Authors: Fu Youlin , Yang Zhongming , Qiu Chongrong
Published: December 2021

This paper investigates the effect of rehabilitation training on the clinical outcome and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction after coronary artery intervention. There was no significant difference in daily living ability score and left ventricular ejection fraction
between group A before intervention (P>0.05). The score of daily living ability of group A was (76.58±3.27) significantly higher than that of group B after intervention (73.7). ±3.4) (P<0.05); left ventricular ejection fraction after intervention (55.75±4.4) was
significantly higher than that of group B (52.41 ±4.19) (P<0.05); total satisfaction rate of patients in group A (93.02%) was significantly higher In group B (69.77%), the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05); the total incidence of adverse reactions
and mortality in group A (11.63%, 2.33%) was significantly lower than that in group B (53.49%, 16.28%).), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In patients with acute myocardial infarction, after interventional coronary artery intervention, immediate intervention with
rehabilitation training can improve left ventricular ejection fraction, improve daily living ability and nursing satisfaction, and reduce postoperative adverse reactions and death. Medical staff should be used reasonably in the clinic according to the actual situation of the patient.
Study on the Relationship between Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis and Left Ventricular Function in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Authors: Chen Jie , Lu Zhenguo , Zhou Xiaoqian
Published: December 2021

At present, hypertension is a relatively common cardiovascular disease. It not only affects the normal operation of target organs such as the heart and kidneys, but also causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which can lead to death. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is
widespread in the cardiovascular system and is closely related to vascular diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between changes in left ventricular function, myocardial multidimensional strain and interstitial fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive
rats (SHR) during cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Whether the research is consistent in terms of order, as the age of hypertensive rats increases, whether there is a close connection between myocardial cell apoptosis and the structure and function of the left heart. The method in this article is
to use the method of experimental comparison to randomly group 60 experimental mice and observe the changes of various indicators of rats of different ages, from 12 weeks to 84 weeks. The observations include left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left
ventricular short axis shortening rate (FS), LVEDP, LV+dp/dtmax, LV-dp/dtmax. At the same time, using the TUNEL labeling method, the left ventricular myocardial tissue was sliced, and the apoptosis index of subendocardial and subepicardial myocardial cells was calculated. Then 3 groups were
randomly selected from the experimental group, and Western blotting was used to quantitatively detect apoptosis-related the expression of the proteins Bcl-2, Bax, and Fas were compared between the groups. After analysis and determination, it can be found that the apoptosis index of cardiomyocytes
is positively correlated with LVMI, CVF, and PVCA (r is 0.83, 0.89, 0.72, respectively, p=0.00). Corresponding conclusions are drawn from the comparison of data. As hypertensive rats grow older, the apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes will continue to increase, and when the myocardial hypertrophy
is severe to heart failure, the apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes will increase significantly. This shows that the increase in cardiomyocyte apoptosis is closely related to left heart remodeling, the development of myocardial fibrosis and overall cardiac dysfunction.

Authors: Tian Xiaoran , Bakker Diederich
Published: December 2021

Purpose: This study examined how the catering business quickly responded and recovered from the threats caused by COVID-19 with the use of social media in Beijing, China. It evidences how various catering businesses in Beijing continued to pursue their businesses after restrictive
social distancing measures were imposed. Methodology: Unstructured face-to-face interviews were conducted with nine restaurant managers in Beijing, who worked during both waves of the pandemic in the spring and fall of 2020. Findings: COVID-19 further strengthened the smoke-free law enforcement
in Beijing for the catering business. The Chinese consumers were found to replace restaurant consumption with stay-at-home delivery. Caterers consider social media platforms as essential tools for digital-led customer interaction in a pandemic, but also show concerns about the market power
of these platforms. The Chinese government successfully implemented its health tracking app into popular local social media platforms in the battle against COVID-19, and enabled businesses to continue functioning. Value: COVID-19 not only disrupts our daily lives, but it has significantly
impacted and improved a smoke-free environment, and it has accelerated the catering business to actively embrace technology which led to remarkable innovations. Integrating health tracking apps into popular and highly penetrated social media platforms is considered as one significant success
factor for the containment of the coronavirus and a great help in restoring consumer confidence, leading to purchasing action. This research offers a Chinese inside view of the power of social media to enhance customer interaction and business performance even during a pandemic, profiting
both businesses and consumers alike. Implications are raised for similar integration of health apps elsewhere.

Published: December 2021

Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is explained by decrease in hair fiber production and their eventual miniaturization. It is considered a counterpart of male androgenetic alopecia but the role of androgens in its pathogenesis is yet to be proven.

To evaluate the trichoscopic features in females with patterned hair loss.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and 37 cases were enrolled in our study. Detailed history and clinical examination were done to establish the diagnosis. Trichoscopic examination was done after taking consent in diagnosed cases.

On trichoscopy, hair diameter variability, peri pilar sign, white dots, scalp pigmentation and focal atrichia was observed in 62.2%, 62.2%, 40.5%, 45.9% and 40.5% respectively. Most common trichoscopy finding observed was peri pilar sign and hair diameter variability in 23/37 females.

Definitive diagnosis of FPHL is difficult to be established solely on the basis of clinical examination. Thus, trichoscopy serves as a non-invasive tool to ascertain the diagnosis in these patients.

Psoriasis is an immuno-mediated chronic systemic disease involving cytokines of helper Th1 pathway. Vitamin D has an effect on keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation and immune modulation of immune system especially Th1 pathway, which is altered in psoriatic skin suggesting that Vitamin D may have a role in pathogenesis of psoriasis.

To study correlation between psoriasis vulgaris and serum vitamin D.

To evaluate serum vitamin D level in psoriasis cases and in control group and correlating vitamin D level with severity and duration of the psoriasis.

57 cases (>15years of age) with psoriasis and 57 healthy subjects were recruited. Psoriasis was clinically diagnosed and severity evaluated by PASI scale. Vitamin D was analysed by enhanced chemilumine scence on vitrus Eci autoanalyzer of Orth clinical diagnostic. Vitamin D deficiency defined as <20ng/ml, insufficiency 20-30ng/ml and sufficient 30-100ng/ml.

Vitamin D deficiency in the study was 22.8% in patients and 14% in control group. Vitamin D insufficiency was found in 42.1% of cases and 19.3% of control. According to chi-square the p-value is 0.003 showing significant association. There was a tendency towards decrease in vitamin D level with increase in disease duration. There was negative correlation between vitamin D and PASI score.

The study found a significant relationship between vitamin D and psoriasis. Further metanalysis involving larger study population will be required to establish whether vitamin D levels benefits patient with psoriasis vulgaris.

Published: December 2021

The incidence of diaper dermatitis (rash) in India is reported to be in the range of four to thirty-five per cent in children up to 2 years of age.

To evaluate the clinical effect of using High Air-Through Soft Diaper and babies’ favourite diaper (Standard diaper) on Indian babies’ skin.

This was a single-blinded, randomized, controlled, cross-over study. Eligible babies were randomized in two treatment groups. Babies in Group A used High Air-Through Soft Diaper for the first two weeks and then used standard diaper for the next 2 weeks. Babies in Group B used a standard diaper for the first two weeks and then used a High Air-Through Soft Diaper for the next 2 weeks.

The study was completed with 105 babies.

Theevaluation of the skin using the scoring system and photographs for representative purposes.

At baseline, the mean total diaper rash scores were comparable in both Group A and Group B viz. 3.04 ± 1.00 and 3.30 ± 1.04 respectively and the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.195). After 2 weeks, the mean total diaper rash score increased significantly from the baseline in both Group A and Group B (5.05 ± 1.97; p = 0.001 and 6.16 ± 2.22, p = 0.001 respectively); the rise in the mean total diaper rash score was significantly more in Group B than that in Group A (p = 0.045). After 4 weeks, a significant increase in the mean total diaper rash score (1.31 ± 2.69; p =0.001) was observed from what it was at 2 weeks in the Group A and there was an insignificant decrease in the mean total diaper rash score (-0.52 ± 2.54; p =0.153) in Group B from what it was at 2 weeks; the change in the mean total diaper rash score was significantly more in Group A than that in Group B (P = 0.001).

Both High Air-Through Soft Diaper and standard diaper in babies caused a significant increase in mean total diaper rash score. However, the extent and the degree of rash induced with the use of High Air-Through Soft Diaper was significantly less than that during the usage of the standard diaper. Thus, High Air-Through Soft Diaper due to technologies used in it appears to be superior to the standard diaper in reducing the mean total diaper rash score.

Published: December 2021

Alopecia areata, an auto-immune disorder characterised by the appearance of non-scarring bald patches affecting the hair bearing areas of the body, it can be extremely difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis despite many therapeutic options. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been previously used to treat variety of alopecia including alopecia areata.

A 21-year old girl presented with asymptomatic loss of hair from the scalp for the last more than two years. On examination, there was diffuse loss of hair all over the scalp with few small, thin light-coloured hair in the occipital region. Histopathological examination showed miniaturised hair follicles surrounded by variable inflammatory lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with a marked reduction in terminal-vellus hair ratio to 1:1.The response to previous treatments was poor at the end of 1 year. A trial of PRP was given with no adjuvant treatment with a total of eight sessions of PRP.

Dramatic response was noted after 2 sessions in the form of improvement in hair diameter and total volume. Resistant areas also started showing hair growth.

There are a few studies assessing the role of PRP therapy in AA. First report to establish the efficacy of PRP as a treatment modality in AA, showed PRP therapy to be superior to TCA and Placebo in growing pigmented hair in AA patches. A case report with ophiasis type AA resistant to intralesional steroid injections showed excellent response to PRP therapy. Previous studies have demonstrated beneficial role of PRP therapy in cases of patchy alopecia areata, in contrast ours was a case of chronic diffuse AA. Inspite of many treatment modalities tried for more than a year, the response was unsatisfactory. PRP therapy yielded amazing results in the form of hair growth over resistant areas and overall increase in pigmented hair which were sustained at one and a half year follow up. Our case was unique in the way that excellent response to PRP treatment was noted (a) In a case of diffuse alopecia areata. (b) In a case non- responsive to standard modalities. (c) In a case with no other supportive treatment.
Terror Narrative: Representing State Violence in Modern Indonesian Literature
Authors: Ferdinal Ferdinal
Published: December 2021

Literature and society are a way of looking at problems in society. Literature not only functions as entertainment, but it may also represent socio-political problems. Some literary works even carry more roles as both a reflection of such issues and a means of protest against them, including human rights violations. This paper examines how Indonesian literature has reflected human rights breaches, such as oppression in Indonesia during the New Order era. This qualitative research was conducted through direct documentation. The research revealed that the regime punished any individuals, groups, or institutions which tried to challenge its policy by the name of national stability. Some writers, such as Putu Wijaya, used anecdotes to protest against such oppression. He was a prolific Indonesian writer whose works often expose socio-political issues, such as human rights violations in Indonesia. His writings suggest his disagreement with such abuses. The three short stories investigated here "Sket," "Mulut," and "Rakyat" represent Putu Wijaya's dissent with the violence performed by the apparatus of the regime. Playing his role as a literary activist, Putu uses these stories to remind rights perpetrators that such cases as seen in the stories have taken place and might take place somewhere in Indonesia.

Authors: Kurniawati Fauziyah
Published: December 2021

The dialogues used by the male and female main character in the movie "Imperfect: Karier, Cinta & Timbangan" has many different language characteristics. This research aims to elaborate the expression of language characteristics of main male and female characters in the movie based on Qi Pan's theory and define the socio-cultural factors behind using these language characteristics. This research was qualitative descriptive research. The data source was the movie’s script of "Imperfect: Karier, Cinta & Timbangan." To collect data, the researcher used watching, listening, and writing techniques. Then, the data were analyzed using the textual analysis method. The results revealed that (a) the main female character uses 11 language characteristics according to Qi Pan's theory in dialogue. In contrast, the main male character does not use these language characteristics. Only hypercorrection characteristics are not used in both speeches, and (b) language differences in characters' speeches are influenced by socio-cultural factors that shape their personalities in the movie, creating gender stereotypes that appear in both genders based on their characters. This research represents an expression and relevance between language and gender, which can be found in real life and literary works, one of which is elaborated through Indonesian movie media.

Published: December 2021

As construction of thought, self-concept will continue to grow and develop following the life experiences, one of which can come from stories. Therefore, this study aims to uncover and describe indicators of self-concept from children's stories. The data was obtained based on ten children's stories from the online version of Bobo magazine published in 2019-2020. This research used the content analysis method with categorization and tabulation until inference was found. The results revealed that Bobo magazine had implied self-concepts in the published stories. Among them, such as self-identity related to the labels attached by other characters as well as the character's desire to be what kind of self; personal behavior related to the views of other characters and figures in viewing their behavior; and self-judgment related to the acceptance or rejection of the character's behavior. Then, the physical self-concept associated with gender and character skills; moral self-concept related to the character's ability to control his behavior; personal self-concept related to good relations between characters; family self-concept related to the character's relationship with his family members; and social self-concept related to the character's relationship with his peers. These findings appear to confirm the representation of self-concepts in Indonesian children's short stories.

A közönséges selyemkóró (Asclepias syriaca) hazánk egyik legveszélyesebb lágyszárú évelő inváziós faja. Legközelebbi, európai rokonai a méreggyilokfajok (Vincetoxicum spp.), melyek közül kettő inváziós Észak-Amerikában. Ezek a növényfajok sok energiát fektetnek a rovarok elleni kémiai védekezésbe, így felmerül, hogy sikeres inváziójukat a specialista rovarfogyasztók hiánya is segíti. Szisztematikus irodalmi áttekintéssel összevetettük a közönséges selyemkórót és négy méreggyilokfajt az eredeti és új elterjedési területen fogyasztó rovar-közösséget. Az eredeti hazájában a selyemkórót tíz, a méreggyilokfajokat pedig nyolc tápnövény-specialista, továbbá számos generalista rovarfaj fogyasztja. Az új elterjedési területükön még egyik növényfaj specialista fogyasztói sem jelentek meg, csak generalista fogyasztókat figyeltek meg rajtuk. Ez alapján e növényfajok sikeres inváziójához a specialista fogyasztóik hiánya is hozzájárulhatott.

Kutatásunk elsődleges célja az eltérő színhőmérsékletű, közvilágításban is használt lámpák ökológiai hatásának elemzése volt. A fénycsapdák által vonzott ízeltlábúak mennyiségi adatait egy automatikus mintavevő (Zoolog) rögzítette, a hőmérséklet- és páratartalom-adatokkal egyidejűleg. A nagy mennyiségű adat statisztikai elemzésével lehetőség nyílt a különböző típusú fényforrások által élőhelyükről elvonzott ízeltlábúak biomassza-mennyiségének hosszabb távú nyomon követésére, ezáltal a különböző színhőmérsékletű lámpák attraktivitásának elemzésére, illetve a napi és hosszabb távú aktivitásváltozások vizsgálatára is. A befogott biomassza száraztömegének mérése kiegészítette a fenti vizsgálatot. Mindezek lehetővé teszik a természetvédelmi kezelést, illetve a világítás védett területen történő szabályozását elősegítő következtetések levonását.

Published: December 2021

Mechanical models of a transport system “carriage - track” while crossing a joint irregularity are proposed. An investigation was conducted on the peculiarities of static, shock and dynamic interaction between the four-axle car and the track, considering tram wheelsets motion features over joint irregularity. A method to solve the equations of a mathematical model of static, shock and dynamic interaction is developed. Numerical analysis is used to determine deflections of the facing rail under the first sleeper for each phase of motion depending on motion phases, and car load and speed.

Published: December 2021

Vibroisolation systems of base desks for machine and testing facilities usually cannot effect efficient changing of their own frequencies according to operating conditions. Especially in the case of the automotive industry, the possibility of changing natural frequencies is very desirable. During varying operating conditions, the vibroisolation system needs to be regulated easily and quickly regarding the minimisation of dynamical forces transmitted to the ground and to ensure the stability of the testing process. This paper describes one of the options of tuning the base desk at a relatively short time and by sufficient change of own frequencies, which decides the dynamical behaviour of the whole system.
DESTRUCTION MECHANISMS OF CU-ETP COPPER GUIDES FOR SECTIONAL INSULATORS OF RAILWAY TRACTION
Authors: KONIECZNY Jarosław
Published: December 2021

This article presents the results of a research on the operational damage to sectional insulator guides made of hard electrolytic copper Cu-ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper). The guides were used on various rail routes, in real conditions, on which the trains ran at maximum speeds between 40 and 120 km/h for periods of 6 or 12 months. The microstructure of the surface, the working layer of the guide, which contacts the graphite plate of the current collector and the cross-section of the guide in the place where it was damaged was examined using the Olympus light microscope. The analysis of the chemical composition in the EDS micro-regions was performed using the Zeiss Supra 53 scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the qualitative X-ray phase analysis was performed with the use of the Panalytical X'Pert diffractometer. Scratches and deformations of the surface layer characteristic of the phenomenon of friction caused by the current collector were observed in the microstructure of the damaged parts of the guides of section insulators. The effect of a very intense oxidation process was also observed, as well as the effects of an electric arc, which according to the author, is the factor that has the most destructive effect on the condition of the guides.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the TCF7L2 gene demonstrate the strongest association with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, linking its effects to changes in insulin secretion. The mechanism of action of hypoglycaemic drugs used in treatment of type 2 diabetes is, to a certain extent, related to their influence on the function of β-cells, which implies that variants of the TCF7L2 gene will affect the therapeutic effect of certain anti-hyperglycaemic drugs, including the variability in the effects of incretin-based therapy, and sulphonylurea derivatives. Along with the direct influence of the TCF7L2 gene on the function of β-cells, there is evidence of the effects of TCF7L2 gene polymorphism on the susceptibility to external risk factors associated with the development of type 2 diabetes, including the alimentary factors. Pharmacogenetic studies in diabetology have at present the greatest potential in terms of selection of the optimal comprehensive anti-hyperglycaemic therapy based on preliminary genetic testing, which might improve the outcomes of treatment and the prognosis for the course of type 2 diabetes, reducing the number of life-threatening complications. Key words: GPP-1 agonists, TCF7L2 gene, metformin, nutrition, type 2 diabetes, sulphonylureas

The present research analyses the epidemiological bases, the methodology approach and the utility of the Geo-Covid Cartographic Platform to face COVID-19 transmission at an intra-urban scale.  Geo-Covid is based on the study of the main drawbacks and limitations of the current risk maps, and the proposed hazard mapping methodology is presented as an alternative approach with a high spatial-temporal accuracy. It is based on 1) the map of neighborhood active focuses of contagion, which are classified according to several hazard indexes, 2)  the map of highly-transited areas by potential asymptomatic positives cases and 3) the map of Points of Maximum Risk of contagion. In order to test the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for mapping COVID-19 hazard and risk, it has been applied to Málaga City (Spain) during several stages of the epidemic in the city (2020 and 2021). The neighborhood focus of contagion is proposed as the basic spatial unit for the epidemiological diagnosis and the implementation of mitigation and control measures. After the analysis, it has been concluded that the proposed methodology, and thus, the maps included in the Geo-Covid Cartographic Platform allow a realistic and rigorous analysis of the spatial distribution of the epidemic in real-time.
Bank heterogeneity in interest rate pass-through: A panel evidence of Pakistan
Authors: Nizamani Abdul Rahman , Abdul Karim Zulkefly , Zaidi Mohd Azlan Shah , Khalid Norlin
Published: December 2021

This article examines the role of bank-level characteristics in determining the nature
of interest rate pass-through from monetary policy rates to commercial banks’ lending rates in Pakistan. Several bank-level factors, namely market size, liquidity, capitalisation, profitability, and competition level, were used in analysing the pass-through mechanism. This study utilised a dynamic heterogeneous panel technique, namely the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation for the sample of 12 private commercial banks, over the time span 2003:Q2 to 2015:Q4. Banks of smaller size, large capital, and higher liquidity were significantly affecting the interest rate pass-through procedure. Thus, to improve monetary policy’s transmission mechanism, Pakistan’s central bank should limit bank capitalisation and draw out excess liquidity from the banking sector.
Micropropagation of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz): Review
Authors: Feyisa Ashebir Seyoum
Published: December 2021

Cassava is a vital crop to the food security of millions of people worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because the crop produced a reasonable yield on marginal soils, it could help relieve global hunger. As a result, increasing cassava output and its quality attributes are significant. However, the low multiplication rate of this main crop has resulted in the delayed dissemination of improved varieties among farmers. As a result, tissue culture techniques may be a feasible solution for overcoming these challenges. Cassava in vitro propagation had done using either the shoots multiplication technique or somatic embryogenesis. However, the shoot multiplication approach is preferable since it retains clonal fidelity. Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis entailed the use of numerous basal media containing various plant growth hormones. Several studies found that each type of cassava clone required a unique protocol to achieve optimal shoot initiation, shoot multiplication, root induction, and elongation. This review describes recent research on cassava micropropagation that makes use of a variety of experimental systems. While each of these systems focuses on a different aspect of technique, they can be significant in understanding the in vitro production of cassava planting material.
Heidegger y la fenomenología de la existencia: una analítica cinematográfica del aburrimiento en la modernidad
Authors: Hernández Albarracín Juan Diego , Álvarez González Carlos Fernando , Pallarès Piquer Marc
Published: December 2021

Este artículo presenta una mirada filosófica al concepto de “aburrimiento” (Langeweile) desde sus formas (“por...”, “en...”, “uno se aburre”) y modos estructurales (dejar vacíos y dar largas), trabajados por Martin Heidegger en sus clases en Universidad de Friburgo durante los semestres de invierno de 1929 y 1930. Rescatamos una postura filosófica marginal a las posiciones tradicionales del pensamiento filosófico occidental, pudiendo, en el tránsito hermenéutico-fenomenológico propuesto, entrecruzar sus imágenes filosóficas con narrativas cinematográficas que enriquezcan la comprensión fáctica de la modernidad. Debido a esto, asumimos el aburrimiento y su esencia, la aburribilidad (Langweiligkeit) como el temple anímico fundamental (Grundstimmung) de nuestra era, permitiendo así otras movilidades de pensamiento para estudiar los fenómenos del entretenimiento cultural y el imperar técnico y tecnológico como síntomas de la enfermedad moderna que pretende alejar al Dasein del encuentro, interrogación y cuidado de sí.
