Authors: Harriet Gibeah , Korula Sophy , Rebekah Grace , Kapoor Nitin , Cherian Kripa Elizabeth , Jose Arun , Mathai Sarah , Paul Thomas V.
Published: June 2023

Background:

The data on the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) in Indian adolescents are limited.

Objectives:

To assess BMD at lumbar spine (LS, L1-L4) and femoral neck (FN) in South Indian post-menarchal girls and correlate it with dietary calcium intake (mg/day), physical activity score and post-menarchal years. The study also assessed serum BTMs and their correlation with chronological age in the study population.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included apparently healthy post-menarchal adolescent girls aged 12–16 years randomly selected from the community. Participants with vitamin D deficiency were excluded. The data on calcium intake and physical activity were obtained using validated questionnaires. All participants were evaluated with serum calcium, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP) and Beta-CrossLaps (CTx) and BMD at LS and FN using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Statistical Analysis:

EpiData version 3.1 was used for the data entry. The data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was calculated, and two-tailed Kendall’s tau-b test was used for assessing correlation of all nonparametric measures.

Results:

A total of 103 participants were screened, and data from 77 were analysed. There was a significant positive correlation of BMD at LS with chronological age (r: +0.235, P = 0.036), but not at FN. Positive correlation of BMD with increase in post-menarchal years was also noted at LS (r: +0.276, P = 0.015). There was no significant association of BMD with calcium intake and physical activity scores at both sites. There was a significant negative correlation of serum BTMs with age CTx (r: -0.596, P = 0.0001) and P1NP (r: -0.505, P = 0.0001).

Conclusion:

This study provides insight into the reference BMD range at LS spine and FN in South Indian rural post-menarchal adolescent girls. BMD positively correlated, whereas BTMs negatively correlated with age. The study also provides the first Indian reference range for serum BTMs in this age group.

Authors: Dutta Deep , Nagendra Lakshmi , Raizada Nishant , Bhattacharya Saptarshi , Sharma Meha
Published: June 2023

Meta-analysis studying the role of verapamil in improving C-peptide in people with recent-onset type-1 diabetes (T1DM) has not been conducted to date. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge gap. Electronic databases were systematically reviewed for RCTs having individuals with T1DM receiving verapamil in the treatment arm and placebo in the control arm over the standard of care. The primary outcome was to evaluate changes in the C-peptide area under the curve (AUC) at a one-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes were to assess alterations in C-peptide AUC, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure, heart rate, and side effects at different time intervals over a one-year follow-up. From the initially screened 27 articles, data from two RCTs (112 patients) satisfied the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Compared to placebo, C-peptide AUC in individuals receiving verapamil was not different at three months [MD 0.17 nmol/L (95%CI: -0.05-0.38); P = 0.13; I2 = 86%] but significantly higher at 1-year [MD 0.27 nmol/L (95%CI: 0.19–0.35); P < 0.01; I2 = 12%]. The verapamil arm showed similar changes in HbA1C at three months [MD 0.23% (95%CI: -0.43–0.90); P = 0.49; I2 = 88%] and 1-year [MD 0.18% (95% CI: -0.74 – 1.10); P = 0.70; I2 = 89%] compared to placebo. Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events [Risk ratio (RR) 1.90 (95%CI: 0.52–6.91); P = 0.33; I2 = 63%], serious adverse events [RR 1.40 (95%CI: 0.50–3.93); P = 0.53], constipation [RR4.11 (95%CI: 0.93–18.13); P = 0.06; I2 = 0%], headache [RR0.48 (95%CI: 0.16–1.43); P = 0.19; I2 = 0%], severe hypoglycemia [RR 0.87 (95%CI: 0.06 – 13.51); P = 0.92] were comparable across groups. Verapamil was well tolerated, and its use over one year was associated with significant improvements in C-peptide AUC though the HbA1c remained unchanged.

Authors: Kiran Sham , Nagarajappa Vani H. , Sathyanarayana Santhosh O. , Hegde Avni , Raghupathy Palany
Published: June 2023

Background:

Regular self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) remains the mainstay method for diabetes monitoring. The major limitation of SMBG is poor compliance and it only provides a snapshot of glucose values at that point of time. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are non-invasive devices which measure subcutaneous interstitial glucose for every five minutes and provide glucose variability throughout the day.

Aim and Objective:

To assess the effectiveness of intermittent continuous blood glucose monitoring in comparison with SMBG on the percentage reduction in HbA1c level in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods:

Children diagnosed with type 1 DM of age group 3–18 years were enlisted into the study. Participants were randomised to the study arm (CGMs+SMBG) or the control arm (SMBG alone). Subjects in the study group were given CGM along with regular SMBG for 14 days. The control group was asked to perform SMBG. HbA1c levels were measured in both groups after three months of intervention.

Results:

There were 62 children in each group. After three months, in the intervention group HbA1c level dropped from 11.23% ± 1.53% (Mean ± SD) to 10.14% ± 1.99%, in control group HbA1c level dropped from 11.62% ± 1.62% to 11.32% ± 1.57%. The fall in HbA1c level in intervention group is significant (p value –0.01).

Conclusion:

In a resource-limited setting, intermittent use of CGMs atleast once every two to three months will help in understanding the factors influencing glucose variation throughout the day and, with appropriate therapeutic modifications, will aid in achieving optimal glycaemic control.

Authors: Gunavathy Nagarajan , Asirvatham Arthur , Chitra Ayyappan , Jayalakshmi Mariakuttikan
Published: June 2023

Background:

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease, involving strong genetic components with familial predisposition. Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a non-classical HLA-class I molecule having several immunomodulatory functions. Polymorphisms in HLA-G are associated with several autoimmune diseases including T1D. This study aims to evaluate the association of HLA-G 14bp Ins/Del and +3142 C/G polymorphisms with T1D among the South Indian population.

Methods:

The study was performed in a cohort of 123 T1D patients along with their 51 siblings and 126 parents. The association and linkage of HLA-G 14bp Ins/Del and +3142 C/G polymorphisms with T1D were analysed, and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was performed.

Results:

Significantly increased frequencies of HLA-G 14bp Del/Del genotype (OR = 2.16, pc = 0.0302) and Del allele (OR = 1.71, pc = 0.0398) were observed in female patients compared to parents. Higher frequencies of DelDel/GG combined genotype (OR = 4.45, pc = 0.0049) and Del/G haplotype (OR = 2.91, pc = 0.0277) were observed in female patients compared to parents. TDT also revealed over-transmission of Del/G haplotype (25T vs 7UT; P = 0.0015) and a strong linkage disequilibrium between the studied polymorphisms.

Conclusion:

This familial study shows the association of HLA-G 3′UTR 14bp Ins/Del polymorphism with the risk of T1D among the South Indian population, especially in females.

Published: June 2023

Objective:

To determine the efficacy of antioxidant therapy in the outcome of critical COVID-19-infected patients.

Methods:

At the Patel Hospital, a retrospective cohort analysis was carried out between June 2020 and October 2021. The study included a record of 200 individuals with severe or critical stage COVID-19 who were older than 18 and of either gender. Based on the antioxidant therapy, study participants were placed evenly into two groups. Antioxidant therapy was provided to one group (the exposed group), whereas the other group received simply normal COVID-19 medication (the unexposed group). Outcomes from both groups were evaluated and compared.

Results:

Patients on antioxidant therapy had lesser mortality and shorter hospital stay than patients on coventional management, but the difference in proportions of mortality and length of hospital stay was statistically insignificant between groups (p > 0.05). Patients on antioxidant therapy had a significantly higher proportion of moderate to severe ARDS and septic shock than unexposed patients. A significantly higher number of patients in the unexposed group had AKI as compared to the exposed group (p = 0.048).

Conclusions:

Antioxidant therapy seems to have a non-significant positive effect on mortality, hospital stay, and AKI, while it showed a negative effect on the severity of ARDS and septic shock.

Authors: Eze II , Ogbu M , Ossai EN , Ekenna A , Okoronkwo I , Onwujekwe O
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Immunization data quality is poor, particularly in developing countries. This study evaluated the effect of a low-dose high-frequency (LDHF) capacity-building training approach in improving immunization data quality in Ebonyi State, Nigeria.

Methods:

A randomized controlled study was conducted in 145 health facilities selected through cluster sampling in Ebonyi State. The intervention comprised low but frequent training doses, supportive supervision, and peer mentoring delivered onsite by immunization officers to facility health workers. Immunization data quality was compared before and 6 months after the intervention using an interviewer-administered validated data quality self-assessment questionnaire. A percentage score ≥ 80% was classified as good quality. Variables were compared with the Student’s t and Chi-square significant tests.

Findings:

The total mean score of immunization data quality was higher in the intervention group, 66.8 ± 11.0, than in the control group, 55.5 ± 16.6 (P = 0.001). A higher proportion of facilities in the intervention (54.2%) than the control group (24.7%) had overall good quality data (P = 0.001). Similarly, a higher proportion of the intervention than the control group had good quality in the immunization monitoring system elements—recording, reporting, archiving, demographic information, core output, and use of evidence for action (P < 0.05). Health facilities with accurate data were higher in the intervention group, 95.8%, than in the control group, 71.1% (P = 0.001). A higher proportion in the intervention (93.7%) compared to the control group (68.0%) had complete data (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

The study found low-quality immunization data, which improved more in the intervention group compared to the control group. This intervention approach should be adopted and scaled up.

Artificial intelligence today has become a valuable tool for decision-making, where universities have to adapt and optimize their processes, improving the quality of their services. In this context, the economic income from collections is vital for sustainability. There are several problems that can contribute to student delinquency, such as economic, financial, academic, family, and personal. For this reason, the study aimed to develop a classification model to predict the payment behavior of enrolled students. The methodology is a proactive, technological study of incremental innovation with a synchronous temporal scope. The study population consisted of 8,495 undergraduate students enrolled in the 2022 - II academic semester, containing information on academic performance, financial situation, and personal factors. The result is a classification model using the H2O.ai platform, discretization algorithms, data balancing, and the R language. Data science algorithms obtained the base from the institution's computer system. The data sets for training and testing correspond to 70% and 30%, obtaining the GBM Grid model whose performance metrics are AUC of 0.905, AUCPR of 0.926, and logLoss equivalent to 0.311; that is, the model efficiently complies with the classification of student debtors to provide them with early intervention service and help them complete their studies.

Published: June 2023

Many distinct components make up the electrical system. One of these is the transmission system, in which electricity is delivered to consumers along power lines from substations. These approaches have the potential to encounter numerous kinds of errors, or "issues," as well. When the insulation of a power system eventually fails, a fault is simply defined as a series of unintended but unavoidable events that might briefly disrupt the steady state of the system. To properly and precisely mark and localize the occurrence of a fault, an intelligent fault detecting and localization system was deployed. This guarantees a quicker response time from the technical team to address these issues, protecting transformers from harm and catastrophes. The system makes use of an audio signal, an IOT module, an LCD, a current transformer, a voltage transformer, an Arduino uno controller, and an RS-232 connector. The system uses an algorithm based on impedance to automatically detect defects, analyze and classify them, and then determine their distance from the control room. The control room receives the error information at the end. In summary, it can be said that because the system automatically and precisely delivers information on the specific position of the fault, the amount of time needed to locate the fault is greatly decreased. Using this project, we can monitor temperature, voltage, and current on an LCD screen and an IOT module, as well as single-phase transmission line issues.

specifically for injecting liquids quickly. There are numerous types. This study looks into a solar-powered mechanical dart sprinkler. With this kind of sprayer, you can rapidly and easily cover huge areas, including lawns. In the agricultural nation of India, 70% of all food is grown nearby. However, as the population increases, property rights are divided between families, leaving the typical Indian farmer with only two hectares of land. Due to their extreme financial hardship, farmers still rely on traditional farming methods because they cannot purchase expensive equipment. In this project, a mobile device is used to operate a wheeled insecticide sprayer. With this kind of sprayer, you can rapidly and easily cover huge areas, including lawns. Sprayers are the most economical option for areas that need to be sprayed. With a smartphone app, you can control every feature wirelessly. Sprayers are mechanical devices that are specifically designed to spray liquids easily. They come in several different varieties. In this project, we'll take a look at solar-operated mechanical boom sprayers. A sprayer of this type is a great way to cover large areas such as lawns, quickly and easily. India is an agriculture-based country in which, 70% of people depend on the outcome of farming. But if we observe that with the increase in population, the farm gets distributed among the family and because of this, farmers in India held an average of only two-acre farms.
Seen and Not Heard: Why Children’s Voices Matter, by Jana Mohr Lone (2021). Rowman & Littlefield.
Authors: Sprod Tim
Published: June 2023

Evoking the old saying that ‘children should be seen and not heard’, Jana Mohr Lone’s new book presents a powerful case for not merely hearing—but more, for listening to - children. Lone is the Executive Director of PLATO—the Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization affiliated with the University of Washington, Seattle (one of the leading forces for philosophy in schools in the USA)—and has been involved in bringing philosophical discussion into schools for over 25 years. She brings all this experience to bear in this book.Before taking a good look at the book, I note that the publisher, Rowman & Littlefield, seems to have produced quite a few books in the philosophy in schools field recently, including Lone’s previous book The Philosophical Child, and a series edited by Tom Wartenberg. That a major publisher is interested in producing such books is a welcome sign indeed.

Schooling is defined as the fact of schooling a child, that is to say, putting him on the school bench. It is actually compulsory for all children of school age. Due to its political stability, the Republic of Congo is a country that has received many refugees from Central African countries over the past twenty years. Since the return of peace to the Congo in 1998, after a period of turmoil and political instability, the Republic of the Congo has continued to attract many refugees from all directions. The practical application of the education of refugee children who have suffered war trauma is essential. National and international organizations are working in this sector to enable these children to have access to school education in Congo. They provide refugee children with various school supplies. Well educated, these refugee children help fight against illiteracy. Once schooled and trained, these children will be able to support themselves in the host country. On the other hand, the failure of their education would make them marginalized, embittered, bandits.

Açık-yeşil alanlar kentler ve kentte yaşayanlar için birçok açıdan faydası bulunmakta ve sürdürülebilirliğin ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak bilinmektedir. Çevresel, sosyal, ekonomik ve insan sağlığı açısından birçok faydası olan açık-yeşil alanların önemi Antik çağlardan günümüze kadar sürekli olarak vurgulanan önemli konular arasındadır. Kentsel açık-yeşil alanlar herkes tarafından kullanılabilen, farklı kesimden insanların bir araya gelerek birlikte vakit geçirebildikleri kamusal alanlardan birisidir. Bu alanlar aynı zamanda sahip oldukları farklı işlev ve özellikleri sayesinde insan-doğa etkileşimini de güçlendirmektedir. Tüm bu katkıların kentsel mekânlara yansıtılması için sistematik bir yaklaşımın olması gerekmektedir. Bu konuda hem Dünya’da hem de Türkiye’de birçok hedef ve standart geliştirilmiştir. Türkiye’de yeşil alan standartları için, İmar Kanunu kapsamında oluşturulan Mekânsal Planlar Yapım Yönetmeliği’nde belirtilen 10 m²/kişi ölçütü dikkate alınmaktadır. Fakat nüfus artışı sonucunda yeşil alan ihtiyacı da artmakta ve ikisi arasında olması gereken paralel ilişkinin sağlanması mümkün olmamaktadır. Çalışmada, Ankara Yenimahalle ilçesi mahallelerinde yeşil alan dağılımları, nüfus verileri ile değerlendirilerek, mekânsal eşitsizlik yeşil alan miktarı ve nüfus kapsamında vurgulamak amaçlanmaktadır. İlçede bulunan yeşil alanların dağılımları ve mahalle nüfusları ile karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Kişi başına düşen yeşil alan miktarlarının hesaplandığı çalışmada, genel olarak ilçede yeşil alanların yetersiz olduğu soncuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: KOÇAK Yılmaz , SEÇKİN Hamdullah
Published: June 2023

Green synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) is an economical, environmentally friendly and non-toxic approach that has been the subject of research in health and industry. Therefore, in this study, Cu NPs were synthesized using Pimpinella anisum (P.anisum) seed extract and their pharmacological activities were evaluated. Characterization of Cu NPs was performed by UV-vis, FT-IR and SEM-EDX analyses. Copper metal was reduced by reacting with the seed extract and reached the maximum peak at 385 nm in the UV-vis spectra, confirming the surface plasmon resonance. FT-IR spectroscopy showed the participation of phytochemical components in P. anisum in the synthesis. SEM analysis determined that the size of the biosynthesized nanoparticles is 10-20 nm in diameter and has a spherical structure. Strong signals of copper metal were confirmed by EDX analysis. The therapeutic effect of Cu NPs was evaluated by antioxidant and antibacterial assays. The DPPH radical scavenging activity IC50 inhibition values of Cu NPs were better than the seed extract and exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Antibacterial activity was performed by the disk diffusion method and Cu NPs were more effective against gram-positive bacteria. It had the highest zone diameter (18.0±2.8 mm), especially on Bacillus subtilis bacteria. These results showed that Cu NPs may have a selective effect against drug-resistant bacteria as an alternative agent to pharmaceutical applications. This study showed that P. anisum seed extract-mediated bioconjugation of Cu NPs can be done simply, quickly and cost-effectively. As a result, Cu NPs should be supported by more detailed in vivo studies to create antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

Abstract:

The head of the madrassa in carrying out the main duties and functions of academic supervision has optimal authority in improving teacher performance. This study aims to analyze the use of the academic supervisory authority of the madrassa principals in improving the performance of Madrassa Aliyah (MA) teacher in West Aceh District. This study uses a descriptive analytical approach in revealing the problem of using the authorities, obligations and powers of the madrassa principals in improving teacher performance. Methods of data collection were carried out through observation, interviews and study of program documents and academic supervision activities. Data processing techniques were conducted by means of data verification, data presentation, data reduction, and drawing conclusions from research results. The data analysis technique is by reflecting, interpreting and compiling an action plan on the research results. The results showed that the use of the academic supervision authority of the madrassa principals was still categorized as weak in improving teacher performance. Madrasah principals still do not take it seriously in using their authority in planning academic supervision programs. The heads of the madrassas in carrying out the obligations of implementing the academic supervision program are still not in accordance with the applicable technical instructions. The power of the heads of madrassas in carrying out innovations in academic supervision programs has not been utilized properly to improve teacher performance. These findings can be recommended to the head of the Regency/City Ministry of Religious Affairs Office and madrasa supervisors to carry out programmatic guidance and training for madrasa principals on the implementation of academic supervision in Madrassa.

Sebagian besar sampah (hampir 75%) merupakan jenis yang tidak dapat terurai secara alami dalam waktu singkat (anorganik). Pada saat yang sama, sampah yang mudah terurai secara alami (organik) digunakan oleh banyak orang untuk briket, pupuk alami dan gas alami. Sebaliknya, sampah plastik dan yang susah terurai masih didaur ulang secara terbatas. Padahal, pengolahan sampah jenis itu sangat sulit dan membutuhkan lahan luas sebagai penampungan (TPA). Hal ini menjadi salah satu masalah kehidupan manusia. Selain itu, sampah juga memiliki kegunaan yang dapat menguntungkan dan memiliki nilai ekonomi ketika anggapan masyarakat tentang sampah yang semula memandangnya tidak berguna, berubah ketika diubah dirangkai dengan estetik serta memiliki kegunaan dan nilai ekonomi. Perusahaan ini memiliki satu tujuan, yaitu meningkatkan kewirausahaan di masyarakat dengan mendayagunakan sampah yang tidak mudah terurai.
