Integrative medicine: A path to holistic healthcare
Authors: Kanagat Sadhvika , Boratne Abhijit Vinodrao
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our entire viewpoint on the health-care systems in India. The concept of well-being has now taken the spotlight. Preventive techniques from different systems of medicine were adopted by the people which proved to be highly efficacious in beating the symptoms. This pandemic has taught us various lessons, of which embracing our traditional health systems is an important one. This crisis has given us an opportunity to understand that as much as how modern healthcare is doing wonders, the traditional health systems also have gems of wisdom which need to be explored and made accessible to all. Hence, integration of modern medicine with our traditional medicine would help us to treat an individual as a whole in a holistic manner.
Reflectiion on archetypes in Yakut women's lyrics
Authors: М.П. Попова,
Published: January 2023

Статья посвящена изучению отражения архетипических образов в якутской женской лирике. Для достижения поставленной цели мы опирались на исследование швейцарского ученого – психоаналитика Карла Густава Юнга. Методы исследования: описательный, сравнительно-сопоставительный и архетипический. Материалом исследования выбраны поэтические произведения таких известных якутских поэтесс, как В. Потапова, Н. Харлампьева, С. Гольдерова-Саргы Куо, О. Корякина-Умсуура, Н. Михалева-Сайа, В. Петрова-Венера. Также в качестве сравнения приведены поэтические тексты мужчин: якутских поэтов и авторов других национальных литератур. Из выделенных К. Юнгом архетипов в данной статье нами рассмотрены архетипы любовника и спасителя, так как их присутствие характерно только для женской лирики. В творчестве поэтовмужчин они не наблюдаются. Рассмотрены образы неба, луны как прообразов, получивших в творчестве якутских поэтесс архетипическую роль. Особое внимание обращено цветовой гамме и объемной характеристике образа в поэтических текстах поэтесс. Из эпитетов к слову «небо», применяемых в творчестве поэтесс, 30% взяты из устного творчества, в частности, из якутского героического эпоса олонхо. Замечено, что в описании неба авторами-женщинами наиболее часто использован белый цвет. Образ неба в творчестве поэтесс применен в качестве метафорического образа. Он отождествляется с объектом любви – мужчиной, является обиталищем, откуда должны спуститься архетипы любовника, спасителя. Красочность и обилие эпитетов к слову «небо», восходящих к фольклору, появление индивидуальных авторских эпитетов в сборниках поэтесс свидетельствует о богатом поэтическом лексиконе и его эволюции в их творчестве. По сравнению с творчеством других современных якутских поэтов именно женской лирике свойственна передача цветовой гаммы и объемной характеристики образа неба, восходящие к фольклору.

Published: January 2023

Healthcare workers face several threats when they practice their daily work. These factors can impact their occupational health and safety and negatively impact patient health care by reducing quality health care in the health sector. The purpose of this study is to provide a mini-review of the previous studies about some factors that can considerably impact occupational health and safety for the healthcare team. These factors are physical and psychological aspects. The authors individually completed a literature review for this article via an independent study followed by a collaborative discussion. The authors researched available sources to provide some results about these factors and how they can reduce the level of occupational health and safety for the health team provider and the safe and sound delivery of quality care for the patient. The results of this mini-review indicated that the physical and psychological aspects of the health team workers significantly impact the level of occupational health and safety, which can dramatically affect patient care. Therefore, early and proper educational courses and stress roles are necessary to reduce or even eliminate these factors, which cause negatively influence the occupational health and safety of the staff the patient care, as well as increase the burden on the health organization. This requires a multidisciplinary management approach to meet occupational health and safety requirements. Future research should concentrate on these factors to increase the health care provider’s awareness about maintaining their occupational health and safety during their duty and examine some policy that helps reduce these impacts.

Female genital Tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon in Australia. It may, however, be a rarely considered cause of infertility and early pregnancy failure. We report the case of a 19-year-old migrant woman living in regional Australia who presented with ectopic pregnancy following prior treatment for genital tuberculosis. We highlight the vulnerability of migrant and indigenous Australians to chronic disease, the barriers that affect successful treatment and the strategies needed to mitigate disparity of healthcare providers not otherwise encountered in metropolitan populations.
Exploring the Design of Superradiant J-Aggregates from Amphiphilic Monomer Units

Published: January 2023

Excitonic chromophore aggregates have wide-ranging applicability in fields such as imaging and energy harvesting, however their rational design requires adapting principles of self-assembly to the requirements of excited state coupling. Using the well-studied amphiphilic cyanine dye C8S3 as a template—known to assemble into tubular excitonic aggregates—we synthesize several redshifted variants and study their self-assembly and photophysics. The new pentamethine dyes retain their tubular self-assembly and demonstrate nearly identical bathochromic shifts and lineshapes well into near-infrared wavelengths. However, detailed photophysical analysis finds that the new aggregates show a significant decline in superradiance. Additionally, cryo-TEM reveals that these aggregates readily form short bundles of nanotubes that have nearly half the radii of their trimethine comparators. We employ computational screening to gain intuition on how the structural components of these new aggregates affect their excitonic states, finding that the narrower tubes are able to assemble into a larger number of arrangements, resulting in more disordered aggregates (i.e. less superradiant) with highly similar degrees of redshift.
Explaining compound activity predictions with a substructure-aware loss for graph neural networks
Authors: Amara Kenza , Rodriguez-Perez Raquel , Jiménez Luna José
Published: January 2023

Explainable machine learning is increasingly used in drug discovery to help rationalize compound property predictions. Feature attribution techniques are popular choices to identify which molecular substructures are responsible for a predicted property change. However, established molecular feature attribution methods have so far displayed low performance for popular deep learning algorithms such as graph neural networks (GNNs), especially when compared with simpler modeling alternatives such as random forests coupled with atom masking. To mitigate this problem, in this work a modification of the regression objective for GNNs is proposed to specifically account for common core structures between pairs of molecules. The presented approach showed higher accuracy on a recently-proposed explainability benchmark. This methodology has the potential to assist with model explainability in drug discovery pipelines, particularly in lead optimization efforts where specific chemical series are investigated.
Open Macromolecular Genome: Generative Design of Synthetically Accessible Polymers
Authors: Kim Seonghwan , Schroeder Charles , Jackson Nicholas
Published: January 2023

A grand challenge in polymer science lies in the predictive design of new polymeric materials with targeted functionality. However, de novo design of functional polymers is challenging due to the vast chemical space and an incomplete understanding of structure-property relations. Recent advances in deep generative modeling have facilitated the efficient exploration of molecular design space, but data sparsity in polymer science is a major obstacle hindering progress. In this work, we introduce a vast polymer database known as the Open Macromolecular Genome (OMG), which contains synthesizable polymer chemistries compatible with known polymerization reactions and commercially available reactants selected for synthetic feasibility. The OMG is used in concert with a synthetically aware generative model known as Molecule Chef to identify property-optimized constitutional repeating units, constituent reactants, and reaction pathways of polymers, thereby advancing polymer design into the realm of synthetic relevance. As a proof-of-principle demonstration, we show that polymers with targeted octanol-water solubilities are readily generated together with monomer reactant building blocks and associated polymerization reactions. Suggested reactants are further integrated with Reaxys polymerization data to provide hypothetical reaction conditions (e.g. temperature, catalysts, solvents). Broadly, the OMG is a polymer design approach capable of enabling data intensive generative models for synthetic polymer design. Overall, this work represents a significant advance enabling the property targeted design of synthetic polymers subject to practical synthetic constraints.
Exploring Eutectic Mixing of Quinones for Engineering High Energy-Density Electrolytes
Authors: Penn Emily , Baclig Antonio , Ganapathi Devi , Chueh William
Published: January 2023

Eutectic electrolytes can attain high concentrations of redox-active species, offering a path towards high energy density redox flow batteries. Here we introduce a new entropically-driven eutectic mixing approach using organic small molecules. By mixing chemically similar redox-active species, we engineer highly concentrated, low viscosity liquids composed almost entirely of redox active molecules. Using quinones as a model system, we discover a ternary benzoquinone eutectic mixture and a binary naphthoquinone eutectic mixture which have theoretical redox-active electron concentrations of 16.8 and 8.8 M e−, respectively. We investigate compatibility with protic supporting electrolytes and quantify ionic conductivity and viscosity of quinone eutectic electrolytes across multiple states of charge. A binary naphthoquinone eutectic electrolyte with a protic ionic liquid supporting electrolyte (7.1 M e−, theoretical volumetric capacity 188 Ah L−1) achieves a volumetric capacity of 49 Ah L−1 in symmetric static cell cycling. These preliminary results suggest that entropy-driven eutectic mixing is a promising strategy for developing high energy density flow battery electrolytes.
Conductive Polymers to ‘Wire’ the Microbial Electronics Interface
Authors: Agee Alec , Pace Gordon , Yang Victoria , Segalman Rachel , Furst Ariel
Published: January 2023

Organic waste streams contain a significant amount of latent energy that is difficult to harvest. Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs), which extract electrons through microbial metabolism, are a promising technology to recover this energy. Despite advances in these technologies, microbial electrocatalysis in MESs remains limited by inefficient electron transfer between living cells and electrodes. Here, we demonstrate significant improvement in this interfacial electron transfer through the incorporation of electron- and ion-conductive polymers. We have designed these polymers with a conductive backbone and side chains that mimic ligands of catalytic centers in redox-active enzymes. Specifically, methylimidazolium groups mimic protonated histidines prevalent in enzyme active sites. We show that these polymers substantially enhance mediated electron transfer and overall current generation by Shewanella oneidensis, an electroactive microbe often used in MESs. Our work highlights the importance of materials engineering applied to the biotic-abiotic interface to improve charge transfer in bioelectronic systems.
Elucidating Trivalent Ion Adsorption at Floating Carboxylic Acid Monolayers: Charge Reversal or Water Reorganization?
Authors: Nayak Srikanth , Kumal Raju R. , Lee Seung Eun , Uysal Ahmet
Published: January 2023

We study trivalent neodymium adsorption on floating arachidic acid films at the air/water interface by two complementary surface specific probes, sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence near total reflection (XFNTR). In the absence of background ions, neodymium ions compensate the surface charge of the arachidic acid film at 50 M bulk concentration without any charge reversal. Increasing the bulk concentration to 1 mM does not change the neodymium surface coverage but affects the interfacial water structure significantly. In the presence of a high concentration of background salt, NaCl, there is overcharging at 1mM of Nd3+ i.e., 30% more Nd3+ than needed to compensate the surface charge. The overcharging trend with and without salts is different than those observed at mineral/water interface, emphasizing the importance of surface properties. These results show that the total coverage of neodymium ions is not enough to describe the complete picture at the interface, and interfacial water and ion coverage needs to be considered together to understand more complex ion adsorption and transport processes.

Published: January 2023

It is a typical wonder these days, in different organizations to see that, the workers abuse the critical authoritative standards, and take part in such a conduct, which ends up being grievous to the organization. A portion of the occasions are, taking over the top breaks from work, taking from organization, Blaming colleagues, contending non valuably, inappropriate behavior, individual hostility and Endangering collaborators. This sort of conduct, which is a deviation from the standards set somewhere around the organization is designated "Deviational work place behaviour.”This sort of conduct, may antagonistically influence the physical and mental prosperity of employees. Consequently, this might prompt the organization missing out on the productivity of the employees at work environment. Due to this explanation, there is a developing significance to examine the purposes for the unusual conduct of this sort, and come out with answers for keep away from this sort of conduct. As disappointed employees show this kind of conduct, we have to evaluate the components prompting disappointment and how much these variables impact the conduct. The consequences of Negative deviational behavior at work can be classified as organizational to Interpersonal and minor to serious.We are going to study about Endangering co-workers, whichcomes under interpersonal and serious cause category.The other kinds of consequences are Organizational and minor, organizational and serious and interpersonal and minor. The Questionnaire will be prepared in such a way that will bring out information about whether they are provided with sufficient hygiene factors, and lack of which hygiene factor leads to the consequence of Endangering co-workers etc.

Authors: Minh N.P.
Published: January 2023

Overconsumption of processed muscle products was associated with health problems.
Consumers preferred healthier food by limiting fauna ingredients and increasing floral
sources in the foodstuffs. Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) could be obtained in
high quantity and good quality from the utilization of agro-industrial waste in a short time
in a saving area. Oyster mushrooms were well known as one kind of healthy vegetable due
to their low cholesterol content but high proximate composition. The purpose of this
research was to evaluate the possibility of partial replacement of Pangasius (Pangasius
hypophthalmus) scrapped muscle by oyster mushrooms powder (0-35%) to the
physicochemical attributes of the dry-fermented sausage. Dried powder oyster mushrooms
were mixed with different ingredients like modified starch, garlic, onion, black pepper,
cinnamon, clove, ginger, coriander, sodium chloride, sodium glutamate, sugar, liquor, and
then stuffed in cellulose casing (30 mm diameter, 150 mm length), and formed sausage.
The raw sausage was then dry-fermented at 55oC for 72±2 hrs. The dry-fermented sausage
was sealed in a vacuum bag and kept for 6 months at room condition. In 2 month-interval,
sausages were sampled to evaluate hydrogen accommodating ability, cooking loss,
thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, and overall acceptance. Results
showed that the 25% oyster mushrooms incorporation into scrapped muscle Pangasius fish
induced the lowest cooking loss and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)
value while the highest hydrogen accommodating ability and sensory score during 6
months of vacuum storage. Oyster mushrooms revealed a promising alternative to replace
meat in sausage production.

From an ideological war to an ideology of war: Aleksandr Dugin’s assumptions of neo-Eurasianism and their application to Russian preparations for the war against Ukraine
Authors: Składanowski Marcin
Published: January 2023

This article compares the main aspects of Dugin’s neo-Eurasianism with the content of two important texts published in 2021: Putin’s article ‘On the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians’ and the new National Security Strategy. These texts can be understood as part of ideological preparations for the war against Ukraine in 2022. The presence of elements of Russian nationalist ideology in these texts will make it possible to answer the question of whether the neo-Eurasian ideology is the authentic basis of Russian neo-imperialist policy or whether it is merely a useful propaganda façade.

Effects of previous exposure to different medications on the clinical course of COVID-19 patients in Istanbul, Turkey
Authors: Ünal Ülkü Sur , Yananlı Hasan Raci , Ünal Ömer Kays , Kaya Yasemin Doğan , Keskin Merve , Güngören Fikriye , Karaalp Atila
Published: January 2023

Background/Aim: Multiple studies have investigated the effects of drugs that alter ACE2 expression, such as renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and thiazolidinediones, on the clinical course of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). But a consensus has not yet been reached, and it has been stated that they do not have any effect. There are publications in which metformin is associated with low mortality and insulin with high mortality. Data from different parts of the world are important given that the rate of spread of COVID-19 may be related to the expression status of ACE2 or TMPRSS2 receptors or some other unknown genetic factors. This study aims to examine the effects of medications used chronically in the last 6 months before contracting COVID-19 on the clinical course of COVID-19 in a sample of Istanbul, Turkey.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, which included 525 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between March and November 2020 from four family health centers in Istanbul, the records of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. In addition to demographic information, all medications chronically used by the patients in the last 6 months before the diagnosis of COVID-19 were noted. The effects of demographic data and medications on the three main endpoints of the study, which were hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mortality, were analyzed using logistic regression models.

Results: Of the 525 COVID-19 patients included in the study, 109 (20.8%) were hospitalized, 18 (3.4%) were treated in ICU, and 11 (2.1%) patients died. Increasing age is associated with hospitalization, ICU admission and mortality. Also, the presence of COVID-19 thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings and polypharmacy was associated with increased hospitalization. Living alone and the presence of COVID-19 thoracic CT findings was associated with increased ICU admission. When adjusted for age and comorbidity, logistic regression models revealed that medications for diabetes mellitus (DM) increased the probability of hospitalization (OR: 3.9, 95% CI 1.2-13.0), and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) increased the probability of ICU admission (OR: 15.8, 95% CI 2.1–120.2) and mortality (OR: 295.1, 95% CI 4.6–18946.6).

Conclusion: Previous use of DM medications and CCBs may negatively affect the clinical course of COVID-19.
Frequency and type of arrhythmia in Holter electrocardiogram in patients undergoing hemodialysis
Authors: Yurdam Ferhat Siyamend , Kış Mehdi
Published: January 2023

Background/Aim: It is known that approximately 40% of chronic hemodialysis patients die due to cardiac arrhythmia and cardiovascular reasons. Determining whether the hemodialysis procedure poses a risk for arrhythmia is important in terms of prognostic follow-up of the patients. Therefore, we aimed to determine the underlying arrhythmia frequency and types with 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients receiving hemodialysis with normal baseline electrocardiography between the hemodialysis periods.
Methods: Between January 2018 and January 2022, 91 consecutive patients who received hemodialysis for chronic renal failure (CRF) and applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic with complaints of palpitation and sinus rhythm on ECG and evaluated with 24-hour rhythm Holter ECG were included in the study. Our study was designed as a retrospective cohort study.
Results: The mean age of the patient population was 65.78 (11.92) years, the mean systolic blood pressure was 143.71 (24.88) mmHg, and the mean heart rate was 83.43 (15.85) beats/min. Hypertension (HT) (n=44, 48%) and coronary artery disease (n=34, 37%) were the most common comorbid diseases. The most common arrhythmias detected on Holter ECG were ventricular extrasystole (VES) (n=18, 19.8%) and paroxysmal AF (n=8, 8.8%). Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was detected in two patients.
Conclusion: Detecting arrhythmia in the interdialytic periods in patients receiving hemodialysis due to CRF is important for follow-up and treatment. Even if the baseline ECG is normal in hemodialysis patients with CRF, the frequency of the underlying arrhythmia that needs to be treated is high.

Background/Aim: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, with an estimated 18.6 million deaths each year. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has positive effects on reducing the mortality and morbidity of CVD, so there is a growing interest in this field. The aim of this study was to analyze the top 50 cited articles in the field of CR.
Methods: The Web of Science (WoS) database was searched for articles published between 1986 and 2021. A record was made of the following information for the bibliometric analysis: article title, year of publication, number of authors and their names, number of citations, citation index, journal of publication, impact factor, type of article, and source of funding. The altmetric attention score (AAS) was recorded using automatic software calculation.
Results: The majority of articles were published in the journal “Circulation” (n=14) and the “Journal of the American College of Cardiology” (n=8). The country with the highest number of articles was the US (n=27), and the most cited author was P.A. Ades. Studies evaluating exercise-based rehabilitation, key components of CR, and secondary prevention were among the top cited articles. In terms of AAS, in addition to the titles mentioned, mobile health services that rely on communication technologies have also received attention.
Conclusion: This study provides useful information for researchers interested in CR, including trends, topics of interest in the field, and potential research collaborations. It is intended to guide future, more comprehensive, and in-depth studies on CR.

Published: January 2023

Coronavirus is a public health issue with socioeconomic and livelihood dimensions. The World Health Organization declared the current novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. The South African government has implemented different strategies, ranging from total lockdown in certain locations and provision of palliatives in some provinces across the country. This study, therefore, investigated the correlates of vulnerability and responsiveness to the adverse impacts of COVID-19 in South Africa. The study utilized primary data collected among 477 respondents. Descriptive statistical tools, Tobit and Probit regression models, were used to analyze the data. The study found different levels of vulnerability (low, medium, and high) and responsiveness among households, including stocking up of food items, remote working, reliance on palliatives, and social grant provision, among others. Some of the correlates of responsiveness to the COVID-19 pandemic include being employed, the type of community, and the income of respondents. The study, therefore, recommends increased investments in welfare programmes (safety nets, palliative measures and economic stimulus packages) as well as capacity building of households through education to reduce vulnerability. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2022-03-04-02 Full Text: PDF

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) is an alternative type of jelutung and pulai, alternative that is increasingly available as raw material in making pencils. This study aims to find out the effect of thinning and soil physical properties on the growth of A. cadamba stands in various locations in PT. Lestari Mahaputra Buana Padalarang, West Bandung Regency. The characteristic of the research location has a place height of 347 - 405 masl and an average temperature of 31,35˚C. The observation results of observing the physical soil are obtained a clumpy angular shaped and the soil texture in the observation place is silty clay loam. Bulk density ranges from 1,18 – 1,28 g/cc, water content range from 24,62 – 28,94 and soil permeability range from 0,64 – 0,82 cm/hour. Thinning treatment has a significant effect (95% level) on parameters of diameter after two months (0,58 cm) and after four months (0,66 cm). Factors at location and interaction (treatment and location) did not significantly affect the growth of A. cadamba stands in all variables (total height, free height of branches and diameter).

Enoki mushrooms have a fairly high economic potential in the consumption market share, especially for Japanese and Korean dishes. However, in Indonesia not many people cultivate this fungus because the requires special temperature treatment. This research aims to find the most effective treatment of temperature and composition of planting media between sengon wood sawdust and straw for cultivating enoki mushrooms so that they can grow rapidly in Indonesia. The method used in this research is an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely temperature treatment and planting media of sengon sawdust with straw. The data collection method was carried out directly in the laboratory to measure the width of mycelium growth, temperature, humidity, and composition of the growing media. Mycelium growth at 3:1 composition has a relatively higher growth rate at 13.9℃ temperature and 96.5% humidity.

The dormancy of Ketapang kencana seeds can be removed by using pre-treatment in order to breaking dormancy of seeds. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of pre-treatment for breaking dormancy of seeds, and the seed size on the Ketapang kencana seed germination. Ketapang kencana seeds that have been extracted are classified into 3 sizes, such as: large, medium and small. After that, the seeds were treated with dormancy breaking, such as: (1) control, (2) seeds cutting, (3) seeds sanding, (4) seeds soaking in H2SO4 solution, (5) seeds soaking in hot water (temperature ± 80 oC) for 10 minutes, (6) seeds soaking in water for 12 hours, and (7) seeds soaking in water for 72 hours. The results showed that there were 3 pre-treatments of seeds dormancy breaking that could increase the seed germination, such as cutting the seeds on the endocarp, sanding the seeds on the endocarp, and soaking the seeds in the water for 12 hours. The pre-treatments of seeds dormancy breaking significantly affected the germination index, normal sprout growth (dry weight, height, root length), and the start of sprout growth. Ketapang kencana seed size affected the germination and the dry weight of normal sprouts. The large seeds (0.65–0.82 cm) had the highest germination and dry weight. In general, the pre-treatment of seeds dormancy breaking and the seed size increased the germination of Ketapang kencana seeds.
