dados experimentais de Souza (2013) e modelos encontrados na literatura, para a velocidade de Mínima Fluidização, apresentando boa concordância com os dados experimentais. Desta forma a técnica de CFD destaca-se como uma boa ferramenta de avaliação do funcionamento e da verificação da eficiência do equipamento usado em processos químicos e industriais.

Published: December 2023

SARS-CoV-2 has been infrequently isolated from conjunctival swabs; it is associated with ocular manifestations, including conjunctivitis, blurred vision, dry eye, and hyperemia in patients with confirmed COVID-19. In some cases, ocular manifestations may be the first and only symptoms of COVID-19 related to the greater severity of the systemic disease. According to the eye manifestations, physicians have prescribed different medications. For example, drugs such as azithromycin eye drops, dexamethasone, moxifloxacin, and ganciclovir ophthalmic gel have been used for the treatment of conjunctivitis. The role of ophthalmologists in the prevention and screening of COVID-19 is highlighted due to the ocular manifestations. The most common ocular symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection, treatment, and potential side effects of drugs utilized to combat these complications are reviewed in this article.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Angiography stands as the paramount and definitive diagnostic method for coronary artery disease. However, akin to various other invasive procedures, it may carry a multitude of complications. This study sought to assess the incidence of vascular complications post-arterial sheath removal, comparing the use of a ClampEase device against manual compression. Methods: This quasi-experimental clinical trial involved patients undergoing angiography at the post-angiography ward in Isfahan, Iran. A total of 91 patients were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to either the manual compression or ClampEase device groups. Monitoring common vascular complications like hemorrhage, hematomas, and ecchymosis occurred up to 24 hours post-arterial sheath removal. Data were collected using a digital scale model DM3, a transparent flexible ruler, and a questionnaire named ‘vascular complications after angiography.’ Analysis was performed using SPSS software version 13. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that, when compared to the manual method, compression with the ClampEase device led to fewer vascular complications in patients and a quicker return to homeostasis. Conclusion: The findings underscore that the ClampEase method is a safer alternative with fewer vascular complications than the manual compression method. This discovery has implications for reducing hospital costs and length of stay. The ClampEase device is associated with a swifter time to hemostasis, contributing to enhanced patient comfort and acceptance.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Infant colic, causing excessive crying, poses anxiety for parents and a challenge for pediatricians and nurses. The Infant Colic Scale (ICS) serves to assess the severity and causal factors of colic. Despite its significance, the psychometric properties of ICS have not been evaluated in the Iranian population. This study seeks to address this gap by assessing the psychometric properties of ICS in Iran. Methods: A sample of 220 mothers with 2–16-week-old term infants diagnosed with infantile colic was selected through convenience sampling. Following forward and back-translation, the face validity, content validity, and construct validity of ICS were systematically evaluated. Reliability was examined through both internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test-retest stability methods. Results: Content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) values for ICS were 0.94 and 0.81, respectively. The good fit indices confirmed the validity of the five-factor structure. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were 0.71 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusion: The Persian version of ICS is a valid and reliable tool, suitable for assessing infantile colic in the Iranian population. Future studies and clinical practice can utilize this tool to identify major causes of this disorder in the Iranian context.

Authors: Özdemir Özcan , Kaya Yunus , Adagide Simla
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Nursing students often experience stress due to their educational demands and developmental stage. This study focuses on nursing students to investigate the relationship between their attitudes toward seeking psychological help and their levels of perceived self-stigma and social stigma. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study, in which 791 nursing students participated through convenience sampling between April and May 2022. Data were collected using the Attitude Towards Seeking Psychological Help Scale-R (ASPH-R), the Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help (SSRPH), and the Self-Stigma of Seeking Help (SSOSH). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The article adheres to the STROBE checklist in its organization and presentation. Results: Positive attitudes towards seeking psychological help were negatively correlated with self-stigma (r=-0.39, P<0.01) and social stigma perceptions (r=-0.17, P<0.01), while negative attitudes were positively correlated with self-stigma (r=0.50, P<0.01) and social stigma (r=0.47, P<0.01). Variables of sex, age, self-stigma, and social stigma significantly contributed to explaining attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Conclusion: Social stigma and particularly self-stigma significantly influence nursing students’ attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Therefore, it is recommended that authorities develop psychoeducational interventions aimed at enhancing nursing students’ mental health awareness and reducing self-stigma.

Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method based on the application of a photosensitive agent and the administration of light irradiation on the treated samples. PDT is applied as an effective tool with minimal side effects against tumor tissues. This study aimed to assess the targets of critical genes by PDT at the cellular level of cancer to provide a new perspective on its molecular mechanism. Methods: To assess the effect of PDT, we extracted the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the gene expression profiles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with PDT from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The queried DEGs were evaluated via a regulatory network and gene ontology enrichment to find the critical targets. Results: Among 76 queried significant DEGs, 27 individuals were interacted by activation, inhibition, and co-expression actions. Thirty DEGs were related to the five classes of biological terms. The IL-17 signaling pathway and PTGS2, CXCL8, FOS, JUN, CXCL1, ZFP36, and FOSB were identified as the crucial targets of PDT. Conclusion: PDT as a stimulator of gene expression and an activator of gene activity overexpressed and hyper-activated many genes. It seems that PDT introduces a number of genes and pathways that can be regulated by anticancer drugs to fight against cancers.

Introduction: Dapoxetine is a novel therapeutic agent employed in treating specific diseases. However, its potential impact on renal excretion processes has yet to be thoroughly investigated, necessitating further exploration in this study. Objectives: This research aimed to assess the effects of dapoxetine on renal function and explore any potential disturbances in kidney excretion processes. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 male Albino rats weighing between 200-250 g were utilized. The rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group one served as the control and received a normal diet, while groups two to four were administered dapoxetine through gavage at doses of 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 4 mg/kg, respectively. The study evaluated blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine levels and examined renal pathological changes in the rats. Results: The results demonstrated a significant increase in average BUN levels in group four compared to other groups (P<0.001). For creatinine, group three displayed higher levels compared to other groups. However, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Importantly, no indications of apoptosis, necrosis, edema, hydropic degeneration, or glomerular changes were observed in any of the renal cells from the rat groups. Conclusion: Dapoxetine administration led to changes in BUN and creatinine levels; however, it did not adversely affect the renal cells’ pathological outcomes. These results suggest that dapoxetine could be considered for use in the future treatment of certain diseases, considering its minimal impact on renal function. Further investigations and clinical trials are warranted to corroborate these findings and inform medical decision-making.

Nowadays, there are many cases of sexual orientation deviations such as homosexuality circulating among society. Homosexuals are a minority whose existence, both from a religious and social perspective, is undesirable, so they often receive various forms of rejection in the social, educational or work environment. , the ban on the existence of homosexuals gave rise to a community called homophobia. The emergence of homophobia as a form of society's rejection of the existence of homosexuals is increasingly common in society. People who have sexual deviance problems are very vulnerable to mental health problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem, unhappiness, problems with sexual satisfaction, use of illegal drugs, depression, and even suicide attempts, in contrast to people who have heterosexual orientation who do not have mental problems related to their sexual orientation. Sexual orientation problems experienced by a person are related to personality. This research aims to determine the differences in the big five personality dimensions based on sexual orientation. The subjects of this research are people who have heterosexual and homosexual sexual orientations, where homosexuals are divided into two groups, namely gays and waria. The number of subjects in this study was 30 heterosexual people, 30 gay people and 30 transgender people. The instrument used for data collection is the big five scale. Data were analyzed using the ANOVA analysis technique. The results of this study show that there are no differences in the big five personality dimensions (neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, open to experience and conscientiousness) based on sexual orientation (gay, transgender and heterosexual).

Authors: B Prathima , T Revathi , C Moses , M E Raja
Published: December 2023

Percutaneous injury in health workers is increasing day by day and causing mortality and morbidity to health workers due to infections from bloodborne pathogens. These injuries can occur at any time during the handling disassembling or disposal of needles. The needle stick injury can lead to
life-threatening infectious diseases like HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis c. The majority of healthcare workers didn't have adequate knowledge
regarding needle stick injury prevention and management Hence, a quantitative research approach and pre-experimental one-group pretest and
posttest research were undertaken at Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Nellore. “an Evaluative Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Self-instructional
Module On Prevention Of Needle Stick Injury Among Staff Nurses At Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Nellore” Data was collected from 200 staff
nurses. A nonprobability convenient sampling method was used. A Structured questionnaire was given from 15/09/2022 to 15/11/2022. Data was
analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that the structured teaching program was found to be effective in
increasing the knowledge of the staff nurses with a positive “t” test value (9.88) and expect age no other demographic variables had an association
with knowledge at 0.05 level of signicance. All the staff in a hospital should know about needle stick injuries and their management to prevent the
transmission of blood-borne diseases through needle stick injuries. The study has improved the knowledge of staff nurses which helps them to
apply that knowledge in their practice which reduces the occurrence of needle stick injury. Our unit also reduced the incidents related to the needle
stick injury after receiving the structured teaching Programme and staffs care more about their own and others' health too.

Mono- or combine immunosuppressants are commonly used for psoriasis; however the side effect caused by potent systemic immunosuppressants
frequently incurred; moreover the inammation ares up shortly after immunosuppressants are discon- tinued. An alternative
nonimmunosuppressive therapy was introduced to psoriasis subjects. Aretrospective observational study consisted of 1583 psoriasis patients who
were treated with Herose Psoria capsule 1440 mg three times daily Psoriasis lesion evolution was photographed at monthly visit, and efcacy and
safety were assessed using psoriasis area severity index PASI score grading, renal and liver function testing, and adverse event reporting and
supplemented by information obtained during targeted telephone interviews. The effectiveness of Herose on psoriasis was inversely associated to
prior immunosuppressants exposure , signicant improvements occurred in non-immunosuppressants subjects, and complete clearance was
achieved in 8 months (87.5%, 14 of 16); the wave like evolution of psoriatic lesion appeared in prior immunosuppressants subjects.
FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF INTRA-ARTICULAR FRACTURE DISTAL END OF RADIUS TREATED WITH DORSAL BRIDGE PLATE – A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: T Bendhu , Krishnan Rahul
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Distal radius fractures pose a signicant threat to the intricate mechanics of the human hand, often regarded as the epitome of
dexterity and nesse. Among all fractures, none carry a greater potential to severely impair hand function. This is primarily due to the fact that the
distal radius represents a critical juncture where precious soft tissues envelop the metaphysis of the bone. Dorsal bridge plating emerges as a highly
valuable treatment option for distal end radius fractures, particularly those marked by complex articular and extraarticular fragmentation, where
small, delicate fragments would provide inadequate stability if treated solely with a locking volar plate. The use of a distraction plate not only
facilitates prolonged immobilization spanning the wrist joint without compromising functional outcomes but also mitigates the risks associated
with pin loosening and pin infection commonly encountered with external xation methods. Objectives: The study is a prospective study of
functional outcome of intra articular distal end radius fracture treated with dorsal bridge plate technique. Methods: All the cases of intra articular
distal end radius fracture treated with dorsal bridge plate technique during the time period of one year will be taken for study. Patients were followed
up till 6 months and assessed using Gartland &Werley demerit scoring system. Results: Of the 20 patients enrolled in the study after informed
consent, all fractures united .The average exion and extension was found to be 62 degrees and 62.8 degrees, pronation and supination was 79
degrees and 79 degrees, radial and ulna deviation was 20 degrees and 25 degrees respectively. According to Gartland –Werley scoring system
twelve patients had an excellent result, two had a good result, two had a fair result and two had poor results. One patient had tendon rupture and no
case of post surgical site pain and no cases of infection, tendonitis. Conclusion: Functional outcomes following dorsal bridge plate xation for
distal radius fractures were similar to those published in literatures. Our ndings suggest that this method is safe with minimal complications, and
similar recovery to other methods of distal radius xation is possible with rehabilitation.

Background: Vitiligo is a common form of localized depigmentation, dened as an acquired condition resulting from the progressive loss of
melanocytes. Surgical treatment is indicated in stable disease not responding to medical treatment. Present study was aimed to compare outcome of
autologous noncultured melanocyte suspension versus Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in treatment of stable vitiligo at a tertiary hospital.
Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, comparative, observational study, conducted patients of age > 18 years, either gender,
with vitiligo stable for 1 year, underwent autologous melanocyte transfer or follicular unit extraction. In present study, 24 patients of stable Results:
vitiligo were enrolled. Majority patients were from the age group of 18-25years (62.5 %) & mean age of patients was 26.27± 5.99 years ranging
from 18 years till 45 years. Out of 24 patients, 15 (62%) were females and 9 (37.5 %) were males. There was a positive family history of vitiligo in
16.67 % patients. Majority of the patients (62.5 %) were unmarried. The leucotrichia was seen in 29.17 % patients. Majority of the patients (45.83
%) had involvement of face and neck followed by lower extremity (29.17 %), trunk (12.5 %) and upper limbs (12.5 %). 58.33 % of patients were of
localized type of vitiligo type, followed by acral (29.17%) and segmental vitiligo (12.5 %). Both group AMT & group FUE showed Excellent
response in 66.67 % patches while good repigmentation was seen in both group AMT & group FUE in 33.33 % patches Immediate complications
like secondary infection at Donor site was seen in 1 patient (8.33 %) & late complication like hyperpigmentation was seen in 1 patient (8.33 %).
Conclusion: Surgical methods of treatment for stable vitiligo such as autologous melanocyte transfer or follicular unit extraction, obtained was
excellent & good repigmentation.

Learning depends on many factors, but crucial one is the engagement of the learners. Questioning techniques have been the most common and
effective method for engaging the learner. This qualitative observational study demonstrates the innovative manner of crowdsourcing teaching
–learning (T-L) method of questioning in Biochemistry to improve student's active interaction and self-directed learning. This qualitative study
was done on 152 First Professional MBBS students in a tertiary care center. Short answer questions were collected from the students after coverage
of a subject topic to prepare a question bank for their internal assessment. Feedback on effective perception of the newer T-L technique from
students and faculty were collected by a pre-validated questionnaire. In the present study, majority of the students agreed that self-questioning
technique had a positive inuence on the student's attention in class, doubt clearance, self-reection on learning of the topic and encouraged them to
self-directed learning. Faculty were satised and agreed that students were more interactive. The present study showed that including innovative
methods of teaching-learning and involving students to prepare the questions for their own assessment has been more effective in learning the
subject as compared to the traditional lectures.

Published: December 2023

Warum nennt man eine lange Reise mit nicht geplanten Umwegen eine Odyssee? Weshalb ist es überflüssig, Eulen nach Athen zu tragen? Und wer ist eigentlich dieser Sisyphos, dessen sinnlose Arbeit niemals endet? Die Welt der griechischen Götter und Helden ist uns heute in Vielem noch immer ganz nah und doch oft fremd und unverständlich.
Reiner Abensteins Griechische Mythologie erleichtert den Zugang: Von den Schöpfungsgeschichten über die vielfach verzweigten Mythen bis zu den Geschehnissen des Troianischen Krieges und den Irrfahrten des Odysseus werden alle wichtigen Gestalten und Erzählungen des Alten Griechenlands übersichtlich und im Zusammenhang dargestellt. Exkurse zu Nebenfiguren und unbekannteren Episoden ergänzen die Ausführungen. Ein Glossar erläutert schwierige Begriffe.
Gender - Sprache - Stereotype
Authors: Elsen Hilke
Published: December 2023

Sprache wirkt sich auf das Denken und Handeln aus und transportiert Rollenbilder.
Der Band erläutert die vielfältigen Ursachen von Geschlechterstereotypen und zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, in Lehr- und Lernsituationen oder bei der Beurteilung von Kindern gendersensibel zu agieren. Sein Fokus liegt auf der Sprache: Sie behandelt die Geschlechter nicht gleich, sondern transportiert Geschlechterstereotype, ihr Gebrauch beeinflusst unser Denken, unsere Wahrnehmung und unser Handeln. Lehrkräften und Betreuungspersonen hilft der Band, diese Zusammenhänge zu erkennen und bietet Anregungen für einen gendersensiblen Umgang in Kita, Schule oder Universität.
Die Neuauflage berücksichtigt neue Studien und Entwicklungen besonders zu gendersensibler Sprache sowie trans- und intersexuellen Lebensformen.

Published: December 2023

The complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg (II) and Pt(II)were prepared from the complexation reaction between the new Schiff base ligand and Selected Metal Ions. Ligand was derived  from the condensation  reaction of Oxo(4-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl) methyline, 4-amino  antipyrine, and  6-amino pencillic acid ). The ligand and its complexes  were characterized by C.H.N elemental analysis, Uv-Vis, FT-IR, and molar conductivity, Atomic absorption, magnetic moment measurements and mass spectra studies. The results of this studies show the coordination sites for the ligand with the metal ion were to be through oxygen, nitrogen atoms of 6-amino pencillic acid, and the nitrogen atom of 4-amino  antipyrine. The complexes were found to have the general formula [(M)(L)2]Cl2 where M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Hg(II), and Cd(II), except the [Pt(L)Cl]Cl. The electronic spectral and magnetic measurement data indicated that the complexes exhibited octahedral geometry, except the Pt(II) complex suggested a square planar geometry around the central metal ion. The ligand forms shape as natural tridentate manner. The biological activity results showed the inhibitory effect for platinum(II) the complex. In this study the cytotoxicity of Pt(II) complex on human colon cancer cell line LS 174 T CRC was investigated and  African green monkey kidney cells normal cells were MTT assay. The metal complexes showed selective cytotoxicity against colorectal, this metal Complex excelled in halting proliferation of LS 174 T CRC cancer cells line with median inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of Pt(II) complex. The results indicate undoubtedly the possibility of using them as antitumor drugs in the field of pharmacy colon cancer.
