Authors: Landaeta-Jiménez Maritza , Jardim Katherine , Carreño Luis , Vásquez Edgar
Published: August 2023

Introducción. La insuficiencia de ingresos en la familia para alimentarse y la inoperancia del programa de alimentación escolar, son factores que afectan el estado nutricional y favorecen el ascenso de la deserción escolar. Objetivo. Determinar el estado nutricional de grupos de niños, niñas y adolescentes de 13 escuelas en comunidades vulnerables. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal descriptivo en 7.252 escolares de 3 a 18 años, siete en el estado Bolívar (EB) y seis Distrito Capital (DC) y Estado Miranda (EM), realizado entre mayo y junio, 2019. El análisis se realizó en preescolares de 3 a 5 años y en escolares de 6 a 18 años, según localidad y sexo. Se determinó el estado nutricional con peso-talla (P/T) y talla-edad (T/E) en preescolares y el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) en escolares. Valores de referencia y puntos de corte OMS. Resultados: El porcentaje de desnutrición aguda en preescolares fue (1,5%) en ambas localidades y el riesgo EB 3,1% y DC-EM 3,3%. RC 8,2%, más alto EB (8,5%) y en sexo masculino (8,2%). En escolares, la delgadez- delgadez severa (6%), la talla baja y muy baja (6,8%) y el sobrepeso muy bajo (1%-1,4%). Conclusión. En los preescolares, el RC supera la DA, resultados que resumen la magnitud del retraso en los primeros 1.000 días y el impacto de la desnutrición infantil que va dejando huella en la talla baja. Las cifras de desnutrición aguda, retraso de crecimiento y delgadez más bajas que en otros estudios, posiblemente reflejan la presencia de algunos factores de protección que se deben investigar.

Authors: Alabbad Mahmoud , Al-Badr Suha , Ismail Huda , ALGHIRYAFI LAMMA
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the diagnostic accuracy and risk factors of complications of percutaneous CT-guided transthoracic lung core needle biopsy (CT–TTLB) by stratifying pulmonary lesions by size and consistency. The secondary purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the feasibility and safety of 1-hour patient discharge after (CT–TTLB).
Methods:
170 lung biopsies were performed using a semi-automated true-cut needle. There were 116 (68.2%) male and 54 (31.8%) female patients, with a mean age of 60.9±14.24 years (19–91 years). The mean lesion's longest diameter was 6.08±3.33 cm. The lesions were stratified into solid and part-solid lesions. Diagnostic accuracy and adequacy were calculated for all biopsies and for each group separately, as well as the incidence of complications. Complications were stratified into early (discovered within the first hour after biopsy) and delayed (after 1 hour of biopsy) to assess the safety of 1 hour of patient discharge after (CT–TTLB).
Results:
The overall diagnostic accuracy was 80.6%, with no significant difference between small and large lesions, nor with solid and part-solid lesions. An adequate sample for NGS testing was obtained in 135 core biopsies (79.4%). The most frequent complication was perilesional intrapulmonary hemorrhage and the second most frequent complication was small pneumothorax; seen at a rate of 26% and 15.2% respectively. Large pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement occurred in one patient (1.1%). Most of the biopsy-related complications (98.9%) were discovered in the first hour of the biopsy with only two patients presenting to the ER with the delayed incidence of pneumothorax, which was treated conservatively.
Conclusion:
Diagnostic accuracy and adequacy were not affected by lesion characteristics or the number of samples. Larger gauge needles and smaller and deeply located nodules were found to have higher complication rates, compared to the larger size, solid, and peripherally located masses. Early discharge after CT-TTLB is associated with little morbidity and no mortality.

Analysis of The Predicted Volume of Domestic Household Waste in the Communities of Das Bila and Its Impact on The Siltation of Lake Tempe
Authors: Sudarmo Akbar , Soedjono Eddy Setiadi
Published: August 2023

The substantial waste production in the Bila watershed poses a severe threat to the area. This not only negatively affects the environment but also leads to sediment buildup in Lake Tempe. Managing the lake's health entails not solely addressing the lake itself, but also evaluating the impact within the encompassing river basin. This research examines the anticipated waste volume that could potentially contribute to sedimentation in Lake Tempe. The approach taken employs spatial analysis, utilizing a 20-meter buffer surrounding the water body. This buffer represents the zone within which the population is assumed to dispose of waste into the river. The accuracy of the findings was verified through interviews with residents residing within this 20-meter radius. The predominant source of the waste responsible for sedimentation is inorganic in nature, as it doesn't undergo natural decomposition. The study's projection suggests that by 2031, the cumulative volume of waste-triggered sedimentation will reach 1408.63 cubic meters. Addressing the burgeoning waste issue in the Bila watershed is paramount to preserving the integrity of Lake Tempe. By adopting a comprehensive perspective that encompasses both the lake and its surrounding river basin, effective strategies can be devised to mitigate sedimentation and ensure the longevity of this crucial ecosystem.

Published: August 2023

The use of silicon in plant cultivation is one of the strategies to mitigate the negative effects of salinity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of silicate fertilization on the morphophysiological, biochemical and nutritional characteristics of Jatropha curcas L. plants under saline stress. The work was carried out in a greenhouse at the State University of Goiás. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement (plants irrigated with salt water with sodium chloride (NaCl) and electrical conductivities equal to 0 dS m-1; 2 dS m-1; 4 dS m-1; 6 dS m-1 and 8 dS m-1 applied at 80 days after emergence (DAE) and absence or presence of silica fertilization of 1 g L-1 with Si applied at 80 and 95 DAE by volume of 30 mL of the solution with the aid of a spray manual), five replicates and experimental plot of one plant per pot. The evaluations were carried out at 130 DAEs. The absence of differences in the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and visible damages is indicative of the absence of severe toxic effects caused by salinity. The tolerance of Jatropha curcas L. plants to salinity is independent of silicon. The Jatropha curcas L. plant tolerates salinity by minimizing transpiration and remaining hydrated through the water stored in the succulent stem. In addition, the plants control sodium uptake and eliminate toxic compounds through increases in Calcium concentration and antioxidative metabolism respectively.

The spread of obesity and unhealthy lifestyles has contributed to a significant and increasing disease burden associated with diabetes in all countries worldwide. According to recent estimates, the worldwide prevalence of diabetes in 2013 was recorded at 382 million individuals, with projections indicating a significant increase to 592 million by the year 2035. The categorization of diabetes based on its aetiology has gained widespread acceptance in the scientific community. There are two primary classifications of diabetes, namely type 1 and type 2. Type 2 diabetes is the predominant kind, constituting a majority proportion (>85%) of the overall prevalence of diabetes. Both types of diabetes have the potential to result in a range of problems affecting several bodily systems. These complications can manifest as microvascular endpoints such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, as well as macrovascular endpoints including ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Diabetes is a significant public health concern because to its association with premature morbidity, death, diminished life expectancy, and substantial financial and societal burdens. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic illness characterised by heterogeneity and a complex pathophysiology. The condition is distinguished by increased amounts of glucose in the bloodstream, known as hyperglycemia, which arises from irregularities in either the production of insulin or the effectiveness of insulin, or both. Traditionally, diabetes has been classified into three distinct types: Type 1 DM, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), characterised by the body's inability to make insulin, necessitating the administration of insulin by injections or the use of an insulin pump. This condition is commonly referred to as "juvenile diabetes" in medical literature. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), arises due to the presence of insulin resistance. This condition occurs when cells are unable to effectively utilise insulin, either with or without a complete absence of insulin. This particular classification was once denoted as "adult-onset diabetes". The third primary category is gestational diabetes, which manifests when women who do not have a prior medical history of diabetes experience elevated levels of blood glucose throughout their pregnancy. It is plausible that it may occur prior to the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This article explores the various forms, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and global burden associated with the topic under discussion.

Authors: Bambang Rahardjo  , Talita Nandia Primarintan
Published: August 2023

Introduction: This study investigates the connection between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, leukocyte counts, low birth weight, and the severity of preeclampsia among pregnant women. Conducted at Saiful Anwar Hospital in Malang from July 2021 to June 2022.
Material and Methods: This research utilizes a descriptive and analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. Pregnant women meeting specific criteria were evaluated for LDH levels, leukocyte counts, preeclampsia severity, and newborn birth weights. Statistical analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation, were employed to explore relationships and significance among variables.
Results: There is significant differences in LDH levels and low birth weight across patients with mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, and eclampsia. LDH levels were linked to preeclampsia severity, while low birth weight correlated with eclampsia. Leukocyte levels, however, did not exhibit notable differences among these group.
Conclusion: This study underscores the necessity of early assessment and monitoring of these factors in pregnant women, aiming to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes. Further research is recommended to validate these findings in diverse populations and explore additional risk factors associated with preeclampsia-related conditions. In conclusion, this research illuminates the interplay between LDH levels, leukocyte counts, low birth weight, and preeclampsia severity. The outcomes emphasize their importance as potential markers for evaluating and managing preeclampsia-related complications.

Banda Aceh is the provincial capital of Aceh and has been declared as an economic mobility and education center. This period was marked by the establishment of several public and private schools, as well as public and private universities. Education is a process of learning that aims to develop a generation to be more reliable and capable. Facilities and infrastructure are critical components of education. An essential educational facility for both students and educators is the library. As a public institution, the library must comply with applicable rules and regulations namely UU No. 25 of 2009. The purpose of this study is to establish public services at the UIN Ar-Raniry and USK libraries. This research employs a qualitative approach. The findings indicated that the two libraries were extremely capable of providing services to these public institutions. Numerous supporting aspects contribute to the creation of satisfactory service. Additionally, there are various obstacles to the implementation of public services. Minor errors that occur in each institution are a constant source of progress that must be developed over time. This study concludes that public services provided to UIN Ar-Raniry and USK libraries have begun to show results in compliance with UU No. 25 of 2009. However, further efforts are required on the side of the library's internal and external stakeholders to ensure that the implementation of future services sincerely achieves the law's standardization

An Analysis of the Orchid Pavilion from the Perspective of Systemic Functional Grammar
Authors: Wei Yuehong , Lu Qinghan
Published: August 2023

In the 1960s, Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar gradually emerged in the field of linguistic research. It provides a theoretical framework for discourse analysis. The Orchid Pavilion is a widely circulated calligraphy and literary work in ancient China. Nowadays, many scholars have translated it into English, among which Lin Yutang’s translation is especially famous. This article takes the three meta-functions of Systemic Functional Grammar as the theoretical framework, and analyzes Lin Yutang’s English translation of Wang Shichih’s article The Orchid Pavilion from transitivity, mood system, modality and thematic structure so as to investigate the ways in which the ideational function, interpersonal function and textual function are realized respectively. It can also verify the applicability and operability of Systemic Functional Grammar in translation. In all, this article provides a new perspective for understanding and translating The Orchid Pavilion as well as offering a reference in understanding and translating Chinese literary work.

Published: August 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the serious endocrine disorders caused by insufficient production or inefficacy of the insulin and it is the immense cause of death throughout the world. However, finding for novel antidiabetic drugs from natural resources is still fascinating, because of their safe effect on DM. The marine environment provides a pool of unique and novel bioactive compounds due to its extremely diverse environmental conditions and biota. Stomopneustes variolaris is a marine echinoderm, belongs to family Stomopneustidae and they have toxins in their bodies as a defence mechanism which often has medicinal value. The present investigation aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic potentials of protein extracts from the spines, shell, and tissue of Stomopneustes variolaris. The spine, shell, tissue shows significant variation in protein content and the highest concentration of protein was found in tissue extract. The studies of haemoglobin glycation reveal that the haemoglobin glycation was increased with increasing concentration of the glucose. The highest haemoglobin glycation was reported in 20mg/ml glucose concentration at 24hr incubation period. The Glucose Adsorption Capacity of spine, shell and tissue extracts shows a strong positive correlation such as r = 0.9930, r = 0.9931 and r = 0.9969 corresponding to increased glucose concentration. The inhibition percentage of physiological haemoglobin glycation was depended on the glucose concentration. The protein extract of Stomopneustes variolaris spine (86.19 ± 0.28) showed the highest percentage of physiological haemoglobin glycation inhibition at 40mg/ml glucose concentration. The % of Glucose dialysis retardation index (GDRI) was decreased with increasing time incubation in all the tested protein extracts. The spine extract of Stomopneustes variolaris (37.26 ± 0.4) showed the highest percentage of GDRI at 30min incubation period. The maximum percentage of glucose uptake by yeast was observed with the spine extract (46.4±0.25) of Stomopneustes variolaris. The in-vitro α-amylase inhibitory activities of Stomopneustes variolaris spine, shell, and tissue were found as 51.11±0.79%, 41.81±0.31% respectively.

Published: August 2023

Online learning during the pandemic has been a contributing factor to learning loss. However, for students who possess self-control, their learning outcomes still fall within the good category. This research aims to analyze the latent factors of self-control among elementary school students in the context of online learning. This study applied coding analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. It involves 6th-grade students (N=24) purposively selected from one elementary school in the Tanjungpandan district for the coding analysis study, resulting in 84 responses that formed 16 codes for designing the students' self-control instrument model. Additionally, 4th to 6th-grade elementary school students (N=146) from four districts in Belitung, Bangka Belitung, Indonesia were randomly selected for the factor analysis study to construct latent factors based on the 16 formed codes. The data for the coding analysis and factor analysis were collected through online surveys. The coding analysis survey used open-ended questions, while the factor analysis survey used items designed on a Likert scale with a response model based on the degree of "alwaysness". The results of the coding analysis have been presented. The factor analysis yielded two latent factors, each constructed from 6 and 10 codes, respectively. The findings of this research reveal the results of the reduction technique applied to each set of 6 and 10 codes into self-control factors in online learning, namely: (1) productive learning habits, and (2) effective learning strategies. These two factors can be considered for students' self-control during online learning.
