Use of Internet for Practice of Self-Medication
Authors: Agarwal Tanishq , Agarwal Vrinda , Agarwal Pawan , Sharma Dhananjaya
Published: January 2021

Background:

Internet has become the major source of health-related information, leading to a growing trend toward unsupervised self-medication using internet. This survey was conducted to assess the extent of internet use to obtain health information/self-medication, their perception regarding side effects of drug used, types/quality of information, and which site was commonly surfed for information.

Materials and Methods:

A web-based tool (Google Forms) was used to develop a questionnaire to obtain information about extent and impact of internet on self-medication by general population. The questionnaire included 9 questions along with demographic details of participants. The questionnaire was sent to participants by WhatsApp and E-mail and their responses were analyzed.

Results:

Four hundred and forty-eight (56%) persons responded to survey. There were 226 (50.4%) males and 222 (49.6%) females. The average age of responders was 35.10 years. Overall, 59.8% of responders used internet to obtain health information and self-medication. Out of these, 54.47% took allopathic medications without consulting the doctors. The majority of persons self-medicated for minor illnesses, but 11.6% of persons self-diagnosed and self-medicated for serious illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and psychological problems. 23.2% of peoples think that information on internet carries no risk for self-medication and 21% think that internet use can be a substitute for consulting a doctor. Google was the most common site (93.8%) surfed by participants. The health information provided on net was perceived as very good by 43.7%.

Conclusions:

There are growing trends toward the self-medication using internet. The health information on internet should be made easier, simpler, and safer to achieve positive health outcomes, but patients should be discouraged for self-medication. To support the safe and appropriate use of nonprescription medicines, minimum practice standards should be set by the governing medical bodies in each country.

Unusual way of Securing the Airway Using Gastroscope and Cystoscope as an Alternative to Fiberoptic Intubation
Authors: Rajmohan Nisha , Nelson Felix , Upadhyay Surjaya
Published: January 2021

Difficult airway still is one of the dreaded crises in anesthesia. A well-formulated plan with all the necessary equipment should be ready when such situations are anticipated, but unanticipated difficulties can arise, and managing such cases is a nightmare for the anesthesiologist. Most hospitals in the developing countries are not equipped technically with all the modern equipment and gadgets as far as anesthesia is concerned. In a resource-constrained area, the skill and innovative ideas of the anesthesiologist often emerge as an alternative option in dealing with such cases. Here, we describe two cases of difficult intubation by conventional approach, which were managed successfully using a pediatric gastroscope and a flexible cystoscope as an alternative to fiberoptic bronchoscope.

Published: January 2021

The interception of rainwater in annual and perennial agriculture has been the object of several studies in the last decades. However, scant attention has been paid to where this research has taken place and which principal crops have been studied. The objective of this research is to perform a bibliometric analysis of one hundred articles from the last forty years found in the Scopus database to analyze their spatial distribution according to continent and country and quantify the research carried out on annual and perennial crops. Also, the main methods used to investigate the stemflow and throughfall of water in commercial crops are described. Our analysis indicates that the northern hemisphere has the most research on the subject and 35% of the research took place in Asia. Most of the research into annual crops (56%) was carried out in maize (Zea mays L.). There has been a significant increase in commercial (annual) agricultural research in the last decade. The stemflow had the most amplitude between the values in the annual crops. This may be related to morphological and ecophysiological changes throughout the plant cycle. For perennial crops, stemflow values were like forests. It has become more important than ever to consider a scenario of global climate change stemflow and throughfall research in agricultural areas, or at least the data need to be revised in the face of new climatic conditions.

Published: January 2021

Several factors can lead to alterations of water quality in aquatic environments, leading to numerous consequences for the organisms that inhabit it. The water bodies located in the northwest region of Rio Grande do Sul periodically receive pollutants that may have genotoxic, cytotoxic and mutagenic properties, which affect the genetic integrity of organisms living there. This research analyzed the cytological responses of Danio rerio exposed to anthropized fresh water from the Ijuí River by the micronucleus method as well as by observing nuclear abnormalities in their erythrocytes. The data collected demonstrated higher values of erythrocytes with NA than with MN, suggesting that the cells are efficient in the repair mechanisms required when facing genotoxic substances.

Authors: Adomako J. , Danso Y. , Sakyiamah B. , Kankam F. , Osei K.
Published: January 2021

A survey was conducted in nine major sweet potato producing districts across the semi-deciduous forest and coastal savannah zones of Ghana to determine the prevalence of plant-parasitic nematodes parasitizing the crop. Soil samples were collected at 90-days after planting from the rhizosphere of sweet potato crop and analysed using Modified Baermann tray method from 100 farms across the study area. Seven plant-parasitic nematode genera were extracted from soil samples collected and morphologically identified under a microscope with four of them, namely Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, and Helicotylenchus being the most prevalent. Scutellonema sp. occurred in 89% while Tylenchus sp. occurred in 33% of the districts sampled. The ring nematode, Criconemella sp. was found in only two of the nine districts covered; Ketu North and Akatsi South which incidentally recorded 100% of the seven nematodes encountered in the survey. The abundant nematode was Meloidogyne sp. which represented 39% and Criconemella, the least (0.1%) of the total nematodes recovered in the survey. This study has shown that high diversity, incidence and density of economically important plant-parasitic nematodes are associated with sweet potato crop. Development of appropriate management strategies to mitigate the negative effects of plant-parasitic nematodes on sweet potato is recommended.

Published: January 2021

A survey was conducted to assess the quality of groundnut seed produced and stored under ambient environment across various agro-ecologies of The Gambia, with a view to understanding regions with comparative advantage for its production and storage. Seed production activities of 60 seed growers in 26 communities were collected using structured questionnaires, interviews and observations. The Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the communities were geo-referenced to identify the geographical positioning of the production sites. Samples of the groundnut pods were taken from the seed stores, threshed and subjected to seed quality analysis. Descriptive analysis was used to categorize the seed sources, hectarage cultivated, while seed quality data were subjected to analysis of variance of Nested Design. Means of significant factors were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significant level. The study showed that groundnut seed production is better concentrated in regions with optimum and sustainable rainfall that will reduce abiotic stress during seed development like the Lower River Region, West Coast Region and Central River Region. Fleur-11 variety was identified as one of the most promising varieties for groundnut cultivation in The Gambia and Tropical Africa.
L'esperança de vida lliure de malaltia no augmenta a Espanya
Authors: Zueras Pilar , Rentería Elisenda
Published: January 2021

La COVID-19 ha suposat una aturada en la contínua progressió de l’esperança de vida en néixer, que a Espanya es situava entre les més altes del món. Malgrat que el seu efecte depressiu sigui conjuntural, ja que s’espera que millori de forma ràpida els propers anys, ens ha fet reflexionar sobre l’evolució prèvia a la pandèmia. És cert que l’augment dels anys de vida ha estat progressiu i continuat, però en els darrers anys aquests guanys no s’han traduït en millores a la salut entre la població gran. Tot i que l’esperança de vida lliure de discapacitats als 65 anys ha estat molt estable en el temps, els resultats són menys encoratjadors quan es considera la presència de malalties i condicions cròniques. En aquest número del Perspectives Demogràfiques investiguem si s’han guanyat o perdut anys de vida lliures de malalties a l’edat de 65 anys entre el anys 2006, 2012 i 2017 pels homes i dones a Espanya i per comunitats autònomes (CCAA). Els resultats indiquen que, malgrat l’augment en anys d’esperança de vida, també augmenta el temps que les persones viurem amb malalties diagnosticades si no es reverteix la tendència actual. Entre les malalties i condicions més freqüents hi ha la hipertensió, el mal d’esquena crònic, la diabetis i les malalties del cor. Les diferències entre homes i dones tendeixen a convergir en anys de vida passats en bona salut com a conseqüència, principalment, de l’allargament dels anys de vida viscuts en mala salut entre els homes.

Como é envelhecer no século XXI, em que coexistem o aumento populacional, a mundialização socioeconômica, avanço tecnológico, política internacional, expansão citadina e significativas alterações no meio ambiente? E o ser humano está pensando o envelhecimento? Uns, sim; outros, não. Esta temática foi pensada para estabelecer uma conexão entre as várias áreas do conhecimento e dialogar sobre as políticas sociais e públicas voltadas para a saúde. O cuidar que implica numa relação para além do trabalho, da profissão e da vocação; a ética que está diretamente relacionada com os valores, os deveres e os direitos das relações humanas e sociais; a pesquisa científica, criteriosa, com metodologias próprias e diversas que observa, reflete, analisa e propõe sugestões, soluções para várias questões que circundam as pessoas, em medir sua qualidade de vida, e, consequentemente, perceber como está se processando a longevidade. Em cada época histórica, o envelhecimento é diferente por diversos aspectos, principalmente pelo tempo e pelo espaço. As culturas são diversas, mas a civilização caminha para espaços de solidariedade e generosidade, peculiares da maturidade do indivíduo e do pertencer a um mundo plural, diverso, onde coexistem gerações, gênero, sexo, idade, cor, raça, etnia, dentre outras variáveis. Pensando em contextualizar o Envelhecimento na perspectiva da saúde, com contributos da Educação Física, Nutrição, da Fisioterapia, da Enfermagem, da Medicina, da Biomedicina, da Psicologia, da Gerontologia, dentre as outras áreas que integram as Ciências da Saúde, quer seja individual, coletiva ou pública; cujas pesquisas evoluem e prestam um significativo servir à Humanidade. E qual a intervenção do Estado para apoiar e contribuir de forma efetiva através de políticas públicas que ampliem o alcance delas para todos os cidadãos? Quais as Políticas Sociais que realizam verdadeiras intervenções a fim de beneficiar um maior número de pessoas, cuidando e educando para uma saúde de qualidade, que garantam um envelhecimento saudável e ativo? Tudo isso foi discutido e apresentado no VI CONGRESSO INTERNACIONAL DE ENVELHECIMENTO HUMANO, que ocorreu na simpática cidade de Campina Grande, no Estado da Paraíba, no país, que envelhece, chamado Brasil. Por isso convido-os a uma vasta e proveitosa leitura neste livro digital. Envelhecer com Saúde!

Marginalizacija siromašnih žena predstavlja utiranje puta ka njihovoj kriminalizaciji koja se u novoj neoliberalnoj penologiji ispoljava kao percepcija povećenog rizika od kriminala koji se pripisuje siromašnim, neobrazovanim, ne belim i socijalno isključenim ženama. Ukrštanje klasne, rodne i krivičnopravne nejednakosti otvara pitanja socijalne pravde i mogućnosti njenog dostizanja kada su u pitanju marginalizovane žene. Kritička analiza društvene prakse koja pogoduje kriminalizaciji marginalizovanih žena treba da pođe od dekonstrukcije neoliberalnih diskursa i socijalne dekontekstualizacije kojoj oni teže. U tom smislu, otvorene i skrivene prakse diskriminacije, deprofesionalizacije, dehumanizacije, stigmatizacije, isključivanja i konačno kriminalizacije marginalizovanih žena treba otkrivati u činjenicama sumorne stvarnosti u kojoj te žene žive, pre, za vreme i nakon ulaska u kriminal ili njegovog sankcionisanja.

THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS IN ASIA
Authors: Ahmed Sakir , Pinto Benzeeta
Published: January 2021

Peer reviewers are the custodians of sciences and scientific publishing. Previously regarded as a purely altruistic work, with the advent of Publons and Peer Review Week initiatives, reviewers can now get scholarly credits for their accomplishments. The number of skilled peer reviewers is limited. The sheer volume of published literature in today’s world calls for active involvement of a large corpus of reviewers. Asia has a growing workforce of biomedical researchers and scientific authors who are inadequately exposed to the global research reporting and English writing standards. Several global initiatives are underway to groom the next generation of peer reviewers and credit them for their efforts. These need to be expanded and made more accessible to scholars in Asia. Ultimately, this untapped potential may provide quality services to international peer-reviewed journals and create informed researchers and skilled authors.

Authors: Gaur Prithvi Sanjeevkumar , Gupta Latika
Published: January 2021

Social Media Platforms (SMPs) have emerged as the new frontiers for academic engagement, more so during the pandemic. Cultural barriers, close censorship, and language restrictions may limit the participation of Central Asian scholars in the global scientific communication. This article explores the patterns of Social Media (SoMe) use in Central Asia and outlines probable deterrents of academic engagement in the region. Some suggestions are formulated to offer digital and socio-cultural solutions aimed to improve Central Asian scholars’ activities on SoMe platforms and bridge the divide for fruitful academic partnerships.

Obesity represents a risk factor for the emergence of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as Diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Adequate monitoring of blood glucose and lipid profile has been shown to be protective factors for the onset of these diseases. Some preparations based on carbohydrates are part of the culture of the northeast region of Brazil and, depending on how they are consumed, they can trigger different responses to the organism. This study evaluated the glycemic response and the concentration of some plasma fats after intake of preparations with added fibers and/or proteins. The BMI of the participants was calculated and the informed consent form and the FFQ were completed. Blood sampling was performed before food tasting. One hour after food intake, the blood collection procedure was repeated. It was found that, in the preparations with addition of fibers and/or proteins, there was less glycemic response in comparison to the food consumed alone; moreover, there were changes in the lipid profile. Thus, considering the addition of fibers and proteins to these preparations can be an interesting strategy for nutritional management

Published: January 2021

For the year 2017, renewable energy in the world through photovoltaic systems constitutes around 21% of the total energy generated through renewable sources. In this work, the impact represented by the proposal of a photovoltaic system connected to the grid in terms of reducing losses was analyzed. In the study, the calculation tools PVSyst and DIgSILENT PowerFactory were used to determine the power generation of the photovoltaic installation. Using the Radial 7.7 tool, the power losses were determined. The energy losses of the line were determined using empirical equations developed in the literature discussed. The commissioning of the installation represents a saving of 397 MWh/year. The impact that the installation represents on the grid is represented by a decrease in electrical energy losses and not in the decrease in power losses.
SECOND ORDER ILLATA AND PATTERN ONTOLOGY
Authors: Golovko Nikita
Published: January 2021

Second order illata were introduced into the theory in order to explain the possibility of the development of a structurally unique theory (R. David) by analogy with the traditional ideas about the underdetermination of the theory by data. The ontology of patterns (D. Dennett, J. Ladymen) changes the usual «non-systematic» view of the ontology of science, that allows to deny the necessity of the second order illata and to present the development of the structurally unique theory in a more traditional way, but already within the framework of an «interpretative» approach of understanding ontology.

A Question of Dignity-A Comparative and Historical Study of Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' and Kalyan Rao's 'Untouchable Spring'
Authors: Chakravertty Neeru
Published: January 2021

Abstract: Chinua Achebe and Kalyan Rao, the Nigerian and the Telugu Dalit writers, authors of two groundbreaking novels, Things Fall Apart and Untouchable Spring, belong to two different socio-cultural traditions and historical contexts. Both are the products and chroniclers of societies that faced oppression and exploitation as well as literary misrepresentation. The individual identity, humanity and dignity of their people was negated through stereotypical and superficial portrayals in popular imagination and dominant discourses. Both writers seek to restore the dignity and self-respect of their communities through the two novels that interrogate negative and inauthentic representations and provide challenging, alternative perspectives. They are simultaneous narratives of protest and assertion and choose similar narrative thrust points to achieve their objectives.
Emerging Female Voices and Child Marriage Reforms in Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Sharma Manish
Published: January 2021

Age long custom of Child Marriage could not be challenged in nineteenth century because neither reformer did have shastric evidences nor organized female voice opposed it, except sporadic cases.  The main argument of this paper is that the first half of Twentieth century witnessed active participation of organized women of India, which raised their questions themselves and determined the enactment of the Child Marriage Restraint Act in 1929.  Simultaneously, this paper also aims to contradict an idea that towards the end of Nineteenth century women’s question was disappeared from agenda of public debates. I have used Government of India official papers, journals, contemporary books both in Hindi and English.
Discovering the City and its Environs Ramji Das and his Tareekh-o Aasar-e Dehli
Authors: Chenoy Shama Mitra
Published: January 2021

In 1854, Ramji Das, a retired officer from the Collectorate of Delhi penned a small, wonderful work, at the behest of Colonel Hamilton, called Tareekh-o Aasar-e Dehli, introducing to us several typologies of structures focussed partially on the city and the rest in its environs, including villages. He used the structures to highlight three to four important issues. The names of the builders, the purpose of the structures, their present state and the colloquialisms, anecdotes and popular cultures associated with them. The underlying theme of all structures was that they were for the benefit of large numbers of people. The author of this book apprised the readers of the newly created administrative divisions in the geographical region of Delhi. Ramji Das’s work was contemporaneous with Saiyid Ahmad Khan’s second edited version of Asar-us Sanadid, yet it has a relevance, importance and uniqueness of its own. Only one manuscript copy has been located recently, that too after nearly 165 years and it is now a published text in Urdu.
