The spread of covid-19 is a global disaster and worldwide, including in the small area of Tanah Datar Regency. The spread of positive cases in Tanah Datar district is currently increasing rapidly. The government is trying to suppress the growth rate but it does not produce maximum results. This research uses descriptive method with analysis through literature study through various kinds of new theories and journals. This research proves that there must be community collaboration with the government in the sense that the community should take a role in eradicating the Covid-19 case with the aim that the programs that have been planned by the government can run optimally and produce good achievements and be able to reduce the growth rate of the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Zum praktischen Nutzen von Theorie. Ein Dialog über die Grenzen von Bildungspraxis, Erziehungswissenschaft und Soziologie
Authors: Haker Christoph , Otterspeer Lukas
Published: January 2021

Frank Beier, Franziska Wyßuwa und Elisa Wagner diskutieren in ihrem aktuellen Beitrag Fallinterpretationen zwischen Theorieund Anwendungsbezug den praktischen Nutzen wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, insbesondere von Theorie, für die Schule und Erwachsenenbildung. Wir greifen ihre Position in einer dialogischen Replik kritisch auf. Die Form des Dialogs bietet uns die Möglichkeit, unsere Perspektiven als Erziehungswissenschaftler, Lehrer und Soziologe in die Debatte einzubringen. Wir möchten so die eingespielten Grenzziehungen in ‚Theorie- Praxis-Debatten‘ irritieren und Beiers, Wyßuwas und Wagners Plädoyer für die Stärke wissenschaftlicher Theorie ergänzen. Diese Stärke kommt weniger zur Geltung, wenn Theorie Kontingenz schließende und mehr, wenn sie Kontingenz öffnende Effekte hat. Zudem sollte Theorie nicht auf Modelle oder auf Theorien begrenzter Reichweite beschränkt und die konkrete Verwendung von Theorie zum Gegenstand der (Selbst)Reflexion und (Selbst)Kritik werden.

Background: The optimal treatment of radial head component in the terrible triad injuries of the elbow is challenging. In this study, we compared the functional outcome and complication rates of radial head resection with radial head fixation in a terrible triad setting. Objectives: Comparison of radial head resection with radial head fixation in terrible triad. Methods: In the present retrospective study, the outcome of terrible triad injury in 41 patients, in whom the radial head component was managed with either radial head resection (n=28) or open reduction and internal fixation (n=13), was compared. The subjective assessments of the outcome included visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, ‎the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and ‎hand (DASH) score. The objective assessment of outcome included the evaluation of elbow range of motion (ROM) and elbow stability. Results: The mean±SD age of the patients was 39.2±10.2 years. The demographic characteristics of the patients of the two study groups were not statistically different. The mean supination/pronation arc of motion was not significantly different between the two ‏study groups (P=0.11). The mean flexion/extension arc of motion was significantly more in the fixation group (P=0.001). The mean MEPS and DASH scores were not ‏significantly different between the study groups (P=0.22 and P=0.49, respectively). The mean ‏VAS was significantly more in the fixation group (P=0.04). All the elbows were stable at the last follow-up. The postoperative complications (arthrosis and heterotopic ossification) were considerably more in the resection group. Conclusion: Although comparable at function, the present study favors the radial head fixation whenever possible to avoid the postoperative complications of radial head reaction.
A Educação Superior Brasileira à luz de Bourdieu em tempos de COVID-19
Authors: Busquet Leandro Martins Cota
Published: January 2021

Este artigo contribui para a compreensão da educação superior pública do Brasil fundamentado nos pensamentos de Pierre Bourdieu em meio à pandemia de COVID-19. Através de uma análise política é evidenciado a subordinação histórica brasileira aos anseios dos países hegemônicos. Nesse contexto, demonstra que o sistema capitalista tenta manter o seu projeto de sociabilidade enquanto algo inexorável e no ensino superior isso não é diferente. A previsibilidade neoliberal é exposta ao escamotear as suas antigas diretrizes mercadológicas sob um viés falaciosamente mais humanizado. Foram abordadas as medidas de diminuição do contágio pelo vírus através de orientações do Sistema Único de Saúde. Críticas foram realizadas no sentido de levar o leitor a identificar a precariedade das universidades públicas em detrimento do progresso e favorecimento legal do ensino à distância. O artigo conclui que o debate e a construção de um arcabouço teórico-metodológico dialético operacionalizam meios de enfrentamento contra os ataques do sistema neoliberal ao ensino superior público.

Authors: Wang Haoyun , Noland Robert
Published: January 2021

Bikeshare use in New York City dropped substantially during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but by summer of 2020 had largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The patterns of usage, however, have changed. In this study we compare bikeshare trip patterns in September 2020 to September 2019, restricting our analysis to the Borough of Brooklyn in New York City. We focus on user types, time of day, and changes in the origin and destination of trips, based on aggregated land uses surrounding docking stations. Our results suggest a shift toward longer trips and more recreational trips with fewer work-related trips.
A Philosophical Analysis of AI and Racism
Authors: Jones Lel
Published: January 2021

This paper addresses the problem of racism against Latinx and Black people in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and offers possible solutions. This ethical analysis is necessary because with a dramatic increase in the production of AI, the way we use it is critical in eliminating its current perpetuation of racism. I offer evidence of the current perpetuation of racism through AI by analyzing its use in banking and in law enforcement. I argue that the current way we produce and use AI needs to be seriously reconsidered and reinforce this argument with the use of Rawls’ theories of justice.

Küreselleşmeyle birlikte sınırlar arası geçişkenlik artmış ve ticaretin serbestleşmesi kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Söz konusu serbestleşme pek çok ulus ötesi oluşuma da zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu oluşumlardan biri de Rusya, Kazakistan ve Belarus öncülüğünde kurulan Avrasya Ekonomi Birliği’dir. Gerek coğrafi konum, gerek kültürel faktörler ve ekonomik çıkarlar göz önüne alındığında, Avrasya Ekonomik Birliği’nin Türkiye için önemi büyüktür. Çalışmanın amacı, Avrasya Ekonomik Birliği’ni tanıtmak ve Türkiye’nin dış ticaret çeşitlendirmesinde söz konusu birliğin önemini sorgulamaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, 2010-2019 dönemi için birlik üyesi ülkeler ile Türkiye arasında iki yanlı dış ticaret verileri, ihracat ve ithalat büyüme hızları (CGR), bilateral ticarette yoğunlaşma endeksleri (BT), sektörel-bilatarel ticaret yoğunlaşma endeksi (SBT) ve ticaret tamamlayıcılık endeksi (TCI) kullanılarak analiz edilmektedir. Sektörel analizlerde SITC Rev3 2 digit veriler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular dış ticaret politikası açısından değerlendirilmekte ve sonuçta hukuki açıdan AEB’ye üye olması imkansız olan Türkiye’nin, üye ülkelerle belli ürün ve ürün gruplarını kapsayacak şekilde Tercihli Ticaret Anlaşmaları yapmasının dış ticaret çeşitlendirmesi açısından faydalı olabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı özel gereksinimli çocuğa sahip annelerin umutsuzluk düzeyi tanrı algısı ve çocuğunu kabul-ret düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın yöntemi ilişkisel tarama modeli olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma da veri toplama aracı olarak Demografik Bilgi Formu, Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği, Tanrı Algısı Ölçeği ve Ebeveyn Kabul-Red ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada 195 anneden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre özel gereksinimli çocuğa sahip annelerin tanrı algısı yükseldikçe umutsuzluğunun azaldığı sonucu bulunmuştur. Araştırmada annelerin umutsuzluk düzeyi yükseldikçe ebeveyn kabul-ret düzeyinin de yükseldiği görülmektedir. Umutsuzluk alt boyutları ile ebeveyn kabul-ret değişkeni arasındaki ilişkiyi incelendiğinde gelecekten beklenti ile ebeveyn kabul-ret düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Annelerin motivasyon kaybı ve umut düzeyleri yükseldikçe ebeveyn kabul-ret düzeyleri de yükselmektedir. Annelerin Tanrı algıları ve çocuğunu kabul-ret arasındaki ilişkiye bakıldığında annelerin tanrı algısı ve çocuğunu kabul-ret düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Araştırmanın en önemli sonuçlarından biri olarak; Tanrı algısı umutsuzluğu olumsuz etkilerken, umutsuzluk, ebeveyn kabul-ret düzeyini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir ve Tanrı algısı ile ebeveyn kabul-ret arasında bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.

Development of Lora P2P Network for Autonomous Seawater Quality Monitor for Green Powered Desalination Project
Authors: Williams Zachary , Dorville Jean-François , Taylor Michael
Published: January 2021

Scarcity of freshwater pushes countries impacted by climate change to investigate new sources of supply. Desalination plants powered by renewable energy can be the solution for a tropical developing country. Collection and treatment of seawater to produce freshwater generate an imbalanced water mass. In the case of a Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant which pumps seawater to produce freshwater and brine as waste, the most important factor is the seawater quality, only available by observation. The design of a plant and its execution will depend on factors such as ambient temperature, salinity, and TDS. The main needs for a good multi-probe marine observation system are low energy consumption, simple monitoring, and coverage of a large area. For the sake of autonomy and ease of use, a functional and robust circuit can be set up using calibrated probes, micro-controllers, and small programmable boards. The use of programmable boards and connected probes are set up as network ‘nodes’ to send in-situ data measured from the water body. These nodes send the data using radio signal with LoRa protocol to a ‘gateway’ to store or transfer them. The parameters were measured at different time intervals, water depths, and distances from the coastline to observe how said factors affect the measurements. The results from the data collected are used to compare ocean modelling and satellite data. We present in this study the implementation of a long-range wireless autonomous sensor network and first validation tests in Jamaica and how it fills lack of information for a desalination project. Results indicate a good correlation between measure, modelling, and remote sensor. LoRa P2P network allows at an affordable price continuous monitoring of remote areas with great autonomy and resilience; results showed a successful transmission of > 80% within the network.
Rationale of Using Common Antifibrotic Therapy in Post COVID Fibrosis
Authors: Mamun SM Abdullah Al , Jahan Rowshne , Islam Quazi Tarikul , Nazrin Tahera , Shajalal Kahn
Published: January 2021

Different mechanisms of lung injury in COVID-19 have been described, like viral to immune-mediated mechanisms. Lung injury can be either subsequent to chronic inflammation or an idiopathic and genetically influenced process. Pulmonary fibrosis can occur with acute lung injury & a known sequela to ARDS. However, persistent radiological abnormalities after ARDS are of little clinical significance and have dwindled with protective lung ventilation. Pulmonary fibrosis is associated with permanent pulmonary architectural distortion and irreversible lung dysfunction. Available clinical, radiographic, and autopsy data has indicated that pulmonary fibrosis is central to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS) and MERS pathology, and current evidence suggests that pulmonary fibrosis could also complicate infection by SARS-CoV-2 The aim of this review is to explore the current literature on the pathogenesis of lung injury in COVID-19 infection, its risk factors & to find out the possible effective therapy within the existing medication. After literature review, we conclude that, currently there are no approved therapies for SARS COV2. Trials are based on drugs that are already approved for other diseases, have acceptable safety profiles or have been effective in animal studies against the other two highly pathogenic coronaviruses. Apart from the potent use of antivirals to reduce the viral effects, the use of antifibrotic therapies could also be under consideration based on the pulmonary fibrotic disease observed after COVID-19 recovery. Pirfenidone and Nintedanib are the two approved anti fibrotic drugs for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Despite having different modes of action, both are effective in attenuating the rate of lung function decline and are widely considered to improve life expectancy.

Chemical Mutagens Affecting in vitro Behavior of Gardenia jasminoides
Authors: Tawfik Eman , Fathy Mohamed
Published: January 2021

The chemical mutagens, namely sodium azide and guanidine hydrochloride (30, 40 and 50 mM) for each were applied for the in vitro culture of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Eight morphological traits were evaluated to calculate the result of different concentrations of mutagens compared to control. In sodium azide, all morphological traits decreased compared to control, except the number of branches and leaves and leaf length, which increases compared to control. Unlike guanidine hydrochloride, all the morphological traits are enhanced in mutants rather than control. The polymorphism percentage resulted from genetic variation varied (57.71% in the case of sodium azide and 67.59% in guanidine hydrochloride). Hence, guanidine hydrochloride is a more powerful mutagen and causes more genetic variations and instability than sodium azide, as was reflected in morphological parameters (i.e., fresh weight, shoot length, root length, number of lateral roots, number of leaves, numbers of branches, leaf length, and leaf width) and physiological traits (i.e., chlorophyll pigmentation and carotenoids).

Published: January 2021

In vitro regenerative potential of protocorm like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium barbatulum were assessed. The formation of secondary PLBs from the primary PLBs that formed from the callus, it is derived from a few larger injured protocorm like bodies. The injured larger PLBs were cultured on half strength MS supplemented with different concentrations of BAP (0.32, 1.62, 3.23 and 16.15 μM), Zn (0.46, 2.28, 4.56 and 22.80 μM) and Kn (0.47, 2.33, 4.65 and 23.25 μM). The highest percentage of secondary PLBs (66.33%) were obtained on half strength MS medium supplemented with BAP 3.23 μM, after 5 weeks of culture. Then these clumps of PLBs were subcultured on half strength MS fortified with coconut water (CW), cane juice (CJ), peptone (P) and casein hydrolysate (CH) for regeneration. Among the complex organic additives 20% CW and 2.0 g/l P to half strength MS resulted in the development of plantlet 78.31 and 62.60%, respectively. Well developed plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the community pots having brick pieces, charcoal, decaying litter and coconut husk (1 : 1 : 1 : 1) gave maximum survival rate of 87.03%.

Patients’ information was obtained after informed consent.Results: Growth of Gram-negative bacteria was 210 (6.17%). 83(39.52%) were Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter species, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter species, Proteus mirabilis and Haemophilus influenzae. 151(71.90%) isolates were multidrug resistant. None of the strains were resistant to colistin. 51(24.29%) were resistant to carbapenem and out of these 3(1.43%) were metallo-? lactamase producers. 89(65.92%) of the patients having both pneumonia along with other respiratory illnesses were above 60 years of age indicating that old age might be a predisposing factor. (p value is less than 0.0001). 92(81.42%) of patients of age above 60 years had multidrug resistant isolates indicating that old age might be a predisposing factor for getting infection my multidrug resistant isolates. (p value equals 0.0012) Among 36 diabetic patients 33(91.67%) had multidrug resistant isolates. Whereas out of 174 non-diabetic patients only 118(67.82%) had multidrug resistant isolates (p value equals 0.0037).Conclusions: Multidrug-resistant Gram negative bacteria were observed in respiratory samples. Effective treatment of lower respiratory tract infection need detailed microbiological diagnosis and drug susceptibility testing.Keywords: ESBL; LRTI; MBL; MDR

Background: Urbanization, surplus energy uptake, decreased physical activities are general risk factors of metabolic syndrome However, it’s status, and associated components remain unexplored in the Terai region of Nepal. This study evaluated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components among adults with central obesity of Terai region of Nepal using International Diabetes Federation criteria.Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in three Terai districts of Janakpur Zone, Nepal. A total of 378 adults having central obesity were selected using cluster sampling by camp approach. Interview, physical and clinical examination, measurement of fasting blood sugar, and lipid profile were conducted for all participants. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components with 95% CI were estimated.Results: The metabolic syndrome prevalence was 74.9% (95% CI:70.2-79.2%), with no significant differences between male (77.7%, 95% CI:71.0-83.5%) and female (72.2%, 95% CI: 65.2-78.3%). The most common factors observed were low high density lipoproteins with highly significant differences between male (77.7%, 95% CI:71.0-83.5%)) and female (90.2%, 95% CI: 85.094.0%-; p=0.001) and hypertriglyceridemia with significant differences between male (57.6%, 95% CI: 50.1-64.5%) and female (46.9%, 95% CI: 39.7-54.2%; p=0.037). Conclusions: Higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its risk factors in Janakpur of Nepal likely suggest lack of awareness and health promotion activities for metabolic syndrome and indicate an urgency for a public health program to maintain quality of life.

Published: January 2021

Background: Demirjian’s method is widely used method for dental age estimation. This study was conducted with objectives of applying Demirjian’s 8 teeth method to estimate age in Nepalese Population and to determine Nepal-specific formulas.Methods: We had used the Orthopantomographs of Nepalese people of age above five and below 23 years. The radiographs were compared to the ‘Tooth Development Chart’ and each tooth studied was assigned with any one of the 10 developmental stages using Demirijian’s 8 teeth method and total maturity scores determined. Formulas were derived using regression analysis, wherein the total maturity score obtained for each individual was considered as the independent variable and the corresponding age as the dependent variable in the STATA 15.1 statistical program. Results: There was underestimation of age in both the sexes by the original method. Regression equations were derived for males and females separately for age five to 18 years and again after adding cases up to 23 years. The estimation was better for males up to 18 years [R2=0.94, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) 0.747 years and SD 0.644] than for females up to 18 years (R2 = 0.89, MAE 0.886 years and SD 0.925). The estimation was better for up to 18 years than for up to 23 years in both sexes.Conclusions: Demirijian’s 8 teeth method underestimated age in the study population and thus population specific equations based on the method are better for dental age estimation. The age estimation utilizing the equations from Nepalese population has given acceptable results.Keywords: Age estimation; demirijian’s method; dental age estimation; forensic age estimation; tooth development chart

Published: January 2021

Complexities of English writing still become big challenges for university students who study English as their majority. Diary and guided writing are two strategies which are commonly separately implemented in writing classes. Among the number of the strengths, there must be the weaknesses when Diary and guided strategies are separately practiced for writing class. Implementing diary writing strategy without continuously guidance may not optimally help students reducing the writing difficulties. This study tried to combine both of the strategies to identify and reduce the students’ writing difficulties. First until eight grade students at English study program were randomly selected as the research subjects. Qualitative approach was applied. The data was obtained by implementing diary writing practice combined with the writing guidance during one month as well as observation, in-depth interview and FGD. Result shows that students got difficulties to apply proper vocabulary, grammar, and mechanic in their writing. Grammar was the most difficult aspects.  Further, combining diary and guided strategies could reduce the students’ writing difficulties.

Parahancornia fasciculata (Poir) Benoist, conhecida popularmente como amapá amargoso, é uma espécie importante na medicina popular e farmacológica por conta do látex de seu tronco, chamado de “leite do amapá”. Porém os estudos sobre a tecnologia de sementes dessa espécie ainda são incipientes. O objetivo do trabalho foi do avaliar a influência da cor do tegumento (heteromorfia) na morfometria, germinação, vigor de sementes e produção de mudas de P. fasciculata de forma a definir as sementes que apresentam maior vigor e o substrato que favorece a germinação. Para o teste de germinação, o delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em fatorial 2x4 em quatro repetições, sendo dois tipos de cor de semente (amarela e marrom) e quatro tipos de substratos (areia, vermiculita, areia e vermiculita 1:1, e areia e vermiculita 2:1). As sementes marrons tiveram o comprimento, largura e massa da matéria fresca maiores em relação as sementes amarelas, o que indica que as sementes marrons apresentam maior nível de maturação, além de terem tido maiores porcentagens de germinação sob vermiculita, o que relaciona o vigor da semente marrom sendo favorecido sob a vermiculita. A morfologia da germinação é do tipo epígea, os cotilédones são foliáceos e fotossintetizantes, a raiz é axial e pivotante, hipocótilo de consistência herbácea, protófilos alternos verdes e venação broquidódroma. Os resultados deste estudo indicam a importância do uso seletivo de sementes a partir da coloração do tegumento para garantir a qualidade e o sucesso na produção de mudas.
