Impact of economic disruptions and disease experiences on COVID-19 vaccination uptake in Asia: A study in Malaysia
Authors: Wagner Abram L. , Rajamoorthy Yogambigai , Taib Niazlin M.
Published: August 2021

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, individuals have had a variety of experiences with the disease and economic disruptions in Asia. We assessed how these experiences could impact COVID-19 vaccination intent and uptake in one of the Asian country, Malaysia. Two opt-in internet-based cross-sectional samples were collected: a March wave (26 March – 7 April 2021) and a June wave (22 June – 10 July 2021). Individuals were asked about their vaccination status, their employment status, and their experience with COVID-19 cases. The impact of economic disruptions and experiences with COVID-19 on COVID-19 vaccination was assessed through a multivariable, multinomial logistic regression model. Among 1,493 participants (735 in March and 758 in June wave), 26% were already vaccinated, 57% planned to vaccinate, and 17% had no plan to vaccinate. The number who had lost a job or earned less because of the pandemic was 30% in March and 36% in June. Across both waves, 5%-6% had a personal, very serious experience of COVID-19, 13%-16% knew of a family member or friend with a very serious experience of COVID-19, and 43%-61% knew of a very serious COVID-19 case through media. Notably, compared to those who worked the same amount throughout the pandemic, those who lost their job had lower odds of already being vaccinated (OR: 0.37; 95%CI: 0.23, 0.59), but similar odds of planning to become vaccinated. Personal, family/friend, and media experiences were also all related to increased odds of planning to vaccinated or being already vaccinated. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to large disruptions in people’s lives. People’s experiences during the pandemic impact their likelihood of being vaccinated or planning to vaccinate against COVID-19. Equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccines will require outreach to groups with less stable employment and can leverage people’s experiences with disease during the pandemic.

Published: August 2021

Background: Non-atherosclerotic processes are regarded as equally important contributors to a substantial number of coronary problems mainly myocardial infarction. This includes coronary spasm which has been considered as one of the coronary syndromes leading to myocardial infarction. These non-atherosclerotic events ensuing in major averse cardiac events (MACE) not only require various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies but also there is a need to delineate the underlying etiology for their effective treatment and management. Case Summary: We report a case of anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) driven by a non-atherosclerotic event i.e. coronary spasm. Concomitant marked ST-segment elevation recorded on ECG revealed a diffuse mid distal disease in our patient. We report here the initial presentation, coronary care & intervention and throughout the clinical course of our patient. Conclusion: Myocardial infarctionsinvolving non-atherosclerotic causes in young individuals as in our study should be reported by medical practitioners and given equal importance as they might indicate the underlying root cause of such events. Effective treatment of such future cases can be done by taking management strategies, diagnostic findings and prognostic data into consideration.
THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE FIELD OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: N. Hrabar , N. Leonenko , S. Poroka
Published: August 2021

The article is assigned to the researcheses of problems of public administration in the national security from the point of view of retrospective analysis. The emphasis is on respect for the fact that the state policy in the spheres of national security and defense is focused on the defense of the most important rights, legal interests and guarantees, in particular, man and citizen - their life and dignity, constitutional rights and freedoms, safe living conditions; society - its democratic values, prosperity and conditions for sustainable development; the state - its constitutional order, sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability; territory, environment - from emergencies. The outlined postulates occupy a prominent place in domestic legislation and become a fundamental basis for the implementation of various programs and concepts aimed at their practical implementation in public life. At the same time, in order to achieve the outlined aspects, the question of the theoretical foundations of public administration of national security in the context of retrospective analysis shall be important.
Based on the results of doctrinal and comprehensive research, it is concluded that the theoretical and methodological difficulties of the retrospective concept of "national security" also allow us to conclude that it is expedient to consider not only the concept of "security" but also the concepts of "nation" and "nationalism" to find out what meaning is embedded in the concepts of "national interests" and "national values". Therefore, an important step that to some extent allows us to reach a consensus on the concept of "national security" is to consider the concept of "nation" and the phenomenon of the phenomenon called "nationalism". At the same time, the isolation of certain factors in the context of national security should be considered a temporary aspect, as it is only possible to assert the priority of certain national interests in these areas in a historical period of society and state, and hence the corresponding priority ensuring their implementation. Moreover, the long-term preference of one or another area under certain conditions may even be a threat to national security. Ignoring national interests in other areas ultimately leads first to a reduction in the potential of the state, and then to an integrated level of national security. The advantage that can be given to one or another sphere of national security is justified only under certain extraordinary conditions.

Introduction: Health professionals (HP) are frequently exposed to a high number of hazards at the workplace. Consequently, low ratings for their well-being and satisfaction with health care may adversely affect the quality of health services they provide. This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and determine the effects of socio-demographic variables on HRQOL across HP in a tertiary health institution in Nigeria, a low-middle-income economy. Method: This was a cross-sectional survey of 385 HP purposively recruited from different units of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Ile-Ife, Nigeria. All respondents completed the Medical Outcomes Study short-form (SF-36) questionnaire. Also, the socio-demographic information on the respondents was obtained. Descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentages; and inferential statistics of independent t-test and one way ANOVA was used to analyze data. Alpha level was set at p<0.05. Results: Respondents comprised 273 males and 112 females. They scored well above the cut-off point of 50 in most subscales with higher physical (80.95±12.03) than mental (67.58±7.88) component score on SF-36. There were significant differences between gender in favour of male respondents with the highest mean score across each of the age groups, educational and professional qualifications (p<0.01) on most subscales. Conclusion: There are considerable inequalities in HRQOL among HP in this study. These inequalities are gender-biased and favour professionals with post-graduate degree. Findings from this study are comparable to other climes and advocate support for female HP, those on low cadre and higher degree training.

Published: August 2021

Cassava is one of the most important socio-economic crops in the world. It is usually cultivated in soils with low fertility and little mechanization, which makes it difficult to increase the crop's productivity and, consequently, economic gains. The aim of this study was to evaluate different types of fertilization (Poultry litter, organomineral fertilizer and rooting) in cassava cultivation in the northwest region of the state of Paraná - Brazil. After 10 months of planting, the variables evaluated were: number of roots, root diameter, root length, shoot height, starch yield and shoot fresh weight. The results were submitted to mean test, principal component analysis and Pearson's R correlation analysis. The results showed that poultry litter presented the best result in practically all the evaluated variables, followed by rooting, which promoted the highest number of roots; in addition, with the exception of the number of roots, all other variables were highly correlated.

Common plants used in the treatment of typhoid fever, their active components and toxicity related issues: A review
Authors: Akwa Teh Exodus , Nguimbous Simone Pierrette
Published: August 2021

Plants and their extracts are a primary source of health care in most communities. The usage of plants in the treatment of diseases has been observed in ancient times and still applicable in the present. Plants extracts are used due to their easy availability and affordability. Some of these extracts are being sold locally in markets while others manufactured and used in household settings. Most often, the producers of these extracts do not show proof of safety and efficacy before marketing these products. Consequently, the negative effects and the downside following the consumption of these products remain unknown. Moreover, the plant extracts are not regulated for purity and potency. Impurities present and the potency of the plant products might also contribute significantly to adverse effects following consumption. Typhoid fever has been one of the disease in which most developing countries especially in Africa, resort to the usage of traditional methods involving plant extracts in its treatment. Various research carried out have documented the anti-typhoid activity of these extracts on the basis of zone of inhibition against the pathogen. There is however scarcity of information on the bioactive components possessed by these plants. This paper reviews the common plants used in the treatment of typhoid fever, active components and risk following their indiscriminate usage. The review is composed by literature search on herbal plants for typhoid fever obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar. Knowledge of these active components will help effectively standardize the safe dose needed in the disease treatment

Introduction: Incidence of pediatric pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) is rare. This study reviews the experience of anastomotic urethroplasty surgery in children and adolescence PFUI in the last 3 years in two center of reconstructive urethral surgery in Indonesia.
Method: This study retrospectively reviewed PFUI cases in Hasan Sadikin Hospital and Saiful Anwar Hospital from 2013-2016. The data cases were analysed base on aetiology of the trauma, urethral gap, and previous operations. The operation time and intra operative additional procedure to achieve tension free anastomotic was also noted.
Result: A total 31 children and adolescence patients with PFUI were recorded in two institutions. Twenty patients were in Hasan Sadikin Hospital while 11 patients were in Saiful Anwar Hospital. The trauma mechanisms for PFUI were 28 (90.3%) cases due to motorcycle accidents and 3 (9.7%) cases due to high falls accidents. All patients underwent delayed urethral reconstruction in median 6 months (3-72). The median operation time was 150±101 minutes for children and 160±50.5 minutes for adolescence. The average length of the urethral gap in children cases was 2.8±1.2 cm, meanwhile 4±1.9 cm for adolescence cases. In order to achieve the tension free of anastomotic urethroplasty, 5 (16.1%) of PFUI patients underwent crural separation, 16 (51.6%) patients underwent inferior pubectomy and 3 (9.7%) patients for supracrural re-routing. Posterior pubectomy with omental wrap via transpubic approach was performed in one patient. The success rate for children cases was 83.3% and 88% for adolescence cases. Thus, the overall success rate after anastomotic urethroplasty for pediatric PFUI was 83.9%.
Conclusions: In short-term follow up, delayed repair urethral reconstructive surgery by transperineal and transpubic anastomotic urethroplasty in children and adolescence with PFUI achieved a significant good result and showed promising outcome.
Interpretações distintas sobre ciência na China

Published: August 2021

Pouco se sabe sobre como se dá a problematização da ciência na China. Se a ciência não constitui uma dimensão alheia ao modo como se manifesta o pensamento de uma sociedade, voltar-se para a filosofia é crucial para progredir na questão científica. Todavia, o Ocidente, via de regra, desconhece grande parte da tradição filosófica chinesa ou a interpreta equivocadamente. Sabedor deste fato, este artigo objetiva analisar as contribuições de três intelectuais importantes, Marcel Granet, Karine Chemla e Christoph Harbsmeier, a fim de colocá-las em disputa no âmbito da sinologia. Almejamos assim superar preconceitos ocidentais quanto à inexistência de uma ciência legítima na China.

The design and management of assessment shapes student learning in ways often not
considered. Some academics tend to consider the modes of assessment as somewhat routine if
not an afterthought to the much more interesting task of selecting curriculum materials.
Likewise, it is surprising how so many studies of learning and teaching seem to overlook
student assessment, yet we know that students put assessment at the front and centre of their
thinking about their approaches to learning, perhaps more so in higher education where the
subject choices are greatest.
Meeting the challenges of assessing clinincal placement venues in a Bachelor of Nursing program
Authors: Penman J. , Oliver M.
Published: August 2021

Clinical learning is foundational to the University of South
Australia’s Bachelor of Nursing program and students are
expected to undertake a variety of clinical experiences
during the three-year program. The Discipline of Nursing
and Rural Health, in collaboration with academics,
clinicians and managers, developed an instrument to
evaluate contextual learning, involvement and reflection
of nursing students during clinical placements. Following
a simple research study using the instrument, it was
decided to continue such evaluation on an ongoing basis.
The instrument was found to be beneficial for students,
industry partners and academics in attaining feedback.
The purpose of this paper is threefold: to illustrate the
process by which the evaluative instrument was
developed, to report the results of the survey, and to
explore the positive learning outcomes that might result
with the use of the instrument.

This paper describes the action reflection learning approach adopted when teaching a mediation law course in an Australian law school. The approach and outcomes are described with specific attention to how this style of teaching enriches the student experience. Student reflections describe the teaching method as having developed their skills, learning and appreciation of a new conflict resolution advocacy style.
Internationalisation Of The Curriculum: Putting Theory Into Practice In A Physiotherapy Program
Authors: Das R.
Published: August 2021

Increasing numbers of international students studying
health sciences in Australia necessitates research into
appropriate ways to support cultural diversity in teaching.
International students commonly face problems in
adapting to culturally different education and health care
systems and this complicates the development of the
discipline specific skills that they have come to learn.
This paper presents a curriculum review of a course,
titled ‘Language and Communication in Physiotherapy’ in
a Physiotherapy Masters Program for international
students. The aim was to redevelop the course to better
align with principles of internationalisation of the
curriculum, seeking to ensure that the course did not
follow a deficit model of meeting international students’
needs. A philosophical shift was considered by staff and
led to a revision of course aims, content and assessment.
Instead of viewing students as having ‘gaps’ in
understanding or skills that needed to be patched up in
order to fit Australian norms, it was considered that the
chief aim of the course was to foster the development of
cultural competence. Course changes made as an
outcome of the review were evaluated and the outcomes
suggest that some of the changes were successful, whilst
others require further development. The process of
reflective practice followed in undertaking this review was
helpful not only in devising course content and
assessment changes useful to students’ learning, but
also in advancing the cultural competence of teachers
involved in the course.
Development of 'Boyles Law Apparatus' Teaching Aids for Thermodynamics Course: Innovation in Teaching Methodology
Authors: Basiran Mohd Fitri , Mohd Sharif Suhaila , Syed Mohd Zahari Sharifah Enne Suhaini
Published: August 2021

Teaching aids are among the most important instruments in providing effective delivery results as well as the best understanding to students. Therefore, this teaching aid should also be in the Thermodynamics course and among the topics whose concept is quite difficult to understand by students is Boyles Law in the topic of Perfect Gas. Boyle's law is used to explain the inverse relationship between pressure and gas volume at a constant temperature. This law states that when the pressure of the container is filled with increasing gas, then the total volume will decrease. Boyles' Law on the topic of Perfect Gas is also one of the important topics and it is the basis in Thermodynamics. This paper is about the development of Boyle's Law Apparatus (BLA) teaching aids (TA) for the DJJ20063 Thermodynamics course at Port Dickson Polytechnic which is an apparatus that can explain to students related to the basic concepts of Boyle's Law. In addition, this teaching aids can also help lecturers in providing a better understanding to students who take Thermodynamics courses. The production of this tool is not only used by lecturers in the theory class but also this tool can also be used for practical needs in the laboratory. In conclusion, a suitable apparatus for explaining Boyle's Law to students has been successfully designed and developed.

This study was conducted to explore the overall acceptance of evolution among undergraduate students in a State University as basis for developing a STEM-based instructional design to address the misconceptions about evolution. The research was conducted using the 20-item questionnaires of the Measurement of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) instrument assessing undergraduate students' acceptance of evolution in relations to; the process of evolution, the scientific validity of the evolutionary theory, the evolution of humans, evidence of evolution, scientific community's view of evolution and age of the Earth. The study is within a quantitative and qualitative framework using descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings revealed that all the colleges in the science group acquired a moderate level of acceptance except for the CED non-science group who received a low degree of acceptance of the theory of evolution. Although among the six concepts in the study, they generally agree on the statements and only in the idea on the age of the earth where the students were undecided. This research confirms that the level of acceptance is not positively related to the students' specialization. Based on the result of this study there is a need to develop a STEM based instructional design and this should be emphasized in the science curriculum. The teaching design will fill in the gaps in understanding concepts of evolution and its significance to the lives of many organisms and for the teachers to look evolution from very broad flexible and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Seed companies use vigor tests in their internal seed quality control procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to choose effective methods to obtain quick responses for making decisions related to the handling, disposal and marketing of seed lots. Thus, the objective of this work was to adapt a methodology for the accelerated aging test in soybean seeds. Sixty-nine lots were used and the experimental design used was completely randomized, with four replications. For the initial characterization of the lots, water content was determined, germination test and field emergence. The soybean seed lots selected based on the initial characterization, were submitted to the standard accelerated aging methodology and twenty-one adapted methodologies. After the physiological characterization of the 69 lots, 24 lots with similar germination with different levels of vigor were selected. For adapted methodologies that used only distilled water inside the gerbox box, there was an increase in the water content of the seeds of all analyzed lots. However, all methodologies with the use of saline solution had alower water content. The adapted methodologies N (pre-treatment in forced air oven at 35-40°C for two hours, BOD 42°C for 24 hours, using saline) and S (pre-treatment in forced air oven at 35-40°C for two hours, BOD 45°C for 12 hours, with the use of distilled water) are the most suitable for use in the accelerated aging test for soybean crops, as they present relevant results in a shorter evaluation period.

The age of the seedlings in the transplant, as well as the use of biostimulants in their production, are factors that can influence the good quality of the seedlings, which is fundamental for the good development of the plant, and can affect the yield of the tomato crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate plant development and fruit yield according to the age of tomato seedlings, during transplantation, whether or not treated with the Stimulate® biostimulant. The hybrid H9553 was used, and the experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with four replications, and ten plants were evaluated, per plot. The factorial scheme 2 x 6 was adopted, where 2 corresponds to the use or not of Stimulate®, and 6 corresponds to the age of the seedlings, in the transplant. Before transplantation, the height of the seedling, length of the root, stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh and dry mass of the aerial part and the root were evaluated at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 days after sowing. At 78 days after transplantation, the length of the main stem, stem diameter, number of fruits per plant, total fruit mass per plant and average fruit mass were evaluated. Seedlings with seventy days show superior results for the morphological characteristics, however, this does not interfere in the yield of the culture. The use of Stimulate®, alone or in interaction with the age of the seedlings, does not influence plant growth or fruit yield.
