This study investigates the vibrant expression of Hinduism in Malaysia, focusing on the Indian diaspora that has predominantly settled in the region over the last three to four generations. The Indian community, initially brought in during the colonial era for work in plantations and construction, has managed to maintain a distinct cultural and religious identity through the establishment of temples, vernacular schools, and cultural institutions such as drama-sheds. These institutions play a pivotal role in preserving and fostering communal bonds. Methods and Methodology: This research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating fieldwork and library studies. Fieldwork includes participant observation and in-depth interviews with community members, religious leaders, and cultural practitioners. The library study involves an extensive review of historical records, religious texts, and contemporary scholarly works on Hinduism in Malaysia. This dual approach enables a comprehensive understanding of the socio-religious dynamics within the community. Implications: The study highlights the critical role of subaltern social institutions in promoting cultural cohesion and continuity among the Malaysian Hindu community. It reveals how these institutions have enabled the community to navigate and adapt to historical and contemporary challenges, ensuring the preservation of their cultural and religious heritage. The findings contribute to broader discussions on migration, cultural resilience, and the integration of traditional practices within modern societal frameworks. This research underscores the importance of recognizing and supporting the role of community-driven institutions in sustaining cultural diversity and religious pluralism in multicultural societies.

Authors: Lin Wen-Tung
Published: May 2024

Among the three borderline Mainland Southeast Asian countries, located in the Indochinese Peninsula, Vietnam has the best economic performance, compared to Laos and Cambodia. The GDP per capita of Vietnam reached US$4,163 in 2022, which was two times higher than Laos and Cambodia. While economic reform policies, political and economic institutions, and colonial history, are similar in all three countries, why does Vietnam have better economic development? Researchers pointed out the economic factors, specifically the positive effects of economic reforms on economic performance. Nonetheless, it is not convincing, while the economic reform in all three countries emphasized property rights, and encouraged decentralization, privatization, and marketization. This study suggested the religious factor of Confucianism in Vietnam that reinforce the effects of economic institutions on economic development, which leads to greater economic performance. The Confucian characteristics of emphasis on saving, education, and following the government's instruction and policies, support the government’s economic reform, which is conducive to economic development.

Published: May 2024

This study explores the key features of scientific articles resulting from international collaborations between Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU), a private higher educational body in Vietnam, and scholars from other countries during the 2011-2023 period. Metadata of 1505 articles indexed in the Scopus database has been downloaded to conduct a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software. Findings reveal that NTTU’s international collaboration publication record can be divided into two main sub-periods: before 2018, accounting for only 9% of the total publication, and after 2019, comprising over 91%. The major contributors to NTTU’s international collaboration come from scholars in Korea, the USA, and Singapore, while contributions from scholars in other countries are relatively less significant. Only three strong research groups are identified, led by some permanent scientists of NTTU, and some from other institutions in Vietnam, Singapore and the USA. Consequently, the diversity of strong research directions of NTTU is somewhat restricted, primarily focusing on a few specific topics with medical science, wastewater treatment, adsorption, and photocatalysis. Excluding most cited articles in the field of medical science, main authors of nine over ten the top cited articles in other research fields are not permanent scientists of NTTU, suggesting that contributions of NTTU in these important studies were not significant.

Published: May 2024

Now it is quite difficult to determine the true cause of the development of epilepsy. This is especially true of idiopathic and cryptogenic forms, which develop for no apparent reason. In such a process, there are no changes in the brain, or other conditions that can trigger the development of pathology. If there is an idiopathic form of epilepsy, the patient is supposed to get a disability. This is due to the fact that this disease leads to a significant limitation of a person in his work activity. We will not expand on how epilepsy is treated in the complex, because with each individual focal diagnosis the doctor prescribes his own set of drugs. But we will only talk about general principles. So, in most cases, the disease can be cured without surgery, only medicamentously. This does not mean, however, the rejection of social and therapeutic assistance, without which it will be difficult for a person to adapt in the society.

Authors: Verheijen Marcha C.T.
Published: May 2024

Depression, affecting over 264 million people globally, presents significant treatment challenges, often due to the limited efficacy and adverse effects of traditional antidepressants and the accessibility issues associated with psychotherapy. Recent advancements in psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly using psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in “magic mushrooms”, shows promising potential for treating major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This review explores the historical context, clinical trial outcomes, and the biological mechanisms underlying psilocybin’s effects. Clinical studies from 2016 to 2023 indicate that psilocybin, in combination with psychological support, significantly reduces depressive symptoms, with benefits lasting up to several months after a single dose treatment. The molecular action of psilocybin involves its conversion to psilocin, which interacts with serotonin receptors, notably the 5-HT2A receptor, influencing neurotransmitter systems and promoting anti-inflammatory responses and neuroplasticity. The review also discusses the safety profile of psilocybin, highlighting its low risk for dependency and minimal adverse effects compared to traditional treatments. Finally, the therapeutic advantages of psilocybin over conventional antidepressants are evaluated, emphasizing its rapid and sustained antidepressant effects, which contribute to its potential as a groundbreaking treatment for depression.

Published: May 2024

Binahong and ginger are herbal plants with various bioactivities, including antidiabetic and antioxidant. One of the herbal drinks used in therapy for patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) is decoction from binahong leaves. This research used binahong leaves and ginger to make a functional drink rich in antioxidants for DMT2 patients. This research aimed to determine the effect of adding ginger on antioxidant activity and sensory tests and the antioxidant potential of binahong leaves decoction as a functional drink for DMT2 patients. The research design used was a completely randomized design with five formulations, namely F0 (0 grams of ginger), F1 (2 grams of ginger), F2 (5 grams of ginger), F3 (7 grams of ginger), and F4 (10 grams of ginger). The parameters tested were antioxidant activity and organoleptic attributes such as colour, taste, and aroma. The resulting data was then subjected to an ANOVA test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that F3 gave a different value (p<0.05) and gave the highest score to the organoleptic properties of taste (5.02) and aroma (5.03). The F4 formulation gave a different value (p<0.05) and gave the highest score for organoleptic properties of colour (5.45). Apart from that, F3 and F4 showed potent antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 45.18 and 38.83 ppm. Thus, F3 and F4 have the potential to be developed as functional antioxidant drinks for DMT2 patients.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition of progressive kidney deterioration, which is characterized by a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate that lasts for more than three months. One of the therapies needed to maintain the quality of life of CKD sufferers is hemodialysis. One of the functions of hemodialysis is to regulate electrolyte levels in the blood, including calcium. Low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia) can trigger the release of calcium minerals from the bones, which ultimately makes the bones brittle. So, it is essential to monitor the blood calcium levels of CKD sufferers so as not to worsen the sufferer's condition. This study used secondary data, and the research instrument used in this research was the patient's medical record. Sampling was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The inclusion criteria set were patients with CKD who underwent hemodialysis and had complete medical record data, including age, gender, length of time undergoing hemodialysis, and examination data in the form of blood calcium levels. The data included in this study came from 68 patients with CKD who underwent hemodialysis and had their blood calcium levels checked. Based on the research results, the prevalence of CKD was more significant in men (58.82%), and as many as 92.65% of the total respondents experienced hypocalcemia. Cases of hypocalcemia occurred more frequently in male patients (52.94%), in the 46-65 year age group (55.88%), and in patients who had undergone hemodialysis for 4-12 months (45.59%). Hypocalcemia sufferers need to pay attention to their nutritional intake to keep their blood calcium levels at a safe level.

Stroke is a condition that arises due to a disruption in blood circulation in the brain, which results in the death of brain tissue, causing a person to suffer paralysis and even death. Exercise activities are part of a rehabilitation program that enhances patient movement. Exercise therapy, such as range of motion (ROM) exercises, is the movement of a joint through its entire range in all appropriate directions. This research method is quantitative, with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A sample of 24 respondents was taken using the purposive sampling technique at RSUP Dr. Sitanala Tangerang. Data collection used two instruments, namely a bilateral ROM checklist and a guide to muscle strength values. Data analysis used the paired t-test in univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results of statistical tests using the t-dependent test (paired sample t-test) showed that of the 24 respondents, the mean pre-test value was ± 3.38 and the mean post-test was ± 4.50. The statistical test results show a p-value of 0.000 (α<0.05). Therefore, we can conclude that ROM has an influence on increasing muscle strength in stroke patients.

Hemodialysis is one treatment option for end stage renal disease which does not cure the disease completely but increases the patients’ span of life. It imposes a lot of physical and psychological burden on the patients. Identification of factors protecting the patients from these burdens is needed. Recent studies have focused on posttraumatic growth (PTG) as a protective factor against the distressing health outcomes. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the occurrence of PTG in patients on maintenance hemodialysis and examine its association with perceived social support and resilience. A convenience sample of 200 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis was recruited from two government hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Data was collected using Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Trait Resilience Scale. Individuals undergoing hemodialysis showed high levels of PTG and the mean total score for PTGI was 60.1+ 11.5. Resilience (r = .79, p<.001) and perceived social support (r = .51, p<.001) were significantly correlated with PTG. Hierarchical multiple regression indicated increasing age, longer duration of hemodialysis, and resilience to be significant predictors (p<.001) of PTG in patients and explained 52% of the variance. The results provide helpful information which could be used to develop interventions for patients to transform their adversity into positive growth by improving their resilience and social support.

Authors: Beşler Zehra Nur , Bayraktar Damla Zeynep , Koçak Meryem Cemile , Kızıltan Gül
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly become a global health crisis. Currently, there are no proven, reliable, specific treatments for COVID-19. Alongside drug interventions, supportive treatments are implemented during the disease. Quercetin, recognized for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties, is under evaluation in this study for its potential impact on preventing, influencing the course, and mitigating the severity of COVID-19.
Methods: A thorough search was conducted across scientific databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SAGEpub, Copernicus, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Elsevier, Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, Crossref, Ovid-LWW, and DergiPark databases, between 1 November 2021 and 1 April 2022 to ensure a comprehensive inclusion of relevant studies.
Results: Thirteen randomized controlled clinical trials (five published, eight unpublished) were identified. Existing literature supports quercetin’s role as a potent free radical scavenger with robust antioxidant properties. It exhibits anti-inflammatory characteristics by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and restraining pro-inflammatory enzymes such as lipoxygenase and phospholipase A2. Scholarly discourse suggests that quercetin supplementation within the 500-1500 mg range leads to favorable outcomes, including quicker patient discharge, reduced inflammation, increased respiratory rate, accelerated viral clearance, and an improved disease prognosis. However, it is noted that intervention durations vary across studies.
Conclusions: The analysis of the studies suggested that quercetin is a promising therapeutic agent that can cause a decrease in disease symptoms, frequency of hospitalization, hospital stay, need for non-invasive oxygen treatment, need for intensive care, and mortality. Nonetheless, more clinical studies are needed to better understand quercetin’s curative effects on COVID-19 infection.

To effectively comprehend human actions, we have developed a Deep Neural Network (DNN) that utilizes inner spatiotemporal non-locality to capture meaningful semantic context for efficient action identification. This work introduces the Top-Heavy CapsNet as a novel approach for video analysis, incorporating a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN) to apply the thematic actions of local classifiers for effective classification based on motion from the spatiotemporal context in videos. This DNN comprises multiple layers, including 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN), Spatial Depth-Based Non-Local (SBN) layer, and Deep Capsule (DCapsNet). Firstly, the 3DCNN extracts structured and semantic information from RGB and optical flow streams. Secondly, the SBN layer processes feature blocks with spatial depth to emphasize visually advantageous cues, potentially aiding in action differentiation. Finally, DCapsNet is more effective in exploiting vectorized prominent features to represent objects and various action features for the ultimate label determination. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DNN achieves an average accuracy of 97.6%, surpassing conventional DNNs on the traffic police dataset. Furthermore, the proposed DNN attains average accuracies of 98.3% and 80.7% on the UCF101 and HMDB51 datasets, respectively. This underscores the applicability of the proposed DNN for effectively recognizing diverse actions performed by subjects in videos.

The coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic remains a hot topic of study to this day. According to studies, mortality in patients with COVID-19 and a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) is 2-3 times higher than in patients without DM.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the course of coronavirus infection in patients with T2DM.

Material and methods: A prospective observation of 381 patients with T2DM and COVID-19 in the intensive care unit was carried out in 2020-2021. 2 groups were formed: Group I (comparison group) – patients with a fatal outcome, Group II (control group) – patients discharged from the hospital with an improvement in their condition. An assessment was made of changes in the dynamics of clinical and laboratory parameters upon admission and before discharge in both groups.

Results and discussion: Patients with a fatal outcome were more often admitted in a serious condition (75% vs. 12.7% at p ≤ 0.0001). Significantly more often than aches (92.5% vs. 69.58%, p=0.0044), shortness of breath on exertion (92.5% vs. 75.17%, p=0.0245), grade 3 DN (62.5%, p<0.0001), the need for non-invasive lung ventilation (28.95% versus 1.39%, p <0.0001) artificial lung ventilation (81.1% versus 1.75% ( p<0.0001) was noted in group I. In the comparison group, the Charlson comorbidity index was higher: 6.0 [5.0;7.0] versus 4 [4; 4], at p<0.0001. In the group of patients who were discharged with improvement, they more often took metformin and sulfonylureas, in the group of patients who died, they were more often on insulin therapy. In dynamics, the levels of intracellular enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase in the group with an unfavorable outcome significantly increased, in contrast to the group with a positive outcome. Also, in a fatal outcome, there is a deterioration in kidney function, laboratory characterized by an increase in the level of creatinine and urea, a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate and blood albumin. Despite the ongoing anticoagulant therapy, patients with a fatal outcome showed pronounced signs of activation of the hemostasis system, which are characterized by an increase in INR, prolongation of prothrombin time and aPTT, and thrombocytopenia.

Conclusion.  The risk of death from coronavirus infection in people with diabetes increases with age. DM 2 is a comorbid disease and acute multiple organ disorders develop with the addition of a coronavirus infection. Coronavirus-induced coagulopathy in patients with DM2 and COVID-19 with a fatal outcome is characterized by poor controllability and low efficacy of anticoagulant therapy.
