Published: June 2020

Background - Psychosomatic health of adolescent girls at crossroads of childhood and mature adulthood, may lead to various health problems in future. To measure the prevalence and identify factors associated with psychiatric morbidity & psychosomatic symptoms among adolescent secondary school girls in Khartoum. Methods - This ‘Study’ was conducted, in three secondary schools of Khartoum North. The Simple Random Sampling Technique was applied to select three schools from the spot map of Khartoum North for this study, and 491 girl students in the adolescent age group were selected from the completed updated list of students from the enrollment registers in these schools. Results - according to the cut-off point (≥ 24 in the G.H.Q -28) findings showed that the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity (severe depression and anxiety) was 60.89% among the adolescent secondary school girls while the psychosomatic disorder was 34.62%. The psychosomatic disorder was found to be significant (P<0.05) with the following three factors: a) late (18-19 yrs.) adolescent age, (61.30%), chi- square= 18.611, df=1, O.R=0.435617 ,CI95%=(0.276629, 0.685981) ; b) physicals abuse (39%) chi- square= 22.34, df =1, O.R=0.281,CI95%=(0.172871, 0.458281) and c) verbal abuse (72%) chi- square= 21.86, df=1, O.R=0.433,CI95%=(0.27331, 0.688). A borderline significant was seen with the family moderate (40%) and low income (40%), chi- square= 5.09, df=2, O.R=(0.839, 0.799),CI95%=((0.508247, 0.503899),( 1.755645 , 1.426668)). However, no significance was there in relation to marital status (married 83.5%), chi- square= 2.324,df=1, O.R=1.06,CI95%=(0.586947,2.197218),mothereducation(elementary61.76%)chisquare=1.692,df=2,O.R=(1,0.951),CI95%=((0.385528,0.554214),(2.674766, 1.626457)) and further education (high level 73 %) chi- square= 3.17, df=2, O.R=(1.282, 1.024),CI95%=((0.354603, 0.55087,)( 4.49567, 1.903074)). Conclusion - Despite the fact that there is no significant (P>0.05) relation between the fathers' level of education and the occurrence of psychosomatic however, the odds ratio of disease is 28% higher among the girls whose fathers were illiterate in comparison to the girls whose fathers were of  high level of education. among adolescent school girls.
PROBIOTICS AND THEIR ATTRIBUTES IN HUMAN HEALTH THERAPY: REVIEW
Authors: Tijjani Kabwanga Ismail , James Munanura , Altın Cansu
Published: June 2020

There is a strong correlation between diet and human health. Research shows that a number of disease and disorders can be prevented/regulated by the use of probiotic microorganisms. Probiotics are used in the management of illnesses/disorders such as intestinal pathogenic infections, helicobacter pylori infections, urogenital infection, cancer, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, GIT, IBD and lactose intolerance among others. Probiotics may also have a direct or indirect influence to the human health by the elimination of toxins, protection against enteric microorganisms and boosting the body immune system. These benefits among others have led to the in-depth studies aiming at the understanding of specific probiotics and the mechanism involved in disease therapy. Some commonly used probiotic strains in the dairy industry include among others Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri, and S. boulardii. Although the mechanisms used by probiotics in disease treatment is not specifically clear, its reported that the modification of the intestinal microbiota, production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) hence maintenance of the pH in digestive system, production of bacteriocin and vitamins could be among the possible mechanisms. The aim of this review paper is to highlight the benefits of probiotics in human health & infections control through the consumption of probiotic products and some mechanism involved.
TRANSITION FROM MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: A CLOSE SCRUTINY FROM INDIA
Authors: K P Vipin Chandran , P Sandhya
Published: June 2020

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have gained a lot of interest due to the partial success of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in eradication of poverty and human development. India has taken a lot of initiatives to meet the targets for the same and have achieved progress in this regard. The MDGs were particularly helpful in communicating a clear purpose of development aid to mobilize public support. The SDGs seek to address not only the root causes of poverty but also the universal need for sustained development to provide a life of dignity to all. The main objectives of the present study are; to examine the performance of Millennium Development goals (MDGs) and make a comparison with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in India; to compare the component wise progress and policy initiatives of MDGs and SDGs in India; and to analyze the current progress of SDGs in India and also make a comparison among Indian states using the report of SDG India Index 2019. The data has collected from various official publications of UN, Government of India, NITI Aayog, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. The present study finds that SDG proposals will ensure momentum generated by MDGs is carried through to 2030 to end deprivations. India’s achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals will require a focus on the acceleration of inclusive economic growth; guaranteed access to comprehensive social services; vast investment in basic infrastructure and women’s empowerment. The present study is an attempt to analyze these issues in India.
Optimizing patient outcomes by improving STEMI target times
Authors: Binda Danielle
Published: June 2020

It is widely recognized that delays in STEMI identification and treatment can negatively affect patient outcomes. Early intervention to achieve reperfusion of the blocked vessel is crucial in minimizing myocardial damage and optimizing patient outcomes.

 

In April 2017, the Southern Alberta STEMI program identified a delay in SHC ED achieving STEMI target times as outlined by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.

Of all walk-in STEMI patients presenting to SHC ED between October 2016 and October 2017 requiring urgent transfer to FMC cardiac cath lab:

24% met the ‘Triage to 1st ECG target’ of ≤ 10 mins

6% met the ‘Door in-Door out target’ of ≤ 30 mins

 

 

A multi-disciplinary project team was formed to examine barriers to both targets and begin implementing strategies aimed at improving these times.

Constructing history – constructing names. Personal names of early Hungarian history and the posterity

The topic of the paper is how people of modern times attempt to approach the onomasticon of personal names of the past, of which they lack sufficient knowledge; and how they create a picture of it for themselves and their peers. The paper presents the topic with the help of examples from different eras and genres of cultural history. The paper is based on sources, originating from centuries later, of personal names of the Hungarian Middle Ages, especially the time of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (the end of the 9th century). In the case of the 13th-century Gesta Hungarorum, the intentions of the author and the methods he applied to create and give personal names to narrate the events of the Conquest, of which he had little knowledge, can be easily identified.

The writers and poets of the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century – which was the era of national awakening, language reform and romanticism – also exemplify how authors could use old or create new personal names in their historical works influenced by the conditions of their era. Continuing the topic, the paper discusses the process and methods of renewing the onomasticon of first names in national contexts, the role of first names registries from this point of view, and how these often paint a misleading picture of their subject, and thus Hungarian history. Finally, the paper deals not only with the laic considerations of our oldest personal names, but also with the problems of their discussion from a historical point of view, emphasizing the need to involve not only historical onomastics but also the approaches of literary onomastics, folk and applied onomastics.

Apparent-time and real-time studies of place names in Pród

This paper contains a socio-onomastic examination of the place names of Pród, a small town in Hajdú-Bihar county. The empirical research focuses on the applicability of the apparent-time and real-time studies to the sociology of place names. In a follow-up study (panel study), the author compared the place name knowledge of some residents of Pród in 2013 and in 2019. The panel study revealed that in the six and a half years between the two surveys, children’s and young people’s knowledge of names expanded greatly. In the middle of one’s life, the number of known names – which sometimes increases vastly, in many cases almost doubles – begins to stagnate, and after that only minimal reduction or expansion can be observed in the established toponymic knowledge. This general tendency may be influenced by changes in one’s knowledge of names resulting from unique living situations or life events.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Choi Sang-Ho
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study was to analyze the quantity and quality of teacher-student interaction in student engagement mathematics classes. To achieve this goal, we observed the first semester classes of the first year of middle school by experienced teachers who conducted teaching methods that promote students’ engagement in classes for more than 20 years. All the classes observed during the semester were analyzed using the transcript data(44 classes). As a result of the analysis, mathematics classes in student engagement were similar in the extent of interaction between teachers and students, and half of the teacher discourses were characterized by revocing. And it was concluded that the strategies of regeneration within the teacher discourse structure enabled students to participate and contribute to the development of the mathematical discourse. In this way, analyzing the lessons of the whole semester with active student engagement and deriving research results, demonstrated the possibility of the generalization of teacher-student interaction patterns. Conversely provides concrete and practical ideas for the implementation of pedagogy that will promote student engagement in the future.
Trends in maternal and child health outcomes in a health systems intervention: a case of Obekai dispensary in western Kenya
Authors: Esamai Fabian , Mwangi Ann , Tabu John , Nangami Mabel , Were Edwin , Ayuku David
Published: June 2020

Background

Maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality are higher in low-income compared to high-income countries primarily due to weak health systems that impede access and utilization of health services. Despite significant improvements in maternal, neonatal and under five children indicators, in some low-income countries, including Kenya these indicators remain relatively high prompting the search for innovative interventions to catalyze the progress towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 target by 2030. We describe the results of a study that assessed the impact of an innovative health systems approach on maternal, neonatal and under-five children outcomes.

Methods

This was a four year pre-post prospective study to describe trends in the outcomes through the implementation of the Enhanced Health Care (EHC) using the Find Link Treat and Retain (FLTR) strategy. This was implemented in the catchment population of a ‘level 2’ facility, Obekai dispensary in Busia County, Kenya between January 2016 and January 2019. The study population was pregnant women, newborns and under-five children identified and referred to the facility over the study period. Women were identified in the community by community health workers early in pregnancy and followed up in Obekai dispensary until delivery. The newborns were followed up for the whole period the mother baby dyads were in the study. The EHC was implemented on these pairs during the duration of study upto 2-3 years. An interrupted time series model for a single group was used to assess the effect of the intervention on the outcome.

Results

Attendance in the outpatient, under five and antenatal clinic increased by 76%, 37% and 54% respectively from 2015 to 2018. There was a 90% fully immunization coverage with 97% and 94% BCG and Polio coverage respectively among children studied. There was a 91% facility delivery rate among the pregnant women enrolled in the study. After introduction of FLTR the immunization uptake increased significantly per quarter at a rate of 29.2 (95% confidence interval, CI=20.1-38.3). There was an increase in facility delivery, antenatal (ANC) attendance and decrease in neonatal death after introduction on FLTR.

Conclusions

Maternal and under-five health indicators in Obekai improved over the study period following the implementation of the EHC package.
Impact of the Insect Growth Regulator Pyriproxyfen on Immature Development, Fecundity, and Fertility of Aedes albopictus
Authors: Rhyne Megan N. , Richards Stephanie L.
Published: June 2020

Aedes albopictus is a vector of several arboviruses; however, control of this day-active species is difficult with ultra-low-volume insecticide treatments applied at dusk/dawn periods. In the current laboratory study, blood-fed Ae. albopictus were exposed to Archer® (insect growth regulator AI: pyriproxyfen) residue in glass bottles (to approximate barrier treatment) and allowed to oviposit. Control mosquitoes were exposed to clean bottles. To evaluate potential dilution effects of water volume, mosquitoes were allowed to oviposit in (relatively) small (59 ml water) or large (177 ml water) containers. The extent to which fecundity (number of eggs laid), fertility rate (number of larvae hatched/number of eggs laid × 100), and emergence rate (number of adults emerged/number of larvae hatched × 100) differed between groups was characterized. In the control group, 18–21 (82–95%) mosquitoes laid eggs, while only 10–11 (45–50%) of mosquitoes in the pyriproxyfen group laid eggs. These sample sizes should be considered when comparing results to other studies. Significantly lower (P = 0.0008) fecundity was observed in mosquitoes exposed to pyriproxyfen (mean ± SE) (small container: 25.2 ± 7.1, large container: 24.3 ± 7.1) compared to control mosquitoes (small container: 49.2 ± 7.8, large container: 52.7 ± 5.2). Regardless of treatment, no significant differences in fecundity were observed between mosquitoes allowed to oviposit in different-sized containers. Hatch rate was significantly lower in the pyriproxyfen group and was impacted by container size (P = 0.032) and treatment (P < 0.0001) (large, control: 61.9% ± 7.8; small, control: 38.0% ± 7.1; large, treated: 10.3% ± 2.4; small, treated: 2.9% ± 1.9). Adult emergence rates were not significantly impacted by treatment or container size. Pyriproxyfen applied as a barrier treatment may be an effective tool for controlling Ae. albopictus.

Collections of mosquitoes were conducted for the surveillance of species of medical importance in the state of Morelos, Mexico, in June 2017. Species collected included Mansonia (Mansonia) dyari, which was identified using morphological characters and cytochrome c oxidase I DNA barcoding. Although 3 species of genus Mansonia have been previously reported in Mexico, this is the 1st confirmed record of Ma. dyari in Morelos State, where no Mansonia species had been recorded. Historical records of Ma. dyari and Ma. indubitans in Mexico were reviewed. Therefore, this record increases the number of mosquito species occurring in Morelos to 46. The specimens collected in this study were deposited in the Culicidae collection of the Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro, Unidad Laguna.

Published: June 2020

Despite growing interest in high-intensity interval training as a time-effective way for older adults to improve their health, there is little consensus regarding the better way to plan a HIIT intervention. Given the loss of function and health problems of an older adult population, the identification and characterization of interventions and strategies is a fundamental prerequisite. The goals of this review are examining high-intensity interval training as a way to improve health, and finding out the highestintensity viable HIIT protocol. Studies were included in this systematic review if: (1) they studied a population of older adults; (2) prescribed an intervention that can be described as high intensity; and (3) reported health-related outcome measures. The resulting 14 papers were included in our study. The present review found that high-intensity interval training is an effective tool to improve indicators of body composition as well as cardiometabolic and cardiovascular health, with 90-95% HRmax cycle ergometer sessions held two-three times a week, with a minimum session length of 40 minutes, in an intervention at least 12-week long, effecting significant improvements on the health of participants. Recommendations regarding optimal exercise duration and rest intervals must remain ambiguous given the scarcity of published literature and the methodology and limitations of those studies that are already available

Hipokalemik periyodik paralizi (HPP), ağır egzersiz, diyet yapma veya yüksek karbonhidratlı yemekler ile tetiklenen ve ağrısız kas güçsüzlüğü ataklarıyla karakterize kaslarda iyon kanallarındaki bir defekt ile ilgili olan nadir görülen bir nöromüsküler bozukluktur. Biz bu olguda ani başlangıçlı güç kaybı şikayetiyle Acil Servis (AS)’e başvuran ve daha öncede benzer şikayetleri olan 37 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. AS’te çalışılan rutin kan testlerinde serum potasyum seviyesi belirgin olarak düşük saptandı. Hipokaleminin diğer nedenleri dışlandı. Hastanın semptomları potasyum yerine koyma tedavisi ile 4 saat gibi kısa bir sürede tamamen düzeldi. Bu olgu, ani flask paralizisi ile başvuran genç hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda nadir olmasına rağmen HPP’nin düşünülmesi gerektiğini ve serum potasyum seviyelerine bakılarak kolayca belirlenebileceğini göstermektedir.

Published: June 2020

Objective: There is a lack of data in the current literature regarding the spontaneous progression of inflammatory biomarkers early after cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) placement. In our study we aimed to detect C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) trends in the 5 days following CIED implantation. Methods: We retrospectively investigated a total of 235 patients who received CIEDs between 2012 and 2016 in our heart center. The levels of CRP and WBC for one day before and for the following 5 days after the procedure were noted in 4 serial measurements. The longitudinal course of CRP and WBC and their association with various parameters were analyzed with linear mix model of repeated measurements. Results: Totally 235 patients were screened; 36 patients excluded due to lack of serial CRP and WBC measurements, 44 patients excluded due to occurrence of a factor that may potentially affect CRP and WBC level. Finally 153 patients with a median age of 67 (IQR 58-74), 41 (26.8%) of whom were female, were included in the study. CRP values indicated a significant trend and made a peak in the second estimation (between 48-72 hours) after the procedure (Beta[β]: 0.208; Standard Error [S.E]: 0.015; p< 0.001). Age and procedure duration longer than 1 hour emerged as leading factors for high level of CRP (β:0.004; S.E: 0.002; p=0.05 and β: 0.208; S.E: 0.015; p= 0.02, respectively). The relation between time and WBC count was not statically significant (β: -0.129; S.E: 0.06; p=0.06). Conclusion: Progression of CRP after CIED implantation demonstrates a significant trend. Age and procedure duration longer than 1 hour are leading factors for high levels of CRP. There is statistically non-significant relation between WBC levels and time in 5 days of procedure.

Published: June 2020

Energy is the main resource that supports human life, lately developing alternative energy supporting the main source of energy is referred to as renewable energy. Renewable energy is a type of alternative energy that can be used as a companion to fossil energy. Awareness of energy use can be implemented to students through learning or energy literacy. Energy literacy can be developed in junior high school students by providing knowledge, attitudes, and positive behavior in the use of energy especially encouraging the role of energy in life. The measurement of energy literacy in this article aims to measure how students 'understanding of the role of energy through students' attitudes and behavior in saving energy as well as knowledge of alternative energy through relationships from 3 aspects. Through the energy literacy framework adapted from DeWaters measurements using an online questionnaire conducted on 183 students from several junior high schools in the area of Central Java. When viewed from the relationship of sex with the three aspects there is no relationship seen from the results of Chi Square. However, the relationship between aspects of saving energy and renewable energy and energy shows a relationship between the results of the questionnaire. So that the attitude of energy literacy shown by students is not affected by gender.

Authentic Arseholes and the Problem with Transformational Leaders
Authors: Mills John Paul
Published: June 2020

Within the present manuscript, I outline transformational leadership as a concept, identify gaps in our current empirical understanding of the concept, clarify a host of conceptual issues, and suggest some initial ideas around how we as a field may attend to measurement problems that have hampered the advancement of research examining transformational leadership at more than a behavioural level. Specifically, I critically challenge (1) use of the term authentic transformational leadership, and (2) definitions of transformational leaders. It is hoped that in clarifying these misconceptions, the field may be able to advance more clearly in its collective use of language.
Conveying Empathy in Social Interactions: The Role of Expressivity
Authors: Spencer Christine , McKeown Gary John
Published: June 2020

The phenomenon of empathy is often examined in contexts where people demonstrate compassion towards others. However, less is known about the way in which we empathise with others in everyday conversations which are less emotionally-charged. This study sought to explore whether there is a relationship between people's expression levels and the degree to which they are perceived to be empathising. 408 participants were shown thin-slice clips of pairs of people demonstrating varying degrees of empathy towards each other, as rated by groups of naive online observers. The participants then rated the degree to which each interlocutor was behaving in an expressive way. Linear mixed effects modelling was used to test whether there was a significant relationship between the interlocutors' expressivity levels and perceptions of how empathically they were behaving. The results indicated the existence of such a relationship with an increase of 0.14 units in empathic behaviour intensity ratings observed for every increase of 1 unit in expressivity level. A second model explored whether this effect was influenced by the gender dynamic of the interaction. The results revealed that expressivity conveyed empathic understanding and responsivity in female-female and mixed-sex dyads but did not appear to do so for male-male dyads. The findings offer support to the notion that behaving in a highly expressive way can be a way of conveying empathy in everyday conversations, but this effect may be dependent on an empathiser's gender in relation to their target. Further studies with more examples of naturalistic empathising behaviour will help to establish the generalisability of this finding.
Hepatitis C models of care: approaches to elimination
Authors: Biondi Mia J , Feld Jordan J
Published: June 2020

Hepatitis C direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have an efficacy of 95% or greater, with pangenotypic options. Many regions in Canada have recently abolished the need to demonstrate fibrosis before treatment with DAAs, and several combination therapies are available under public and private insurance coverage. As a result, efforts to increase treatment are largely focused on engaging specific populations and providers. With minimal side effects and decreased need for monitoring, hepatitis C screening, linkage, and treatment can largely be done in a single setting. In this article, we highlight both Canadian and international examples of the specialist’s ongoing role and discuss the task shifting of hepatitis C treatment to primary care; specialized community clinics; and mental health, corrections, addictions, and opioid substitution therapy settings. Although specialists continue to support most models of care described in the literature, we highlight the potential for non-specialist care in working toward the elimination of hepatitis C in Canada.
Self-compassion moderates associations between distress about sexual problems and sexual satisfaction in a daily diary study of married couples
Authors: Ferreira Jessica S. , Rigby Richard A. , Cobb Rebecca J.
Published: June 2020

Sexual problems, including problems with desire, subjective arousal, initial physiological arousal, maintenance of physiological arousal, pain, and orgasm are associated with personal distress and sexual dissatisfaction. Self-compassion facilitates psychological adjustment to distressing events, and therefore we predicted that self-compassion would buffer negative effects of distress about sexual problems on sexual satisfaction in 125 mixed-sex married couples over 21 days. Individuals’ daily distress about sexual problems was negatively associated with their own and partner’s daily sexual satisfaction. Individuals’ baseline self-compassion was positively associated with their own daily sexual satisfaction, and husbands’ (but not wives’) self-compassion was positively associated with their partner’s daily sexual satisfaction. Only husbands’ self-compassion moderated associations; specifically, husbands’ distress about sexual problems was negatively associated with their daily sexual satisfaction when self-compassion was low and there was no association when self-compassion was high. The same pattern of results was observed for husbands’ distress about desire, subjective arousal, and orgasm. A different pattern emerged for cross-partner effects; there was no association between husbands’ distress about sexual problems and wives’ daily satisfaction when husbands’ self-compassion was low, but there was a negative association when husbands’ self-compassion was high. The same pattern was observed for husbands’ distress about subjective arousal, pain, initial physiological arousal, and maintaining physiological arousal. Thus, husbands’ self-compassion buffers the negative effects of distress about sexual problems on their own sexual satisfaction but potentiates the negative effects of distress on partner outcomes.

The study for the first time in didactics of biology puts the problem of realization of teaching methods of biology, classification is done by levels of cognitive activity of students in the system of questions and tasks textbooks on biology, as in the structure of the components of methodological textbooks are crucial in learning by students content.It was investigated that the question-tasks are intended to stimulate and direct the cognitive activity of students in the process of assimilating the content of the text of the textbook, thus contributing to the development of their cognitive interests and abilities, as well as the formation of skills and abilities of independent activity with educational material and during independent observation of natural and natural-social phenomena and objects.The classification of task-related questions by the main (dominant) function was presented, which made it possible to distinguish the following three groups (levels) of task questions:- the first level of difficulty - the easiest, performing reproductive function - the consolidation of knowledge, skills and abilities of students. Assist students to recite the studied, pay attention to the characteristic of natural and natural-social phenomena, processes and objects, to work with maps, charts, diagrams, tables, other illustrations of the textbook and contour maps;- the second level of complexity - help to master the methods of logical thinking and knowledge about the experience of creative activity, make it possible to establish interrelations and interdependence of local lore and internal phenomena and processes with the world;- the third level of complexity - help to master the experience of creative activity and form educational and research skills and skills in the process of independent observation and research, especially regional studies.The tracing of the availability of three levels of difficulty in textbooks in the textbooks allows the teacher to organize the training of all students, as well as to promote their self-education. The application of the systematic method of research has allowed to establish a divergence in the development of questions-tasks, the dispersion of numerous false categories, with a numerical predominance of their reproductive nature, which does not contribute to the modern requirements of creative development of students.
