Published: June 2022

Based on the results of preliminary observations on the medical record file for the BPJS patient accident case that was carried out by researchers at the Baubau City Hospital in 2019, the coding of the diagnosis on the medical record form for the BPJS patient accident case at the Baubau City Hospital was not accompanied by an external cause code. This study aims to identify the causes of the external causes code not yet implemented in the medical record file of BPJS patient accident cases at the Baubau City Regional General Hospital. This research was conducted in the PPTARS room of Baubau City Hospital. The design of this study was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach with a case study design. Research subjects included one inpatient coding officer and head of the medical records field. The object of this research is the medical record file of BPJS patient accident case and the standard operational procedure about external causes in Baubau City Hospital. Data collection techniques was done by observation, interview and documentation study. The results showed that aspects that affected the implementation of the external causes code were Man, Money, and Methods aspects. In the Man aspect, HR has never participated in training related to external causes and there have been no orders from superiors / centers regarding external causes data needs. In the Money aspect, the patient's external causes code has not had a significant effect on the patient's INA-CBGs claim and for the Methods aspect, there is no SOP related to external causes. For this reason, officers should be given training, external causes codes are taken into account in making INA-CBGs claim reporting and RL4a reports related to morbidity, and SPOs about coding external causes are compiled and applied

Published: June 2022

The Aral Sea basin is situated at the northern part of the Republic of Karakalpakstan (an autonomous republic within Uzbekistan) and decants into the Syr Darya River. The southern part is located in the Republic of Uzbekistan territories and decants into the Amu Darya River. The two rivers irrigate most of the territories of Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan,Kazakhstan, Karkyistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) beside the northern parts of Afghanistan. The Aral Sea has faced acute environmental, economic and humanitarian crises for many decades due to an agrarian reform project during Soviet Union era. The gradual drying of the Aral Sea led to an environmental disaster affecting millions living in the Aral Sea basin area and its surroundings, particularly in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. This research addresses the Aral Sea ecological disaster’s consequences and socio-economic situation, in addition to the Aral Sea disaster impact on population and environment. The aim of this research paper is to create awareness of the ecological disaster of the Aral Sea basin, finding solutions from the international community, cooperation among the Central Asian Countries regarding the issue, and water security in the region.

Published: June 2022

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led scientists to search into nature for novel therapeutic molecules with less or no side effects. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of methanol extract of the leaves and stems of two plants species widely used in traditional medicine in the Mediterranean basin; Rosmarinus officinalis and Nerium oleander. The antibacterial activity was evaluated through determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by the agar dilution method on four microbial strains; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Results showed that extracts of the different parts of both species revealed inhibitory activity against all the tested strains with lower MICs exhibited by R. officinalis. P. aeruginosa was shown to be the most sensitive bacteria to N. oleander extracts and S. aureus the most resistant to them. However, E. coli was relatively the most resistant bacteria to R. officinalis extracts whereas B. cereus was the most sensitive to them. It should be noted that Gram-positive bacteria were the most sensitive to R. officinalis extracts while Gram-negative bacteria were more sensitive to N. oleander extracts. Taking all together, both plant species proved to be effective antibacterial agents and consequently, they may constitute a potential natural resource for new substances with antibacterial activity as alternative of the usual drugs to avoid microbial resistance.

Arabian Gulf region considered one of the most areas vulnerable to the negative effects of fluctuations climatic and tsunami in urban, environmental and economic areas, costal relief operate to reduce these impacts, costal relief for Bahrain characterized by existence coastal plains, low-rise and along to the coast find some of Dohat, bays and meandering which are considered as factors helping the flow of tidal waves and tsunamis. The urban, industrial and petroleum areas and water desalination stations, these areas spread along the coast plain lacking of the physical manifestations of the resistance to the flow of tidal waves and tsunamis, which could lead to catastrophic events on infrastructure, construction and petroleum in case the flow of the waves high or tsunami tidal mid-rise, leading to instability in the region on a large scale. It was found that about a quarter of Bahrain will be affected by tidal waves and tsunami medium height (5 m), especially in the north-western parts of the island of Bahrain and the islands of Muharraq and Sitra. We have accomplished morphological maps that illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the coastal relief of Bahrain in the face of the flow of tidal waves and tsunamis.
Phosphorus Speciation in the Coastal Sediments of Khawr Ash Shaibah Al- Masdudah: Coastal Lagoon in the Eastern Red Sea, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Farawati Radwan , El Sayed Mohamed , Shaban Yaser , El-Maradney Amru , Orif Mohammed
Published: June 2022

The total phosphorus concentrations and its speciation were studied in the surface sediment of Khawr ash Shaibah al Maftuhah. The distribution pattern of total phosphorus in the sediment showed east-west gradient indicating different depositional environment of the lagoon. The largest pool of the sedimentary phosphorus was apatitic phosphorus (57%) followed by refractory organic phosphorus (42%). The impact of loosely adsorbed and exchangeable phosphorus (0.9 % of total phosphorus) and Metal oxide Phosphorus (0.6 % of total phosphorus) on the budget of total phosphorus in the sediments was minor. The concentration of dissolved phosphorus in the upper water column is most probably buffered by apatitic phosphorus. The low concentration of metal oxide phosphorus is suggested to be influenced by the calcareous nature of the lagoon. Possible transformation between apatitic and refractory organic phosphorus is inferred from the correlation of both parameters. The correlation of refractory organic carbon with total phosphorus in the sediments suggests in situ production due to biological activities.

Published: June 2022

Flowering phenology, ecology and stand characteristics of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. were described in response to rainfall and temperature at a plantation site in Northwestern province of Homs, Syria. Flowering observations were carried out for one year on a bi-monthly basis as time of flowering, duration and intensity were recorded. Analysis of 30-year rainfall and temperature revealed that the area has a typical Mediterranean climate of cool thermal variant. The area experiences a decreasing trend in rainfall with a recurrent 6- months climatic drought. Trees registered 9.6 m in heights and 18.4 cm in diameter at 29 years of age. Trees started to set flower buds in the first week of June where cumulative annual rainfall (CAR) and mean temperature were 391 mm and 24.2ºC, respectively. Flowering occurred in two periods with varying percentages of flowering trees in each. Autumn flowering started in the first week of November and extended for 107 days. On the other hand, Spring flowering commenced in the first week of April and continued for 92 days. A significant negative relationship (r = -0.39) was observed between the percentage of flowering trees and average monthly rainfall. However, a weak but positive correlation (r = 0.33) existed between the percentage of flowering trees and average monthly temperature. The percentage of flowering trees were higher in dry months compared to wet months because of low temperature associated with wet period. Flowering intensity was ranked 0.7 in December and 3.3 in June. Fruit setting started in the onset of January and mid June for Autumn and Spring flowers, respectively. Knowing timing and duration of flowering contribute significantly towards understanding the species biology, managing associated fauna and rearing of honey bees in the area.

Несмотря на очевидный прогресс в медицине и бурное развитие фармакологии, железодефицитная анемия в XXI веке стала одной из неинфекционных пандемий. А латентный дефицит железа – сидеропения, по оценкам ВОЗ, сегодня имеется у каждого второго-третьего человека на Земле. Причем последствия дефицита железа и осложнения этого состояния испытывают люди всех возрастных категорий и социальных групп, эта проблема уже давно не ассоциируется с низким социальным статусом и недостаточным статусом питания, являясь своего рода парадоксом цивилизации. Столь широким распространением железодефицитных состояний у современных людей во многом объясняется беспрецедентный масштаб пандемии COVID-19, многообразие клинических форм, осложнений и последствий инфекции, поскольку железо является незаменимым элементом для функционирования иммунной системы – главной защитницы организма от внешних и внутренних врагов. Настоящая статья дает новые, расширенные представления о роли железа как одного из иммуномодулирующих факторов (и тем самым – новый вектор для применения железа в профилактике и лечении иммунодефицитных состояний). В данной статье описаны группы риска по развитию дефицита железа, рассказывается о современных критериях его диагностики и раскрывается потенциал уникального соединения двухвалентного железа – ферроцерона, являющегося оптимальным для восстановления и поддержания иммунитета в современных реалиях.

Published: June 2022

O presente artigo tem por escopo o estudo das medidas adotadas pelo Poder Judiciário para a garantia de acesso à justiça em tempo de pandemia através de meios tecnológicos e hiperoralidade. Aqui longe de buscar o esgotamento do tema, se buscou analisar a efetividade do meios empregados pelo Judiciário no período pandêmico sob o aspecto qualitativo, uma vez que os números divulgados pelo CNJ e STJ revelam a distorção na ideia de acesso à justiça, uma vez que se presa com muito mais ênfase o aspecto quantitativo, isto é, a quantidade de demandas protocolizadas vs. demandas julgadas. O tema é revertido de tamanha atualidade e evidente relevância social, em vista dos impactos ocasionados pela pandemia na sociedade, inclusive no tocante à garantia constitucional de acesso à justiça através do princípio da inafastabilidade do controle jurisdicional. Objetivou-se, portanto, apresentar como se dá o acesso à justiça no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, para comparar com os meios adotados pelo Judiciário para a manutenção de tal direito em período pandêmico com um período de normalidade social. Trata-se, pois, de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo, com método de análise dedutivo, afim de analisar as adaptações feitas pelo Judiciário para garantir o acesso da população à justiça, balizado pelos entendimentos doutrinários: CAPPELLETTI (1988), LEITE (2021), GARCIA (2021), dentro outros, além da análise de Leis, Decretos e Normas Gerais.

In the globalizing world, the students' proficiency to convey the knowledge, skills, and behaviour they have acquired in-school education process to their social lives has a vital importance. Because; as well as accessing information, having developed skill for using the information and solving problem is one of the essential factors in the realization of the purpose of raising effective individuals too. In this context, the aim is to evaluate the proficiency of the students’ knowledge, skill, and behaviour based on natural disaster scenarios in the framework of the case study. The sample consists of 6th and 7th grade students selected by the convenience sampling method. The total number of students is 32. The data was collected with five open-ended questions through online applications. Also, descriptive analysis was used in a holistic manner. Theoretically, it was determined that the great majority of the students had sufficient knowledge, skill, and behaviour to deal with possible disasters and the ability to distinguish cases from each other. However, they had difficulties in interpreting the events by establishing a cause-effect relationship and basing the occurrence of disasters on a scientific basis. According to results; with the addition of scenario-based practical applications to the course process, the students can analyse events with a more realistic perspective by establishing cause-effect relationships between events. In addition, it’s recommended that not only disaster definitions should be presented in textbooks but also various case study scenarios should be added to them.

Published: June 2022

Finding the cause of acne is a key aspect to improve skin appearance and eliminating the problem completely. Due to the multitude of origins and their coexistence, acne treatment is in most cases long-lasting and cannot be limited to one action. Increasing importance in the occurrence and course of acne vulgaris is paid to the high glycemic index of consumed food and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). IGF-1 receptors are located on keratinocytes and in acne patients their elevated expression in the epidermis and sebaceous glands is noticed. High levels of IGF-1 are observed in adolescents, as well as in adult women struggling with late acne affecting people over 30 (Acne tarda). It is suspected that it is not androgens, but IGF-1, that is the key element in the appearance and course of Acne vulgaris.

Authors: O. Ihnatiev
Published: June 2022

The information mechanism of public management of monitoring of condition of potentially dangerous objects is analyzed. It is determined that today there are problems with the functioning of the modern Unified State Civil Protection System, namely: problems with the functioning of the Unified Information Environment for the prompt supply of data to monitor the condition of potentially dangerous objects; incomplete creation of the Government information and analytical system on emergency situations; only partial automation of the processes related to the organization of the dialogue "dispatcher - applicant" in the regulation of the passage of information in the system of emergency assistance to the population on a single telephone number 112.
For Ukraine, the full integration of the subjects of national monitoring into a single system, the development of a single methodology for collecting, accumulating and transmitting monitoring information remains a problem. Therefore, the legislation defines tasks only for the national system of monitoring and control through the collection, processing and transmission of information on the state of the environment, contamination of food, food raw materials, feed, water with radioactive, chemicals, microorganisms and other biological agents.
Primary Intraocular Lymphoma: Case Reports and a Review
Authors: Kim Hyo Sin , Park Hye Yeon , Park Young Gun , Kim Minhee
Published: June 2022

Primary intraocular lymphoma is a lymphoma that occurs in the eye, and is a subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma that occurs in the brain, spinal cord, and meninges. It is composed of diffuse large B cell type. The pathophysiology and cause are not known exactly, and future research is needed. However, viral infection is thought to be the cause in immunocompromised patients. Diagnostic methods include fluorescein angiography, retinal tomography, and ocular magnetic resonance imaging. The main diagnostic method is cytopathology, but due to its false-negative rates the interleukin (IL)-10 cytokine, known as a growth factor for malignant B-lymphocytes in primary intraocular lymphoma, can be helpful in diagnosis. In the case of primary intraocular lymphoma, intravitreal methotrexate injection can be performed. Ratio of IL-10/IL-6 is greater than 1 before treatment and decreases to less than 1 after treatment. Although the prognosis is poor, it is expected to increase the survival rate through research on diagnostic methods and intraocular injection treatment combined with systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Authors: Park Yooyeon , Nam Gahee , Park Shin Hae
Published: June 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of spot vision screener in detecting refractive errors as amblyogenic risk factor in preschool Korean children.Methods: This prospective study included 51 children aged between 3 to 6 who underwent complete ophthalmologic evaluation including measurement of refraction using SpotTM Vision Screener (VS100S-2, Welch Allyn Inc., Skaneateles Falls, NY; version 3.0.02.32) and an autorefractometer before and after cycloplegia. The sensitivity and specificity of Spot photoscreening for the detection of amblyogenic risk factors were calculated. We compared the outcome measures of refractive error using spot vision screener and the autorefractometer of non-cycloplegics and cycloplegics.Results: For detection of amblyogenic risk factor by refractive errors, spot vision screener had 90.5% sensitivity, 44.4% specificity, 88.4% positive predictive value and 50.0% negative predictive value. There was a significant difference between non-cycloplegic photoscreening and cycloplegic autorefraction (mean +0.86 diopter [D], p < 0.001), which was more prominent in hyperopic eyes (+2.71 ± 1.17 vs. +5.00 ± 1.39 D, p < 0.001) compared with myopic eyes (-2.51 ± 1.41 D vs. -2.58 ± 1.32 D, p = 0.599).Conclusions: Spot vision screener can help to detect vision issues quickly and easily in young children. Spot vision screener achieved acceptable sensitivity and positive predictive value in Korean preschool aged children, supporting the use of automated vision screening.
Isolated Unilateral Ptosis Caused by Orbital Myositis Involving the Superior Rectus-Levator Muscle
Authors: Kim Woonghee , Jung Eun Hye
Published: June 2022

Purpose: To present a case of orbital myositis involving the levator palpebrae superioris/superior rectus muscle (LPS/SR) complex with isolated unilateral ptosis and preserved extraocular muscle function and to review of the literature.Case summary: A healthy, 54-year old man presented with acute right upper ptosis detected 3 hours before. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. His margin-reflex distance 1 was -2 mm and +4 mm, and levator function was 11 mm and 14 mm in the right and left eyes respectively. There was no proptosis. He had full extraocular motility with no strabismus, and normal pupillary function. There was no improvement in ptosis with the ice test and 0.5% apraclonidine test. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated thickening and enhancement of right LPS/SR complex. Consequently, we diagnosed him with orbital myositis involving the LPS/SR complex. We started treatment with corticosteroid and ptosis completely resolved after 1 month since onset.Conclusions: We report a case of orbital myositis who showed inflammation of the LPS/SR complex early in the disease course and allowed the preservation of normal SR function. Inflammation of the LPS/SR complex might affect the function of these muscles differently due to the differences in muscle mechanics. Although orbital myositis involving LPS/SR complex is rare, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with acute unilateral ptosis.

Published: June 2022

Dünya çapında önemli bir doğal afet türü olarak kabul edilen heyelan, kentleşmeye zarar vermesi, tarım ve orman alanlarını tahrip etmesi, nehirler ve suları kirletmesi gibi maddi olumsuzluklarının yanı sıra can kaybına neden olarak üzücü sonuçlar doğuran bir felakettir. Bu nedenle heyelan alanlarında can ve mal kaybına sebep olan kütle hareketlerini tespit etmek hayati önem taşımaktadır. Günümüzde yersel ölçümler, uzaktan algılama ve fotogrametrik ölçümler gibi birçok yöntem ile heyelan, buzul, kumul ve deprem alanlarında meydana gelen kütle hareketleri belirlenebilir. Yüzey deformasyon analizleri fotogrametri ve uzaktan algılama teknikleri ile yapılabildiği gibi yerinde ölçüm ve arazi gözlem teknikleri ile de yapılabilir. Her tekniğin kendi avantajı ve sınırlaması vardır. Her ne kadar yersel ölçüm yöntemlerinde (jeofizik etüt, kazı yapma, tektonik ve jeomorfolojik özelliklerin araştırılması) yüzey deformasyonları doğru bir şekilde belirlense de bütünsel bir görünüm elde etmek oldukça yoğun emek ve zaman gerektirir. Uzaktan algılama yöntemleri ise hız ve maliyet gibi birçok açıdan oldukça kolaylıklar sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, çok yüksek çözünürlüklü optik uydu görüntüleri ve optik olarak algılanan görüntülerin korelasyonu yöntemi (COSI Corr) ile heyelan alanlarında meydana gelen yavaş kütle hareketleri analiz edilmiştir. Bunun sonucunda, heyelan bakımından riskli olan yerleşim alanlarında gerekli önlemlerin alınmasına yönelik çeşitli öneriler ortaya konulmuştur.

Günümüz dünyasında haritacılık artık kâğıt çıktılardan daha çok sayısal halde çevrimiçi olarak kullanıcılara sunulmaktadır. Bu da haritaları son ürün olmaktan daha çok farklı mesleki disiplinler için altlık oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda 3 boyutlu modellerin hızlı ve daha ucuz şekilde oluşturulması oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışma kapsamında nokta bulutu üretiminde sayısal tek mercek yansımalı (Digital single lens reflex-DSLR) fotoğraf makinesi (Canon EOS 1200D) ile cep telefonu kamerası (Samsung S6) karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanı olarak yüksek eğimli toprak şev bir arazi seçilmiştir. Bu kapsamda 4 farklı model üretilmiştir ve bu modeller hem yer kontrol noktalarıyla hem de robotik total station ile üretilmiş nokta bulutu ile test edilmiştir. Fotoğraf makinesi ile üretilmiş modellerde daha yoğun nokta bulutları elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca modeller için Karesel Ortalama Hata (KOH) hesabı gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu testlerin sonucunda en düşük KOH değeri fotoğraf makinesi ile oluşturulan Model 1 için X, Y ve Z’de sırasıyla ±2.11 mm, ±1.78 mm, ±1.00 mm olarak; en düşük KOH değeri cep telefonu ile oluşturulan Model 3 için X, Y ve Z’de sırasıyla ±22.90 mm, ±33.18 mm, ±18.53 mm olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre cep telefonu kamerası ile elde edilen modeller daha kötü sonuçlar verse de maliyet açısından düşünüldüğünde çalışmalarda cep telefonu kameraları da tercih edilebilir.

The government's recent two percent remittance incentive has attracted the attention of remitters and policymakers in Bangladesh. The purpose of this inward remittance incentive policy is to encourage remitters to send money in a legal manner. This will minimize illegal money transfers from overseas, and the government will be able to grow the reserve. The goal of this research is to investigate if the policy has had any recent impact on remitters and if there has been any change in money flow from overseas to Bangladesh through legal channels. We investigated using Bangladesh Bank remittance data and discovered a significant increase in the Bangladesh remittance flow in FY 2020-2021. In correlation matrix analysis using Pearson product correlation matrix this study has found Bangladesh's reserve and remittances are more closely linked than those of Bhutan, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, following Nepal and India. However, the Pearson product correlation value for Pakistan and Sri Lanka was determined to be statistically insignificant.
Taura Here: A contextual review of knowledge related to the study, Tangohia mai te taura: Take this rope
Authors: Williams Toiroa
Published: June 2022

It is generally accepted practice that research writing should include a review of literature that serves to locate the study within the field of inquiry. However, in indigenous research, the over reliance on published literature as a repository of knowledge can be problematic. By considering the Māori, doctoral thesis: ‘Tangohia mai te aura’ (Take this rope), this article argues that a review of written material must be extended to embrace non-written forms of knowledge including indigenous documentary making that challenges sanctioned historical narratives, and the oral repositories of experience that exist in indigenous waiata (songs), oriori (chants), karakia (prayers) and pūrākau (storytelling). As an extension of this, indigenous inquiry that seeks to exhume lived experiences of injustice must also frame the genealogically connected, orally accounted experiences of communities, as valued repositories of knowledge.

A luz pode ser empregada como fator estimulante ao enraizamento, desde que, em uma qualidade de luz adequada. A utilização de telas fotosseletoras podem ser empregadas para tornar o enraizamento mais eficiente, para avaliar esse fator, foram utilizadas estacas herbáceas de goiabeira “Paluma”, expostas a diferentes comprimentos de onda em mini estufas cobertas com celofane das cores: verde, amarelo, vermelho, azul, transparente e laranja, e submetidas a cinco tratamentos com AIB (0, 1000, 2000,  3000 e 4000 mg.kg-1), cultivadas em substrato na proporção de 3:2:1 (areia:terra:bioplant®), em um delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, com fatorial de 6x5 e quatro repetições com 10 estacas em cada tratamento. Noventa dias após o estaqueamento foram avaliadas as variáveis: sobrevivência das estacas, número de folhas; número de brotos; comprimento do maior broto; comprimento da raiz; volume de raízes; massa verde das folhas e da raiz; massa seca da parte aérea e da raiz. Os espectros de luz nas cores laranja e vermelho apresentaram-se superiores no enraizamento das estacas de goiabeira. A utilização do AIB neutralizou a influência luminosa dos espectros de luz com resultados não significativos para a interação.
