Published: November 2023

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide suffered from hypertension. Dayak onion is an herbal plant found in Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan and traditionally used to treat hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Dayak onion steeping water on the reduction of systolic-diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in hypertensive patients.
Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a time series approach, utilizing a pre-post-test design with a control group. The sample included two groups (intervention and control), totaling 30 participants. The independent variable was the steeping of Dayak onion bulbs, while the dependent variables were blood pressure values and MAP. The instruments used were Standard Operating Procedures (SPO) Dayak onion herb, SPO blood pressure measurement, SPO calculation of MAP, and a digital sphygmomanometer. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests.
Results: The results of the paired t-test statistical analysis of systolic-diastolic values and MAP in each group revealed significant findings. In the intervention group, a significant result was obtained in the pre-post test difference test, with a p-value of < 0.05 from day 1 to day 3 assessments. This suggests that Dayak onion steeping water had an effect on systolic-diastolic and MAP values in the intervention group. In contrast, the pre-post test in the control group yielded a p-value of < 0.05 for systolic values on days 2 and 3, diastolic values on days 1 and 3, and MAP values on days 1, 2, and 3. This indicates differences in systolic-diastolic and MAP values in the pre-post assessments, although these differences were not evenly distributed across every day.
Conclusion: The study found that Dayak onion steeping water had an effect on systolic-diastolic and MAP values in the intervention group. Thus, the use of Dayak onion steeping water, containing allicin, can be considered an approach for controlling hypertension in the realm of complementary and alternative medicine, utilizing natural ingredients for herbal therapy.

Background and Aims:

Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with several morbidities and high rate of mortality. Predicting these morbidities can be helpful in managing patients and can prevent possible complications, result from IE. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), monocyte to high density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio Charlson comorbidity index, and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (Euro SCORE) in complicated cases of IE.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective study was conducted on a referral center from January 2017 to December 2020. Patients with definite or possible diagnosis of IE based on the modified Duke criteria were included in this study. Demographic information and serum levels of N-terminal pro BNP, D-Dimer, CRP were evaluated in patients. In addition, we used Charlson comorbidity index and The Euro SCORE for subjective assessment.

Results:

One hundred and four patients (64 males, median age: 58) included in the final analysis. Intracardiac involvement, central nervous system (CNS) complications and systemic complications were observed in nine patients (9.7%), 16 patients (15.4%), and eight patients (7.7%) respectively. The mortality rate was 14.4%. D-dimer (P = 0.008), pro-BNP (P = 0.008), and Charlson criteria (P = 0.012) were higher in patients with systematic complications. In addition, NT pro-BNP was significantly associated with CNS complications (P = 0.04) and D-Dimer level was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (P = 0.008).

Conclusion:

Serum biomarkers such as pro-BNP and D-dimer, and comorbidity indices can be used for risk stratification of patients with IE. The level of pro-BNP is significantly associated with CNS complications and the level of D-dimer is significantly with mortality in patients with IE.

Published: November 2023

La evaluación del potencial turístico permite delimitar el nivel de atractivo de un destino en función de la planificación turística, estableciendo las bases para el desarrollo turístico local. Hasta la fecha, se han realizado numerosas investigaciones dirigidas a la medición del potencial turístico desde un enfoque sintético. Sin embargo, aún existen inconvenientes que deben ser superados, tales como la no normalización de los datos y la modelización de factores determinantes estáticos, lo que presupone una desventaja a la hora de enfrentar nuevos esquemas de investigación inmersos en big data. En el presente estudio, se desarrolla un modelo sintético generalizado para la evaluación del potencial turístico, que permitirá estandarizar la cuantificación del nivel de atractivo de los destinos de manera flexible, normalizada y acotada en un intervalo interpretable, con utilidad para los agentes de los destinos turísticos. Se realizó una aplicación de la técnica propuesta en el centro histórico de Santiago de Cuba y se concluyó que este destino posee un potencial turístico alto.

Published: November 2023

This work analyzes an inventory of the touristic resources of the province of Burgos (Spain) and identifies with it the municipalities with the greatest touristic attraction, thus identifying the target points that facilitate the planning of the fieldwork process to obtain the opinion of tourists. To provide an analytical approach, this study adopts a quantitative technique by constructing a weighted synthetic index following a hierarchical process. The results show that the province of Burgos stands out for its high natural or landscape heritage, with access through minor roads and with a high offer of hotels and rural houses as well as restaurants and cafeterias. Fairs declared of interest, access by rail and the offer of hostels, apartments and campsites offer fewer outstanding values. The work proposes the realization of around 383 observations in each of the eight target points identified. The results obtained are clear enough to motivate decision-makers to address their efforts and investments in improving and adjusting their strategies to increase the quality of offer and demand in the touristic sector.

History of Buha Pre-Colonial Social Formation up to 1890
Authors: Alstack Cornery N.
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the history of Buha pre-colonial social formation up to 1890. The main objective of this paper is to trace the history of Buha prior to its colonization. It focuses on social formation from pre-colonial period up 1890. This paper applied the theory of historical materialism which centers on the material production as the major force behind the development of any society in human history. Qualitative research methodology was used to gather the data needed from the primary sources. Oral interview was conducted with selected knowledgeable informants to complements other information from the primary sources. Data from secondary sources was gathered through review of books, isolated articles, articles in journals, as well as from published and unpublished documents including archival sources. The main argument in this paper is that before colonial period the people of Buha had reached higher level of social formation in terms of their political, social and economic developments. It was the intrusion of foreign immigrants from other societies and principally from parts of eastern Africa such as Tutsi that brought about some changes in the social set up of Buha.
Role of Kenya’s Foreign Policy in Addressing National Health Security
Authors: Muthigani Beatrice Mucheru
Published: November 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 accelerated the rising profile of national health security, given its indiscriminate devastation of economies and livelihoods. Health has thus become an issue of strategic importance in global discourse. The study sought to explore the mechanisms that are in place for cooperation between the two sectoral dockets of foreign affairs and health in Kenya in the implementation of foreign policy towards achieving health security objectives. It adopted a desktop review of secondary data, which was subsequently analyzed thematically. The study found that health interests are contemplated within the broader framework of cooperation with other states and organizations. However, the absence of a “health diplomacy” pillar in Kenya’s foreign policy exposes an existing gap in operational clarity among the foreign policy practitioners. This notwithstanding, existing cooperation has brought about tangible health benefits, including the campaign and efforts to rollback major diseases, while bilateral frameworks have provided for investments in the sector, exchange of personnel and expertise, and transfer of technology. The foreign affairs and health ministries have a significant level of interaction towards delivering the national health security agenda, albeit in silo-like manner. As the prominence of health as an issue of strategic importance ascends, a case is being made for the addition of “health diplomacy” pillar, into the Foreign Policy to alleviate the identified gap.

Background: Research is important and not new to nursing. Evidence suggests that nursing students must be involved in research from school. Despite this, research output in nursing from low and middle-income countries like Nigeria is low. Also, little is known about the knowledge and perception of nursing students in Nigeria towards research. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the level of knowledge of nursing students in Nigeria about research, assessing their perception regarding research while also investigating factors influencing their perception and finding out means to improve their perception.
 
Aim: To assess the knowledge and perception of nursing students in Nigeria towards the conduct of research and to identify factors affecting their perception and strategies to improve on it.
 
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study using an online survey/e-questionnaire was conducted among 422 Nigerian nursing students from the six geopolitical zones using a multistage sampling technique. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square at 0.05 level of significance.
 
Results: The respondents had high, moderate, and low levels of research, 41(10%), 196(48%), 173(42%), respectively. The overall perception was positive, with 245(60%) respondents. Influencing research perception was lack of resources such as journals and funds (4.26±1.05). Appropriate teaching of research methodology, adequate training of students before conducting major research, and provision of resources such as institution’s/institutional databases (4.64±0.66), (4.63±0.72), (4.61±0.72) (respectively) were suggested to improve perception towards research. The academic level was significantly related to the e level of research knowledge with (x2=20.855, p=.022), at p< .050
 
Conclusion: Since the perception towards research was good but knowledge level low, the following are recommended: appropriate teaching of research methodology for easy comprehension, adequate training before conducting research and provision of access to journals and funds for conducting research.

Published: November 2023

The multidimensional specific disorders search in elderly patients is determined by their complex clinical profile due to multimorbidity, polypharmacy, functional decline and geriatric syndromes. The purpose of this research was to assess the frequency of symptoms of physical and mental disorders in dependence of age in multimorbidity elderly patients based on self-survey. 398 patients aged 50-89 were interviewed using the original "Geriatric Assessment" questionnaire. The answers to questions concerning physical and mental state, sensory deficits and chronic pain were analyzed in four groups divided by age decades. The majority of symptoms associated with geriatric syndromes increase with age excluding anxiety and shortness of breath. The frequency of symptoms increases quantitatively in different ways: registration of inability to climb stairs and weakness enlarge most significantly (more than 12 times). The total score reflecting the burden of quantity and severity of symptoms increased most pronouncedly in the group of 80-89 years compared to the group of 70-79 years. Heterogeneity in total scores is most pronounced in the age groups 50-59 years and 80-89 years.
The age-related increase in the frequency of symptoms associated with geriatric syndromes demonstrates differences that are determined by the specificity of the symptom declared.

VULNERABILIDAD SOCIAL POR GÉNERO EN PANAMÁ, DE CARA A LOS RIESGOS POTENCIALES ANTE EL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO
Authors: Martínez Núñez Inés
Published: November 2023

La vulnerabilidad social como concepto se ha abordado desde innumerables campos de estudio, en virtud de la pluralidad de elementos que le componen, y se corresponde como uno de los tópicos de mayor vigencia en la actualidad si se aborda desde la perspectiva de género, ante los constantes desafíos que enfrenta el mundo por los cambios climáticos; a groso modo se puede definir  como “las características de una persona o grupo y su situación, que influencian su capacidad de anticipar, lidiar, resistir y recuperarse del impacto de una amenaza.” (Wisner, et al., 2004, 11). Ahora bien, al dirigir la mirada a Panama, se puede conocer que los indices de desigualdad son elevados, tal como lo narra De la Cruz (2020), para un artículo presentado en  TVN, el cual hace alusion al documento presetnado por el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD), denomiado  “Impacto del COVID-19 en Panamá: análisis socioeconómico”, en el cual se planean debilidades estructurales que afectan las oportunidades de desarrollo de las personas de acuerdo con su ciclo de vida, género, etnia, nivel socioeconómico y condiciones particulares como: la discapacidad, situación migratoria y necesidades de protección, entre otras. En virtud de esto, se plantea en el actual artículo, un estudio de corte documental, descriptivo y exploratorio, en donde se esboza el análisis de la vulnerabilidad social por género en Panamá de cara a los riesgos potenciales ante  el cambio climático, con la finalidad de describir los elementos más resaltantes a nivel social, los cuales permitan plantear premisas para estudios posteriores a profundidad, dada la relevancia del tema en función de las desigualdades sociales existentes en el país, y que permita sufragar proyectos de interés social.
Examining Communication Between Florida Agriculture and Natural Resource Organizations’ Leaders and Membership to Foster Policy Engagement. 
Authors: Caroline R. Warwick  , Shelli D. Rampold  , Levy Randolph  , Ricky W. Telg
Published: November 2023

The agricultural sector has been influenced significantly by agriculture and natural resources (ANR) policies voted in by elected officials. Many agricultural organizations and their members have sought to provide a ‘voice’ for the ANR industry and communicate with policymakers about emerging issues. It is necessary that such organizations and members be able to use that voice effectively. This study was conducted to examine the communication preferences of Florida agricultural organization members and factors that may encourage them to contact elected officials about an ANR policy. Respondents in this study least preferred to be contacted by their organization(s) via phone call or text message. They also identified local Extension offices and the university as the most trustworthy sources of communication regarding ANR policy. When contacting members to spur involvement in ANR policy decisions, organizational leaders should use a variety of communication mediums, including email magazines and printed newsletters and magazines, to promote engagement in ANR policy discussions. Future research is needed to examine other factors that may influence agriculture organization members’ communication with elected officials, as well as the types of messaging strategies organizational leaders can use to further members’ engagement in ANR policy decisions.
Confidence in Life
Authors: Anderson Matthew Lee
Published: November 2023

Confidence in Life offers a theologically-robust evaluation of the good of procreation, which emerges out of both careful interactions with contemporary analytic philosophy and a reconstructed reading of Karl Barth’s doctrine of (pro)creation. While analytic moral philosophy has rarely been brought into close proximity to Barth’s work, the conjunction underscores the deep difficulty of accounting for procreation’s value within non-theological frameworks, and helps clarify what is distinctive and valuable about Barth’s own moral reasoning on this subject.

Though primarily staged as an intervention in Protestant moral theology, Confidence in Life’s rehabilitation of the Virgin Mary’s role in Barth’s thought has promise for an ecumenical retrieval of the good of procreating within the economy of redemption—and its retrieval of honour as an indispensable aspect of Barth’s theology will be of interest to Barth scholars and moral theologians alike.
New Materialisms and Embodied Encounters in Education
Authors: Coats Cala
Published: November 2023

This open access book develops a theory of 'vital curiosity' as a transdisciplinary force that activates ecological flows of connection across pedagogical spaces, disciplinary bodies, curricular structures, and institutional ontologies. Educational approaches and values are currently being rethought in light of global economic and environmental crises, posing fundamental questions about desire, access, responsibility, ethics, and relationality in teaching and learning. Cala Coats explores curiosity’s vital force as a critical learning disposition and creative process that activates movement and attraction through aesthetic disruptions and embodied connections, propelled through affective ruptures and durational commitments toward affirmative complexity.

Chapters follow questions and connections that emerge from embodied encounters in schools, homes, public spaces, and the natural environment, illuminating residual patterns of colonization and commodification across bodies, territories, and knowledge. While this book is rooted in questions of schooling and education, it serves as a proposition to realize curiosity’s vital energy as an affirmative ethico-aesthetic force in any context. Drawing on new materialist and posthuman theories, the book puts forward an image of educational life, as it extends from curiosity, as a radical pedagogical practice.

Reservation “Capitalism”
Authors: Miller Robert J.
Published: November 2023

This unique book investigates the history and future of American Indian economic activities and explains why tribal governments and reservation communities must focus on creating sustainable privately and tribally owned businesses if reservation communities and tribal cultures are to continue to exist.

Native American peoples suffer from health, educational, infrastructure, and social deficiencies that most Americans who live outside of tribal lands are wholly unaware of and would not tolerate. By creating sustainable economic development on reservations, however, gradual, long-term change can be effected, thereby improving the standard of living and sustaining tribal cultures.

Reservation "Capitalism": Economic Development in Indian Country supplies the true history, present-day circumstances, and potential future of Indian communities and economics. It provides key background information on indigenous economic systems and property rights regimes in what is now the United States, and explains how the vast majority of native lands and natural resource assets were lost. The book focuses on strategies for establishing privately and publicly owned economic activities on reservations and creating economies where reservation inhabitants can be employed, live, and buy the necessities of life, thereby enabling complete tribal self-sufficiency and self-determination.
The Rolling Stones
Authors: Nelson Murry R.

The Stones far outlasted the Beatles and all the other 60s-era British bands, however The Rolling Stones not only continued, but flourished, their tours drawing enormous crowds for decades.

The Rolling Stones: A Musical Biography chronicles the fascinating adventures of these Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and sheds light on what has allowed these music legends to enjoy such lifelong popularity and success.

DNA Technology
Authors: Newton David E.
Published: November 2023

This accessibly written book introduces readers to DNA—one of the most important technologies for the manipulation of all forms of life, from simple bacteria to plants and animals. It also addresses the most important social, ethical, political, economic, and other issues raised by this form of technology.

The great strides made in our understanding of the structure and function of DNA in recent decades have led to applying this invaluable knowledge to use in serving humanity. For example, recent discoveries in the field of genetic editing have created the potential for the creation of life forms de novo, a possibility that results in profound ethical issues for the human race that are just beginning to be discussed. What other positive—and potentially negative—developments are coming our way with continuing advancements in DNA research? DNA Technology: A Reference Handbook provides an up-to-date historical overview and general technical background to the topic as well as a broad introduction to current issues related to the development of DNA technology, such as genetically modified organisms, the use of DNA technology in the forensic sciences, and genetic testing and genetic therapy.

Written by David E. Newton, an author and former teacher who has dedicated a lifetime to authoring educational texts on science and technology, this book examines the history of DNA technology from its discovery in the 1950s to the present day and covers recent advances, such as new methods for gene editing, including CRISP-Cas9 technology. Readers need to have little or no background knowledge of the technology of genetic engineering to improve their understanding of DNA-based technologies and how DNA research influences many current issues and debates in agriculture, food science, forensics, public health, and other fields. The single-volume work is particularly well-suited to students and young adults because of the range of references included that serve further study, such as a glossary of terms, a chronology, and an extensive annotated bibliography.
