Authors: Poletto Paula Silva , Marin Marcela Nunes , Brancini Mirilaini Lino , Araújo Taylane Soffener Berlanga de , Reis Andréa Cândido dos
Published: October 2022

It is known that the production of acid by oral bacteria dissolves mineral phases on the enamel surface, facilitating the formation of dental caries, with lactic acid being the main cause of caries, followed by acetic and propionic acids. Fluoride-containing materials play an important role in preventing demineralization and remineralization and these are widely used in dentistry. Although the benefits of fluoride in terms of reducing the incidence of dental caries are well established, fluoride cannot prevent caries in all patients; thus, the development of new anti-caries agents with remineralization properties is necessary. Thus, new products are emerging with this purpose and in this article, a material with Surface Pre Reacted Glass ionomer (S-PRG) particles will be addressed, these are produced by the acid-base reaction of fluoroboroaluminosilicate glass and polyacrylic acid and are known to have a potential to release 06 ions, such as Al, B, Na, Si, Sr and F, where these released ions played an important role in pH neutralization, leading to inhibition of enamel demineralization early point, where strontium (Sr) is becoming as a strong inducer of dentin matrix remineralization. Thus, this work aimed to demonstrate with a clinical case using S-PRG materials that can become an ally in the remineralization of the dental element. In conclusion, among the innovations that promote the concept of preventive and minimally invasive management, the bioactivity containing S-PRG can avoid invasive and definitive procedures such as tooth extraction.

Authors: Kutyamukama Alice Gitta , Mohammed Abubakar , Okello-Obura Constant
Published: October 2022

Background: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic continues to be a major global health concern, with approximately 38 million people living with the disease, with over two-thirds of those (25.4 million) living in the WHO African Region. In 2020, 680,000 people will die from HIV-related causes, while 1.5 million will acquire the virus. Bibliometric methodologies were used to investigate and analyze the scientific research development on HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Uganda. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective bibliometric analysis was performed on HIV/AIDS literature in Uganda published from 1982 until 2020 and was retrieved using Harzing’s Publish or Perish. We extracted the publications from the Google Scholar database. To ensure all retrieved publications address HIV/AIDS issues in Uganda, a search strategy with "HIV" or "AIDS" and "Uganda" as keywords was performed using the keywords field to refine the results. Results: A total of 446 publications were selected and used. The findings indicated that Relative Growth Rate (RGR) had increased from 0.29 (1996) to 3.40 (2020) with some fluctuations between the years, with a decreasing trend from 2.39 (1996) to 0.20 (2020) with slight fluctuations between the years. The majority of publications (60.3 percent) were written by a single author, with the remainder (15.2%) written collaboratively by two writers.More than half (59.64%) of the publications were cited at least once. In Uganda, research on HIV/AIDS is mostly published by international journal publishers rather than African journal publishers. Journals of medicine-related titles have the most articles published about HIV/AIDS research in Uganda, while gender-related journals have the least.
Conclusion: According to the findings, in Uganda, HIV/AIDS researchers generally collaborated poorly, and researchers tended to publish more with Francis and Taylor, Springer, Elsevier, and Wiley than with other publishers. However, there was relative HIV/AIDS research growth overtime.

Published: October 2022

Streets function both as circulation area for vehicles and vital public space for city people. Street edge is a crucial feature that create the character of the street. In urban residential area, usually boundary element creates the edge of its adjoining streets. If the formation of boundary element integrates with its surroundings properly, it will establish coherence with public and private space, which can enhance one’s urban experience. Dhaka, the bustling metropolis of Bangladesh, is undergoing rapid expansion in residential sector, which is mainly concentrating on individual architectural structures, instead of taking into account the entire urban region as an integrated entity. In most cases, it has been observed that individual buildings are ignoring the outer public environment by constructing solid boundary walls. This type of solid boundary element entirely separates the public and private space that creates negative impact on street environment. Hence, the primary purpose of this research is to investigate the present condition of street edges in Dhaka’s urban residential areas, as well as to assess the influence of various forms of street edges on their adjacent spaces. Therefore, a small segment of Dhanmondi residential area in Dhaka has been selected as survey area. This study was mainly based on field survey and observation. Sources of secondary data were journals, books, information from websites and so on. It is found that, street edges which are physically and visually permeable make positive impact on dwellers and commuters

Obezite tüm dünya çapında salgına varan niteliğiyle halihazırdaki en büyük sağlık problemlerinden biri olarak nitelenmektedir. Günümüzde coğrafi yerleşim, etnik köken ya da sosyoekonomik durumlardan ayrı bir biçimde her yaş ve cinsiyette de obezite görülme sıklığı yükselmiştir. Her alanda olduğu gibi gıda endüstrisinde de gıdaların lezzetini arttırmak amacıyla icra edilen besin modifikasyonları kişilerin duygu durumlarında ve beslenme alışkanlıklarında değişikliklere neden olabilmektedir. Obeziteye neden olan ve bireylerin sosyal yaşamları duygu durumları ve genel psikopatolojilerinde olumsuz sonuçlara yol açan yeme bağımlılığı, gıdalara yönelik hedonik cevapta değişiklikler ve kilo almaya bağlı olarak çok sayıda kronik hastalığa da neden olmaktadır. Her ne kadar günümüzde obezite ile mücadelede obezite cerrahisi bir çözüm yolu olarak gözükse etiyolojine bakıldığında çok karmaşık bir kompleks yapı barındırmaktadır. Altta yatan bağımlılık durumu bazen diyetlerin ve ameliyatlarında netice vermemesine neden olmaktadır.
Patterns, causality, severity, and preventability of adverse drug reactions: An observational study at a tertiary health-care center
Authors: Anthony Leena , P Pundarikaksha
Published: October 2022

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are among the top leading causes of death, adversely affect the quality of life by increasing hospital stay, treatment cost, and morbidity. Spontaneous reporting of ADRs by health-care professionals (HCP) helps in signal detection and enables regulatory agencies to formulate drug use guidelines, issue warnings, or even ban/withdraw the drug from the market. Dissemination of knowledge regarding the patterns of ADRs seen in adverse drug reaction monitoring centers (AMCs) among HCP will enable to promote awareness on ADRs, help in early detection, and encourage them to be more vigilant so as to prevent recurrence of ADRs.

Aims and Objectives: We conducted an observational study, with the following objectives. The aim of the study was to determine the pattern of ADRs reported to AMC at PESIMSR, causality assessment, severity score, and preventability.

Materials and Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective, and questionnaire-based study in PESIMSR AMC, Department of Pharmacology. The study period was between January 2016 and December 2016. All ADRs reported to the AMC in the above period were collected by convenient sampling method. Data collected includes patient characteristics such as age, gender, details of the reaction, details regarding suspected drugs, treatment, and outcome of ADR details as outlined in the standard CDSCO ADR notification form. Data were entered in SPSS version 22. Descriptive statistics used and values are expressed in frequency and percentages.

Results: A total of 153 cases were taken for analysis. Among them, 52% were males and 48% were females. The incidence of ADRs was higher (26%) among third and fourth decade than other age groups. Most frequent classes of drugs causing ADRs are antibiotics (44%) followed by analgesics (10%) and oral hypoglycemics (6%). The most frequently reported ADRs were cutaneous reactions. According to the WHO scale for causality assessment, 59% were possible ADRs. According to modified Hartwig Seigel’s severity assessment scale, about 16% were assessed as severe reactions. About 39% were probably preventable ADRs as assessed by modified Schummock and Thornton scale.

Conclusion: Hospital-based ADR monitoring and reporting programs aim to identify and quantify the risks associated with the use of drugs. This study gives an insight to emphasize the awareness to the health-care providers on vigilant monitoring of ADRs and promptly reporting the same so as to prevent the occurrence of the reactions in vulnerable population.
Successful treatment of ascites accumulation and diarrhea associated with protein-losing enteropathy with oral equine placenta extract supplementation in a dog: A case report
Authors: Fukusima Naoki , Kakehi Nobuhisa , Tahara Kentarou , Watanabe Tsuyuko , Hirano Eiichi
Published: October 2022

Background: Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is characterized by leakage of serum proteins into the intestinal lumen, indicating hypoproteinemia. Immunosuppressive agents are the mainstay of treatment, but in many cases, patients are forced to taper off early owing to the induction of liver damage.
Case Description: An 8-year-old, unneutered female Chihuahua presented with diarrhea and ascites effusion lasting 2 weeks. Based on the results of radiography and blood tests, a diagnosis of PLE was made. Prednisolone (3 mg/kg semel in die [SID]) and MitoMax (200 mg/day) were administered, but ascites accumulation and diarrhea did not improve. Thus, azathioprine (2 mg/kg/day) was added, but there was no improvement and liver damage developed. The liver injury did not improve immediately, but the diarrhea and ascites effusion improved after serum total protein and serum albumin levels increased after they had decreased. Subsequent tapering of prednisolone from 3 mg/kg SID to 1 mg/kg SID, combined with MitoMax (200 mg/day) and equine placenta extract (eqPE) (2 mL/day), resulted in no recurrence of ascites or diarrhea.
Conclusion: In canine PLE with prolonged diarrhea and ascites effusion, supplementation with eqPE may be considered as a reasonable additional therapeutic strategy.

Authors: Balusa Pranay , Bommu Swathi , Murugesan Shanmugam
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Kadaknath is an important indigenous chicken with black pigmentation and cryopreserved semen reputably had low fertility. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of betaine and raffinose in semen extenders on post thaw semen parameters
and fertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Semen was cryopreserved in 4% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with betaine supplemented at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 M or raffinose supplemented at 1, 5 and 10 mM. Post thaw semen parameters and fertility were evaluated. RESULTS: Betaine at higher concentrations
significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the post thaw sperm motility, live sperm and MTT dye reduction and a declining trend in the fertility with increasing betaine. Inclusion of raffinose had no effect on the post thaw in vitro semen parameters, however, the fertility was significantly (p
< 0.05) higher in the 10 mM raffinose supplemented group. CONCLUSION: Betaine has negative effect on post thaw semen parameters and raffinose at 10 mM concentration improves the fertility from cryopreserved semen.
Effect of Ovarian Storage Temperature and Time on Post Thaw Viability and Maturation Rate of Vitrified Immature Oocytes in Sheep
Authors: Sofi Khursheed Ahmad , Qureshi Beenish
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Vitrification of oocytes as a method of cryopreservation is quite successful, although it is still being standardized because of structural and molecular sensitivity of oocytes to the cooling and freezing process. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ovarian
storage temperature and time on post thaw viability and maturation rate of vitrified immature oocytes in sheep. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The work consisted of oocyte collection from ovaries of abattoir sheep stored at various temperature (0 °C , 4 °C and 25 °C) and time (0
h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h) combinations and post thaw viability and in vitro maturation rate evaluation. Vitrification was done in 30% vitrification solution, using ethylene glycol and DMSO, with post vitrification evaluation after 1 week 's storage. RESULTS: Significantly higher post thaw
viability was observed after storage at 0 °C for 6 h (95.3%) followed by 12 h (85%), with lowest value at 24 h (66.7%). However at 4 °C and 25 °C, values were nonsignificantly higher after 6 h (96.5 and 100% respectively) followed by 12 h (93 and 100%), with significantly lower
values after 24 h (85.7 and 90.7%). At storage temperatures of 25 °C and 4 °C, a significantly higher percentage of mature oocytes was observed after 6 h (40 and 39.1%), 12 h (37.3 and 38.1%) and 24 h (34.6 and 36.4%) storage times compared to that at 0 °C (20.3% at 6 h, 14.2%
at 12 h and only 13.8% at 24 h). However, at all storage temperatures, there was a tendency for the level of mature oocytes to decrease with storage time, and the levels were significantly lower than the control. CONCLUSION : Acceptable post thaw viability and in vitro maturation rates
for oocytes is maintained up to 24 h in ovaries stored at 4 °C and 25 °C compared to at 0 °C, and these conditions may be used for the storage of ovaries meant for oocyte preservation.

Published: October 2022

The embodiment of West Lampung Traditional Cultural Expressions has not been optimal both in terms of intellectual property protection and in terms of its usefulness for the local community of West Lampung. In this article, we will discuss how intellectual property legal protection is implemented if it is implemented in the protection of traditional cultural expressions and how far has the West Lampung Regency Government tried to protect and utilize the potential of traditional cultural expressions. This article aims to identify a model of protection against traditional cultural expressions in West Lampung by using normative and empirical legal research methodologies. The results of the discussion show that the Protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions is carried out based on Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright, Law Number 5 of 2017 concerning the Advancement of Culture, Law Number 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Conservation and Government Regulation Number 6 of 2017. 2015 concerning Museums, and Regulation of the Minister of Culture Number 106 concerning Indonesian Intangible Cultural Heritage in addition to the autonomy of the Regional Government of West Lampung Regency has also made efforts to preserve istiadar custom through the Regional Regulation of West Lampung Regency Number 14 of 2000 concerning the Guidance, Preservation, and Development of Indigenous Peoples. and Customary Institutions. The West Lampung Regency Government also seeks to protect and preserve traditional cultural expressions by participating in activities such as traditional festivals organized by the Lampung Provincial Government so that the existence of traditional cultural expressions in West Lampung Regency is known to the public. However, overall the protection of the majority of traditional cultural expressions has not been inventoried and utilized optimally, including the traditional cultural expressions of West Lampung. There should be immediate efforts to regulate the protection of traditional cultural expressions in a sui generis manner apart from the Copyright Law.

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Facebook and Twitter Algorithm and Policies on Misinformation and User Decision Making
Authors: Harner Jordan , Ray Lydia , Wakoko-Studstill Florence
Published: October 2022

Prominent social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter use content and filter algorithms that play a significant role in creating filter bubbles that may captivate many users. These bubbles can be defined as content that reinforces existing beliefs and exposes users to content they might have otherwise not seen. Filter bubbles are created when a social media website feeds user interactions into an algorithm that then exposes the user to more content similar to that which they have previously interacted. By continually exposing users to like-minded content, this can create what is called a feedback loop where the more the user interacts with certain types of content, the more they are algorithmically bombarded with similar viewpoints. This can expose users to dangerous or extremist content as seen with QAnon rhetoric, leading to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and the unprecedented propaganda surrounding COVID-19 vaccinations. This paper hypothesizes that the secrecy around content algorithms and their ability to perpetuate filter bubbles creates an environment where dangerous false information is pervasive and not easily mitigated with the existing algorithms designed to provide false information warning messages. In our research, we focused on disinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Both Facebook and Twitter provide various forms of false information warning messages which sometimes include fact-checked research to provide a counter viewpoint to the information presented. Controversially, social media sites do not remove false information outright, in most cases, but instead promote these false information warning messages as a solution to extremist or false content. The results of a survey administered by the authors indicate that users would spend less time on Facebook or Twitter once they understood how their data is used to influence their behavior on the sites and the information that is fed to them via algorithmic recommendations. Further analysis revealed that only 23% of respondents who had seen a Facebook or Twitter false information warning message changed their opinion "Always" or "Frequently" with 77% reporting the warning messages changed their opinion only "Sometimes" or "Never" suggesting the messages may not be effective. Similarly, users who did not conduct independent research to verify information were likely to accept false information as factual and less likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Conversely, our research indicates a possible correlation between having seen a false information warning message and COVID-19 vaccination status.
Qualitative Data Analysis and Systematic Research Method Based on Japanese Cultural Context
Authors: Kubota Tomomi , Lang Zeyu , Arimoto Masahiro
Published: October 2022

Japanese schools have been found to develop their school-based curriculum and pedagogy. Based on Japan's social culture and the educational trends of the 1980s, which became the prototype for the school's organizational culture, the school had a consistently complex assessment. Therefore, we focused on their narrative data. However, lesson studies are only methodology and not theorized. Japan is no exception; each school's lesson practice records are individualized, and the knowledge is buried. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the productivity of lesson study by interpreting the data theoretically and raising its level of abstraction. This study aims to establish a methodology for conceptualizing narrative data using qualitative analysis software. Lessons were regarded as a system, which comes from cybernetics to clarify the complex relationship between various factors in the classroom. Coding was conducted based on a frame ("kizuki", "nakama") from the narrative data, which was based on the concept of Japanese cultural context. The accumulation of such approaches will contribute to knowledge management in lesson study.
Acceptance of Technology and Academic Writing: Analyze in Perspective of Theoretical Models
Authors: Ferdousi Bilquis
Published: October 2022

This paper studies the factors that contribute to students' acceptance in improving their technical and academic writing skills by applying digital technology. The study also focuses on identifying the available digital technology that can improve students' technical and academic writing performance. The study analyzes students' acceptance of technology in academic writing from various theoretical models that stem from socio-psychological disciplines. Analyzing different well validated theoretical models established in sociology, psychology, and information technology, this study seeks to better understand the factors that may contribute to students' acceptance to improve their writing skills. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a theoretical framework to address the gaps in knowledge existing in current literature about different contributing factors and their level of significance on students' motivation for improving writing skills and adopting digital technology for that purpose. Given the persistent limited writing performance and low motivation of learning academic and technical writing among the students, especially in the computer technology programs, this study is significant. The conceptual framework developed in this study can be the foundation for future empirical research extending the body of knowledge in the area of academic writing while applying digital technology in the higher education institutions.

Published: October 2022

The importance in the economy of media is to know the media market so that media institutions can access financial opportunities in this market, find sources of funding revenue and work on them, and the first step to working on these sources was to realize the procedures that develop those sources. The study collected data through a special form distributed among the media institutions in the Kurdistan Region, where the form was filled out by the directors of the institutions and officials of the departments and centers of those institutions. According to the appropriate arrangement and the rank of the operational procedures for all the funding sources in the media institutions in the Kurdistan Region, the study achieved important goals, the most important of which is that there is no state ownership of media institutions in the region, and the media institutions did nothing to make the state a source of their funding. On the other hand, protecting the interests and agendas of political figures was a way of financing these institutions by these political figures. The production and dissemination of the religious and charitable message led to the financing of institutions by the masses and the generous rich. In addition to the broadcasting and production of the educational message that led to an increase in sales opportunities in the media market, and to benefit from YouTube and create exciting media messages and its activities on YouTube, YouTube made YouTube a source of its funding.

Authors: Warpelin-Decrausaz Loane , Fayet-Mello Aurélie
Published: October 2022

The World Health Organization’s Solidarity trial is one of the largest international randomised clinical trials for COVID-19 treatments in the world and provides an excellent example of a global effort to fight the pandemic. When Switzerland was invited to participate in the trial, the Swiss research community gave a resoundingly positive response. Researchers, investigators, hospitals, ethics committees, and authorities all worked together and made extraordinary efforts – in the midst of the difficulties brought on by the pandemic – to get the trial up and running in Switzerland in a relatively short amount of time.

First lessons learnt about the regulatory aspects of human research related to COVID-19: Perspectives from the SCTO's Regulatory Affairs Platform
Authors: Méance Séverine
Published: October 2022

This article summarises the findings of an internal survey, which was conducted at the end of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic by the Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation’s (SCTO’s) Regulatory Affairs Platform (RA Platform). The survey showed that the Clinical Trial Units (CTUs) and Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) centres received many requests to support academic human research on COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic. Local strategies to prioritise research projects had to be adopted, new practices were implemented, and ways of working from home were successfully developed. The established RA Platform network was considered helpful for sharing information and effective practices. Synergies among research projects were initially missing, and better coordination should be encouraged. At the same time, services provided by and interactions with Swissmedic, swissethics, and the cantonal ethics committees (ECs) were much appreciated. Swissmedic and ECs focused their resources on projects related to COVID-19 and adapted their procedures to allow studies to start quickly. Some practices have been effective and should continue. The pandemic has shown that Switzerland can be considered a competitive place to launch studies in an emergency situation.

There are several reasons why stress leads to obesity. Stress can activate a neural stress response network and trigger eating without hunger. Stress induces the secretion of glucocorticoids and insulin, leading to increased intake of comfort foods high in fat and sugar. However, there is also a possibility that stress can lead to reduced food intake and body weight loss. While stress can lead to under- or overeating, chronic life stress is more likely to be associated with a greater preference for foods high in sugar and fat. The present study was conducted with the following objectives: to assess the prevalence of obesity in adults in the age group of 30-59 years, to diagnose the level of stress using DASS-21 questionnaire and to check the interrelationship between stress and obesity. The study conducted in 200 adult males and females between the age group of 30-59 in Ernakulam district. Their demographic status, anthropometric profile, biochemical analysis, dietary intake were assed using self-structured questionnaire. The stress level was analysed using DASS-21 questionnaire.The result of the study showed that there is a negative correlation between stress and obesity. So one variable increases while the other decreases, and vice-versa. .This might be because of the working condition and lifestyle activities. However, there remains little evidence of chronic stress associated with obesity in the general population

The economic openness of a country is one of the indicators of a highly competitive country. The benefit of the open economy is international trade. This is done to increase state income which can provide community welfare. Changes in the international trade balance affect monetary indicators. International trade consists of export and import activities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of changes in monetary indicators consisting of exchange rates, interest rates, and inflation on export performance in Indonesia from January 2017 to December 2021. The data sources used are from the Central Statistics Agency and Bank Indonesia. This study uses time series secondary data. The analytical method used is the Vector Error Correction Model with the help of EViews 10. There are monetary indicators studied that affect export performance and some do not affect export performance. The exchange rate is proven to have a major influence on and contribute to export performance. The findings of this study show that Indonesia needs to strengthen the rupiah exchange rate.

The global pandemic that has attacked Indonesia has had a negative impact on many sectors of life. In the food strength sector, many livestock producers have experienced a decline in income and production. In an effort to overcome the risks and impacts that are more severe, the author makes a tool with a monitoring and control system in a closed chicken coop as an effort to increase the quality and quantity of eggs from laying hens. This tool uses an ESP32 controller with a user interface through the Blynk application over a WiFi network based on the Internet of Things. The monitoring function of this tool is for monitoring temperature, humidity, and light intensity in the cage. While the control function that is run on this tool is a function of controlling the volume of drinking water for poultry, remaining poultry feed, and the temperature in the cage which is regulated by flowing cold or hot air in each room of the temperature control box according to the temperature set desired by the user. Based on the test results, this system has a good success rate with a sensor reading error value of not more than 5%.
