Biofilm formation has been observed in different species of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The formation of biofilms in the airways of pneumonia patients and chronic lung patients is one of the important factors in prolonging the treatment period, exacerbating clinical symptoms and even death of patients. The present study aimed to investigate beta-lactamase genes in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli isolated from Baqiyatallah Bashagard Hospital and to evaluate their antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation. In the present study, 60 isolates from fecal samples of patients with symptoms of diarrhea and suspected Escherichia coli infection were collected and selected from Baqiyatallah Hospital of Bashagard. After confirmation of Escherichia coli strains using microbial culture and biochemical tests, the presence of three beta-lactamase genes in these isolates was examined. The ability of isolates to form biofilms and their resistance to two different antibiotics were also measured. A phenotypic study of isolates based on optical absorbance measurements showed that among the clinical Escherichia coli isolated from Baqiyatallah Hospital of Bashagard, only 10 isolates could form a strong biofilm in the microtiter plate.

Published: April 2022

The present study aims to investigate the impact of corporate governance on the profit management of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2014-2020. This study is experimental and the research method is correlational. The statistical population includes all companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The required data were collected by referring to the audited financial statements of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange over a period of 7 years for 120 companies. Eviews-10 software was also used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is no significant systematic relationship between corporate governance characteristics (board independence, duality of the CEO, and the number of board meetings) and abnormal operating cash flows at any of the significant levels (p> 0.01, p> 0.05, 0.10). Moreover, the results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between financial leverage and earning management of companies because the probability value of this variable (0.02) is less than the standard value of 0.05. In addition, the findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship among financial leverage, corporate governance, and earnings management.

Published: April 2022

The presence of myopia may be associated with a decreased demand for accommodation and hence lower convergence. This may predispose to an increased risk of developing exotropia.The study was conducted on myopic patients with extropia to compare the effect of myopic LASIK overcorrection versus myopic LASIK with optimum correction on the deviation degree of exotropia. this study was performed on 60 myopic patients with extropia. Patients were randomlly allocated in two equal groups ; group A operated by Lasik with optimum correction and group B operated by Lasik with overcorrection by -0.75. Patients were followed up one day, one week, one month and three months after surgery at each time for UCVA, manifest refraction, BSCVA, and degree of exophoria. There was a statistically significant decrease of the angle in patients underwent overcorrection (15.56±8.00) compared to patients underwent optimal correction (30.50±12.06) (P-value). This finding means that myopic refractive error overcorrection may help to improve control and alignment in intermittent exotropia. Myopic overcorrection in patients with intermittent exotropia was associated with significant improvement in the intermittent exotropia as compared with optimum correction

Use of Low and Zero Carbon Energy Technologies in Agricultural Greenhouses
Authors: Vourdoubas John
Published: April 2022

Climate change consists of a severe global environmental problem threatening the prosperity of our societies. Greenhouses utilize electricity and heat covering their energy needs while they mainly use fossil fuels and electricity derived by them. Heat energy has the highest share in the overall energy mix. The use of low and zero carbon technologies in agricultural greenhouses is presented in the current study. Solar energy, wind energy, biomass and geothermal energy can be used for heat and power generation in them. Various low carbon energy technologies including co-generation systems, heat pumps, fuel cells, district heating systems and low grade rejected heat can be also used for covering part or all of their energy needs. Many of these technologies are mature, reliable and cost-efficient while they are already used in greenhouses as well as in other sectors. They can replace fossil fuels reducing their carbon emissions due to energy use in them. Our results indicate that use of various reliable, mature and cost-efficient renewable and low carbon energy technologies in greenhouses can replace fossil fuels reducing or even zeroing the carbon emissions due to energy use in them.

Authors: Lahham Shadi
Published: April 2022

Introduction Advanced medical imaging is often lacking in rural countries, including Tanzania. Few studies have evaluated POCUS teaching to healthcare providers in Tanzania. Our objective was to determine if clinical officers could be taught POCUS by first-year medical students. A second objective was to determine if students learned better in English or Kiswahili. Methods Clinical officers were recruited from the Tandabui Institute of Health Sciences and Technology in Mwanza, Tanzania. Subjects took a pre-course, post-course, and practical exam. Between testing, students were taught an ultrasound course by first-year medical students. The students were randomly assigned into the Kiswahili or English group with identical examinations. Results 78 subjects were included in the final data collection. 42 were in the Kiswahili course and 36 in the English course. The median pre-course exam score was 26.9 (Min: 7.7, Max: 53.9) for the English group and 30.8 (Min: 0, Max: 61.5) for the Kiswahili group (All scores are in 0-100 scale). The median Post- course score rose to 93.3 (Min: 20.0, Max: 100.0) in English (P<0.001) and 80.0 (Min: 33.3, Max: 100.0) in Kiswahili (P<0.001). No significant score difference was found between the two groups (P= 0.19). Conclusions Our study found that POCUS can be taught to clinical officers in Tanzania using first-year medical students. There was no difference in the ability of students to learn ultrasound in English or Kiswahili. Future large scale studies are needed to validate these findings and evaluate long-term retention.

Published: April 2022

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to a variety of clinical symptoms, immunological dysfunction, and changes in the gut microbiota. Probiotics are live microbes that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits on their hosts. The intestinal microbiota, which may play a role in the defensive mechanisms against possible pathogens by fostering a wide variety of immune–host interactions, is influenced by the nutritional and biochemical quality of one’s food. This study, aims to find out the therapeutic value of administering probiotics to COVID-19 patients with regards to reduction of symptoms. Methods: An observation study was conducted among Covid-19 RT-PCR positive patients after getting informed consent. Total of 428 patients with or without symptomatic patients were included in this study. Probiotic dose of 120 millions CFU/ day was given to the covid-19 patients for minimum of 10days and maximum of 20 days, irrespetive of the severity of the disease. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to obtain patients clinical history, comorbid conditions and sociodemographic details. Patients clinical conditions were compared after availing the treatment of probiotics. Results: In this cohort, 428 cases were enrolled after getting informed consent from the patients. After consuming 10 days of probiotics, almost 99.9 % recovered from the symptoms and 75% of them did not required O2 supply or ventilator and hospital admission. Only few have (2%) post covid symptoms like joint pain and guiddiness. Conclusion: Probiotics significantly reduced the clinical symptoms of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Probiotics may have a good supporting role in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 and its early application is recommended to prevent complications.

Solid dispersion is widely utilized to promote the dissolution rate of molecules that are poorly aqueous soluble. This study aimed at enhancing the rate of dissolution and solubility of diclofenac sodium by utilizing solid dispersions prepared with Parkia biglobosa based - polymeric carriers. A phase solubility study was conducted to investigate the capacity of the polymers to improve the drug's solubility. Solid dispersions of Parkia biglobosa mucilage, modified Parkia biglobosa mucilage, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) at different drug to polymer ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 were prepared by the kneading technique. The percentage yield, encapsulation efficiency, and solubility at pH 7.4 of the prepared solid dispersions were evaluated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the formulations. The release rate of the encapsulated solid dispersions was also examined. At room temperature, the aqueous solubility of pure diclofenac sodium was found to be 18.64mg/ml. Diclofenac sodium solubility was increased by 1.8 and 2.6 folds with 0.5% Parkia biglobosa polymeric carrier and modified Parkia biglobosa polymeric carrier, respectively. The percentage yield ranged from about 66 to 97%. None of the formulations exhibited an encapsulation efficiency less than 75 %. The modified Parkia biglobosa polymeric based - solid dispersions all released over 95% of the drug within 30 minutes. The Parkia biglobosa polymeric based - solid dispersions prepared by the kneading method enhanced the solubility and dissolution rate of diclofenac sodium.

This study investigated the antioxidant potential of the methanol extract Dalbergia saxatilis leaf using the cotton pellet-induced granuloma method in Wistar rats. Thirty rats of both sexes weighing 150-200 g were divided into five groups of six rats each. Group one received distilled water 1ml/kg, group two received ascorbic acid 250 mg/kg, while groups three, four, and five received graded doses of the methanol leaf extract of Dalbergia saxatilis (250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg) respectively daily for 9-days. The rats were sacrificed on the 10th day. Blood samples were collected in plain bottles for evaluation of oxidative stress markers which include superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Results showed that the extract at the highest dose (1000 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.001) decreased MDA concentration similar to the vitamin C at 250 mg/kg, while the other doses of the extract decreased MDA concentration but was not significant. Increased CAT concentration was observed in the 500 and 1000 mg/kg though not significant. Increased concentrations of SOD and GSH were also observed across all doses of the extract but only significant at highest and lowest doses respectively. These findings suggest that, the methanol leaf extract of Dalbergia saxatilis possesses antioxidant properties which may be via its action on MDA, SOD, CAT, and GSH.

Menggagas Pembelajaran Agama Kristen Berbasis Misiologi
Authors: Sembiring Lena Anjarsari , Simon Simon
Published: April 2022

This paper specifically described the issue of initiating the study of Christianity based on missiology. This topic was reviewed because factually Christian education based on missiology was still not fully encouraged in religious learning in classes. This topic was discussed considering that there were still a lot of various tribes who had not been reached in missionary services. Obviously, this should not be the responsibility of missionary institutions alone, but religious institutions in the context of Christian education should also make a contribution and pay attention to it. In discussing this topic, the researchers used qualitative methods with a literature study approach. The description in discussing this article started with the Curriculum of Christian Religious Education leading to missiology. Then, the practice of mission-based learning was carried out for students in the classrooms. This was done to instill the concern of the Great Mandate from an early age. Besides, Christian Educators should live up to their missionary activities as their responsibility of their vocation as educators chosen by God to encourage the missionary movements. It was done to emulate the way how Jesus and the apostles taught but framed in missionary

Tulisan ini secara spesifik menguraikan perihal menggagas pembalajaran agama Kristen berbass misiologi. Topik ini diulas karena secara faktual pembelajaran agama Kristen berbasis misiologi masih belum sepenuhnya digalakkan dalam pembelajaran agama di kelas. Topik ini dibahas mengingat masih banyak ditemukan berbagai suku belum terjangkau dalam pelayanan misi. Tentunya tanggung jawab itu tidak hanya dibebankan kepada lembaga misi, namun lembaga keagamaan dalam konteks pendidikan Kristen turut ikut andil memerhatikannya. Di dalam menguraikan topik ini peneliti menerapkan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Uraian pembahasan pada artikel ini dimulai dari, kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Kristen itu sendiri mengarah pada misiologi. Kemudian praktik pembelajaran berbasis misiologi dilakukan di dalam kelas bagi naradidik. Ini dilakukan untuk menanamkan sejak usia dini, kepedulian pada mandat Amanat Agung. Disamping itu, Pendidik Agama Kristen menghidupi kegiatan bermisiologi, sebagai bentuk tanggung-jawab panggilannya sebagai pendidik yang dipilih oleh Tuhan untuk ikut menggalakkan gerakan bermisiologi. Hal itu dilakukan untuk meneladani jejak Yesus dan para rasul yang mengajar namun terbingkai dalam gerakan misiologi.

An iconography of Ministrombus Dekkers, 2010 (Gastropoda: Neostromboidae: Strombidae) with the description of new species
Authors: Maxwell Stephen
Published: April 2022

This iconography explores the variability and ranges of members of the Ministrombus and introduces three new species bringing the total to six in the genus. Two of these species are alluded to in previous works but were never described. M. athenius is recircumscribed and the type locality is shifted to reflect this change in taxonomic position. This paper examined 430 specimens, and used morphology and distribution patterns to delineate species. There is considerable variability in the form of each species; however, within each species complex, there are distinctive characteristics that enable taxonomic resolution. This paper adds to the growing understanding of diversity within Neostromboidae, and highlights the revisions of what are currently considered stable taxa increasing our understanding of global biodiversity.

Authors: Jose P. , Pandurangan A.G. , Hussain Abdul
Published: April 2022

The present study is Gluta travancorica Bedd. (Anacardiaceae) on different aged stems for initiating roots by treating with IAA, IBA and NAA, at concentrations of 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm had resulted in rooting of juvenile stem cuttings from1-2 year old plants. The highest rooting of 75% achieved with the use of NAA 1000 ppm from juvenile stem cuttings indicated that juvenility along with the type of auxin were critical for the successful conventional clonal propagation of the species. Thus, the clonal propagation through juvenile stem cuttings of G. travancorica is recommended as a promising method for multiplication, conservation and management of this timber resource.

The goal of this paper studying the influence of physical exercise (PE) on the human body. Physical exercise plays a vital role in the nervous system and respiratory due it has significant importance. The PE present a benefit in all functions in the body human. But if PE is not regular, it presents a high risk in humans, and humans are not safe when practices it. The impact of PE has many criteria and sub-criteria, which is complex and conflict criteria. So, the multi-criteria decision-making method is present for overcoming this problem. This problem contains incomplete and vague information. So, the neutrosophic sets are used for overcoming uncertainty. The Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is a powerful tool for the present the importance and influence criteria on others. So DEMATEL integrated with neutrosophic sets for analyzing and influence regular PE in body human-like nervous systems. An illustrative example was conducted to show the outcome of this method
