Published: July 2021

Pandemi telah mengubah semuanya tidak terkecuali Indonesia. Pemerintah kembali memperbarui data pandemi virus Corona (COVID-19) di Tanah Air. Tanggal 1 Juni 2021, sebanyak 4.824 tambahan kasus baru, 5.360 kasus sembuh dan 145 kasus meninggal akibat COVID-19. Pemerintah melaporkan sebanyak 4.824 kasus baru, sehingga total positif Corona di Indonesia menjadi 1.826.527 kasus. Ada pula penambahan kasus sembuh sebanyak 5.360, dengan demikian, total kasus sembuh dari Corona mencapai 1.674.479 kasus. Terlebih hal ini terjadi karena penyebaran COVID-19 terjadi melalui interaksi antar sesama yang menyebabkan perlunya social distancing untuk diterapkan di masyarakat. Adanya social distancing ini mengurangi aktivitas bersama dengan lainnya. Masalah kesehatan mental yang muncul akibat pandemi COVID-19 dapat berkembang menjadi masalah kesehatan yang dapat berlangsung lama dan berpotensi menimbulkan beban sosial yang berat. Kesehatan mental adalah aspek penting dalam mewujudkan kesehatan yang menyeluruh. Namun di sebagian besar negara berkembang, masalah kesehatan mental belum diprioritaskan apabila dibandingkan dengan penyakit menular. Hasil penelitian pendahuluan diperoleh dari data mahasiswa yang melakukan praktikum secara daring bahwa mahasiswa mengalami kelelahan dalam praktikum sebanyak 64,3%, peningkatan tingkat stress sebanyak 78,3%, berkurangnya konsentrasi sebanyak 71,3%, tekanan dalam praktikum sebanyak 66,7%, keluhan kesehatan sebanyak 38%, penurunan tingkat kewaspadaan 40,3%, rasa kantuk yang menggannggu sebanyak 72,9%, dan bekerja yang berlebihan 58,1%. Pengukuran beban kerja mental secara subjektif merupakan teknik pengukuran yang paling banyak digunakan karena mempunyai tingkat validitas yang tinggi dan bersifat langsung dibandingkan dengan pengukuran lain.

Published: July 2021

In malaria endemic areas, pregnant women are more susceptible to infection with malaria parasites than non-pregnant women. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2014 estimated that 10,000 maternal deaths each year were associated with malaria infection during pregnancy. The aim of the study was to describe the incidence of malaria in pregnant women at the Boven Digoel District General Hospital, Papua. Methods This research uses a descriptive type of research. Samples were taken as many as 92 pregnant women who were taken by accidental sampling. Collecting data by using a questionnaire sheet. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. The results showed that from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them suffered from anemia as many as 51 people (65.4%) and 27 people did not suffer from anemia (34.6%). For the incidence of abortion from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them did not experience an abortion as many as 62 people (79.5%) and 16 people had an abortion (20.5%). For the habit of being out of the house at night, from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them were always outside at night as many as 41 people (52.6%) and 37 people (47 people) were not out of the house at night. ,4%). The conclusion of this study, the description of the incidence of malaria in pregnant women mostly suffer from anemia, do not have abortions and are always outside the house at night.

Este trabalho pretende analisar o poema “A Willy Lewin morto”,  a fim de apontar que uma suposta efeméride pode revelar, além do cunho afetivo, vínculos literários entre o, agora, poeta renomado e o seu mentor intelectual durante a juventude, no Recife. Como os estudos acerca de Willy Lewin são escassos, este trabalho se baseará nas referências ao longo da obra de João Cabral, em entrevistas, correspondências e informações obtidas em documentos de fontes primárias do espólio documental de João Cabral. Será discutido como Lewin, a quem é dedicado o principiante Pedra do sono (1942), é retomado nesse poema de Museu de tudo (1975), assumindo ares de leitor especializado de quem o poeta amadurecido busca “o sim e o desagrado”.
Anti-inflammatory roles of interleukin-35 in the pathogenesis of Japanese cedar pollinosis
Authors: Kouzaki Hideaki , Arai Yukihiro , Nakamura Keigo , Murao Takuya , Tojima Ichiro , Shimizu Shino , Yuta Atsushi , Shimizu Takeshi
Published: July 2021

Background

Interleukin (IL)-35 has been recently identified as an anti-inflammatory cytokine in allergic inflammation. However, its biological role in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis has not been fully elucidated.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of IL-35 in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis in patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP).

Methods

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from healthy controls and JCP patients during the off-season for pollen. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were incubated with Cry j 1, a major allergen of Japanese cedar pollen and production of IL-5, IL-13, and IL-35 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Th2 (CD4+ST2+) cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of JCP patients, and the inhibitory effects of IL-35 on cell differentiation, proliferation and mRNA expression of IL-5, IL-13, and GATA3 were examined. B cells were also isolated and the effects of IL-35 on total IgE production were examined.

Results

Cry j 1-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 was significantly increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from JCP patients, whereas Cry j 1-induced IL-35 production was significantly decreased compared with healthy controls. IL-35 significantly inhibited Th2 cell differentiation, group 2 innate lymphoid cell proliferation, and mRNA expression of IL-5, IL-13, and GATA3 in Th2 cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells. IL-35 also inhibited IgE production from B cells.

Conclusion

IL-35 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine in JCP, and its biological roles include the downregulation of Th2 cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells, and the inhibition of IgE production from B cells. These findings demonstrate that IL-35 may have the potential to exert anti-allergic effects for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Digitalisierung im Finanzdienstleistungssektor – Folgen für Angestelltenarbeit an der Front-Line
Authors: Tullius Knut
Published: July 2021

Banken und Versicherungen in Deutschland durchlaufen seit einigen Jahren eine Phase der Restrukturierung und Rationalisierung, die wesentlich durch die Infragestellung bisheriger Wettbewerbsstrategien, Organisationsstrukturen und Beschäftigungssysteme durch „datengetriebene Geschäftsmodelle“ und die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Technologien geprägt ist – verbreitet ist von grundlegenden Umbrüchen, von „Disruption“, die Rede. Vorliegende empirische Studien dazu, was Banken und Versicherungen in Sachen Digitalisierung und Restrukturierung tatsächlich tun und welche Auswirkungen dies auf die Arbeit der Angestellten hat, sind indes ausschnitthaft. Auf Grundlage von Befunden aus zehn betrieblichen Fallstudien zeigt der Beitrag, dass die mit gegenwärtigen Digitalisierungs- und systemischen Rationalisierungsprozessen verbundenen Folgen für Dienstleistungsarbeit vielschichtig und teils widersprüchlich sind. Daraus folgt auch, dass pauschalisierende Aussagen zur Zukunft der Dienstleistungsarbeit, etwa im Sinne einer allgemeinen Tendenz zum „digitalen Taylorismus“, an den realen Veränderungen in den Betrieben vorbeigehen.

Scottish Unionist Ideology 1886-1965
Authors: Wales Jonathan
Published: July 2021

This monograph examines Scottish unionist political thought and intellectual history in the period from 1885/1886 to 1965. It provides an analytical examination of unionist positions, examining such areas as political history, ecclesiology, sectarianism, historiography and unionist–nationalist sentiment. It contextualises unionist thought within Scotland's history and offers findings based on both archival and primary sources research along with a thorough background of historiography. It both contextualises and examines the complexities of Scottish unionism during this vital period between the Liberal Party's split over Irish Home Rule until the reorganisation of the Scottish Unionist Party in 1965. The monograph offers a detailed study of unionism at a time of rising nationalist separatism within Scotland. It provides an analysis of the constitutional framework within Scotland for co-partnership within a larger British state. It illuminates the spectrum of unionist discourse during this period and demonstrates the complexities of Scotland's constitutional and cultural relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom.

Taylors Agenten
Authors: Falkenberg Jonathan
Published: July 2021

Mobile assistance systems are associated with promises of relief and greater independence at work. At the same time, they are suspected of conducting seamless surveillance of employees. Using the example of order picking, the qualitative case studies in this book show that the aforementioned systems contribute to the intensification and standardisation of work, but are hardly used to monitor workers. The reasons for this are manifold and lie in regulated working conditions and co-determination, work process requirements, technical limitations, alternative control practices or the maintenance of social relations. The findings of this book show that one-sided forecasts fall short of assessing the true impact of mobile assistance systems.

Die Vereinbarkeit des deutschen Verjährungsrechts mit dem Anspruchsschutz nach der EMRK
Authors: Kienast Florian
Published: July 2021

This study examines the compatibility of German statutes of limitations with the protection of claims under the ECHR. The work focuses on the question whether the requirements that the ECtHR stipulates concerning the ECHR conform with German statutes of limitations. While the German courts have only occasionally had to rule on the compatibility of German statutes of limitation with higher-ranking law, there is now a comprehensive body of ECtHR case law on the interaction of time-limit regimes and the guarantees of the ECHR. Nevertheless, the case law of the ECtHR has hardly been given any significance for the interpretation of German statutes of limitations.

Authors: Enneb Hanen , Ben Yahya Leila , Ilyas Mohamed , Asaram Dhale Datta , Bagues Mohamed , Nagaz Kamel
Published: July 2021

In this study, we aim to investigate the physiological and biochemical adaptations of Vicia faba plants to moderate irrigation regime (T1) and describe the effects of water stress on their growth performance and chlorophyll contents. For this reason, three Tunisia accessions (ElHamma, Mareth and Medenine) were studied. An experiment was conducted for one month. Faba bean plants were first grown in a greenhouse and then, exposed to water stress, whereby they were irrigated up to the field capacity (FC) of 0% (control, T0) and 50% of the control (moderate stress, T1). The effect of water stress on physiological parameters showed differences in relation to the accessions studied and the water regime. Relative water content (RWC) of ElHamma accession does not seem to be affected by stress as compared with the control regime. Total chlorophyll content decreases, whereas soluble sugar contents increases for all accessions studied. ElHamma has the highest content. About morphological parameters, bean growth varies according to the ascension and treatment. Hydric stress impedes the growth of the root part and caused a significant reduction in the shoot and root Dry Weight (DW) of the T1-stressed beans, compared to the optimal irrigation (T0).

Local Knowledge, Community Experiences, Nature, Collaboration, and Resilience in Times of Pandemic, Uncertainty, and Climate Change in the Anthropocene Era
Authors: Rojas Hernández Jorge , Silva Ávila Patricio , Barra Ríos Ricardo
Published: July 2021

The pandemic afflicting the world is accompanied by a social, economic, political, cultural, and climatic multi-crisis. It is the crisis of the Anthropocene Era and modern paradigms. Modern society is in a complex situation. The responses to the multicrisis, including the pandemic, will probably come from the revalorization and resignification of experiences and socioecological knowledge of communities. Their historical experiences, currently fragmented by modernization processes, will be able to intercommunicate and, with resilient energy, open new possibilities for human and planetary life. It will be a great transformation, in which old and new models of development will be in tension. These tensions will also be expressed in the form of social and political radicalization and result in conflicts over natural resources, especially water, natural forests, ecosystems, and productive land. Human and planetary life is seriously threatened. Intellectual and scientific activity must connect with the ecological knowledge of local communities to defend human and natural life.

Published: July 2021

Corticosteroids still remain the anchor drugs in therapy strategies for patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases even though new drugs such as biologic or targeted synthetic molecules have emerged in the past years, being the most commonly prescribed medicines in the world due to their powerful immune-modulating properties. In this chapter, we aim to discuss the main characteristics of the glucocorticoids, their mechanism of action and effects on the immune system given the fact that they reduce the activation, proliferation, differentiation and survival of inflammatory cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes. Nevertheless, of great importance are the indications and tapering regimens, but also the adverse effects and various methods of monitoring the corticosteroid therapy.

Published: July 2021

The objective of this research was to develop the transformation procedure of rice stubble in the dry season of Thailand. This would be significantly used for the creative building processes of furniture products for earning increased economic value for the people and the communities. Fiber was applied in the transformation procedure for the rice stubble, including the cementing of the formation procedure in the boiling and soaking methods. From the results from using both procedures in this research, it was found that knock-down furniture sheets had the ability to be formed as standard furniture products with JIS A 5908–1994 for the customer groups who had the most level of satisfaction to rice stubble furniture. Therefore, this resulted in a positive result affecting the reduction of the ratio of burning of rice stubble in terms of preparing the area for planting in the next season on a large scale, including decreasing the occurrence of the PM. 2.5 problem in Thailand in every winter season. As a result, this research could be considered as another choice as a proposal to present the solution guidelines for solving the PM. 2.5 problem sustainably.
Medial Meniscus Root Tear: Current Update Review
Authors: Itthipanichpong Thun , Moonwong Songthai
Published: July 2021

This chapter mainly focuses on medial meniscus posterior root tear which is the point of attention nowadays because it is the common degeneration process and can lead to early-onset osteoarthritis of the knee without treatment. The biomechanics of the medial meniscus root tear is similar to total meniscectomy. Hence, early detection and diagnosis will lead to better outcome. Most cases with medial meniscus root tear also have degenerative change of the knee. Meniscal extrusion is a common finding in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which represent impairing of hoop stress function of the meniscus. Patient selection and understanding of the natural history of the disease is a particularly important. Options for the treatment including conservative treatment, surgical treatment such as partial meniscectomy, meniscus root repair, or reduction of meniscal extrusion. Outcome of these treatments are variable depending on the condition of the patients. Long term outcome of surgical treatment revealed lower rate of knee replacement compared with conservative treatment.
Gene Editing inPrunusSpp.: The Challenge of Adapting Regular Gene Transfer Procedures for Precision Breeding

Published: July 2021

Successfully gene editing (GE) in Prunus spp. has been delayed due to its woody nature presenting additional difficulties in both, proper regeneration protocols and designing efficient gene transfer techniques. The availability of adequate, single cell culture techniques for GE such as protoplast regeneration, is a limiting step for the genus and for this reason, the improvement of regular regeneration protocols and finding more efficient techniques for the delivery of the “editing reagents” seem to be a reasonable strategy to incorporate GE in the genus. During the last 10 years, we have focused our efforts optimizing some previous regeneration and gene transfer procedures for Japanese plum (P. salicina), sweet cherry (P. avium) and peach (P. persica) to incorporate them into a GE technology on these species. In parallel, delivery techniques for the CRISPR/Cas9 editing components, i.e., guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas9, have been developed with the aim of improving gene targeting efficiencies. In that line, using DNA virus-based replicons provides a significant improvement, as their replicational release from their carriers enables their enhanced expression. Here, we make a brief overview of the tissue culture and regeneration protocols we have developed for P. salicina, P. avium and P. persica, and then we proceed to describe the use of Bean yellow dwarf virus (BeYDV)-derived replicon vectors to express the editing reagents in vivo and to evaluate their editing capability on individuals derived from Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer experiments of these species. We show part of our characterization assays using new BeYDV-derived vectors harboring multiple gRNAs, the Cas9 gene, and the green fluorescent protein reporter gene. We also describe a dedicated genome analysis tool, by which gRNA pairs can be designed to address gene deletions of the target genes and to predict off-target sequences. Finally, as an example, we show the general results describing GE of the peach TERMINAL FLOWER 1 gene and some preliminary characterizations of these materials.
Contemporary Challenges for Education in Early Childhood
Authors: Eric Wilkinson John
Published: July 2021

Over the past two centuries the Age of Modernity has dominated intellectual thought and related actions predominantly in the English-speaking world. It is now becoming increasingly recognized by academics and powerful organizations both nationally and internationally that the consequence of this mode of thinking has generated immense problems for the contemporary world. The level of social and economic inequalities that continue to increase has now become the concern of many, particularly those who identify with the thinking and ideas associated with the emerging Age of Post-Modernity. The challenge to Education is profound not least so in how young children’s awareness, knowledge and understanding about the society in which they live is transmitted, often unwittingly, initially in families and subsequently in kindergartens and schools. This paper first addresses the main social constructions of childhood that can be identified in democratic countries and then links these constructions to the three dominant ideologies that exert axiomatic influence on the education process in different countries. Emerging from this brief analysis the paper identifies three fundamental and important challenges to those with responsibility and influence on young children’s education be they in governments, educational institutions or families.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a step-by-step description of the robot-assisted radical cystectomy with an intra-corporeal neo-bladder technique and a recent review of its outcomes. The procedure is also known as anterior pelvic exenteration or cysto-prostatectomy in the case of female or male respectively. Radical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, but there are also several surgical indications for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In the past years, minimally invasive surgery and the da Vinci system technology have played a major role in this procedure, with description of brand-new techniques and specific approaches for the creation of a continent urinary reservoir. The following chapter provides a detailed description of the robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with Y-shaped intra-corporeal bladder as well as a literary review of distinct perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes from the available RARC randomized controlled trials. Despite its high cost and complexity, the intra-corporeal technique has become widely popular around the world and is used more frequently each time. The described data in this chapter, demonstrates that morbidity can be reduced whilst simultaneously offer non-inferior oncological results and less intraoperative blood loss in contrast to the open RC approach.

Background: The objective of the present study was to determine the impacts of an educational program by using group discussion on perceived stigma among family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: This nonequivalent non-randomized controlled trial was performed in 2015. A sample of 66 family caregivers of people with AD was recruited conveniently. The caregivers were non-randomly allocated to a control and an experimental group. Initially, the perceived stigma of all participants was measured by using the Stigma Impact Scale. Then a five-session educational program by using group discussion was held over five weeks for the caregivers in the experimental group. The caregivers in the control group received no intervention. The level of caregivers' perceived stress was re-assessed both immediately and one month after the intervention. Results: The difference between the groups in terms of pretest perceived stigma was not statistically significant (P = 0.146). However, immediately and one month after the intervention, the mean score of perceived stigma in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). The results of repeated measures ANOVA for the between-subject factor of the group also showed that the intervention had significant effects on the caregivers’ perceived stigma (P = 0.004). Conclusions: The findings of the present study showed the noticeable effects of the educational program using group discussion on the perceived stigma of family caregivers of people with AD. This finding can denote the importance of experience sharing in the psychological well-being of family caregivers. Through group discussion and experience sharing, caregivers learn the necessary skills for coping with their own problems. Given their effectiveness, educational interventions by using group discussion are recommended to reduce perceived stigma among family caregivers.

The urbanization process is often concentrated mostly in urban areas, resulting into urban development sprawl. This has effects on the lifestyles and activities of urban people, which in turn significantly affects the health of the city. The quality of the urban environment plays an important role in public health with respect to urban issues ranging from quality of utilities and services to quality of life. This study aims to study the perception of Pathumthani residents toward its environmental quality through spatial cluster analysis. A total of 1,000 sets of data collected from the interview survey among residents or commuters traveling through Pathumthani province was used for this study. The residents' response towards environmental factors was examined through the classification of their different opinions among built environment and health aspects. The statistical analysis which was performed in this study was cluster analysis to demonstrate its relationship. With the level of satisfaction on environment aspect and health status in indicating number of congenital diseases, the result of this study found that condition of living environment (through Likert scale) affects the urban health with statistical significance of (P <0.05). Therefore, provincial health policy should focus more on developing a healthy city in consistence with economic and social development while putting adequate mechanisms for environmental surveillance monitoring at the community level. The result of study can confirm the usefulness of this unconventional approach by asking residents or commuters about their satisfaction on built environment which can represent as an evidence-based planning approach by linking local people attitudes and translating them into creating liveable and better urban environmental quality. To have a good understanding of local people preferences, the recommendation to be given to the capacity of communities can be focused for improving people's quality of life by providing better accessibility, high quality of infrastructures and services. Finally, a set of features of satisfied built environment can help to support the continued growth of the city in term of basic need and sufficiency provision of facility and utility system.

The coastal area of Pekalongan, especially the estuary area of the Banger River, Loji River, and Gabus River, are often experiencing to tidal floods. Tidal Floods that occur pose a great risk due to the sedimentation of river mouths and floods from the watershed to the coastal area of Pekalongan. This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on flood frequency patterns and the contribution of each sub-watershed to the total discharge that occurs, as well as to analyze the effect of increasing sea level that occurs in the coastal area of Pekalongan. The method used in this research hydro-meteorological, hydraulic, and hydrodynamics two-dimensional analysis. The results showed that the climate change that occurred in the coastal area of Pekalongan was indicated by an increase in the average temperature of about 1o Celsius and the trend towards maximum yearly precipitationthat occurred during a period of twenty years had increased (2000-2019 period). An Increasing temperature that occurs has a significant risk to sea-level rise and increasing uncertainty hydrometeorological hazard (tidal flooding). Recommendations from this study are structuring the drainage system based on an integrated landscape arrangement concept to improve the economy, tourism, social, and environment to achieve sustainable coastal infrastructure.
Historical aspects of studying the influence of physical activity on the mental health of people

Published: July 2021

This article presents the main results of work on the study of the issue of the historical process of improving knowledge about the influence of physical activity of a person on the level of his mental health. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific information presented in modern domestic and foreign literary sources, the conclusion was substantiated that the historical process of improving knowledge about human nature and his mental activity in recent years has reached the highest level of development. The study of the long-term experience of scientists in many countries of the world gives grounds to assert that the beginning of the process of targeted study of the effect of physical activity on human mental functions was laid back in the last century. However, scientists have achieved the most outstanding results in this area of scientific research in recent decades. The historical need for in-depth research in this scientific direction was maturing gradually and was due to the peculiarities of the course of scientific and technological progress in general. Due to the fact that it was in recent decades that many discoveries were made, which formed the basis of modern methods for studying the physiological state of a person and his intellectual functions, there was obvious progress in the study of the mental health of persons whose central nervous system works under conditions of extreme intellectual and psycho-emotional stress. Scientists working in the field of physical education and sports, in collaboration with scientists in the field of education and health, have significantly intensified their joint activities and developed modern complexes of measures aimed at studying the mental health of students and representatives of the teaching staff of state institutions of higher education. This contingent of the subjects was not chosen by chance. The fact is that the learning process in higher education institutions is associated with intense loads on the central nervous system of both students and teachers, as well as on some of their senses (in particular, on the visual and auditory analyzers).

The aim of this empirical research was to examine the correlations between the groups of variables of anthropometric characteristics (16) and motor skills (21) among 154 students (AM = 11,53 SD = 1,12). The method of canonical correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between the pairs of linear functions of predictor and criterion variables. The obtained canonical coefficients and canonical weights revealed that, with significance level (p ≤ 0,0,5 or p ≤ 0,01), there is a high level of correlation between linear combinations of the examined morphological characteristics and motor skills, where the explained mutual variance was 80% for the first and 33% for the second canonical function. The extracted relevant canonical pairs were interpreted hypothetically as "integrated morphological factor and the factor of static and repetitive strength and coordination", and the second one was interpreted as "morphological factor and the factor of explosive strength". The set of the first canonical morphological factor and the factor of static and repetitive strength, and coordination, is the maximum weight on the variables body mass, body height, forearm circumference, horizontal reverse plank, knee push-ups, and stick mobility, while the biggest contribution to the structure of the second canonical morphological factor and the factor of static and repetitive strength have variables 20m sprint with standing start, standing long jump, hand tapping and foot tapping. The obtained results of the analyzed bicomponent canonical model reveal more defined and predictable structure of the correlation between anthropometric characteristics and motor manifestations, and therefore give guidelines for planning, developing and controlling the training processes during physical education classes.
