Hyperglycemia as a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease Post- Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Authors: NK Mohammad
Published: April 2024

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to a surge in research examining its long-term health consequences. Among these sequelae, cardiovascular complications have emerged as significant concerns, particularly in individuals with pre-existing or post-infection hyperglycemia. This review aims to explore the association between hyperglycemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the post-acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection. A systematic search of electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant studies published between January 2020 and March 2024. Keywords included "hyperglycemia," "cardiovascular disease," "SARS-CoV-2," "COVID-19," "post-acute sequelae," and variations thereof. Studies focusing on the association between hyperglycemia and CVD in the context of post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection were included. Hyperglycemia, both pre-existing and as a consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular complications in the post-acute phase. Mechanistically, hyperglycemia contributes to endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and dyslipidemia, all of which are implicated in the pathogenesis of CVD. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 infection exacerbates these pathways, further predisposing individuals to CVD. The association between hyperglycemia and CVD in the post-acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection underscores the importance of glycemic control in mitigating long-term cardiovascular complications. Healthcare providers should prioritize screening for hyperglycemia in COVID-19 survivors and implement interventions aimed at managing blood glucose levels to reduce the burden of CVD in this population. Future research should focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms linking hyperglycemia and CVD post-SARS-CoV-2 infection and evaluating the efficacy of targeted interventions in preventing cardiovascular sequelae.
LITERARY MEMES AS BIBLIOTHERAPY FOR FILIPINO ESL PRESERVICE TEACHERS’ EMERGENCY REMOTE LEARNING
Authors: Bañez Richard Mendoza
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a swift transition to emergency remote teaching, impacting students and educators’ well-being. To address these challenges, literary memes emerged, combining literary references with humour or poignant commentary, engaging students, and conveying meaningful insights or coping strategies. Despite their prevalence, their efficacy as bibliotherapy tools remains underexplored. This study investigated the potential of literary memes in promoting well-being and enhancing the learning experience during times of crisis. Focused on 64 English as a Second Language (ESL) Filipino preservice teachers, the study explored their preferences and perceived value of literary memes, ascertaining their exposure and assessment of this emerging literary genre as potential bibliotherapy. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis, while quantitative data underwent statistical analysis, including measures such as mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient (r), and t-tests. Findings indicated that ESL preservice teachers preferred memes creatively linked to literature, maintaining a moderate level of exposure, using them to forge emotional connections with peers and family. These memes, abundant in literary references, provided entertainment and moderately contributed to bibliotherapy, as confirmed by the values of Pearson r and t-tests, calling for their integration into ESL teacher education programs to foster engagement and well-being among preservice teachers.

Authors: Angkasa Dudung , Iswarawanti Dwi Nastiti , Santika Otte
Published: April 2024

Background: Chronic energy deficiency is strongly associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Food taboo and dietary diversity are suspected as main risk factors of chronic energy deficient in pregnant women in rural area. Nevertheless, none studies elaborated the inferential relationship of those factors with chronic energy deficiency during pregnancy.
Purpose: to describe dietary diversity score and perception of food taboo and examine it association with chronic energy deficiency prevalence in pregnant women in a rural area
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 178 pregnant women aged 15-45 years. Food taboo and dietary diversity scores was drawn from single 24 hours food recall while the perceived reason of food taboo was assessed by focus group discussion. Chronic energy deficiency was determined by mid-upper arm circumference by standard tape. Food taboo and dietary diversity score interaction was generated and binary logistic regression analysis with Î±= 5% and 95% confidence interval were performed to provide adjusted associations
Results: Almost half of respondents had food taboo (43.8%) and had low dietary diversity score (43%) while one of fifth (19.7%) of respondent were chronic energy deficient. Those with food taboo and low dietary diversity were two times more likely to suffer from chronic energy deficiency. However, only pregnancy related factor (parity) was associated significantly with the outcome.
Conclusions: Although the relationship between food taboo and chronic energy deficiency was not statistically significant, pregnant mother with food taboo should be encouraged to have a cultural-specific health and nutrition education.
The Use of Products from Leonardite to Improve Soil Quality in Condition of Climate Change
Authors: Pikuła Dorota
Published: April 2024

The principle of sustainable fertilisation in modern agriculture, which ensures that the soil is maintained in a fertile state requires the search for alternatives to manure fertilisation for products based on humic substances to increase the organic matter content of soils.The advantage of leonardite over conventional natural and organic fertilisers is mainly due to its high content of organic matter and humic substances (humic and fulvic acids). Leonardite, due to the presence of humic acids in it, can be suitable for soil amendment and yield of barley. In the conducted studies, the yield increase after adding Rosahumus fertilizer to the soil at a rate of 6 kg.ha−1 + NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasssium) was found to be 11% compared to the control (NPK).There were no changes in the Corg. content of the soil as a result of the application of Rosahumus fertilizer with NPK. The fertilizer only slightly modified the fractional composition of humus. In the future, we should expect an increase in the use of leonardite-derived humic substances in fertilizers and soil conditioners to stabilize soil organic matter.

This study aimed to assess the impact of the identified phenolic, flavonoid, and fat-soluble vitamin compounds found in Caesalpinia coriaria fruits (EC) aqueous extract on growth performance, helminth parasitic load, feeding behavior, and physiological variables in lambs. The fruits were extracted using water, and three doses of the extract as no extract (EC0 mL/lamb/day), 30 mL of aqueous extract of Caesalpinia coriaria fruits (EC30 mL/lamb/day), or 60 mL of aqueous extract of Caesalpinia coriaria fruits (EC60 mL/lamb/day) were orally administered to 24 growing crossbred lambs weighing 18-20 kg for 60 days. The HPLC analysis revealed that ferulic acid, ellagic acid, syringic acid, quercetin, and hesperidin were the predominant compounds in Caesalpinia coriaria fruits. Additionally, water-soluble vitamin compounds such as thiamine, pantothenic acid, and niacin were detected in the Caesalpinia coriaria fruit extract. The dietary administration of EC improved (P < 0.05) average daily gain and feed and water intake. EC30 lambs spent more time (P < 0.03) eating and less time ruminating. The aqueous extract also showed a dose-dependent reduction (P = 0.048) in fecal parasite egg count, with a steady decrease (P = 0.0001) as the extract was applied. EC0 lambs exhibited the highest (P < 0.0001) respiratory frequency and EC30 the lowest. A strong positive correlation was identified between rectal and abdomen temperature in the morning and afternoon measurements. The presence of phenolic and antioxidants in the aqueous extract of C. coriaria, up to 60 mL, demonstrated beneficial effects, including improved productivity, anti-parasitic activity, and mitigation of body temperature. Thus, farmers without access to synthetic drugs can use this plant extract to treat their animals during fattening to reduce gastrointestinal parasites, improve growth rate, and reduce drug residue in animal products. Further studies need to be carried out on the individual components of Caesalpinia coriaria fruits to ascertain their effect on body temperature/physiology and to know if the effects are individualistic or synergistic.

This study investigates the presence of Trichuris trichiura eggs in soil samples collected from urban areas in Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 3600 soil samples were collected over two years from Lahore’s urban regions. The detection of helminth eggs in these samples was performed using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as a diagnostic technique. The study reveals an overall prevalence rate of T. trichiura at 0.97 % (35 out of 3600) in the contaminated soil samples from Lahore’s slum areas. When analyzing the data by geographical areas, the study found the highest prevalence of T. trichiura in Allama Iqbal Town (1.83 %, 11 out of 600), followed by Samanabad (1.16 %, 7 out of 600), Wapda Town (1.00 %, 6 out of 600), Gulberg (1.00 %, 6 out of 600), and Cantt (0.50 %, 3 out of 600). Conversely, Valencia Town had the lowest prevalence rate at 0.33 % (2 out of 600). However, these variations in prevalence rates were not statistically significant (p = 0.117). Prevalence rates of T. trichiura’s eggs varied significantly across different sampling seasons (p>0.001). In autumn, a total of 900 soil samples were collected, with 19 samples (2.11 %) testing positive for T. trichiura. This rate was notably higher compared to the prevalence rates observed in winter, spring, and summer, which were 0.66 %, 0.22 %, and 0.88 %, respectively. Regarding the sampling months, the study observed a significantly higher prevalence during September (3.33 %, 10 out of 300), followed by October (2.33 %, 7 out of 300), and August (1.33 %, 4 out of 300). Prevalence rates gradually decreased in other months, ranging from 1 % to 0.33 % (3 to 1 out of 300), with no parasite detection in March (0 %, 0 out of 300) (p < 0.001). This research underscores soil contamination due to fecal waste and highlights public unawareness of parasite biology, driven by open defecation practices.

The air pollution of our planet is rising, and the contribution of road transport to global pollution has a serious impact on this phenomenon. Previous papers have analysed and recommended measures to reduce road transport’s negative environmental impact and carbon footprint. However, some restrictions are impossible (or very costly) to meet, even in developed countries. Unfortunately, presenting the impact of transport on air pollution levels as a whole can only give a general picture. This paper provides a more detailed analysis and attempts to assess the impact of one of the most important elements shaping modern transport, that is, vehicle engine types. Thus, the main objective of the study is to analyse and evaluate the different types of engines in vehicles from the point of view of technical, environmental, and economic aspects in European countries and to verify whether Europe is ready to implement the European Green Deal. The results indicate significant technological developments must occur in electric vehicles to become environmentally better than combustion engine-based cars. Additionally, in the case of some developing countries, owning a means of transport is still perceived as a symbol of a certain status, which is why it is still an important material asset. Thus, in rich countries, material status and environmental awareness (e.g. choice of public transport) will help to achieve climate neutrality, while poorer countries (even developed ones) may have severe problems in meeting EU requirements. Overall, while answering some questions, this article also poses new ones. Decision-makers often face challenging aspects. This article is intended to give them a basic knowledge to pursue an environmental policy that is viable and feasible for all countries.

Published: April 2024

Meat is a highly nutritious food of animal origin, but it is prone to spoilage if handled poorly. Wrapping is a traditional method to preserve meat from spoilage. This study aims to determine the difference between meat wrapped in teak leaves, banana leaves and without wrapping at room temperature. The object of this study was broiler breast meat. The treatment of meat is wrapping with teak leaves, banana leaves and not wrapped as a control. Data on meat quality was analysed comparatively. The results of the analysis showed that there were significant differences in the quality of all parameters of broiler meat quality. The test results showed that broiler meat without wrapping experienced a faster decrease in pH when compared to teak leaf and banana leaf wrapping. It can be concluded that maintaining the quality of broiler meat should not be placed at room temperature for more than 6 hours. The use of banana leaves and teak leaves can be used as meat wrappers to maintain meat quality for up to 12 hours. Further research needs to be done on the mechanism of meat wrapping in maintaining the quality of chicken meat at room temperature

Authors: Sarmento Thaís Lira de Figueiredo , Meurer Sara , Bellen Hans Michael van , Petri Sérgio Murilo
Published: April 2024

Objective: This paper aims to map the characteristics of the international scientific literature that address the fragment of literature related to the performance measurement of the circular economy (CE) practices inserted in the companies.
 
Theoretical Framework The bibliographic portfolio defines the characteristics of literature regarding circular economy practices and how they can be evaluated.
 
Method: We analyzed the basic and advanced variables based on the 54 papers from the bibliographic portfolio selected by the research instrument ProKnow-C.
 
Results and Discussion: We then identified that: i) there is no collaboration network between authors on the subject since it is an emergent research field; ii) the origin of the authors who research the most about the subject is the United Kingdom (UK) and the highlighted institution is the brazilian University of São Paulo (USP); iii) the (internal) organizational issues act as the main driver and as a barrier at the same time, considering the complexity to insert CE in a holistic and non-fragmented manner within the organization.
 
Research Implications: The results provide practical contributions in guiding organizations with key mechanisms that can be used to evaluate circular economy practices.
 
Originality/Value: The obtained results hold significant value for the academic community by identifying gaps in the assessment of circular economy performance. These findings pave the way for proposing advancements in circular economy practices, thus contributing to the progression of the field.

Authors: Wubben Brandon , Dandashi Jad , Rizvi Omar , Adhikari Srikar
Published: April 2024

Background: Emergency physicians commonly perform ultrasound-assisted abdominal , using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to identify and select a site for needle insertion. However, ultrasound-guided has the benefit of real-time needle visualization during the entire procedure. Our objective was to characterize the performance of emergency physician-performed ultrasound-guided using POCUS, their ability to achieve good in-plane needle visualization, and factors associated with procedural success. Methods: A POCUS database was retrospectively reviewed for examinations where abdominal was performed by an emergency physician at two academic urban emergency departments over a six-year period. Medical records were reviewed for demographics, presenting history, complications, and hospital course. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Results: 131 patients were included in the final analysis. The success rate for ultrasound-guided was 97.7% (84/86, 95% CI 92-100%) compared to 95.6% (43/45, 95% CI 85-99%) for ultrasound-assisted (p = .503). 58% (50/86) demonstrated good in-plane needle visualization; 17% (15/86) had partial or out-of-plane visualization; and 24% (21/86) did not demonstrate needle visibility on their saved POCUS images. All four procedural failures were performed by first- or second-year residents using a transducer, while all procedures using a linear transducer were successful. The most common complications were leak, infection at the site, and minor bleeding. Conclusions: Emergency physicians with training in real-time needle guidance with ultrasound were able to use POCUS to perform ultrasound-guided in the emergency department with a high success rate and no fatal complications. Based on our experience, we recommend performing ultrasound-guided using a linear transducer, with attention to identifying vessels near the procedure site and maintaining sterile technique.

Published: April 2024

Ischemic colitis is the most common form of gastrointestinal ischemia . The diagnosis of ischemic colitis is made by clinical data and computed tomography (CT) imaging of the abdomen and pelvis . While colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, this is not performed in the emergency department (ED) . Few studies have been performed to describe the sonographic findings of ischemic colitis using point of care ultrasound (POCUS). We report a case that highlights the sonographic findings of ischemic colitis in a patient who had two separate visits to the ED, showcasing the utility of POCUS in making this diagnosis. POCUS can be used as a diagnostic tool for early detection of ischemic colitis leading to prompt treatment with antibiotics, CT imaging, and surgical consultation.

A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF DEIXIS IN POLITICAL SPEECHES Donald Trump UN General Assembly Speech: A Case Study
Authors: Abdurrahman Israa B. , Abdurrahman Ruqaya B.
Published: April 2024

Deictic expressions are important in language because they help speakers and listeners to realize the meaning of words and phrases in relation to the context in which they are used. By relying on shared contextual knowledge, deictic expressions allow for more efficient and effective communication. Deictic expressions are identified and analyzed according to Levinson’s (1983) and Crystal’s (2008). This study aims to explain the deixis utilized in Donald Trump's 2018 speech to the UN General Assembly which serves as the research's primary source of data. Accordingly, this study hypothesizes that Trump utilizes a variety of deictic expressions to maintain his communication, and that these expressions have a pragmatic effect on behalf of the listener. Based on data analysis, this research identifies (5) categories of deixis in Donald Trump's speech to the UN General Assembly: discourse deixis, social deixis, time/ temporal deixis, person deixis, and place, spatial deixis. There are 344 deictic expressions in this discourse. The deixis that Donald Trump uses most often, namely, personal deixis, has a frequency of 279 (81%). Overall, the deictic expressions used by Trump in his UN General Assembly Speech serve a number of purposes, including creating a sense of unity and shared responsibility, emphasizing American interests and values, drawing attention to key issues, and conveying a sense of urgency. By using these expressions effectively, Trump was able to appeal to his audience and make his message more memorable and impactful.
