Authors: Jamil Robit Nurul
Published: January 2024

In Jember's culture, dove symbolizes peace and purity. Tota'an tradition captures attention as a cultural symbol that fosters a sense of brotherhood, connecting communities. This study delves into the role of local culture in strengthening interpersonal relationships, transcending beyond cultural expressions. Using ethnozoology, it explores the perspectives and roles of doves in the Tota'an tradition. The research focuses on examining the Tota'an tradition in three lenses: ethnozoology, local culture, and Islam. It seeks to understand how Islamic values, such as solidarity and compassion, are reflected in Tota'an, and how these values are connected to ethnozoological aspects, particularly the symbolism of doves. The result presents the exploration of the analysis of Tota'an's impact in the Islamic context. It emphasizes the intricate balance formed by local culture, serving as a bridge between Islam and ethnozoology. It also provides profound insights into the interconnected relationship of ethnozoology, local culture, and Islam through Tota'an. By following a specific sequence in examining the tradition, it reveals deeper layers of meaning, enhancing our understanding of the mutual reinforcement of values within the context of the vibrant local culture. By preserving and understanding the cultural and religious values in Tota'an, the Jember community can maintain their cultural identity while strengthening social cohesion.

Authors: ul-Haq Asad 
Published: January 2024

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaves have been used as a traditional or local medicine for multiple diseases in different eastern countries (Japan, Korea, India, and China) for centuries. In the recent past, several studies have used persimmon leaves extract (PLE) against different eye-related diseases. In this review, we discussed the ethnopharmacological use, therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research using PLE for different ocular disorders based on the latest research. The pieces of information regarding PLE were collected using Pubmed, ACS, Elsevier, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI and different books. It can be concluded from this review that PLE probably have therapeutic potential against inflammation and oxidative stress induced disorders like dry eye disease (DED), corneal neurovascularization (CoNV), glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and edema. However, further investigations are required to discover exact biological compounds involved in the pharmacological effects against the aforementioned diseases. Furthermore, clinical trials are needed to be performed before integrating PLE for medicinal use
Increasing Importance of Clinical Research Opportunities for Pharmacy Students
Authors: Huston Jessica
Published: January 2024

Pharmacy students have many opportunities for extracurricular activities to enhance their learning experiences and prepare them for their roles as clinicians upon graduation. Pursuing a pharmacy practice residency or post-graduate education upon graduation from a pharmacy program is highly sought after by a large percentage of pharmacy graduates. Achieving the goal of obtaining a residency or fellowship is highly competitive and requires the pharmacy student applicant to appear well-rounded. Pursuant to this, many students become involved in internships, leadership roles, and increasingly, clinical research opportunities. While the role of pharmacists in clinical research is still developing, many pharmacy practitioners are involved in research in some capacity and pharmacy residency and fellowship candidates are typically expected to complete a clinical research project prior to obtaining their certification. This supports the idea that involving pharmacy students in clinical research opportunities is becoming increasingly important for both their post-graduate applications and their experiences prior to becoming practitioners.

Authors: Li Jinjiang
Published: January 2024

In this paper, GastroPlus™ modelling was applied to the development of a low-dose poorly water-soluble compound. The initial input parameters for simulation of solution were based on solubility, log D, permeability, and the dose together with dose volume of 250 ml. Typical physiology input parameters were used in simulation. Simulated curves were compared with clinical data for solution, and input parameters were optimized. Using the optimized input parameters from solution, simulated AUC curves of tablets of various strength (1mg, 3mg, and 5mg) were obtained and compared with solution AUC curves as well as clinical AUV curves, from which PK parameters were derived. Predictability of absorption of various dose was discussed for both tablet and solution. Furthermore, impact of dose, pH, and food effect on absorption was explored based on the simulated data. Overall, this case study demonstrated the use of GastroPlus™ in the drug development for a low-dose compound.

Authors: Kumar Yadav Krishna
Published: January 2024

A highly accurate and sensitive method has been developed for assessing the enantiomeric purity of L-prolinamide hydrochloride using reverse-phase HPLC. The method involves utilizing Marfey’s reagent to derivatize DL-prolinamide, followed by pre-column derivatization into a diastereomer, and subsequent RP-HPLC analysis using Hypersil BDS C18 (4.6 x 250mm, 5.0m). The method allows for excellent separation of the two enantiomers, with a resolution of over 3 and a tailing factor of less than 1.5. Notably, the concentration range for D-prolinamide is 0.15 to 0.75%, with exceptional linearity. Moreover, the limit of detection and limit of quantitation for D-prolinamide are 0.075% and 0.15%, respectively. Overall, this method is highly specific and simple, providing a reliable approach for assessing enantiomeric purity in L-prolinamide hydrochloride.

Authors: Rohan Hana
Published: January 2024

El Niño puede considerarse un fenómeno que acarrea múltiples peligros, por lo que las consideraciones en materia de necesidades de información afectan a diferentes poblaciones y conciernen a diferentes tipos de riesgos, incluidos los peligros directamente relacionados con el clima, la reducción de la producción agrícola, el aumento de la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición, el aumento de la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas y los efectos sobre el acceso a la atención médica. Es posible que las comunicaciones de alerta de peligro a corto y largo plazo deban contener diferentes llamadas a la acción, y es probable que esas llamadas tengan diferentes niveles de urgencia. Este resumen de consideraciones clave describe las implicaciones del fenómeno El Niño en la Región de África Oriental y Meridional (ESAR por sus siglas en inglés) en relación con las iniciativas de Comunicación de Riesgos y Participación Comunitaria (CRPC), basándose en fenómenos meteorológicos comparables anteriores. Las lecciones aprendidas proceden principalmente de la bibliografía sobre la comunicación de pronósticos del tiempo e información meteorológica, pero tienen implicaciones para la CRPC ante multiples peligros. Algunas de las lecciones aprendidas se extraen también de otros territorios fuera de África Oriental y Meridional, pero se consideran dentro de los efectos que el fenómeno El Niño podría previsiblemente tener sobre la ESAR específicamente. La primera sección de este resumen trata de las necesidades de información; la segunda, de cómo garantizar y generar confianza en la información; y la última, de las estrategias de comunicación y participación comunitaria. El informe se preparó por encargo del Servicio Colectivo para que las organizaciones que trabajan en el área de CRPC contaran con un recurso relacionado con el fenómeno El Niño en la ESAR.

Our research was carried out in northern Croatia from 2018 to 2022 and we investigated the distribution of salt-tolerant plant species along roads (mainly along motorways) in a total of 51 study sites. We were the first to detect Cochlearia danica, a halophyte characterized by an Atlantic distribution, in the Croatian flora. We demonstrated the distinct roadside spread of Desmazeria marina, Parapholis incurva and Sagina maritima in a northerly direction towards the interior of the mainland. We recorded the mass occurrence of several salt-tolerant species already well documented in Central Europe along the surveyed motorways (e.g. Plantago coronopus, Spergularia marina) and provide data on other weeds that have spread along major roads. Three species found (Desmazeria marina, Puccinellia distans subsp. distans, Parapholis incurva) are included in the Croatian Red List.

Because of increasing urbanization, some opportunistic birds such as gulls, started to exploit various artificial marine and terrestrial food sources. To better understand urban gull ecology and habitat use, a study was done on a yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) during the breeding season in Zadar, a coastal city on the Adriatic Sea. Ten adult breeding yellow-legged gulls (five females and five males) were caught on building rooftops during the late incubation period and were fitted with GPS-GSM solar power transmitters. In total, 2377 trip segments (no. GPS points = 19906) were analyzed, with most of them being classified as nest attendance (56.32 %) and foraging movements (37.10 %). Tracking data showed that the gulls mostly use marine and urban areas, agricultural lands, a dump site, and grasslands. Females were more active while foraging, with a longer duration and trip segment length, travelling further away from the breeding colony, while males tended to rest more than females. Both males and females exploit various habitats for foraging and resting, however females used agricultural lands significantly more than males. Even though gulls are generalists, some individuals showed a preference for certain habitats. After calculating the proportional similarity index, individuals showed high specialization for a certain habitat.

Bryophyte flora of the Significant Landscape Lower ”Kamenjak and Medulin Archipelago” in Istria (western Croatia) was studied from 2019 to 2021. The study resulted in a list of 14 liverwort and 60 moss taxa. Tortula pallida, Bryum gemmilucens, Microbryum davallianum var. conicum and Microbryum muticum are new national records. The prevalence of Mediterranean-Atlantic, temperate and southern-temperate chorotypes corresponds well with the biogeographical characteristics of the studied area. The turf life-form and colonist life strategy, predominantly represented by small Pottiaceae species, prevailed within the study. They mostly inhabited periodically moist soil of open habitats in olive groves, maquis and garrigues. This study aimed to address the significant lack of current data on bryophytes in coastal parts of Croatia.

New vision of convection induced freckle formation theory in nickel-based superalloys by electron microscopy
Authors: Wang Shuai , Jia Yuliang , Wang Yongzhe , Zhang Yongjia , Ma Lan , Cheng Feng , Zeng Yi , Shen Xu , Du Yingliu , Ge Binghui
Published: January 2024

Freckles, one of the common defects in blades used in heavy-duty gas turbines, hugely deteriorate the mechanical properties and liability of blades under service conditions. The thermal-solutal convection theory is a widely adopted formation mechanism, but few solid experimental pieces of evidence have been reported. Here, the grain microstructure in freckle chains taken from four different Nickel-based superalloys with either single-crystal or directionally solidified alloy is analyzed for the first time. The relationship between the internal stress and the misorientation throughout the freckle chains is studied by means of state-of-the-art electron microscopy. The results supply new experimental evidence of the thermal-solutal convection theory, which is further supported by the fact that borides at the boundary are randomly orientated to alloys. Therefore, this research enriches the methodology of freckle study, providing new insight into the formation mechanism of casting defects.
On the Precise Link Between Energy and Information
Authors: Witkowski Cameron , Brown Stephen , Truong Kevin
Published: January 2024

We present a modified version of the Szilard Engine, demonstrating that an explicit measurement procedure is entirely unnecessary for its operation. By considering our modified engine, we are able to provide a new interpretation of Landauer’s original argument for the cost of erasure. From this view, we demonstrate that a reset operation is strictly impossible in a dynamical system with only conservative forces. Then, we prove that to approach a reset yields an unavoidable instability at the reset point. Finally, we present an original proof of Landauer’s principle that is completely independent from the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
O uso de ISRS na gestação e a incidência de transtornos psiquiátricos e do neurodesenvolvimento na infância: uma revisão integrativa.

Published: January 2024

Sabe-se que a depressão e a ansiedade são complicações frequentes durante a gravidez e que

tais enfermidades, assim como o uso dos Inibidores Seletivos de Recaptação de Serotonina

(ISRS) como fluoxetina, sertralina, paroxetina, citalopram e escitalopram podem acarretar

danos tanto para mãe quanto para o filho. O presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir os

riscos e benefícios da necessidade de usar esses psicofármacos durante a gestação e as

consequências de transtornos psiquiátricos e transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento na prole.

Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa baseada em trabalhos científicos com dados originais. Nos

resultados, foram encontrados 13 artigos no total, sendo que se observou que as principais

consequências psiquiátricas encontradas para o feto foram TEA, TDAH, Síndrome da má

adaptação e aumento na possibilidade de desenvolver depressão e/ou ansiedade futuras.

Discutiu-se, todavia, que tanto a psicopatologia materna quanto o uso de ISRS na gestação

podem ter efeitos negativos na prole. Diante de tal realidade, faz-se preciso saber manejar o

tratamento de tais gestantes e o mais importante ao se tomar a decisão de iniciar ou manter o

uso de ISRS é levar em consideração a gravidade da doença, incluindo o risco de suicídio, outras

condições clínicas associadas, disponibilidade de opções terapêuticas não farmacológicas e as

possíveis consequências da doença psiquiátrica materna para o recém-nascido e a família.

Refill drinking water is one of the alternative products to meet the drinking water needs of the community. Water is an inseparable part of all humans. This is because living things cannot live if there is no water, so water is needed to maintain the survival of living things. Therefore, this researcher aims to determine the quality of refill drinking water, whether the product meets the quality standards that have been set or not. Safe drinking water must meet established standards starting from the physical, chemical, microbiological, and radioactive aspects in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. According to the results of the 2013 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the incidence and prevalence of diarrhea in all age groups in Indonesia are 3.5 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively. The incidence of diarrhea is closely related to the quality of sanitation and ground water used by the community. The results showed that from the results of this study, 37.5% of DAMIU Teluk Ambon District, North Balikpapan Regency met the effective criteria, namely 66.67% (20) from 30 depots and those included in the ineffective criteria were 33.33%. (10) of 30 depots. This indicates that groundwater for sanitation and water at the sampling sites are generally contaminated by coliform bacteria.

Published: January 2024

Objectives. To describe the implementation of a novel disease surveillance model in Puerto Rico, the Municipal Case Investigation and Contact Tracing System for COVID-19, established during the pandemic as the primary response.

Methods. We analyzed data from July 2020 to June 2021, including all COVID-19 cases reported by public and private laboratories in Puerto Rico to describe the accomplishments and limitations of the surveillance.

Results. During the first year, the system was successfully implemented in all Puerto Rican municipalities, collecting data on more than 132 000 confirmed COVID-19 cases. It improved case investigation coverage, reduced laboratory reporting times, and facilitated community engagement for ongoing response enhancements.

Conclusions. Surveillance systems of this scale were new to Puerto Rico’s Health System, and there was a steep learning and improvement curve. This approach enabled tailored health education, equitable distribution of testing and treatments, and surveillance by educational institutions.

Public Health Implications. Near-real-time epidemiological data publication promoted trust, education, and evidence-based policymaking. (Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S1):S96–S102. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307493 )

We aimed to determine the effect of a brief educational intervention on COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, beliefs, and vaccination intention in Black and Hispanic communities in Houston, Texas. As part of the Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities study (2020–2022), 1606 Black and Hispanic adults completed Web-based surveys before and after viewing COVID-19 educational materials. The intervention significantly improved health beliefs and vaccination intention. Disseminating short and ethnically appropriate educational materials is an effective strategy to decrease vaccine hesitancy in minority populations.

Published: January 2024

Making data accessible to communities is essential for developing community-driven solutions to address health inequities. In this analytic essay, we highlight the importance of democratizing data for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs)—diverse populations that historically have had little access to their data—in the context of achieving equity in health and the social drivers of health.

We provide a framework for evaluating community accessibility of data, which includes concepts of data availability, salience, cost, and report back. We apply the framework to evaluate community accessibility of NHPI data from 29 federal data sources. In addition, we provide results from a survey of NHPI-serving community organizations in California conducted from December 2021 to February 2022 to assess community data needs.

Findings reveal federal gaps in data accessibility, as well as NHPI community organizational needs for increased data accessibility, data saliency, and technical capacity. Furthermore, organization leads expressed concerns about data privacy, security, and misuse. We provide recommendations for data custodians to improve accessibility of timely, accurate, and robust data to support NHPI communities.

Authors: Oommen Anil Thomas , Timothy Jozy , S Gokulprasath , VV Ramu
Published: January 2024

Case:

An 18-year-old autistic boy with seizure disorder had a 4-month-old hip injury with a similar right hip injury 6 months earlier. X-rays revealed an ununited fracture neck femur on the left and a malunited fracture neck femur on the right hip. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated preserved head vascularity. Valgus osteotomy and double-angle plate fixation of both hips were performed at an interval of 2 months.

Conclusion:

Delayed presentation bilateral neck fractures are rare. X-rays showed healed fractures with no avascular necrosis in both hips at 2-year 6-month follow-up. Valgus osteotomy is ideal and relevant for osteosynthesis in selected ununited femur neck fractures.
Age-Based Incidence of Dens Fracture Has Unimodal Distribution Rather Than Commonly Claimed Bimodal Distribution
Authors: Somogyi Rita , Smith Spencer , Kark Jonathan , Ryu Won Hyung A. , Yoo Jung
Published: January 2024

Background:

Type-II dens fractures have long been described in the literature as occurring in a bimodal distribution, peaking in young adulthood as well as in older adulthood; however, the origin of this claim is unclear. The primary goal of this study was to examine the incidence of type-II dens fractures and assess for bimodality.

Methods:

This is a retrospective cross-sectional review of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) records on traumatic type-II dens fractures between October 2015 and December 2016. Rates were obtained from the NTDB, and the incidence per 100,000 was ascertained by utilizing U.S. Census data from 2016. Subgroupings by gender and Black or White race were also examined.

Results:

Dens fractures occur unimodally, peaking around 89 years of age overall, skewed left by high rates in older White adults. The Black subgroup demonstrated trimodality, with the fracture incidence peaking at 25, 62, and 82 years of age. Rates among Black and White patients were similar until age 65, after which dens fractures occurred disproportionately in White patients. Fractures prior to age 75 occurred predominantly in men.

Conclusions:

The evidence derived in this study challenges the common belief that type-II dens fractures occur bimodally across the entire population. However, there remains utility in considering younger and older patients as distinct groups for the purposes of management.

Capital market players or investors will consider several elements that can indicate the state of the company, such as examining financial reports from cash flow to profit and loss statements. In addition, the company's share price will ultimately be related to its market capitalization value. The profits obtained by investors will increase along with the increase in stock market capitalization, and the greater the appreciation, the higher the level of profit from an alternative investment. This study aims to determine the effect of net income and net cash flow on market capitalization. Secondary data in the form of Sharia Banking quarterly financial reports that have been listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for 2019-2022 is the source of the data. Three samples for this research sample were obtained, namely Bank Panin Dubai Syariah (PNBS), Sharia National Pension Savings Bank (BTPS), and Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). Panel data regression analysis with the Eviews 12 program was used in this study. The results show that partially net income has a negative and insignificant impact while net cash flow has a positive and significant impact on market capitalization. Meanwhile, market capitalization is simultaneously influenced by net profit and net cash flow variables.
Simulated barge impacts on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) composite sandwich panels : dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) to develop force time histories to be used on experimental testing
Authors: Perez-Rivera Anthony , Trovillion Jonathan , Stynoski Peter , Ryan Jeffrey
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dynamic response of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sandwich panels subjected to typical barge impact masses and velocities to develop force time histories that can be used in controlled experimental testing. Dynamic analyses were performed on FRP composite sandwich panels using the finite element method software Abaqus/Explicit. The “traction-separation” law in the Abaqus software is used to define the cohesive surface interaction properties to evaluate the damage between FRP composite laminate layers as well as the core separation within the sandwich panels. Numerical models were developed to better under-stand the damage caused by barge impacts and the effects of impacts on the dynamic response of composite structures. Force, displacement, and velocity time histories were obtained with finite element modeling for several mass and velocity cases to develop experimental testing procedures for these types of structures.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal malignant disorder of hematopoietic stem cell characterized by the classical chromosomal translocation, Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in more than 90% of the patients. CML is associated with significantly high granulocyte numbers in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India aimed to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of CML patients. We have evaluated the demographic, clinical, and hematological data of 158 consecutive patients who visited the hospital from 2012 to 2014. Results: The diagnosis and stage of CML were determined based on the World Health Organization criteria, followed by the polymerase chain reaction. 158 patients evaluated in this study, consist of males (n = 98, 62%) which was higher than females (n = 60, 38%)( M:F::1.6:1). The mean + SD of male and female was 35.6 + 12.7, mean + SD of males was ( 35.7+ 13.6) and mean + SD of females was ( 35.4+11.3). While 17 (10.7%) patients were below 20 years of age, 94 (59.4%) were between 21–40 years, 40 (25.3%) were between 41–60 years, and 7 (4.4%) were more than 60 years of age. The predominance of younger patients (59.4.%) were belong to the age group of 21-40 years. While the most predominant symptom was fatigue and bone pain, the most common clinical sign was hepato-splenomegaly, followed by remarkable weight loss, and epistaxis. Conclusion: A patient with an increased WBC count, weakness, bone pain, low LAP score and hepatosplenomegaly should clearly be evaluated for CML.

Starting from the encounter of the first case of H1N1 influenza virus in the year 2009 reported from the town of Mexico to its lay out across the globe; H1N1 virus has affected thousands of people in India. Since then this seasonal virus keeps on mutating (S181T and I312V) becoming more and more harmful and dangerous causing various serious complications. With its ability to regenerate and mutate at a faster rate this virus has RNA as its genetic material which is a combination of three different species; humans, avian and swine, targeting a larger spectrum of hosts turning out to be extra severe. Evidence have shown that the elderly and children are the most affected by the virus due to low immune response by the body. Common symptoms of H1N1 include fever, chills, sore throat ,etc. The situation may turn fatal if left untreated.

Candida is a commensal & present in moist region of the human body. It also acts as an opportunistic pathogen that is prevalent in immunocompromised patients such as in case of HIV, hepatitis B, Cancer or also in diabetic patients. In COVID19 era, it also causes no. of cases in COVID19 patients due immunosuppression. It also known by name i.e. white fungus. The numbers of cases mainly increase in patients who are hospitalized due to the COVID19, because in hospital there are number of resistance organisms which are present in hospital environment.C. auris is reported in India but also in all over the world. Rise of antifungal resistance in Candida also become a big problem for public health sector. Due to this, Candida acquired resistance against azole, polynes & echinocandins. This resistance mechanism increased due to over expression of genes such as SNQ2, TPO3, ABC1, ERG11, ERG2, ERG3, ERG5, ERG6 which gain in function through mutation in the transcription that leads to alteration in gene expression that cause increase in drug efflux pumps, increased concentration of lanosterol 14α-demethylase & point alteration in which ergosterol content decreased in cells. Diagnosis can be done by multiplex PCR technique, to know the gene which responsible for antifungal drugresistance in that particular Candida specie.
