Virtual physical assessment training during the COVID-19 pandemic - student pharmacists’ performance & perceptions
Authors: Aranda Josephine P , Smith Shawn R , Nguyen Han N , Jap Christina , Gogineni Hyma P
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted pharmacy education and caused significant transformation in student learning and assessment. Pharmacy PA faculty transformed the traditional PA teaching and practicum to virtual utilising Zoom. PA practicum consists of demonstration of a set of short videos, followed by students identifying incorrect techniques, describing the correct technique, and the purpose of the specific PA skill. After completion of the virtual PA practicum examination, students were invited to complete a 20-item survey about their perceptions. Most students preferred blended learning (56.8%) format over in-class, even though students performed significantly better on the traditional practicum (0.89+0.13) rather than the virtual (0.84+0.11). Hands-on skills are an integral part to PA instruction and learning, making innovations in virtual delivery and assessment vital for student success. This pandemic gave opportunities to explore curricular innovations as our virtual formats provided alternative approaches to review and summative assessment of PA.

Songs That Travel: A Review Article of the CD box The Liturgy of Beta Israel
Authors: Dege-Müller Sophia , Karlsson Jonas
Published: January 2021

In 1986, a Franco-Israeli team of scholars set out to document the liturgy of the Beta ʾƎsrāʾel, a group of Ethiopian Jews which at the time was in the process of making aliyah under dramatic circumstances. The scholars gathered a group of priests in Israel and produced an impressive corpus of recordings, covering important parts of the liturgical tradition. Over the past decades, the team has been publishing their results in a number of articles and monographs, and in 2019 presented a selection of recordings in the form of a CD box. The box contains three CDs plus a bilingual booklet with information about the liturgical tradition of the Beta ʾƎsrāʾel: their music, prayers, and ritual practices. In this review article, the research results presented in the booklet are evaluated, with special attention paid to the effects that migration has had on the Beta ʾƎsrāʾel liturgical tradition.

Authors: Nagendra chary.M  , Lalitha B.R  , T.Anil kumar
Published: January 2021

Propagation of human race get affected by both male and female factors. Male infertility contributes 50% of total infertility. Ksheenashukra (Oligospermia) is one of the commonest conditions for male infertility caused by Vata pitta dosha. Ayurvedic approach to rectify pathology of Ksheenashukra is through Vrushya (Aphrodisiac), Shukrajanaka, (Spermatogenic) Shukravardhaka (enhancing Semen and Sperm) Shukrapravataka (improve the ejaculatory process) and Shukrala etc pharmacological activities. The drug which enhances Shukra (Semen and Sperm) is named as Shukrala (Spermatogenic) activity. Madhyama panchamoola a group of drugs comprising of Bala (Sida cordifolia) Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), Eranda (Ricinus communis), Mudgaparni (Teramnus labialis) and Mashaparni (Vigna trilobata). Review of literature reveals that each of these drugs has Balya (Strength promoter), Vrushya, Rasayana (Rejuvenation), Jeevaniya (Life promoting) and Shukrajanana (Spermatogenic) properties. Madhyama panchamoola as a group not had been evaluated for its potentiality as Shukrala but each of them individually proven for antioxidant, spermatogenic, antidiabetic and hepatoprotective activities. Phytoconstituents present in this viz., Ecdysterone, Boeravinone, Rotenoids, Octacosanol, Vitexin, Quercetin and Bergenin have been confirmed for spermatogenic activity. Reactive oxygen species identified as cause for male infertility. Hence antioxidant is used as a source of treatment. Components of Madhyama panchamoola in addition to antioxidant activity have other required pharmacological activities in the management of Ksheenashukra. This review upholds the compatibility ingredients of Madhyama pancha moola to be potential Shukrala combination.
NEURO-ENDOCRINE-IMMUNE MODULATION BY AYURVEDIC RASAYANA DRUGS
Authors: Sudeep Kumar Brahma
Published: January 2021

Ayurveda which literally means “the science of life” is the ancient Indian system of medicine. Rasayana is a specialized branch of Ayurveda. The drugs attributed with Rasayana properties are mentioned to delay the process of ageing, enhance the mental and cognitive functions and deliver freedom from a number of diseases including those caused by infectious organisms. All these activities of Rasayana drugs seem to be associated with neuro-endocrine-immune systems. In this study we have reviewed the growing inter-relationship between the neuro-endocrine-immune systems and stress as a neuro-endocrine-immune phenomenon. Some important Ayurvedic Rasayana drugs including Aswagandha (Withania somnifera), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Shilajit (Asphalt), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and few others along with their pharmacological actions on the above three systems and stress as well have also been reviewed. It has been observed that most of them tend to exhibit their activities by modulating the neuro-endocrine-immune systems along with anti-stress/adaptogenic capability. The scientific inter-relationship between the three systems has been taken as the model reference. Similar actions are expected from other Rasayana drugs too. Therefore Rasayana drugs in Ayurveda can be evaluated and used as neuro-endocrine-immune modulators.

Authors:   Cardiologist, Department of Cardiology B, IBN SINA HOSPITAL CENTER, Rabat, Morocco, MANOURI KAWTAR
Published: January 2021

Background: Recurrence of sporadic cardiac myxoma remains unusual but the seriousness of the situation justifies the realization of a surgical resection as complete as possible with post-operative clinical and echocargdiographic monitoring. Case presentation: We recall the case of myxoma of the left atriumin a 64-year-old women complicated by functional mitral stenosis and heart failure. She underwent urgent heart surgery, during which a friable tumor attached by a sessile base to the anterior atrial septum was removed. The postoperative effects were complicated by a pulmonary embolism. Eight months later, the patient consulted for exertional dyspnea with an echocardiographic image in favor of a recurrence of myxoma of the left atrium. Conclusion: Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain such recurrence, the most avoidable remain incomplete surgical resection and Implantation of embolic fragments of the original tumor in the myocardium due to a previous surgery.

Authors: Margianti Aldera , Dani Nandiyanto Asep Bayu
Published: January 2021

This study aims to analyze the economic evaluation on the production of TiO2 nanoparticles using the simple aqueous peroxo route method. Economic evaluation is carried out using several economic parameters, such as Payback Period (PBP), Break Even Point (BEP), and Cumulative Net Present Value (CNPV). The economic evaluation method is carried out by calculating several factors to see the potential of TiO2 nanoparticle production, such as an increase in tax prices, sales prices, and the effect of raw material prices. Based on tax evaluation, the greatest income achievement when taxed is 10%. Based on the sales evaluation, the minimum sales price so that the company does not lose is at the 90% point. Based on variations in raw material prices, an increase in raw material prices by up to 50% will not cause a loss. PBP analysis shows the investment in a short period of time, namely in the fourth year and until the 20th year the company's profits continue to increase. In conclusion, the results of the economic evaluation show good prospects. The impact of this research is the evaluation of large-scale economic data on TiO2 nanoparticles, production prospects with estimated factors that may occur under ideal conditions.

Public Administration and Democracy: The Virtue and Limit of Participatory Democracy as a Democratic Innovation
Authors: Karimi Sirvan
Published: January 2021

The expansion of public bureaucracy has been one of the most significant developments that has marked societies, particularly Western liberal democratic societies. Growing political apathy, citizen disgruntlement and the ensuing decline in electoral participation reflects the political nature of governance failures. Public bureaucracy, which has historically been saddled with derogatory and pejorative connotations, has encountered fierce assaults from multiple fronts. Out of these sharp criticisms of public bureaucracy that have emanated from both sides of the ideological spectrum, attempts have been made to popularize and advance citizen participation in both policy formulation and policy implementation processes as innovations to democratize public administration. Despite their virtue, empowering connotations and spirit-uplifting messages to the public, these proposed practices of democratic innovations not only have their own shortcomings and are conducive to exacerbating the conditions that they are directed to ameliorate but they also  have the potential  to undermine the traditional administrative and political accountability mechanisms.

REGIONAL CONVERGENCE IN NORTH AFRICA REGIONS : PARAMETRIC AND NON PARAMETRIC APPROACHES
Authors: HAZEM Mohamed
Published: January 2021

Attention to issues of inequality and convergence has become a topic of considerable interest in both developing and developed economies. The purpose of this paper is to study empirically the evolution of the disparities between more than 360 Maghreb regions considering spatial dependence and to explore a non-parametric approach for characterizing convergence of GDP per capita. This study utilizes growth theory as the theoretical foundation to explore the convergence hypothesis. The methodology consists of identifying the shape of the long-run spatial associations through the use of Markov chains which make it possible to derive a unique stationary distribution related to the transition matrix. The results of the analysis indicate the persistence of regional disparities and the importance of geography to explain the global convergence process with positive spatial spillover effects. The proportion of high-income regions surrounded by similar regions has significantly increased detrimentally to the other spatial associations. This non-parametric approach complements the standard parametric method (absolute and conditional beta-convergence) which shows that the slow convergence process can be accelerated by beneficial spatial interaction effects. These results have strong policy implications with regard to national and territorial policies in these countries.
Stereotip Warga Tionghoa Dalam Geopolitik Hubungan Indonesia dengan Tiongkok
Authors: Hidayadi Taufik , Nugrahani Henny Saptatia Drajati
Published: January 2021

Perkembangan Tiongkok yang sedemikian pesat memberikan implikasi terhadap hubungan regional di kawasan. Indonesia telah membuat kajian evaluasi dan perhitungan yang sedemikian rupa dari sudut geopolitik dan geostrategi yang dipahami sebagai kepentingan dan ketahanan nasional. Pertimbangan yang paling rasional dari politik luar negeri yang bebas aktif adalah dengan memperkuat hubungan bilateral Indonesia dan Tiongkok, bukan hanya dalam kemitraan biasa tetapi lebih pada hubungan dekat yang mempunyai implikasi ekonomi dan teknologi. Kondisi geopolitik dalam hubungan Indonesia dan Republik Rakyat Tiongkok yang dinamis dapat dilihat dalam hubungan kerjasama ekonomi investasi dimana Tiongkok adalah salah satu dari empat investor terbesar di Indonesia dalam lima tahun terakhir. Polemik Laut China Selatan serta terjadinya pandemi Covid-19 yang berasal dari Wuhan juga semakin menambah kedinamisan hubungan tersebut. Hubungan Indonesia dengan Tiongkok berlaku pasang surut sejak pengakuan berdirinya negara Republik Rakyat Tiongkok pada tahun 1949 sejak jaman Orde Lama sampai dengan Orde baru, serta kebijakan negara terhadap etnis Tionghoa setelah itu. Kebijakan seperti asimilasi yang berdasarkan stereotype terhadap kelompok etnis Tionghoa, telah meninggalkan celah yang lebar dalam kaitan hubungan antar negara dengan penduduknya serta sikap masyarakat Indonesia sendiri terhadap etnis Tionghoa dengan jelas terlihat saat kejadian reformasi 1998 dan belum cair sampai saat ini seperti terlihat pada kejadian Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2017.

A relação maléfica entre hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e dislipidemia torna-se explícita a partir da análise da progressão dessas comorbidades simultaneamente, agravando diretamente o risco cardiovascular. Se observa o aumento de espécies reativas do oxigênio gerando estresse oxidativo, a diminuição da biodisponibilidade de óxido nítrico promovendo disfunção endotelial, maior concentração de moléculas LDL oxidadas o que resulta na progressão de eventos ateroscleróticos. Somado a isto, se percebe que o tratamento em conjunto das duas doenças é mais eficaz quando comparado ao tratamento de cada uma delas isoladamente, demonstrando o efeito sinérgico do tratamento em conjunto. Concluindo então, que as comorbidades estão intimamente relacionadas e agravam o estado geral do paciente.

Entende-se como hipertensão mascarada (HM) a existência de níveis pressóricos aumentados fora do consultório em pessoas supostamente normotensas e não tratadas. A hipertensos medicados, aplica-se a denominação de “hipertensão mascarada não controlada” (HMNC). Estas condições expõem expressivo contingente de indivíduos a um risco não identificado para eventos cardiovasculares. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura a fim de identificar os principais estudos de associação entre HM, HMNC e o risco de eventos cardiovasculares. De um total de 566 estudos, 19 foram incluídos na revisão. Dentre estes, apenas 4 não documentaram associação entre HM/HMNC e maior risco cardiovascular. Um estudo observou apenas associação com risco de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) e outro apenas com o risco de acidente cerebrovascular (AVC). Os demais 13 estudos mostraram relação entre presença de HM e/ou HMNC e maior risco de eventos cardiovasculares como AVC, IAM e/ou morte. Em conclusão, existe associação entre a presença de hipertensão mascarada e o aumento no risco de eventos cardiovasculares. Alguns fenótipos especialmente vulneráveis e possíveis estratégias diagnósticas são também objeto de discussão.
METHOD TO ACHIEVE SECURITY AND STORAGE SERVICES IN CLOUD COMPUTING
Authors: HUSSAIN SYED SADDAM , KUMAR R.VINOD
Published: January 2021

Cloud storage enables users to remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications without the burden of local hardware and software management. Though the benefits are clear, such a service is also relinquishing users ‘physical possession of their outsourced data, which inevitably poses new security risks toward the correctness of the data in cloud. In order to address this new problem and further achieve a secure and dependable cloud storage service, we propose in this paper a flexible distributed storage integrity auditing mechanism, utilizing the homomorphism token and distributed erasure-coded data. The proposed design allows users to audit the cloud storage with very lightweight communication and computation cost. The auditing result not only ensures strong cloud storage correctness guarantee, but also simultaneously achieves fast data error localization, i.e., the identification of misbehaving server. Considering the cloud data are dynamic in nature, the proposed design further supports secure and efficient dynamic operations on outsourced data, including block modification, deletion, and append. Analysis shows the proposed scheme is highly efficient and resilient against Byzantine failure, malicious data modification attack, and even server colluding attacks)

A NOVEL MULTIPHASE BIDIRECTIONAL FLY-BACK CONVERTER TOPOLOGY IS APPLIED TO INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVE
Authors: RAO M.RAMA MOHANA , RAMBABU CH.
Published: January 2021

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is an emerging technology in the modern world because of the fact that it mitigates environmental pollutions and at the same time increases fuel efficiency of the vehicles. Bi-directional Fly – back Converter controls electric drive of HEV of high power and enhances its performance which is the reflection of the fact that it can generate Constant voltages. For hybrid electric vehicles, the batteries and the drive dc link may be at different voltages. The batteries are at low voltage to obtain higher volumetric efficiencies, and the dc link is at higher voltage to have higher efficiency on the motor side. Therefore, a power interface between the batteries and the drive’s dc link is essential. This power interface should handle power flow from battery to motor, motor to battery, external gen-set to battery, and grid to battery. This paper proposes a multi-power-port topology which is capable of handling multiple power sources and still maintains simplicity and features like obtaining high gain, wide load variations, lower output-current ripple, and capability of parallel-battery energy due to the modular structure. The scheme incorporates a transformer winding technique which drastically reduces the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor. The development and testing of a bidirectional fly-back dc–dc converter for hybrid electric vehicle is described in this paper.

Les tumeurs neuroendocrines (TNE) constituent un groupe des tumeurs susceptibles de naitre en tout point de l’organisme. Ces tumeurs sont rares. Bien que ceux-ci soient généralement associés au tractus gastro-intestinal, au pancréas et au poumon, des cas gynécologiques ont également été rapportés, Parmi celles-ci, les TNE ovariennes qui sont extrêmement rares. Seuls 15% d'entre eux existeraient sous forme pure, le reste présentant des composants tératomateux tels que des struma ovarii ou des kystes dermoïdes. Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente âgée 36ans présentant un carcinome neuroendocrine primitif bilatérale de l’ovaire, confirmé par immuno- histochimiques, pour lequel une réduction chirurgicale optimale et une chimiothérapie a été réalisée. Nous insistons à travers cette observation et sous la lumière de la revue de la littérature sur les aspects épidémiologiques, morphologiques, immunohistochimiques et le défi diagnostic posé par ces tumeurs rares.

Introduction. Les plaies pénétrantes du cou par flèche, quoique rares maintenant, peuvent être rencontrées dans certaines zones rurales de pays en développement, où l’accès aux soins hospitaliers demeure difficile. Observation. Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient congolais de 40 ans qui a consulté pour suppuration cervicale profonde, six mois après un traumatisme du cou par une flèche artisanale. L’exploration chirurgicale, après traitement antibiotique, a permis d’extraire le corps étranger vulnérant. L’évolution était favorable. Conclusion. Les plaies pénétrantes du cou par flèche artisanale nécessitent une prise en charge hospitalière précoce et adéquate par une équipe chirurgicale expérimentée afin d’éviter des suites compliquées voire désastreuses.
A case of pulmonary embolism after recovery in a patient with COVID-19
Authors:   Service de réanimation polyvalente, CHU Tizi-Ouzou Algérie, Benhocine Yacine
Published: January 2021

La maladie à Coronavirus (COVID-19) dans sa forme grave est souvent associée à une incidence élevée de coagulopathies et de thromboses, dans les dix premiers jours, qui justifie l’intérêt de prévenir les complications thromboemboliques notamment l’embolie pulmonaire (EP), en cours d’hospitalisation. Nous rapportons ici le cas d’un patient guéri d’une pneumonie à SARS-CoV-2 compliquée d’un syndrome de détresse respiratoire aigu ayant présenté une embolie pulmonaire (EP) à 11 jours de sa sortie de la réanimation du CHU Tizi-Ouzou. Cette rare observation pose le problème de la nécessité de la surveillance étroite des patients guéris, de la poursuite du traitement anticoagulant après la sortie d’hospitalisation.

Le Zona est une infection virale aiguë, sporadique et douloureuse chez les personnes âgées, causée par la réactivation du virus de la varicelle-zona latent. C’est une affection dermatologique fréquente qui affecte jusqu'à 20 % de la population, le plus souvent impliquant les dermatomes thoraciques et faciaux avec des lésions sacrées. L'herpès zoster affectant le creux poplité est une pathologie rare. La nature ambiguë de cette condition crée un dilemme diagnostique. Nous rapportons l’observation d’une patiente âgée ayant présenté une localisation exceptionnelle du zona : le creux poplité. C’est le premier cas décrit du zona du creux poplité confirmé par la PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) avec des caractéristiques distinctives secondaires chez une femme âgée.

On today’s world prices of houses are keep on changing very frequently which proves that house prices are often overstated. There are various factors that must be taken into deliberation for predicting house prices such as number of rooms, carpet area, and other basic local amenities. By using XGBoost, Light GBM and CatBoost Boosting algorithm to predict house prices based on real-time data which is extracted using Robotic Process Automation. Automate the tasks of data extraction can be done by Robotic Process Automation. The data generated by RPA is inconsistent, hence data is get cleaned and made consistent before feeding to appropriate Machine Learning model. After data cleaning process model is created and accuracy is get achieved [1].
A revista Tricontinental e a construção do Terceiro Mundo: conceito, itinerâncias e sensibilidades
Authors: Generoso Lídia Maria de Abreu
Published: January 2021

Na segunda metade do século XX, o Terceiro Mundo emergiu como uma importante categoria política, orientando formas de se estar e situar em relação ao mundo, como atestado pela Conferência Tricontinental realizada na Havana de 1966. Este trabalho estuda uma publicação fundada pelo encontro, a revista Tricontinental, com o objetivo de compreender seus esforços para tecer os laços políticos e discursivos que deveriam unir essa coletividade. Para essa construção do Terceiro Mundo, a revista mobilizou debates teóricos e figurações narrativas, além de engendrar redes transnacionais de solidariedade. Nas páginas da publicação, o conceito de Terceiro Mundo ganhou contornos multifacetados e se entrelaçou a aportes teóricos como a Teoria da Dependência e as apropriações do marxismo por movimentos de libertação nacional. Figurações compartilhadas – como o oximoro no relato dos antagonismos coloniais ou o tom heroico das narrativas sobre a luta armada e seus protagonistas – demonstram as elaborações simbólicas e dimensões sensíveis desse empreendimento. Em seus bastidores, por sua vez, o processo de edição da Tricontinental permite constatar o papel da publicação em ter engendrado itinerâncias e redes intelectuais que conectaram intelectuais e militantes ao redor do globo. O Terceiro Mundo, portanto, esteve intimamente relacionado com a Tricontinental, não só na medida em que mobilizou sua fundação, mas também por que viria a ser ele próprio construído por esse projeto editorial.
Utopia without us?
Authors: Simon Zoltán Boldizsár
Published: January 2021

As the prospect of self-authored human extinction increasingly appears as a plausible scenario of human futures, a growing number of efforts aim at comprehending it as the prospect of the world without us. Patrícia Vieira convincingly shows in her essay on utopia and dystopia in the Anthropocene that utopianism has become a prominent interpretive strategy to render the possibility of human extinction meaningful. This brief reflection argues against the feasibility of considering the world without us in utopian terms. It identifies three tacit assumptions in utopian interpretations of our disappearance: they (1) take for granted that prospects of human extinction and post-apocalyptic themes are of the same kind; (2) presume that the biological character of human extinction needs no special attention when situating it with the social character of utopian thinking; and (3) remain committed to an anthropocentric view in assuming that we are the ones to attribute meaning even to the world defined by our absence. In challenging these assumptions, the essay develops three theses on the relation of utopia and the prospect of the world without us.

The journey of humanity has begun with a man and a woman. Their descendants also spread from them. Woman breeds the human race with her blood while children's care, home management, preparation of food and clothes have been remained in her duties. Animals hunting and trade have always been done by man because he is forceful. But this difference of the strength between them had become the standard of honor and humility in past history. Therefore, he has given high status but due to her weakness, the status of the woman was considered very low. So, from the ancient times man has also deprived her for the basic rights, from which every human being must possess. Peace is the alternate name of security. Thus a prosperous human society comes into existence where there is a clear and mutually harmonious relationship among entire its people. The feminist part is called a spinal cord of society, if they come forward in this field to improve the work of reform, unite each other with the concept of every correction, the destination of our society will be reversed. And then, in reality, the society will become a practical model of peace. Hence it can be called a reformed and welfare community. In this article, problems relating to Muslim women in peace and reform in Pakistan will be discussed in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Its detail can be seen in internal pages.

Küreselleşen dünyada değişik bilimsel alanların birbirleriyle etkileşimine bağımlı olarak uluslararası kamu hukukunda değişim ve gelişim kaçınılmaz olmaktadır. Bu itibarla, son zamanlardaki gelişmeler uyarınca sağlık uluslararası kamu hukuku alanında yeni bir alt dal olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Türlerin devamının bağlı olduğu sağlık, uygarlığın doğuşundan beri insan hayatı için temel bir etken olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu minvalde, devletler sözde küresel sağlık diplomasisini etkileyebilecek sağlık politikalarını küresel olarak geliştirmektedirler. Bu bağlamda, tıbbî ataşeler, hem bireysel olarak devletlerin sağlık politikalarında, hem de küresel olarak küresel sağlık diplomasisinde en etkili araçlardan birisi olarak nitelendirilebileceklerdir. Dolayısıyla, bu makalenin amacı bir devlet misyonunun üyesi olarak tıbbî ataşenin statüsünü kısaca araştırmak olacaktır.

Entre emprendedores culturales e inversores inmobiliarios: crowdfunding en España 2015-2019
Authors: Gil Moreno Elena
Published: January 2021

Este artículo aborda algunas de las características del sector del crowdfunding en España, haciendo una comparativa entre datos primarios de 2015 y 2019. A través de este estudio observamos cómo el crowdfunding ha ido dejando parte de su cultura colaborativa para convertirse en un sector financiero fuertemente influido por las empresas inmobiliarias. Al observar esta nueva cara del sector es lógico cuestionarse si el crowdfunding es realmente un fenómeno colaborativo. Los resultados han sido obtenidos a raíz de una investigación iniciada en 2014, que se encuentra en permanente actualización.
