Published: October 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma varredura da literatura vigente sobre o uso da aspirina para prevenção de pré-eclâmpsia. A pré-eclâmpsia é uma condição multissistêmica que se manifesta após a 20ª semana de gestação com elevação de pressão arterial e proteinúria em mulheres sem histórico prévio de hipertensão. Foram utilizados como motores de busca os indexadores Google Scholar, além do periódico CAPES por meio dos termos “aspirin”, “pre-eclampsia” e “prevention” entre os anos de 2018 a 2023. Os resultados demonstram que a aspirina é eficaz para prevenção de pré-eclâmpsia pré-termo em mulheres de alto risco, porém não apresenta eficácia em mulheres com doenças cardiovasculares prévias. A medicação deve ser administrada em doses acima de 100 mg à noite para melhor eficácia do tratamento.
Extreme Stream Flow in Hydrological Year 1965 in Bohemia
Authors: Balatka Břetislav , Sládek Jaroslav
Published: October 2023

In contrast to the preceding years 1963-1964 the hydrological year 1965 was characterized by extremely great stream flow. In the basin of the river Elbe it represents the fourth year with the greatest stream flow (from the viewpoint of annual average discharge) in the period 1850-1965 (after the years 1941, 1926, 1940). The annual average discharge on the Elbe in Děčín made 492 m3/s (i. e. 161 % of the long-time average). From the viewpoint of precipitation the hydrological year 1965 was also an above-average one (792 mm, i. e. 116 % of the long-time average). In the vegetation period 70 % of total precipitation in the hydrological year 1965 have fallen and in four months with the greatest stream flow (i. e. March till June) 62 % from the annual average discharge have flowed on the Elbe in Děčín, in June itself more than one fifth. Spring (i. e. March till May) with 277 mm orf precipitation (179 % of the normal) has contributed above all to extreme stream flow of the vegetation period and was the moistest one in the last 90 years. The period of abundant spring precipitation has followed immediately the period of the great melting of snow cover so that the high waterstages on the Bohemian rivers had the longterm character. Abundant precipitation in May (148 mm, 228 % of the normal, the moistest May in the period 1876-1965) and in June has caused several flood waves. In single cases the maximum flood was in July, owing to heavy downpours. October had the least stream flow and precipitation on the greatest territory of Bohemia. In the hydrological year 1965 in general the southern half of Bohemia was more humid than the northern one. From the viewpoint of the index of humidity by M. Konček (1955) the greater part of Bohemia was in the hydrological year 1965 humid, the highest parts of the border mountains perhumid, a little territory moistsubhumid.
Morphometrical Characteristic of the Morávka River Basin in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts.
Authors: Buzek Ladislav
Published: October 2023

Morphometrical data are important bases for geomorphological characteristic of a country; esp. valuable are these, which do not arrange schematically the country into smaller parts. The author worked out and expressed cartgraphically two morphometrical characteristics for the basin of the river Morávka, the right tributary of the river Ostravice in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. (i. e. the map of relative hights of crest lines above talwegs and the map of angles of slopes). He starts metodically from morphometrical characteristics of V. Paschinger (1934), A. I. Spiridonov (1952) and M. Blenk (1963). By comparison of these morphometrical maps with geological and geomorphological ones there were found out 3 morphometrical creas in the Morávka river basin. They simultaneously express the geomorphological resistance of flysch rock complex of this part of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts.

Comparative Study of UCC and UEW B.Ed JHS Visual Art Options as Initial Teacher Preparation for the New Creative Arts and Design Curriculum for JHS
Authors: Alhassan Hamza , Al-Hassan Bawa , Osei Mavis
Published: October 2023

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study, therefore, is to compare the developed JHS visual art curricula of the two universities (UCC and UEW) as being implemented in the colleges of education, vis-a-vis the new JHS Creative Arts and Design curriculum to find out which of the curricula covers all aspects of Creative Arts and Design in JHS. Methodology: The study adopted a qualitative research approach using document analysis and autoethnography as data collection instruments. Main Findings: The study found that whereas UCC offers a combined major of visual art, UEW offers visual art as a standalone programme but both models of visual art education do not meet the full complement of the Creative Arts and Design subject in the JHS because the performing art aspect is not catered for in both models. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study recommends that both curricula should be reviewed to factor in the performing art aspect of the JHS Creative Arts and Design subject to enable them to train teachers who are fit for purpose.
IS THERE ANY IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT ON THE MEDICAL STUDENT’S QUALITY OF LIFE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC?
Authors: Sigalingging Lydia Grace Natalia , Sinaga Bintang Yinke Magdalena
Published: October 2023

The Indonesian government implemented a policy called as the Enforcement of Limitations on Community Activities in response to the increasing risk of SARS CoV-2 transmission. As a result, medical students are dealing with a number of issues that lower their quality of life. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the quality of life of medical faculty students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a cross sectional design. The subjects were medical students who were undergoing pre-clinical and clinical education. Data collection was carried out using an online questionnaire in Google Form. Quality of life was examined using the WHOQOL-BREF, whereas depression, stress, and anxiety were examined using the DASS-21, and social support was examined using the MSPSS. Univariate and bivariate chi-square analysis were both used in the study. From 300 students, 122 students (40.7%) had families with chronic diseases, 130 students (43.3%) had families with reduced income, 190 students and family (63.3%) had a confirmed history of COVID-19, 83 students (27%) experienced stress, 145 students (48%) experienced anxiety, 125 students (42%) experienced depression, and 16 students (5.3%) had low social support. The results of the statistical analysis showed an association between chronic disease (p<0.05), family income (p<0.001), stress (p<0.05), anxiety (p<0.001), depression (p=<0.001), and social support (p=<0.001) with QOL. Medical students' lower quality of life is correlated with social support, psychological issues, and demographic characteristics. More consideration should be given to medical students with significant risk factors for poorer quality of life.
Individual Characteristics as Predictors of Program Completion of Ph.D. Students in Makerere University
Authors: Namutebi Abishag , Mugimu Christopher B , Balojja Tom Darlington
Published: October 2023

The long time to obtain a Ph.D. degree has been a source of contention (Skopek et al., 2022), and graduate schools worldwide are working to reduce the long time to degree (Geven et al., 2018). This study examined individual characteristics as predictors of program completion of Ph.D. students at Makerere University. Anchoring in Tinto's Model of persistence, individual characteristics included socioeconomic status (SES), quality of relationship with family, studies-family balance, expectations, self-efficacy, grit, writing, and prior experiences. Using a mixed methods approach, both cross-sectional and phenomenological designs were used to collect data from 104 Ph.D. graduates through self-administered questionnaires while seven participants were interviewed. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data used thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics involved the calculation of the mean, while inferential analysis involved using a regression model. Thereafter, data was interpreted using a Joint Display Table. The results revealed that individual characteristics, namely SES and prior experiences, positively and significantly predicted program completion. However, the quality of relationship with family, study-family balance, expectations, self-efficacy, grit, and writing did not. Therefore, some of the findings agree with Tinto's Model while others do not, hence recommending that the management of universities should support Ph.D. students considering their differences in individual characteristics based on their SES and prior experiences. However, management should not prioritise the quality of relationship with family, study-family balance, expectations, self-efficacy, grit, and writing
Circularity as a New Imperative in Plastics Waste Management in Kenya
Authors: Ong’are David Walunya , Vyalu Anastacia
Published: October 2023

Plastics are a major source of pollution in Kenya and present a wicked problem for the country, drawing in several players; the national and county governments, private sector, NGOs and street families each with their own agenda. The government has taken steps to control the plastic pollution problem through recent policy action including a ban on single use plastics and development of regulations. Producers have responded spontaneously through formation of collective Producer Responsibility Organizations to handle delegated extended responsibility over products they introduce into the market throughout the life cycle including the post consumption phase. The objective of the study is to analyse if the Responsibility Organizations are adequately designed to deliver on sustainability objectives in the plastics waste value chains. A case study approach was adopted using a review of secondary data. It is a finding of this study that two voluntary Producer Responsibility Organizations are operational in the plastics sector with commitments towards sustainability that work through member contributions and incentives to plastics waste collectors. A number of enabling policies and legislation are still in Draft form and need to be finalized. Comprehensive data on plastic production remains a challenge to assess the effect of the extended responsibility efforts so far. The plastics waste sector offers opportunity for employment for marginalized groups. Adaptive management practice offers opportunity for self-regulation by plastic producers with minimal government policing. The environmental, social, and governance aspects of the Producer Responsibility Organizations need to be strengthened

La figura del ciervo en la cultura judía medieval
Authors: Gomez Aranda Mariano
Published: October 2023

La figura del ciervo en la cultura judía medieval tiene sus orígenes en los textos bíblicos, a partir de los cuales los exegetas medievales desarrollaron varias imágenes de este animal haciendo uso de otras tradiciones. En la poesía judía, las metáforas sobre el ciervo que aparecen en los libros de Proverbios y Cantar de los Cantares, fueron utilizadas para representar a la persona amada. Aunque con menos frecuencia, también se usó la imagen de este animal en la narrativa judía medieval como expresión de la sagacidad y la inteligencia.
El ciervo en los bestiarios medievales
Authors: Martín Pascual Llúcia
Published: October 2023

El conocimiento de un animal como el ciervo se remonta a las culturas antiguas, al que se le han asociado diferentes creencias. A partir del tratado griego Physiologos, la simbología que adquirió este animal se relacionaba con la lucha entre el bien y el mal. Progresivamente, los textos animalísticos derivados, los bestiarios, se centraron en la imagen del ciervo que acude a la fuente para rejuvenecer como un símbolo del bautismo, como entrada en la nueva vida que ofrece la religión cristiana, lo que contribuyó también a su difusión en la literatura culta, sobre todo en poesía y obras de carácter didáctico-doctrinal. Este trabajo pretende hacer un recorrido desde los orígenes de la simbología del ciervo, su evolución y utilización en algunos textos literarios.
La figura numinosa del ciervo en Anatolia y en otras tradiciones indoeuropeas y no indoeuropeas. Comparación, prehistoria, interpretación
Authors: García Trabazo José Virgilio
Published: October 2023

El artículo aborda los orígenes y el desarrollo de la figura numinosa del ciervo en aquellas tradiciones indoeuropeas antiguas donde aparece con más claridad, tanto en las fuentes escritas como en otras manifestaciones de la cultura subjetiva. El segundo capítulo integra un estudio de la Caza como actividad ritual y numinosa en Anatolia, en la India clásica, en Grecia y en la tradición céltica. La pervivencia de las constelaciones asociadas a la Caza o al Cazador en las tradiciones india y griega permite reconstruir un mito común indoeuropeo relacionado con la llamada Caza Cósmica (Cosmic Hunt) de los pueblos siberianos. Este es el punto de partida del tercer capítulo, en el que se exponen elementos culturales comparables procedentes de tradiciones nómadas euroasiáticas, principalmente siberianas y del tronco turco-mongol, pero que también debieron influir en el imaginario indoeuropeo común. El Alce Cósmico –equivalente de la Osa Mayor–, el Ciervo Maravilloso, la Cierva como Madre de los Animales y sus correspondientes narrativas prefiguran elementos básicos de la numinosidad del ciervo en Occidente que apoyan una nueva interpretación de los datos.

La caza del ciervo: mitología, antropología y teoría de juegos
Authors: Pedrosa Bartolomé José Manuel
Published: October 2023

Los relatos relativos a la caza del ciervo son prácticamente universales y tienen una intensa dimensión metafórica (el ciervo puede tener múltiples significados, asociados a veces al bien y otras al mal) y una intensa dimensión metonímica (el ciervo puede ser sustituto o sustituido, en relatos análogos, por otros animales). La relación entre el ciervo y el humano ha suscitado además una densa antropología, con proyecciones que van desde lo ideológico hasta lo ritual y lo político. La caza (por lo general colectiva) del ciervo ha suscitado además, en contraposición con la caza (por lo general solitaria) de la liebre, métodos de análisis que se integran en la teoría de juegos, y que son aplicados en este artículo.
El ciervo en la hagiografía medieval: un recuento de episodios
Authors: Aragüés Aldaz José
Published: October 2023

El artículo aborda la presencia del ciervo en la hagiografía medieval a partir de un extenso corpus de escenas, ordenadas de acuerdo con la presencia recurrente de ciertos motivos. El animal (dotado algunas veces de actitudes o habla humanas, o de una cornamenta maravillosa) presenta funciones diversas. Algunas escenas muestran la ayuda del santo al ciervo perseguido. Otras refieren, en contrapartida, la ayuda del animal, ya se trate de un socorro material (ciervas nutricias, ciervos sacrificados en alimento o convertidos en bestias de labranza y de carga) o espiritual (ciervos que hallan al santo o sus reliquias, ciervos que propician la fundación del lugar sagrado o delimitan su territorio, que invitan a la conversión o trasladan una profecía). Si el santo muestra un poder sobre la naturaleza emanado de Dios, el venado deviene presente o legado de la divinidad, perpetuando un rol de mediación entre el mundo celestial y el terrenal que hallaría su origen en viejas tradiciones paganas.

Authors: Almulhim Abdulateif
Published: October 2023

This study examines the impact of board composition on the financial technology of banks listed on the stock exchanges of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The study focuses on the size of the board, the independent members, the number of board meetings, and their impact on mobile banking, automated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, and Mada Atheer, which are used as proxies for financial technology. In addition to the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, the study uses the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) system to control the endogeneity and heteroscedasticity issues. The sample consists of all banks listed in the GCC over eleven years from 2010 to 2020. The study found that the size of the board, the independent directors, and the number of board meetings are all positively and significantly associated with banks' financial technology. Regarding the financial characteristics of banks, the study found that banks' age and financial performance are positively and significantly associated with financial technology, while financial leverage is negatively related to financial technology. The findings of this study have implications for boards of directors of banks, which should continue to invest in banks' financial technology to improve their profitability and competitiveness.

Historicizing Political Dichotomy Among the Double Unilineal but Prevalently Matrilineal Cross River Igbo
Authors: Okoko Charles Okeke , Ahamefule Ikechukwu C.
Published: October 2023

The patrilineally-biased socio-political system was prevalent among the Igbo; and was the preserve of adult males above the ages of eighteen. It legislated on the decisions of the paramount Eze and the Council of Elders. The womenfolk were hardly politically visible enough in decision-making as it affected them. Yet, among the double unilineal Cross River Igbo, such as the Abam, Abiriba, Amaseri, Ihechiowa, Ohafia and Ututu, the womenfolk were politically as active as the men. Their decisions which were usually backed by women-specific deities, such as Odamini Ufuforo, Imohuma, Ohuhu and Ibara; and institutionalized social control mechanisms, such as Abiamkpu, Ibuo Okpu and Use, were often incontrovertible. A gendered political dichotomy entailed specific domains of contestations, well-defined political functions for the men and womenfolk; and cultural exhibits that portrayed the audacity of firmness, authority and visibility. Except in the choice of the paramount chief from among the apical patrilineages, the socio-economic and political systems of the Cross River Igbo were suffused by matriliny through which descent and inheritance were acquired and traced. Authority laid more on those who owned more lands and were more numerous. The matrilateral (horizontal) distributive justice system and the ability principles were preferred over the patrilateral (vertical) distributive justice system. Moreover, members of the patrilineages equally belonged to their mothers’ matrilineages where they stood to access more lands, acceptability and relevance in a double unilateral distributive justice system. The paper concluded that it was impossible for the females under the aegis of the matrilineages to be politically invisible since they had certain socio-economic advantages, therefore, political. Oral interviews predominated in the research while written sources served complementary and subsidiary purposes.
Outbreak-Associated Cases Of Human Hepatitis Viruses (HAV, HBV & HCV) With Herpes Simplex Virus And HIV Infections Detected in Blood-Based Biomarkers
Authors: Fehlberg Andressa , Simões Rachel Siqueira de Queiroz , Gomes Roberta Pinho , Silva Joelma Lessa da Silva
Published: October 2023

Hepatitis A vaccines are based on classic first-generation inactivated virus vaccines and have been developed by different biopharmaceuticals. HAV is found in the stool, blood of people who are infected and foodborne hepatitis. HBV is a short-term disease and is one of the major causative agents of chronic liver illness.  For others, it can become a long-term, chronic infection like liver disease or liver cancer. The analysis of genomic variability of HBV isolates is fundamental for molecular and epidemiological studies. HCV has a higher rate of mutation existing inside an individual as quasispecies. In this sense, this study addresses an analysis of viral hepatitis A/B/C, Herpervirus Simplex (HSV) type 1/2 and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as topics related to comprehensive care for people with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). A total of 2.750 samples were collected from 2.713 patients, of which 38,43% were for HCV; 31,20% for HIV research; 30,25% for HAV and 0,10% for HSV. In all, eight biomarkers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) were investigated, of which the HBsAg marker was non-reactive in 44,01% (2022 y) and 47.66% (2023 y). About 31,41% (2022 y) and 31.99% (2023y) were reactive for anti-HBs. The highest percentage of investigated samples (98.38%) was recorded in March 2022 with a average proportion of 55.25 ± 12.96 (CV = 0.234) for the non reactive IgM biomarker. The authors suggest follow-up with new serological research associated with molecular assays aimed specifically at reactive and inconclusive results.

Maitland’s mobilizations are an important treatment option for treating patients with Frozen shoulder or Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint. In this study we compared the efficacy of Maitland’s mobilization at end-range of tissue resistance with high intensity glides i.e. High Grade with low intensity glides i.e. Low grade within pain free range of joint movement. The study was conducted at OPD of Department of Physical Therapy, Mayo Hospital, Lahore. In this study total of 57 patients were taken and only 36 patients were selected after assessing on inclusion criteria. Those 36 patients were divided into 3 groups with 12 patients in individual group. With the joint close to its neutral position, translation and distraction techniques were used to begin mobilization techniques in the fundamental starting positions. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and SPADI scales were used for measuring pain and disability index. ROMs were measured before, during and after treatment course i.e. at Day 1, after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks respectively. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS using ANOVA. When the ranges were compared by using ANOVA on SPSS it was evident that Group A patients showed better treatment outcomes as compared to other two groups. P-value (0.000) less than 0.05 is considered significant for group A patient. Mean of demographic data also support the fact that AC is more common in women than man. As a result of this study we can conclude that all treatment options gave good results in enhancing range of motion (ROM) and decreasing pain in shoulder joint but high-grade mobilization techniques applied at end range gave a significant treatment outcome on Ranges when compared. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and SPADI scales

Authors: Ayodele Adeola A. , Mbamalu Ifunanya Euphemia
Published: October 2023

This study focuses on the public acceptance of family planning programme in Nigeria. There exist scanty empirical studies on family planning programme public acceptance from the social marketing view. In order to fill the literature gap, predictors of public acceptance of family planning programme were investigated. The research design for this study was survey design and the unit of analysis comprised child-bearing Nigerians in Enugu State, Nigeria. Child-bearing Nigerians are those Nigerians that are still having children and have the tendency of giving birth to more children. Quota sampling technique was adopted and the sample size was 246 respondents which was determined using Cochran’s formula (since the study population is infinite). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and multiple regressions were used to test the hypothesized relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. From the result findings, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and self-efficacy are the major predicting factors of public acceptance of family planning programme among child-bearing Nigerians. In conclusion, this study has identified major predicting factors of public acceptance of family planning programme in Nigeria. Also, it has provided an empirical support that perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barrier, perceived benefit and self-efficacy have significant and positive effect on the public acceptance of family planning programme. We recommend that health and social policy makers in Nigeria should sensitize the child-bearing parents in the rural areas about the essence of family planning programme and make available social marketers and entrepreneur that will help do an awareness campaign rigorously.

The metaverse has gained attention as an important aspect of virtual word, but little is known about user experiences. This study aims to determine university students' experiences, thoughts, and feelings regarding the metaverse event experience from a virtual reality perspective. A qualitative research method including in-depth interview was utilized to collect data from 34 university students, using purposive sampling method. The interviews were applied after the participants experienced the Roller Coaster metaverse game, which lasted for about 5 minutes. In the qualitative research conducted to explore the participants' experiences with the Roller Coaster metaverse activity, six main themes emerged: Superman, Pleasure Journey, Fearless Coward, Flow, Emotion Zone, and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). As a result, it was concluded that the students thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Moreover, they couldn't believe how quickly time passed, that this experience was a step toward overcoming their fears. They also added that the experience transitioned them to different worlds and emotions. Additionally, they had FoMO when someone else had this experience before them. Finally, it was revealed that they experienced the feeling of freedom by removing all real-world restrictions. This study might enable to the advancement of virtual reality environments, Metaverse, and leisure-based activities in particular and may reveal many potential research opportunities.
Expanding the therapeutic landscape: ezetimibe as non-statin therapy for dyslipidemia
Authors: Lee Jeongmin , Lee Seung-Hwan
Published: October 2023

Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and statins are the primary therapeutic options for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. However, it can be challenging to achieve optimal LDL-C goals with statin monotherapy. Ezetimibe, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, offers a potential non-statin therapy to optimize LDL-C management. Key clinical trials, such as IMPROVE-IT and RACING, have demonstrated that the addition of ezetimibe to statin therapy leads to further decreases in LDL-C or significant decreases in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), particularly in patients with high ASCVD risk. Subsequent meta-analyses and clinical trials have further supported the beneficial effect of ezetimibe, suggesting additive decreases in LDL-C and MACEs, as well as pleiotropic effects. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the clinical implications of ezetimibe for managing dyslipidemia; it also evaluates the available evidence that supports the role of ezetimibe as an adjunct non-statin therapy for long-term use. However, the long-term pleiotropic effects of ezetimibe remain controversial because of limited clinical data. Therefore, additional research is needed to clarify its potential benefits beyond LDL-C reduction. Nonetheless, an understanding of the role of ezetimibe in dyslipidemia management will help clinicians to develop effective treatment strategies.

Ấu trùng ngài sáp gây hại trên tổ ong mật ảnh hưởng đến năng suất cho nghề nuôi ong là một mối nguy đang được quan tâm trên thế giới. Tuy nhiên, việc xác định rõ loài côn trùng gây hại này còn chưa được quan tâm nhiều do nghề nuôi ong chỉ mới phát triển gần đây ở Việt Nam. Nghiên cứu này đã định danh chính xác loài ngài sáp gây hại tại 03 tỉnh Long An, Bình Dương và Đắk Lắk thông qua các đặc điểm hình thái và định danh phân tử. Các mẫu ấu trùng thu thập tại 03 tỉnh đều có kích thước trung bình là 15 - 20mm x 3 - 5mm với phần đầu không có đặc điểm đặc trưng của loài Galleria mellonella, thân có màu trắng sữa hoặc vàng nhạt. Kích thước trung bình của thành trùng đực là 6 - 10mm x 1 - 2mm, của thành trùng cái là 7 - 12mm x 2 - 3mm, kích thước trung bình của 02 cặp cánh đạt 5 - 7mm x 2 - 3mm. Kết quả định danh phân tử dựa vào gen COI cho thấy các mẫu thu thập này phân bổ ở 03 tỉnh khảo sát thuộc loài Achroia grisella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) và có cùng nguồn gốc với loài phân bổ ở Trung Quốc. Nghiên cứu đã cung cấp thêm nhiều thông tin về loài ngài sáp gây hại tổ ong phân bố tại 03 tỉnh Long An, Bình Dương và Đắk Lắk dựa vào sự kết hợp giữa đặc điểm hình thái và định danh phân tử.

Xác định sự hình thành cấu trúc G-quadruplex trong DNA là cần thiết để thiết kế các phân tử nhỏ (thuốc) nhắm mục tiêu G-quadruplex. Nghiên cứu trước đây, chúng tôi đã sử dụng protein huỳnh quang RHAU53-CFP có khả năng nhận diện cấu trúc G-quadruplex song song thông qua tín hiệu huỳnh quang. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi đánh giá khả năng nhận diện đặc hiệu cấu trúc DNA G-quadruplex song song của RHAU140-CFP bằng thiết bị đo huỳnh quang. Kết quả cho thấy, phân tử protein huỳnh quang có khả năng nhận diện cấu trúc G-quadruplex song song. Ngoài ra, tín hiệu huỳnh quang cho thấy độ nhạy của protein RHAU140-CFP cao gấp 03 lần so với tín hiệu quỳnh quang của RHAU53-CFP trong việc xác định sự hình thành cấu trúc G-quadruplex song song. Độ nhạy phân tử protein huỳnh quang sẽ cung cấp một công cụ tiềm năng để phát hiện G-quadruplex song song cả in vitro và in vivo.

The estimated number of 0 to 4-years-old children with speech disorders in Indonesia is 1.3 million people. If they are not treated properly, they will have serious consequences in adulthood. The Ministry of health of Indonesia has launched a speech disorder detection in The Child Development Monitoring Programs carried out by Posyandu cadres or Community Health Center officers. To support the program, a poster design for the early Detection of Speech Disorders in Toddlers (DeGabbi) has been created. Prior to dissemination, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the poster by conducting qualitative research. FGDs with toddlers’ mothers and posyandu cadres were conducted using an open interview guideline regarding the message, the language, and the appearance of the poster. Triangulation was carried out on Puskesmas officers, media design experts, and Indonesian language experts. Prior to the FGD, informants were asked to look at Degabbi's poster on the room wall for 5 minutes. Results of the FGD showed that all informants understood the poster messages that stated, "Whether the child is a speech delay or not at this age." Regarding the contents of the poster, one informant stated that could not understand the foreign terms, and another informant suggested to add arrows as a flow guide. Concerning the appearance, one informant thought it was better to use a stiffer material and increase the poster size. The triangulation on media design experts provided feedback relating to the images, layout, and flow of posters, while Indonesian language experts provided feedback on the diction of substitute words for foreign terms and the more effective sentences and phrases. After knowing the weaknesses of the DeGabbi poster, it then will be corrected. The DeGabbi poster is expected to be an effective and have leverage for early detection of speech disorders.
