Authors: Bachir NABTI  , Wissem CHERIFI  , Bilel RABIA
Published: March 2023

Aromatherapy is a complementary medicine modality that involves the utilization of plant-derived essential oils for therapeutic purposes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of aromatherapy use among the general population and health professionals in Algeria through two surveys. The first survey was conducted over a 30-day period in 20 department and included 237 individuals, while the second survey was conducted over a six-day period in Algiers and included 61 health professionals, including physicians, pharmacists, and herbalists. Both surveys were self-administered and conducted through online platforms and various institutes, companies, shops, and stores. Our findings revealed a notable level of confusion among both the general population and health professionals between essential oils and vegetable oils. In addition, essential oils were not commonly prescribed or recommended by physicians and pharmacists, whereas herbalists were found to be more likely to suggest their use. Considering the abundant flora in Algeria and the public's interest in natural medicine, aromatherapy could potentially serve as a valuable healthcare modality by establishing scientific and therapeutic foundations, promoting the production of high-quality essential oils, and training qualified professionals. However, it is important to exercise caution when utilizing these products due to their potential toxicity, and their use should be guided by specialists in the field.

Bacteria in the rhizosphere of red onion plants grown in Ninh Hai district, Ninh Thuan province were isolated, tested for P, K solubility and antifungal ability. Bacteria were isolated and cross-cultured on two media, NBRIP containing apatite and modified Aleksandrov containing mica. Dissolved P was measured molybdate colorimetric method and dissolved K was determined based on turbidity through present of sodium tetraphenylborate. Antifungal performance was limited to selected lines and was performed by co-culture. Bacterial identification was based on two-way sequencing for 16S rDNA sequences. The five best strains out of a total of 33 isolates were TH8, TH9, TH10, VH3 and VH5, which were able to dissolve phosphate in the range of 29.4 – 54.4 mg/L P2O5, and dissolved in potassium in the range of 13.0 – 26.4 mg/L K2O, and were resistant to A. niger with inhibition efficiency from 57% – 62.6% after 7 days of co-culture. Two strains VH5 and TH8 were also capable of antagonizing F. oxysporum with the inhibition efficiency of 60.2% and 70.7%, respectively. The identification results showed that TH9, TH10 and VH5 were homologous to Enterobacter sp., TH8 was homologous to E. soli, and VH3 was homologous to Novosphingobium sp. Enterobacter and Novosphingobium had been reported to promote plant growth in addition to salt tolerance and resistance to heavy metal pollution, so these bacterial strains could be applied to the cultivation of red onions in Ninh Thuan.

Introduction: Vaccination is mentioned as a most successful way of intervention in public health. Vaccination against other diseases is usually recommended for people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS) infection. Purpose: To identify the correlation of vaccines and vaccination in patients suffering from HIV/AIDS infection. Methodology: This narrative review was based on the bibliographic search of reviews and research studies drawn from the international databases. The exclusion criterion of the articles was the language other than English and Greek. Results: HIV infection is characterized by severe immunodeficiency, which is the result of a decrease in the number of CD4+ T – lymphocytes. The right time to vaccinate a HIV patient is not precisely determined, but it is recommended for those with low CD4 values. All HIV patients are recommended to be vaccinated the annual vaccination of Influenza virus vaccination. It also is recommended to be vaccinated with the vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), the vaccination against hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV), the vaccination against herpes zoster or shingles and the vaccination against COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: People with HIV/AIDS are more vulnerable to infections from various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary patients with HIV infection be vaccinated against life-threatening diseases.

Authors: Cristina M. Miña  , Dennis G. Caballes
Published: March 2023

This study sought to evaluate the pretest and posttest results in numeracy of Grade 3 learners of the Schools Division of Legazpi City and determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the 8-Week Learning Recovery Curriculum (LRC) as the numeracy intervention program based on the perception of the Grade 3 teachers. Given that all the Grade 3 learners underwent the intervention program and there was no random assignment of participants, this study qualifies as quasi-experimental research. Methodological triangulation through collection of pretest and post test results, survey, and interview with the Grade 3 teachers is used to establish the credibility of this study. Paired-samples t test is the statistical treatment used to analyze the pretest and posttest results. Descriptive statistics was used to interpret the results of the survey on the level of effectiveness of the intervention program and to capture the percentage of attendance of the learners and teachers. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative responses. This study found that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results reflective of the t-value of -7.218, p<0.05. This improvement can be attributed to the effective implementation of the numeracy intervention program as perceived by the Grade 3 teacher-respondents. The regular attendance of the learners and teachers also contributed to the effectiveness of the implementation. With this, numeracy intervention programs with similar features as that of the 8-Week LRC can be sustained to continuously address learning gaps until the learners become grade ready in a reasonable time.

Membaca adalah keterampilan serbaguna yang tidak hanya alat dasar untuk memperoleh pengetahuan, tetapi juga mempengaruhi orang secara total pada istilah individu dan sosial. Siswa sekolah dasar merupakan anak-anak yang usianya masih di bawah umur, sehingga perlu adanya pemantauan khusus dari guru maupun orangtua agar mereka gemar membaca. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kegiatan gemar membaca, faktor pendukung dan penghambat kegiatan gemar membaca, serta solusi yang bisa meningkatkan minat baca siswa kelas 3 SD di UPT SD Negeri 49 Gresik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara bersama guru, observasi di lingkungan UPT SD Negeri 49 Gresik. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa UPT SD Negeri 49 Gresik kelas 3. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian dilakukan melalui angket, wawancara dan observasi. Desain penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti adalah menggunakan desain penelitian studi kasus. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa kelas 3 memiliki kegemaran membaca cukup tinggi jika dilakukan di fasilitas sekolah seperti di ruang perpustakaan sekolah, gazebo sekolah dan di fasilitas sekolah yang lain terkecuali di dalam kelas. Faktor yang mempengaruhi siswa tidak gemar membaca di dalam kelas adalah  siswa merasa bosan ketika harus membaca di dalam kelas, buku yang ada di dalam kelas kurang bervariasi dibandingkan buku yang ada di perpustakaan, suasana di dalam kelas tidak senyaman ketika membaca di luar kelas seperti di dalam perpustakaan, di gazebo sekolah. Solusi yang harus dilakukan oleh guru adalah tetap mengarahkan siswa membaca di dalam kelas, menciptakan ruangan khusus membaca di dalam kelas. Hal tersebut bertujuan agar siswa lebih gemar membaca di dalam kelas dan meningkatkan minat baca siswa ketika jam pelajaran tidak hanya ketika jamm istirahat saja. Namun hal tersebut masih perlu perhatian khusus dari guru untuk lebih meningkatkan kegiatan gemar membaca agar merata pada seluruh siswa di sekolah dan peran orang tua ketika siswa telah berada di luar sekolah (Rumah).
Complications in Family Reunification
Authors: Tapaninen Anna-Maria
Published: March 2023

Various international conventions define and secure the right to family, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) where the family is seen as ‘the natural and fundamental group unit of society’. Even more relevant to the current discussion is Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which states that ‘everyone has the right to respect for his private and family right, his home and his correspondence’ and that any grounds for legitimate interference must be qualified by the standards of ‘a democratic society’. Article 8 also has juridical consequences when family life is being evaluated as valid and genuine, and when legitimate interferences in it are being justified in courts of law. Human rights, like the right to family, are extremely complicated issues in the context of global movements of people. Asylum and family reunification are presently the most important admission channels to Europe for aliens. In many European countries, more than half the applications for residence permits are based on family ties. In Finland these amounted to 42 per cent of all applications in 2009, while employment-based immigration clearly decreased due to the economic  recession. The number of asylum-seekers increased, too, and then started to decline. Family migration is seen as a particularly complicated category. But this is not only because of growing numbers but also because of continuous, increasingly restrictive amendments in legislation that can be seen as a response to it.

Authors: Ina Kenji , Kato Yuko , Nanya Kengo , Hibi Satoshi , Shirokawa Yuko , Toda Tomoko , Kayukawa Satoshi
Published: March 2023

Background: Remarkable progress in cancer genomic medicine (CGM) has been made with the advent of next-generation sequencing and advanced computational data analysis approaches. In Japan gene panel testing has been covered by the National Health Insurance System since June 2019. Although Nagoya Memorial Hospital has been designated as a regional medical support hospital, their medical staff are unfamiliar with CGM and generally experience difficulty in explaining the genetic testing to cancer patients.

Methods: A multi-disciplinary CGM team was created in July 2019 to adapt to the clinical application of gene panel testing. Hospital functions were then maintained focusing on the following three aspects: a pathology system for handling genetic information, human resource development related to CGM, and a patient support system, including genetic counseling.

Results: Third party ISO15189 (International Organization for Standardization) certification was acquired for the Department of Pathology to establish a quality-assured laboratory. Here, we report on 21 cancer patients who consulted and received information from the CGM outpatient department of our hospital. Among them 14 patients were introduced into a group of certified hospitals by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare and 10 patients underwent gene panel tests.

Conclusions: As a regional medical support hospital dealing with many cancer patients, we will further improve hospital functions to match the progress in CGM.

Published: March 2023

Meta-learning is metacognition that instantly distinguishes between knowing and unknown. It is a learning method that adapts and solves new problems by self-learning with a small amount of data.A few-shot learning method is a type of meta-learning method that accurately predicts query data even with a very small support set. In this study, we propose a method to solve the limitations of the prototype created with the mean-point vector of each class. For this purpose, we use the few-shot learning method that created the prototype used in the few-shot learning method as the median prototype. For quantitative evaluation, a handwriting recognition dataset and mini-Imagenet dataset were used and compared with the existing method. Through the experimental results, it was confirmed that the performance was improved compared to the existing method.
An Investigation of the Framework for User Experience in Museum Mobile Applications
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Lin zheng , Seo Jonghwan
Published: March 2023

The design of a museum mobile application's user experience demands an in-depth comprehension of the user experience dimensions and the unique attributes of the user experience elements that users may encounter. This paper through a series of experimental studies and analyses of experiences related to the use of museum mobile applications, derives a user experience framework consisting of four dimensions and 19 elements, which has been verified for feasibility. The study shows that all four dimensions have a positive impact on user satisfaction, but the degree of impact varies. Among them, emotionality of use and ease of use have the greatest impact, while usefulness of use and multiformity of function have relatively less impact. In addition, the user experience of museum mobile application can also positively influence the user's future intention to recommend, continue using, and even the actual visit to the museum.

Published: March 2023

Recently, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based system is being developed to overcome the limitations of human resources in the apple quality classification of farmhouse. However, since convolutional neural networks receive only images of the same size, preprocessing such as sampling may be required, and in the case of oversampling, information loss of the original image such as image quality degradation and blurring occurs. In this paper, in order to minimize the above problem, to generate a image patch based graph of an original image and propose a random walk-based positional encoding method to apply the graph transformer model. The above method continuously learns the position embedding information of patches which don`t have a positional information based on the random walk algorithm, and finds the optimal graph structure by aggregating useful node information through the self-attention technique of graph transformer model. Therefore, it is robust and shows good performance even in a new graph structure of random node order and an arbitrary graph structure according to the location of an object in an image. As a result, when experimented with 5 apple quality datasets, the learning accuracy was higher than other GNN models by a minimum of 1.3% to a maximum of 4.7%, and the number of parameters was 3.59M, which was about 15% less than the 23.52M of the ResNet18 model. Therefore, it shows fast reasoning speed according to the reduction of the amount of computation and proves the effect.

Published: March 2023

Depilatory creams are widely used in research to remove hair in preparation for surgery, imaging, and other procedures. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of these creams on mouse skin. We sought to determine the cutaneous effects of 2 different depilatory formulations
of a widely used brand as related to the duration of exposure. We compared a standard body formula [BF] and a facial formula [FF] that is marketed as being more gentle on skin. The cream was applied to one flank for 15, 30, 60, or 120 s; hair on the contralateral flank was clipped and used
as a control. Treatment and control skin were scored for gross lesions (erythema, ulceration, and edema), degree of depilation, and histopathologic changes. C57BL/6J (B6) and Crl:CD-1(ICR) (CD-1) mice were used to allow comparison of an inbred/pigmented strain to an outbred/albino strain.
BF caused significant cutaneous injury to both strains of mice, whereas FF produced significant cutaneous injury only in CD-1 mice. Both strains showed gross skin erythema, with the most severe erythema seen in CD-1 mice treated with BF. Contact time did not affect histopathologic changes
or gross erythema. Both formulations produced depilation comparable to clipping in both strains when left on for a sufficient duration. In CD-1, mice, BF required at least 15 s of exposure, whereas FF required at least 120 s. In B6 mice, BF required at least 30 s of exposure, whereas FF required
at least 120 s. The 2 mouse strains did not show statistically significant differences in erythema or histopathologic lesions. Overall, these depilatory creams were comparable to clippers for hair removal from mice but they produce cutaneous injury that may affect research outcomes.

Published: March 2023

The community has an important role in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 so as not to cause new sources of transmission/clusters in places where the movement of people, the interaction between humans, and large gatherings of people occurs. The community must be able to carry out activities again in the COVID-19 pandemic situation by adapting to new habits that are healthier, cleaner, and more obedient, which are implemented by all components in the community and empower all existing resources. The community's role in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 (the risk of contracting and transmitting it) must be done by implementing health protocols.  To provide an overview of the behavior and response of the community to implement health protocols by the Covid-19 Education Team in public places during the New Normal era in the city of Dumai.  This study is research with a qualitative approach. The data used in this study is to use observation which sees and directly observes people's behavior in the field and also takes some data online due to situations that require social distancing. This research was carried out in several public places, including the task stations of the Dumai City Covid-19 Education Team, which began in June-July 2020. The research subjects were the sources of data observed by the research problem.  In general, the behavior and response of the community to the implementation of health protocols during the New Normal period in public places by the Covid-19 Education Team could have been better. Moreover, several factors cause this, namely education, knowledge, and the community's economy. As well as developing issues, public confidence decreases about the dangers of the Covid-19 virus. The educational activities provided will only be meaningful if there is compliance and mutual community support.

Authors: Mutmainnah Muthia , Mawarti Indah
Published: March 2023

Violence against women and children has several very influential impacts on victims, both short term and long term such as physical, psychological and social impacts. The impact of violence on women and children can add to the problems experienced by victims and their families. Some of the physical impacts that occur on women and children who experience violence are physical injuries to the body and even death, unwanted pregnancies and declining health conditions due to permanent injuries or psychological stress. This study aims to assess the knowledge of nurses.This research is a facility-based cross-sectional study that aims to determine the level of knowledge of nurses. The sampling technique in this study was a total sampling of 56 samples, namely health workers who were directly involved in health services in Jambi City. The measuring instrument used in this study was the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) questionnaire. Data analysis using chi square This facility based cross sectional study was carried out among 56 nursing personnel from the public sector. Two thirds of nursing personnel (67%) have moderate knowledge scores and 27% have low knowledge scores; 6% have a high knowledge score on violence. The majority of learning or knowledge needs are in the moderate category and the majority do not have the readiness to deal with victims of violence. Similar to violence against women, domestic violence is also a common occurrence. Domestic violence is common enough that it does not fail to take casualties, and the factors of domestic violence are not always big problems; it can be just a small problem but very impactful if it happens to a person who is quite emotional. Domestic violence affects women, who are always victims, and men; however, women are more likely to be victims.

Authors: Zein Achyar , Marpaung Watni
Published: March 2023

Prostitution or Commercial Sex Worker (CSW) is exchanging money for sexual services. Someone who sells sexual services is referred to as a prostitute, although the term commercial sex worker is now more commonly used. Method: This study is a qualitative look at how prostitutes in Medan and Batam feel about God. When looking for information for a study on how prostitutes' religion affects their work and lives, it was found that there is not much to go on. To obtain this information, interviews were conducted. In these informal interviews, the participants may be unaware they are being interviewed systematically. The data collection strategy included in-depth interviews and observation of directly involved prostitutes. This method was used to determine how prostitutes thought about religious patterns and to improve and develop the theory. Results: Most Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) in Medan, Indonesia, are generally unfamiliar with the actual meaning of religion. You can use "Islam" even if you have never done the required worship. In addition, prostitution is viewed as a fact of life experienced alone. In general, the religious knowledge and comprehension of Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) in Batam are limited.Conclusion: Even more interesting, they know that sin and punishment are different things that do not overlap. Thus, as do prostitution-related activities, prayer, and other forms of worship continue. The causes of prostitution can be broken down into two categories: economic factors and basic needs. In comparison, the following factor is the result of association and friendship. In addition to these two factors, there are at least lifestyle, and sexuality needs as derivative factors.

Published: March 2023

 Introduction: Children and adolescents have been shown to manifest COVID-19 differently than adults, frequently displaying less severe symptoms or appearing asymptomatic as well as presenting lower risk of death. However, the effects of the pandemic, declared in March 2020, stem beyond the immediate infectious risk for this population. Our aim was to conduct a scoping review of the scientific literature and produce an online Interactive Evidence Map (IEM) highlighting the trends and available evidence around the unintended effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s and adolescents’ mental, psychosocial and physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Methods: In April 2021 a research librarian developed a broad search using key terms associated with “coronavirus” and “children”. The search was run monthly in Medline, PsycInfo, CENTRAL and the Cochrane COVID‐19 Study Register. Using pre-defined eligibility criteria, each month studies were screened by one reviewer, with all exclusions verified by a second reviewer. Eligible studies relating to the unintended mental, psychosocial and physical health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic were categorized by focus, and data were extracted relating to study design, population characteristics (e.g., age, gender, race), and outcomes examined. Categorized studies and corresponding data were then uploaded into EPPI-Reviewer and transferred to EPPI-Mapper for visualization.

Results: From May 1st 2021 through April 30th 2022, over 14,500 citations were screened; 1,445 were specifically related to the mental, psychosocial and physical health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescents. Ultimately, 826 studies were included in this scoping review and IEM. The majority of studies were cross-sectional (n=528; 64%) and reported on mental health outcomes, particularly anxiety (n=309; 37%) and depression (n=294; 36%). Psychosocial outcomes related to lockdowns such as loneliness (n=120; 15%) and impact on adolescent relationships with others (n=149; 18%) were also reported. Fewer studies examined the physical consequences of the pandemic, but those that did mostly focused on child abuse (n=73; 9%).

Conclusion: This scoping review used an innovative visualization tool to chart peer-reviewed articles and identify trends related to the unintended effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental, psychosocial, and physical health consequences of the pandemic experienced by children and adolescents. The literature we mapped had a strong focus on mental health outcomes such as anxiety and depression. Children and adolescents have been significantly affected by the pandemic and future resources need to be directed towards ongoing mental health supports and management for this unique and vulnerable population.

Objetivo: No âmbito de um projeto destinado à promoção da fertility awareness, desenvolvido pela Fertility Europe, pretendeu-se recolher informação junto de adolescentes portugueses, relativamente às suas perceções e opiniões acerca de um possível serious educational game sobre este tema. Métodos: Recorreu-se à metodologia de focus group, tendo sido elaborado um guião de questões e definidos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão dos participantes. Após a condução do focus group com oito adolescentes com idades entre os 15 e 18 anos, seguiu-se a análise de dados de forma dedutiva. Resultados: Os participantes consideraram os seus conhecimentos sobre a fertilidade e os fatores que a afetam limitados, destacando a utilidade de um jogo educativo de fertility awareness para o aprofundamento da compreensão destes conceitos, e referiram estar disponíveis para o jogar. Os adolescentes realçaram a importância de aspetos como a componente gráfica, os atributos competitivos, a expetativa de entretenimento, o potencial de aprendizagem, tal como a disponibilização de um website com informação adicional. Foram também identificadas potenciais barreiras à utilização do jogo, nomeadamente o tempo despendido na sua utilização, uma divulgação inadequada, um caráter monótono e cansativo e, ainda, poder não corresponder aos interesses de alguns jovens. Conclusões: Os participantes expressaram o desejo de obter mais conhecimentos sobre a fertilidade, considerando útil o desenvolvimento de um serious game para este efeito e demonstrando-se disponíveis para o utilizarem. Foi possível compreender as preferências dos adolescentes relativamente às características do jogo, sugerindo-se que estas sejam tidas em conta no seu desenvolvimento.

Differential expression of GTF2IRD1 in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding GTF2I repeat domain-containing 1, GTF2IRD1, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. GTF2IRD1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of GTF2IRD1 in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer in patients whose tumors are enriched for B lymphocytes. GTF2IRD1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding annexin A3, ANXA3, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. ANXA3 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of ANXA3 in rectal tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with rectal cancer. ANXA3 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

For the past decades, virtual reality (VR) has proven to be a useful tool in the treatment of anxiety disorders such as social anxiety and agoraphobia. Due to high costs and access to a limited number of standardized environments, however, it has remained poorly beneficial for profes-sional. An alternative is to use 360-degree immersive videos (360IVs) which are more affordable and allow to easily create various individualized immersive experiences. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of an individualized exposure intervention using 360IVs.
