Pneumatologia czytań patrystycznych Liturgii godzin okresu zwykłego
Authors:   Akademia Katolicka w Warszawie, Warzeszak Józef
Published: July 2022

The author of this article studied the second readings from the Office of Readings – mostly from the Fathers of the Church – of the Ordinary Time in terms of their pneumatological content, systematized them, and created an interesting outline of pneumatology that can escape the attention of clergymen who read these texts every day. He distinguished between dogmatic and ascetic statements. The first concerns classic pneumatological themes, such as: the deity of the Holy Spirit, action in Christ and with Christ, action in the Church and in an individual person, through the sacraments, especially through the sacrament of baptism. In ascetic statements, the author showed the action of the Holy Spirit as the Creator of the gift of faith and love, the Giver of seven gifts, the Architect of man’s spiritual attitudes, and the Inspirer of prayer. It is probably not a complete textbook of pneumatology, but its classic elements are visible.
La esperanza como respuesta a la exigencia ontológica de sentido.
Authors: González Suárez Lucero
Published: July 2022

Este artículo es una reflexión filosófica sobre la esperanza, cuyo punto de partida es la descripción fenomenológica hecha al respecto por Gabriel Marcel. El objetivo es desentrañar los principios metafísicos y antropológicos de dicha experiencia, mediante el análisis de sus rasgos esenciales e implicaciones éticas. La tesis a demostrar es que la esperanza, en tanto que virtud del hombre itinerante, es una experiencia fundamental a la que todo hombre puede acceder, gracias a su apertura al misterio del ser, que responde a la exigencia ontológica de sentido.

Published: July 2022

A concept for organizing an analytical data warehouse has been developed, which includes a method of interaction between data producers and a repository, a method of data circuit control, a method of data streaming, a method of storing initial data, a method of data processing and a method of providing secure data access. Other concepts on the market are discussed, namely: SDLF as the leading standard recommended by AWS, IronSource DL using Upsolver, SimilarWeb DL using Upsolver. A comparative analysis was conducted (mostly with SDLF, as its implementation is open, and the implementation by private companies is hidden). The advantages of the proposed concept over the existing ones are examined in detail. Recommendations on how to integrate the concept with data schema control applications are given. A service for streaming data using Apache Beam in Java has been developed. A repository architecture for analytics was designed and developed. A data schema management model was developed as well as a data schema management model and a model for secure access to data. The research that has been conducted can be improved by the experience of implementing the concept in business, as well as by collecting and systematizing knowledge about other standards that will be created.

No limite da cidade
Authors: Alquati Paula Mello Oliveira , Ribeiro Cristine Jaques
Published: July 2022

O presente texto se compõe de reflexões realizadas a respeito do lugar dos pobres no direito à cidade capitalista, incitadas através da leitura do livro Quarto de despejo: o diário de uma favelada, de Carolina Maria de Jesus e de sua correlação com alguns autores que trazem a questão da cidade em suas obras. Ao longo de três seções, foram abordados temas como a criminalização da pobreza e a retirada dos pobres das cidades tradicionais, quando do estabelecimento da cidade enquanto mercadoria de luxo; a cidade e a para-cidade, a ilha que a cerca, onde procuramos compreender então quem tem direito a essa cidade-negócio e quem não tem; e, por fim, procuramos trazer à tona o sonho, a esperança que nos direciona ao campo de possibilidades, ao campo da vida e da restituição do urbano, onde tratamos um pouco a respeito da utopia desenhada por Lefebvre e da arte e do sensível enquanto meios de restaurar a vida nas cidades.
A alienação em Marx
Authors: Redon Silvio , Campos Eliane Christine Santos de
Published: July 2022

A alienação é uma categoria extremamente complexa, de difícil entendimento, principalmente quando estudada a partir de certas obras de Marx, como os Manuscritos Econômicos-filosóficos de 1844, fragmentado e incompleto. Embora tal noção não tenha sido criada no bojo da teoria marxiana, é nessa vertente que ela adquire um entendimento mais alinhado à realidade social, com raízes no plano econômico. Nos valendo de uma revisão de literatura centrada no tema, esse artigo objetiva uma aproximação ao termo, uma contribuição ao seu entendimento, cujos determinantes que lhe emoldura encontram seu nexo de objetividade sob as configurações estruturais da sociedade burguesa, dominada pelo capital.
A integração do proletariado e o “materialismo interdisciplinar”
Authors: Maria Fábio De
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo tem por objeto o tratamento dado por Erich Fromm e Max Horkheimer ao fenômeno da integração social do proletariado. Além dos textos de ambos os autores, o artigo recorre às pesquisas empíricas conduzidas no início da década de 1930, no âmbito do Instituto de Pesquisa Social de Frankfurt. Mais especificamente, é analisada a pesquisa sobre a “estrutura de caráter” de trabalhadores alemães, coordenada por Erich Fromm, sendo também considerados os principais resultados das pesquisas que tinham por objeto as mudanças na sexualidade e na estrutura de autoridade da família europeia da época. Mostra-se como Horkheimer recorreu a conceitos centrais do pensamento de Marx ao examinar os temas dessas pesquisas, resultando em uma perspectiva capaz de apreender as mudanças sociais em curso.
Performance cultural y sustentabilidad. Análisis comparativo del papel del turismo en dos comunidades emberá de Panamá
Authors: Izard Martínez Gabriel
Published: July 2022

A partir del análisis comparativo de dos comunidades emberá en Panamá basado en el trabajo de campo etnográfico, se pretende reflexionar sobre la capacidad del turismo para propiciar una puesta en escena de la “tradicionalidad” que no es solo una adecuación pasiva a la demanda de autenticidad y exotismo, sino sobre todo un aprovechamiento de la oportunidad que brinda el turismo de preservar la cultura. Esta dimensión performativa de salvaguarda patrimonial, que responde a la voluntad de afirmación de un grupo preocupado por su supervivencia, contribuye al carácter sustentable de un desarrollo turístico limitado, no obstante, por la falta de control sobre el recurso principal: los turistas.

Professional Heroism: the Construction of a Pantheon of Heroes in Panama (1903-1931)
Authors: De La Guardia Wald Rolando
Published: July 2022

This article focuses on how Panamanian intellectuals and politicians searched into colonial and nineteenth century regional history for elements that could help them construct narratives, produce a new historiography, and create symbols that differentiated Panama from Colombia. This served to justify the separation of 1903, through the writing of a new national history. In addition, this article focuses on the creation of a pantheon of national heroes. The article argues that the celebration of the deeds and lives of the men chosen to enter such a pantheon of heroes intended to promote civic nationalism. Hence, most of the men chosen were civilians, not military men, who, allegedly, used their professional skills to bring progress to the nation in a peaceful manner.
Órdenes sociales, regímenes políticos y geopolítica en Centroamérica: una lectura de larga duración en el contexto del bicentenario
Authors: Cortés Ramos Alberto , Fernández Alvarado Diana
Published: July 2022

El artículo se propone hacer un balance de la trayectoria de los Estados centroamericanos desde el siglo XX hasta el presente. La delimitación temporal se relaciona con el ascenso de Estados Unidos como potencia hegemónica en la región Caribe, a partir de 1898. El trabajo discute la relación entre orden social, régimen político y geopolítica en la región centroamericana. A lo largo del análisis histórico y empírico desarrollado se concluye que si bien el orden social autoritario que ha prevalecido a lo largo del período tiene factores endógenos que son importantes, la geopolítica ha tenido un peso entre condicionante y determinante en la historia de estos Estados. Es decir, en la larga duración, la geopolítica norteamericana y las alianzas que se han establecido entre el hegemón y los actores del poder e instituciones militares han logrado bloquear los intentos de transformación y reforma, lo cual contribuye a perpetuar un orden social conservador y autoritario.
Synonymity and Lexical Simplification in Translations: A Corpus-Based Approach
Authors: Jantunen Jarmo Harri
Published: July 2022

Simplification is one of the hypothesised universals of translation. It has been investigated, firstly, through the comparison of source and target texts, and secondly, by comparing translated and non-translated texts. In this paper, the focus is on the latter type of comparison. One aspect of simplification concerns the range of lexical items used in translations as opposed to non-translations. Corpus-based investigations conducted to this day suggest that the variety of lexicon is not narrower in translated texts than in non-translated texts. One reason for this might be found in the inherent nature of synonyms. Because of several restrictions on the use of synonyms, translators might not be able to use a more restricted or narrower range of near-synonyms than writers of non-translated texts. A brief quantitative analysis is carried out to explain this issue. A comparable corpus of 2.2 million words, which consists of translated and non-translated Finnish, provides the data for this study; the source language of the translations is English and the registers are academic prose and fiction. The results support the hypothesis of an equally wide range of near-synonyms in both language variants.

Seismic activity in the continental shelf of South-Central Vietnam and adjacent regions from 2005 to 2020
Authors: Nguyen Thi Mai , Nguyen Hong Phuong , Vu Van Phong , Pham The Truyen , Bui Thi Nhung
Published: July 2022

Since 2005, 10 seismic monitoring stations have been installed in the southern part of Vietnam. These stations can detail the earthquakes in the region and adjacent areas. In the past, there was an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 (1923) in the offshore South-Central Part related to the Hon Tro eruption, the largest observed earthquake magnitude in the 20th century. Between 2005 and 2020, 371 earthquakes were recorded with magnitudes ranging from 0.7 to 5.3. Most of events were distributed on some northeast-southwest direction faults in South Central offshore. The magnitude of the representative earthquake was relatively small, Mc = 2.2, so it is assumed that this research area was of weak activity. The epicenter is about < 20 km, and the majority concentration is at a relatively shallow depth of 5km and still located in the crust of Earth. The relationship between earthquake magnitude and frequency in this region is as follows: lgN = 4.063 – 0.694*M for the entire catalog of 371 events and lgN = 3.826 – 0.704*M after filtering 92 foreshocks and aftershocks of the earthquakes M = 5.3 on November 8th, 2005, and M = 5.2 on November 28th, 2007. So, the calculated average b-values before and after filtering foreshocks and aftershocks were approximately 0.7. These values are almost approximate to the b-value of 0.76 determined by Pham Van Thuc et al., (2004) based on the East Vietnam Sea earthquake catalog from 1903 to 2002 and smaller than the b-value of 0.92 for triggered earthquakes in the Song Tranh 2 hydropower region. In addition, oil and gas exploitation activities are still taking place in the South-Central continental shelf; it is necessary to continue collecting earthquake data to elucidate the causes of earthquakes in the study region.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception about Autopsy among Community in Bandung
Authors: Pratiwi Aisyah Putri , Fitrasanti Berlian Isnia , Tanzilah Sani
Published: July 2022

Background: Autopsy is a comprehensive evaluation of the body and the circumstances surrounding an individual’s death. Currently, autopsy rates in various countries have been decreased in recent years. This decrease was due to the rejection by people who had inadequate knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about autopsies. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Bandung residents about autopsies. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive observational study involved people in the Bandung City who were over the age of 20 during the period August to September 2020. The sample was obtained using a snowball system. Research subjects filled out a questionnaire through a Google form containing questions about knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions. The results were categorized based on the median for each variable. Results: Subjects with questionnaire data obtained were 378 people with an average age of 30.30±13.48 years, and most (66.9%) were female. A total of 259 people had adequate knowledge (68.5%), 254 people (67.2%) had a positive attitude, and 249 people (65.9%) had a positive perception, with a median value of 7, 6, and 12, respectively. However, 95 people did not agree to do an autopsy on their relatives or family to determine the cause of death. Conclusion: The subject as a whole showed adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and perception. However, there are still some people who show inadequate knowledge and poor attitudes and perceptions about autopsies. It is recommended that the government and other institutions intervene in the community to increase knowledge and attitudes and improve public perception.
Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index Score in Correlation with Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio to Predict Hepatic Cirrhosis in Hepatitis C Patients
Authors: Haryanto Jane , Indrati Agnes Rengga , Rostini Tiene
Published: July 2022

Background: Tissue biopsy examination which is an invasive procedure has become the mainstay for hepatic cirrhosis identification in patients with hepatitis. Alternatively, noninvasive method using the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index (APRI) score has been developed to predict hepatic cirrhosis. Furthermore, the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been used to predict the severity of hepatitis C. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between APRI scores and NLR and PLR in chronic hepatitis C patients. Methods: This correlative cross-sectional observational study used secondary data of complete blood counts such as neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet values, as well as AST values of patients with hepatitis C in the outpatient and inpatient installation of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during 2019. The inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥18 years, male and female, who were diagnosed as hepatitis C patients, patients who had AST examination data, leukocytes, count type, and platelets. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The 123 subjects were dominantly male with an age range of 46–55 years. There was no correlation between the APRI and NLR scores (p=0.229). However, there was a moderate and significant negative correlation between APRI and PLR scores with a correlation coefficient of -0.468 (p=0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant negative correlation between APRI and PLR scores to predict the occurrence of hepatic cirrhosis in patients with Hepatitis C.
Description and Outcomes of an Innovative Concurrent Hospice-Dialysis Program
Authors: Ernecoff Natalie C. , Bursic Alexandra E. , Motter Erica M. , Lagnese Keith , Taylor Robert , Schell Jane O.
Published: July 2022

Significance Statement

Patients with ESKD access hospice care only about half as often as patients in the general Medicare population. A novel Concurrent Hospice and Dialysis Program aims to improve hospice access for patients with ESKD by offering palliative dialysis concurrently with hospice care. This paper describes the structure of the Program and presents a quantitative description of enrollees. Our 3-year experience with the Program demonstrated that patients had a median hospice length of stay longer than that found in previous reports and provides evidence to support future work to test the effectiveness of such clinical programs.

Background

Compared with the general Medicare population, patients with ESKD have worse quality metrics for end-of-life care, including a higher percentage experiencing hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths and a lower percentage referred to hospice. We developed a Concurrent Hospice and Dialysis Program in which patients may receive palliative dialysis alongside hospice services. The Program aims to improve access to quality end-of-life care and, ultimately, improve the experiences of patients, caregivers, and clinicians.

Objectives

We sought to describe (1) the Program and (2) enrollment and utilization characteristics of Program participants.

Methods

We conducted a quantitative description of demographics, patient characteristics, and utilization of Program enrollees.

Results

Of 43 total enrollees, 44% received at least one dialysis treatment, whereas 56% received no dialysis. The median (range) hospice length of stay was 9 (1–76) days for all participants and 13 (4–76) days for those who received at least one dialysis treatment. The average number of dialysis treatments was 3.5 (range 1–9) for hemodialysis and 19.2 (range 3–65) for peritoneal dialysis. Sixty-five percent of enrollees died at home, 23% in inpatient hospice, and 12% in a nursing facility; no patients died in the hospital.

Conclusions

Our 3-year experience with the Program demonstrated that enrollees had a longer median hospice stay than the previously reported 5-day median for patients with ESKD. Most patients received no further dialysis treatments despite the option to continue dialysis. Our experience provides evidence to support future work testing the effectiveness of such clinical programs to improve patient and utilization outcomes.

Virtual Criminality: Examining the Successes and Pitfalls of the Fight against Sexual Abuse of Children on the Internet through a Select American, European and African Nations
Authors: Uthman Hambali Yahya Duro
Published: July 2022

The world has become a global village where activities hosted in one jurisdiction may be accessed by a visitor on the internet site from another jurisdiction from where it is hosted. However, one of the downsides of this technological advancement is its adoption for disseminating information and pictures that are inimical in respect for children, namely sexual abuse of children of which child pornography is a key element. This is an online business where perpetrators make humongous profits at the detriment of the children depicted in the pornographic materials. The key objective of this paper therefore is to interrogate the efforts of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Ghana and Nigeria as well as the international efforts made so far at curbing the rise in such online activities and to find out the success or otherwise of such efforts. The paper adopts the doctrinal methodology to discover the efforts made so far and the factors, if any, militating against the success of the efforts. The study finds that there have been significant interventions through regional conventions and domestic legislation to arrest the scourge but, the impacts of these efforts have been greatly eroded by jurisdictional issues and absence of uniformity in the definition and scope of child sexual abuse. The paper finally recommends the synergy of enforcement mechanisms among nations where the crime is being perpetrated. It also recommends a comprehensive national campaign as well as parental control of their children’s activities on the internet.
Assessment of comparative parameters of leg length discrepancy in children using temporary epiphysiodesis with 8-plates
Authors: Petrova Daria A. , Kenis Vladimir M.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Epiphysiodesis is used to correct the leg length discrepancy in children. The results of the effectiveness in different studies using epiphysiodesis with 8-plates. Forecasting is a fundamental provision of the methodology to apply epiphysiodesis.
AIM: To determine the comparative effectiveness of temporary epiphysiodesis with 8-plates in correcting the difference in size of the lower limbs in children, depending on the age of the patient and the segment of epiphysiodesis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included data from a retrospective analysis of the results of correcting the leg length discrepancy using the method of guided growth in 94 patients. The technique included the use of two 8-plates. The calculation of comparative indicators was used, while the difference in the ratios of lengths of the epiphysiodesed and paired segments before epiphysiodesis and at the time of completion of guided growth (removal of metal structures) was determined as an indicator of the effectiveness of treatment.
RESULTS: The maximum efficiency was observed with epiphysiodesis of the femur in children of the younger age group (a change of 7.59% in the length of the bone), the minimum was observed with epiphysiodesis of the tibia in children of the older age group (a change in length of 2.04%). The decrease in the effectiveness of femoral epiphysiodesis depending on age was linear, while that between the efficiency indicators in the younger and middle groups was 1.85%, and between the middle and older groups was 2.8%. In epiphysiodesis of the tibia, the difference between the efficiency indicators in the younger and middle age groups was 2.42%, and that between the middle and older age group was 0.34%.
CONCLUSIONS: Temporary epiphysiodesis with 8-plates is effective in correcting the LLDs in children. The use of the comparative efficiency indicators obtained in different age groups allows us to plan the intervention more accurately and avoid unnecessary operations.

Authors: Shvedovchenko Igor V. , Koltsov Andrey A. , Matveev Pavel A. , Komarova Alexandra V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Restoration of the form and function of underdeveloped fingers in congenital pathology and consequences of severe trauma remains an unsolved problem, especially in young children during growth.
AIM: To evaluate the feasibility of surgical treatment in children with congenital and acquired hand pathology using transplantation of the nonvascularized phalanges of the toes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the immediate surgical treatment results of 41 children at the age of 10 months to 11 years with congenital malformations and posttraumatic hand deformities after undergoing nonvascularized toe-phalange transplantation. The main group of interventions was performed in children with ectrodactyly, adactyly, and hypoplasia of the hand. Predominantly, the proximal phalanges of the I, II, and III fingers were restored. The proximal and middle phalanges of the 2nd and 4th toes were mainly used as transplants.
RESULTS: We assessed indications and contraindications for nonvascularized toe-phalange transplantation in the treatment of patients with congenital and acquired pathology of the hand. The technologies for performing reconstructive operations have been developed, and the optimal sequence of actions has been determined. The next publication will be devoted to the analysis of the data obtained.
CONCLUSIONS: Nonvascularized toe-phalange transplantation in the treatment of patients with congenital and acquired pathology of the hand is a method that should be studied from the point of view of indications, technology of execution, as well as long-term results. The undoubted advantage of the discussed technology is the execution available for the surgeon of standard training, as well as the absence of the need for expensive material and technical support, including an operating microscope, specialized instrumentation and suture materials.
Two-stage tendoplasty of the flexor digitorum profundus in a small child
Authors: Zolotov Aleksandr S. , Mbeki Joshua A.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Injuries to the flexor tendons of the fingers are uncommon in young children, and chronic injury is an extremely rare injury. Many issues of damage diagnosis, surgical intervention and rehabilitation techniques remain unresolved. In this regard, the treatment of chronic damage to the flexor tendons of the fingers in young children has practical and theoretical significances.
CLINICAL CASE: A 16-month old underwent a two-stage treatment of chronic damage to the flexor tendons of the small finger. At the first stage, scars were removed from the fibro-synovial canal, and a silicone rod was inserted into the canal. At the second stage, the silicone spacer was replaced by a tendon autograft. The surgical treatment and postoperative management of the patient was described in detail. The full range (270 degrees) of active and passive motion was restored five months after the second stage of tendoplasty. Two years after the operation, good hand function.
DISCUSSION: The analyzed publications mainly present the results of treatment of patients older than 1 year and 4 months. Only in the study by S.L. Piper et al. (2019) the youngest patient at the time of injury was 7 months old, at the time of first stage of tendoplasty 1 year and 3 months. The final volume of active motion was 160 degrees. In our case, the functional result was higher. Considering the undoubted rarity of damage uncharacteristic for this age, we intend to continue monitoring the patient.
CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive long-term treatment of a serious injury to the hand, considering the anatomical and physiological characteristics of a small child, made it possible to obtain a good functional result.
Surgical treatment of a patient with erythromelalgia (Mitchell’s syndrome) using invasive spinal cord stimulation: A Clinical case
Authors: Toriya Vachtang G. , Vissarionov Sergei V. , Savina Margarita V. , Baindurashvili Alexey G.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Erythromelalgia is a rare hereditary disorder manifesting the basic triad of symptoms: erythro redness, melos limb, and algos pain. It was first described by the American neurologist, S. Weir Mitchell in 1878. Clinical manifestations of the disease worsen the physical and psychological condition of the patient leading to reduced quality of life, increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, etiotropic therapy for erythromelalgia that demonstrates high efficacy in individuals with this pathology, has not been developed. Moreover, there is no consensus on treatment strategies for this category of patients, emphasized by the absence of clinical guidelines for the treatment of erythromelalgia. Treatment of patients with erythromelalgia is currently based on sequential pharmacotherapy in order to select the most effective therapy.
CLINICAL CASE: We presented the result of surgical treatment of erythromelalgia in a 15-year-old adolescent using invasive spinal cord stimulation.
DISCUSSION: Erythromelalgia remains an understudied condition with the lack of sufficient understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis. For the first time in Russia, a technique of invasive spinal cord stimulation was used in a pediatric patient with erythromelalgia, which resulted in a significant reduction of neuropathic pain, restoration of vasomotor regulation in the form of reduced edema and hyperemia.
CONCLUSIONS: In a patient with prolonged and pronounced refractory neuropathic pain caused by erythromelalgia, spinal cord stimulation was the only effective treatment technique alternative to symptomatic and drug therapy. Spinal cord stimulation should be considered as a method of treating neuropathic pain associated with pharmacoresistant forms of erythromelalgia.
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on economic performance of European Countries
Authors: Milanović Marina , Stamenković Milan
Published: July 2022

Starting from the fact that the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the implementation of social distancing strategies have dramatically affected all aspects of human lives at global, national, and micro levels, this paper focuses on examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic performance of selected European countries. To perceive and understand this impact, the authors applied a complex research methodology based on the combined application of suitable univariate and multivariate methods of statistical analysis. The classification of 40 European countries into different groups, in terms of the selected set of COVID-19 indicators in 2020, was performed through hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis, while statistical evaluation of the quality of the obtained solution of a non-hierarchical procedure, based on the k-means method, was implemented. The classification consists of four clusters of countries identified as the “optimal” clustering solution. The authors conducted the analysis and comparison of profiles of the formed clusters of countries in terms of their average GDP growth rates in 2020 using the statistical methods of descriptive analysis and hypothesis testing. This study reveals that a cluster of countries with a relatively “lower” severity of the COVID-19 health consequences recorded a higher average GDP growth rate compared to groups of countries that suffered more serious consequences and vice versa. The obtained results, which indicate the connection between the magnitude of the negative health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, can serve as additional support to policymakers in making decisions aimed at mitigating pandemic impacts and crisis management.

Published: July 2022

In the framework of Ajzen’s theory of planned behaviour (TPB), the study is conducted to evaluate the association between The Big Five personality traits and the three types of tourists’ co-production behaviour: co-production behaviour before the trip, co-production behaviour during the trip, and co-production behaviour after the trip. The mediating type of co-production attitude is also clarified in this TPB model. The online and in-person survey methodologies have been used from January to May 2021. The study’s survey subjects are Vietnamese tourists who live and work in Vietnam and have travelled within the last two years. The research results reveal that all three personalities: Extraversion, Openness, and Agreeableness, positively affect the three categories of co-production behaviours, whereas Consciousness and Neuroticism only influence production behaviour during the trip. Two types of mediation: complementary and indirect- only effect of co-production attitude, is clarified. This study contributes to broader TPB theory by analyzing Big Five personality traits in tourist co-production behaviour. Our findings assist tourism businesses in better understanding how visitors’ personalities impact their co-production and assist them in building effective co-production methods. Tourism practitioners should develop different approaches for groups of customers with distinguished characteristics in each stage of their co-production processes.

Impact of lemon grass (cymbopogon citratus) tea on the antioxidant and iron profile of non- Pregnant non- Lactating young women
Authors: Nambiar Vanisha , Matela Hema
Published: July 2022

Cymbopogon citrates (Lemon Grass) is a traditional food of Asia and is used as folk medicine. Lemongrass has high antioxidant value; however, there is a dearth of human trials showing impact of Lemon Grass on health.

The present study was conducted to assess the impact of Lemon Grass supplementation on antioxidant and Iron profile of Non-Pregnant and Non Lactating Healthy Adult Women.

The 3.5g oven dried lemongrass tea (infused) was supplemented (twice daily) to non-pregnant non- lactating healthy adult women (19-25 years) for a period of 60 days.

: it was found that there was significant increase in antioxidant values as assessed by FRAP (17.1±4.3 to 25.5±6.6, p ≤ 0.000). However, there was a 1.8% reduction in Hb (12.2±1.4 to 11.9±1.4g/dl (p≤ 0.05) levels with an insignificant decrease of Ferritin (6.7%), Erythrocyte (0.6%) Hematocrit (2.6%), MCH (0.5%) and MCHC (0.3%) values. Moreover, there was a decrease in normocytic normochromic subjects from 86.6 to 80.0 percent.

Lemon Grasstea contributes to enhanced antioxidant levels in adult women, however, its effects on the CBC levels need to be corroborated.

The aim of this study was to investigate pain, posture, levels of physical activity, and sleep quality in undergraduate and postgraduate students along with determine how educational differences affect these parameters.

A cross-sectional study.

This study conducted with the participation of 60 undergraduate, 58 graduate students. The Short-Form McGill pain questionnaire was used to assess pain, the New York Posture assessment for posture assessment, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to determine physical activity levels, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale to determine sleep quality.

A total of 118 participants (mean age =24.07 years, 72.9% women) were included in the study. Posture and the low IPAQ score had significant differences between undergraduate and graduates (p<0.05), whereas pain, IPAQ total score, and sleep quality were similar (p>0.05).

When the literature is briefly mentioned, there are general studies about university students, but it was not clear how the undergraduate and postgraduate status of the students affected the health related factors. Therefore, based on the results of this study, necessary evaluations and improvements should be made regarding the risk factors faced by the students, taking into account the pain, posture, physical activity levels, and sleep quality of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
