Effective Public Service Delivery: Governance to “E-Governance in India”
Authors: Assadi Muzaffar
Published: June 2022

The issues of governance which received much focus during the decade of 1990s, has further expanded with the inclusion of “e-governance”- the latter has enhanced service delivery, enlarged participation and made the democracy more inclusive. India is not an exception to e- governance initiatives which is apparent in the Declaration of year 2001 as “Year of E-Governance”, earmarking two to three percent of plan budget towards e-governance etc. Crisis of governability, catching up with developed world and current trend towards globalization has made India to implement e-governance.

There is no uniformity in the application of e-governance in different states or provinces in India. Some states still are in the “preliminary stage” others in “catching up” stage. Only ten states have made serious efforts. Its success rates are not uniform- it varies between partial success to complete failure, including the fact that there are criticisms leveled against it for the reasons that it is “urban biased”, “one way process” and that it would reduce the importance of bureaucracy, politicians. Despite the weakness one should appreciate the fact that it has reduced the cultural and geographical barriers, shifted the paradigm of “space” and helping in completing the project of incomplete modernity. However what is needed to strengthen e-governance is not only by clubbing Cafeteria and Phase model but also the success stories from other countries.

Authors: Wang Tiankai , Rao Changlin
Published: June 2022

This study reviews the development of performance measurement in the United States and China, and compares the differences in related legislation between the two countries. U.S. performance measurement legislation is more sophisticated and advanced than that in China. China's economic development has contributed to the lag in performance measurement legislation and philosophy. It is meaningful for China to learn from the U.S. experience to improve its performance measurement. This study proposes some suggestions to improve Chinese performance measurement legislation.
Human Resources Management for Effective Public Administration
Authors: Covell Caroline
Published: June 2022

Managing human resources in public administration is difficult and complex because it is an academic field, a field of scientific management and application, and a field of managerial professionalism, which includes legal and political processes. Effective management of human resources in public administration requires the incorporation of human resources development and continuous and strategic planning for “the right person for the right job.” The contemporary public administration with personnel that possess “employable skills” belittles the government and reduces its capacity. This system has resulted in a human resource management style that is based on feelings. This paper argues that traditional human management is more effective and it determines the success and the strength of the government. The crisis faced by public administration today is the result of the reinventing the government move-ment–a system whose human resources management is based on “employable skills,” multitasking, and a fast-paced environment. This system diminishes the importance of knowledge, science, and professionalism. It causes a leadership crisis and poor capacity governance. This paper describes the theoretical foundation of human resources management in the government. This paper also discusses a comparative analysis between line-department and matrix approach as an alternative solution to improve the capacity of public employees so that they can perform effectively and maximize their potential.

Authors: Utami Noor Amalia , Arimi Sailal
Published: June 2022

Spatial system is fundamental in any language. This makes each language has spatial system which in some extent distinctive one another. Study of spatial system commonly found within cognitive linguistics area which takes preposition as object of study as the present research does. Banjarese, as one of local languages in Indonesia, indicates a unique spatial system by having particular spatial particles. Data collection is based on the questionnaire where the respondents are 153 native Banjareses. The result shows that Banjarese have eight spatial prepositions which classified into three categories based on the vector direction. Preposition di, where it is used excessively, is a placement preposition where there is no movement in the configuration. On the other hand, source and goal directive preposition carry vector from and toward the LM respectively. Source-directive prepositions are di, dari, matan, and pada. Meanwhile, goal-directive prepositions are ka, taka, baka, and ampah. Particular spatial expression such as hulu (upstream), hilir (downstream), laut (sea), and darat(land) are found generated from river life. All these four spatial particles are based on river stream direction. Hulu and hilir take horizontal relation toward river while laut and darat are perpendicular to river line that extends further or nearby toward river.

Published: June 2022

Cimanuk River is the second longest river in West Java, flowing from Garut to Indramayu. One of the sub-watersheds of the Cimanuk River is the Cipeles River in Sumedang and Majalengka. Genggehek (Mystacoleucus marginatus) is a type of native fish (indigenous) found in these two rivers. The purpose of the study was to determine growth performance including size distribution, growth pattern and condition factors. The research was conducted by conducting a survey in the dry season in September 2020. The method used was the fisheries biology method. Measurement and data analysis were conducted at the Aquatic Resources Laboratory of Padjadjaran University. The number of fish caught was 231 with a length range of 45 mm - 116 mm and a weight range of 1,1 g – 37,4 g. The growth performance of fish living in Cimanuk River was different from that living in Cipeles River. In Cimanuk River had positive allometric with regression equation W = 4.10-6 L3.2171 and W = 6.10-6 L3.1449. Weight growth was faster than length, condition factor was between 1,27 and 1,33. The growth performance of fish growing in the Cipeles River had a negative allometric growth pattern. The length growth was faster than the weight with the regression equation W = 7.10-4 L2.1182 and W = 7.10-5 L 2.7434, R2 = 0.36 and 0.92, condition factor K = 1.01 and 1.35.
A Model of Fish Consumption Among Indonesian Youth with the Moderation on Their Perception of Fish Quality Assurance
Authors: Putriantini Ika Nur , Dityanawarman Aldino , Inaiyah Inaiyah , Rahman Hafit
Published: June 2022

This study provides a relevant examination of fish consumption among Indonesian youth; it contributes to their perception of fish quality assurance. A cross-sectional sample of Indonesian youth scholars between 17 and 26 years old (n = 1.163) responded to an online questionnaire validly from February to March 2021. Structural equation modelling was used to estimate the direction and strength of relationships between variables. The results demonstrate that fish availability, health involvement, fish consumption in childhood, sensory beliefs, and price correlated significantly with fish consumption among Indonesian youth, but that relationship was mediated by attitude to consume fish. Social pressure also has a significant correlation to fish consumption among Indonesian youth. Meanwhile, we found that Indonesian youth's perception of fish quality assurance negatively moderates the relationship between fish and fish consumption. This perception of fish quality assurance is likely not to affect the real-world relationship between the desire to consume fish and fish consumption. Understanding the role different variables play in their fish consumption habits may provide helpful insights for the government to develop strategies for increasing the final goal, which is the intake of fish among young consumers.

Kebijakan bantuan sosial lanjut usia masih terkendala rendahnya cakupan penerima bantuan dan terhambatnya akses bantuan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui inklusivitas bantuan sosial lansia dengan menggunakan pendekatan systematic review. Inklusivitas dimaknai sejauhmana kebijakan mampu menjangkau masyarakat, dampak yang ditimbulkan dan integrasi dengan program pengentasan kemiskinan. Empat negara dikaji dalam tulisan ini yaitu Afrika Selatan, Brazil, China dan Indonesia karena kesamaan kebijakan bantuan sosial lansia dan termasuk dalam kelompok negara berpendapatan menegah atas. Data bersumber dari 25 literatur yang membahas inklusivitas bantuan sosial lansia, yang dipilih dari Google Scholar sebanyak 14 literatur dan 11 literatur lainnya berasal dari Scopus. Kata kunci yang digunakan dalam memilih literatur adalah “inclusive”, “social assistance”, dan “old-age”. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bantuan sosial lansia pada empat negara belum sepenuhnya inklusif. Pemaknaan lansia harus lebih diperluas dan bantuan disesuaikan dengan karakteristik lansia. Saran untuk pemerintah adalah mengelola kebijakan yang tepat; sedangkan untuk penelitian selanjutnya penting dilakukan studi tentang aspek-aspek jaminan sosial yang lain.

Social assistance policies for elderly is still constrained by low coverage of beneficiaries and hampered access to assistance. This paper aims to determine inclusiveness of social assistance for elderly using a systematic review. Inclusivity in this case means how far policies reach out community, policies’s impact, and integration with poverty alleviation programs. The countries studied are South Africa, Brazil, China and Indonesia because of the policies’s similiarities and included in upper middle income countries. The data used are 25 pieces of literatures that discuss the inclusiveness, selected from Google Scholar (14 pieces of literatures) and Scopus (11 pieces of literatures). The keywords used were “inclusive”, “social assistance”, and “old-age”. Research findings show that social assistance for elderly in four countries is not yet fully inclusive. Elderly’s definition must be expanded and assistance adapted to elderly’s characteristics. Governments have to manage policies and next researchers should conduct studies on other aspects of social security.

Makna Kesejahteraan Subjektif bagi Perempuan Penyandang Disabilitas pada Masa Pandemi COVID-19
Authors: Hidayah Lutfia Nur , Nurhadi
Published: June 2022

Perbedaan makna kesejahteraan dalam konsep welfare dan well-being telah menciptakan kesenjangan dalam produk kebijakan sosial yang seringkali didominasi oleh aspek objektif-material. Sebagai salah satu upaya dalam memahami konsep kesejahteraan secara utuh, tulisan ini berfokus pada makna kesejahteraan subjektif bagi salah satu kelompok dengan kerentanan ganda, yaitu perempuan penyandang disabilitas dengan kontekstualisasi masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan sembilan orang perempuan penyandang disabilitas di KSM Harapan Mulia. Dengan menggunakan konsep kesejahteraan subjektif dan perspektif interseksionalitas sebagai kerangka teoritis, penelitian ini menunjukkan beberapa hasil penting. Pertama, pemaknaan perempuan penyandang disabilitas atas kesejahteraan subjektif berkaitan erat dengan konsekuensinya sebagai perempuan serta penyandang status disabilitas. Kedua, temuan tersebut mendasari temuan lain bahwa kesejahteraan subjektif tidak secara ‘murni’ terbatas pada penilaian internal, melainkan disertai dengan pengaruh-pengaruh yang berasal dari konteks objektif di luar individu yang saling bersilangan.

Kata kunci: kesejahteraan subjektif, perempuan disabilitas, kerentanan ganda, pandemi COVID-19

The distinctive aspect in the meaning of welfare and well-being in its perception has created gaps in social policy products which are often dominated by objective-material aspects. In an attempt to comprehend the concept of welfare and well-being as a whole, this study focuses on the meaning of subjective well-being for one of the groups with multiple vulnerabilities, namely women with disabilities contextualization during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is conducted through in-depth interviews with nine women with disabilities at KSM HarapanMulia. By applying the concept of subjective well-being and the perspective of intersectionality as a theoretical framework, this study resulted in several main points. First, the perspective of women with disabilities on subjective well-being are closely related to the consequences as women and persons with disability. Second, this result underlies another result that subjective well- being is not 'purely' limited to internal judgments but is accompanied by intersecting influences originating from objective contexts outside the individual.

Pengaruh Cekaman Air pada Masa Penanaman terhadap Anatomi dan Fungsi Xilem serta Waktu Pajang Bunga Potong Kenikir (Tagetes erecta L.)
Authors: Kencana Roy Ridwan , Maryani Maryani
Published: June 2022

Berbagai penelitian telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan waktu pajang bunga potong demi meningkatkan nilai jualnya di pasar. Salah satu pendekatan yang digunakan oleh peneliti adalah dengan memicu pembentukan karakter anatomi jaringan xilem bunga potong yang lebih resisten terhadap embolisme, guna meningkatkan kemampuan rehidrasinya dengan memodifikasi kondisi lingkungan pada masa penanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh dari kondisi air yang berbeda pada masa penanaman terhadap karakter jaringan xilem, konduktivitas hidraulik batang, serta kemampuan rehidrasi dan waktu pajang bunga potong dari tanaman marigold (Tagetes erecta L.). Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), dimana bibit tanaman berusia empat minggu ditumbuhkan selama dua bulan dengan tiga volume penyiraman harian yang berbeda, yakni sebanyak 20%, 60%, dan 100% kapasitas lapang (KL). Data hasil penelitian kemudian dianalisis dengan analisis variansi (ANOVA) serta uji lanjut BNT (beda nyata terkecil) dalam taraf signifikansi sebesar 5% (α = 0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter struktural dan fungsional xilem pada tanaman Tagetes erecta L. hanya dapat terpengaruh oleh kondisi cekaman air berat (20% KL), yang berdampak negatif pada konduktivitas hidraulik batang, luas jaringan xilem, serta diameter lumen unsur pembuluh xilem. Akan tetapi, tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang signifikan pada karakter jumlah maupun frekuensi unsur pembuluh tersebut. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa meskipun didapati perubahan pada karakter struktural dan fungsional xilem batang, cekaman air yang diberikan pada akhirnya tidak berhasil mempengaruhi kemampuan rehidrasi maupun waktu pajang bunga potong yang dihasilkan.

This study is outcome of performance of varieties of Aonla with intercropping of mustard in horti-agri system. Agroforestry models were established with Aonla var. NA- 6 (Amrit), NA- 7 (Neelam) and NA- 10 (Balwant) and Chakaiya in Randomized Block Design at 8 x 8 m with 11 treatments at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ballia. The soil at the site is alkaline in nature with 8.30 pH , medium Phosphorus , low nitrogen & potassium and low organic carbon. It was found that change in girth at breast height was highest (3.09 and 5.46 cm) for T3 (NA - 10 + Mustard) followed by other varieties viz. T5 (NA-7 + Mustard) 2.75 and 5.07 cm, T7 (Chakaiya + Mustard) 2.63 and 4.90 cm. The least increment in girth was 2.16 and 3.09 cm for T10 (Desi/Biju Aonla) respectively. The increment in height after one & two years depicts that treatment T3 (NA-10 + Mustard) are performing superior (0.52 and 1.17 m) followed by T5 (NA-7 + Mustard) with 0.50 and 1.73m and T7 (Chakaiya + Mustard) with 0.34 and 1.56 m whereas T10 (Desi/Biju Aonla) has lowest values (0.25 and 0.93 m). On the basis of preliminary growth data of increment in height and girth/Cc data trends, T3 (NA-10 + Mustard) is performing superior over others after two year of planting. The evaluation of intercrops showed that higher returns were obtained when the intercrops were grown with Aonla compared to sole crops. The intercropping of Mustard in Aonla based agroforestry revealed that highest (13.51 qt /ha) crop yield was recorded with T3 (NA-10+ Mustard) variety followed by almost similar values with other varieties whereas the sole mustard crop gave lowest yield with 11.33 qt/ha.
Sacrificio y castigo entre los zoques de Chiapas
Authors:   PROIMMSE, Lisbona Guillén Miguel
Published: June 2022

Las páginas que componen esta obra son el resultado de varios años de vivencias y trabajo en Chiapas. Son, también, una mirada oblicua a la realidad chiapaneca dibujada, o sería mejor decir, desdibujada, por un ingente número de informaciones desde 1994 hasta la fecha. El empeño de la investigación consiste en reconstruir los parámetros empleados para la definición étnica de los indígenas, por ello, conceptos como los de tradición, territorio o prácticas religiosas son revisados desde el trabajo de archivo y etnográfico para remarcar, por una parte, las diferencias que en el caso de los zoques, y concretamente en el municipio de Tapilula, ofrecen respecto a otros municipios o regiones de Chiapas y, por otra, para asentar que las variantes históricas no deben ser absorbidas en un trasfondo esencial e inamovible que olvida que la cultura no es tal sino un proceso. Los elementos culturales son imprescindibles para una diferenciación o identificación étnica, pero ello no impide criticar el orden social y político de las clasificaciones que nombran esas diferencias. En definitiva, la obra polemiza con aquellas categorías que usan denominaciones étnicas y culturales sin un atisbo de razonamiento crítico.
Teaching Black Canada(s) Across Borders: Insights from the Caribbean and United States
Authors: Gooden Amoaba , Crawford Charmaine
Published: June 2022

This article offers two unique and overlapping perspectives that explore the challenges and practices faced when teaching and researching Canada from the Caribbean and the United States. Acknowledging that curriculum, which ontologically and epistemologically influences the norms and values of the learning environment, is not a neutral document (Ross 2001, 1) the authors focus on how they enact curricula outside of Canada to discuss issues of rights and diversity as well as to challenge hegemonic narratives of white Canadian nation-building and historiography and ideas of Canada as a benevolent nation-state. Specifically, the authors examine (1) the ways in which assumptions about power and privilege play out in the classroom by either reinforcing or challenging established North/South relations; (2) how the black Canadian experience can be used to disrupt the U.S. black nationalist discourse and allow for an elaboration of the black or African Diaspora; (3) how dominant notions of gender, race and sexuality are articulated differently outside a Canadian landscape; and (4) Canadian-Caribbean relations when it comes to teaching and learning across borders through student exchange programmes.
Model Calculations of Home Education Scale: The Case of Yaroslavl Province in the Late 18th - Early 20th Century
Authors: Didenko Dmitry V.
Published: June 2022

In this article the author reconstructs the dynamics of home education sector in monetary value terms as the case study of a province in Central Russia, with application of mathematical modelling methods. As the source base, the author employs evidence primarily from published memoirs, epistolary heritage, fiction, as well as from previous research literature. The findings are obtained by means of calculations including inter-, retro-, and extrapolations of the quantitative evidence from the sources. The principal findings are the set of methods for reconstruction of annual output in the home education services segment of a regional economy and the respective long time series for Yaroslavl Province. They support the hypothesis that the home segment was comparable in scale to the educational establishments or even could exceed them at the start of the period under study. The methods developed by the author may be employed directly for similar reconstructions based on materials from other regions of Central Russia; and they are applied to the materials from the regions of Siberia, Far East and national peripheries of Russia.

Authors: Díez David , Díaz-Ospina Juliana , Robledo Sebastian , Rodríguez-Córdoba María del Pilar
Published: June 2022

El artículo tiene por objetivo caracterizar la bibliografía académica sobre comunicación de la responsabilidad social corporativa (Corsc), como base para mapear tendencias teóricas y desafíos prácticos de este campo académico y profesional. Esta investigación es de especial interés para las organizaciones que comunican sus prácticas de responsabilidad social con el fin de convencer a sus consumidores y comprometer a sus empleados. También para grupos de interés como organizaciones de la sociedad civil, que aspiran a una construcción más dialógica del sentido y los fines de la responsabilidad social corporativa. Ambos frentes de reflexión caben bajo un enfoque integrativo de la Corsc (modelo 4I), el cual permite organizar y comprender cómo se complementan múltiples teorías referidas a qué es, para qué sirve y cómo funciona dicho proceso comunicativo. Esta utilidad se resalta ante la escasez de revisiones sistemáticas sobre Corsc basadas en enfoques integrativos. Mediante una revisión bibliográfica sistemática desde un enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo, se constató la necesidad de adelantar investigaciones que estudien paralelamente las cuatro dimensiones de la Corsc: la identidad, la integración, la interpretación y la imagen. Lo anterior, a partir de una perspectiva ética que reconozca el papel constructivo del disenso en el estudio y la práctica de la comunicación de la responsabilidad social corporativa.

Use of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance feature-tracking strain analysis to characterize and differentiate aortic annular strain patterns in aortic valve regurgitation versus normal aortic valves.
Authors: Hill Arthur
Published: June 2022

Understanding the aortic annulus is important for obtaining reproducible
and durable aortic valve repair and allowing advances for TAVR treatment
of aortic regurgitation. Significant limitations exist when using
echocardiography and CT-based imaging with feature tracking at the
aortic annulus. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance is used to obtain Regional
Longitudinal Strain (RLS) and can be modified to obtain circumferential
annular strain at the fibrous and muscular portions of the aortic valve
annulus. Holst and colleagues use a novel method to characterize and
prove that adverse annular deformation occurs at the muscular portion of
the aortic valve annulus in patients with aortic regurgitation. The
direction of muscular annular deformation in patients with aortic
regurgitation is opposite to the direction of muscular annular
deformation in patients with normal aortic valves.

were comparable to the ORH or LNSURH groups (P = 0.106 for DFS and 0.190
for OS). The rates of early complications in the CCRT, ORH, and LNSURH
groups, were also not statistically significant differences among the
three groups (P = 0.46). Compared with CCRT groups, the rate of late
complications in the ORH and LNSURH groups was significantly lower. The
urinary and bowel functions were restored to the preoperative state
although the resultant sexual function was not satisfactory. Main
outcome measures：Postoperative prognosis and life quality of these
patients. Conclusion: The CCRT, ORH, and LNSURH can be provided as
options for LACC patients as they showed no statistically significant
difference in the OS and DFS. LNSURH exhibited a lower rate of late
complications and a high score of sexual function.

Abstract Background: The concurrent usage of herbal medicines with
conventional therapies is an important concern in cancer treatment which
can lead to unexpected consequences like herb-drug interactions. The aim
of this study was to determine the prevalence of potential herb-drug
interactions and to predict factors associated with herb-drug
interactions for cancer patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study
was conducted among a convenience sample of 315 cancer patients
referring to the oncology clinics of Kerman in 2018. Data were collected
via comprehensive face-to-face interviews and medical chart reviews. A
drug interaction checker was used to determine herb-drug interactions.
The information of patients was compared based on herb-drug interactions
by using bivariable logistic regression models and predictors were
determined by the multivariable logistic regression model. All analyses
were performed by Stata software version 16. Results: Of 262 patients
who used herbal medicines, 209 patients [79.8% (95% CI: 75.2 –
85.1)] had potential herb-drug interactions. Chamomile was the most
popular herbal medicine (n=163, 78%), and minor and moderate herb-drug
interactions were caused by green tea (n=34, 16.3%) and peppermint
(n=78, 37.5%). The number of chemotherapeutic agents (OR: 1.92, 95%
CI: 1.43–2.58; P-value<0.0001) and the experience of pain
during chemotherapy courses (OR=2.22, 95%CI:1.00–4.94; P-value=0.04)
were some of the predictors of herb-drug interactions among cancer
patients. Conclusion: The majority of cancer patients used herbal
medicines during chemotherapy courses and physicians could reduce the
odds of herb-drug interactions with proper education, monitor the side
effects of chemotherapy, and prevent patients from self-medication with
herbal medicines.
Cannibalism and competition can increase parasite abundance for parasites with complex life history strategies
Authors: Goodnight Sarah , McCoy Michael
Published: June 2022

Understanding how parasite transmission is affected by ecological
interactions among hosts is critical for predicting disease dynamics.
For instance, theory predicts that intraguild predation (IGP) and
cannibalism negatively impact parasite populations, but this is based
primarily on assumptions of simple or single host life cycles. Here we
investigate the effects of cannibalism on two digenean trematodes that
have complex multi-host life cycles. Contrary to theory, high
cannibalism among paratenic hosts produced higher parasite abundances,
whereas cannibalism among obligate hosts reduced parasite abundances as
predicted. We attribute this difference to trophic transfer of parasites
among paratenic hosts via cannibalism. Moreover, we found evidence of
indirect competitive interactions between parasites that can also
increase infections at small scales. Our results show that there are
multiple mechanisms through which high cannibalism environments can
benefit parasites that use paratenic hosts and trophic transfer to
complete their life cycles.

Unmanned vehicle (UDV) delivery technology can meet the special needs of users and realize efficient and flexible distribution of logistics orders. However, there are risks of order data leakage and tampering in the intelligent logistics distribution environment. To solve this problem, this paper designs and implements a system based on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform. Based on the blockchain technology, the system adopts a distributed architecture to establish a secure and trustworthy logistics data management platform to achieve the integrity and traceability of data in the logistics process. The data dual-chain storage strategy is used to ensure the efficiency of data queries. Furthermore, four smart contracts including order management contract (OMC), access control management contract (ACC), access control policy management contract (ACPC), and environmental data management contract (EDC) are designed in combination with the attribute-based access control strategy. By triggering the smart contract, the controllable access of order data can be realized. Finally, two groups of experiments are designed to test the performance of the system. Experimental results show that the proposed system can maintain high throughput in a large-scale request environment under the premise of ensuring data security.
Oxidative/anti-oxidative effects of colloidal silver ions and chlorhexidine in saliva and gingival fluid of periodontal patients
Authors: Kovacevic Vladan , Dakovic Dragana , Stevanovic Ivana
Published: June 2022

Background/Aim. Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease. Oxidative stress is an important factor in periodontitis progress, hence examining the antioxidative properties of antiseptics, such as chlorhexidine (CHX) and silver ions solution (SSI), is a beneficial biomarker in estimating the recovery of tissue impairment during periodontal disease treatment. Methods. This clinical trial was conducted on the control group referred to healthy volunteers and individuals with periodontal disease, divided into two subgroups: before and after applying antiseptic treatments (CHX or SSI). Measurements of oxidative/antioxidative parameters were addressed to determine thiobarbituric acid products (TBARS) concentration and total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) activity in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontal patients. Results. TBARS concentration was increased in saliva before the CHX treatment compared to the periodontal group after the CHX treatment, as well as before both CHX and SSI antiseptic treatment in CGF, compared to controls and periodontal groups after the treatment. Patients before SSI treatment had increased tSOD activity in saliva compared to the control group treated with SSI, as well as compared to patients after the SSI treatment. Additionally, tSOD activity was increased in GCF in patients with periodontitis before antiseptic treatment (CHX, SSI) compared to the control or the group of patients after the appropriate treatment. Conclusion. Our results revealed elevated lipid peroxidation in CGF, which reflected the promotion of oxidative stress during periodontal inflammation. The study suggests that antiseptics with antioxidant properties may reduce tissue damage initiated by periodontal disease. Moreover, the determination of oxidative/antioxidative parameters can be important for diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosis of the clinical state of periodontal patients.

Published: June 2022

Background/Aim. Hyperglycaemia has a detrimental effect on the progress of micro/macrovascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM). Additionally, all known complications in T2DM are coupled with oxidative stress developed from different metabolic pathways. The aim of this study was to estimate the quality of glucoregulation and the degree of oxidative stress in T2DM patients depending on the applied therapeutic protocol and assess their correlation with clinical data and crucial biochemical parameters important for the development of diabetes complications. Methods. All included patients were divided into two groups: those treated with oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD) and those treated with oral antidiabetic drugs and insulin (OA-DINS). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total sulfhydryl groups (TSH), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), total nitrites (NOx), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and activities of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) were measured, together with lipid profile and routine biochemical parameters. All subjects were analyzed for demographic characteristics and detailed medical history as well as smoking habits and calculated for body mass index (BMI). Results. All patients were uniformly poor glucoregulated and dyslipidemic. SOD activity was decreased, and lipid peroxidation was increased in the OAD group compared to OADINS. Deficient glucoregulation in both the OAD and the OADINS groups did not associate with an oxidative state outcome. In both of these groups, the concentrations of VEGF and MMP9 were significantly higher than in controls. Conclusion. The better antioxidative outcome, expressed with a normalized concentration of TBARS, preserved TSH, and normalized SOD activity in T2DM patients treated with OADINS compared to those treated exclusively with OAD, suggests the need for more careful consideration of earlier insulin introduction into T2DM therapy in order to prevent the development of complications.
