Authors: Anand Ankit , Singh Karanvir , Mehta Samarth , Singh Karanveer
Published: September 2024

Background: Neurological involvement in HIV/AIDS accounts for significant degree of morbidity in a high percentage
of people which as per some studies account for 5% to 15% of hospitalizations in PLWHA.[1] A clinical spectrum different
from Western countries is expected in India,in view of different socioeconomic,cultural and demographic factors. Aims
and Objectives: To study the clinical profile of central nervous system opportunistic infections in PLWHA. Materials
and Methods: Study setting – Inpatient Department of Medicine of a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur,Rajasthan between
July 2022 to February 2024;clinical profile of 64 patients admitted with neurological symptoms and/or signs associated
with HIV/AIDS were studied.Results:Mean age 32.89 ± 9.21 years (range 18-61 years) and median age of our patients
was 32.5 years. Subjects in our study were 42.18 % males and 57.81 % females. 34 patients in our study had CNS
tuberculosis, 11 patients had CNS toxoplasmosis, 14 patients had Cryptococcal meningitis, and 5 patients had
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Headache was the most common presenting symptom. Four patients
(three tuberculous meningitis and one cryptococcal meningitis) were lost to follow up after discharge. Total of 15
patients expired in our study. Mortality rate were as follows: CNS tuberculosis 19.3%, CNS toxoplasmosis 18.1%,
Cryptococcal meningitis 38.4%,Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy 40%.Mean CD4 count of expired patients
was 46.33 ± 30 cells per mm3 while mean CD4 count of all patients included in our study was 105.93 ± 77.17 cells per
mm3. Conclusions: 1) Predominantly young adults between age group of 21 to 40 years are affected by central nervous
system opportunistic infections in HIV patients. 2) Tuberculosis is the most common central nervous system
opportunistic infection in our study. 3) Disseminated tuberculosis in people living with HIV/AIDS have poor mortality
outcome when compared to patients with CNS tuberculosis. 4) CNS toxoplasma and cryptococcal meningitis have
similar incidence in our study but prognosis differs. 5) Patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy had
the worst mortality rate. 6) Low CD4 count (< 50 cells per mm3) in the presence of any central nervous system
opportunistic infection in HIV patients is associated with high mortality rate.(p< .00001)

Os objetivos desta pesquisa consistem em avaliar a eficácia, a segurança e o custo das técnicas minimamente invasivas em comparação com os métodos tradicionais de revascularização miocárdica. Ademais, pretende-se identificar as potenciais vantagens e desvantagens de cada abordagem, por meio de uma análise abrangente fundamentada em evidências científicas robustas. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que tem como objetivo analisar o impacto das técnicas minimamente invasivas na revascularização miocárdica, comparando-as com os métodos tradicionais. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico, Scielo e PubMed, utilizando os descritores "Revascularização miocárdica", "Procedimentos Cirúrgicos Minimamente Invasivos", "Infarto" e "Complicações Intraoperatórias". Foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2020 e 2024, em português ou inglês, com acesso completo e pertinência direta ao tema. Excluíram-se teses, dissertações, artigos pagos ou incompletos e publicações fora do período estipulado.  A revisão revelou que as técnicas minimamente invasivas para revascularização miocárdica oferecem vantagens como menor tempo de recuperação, redução de complicações e hospitalizações mais curtas em comparação aos métodos tradicionais. No entanto, a eficácia a longo prazo ainda necessita de mais estudos. Apesar do custo inicial mais elevado, os benefícios econômicos podem compensar devido à menor necessidade de internação e tratamento de complicações. A escolha do método deve ser personalizada, considerando as características clínicas de cada paciente. Portanto, as técnicas minimamente invasivas para revascularização miocárdica demonstram benefícios significativos em termos de recuperação mais rápida, menor incidência de complicações e menor tempo de internação quando comparadas aos métodos tradicionais. Contudo, a necessidade de estudos de longo prazo permanece para validar a durabilidade e segurança desses procedimentos. Assim, a escolha entre as técnicas deve ser baseada no perfil clínico de cada paciente, visando otimizar os resultados e melhorar a qualidade de vida.

INTRODUÇÃO: O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) proporciona acesso universal e gratuito aos serviços de saúde para toda a população brasileira, contendo a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) como a primeira linha de contato entre o usuário e a assistência à saúde. A assistência de enfermagem na APS garante cuidados comunitários, incluindo consultas, gestão de equipes e educação em saúde. Durante a graduação de enfermagem os estudantes cumprem atividades teóricas e práticas que os prepara para as ações de prevenção, promoção, tratamento e reabilitação da saúde no contexto do SUS. Assim, o estágio supervisionado na APS promove aos acadêmicos uma vivência e formação profissional em saúde vinculada aos princípios e diretrizes SUS. OBJETIVOS: Descrever as perspectivas de acadêmicas de enfermagem durante um estágio supervisionado em unidades de saúde da família. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência, acerca da vivência de graduandas de enfermagem da Universidade de Pernambuco. A prática ocorreu de abril a julho de 2024 em Unidades de Saúde da Família do município do Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. RESULTADOS: Durante o estágio na APS, observou-se o papel fundamental do enfermeiro no acolhimento, educação e promoção da saúde dos usúarios, identificando no atendimento à saúde da mulher e da criança que sua responsabilidades vão além das atribuições técnicas, fornecendo orientações e acolhimento emocional ao binômio mãe-bebê. Notou-se, ainda, a baixa adesão dos homens aos serviços de saúde, reforçando a necessidade de ações de autocuidado para esse público. Ademais, nos grupos de apoio a hipertensos e diabéticos, bem como em dias de acolhimento, percebeu-se a importância do papel educativo do enfermeiro na adesão ao tratamento e promoção do bem-estar. CONCLUSÕES: Diante disso, ressalta-se os impactos positivos gerados no processo formativo em enfermagem através do estágio na ESF, aprimorando e direcionando a prática profissional com um olhar crítico e voltado às necessidades da população, de forma a assistí-la com base nos princípios e diretrizes do SUS.

Introdução: A síndrome clínica conhecida como pré-eclâmpsia é caracterizada por uma disfunção de endotélio materno, resultando em elevação da pressão arterial e diversos problemas nos órgãos vitais. Métodos: Consiste em uma revisão integrativa realizada através das bases Scopus, PubMed® e SciELO, utilizando os descritores doença de Chagas congênita, gravidez e tratamento. Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 14 anos, em idioma inglês, espanhol ou português, que abordassem a temática. Resultados e discussões: Embora o uso de sulfato de magnésio seja amplamente recomendado para a prevenção de convulsões na pré-eclâmpsia antes do parto, a sua aplicação no pós-parto permanece incerta, especialmente em pacientes sem sinais neurológicos. Adicionalmente, a avaliação e manejo do estado de volume em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia pós-parto são essenciais, considerando a alta incidência de complicações. A utilização de diuréticos, como a furosemida, demonstrou ser eficaz na redução da pressão arterial e na diminuição da necessidade de re-hospitalização. Conclusão: O manejo da pré-eclâmpsia pós-parto requer controle rápido da hipertensão grave, com medicamentos como labetalol e nifedipina, e o uso de sulfato de magnésio em casos com sinais neurológicos. A monitorização remota e o uso de diuréticos ajudam a prevenir complicações e re-hospitalizações.

Tesla as a Global Competitor: Strategic Control in the EV Transition
Authors:   Academic-Industry Research Network (theAIRnet.org), Hopkins Matt , Lazonick William ,   Academic-Industry Research Network (theAIRnet.org)
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we assess the implications of Elon Musk’s strategic control over Tesla, the pioneering company that has become central to the electric-vehicle transition. We document how, as Tesla’s CEO for 16 years, Musk has exercised strategic control to direct the transformation of the company from an uncertain startup to a global leader. Now that Tesla is profitable corporate predators (aka hedge-fund activists) may challenge Musk’s strategic control—a possibility of which the CEO is well aware. To retain his control over Tesla as a publicly listed company, Musk depends on holding a sufficient proportion of Tesla’s shares outstanding to possess the voting power to fend off predatory value extractors. In addition to accumulating Tesla shares by investing $291.2 million at early stages of the company’s evolution, Musk has relied upon massive stock-option grants from the Tesla board, under the guise of “compensation”, in 2009, 2012, and 2018, to boost his shareholding and, with it, his voting power. Hence the Delaware Court of Chancery’s decision in January 2024 to rescind Musk’s 2018 stock-option package—by far the largest ever granted to a corporate executive—poses a threat to Musk’s strategic control at Tesla. As the “Technoking” of Tesla strategizes to maintain his control over the company’s decision-making, anyone concerned with the role that Tesla will play in the evolving EV transition should be asking how CEO Musk might use, or abuse, his powerful position.

Authors: Josphat Kipkurui Mibei  , Dr. Vincent Shiundu
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of debt on the financial performance of tea companies in Kenya. The study was grounded on Static Trade-Off Theory of Capital Structure. An explanatory research design was adopted, targeting three multinational tea companies located in Kericho County, with a census approach employed to include all tea factories in the study. Secondary data were primarily sourced from the financial statements of these companies, collected using documentary guides and data sheets. Descriptive statistics, such as frequencies, mean, and standard deviation, alongside regression analysis, were used to analyze the data. The results from correlation analysis indicated a negative correlation between debt financing and return on assets. The study concluded that debt financing had a significant influence on the financial performance of tea companies in Kericho County. Consequently, the study recommended that tea companies should aim to determine an optimal capital structure that minimizes capital costs and maximizes returns. This could involve a balanced strategy in leveraging debt and equity to finance operations and growth, thereby enhancing their financial performance.
KEYWORDS: Capital Structure, Debt Financing, Financial Performance, Tea Processing Companies.

Biological safety in meat processing plants is of great importance to ensure high-quality and safe products. The improvement of preventive disinfection plays an important role in preventing the spread of bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms. The meat processing process is a complex and multicomponent process that includes a number of stages, starting with the acceptance of raw materials and ending with the packaging and packaging of the finished product. In each of these stages, there is a high risk of contamination of products with microorganisms that can cause food poisoning or infectious diseases in consumers. Preventive disinfection is one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in meat processing plants. It involves the use of special disinfectants that are highly effective against a wide range of pathogens.

Published: September 2024

The results of a study of the chronic toxicity of the liquid vitamin and mineral feed additive «Active Mix» VMG 500/600 are presented. The study was carried out in accordance with existing recommendations on 80 sexually mature nonlinear white rats (40 females and 40 males) and 40 Soviet chinchilla rabbits (20 females and 20 males). Animals of each species were divided into three experimental and one control groups. The rats and rabbits of the experimental groups were intragastrically administered the specified feed additive in dosages of 90 mg/kg; 720 mg/kg and 3600 mg/kg, respectively. In control groups, animals were injected with physiological sodium chloride solution. During the study, animals were weighed. The rats of the experimental groups showed no significant differences in weight compared to the animals of the control group. Male rabbits receiving a feed additive at a daily dose of 7200 mg/kg showed a significant increase in weight compared to the control. In the groups receiving daily doses of 720 mg/kg and 3600 mg/kg, the differences in weight compared to the control were not significant in both males and females. The absence of a significant decrease in weight in animals of the experimental groups may indicate the low toxicity of the feed additive. All rats and rabbits survived the study. Thus, the safety of using this feed additive was confirmed.

Published: September 2024

Abstract: Renewable energies play vital role in telecommunication sectors where grid is neither accessible nor stable. Wind energy (WE) and photovoltaic energy (PVE) are energy sources which when properly used can enable telecommunication business to be lucrative. In the application of renewable energy on off-grid rural and back bone sites hybrid systems are most pragmatic. Combination of solar, wind and backup batteries to meet the load demand can enable the energy center for the telecommunication site to be highly sustainable. Therefore, this paper looks at the analysis of hybrid renewable energy in Zambia on telecommunication sites in Mpulungu area of Northern part of Zambia.

Aim of this study on intimate partner violence among the married couples in southern part of Chennai city, this study is mainly created to determine about which Gender mostly affected by the Intimate Partner Violence. All the primary data analysed with the help of SPSS version 29 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), the derived results are presented in this chapter in the form of tables. The sample size for the research is 100, that means 50 married couples. All the data are collected by direct interviewing techniques, data are collected from the 50 married couples in the region of Southern part of Chennai. Hypothesis of the study female will get affect by the Intimate Partner violence than the man. research on Intimate partner violence underscores the urgent need for multifaceted interventions. It highlights the complex interplay of individual, relationship, community and societal factors contributing to IPV. Effective prevention and intervention strategies must address not only the immediate safety and well-being of survivors but also broader societal norms, attitudes, and systems perpetuating violence.

Echoes of the Past: Exploring the Interplay Between Trauma and Memory
Authors: - Nisha
Published: September 2024

Trauma and memory are intricately linked, with traumatic experiences
profoundly impacting how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved. This
research paper explores the interplay between trauma and memory, drawing on
psychological theories, neurobiological mechanisms, and empirical evidence.
The paper examines the effects of different types of trauma, including
childhood, adult, and collective trauma, on memory processes. It also delves
into memory distortions and false memories, discussing their mechanisms and
legal and ethical implications. Various therapeutic approaches, such as
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR), memory reconsolidation techniques, and narrative
therapy, are reviewed for their effectiveness in addressing trauma-related
memory issues. Case studies and empirical research highlight the complexities
of the trauma-memory relationship, providing a foundation for practical
implications and policy recommendations. Future research directions emphasize
the need for integrative approaches and addressing existing gaps to enhance our
understanding and treatment of trauma-related memory disturbances.

Published: September 2024

Only a limited amount of research has considered both defense mechanisms and coping techniques. The majority of previous studies have focused solely on one of these aspects. This particular study aims to explore the variations in coping mechanisms and defense systems among individuals of different age groups. The study specifically includes participants aged between 18 and 30 years old. The primary objective of this research is to analyze coping mechanisms and defense methods during early adulthood. By doing so, we can gain insights into individuals' cognitive processes, which subsequently impact their emotions and behavior. Furthermore, this study also aims to examine how different coping mechanisms and defense mechanisms align with various stages of life. The findings from this research will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of early adulthood. for the current research Defense Style Questionnaire 40 (DSQ 40) and The Coping Scale Questionnaire these tests were used for measuring the defense styles and coping strategies among the adulthood. Google forms were circulated for collecting the data and SPSS version 22 software was used for statistical analysis. The findings suggest that defense style and coping strategies do not exhibit a statistically significant correlation.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: The use of facial masks provides a viable alternative to the use of cold poultice in traditional medicine. However, with regard to the use of Andrographis paniculata in Thai traditional medicine, previous studies have not described an appropriate formula for such facial masks and their associated properties. The objective of this study is to describe the chemical and physical properties and contaminants found in six peel-off facial mask formulas containing Andrographis paniculata extracts.

Methods: Investigators developed six formulas of facial masks containing Andrographis paniculata with varying amounts of PVA and HPMC but fixed proportion of crude Andrographis extract. Investigators then selected the formula with the most suitable properties for additional assessments regarding changes in their physical and chemical properties after a 3-month incubation period at varying temperatures, as well as chemical and microbial contaminations.

Results: The most appropriate formula contained 2.5% HPMC (vol/vol) and 10% PVA (vol/vol). After incubation, formula at higher incubation temperature had lower andrographolite than formula at lower incubation temperature. The pH, colour, and thickness had little variations by incubation temperatures. Chemical and microbial contaminations were all according to standards.

Discussion and Conclusion: The findings of the study had implications for stakeholders in pharmaceutical sciences and traditional medicine. However, limitations regarding the sample size and lack of generalizability should be considered in the interpretation of the study findings.
Analysis of the Effectiveness of Tourism Destination Advertising in Lahat Regency
Authors: Karo Karo Pelliyezer
Published: September 2024

This research was carried out to evaluate video advertisements for the Ayik Pacar tourist destination in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra using the Customer Response Index (CRI) instrument with the AISAS (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, Share) concept. The research population is consumers who are reached while the tourist destination video advertisement is broadcast, with a sample size of 100 people. The research results show that all four models in the AISAS concept provide results with different CRI values. The four models studied include, the first AISAS model produces a CRI value of 21 percent, the second AIAS model produces a CRI value of 30 percent, the third AISS model produces a CRI value of 38 percent and the fourth AIS model produces the highest CRI value of 55 percent. An increase in the CRI value shows the best effectiveness of the advertising message in the fourth model. At the same time, the third model also shows quite good effectiveness, although it has not yet reached a value of more than 50 percent, but the CRI value is already greater than the No Search value for consumer responses.  Apart from the CRI results, it is known that a new consumer response pattern has emerged, namely that consumers will not immediately plan to visit tourist destinations or even look for comparative information from the tourist destination they are going to.

Peningkatan Pelayanan Kesehatan yang Berkesinambungan Melalui Bridging Sistem Informasi Manajemen (SIMRS) dengan Icare BPJS
Authors: Junaidi Ahmad , Wadisman Cendra
Published: September 2024

Improving health services to the community is the responsibility of all health facilities throughout Indonesia. One aspect that health facilities must pay attention to is being able to provide sustainable health services by looking at the diagnosis history and drug therapy that has been given to patients. This requires a tool to be able to view the history. However, in conditions where patients receive health services at different clinics or hospitals, problems arise, such as (1) Doctors cannot see the history of diagnosis and drug therapy at other health facilities, (2) Errors may occur in the next disease assessment, (3) and medically psychologically it can hinder doctors in making a diagnosis because sometimes the information from the patient is incomplete or does not meet the elements of truth. Hospital Management Information Systems usually only record the history of services, diagnoses, medical procedures, drug therapy given at the hospital. To find out the history of patients at other hospitals, SIMRS needs to bridge with systems outside it. Namely the BPJS Information system. The BPJS system has provided a service that can be used by Health Facilities to view patient history at other health facilities that the patient has visited. The system is named Icare BPJS. By connecting the Hospital SIM with the Icare BPJS SIM, it is hoped that it will be able to provide continuous health services to patients and minimize errors in determining diagnoses, drugs to be given and other medical procedures.
