Authors: Khan Hafiz Ullah , Khan Ilyas , Khan Atif Ahmad , Rahman Asrar Ur , Khan Zarak , Khan Rahmat Ullah
Published: July 2022

Background: High cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL and low HDL are high risk factors in type 2 diabetics in giving rise to cardiovascular diseases. The objectives of this study were to compare the serum concentrations (mg/dL) of cholesterol, TG, HDL and LDL in type 2 diabetics versus non-diabetic controls in adult population of district Bannu, Pakistan.

Materials & Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Pathology, Bannu Medical College, Bannu, Pakistan from March, 2020 to February, 2021. Total known 100 type 2 diabetics along with 50 non-diabetic controls of >35 years age were selected. Those with acute myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, chronic renal failure, acute burns, trauma, post-surgery, pregnant women and those taking lipid/ blood pressure lowering drugs were excluded. Socio-demographic variables were age in years, sex, occupation, residence and family income/month in PKR. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL were four research variables on ratio scale and were analyzed by mean, SD and range with 95% CI. Independent samples t-test was used to compare the variables between the two groups.

Results: The study group included 100 type 2 diabetics (66 men and 34 women) and 50 (29 men and 21 women) controls. Mean cholesterol concentration (mg/dL) was significantly higher (p=<.0001) in diabetics (208.22±55.24) than controls (150.26±25.29). Mean triglycerides concentration (mg/dL) was significantly higher (p=<.0001) in diabetics (202.58±82.62) than controls (157.88±53.42). Mean LDL concentration (mg/dL) was significantly higher (p=<.0001) in diabetics (148.11±55.06) than controls (113.22±32.97). Mean HDL concentration (mg/dL) was significantly lower (p=.002) in diabetics (42.48±14.24) than controls (49.38±11.76).

Conclusion: The current study concludes that serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL were significantly higher in type 2 diabetics than controls, while HDL was lower in diabetics than controls. High cholesterol, TG and LDL along with low HDL are high risk factors in type 2 diabetics in giving rise to cardiovascular diseases; that needs evaluation at earlier stages.
ARE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENTS USING JOURNALS PERTINENT TO THEIR DISCIPLINE IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA?
Authors: Karim Syed Irfan
Published: July 2022

Background: Today's clinicians have to adapt to rapidly changing medical environment and information overload. It has also been observed that family medicine residents study articles from journals of other specialties for updating their clinical knowledge base. The objective of this study was to determine the family medicine resident’s journal selection preferences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from Dec 2018-May 2019 at Department of Family & Community Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Our population included 265 family medicine residents, taken as sample. After pilot testing, a confidential but anonymous questionnaire was mailed to 265 residents. Sex, age groups, training site were demographic, while choice of family medicine journals, selection of articles, patterns of educational activities and reasons for choosing specific journal were research variables. All data was categorical and was described as count and percentage with 95%CI.

Results: The questionnaire response rate was 45.28% (120/265). Out of 120, 51 (42.5%) were men and 69 (57.5%) women. 84% belonged to age group 25-30 years. Most residents 55 (46.2%) were from Ministry of Health Centers. American Family Physician journal was most frequently accessed (94.16%), whereas Annals of Family Medicine was least accessed (15.83%). Journals selection criteria were based on EBM (45.43%) in most cases, while it was based on Institute for Scientific Information in 0.83% cases. Most (76.66%) residents were utilizing case study, while minimum (18.33%) residents were using journal club as learning tool. Majority of residents were choosing journals based on suggestions by colleagues (54.16%), while minimum by medical representatives (22.50%).

Conclusion: The awareness of family practice journals that can make a family medicine resident think as a family physician was very low. By reading the high-quality family medicine journals they can learn to develop a family physicians’ approach which they can apply to the person rather than the disease alone. Supportive mentorship and guidance from a devoted faculty mentors should ensure the maintenance of this approach and should be maintained throughout the residency years.

Authors: Ahmad Waseem , Rehman Saqibah , Aamir Muhammad , Waheed Dastgeer
Published: July 2022

Background: All patients with chronic renal failure need vascular access for hemodialysis that is possible with CVP line but it can be retained for only 02-03weeks due to infection. The most suitable and effective vascular access on long term basis is the creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The objective of this study was to compare the patency rate of Radiocephalic vs Brachiocephalic AVFs in population of D.I.Khan division, Pakistan.

Materials & Methods: This randomized controlled trail was conducted in the surgical unit at District Headquarter Teaching Hospital D.I.Khan, Pakistan from January 2017 to January 2020. Two hundred and sixty six patients were randomly allocated by toss method into two groups, one for Brachiocephalic AVF (BCAVF) and second for Radiocephalic AVF (RCAVF). Sex & patency rates were our nominal while age grouping was our ordinal variable. The data for the sample was described by count & percentages & was analyzed for the population as confidence interval at 80% confidence level. McNemar chi-square test was used to test hypothesis to compare the patency rate of Brachiocephalic AVF vs. Radiocephalic AVF at alpha 0.05 with Yates continuity correction using online statistical calculator.

Results: The patency was present in 129 (97%, 80% CI 94.45-98.39%) cases & absent in 4 (3%, 80% CI 1.61-5.55%) cases in Brachiocephalic AVF group while it was present in 107 (80.5%, 80% CI 76.04-84.86%) cases & absent in 26 (19.5%, 80% CI 15.52-24.32%) cases in Radiocephalic AVF group. McNemar chi-square test showed p-value of <.0001 (less than alpha). So, the null hypothesis was rejected, showing significant difference between two groups.

Conclusion: Brachiocephalic AVF creation is more ideal in terms of patency and maturation as compare to Radiocephalic AVF because of increased vessel diameter and increased arterial pressure at proximal site below elbow joint.

Authors: Ugah Uchenna Iyioku , Udeani Theophilus Kachidelu
Published: July 2022

Background: Carbapenems are broad spectrum β-lactam antibiotics that were introduced in response to the emergence of ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria. This study aimed at determining the occurence of carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales isolates among patients attending five tertiary hospitals with southeastern region of Nigeria.

Methods: A total of 400 Enterobacterales were isolated from different participants. Carbapenem-resistance was detected using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method with ertapenem, meropenem, imipenem, and doripenem.

Results: A total of 117 isolates (29.2%) were resistant to the four carbapenems. When compared among the states, the prevalence were 33.6%, 29.1%, 28.8%, 26.9% and 24.7% for Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra and Abia states respectively. The highest resistance was observed among P. mirabilis (52.6%) followed by K. oxytoca (35.7%), S. enterica (35.7%) and K. pneumoniae (33.8%).

Conclusion: The overall prevalence was high and this is a cause for concern and urgent need for emergency intervention to forestall widespread emergence of pandrug resistant infections.

Bu geometrik yapı fraktal desen olarak göz önüne alındığında hat geometrisinin düzgünsüzlüğü fraktal boyutlar yardımı ile sayısal olarak ifade edilebilir. Bu çalışmada Ankara-Eskişehir Yüksek Hızlı Tren (YHT) hattının geometrik düzgünsüzlüğünü belirlemek için fraktal analiz metodundan faydalanılmıştır. Fraktal boyutları hesaplamak için cetvel metodunu temel alan bir hesap algoritması kullanılmıştır. Fraktal boyutlar fleş ve nivelman grafikleri için hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan hesaplamalara göre, hat geometrisinin genel düzgünsüzlüğünün fraktal boyut ile sayısal olarak ifade edilebildiği belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda hat kalitesinin göstergesi olan geometrik parametrelerin standart sapması ile fraktal boyutlar arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Buna göre önerilen fraktal boyut ile standart sapma arasında güçlü bir ilişki vardır.
An Analysis of Blinding Success in a Randomised Controlled Trial of Fish Oil Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Authors: Liu Jean CJ , Raine Adrian , Ang Rebecca P , Fung Daniel SS
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Incidental reports collected in clinical trials suggest that amongst participants, omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oil (‘omega-3’) may be difficult to blind. Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic evaluation of blinding success in a 24-week trial of omega-3 versus an oil-based placebo. Within 1 week of supplement commencement (Week 1), a blinding questionnaire was completed by 131 children enrolled in a trial of omega-3 for the treatment of disruptive behaviour disorders. A version of the questionnaire was also completed by their parents at Week 1, and by the children at the end of supplement administration (Week 24). Results: Participants were unable to differentiate omega-3 from placebo, and accuracy did not improve as a function of: the confidence of guesses, reason for guesses, notice of any change, beliefs about what should change, or time. Child and parent guesses also showed high concordance. Conclusion: Taken together, these data provide strong evidence that the identity of omega-3 can be blinded to participants.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Purchase Decisions. Perception Study within the Former Insurance Policy Holders of Jiwasraya who agreed to proceed with Policy Restructuring Program to PT Asuransi Jiwa IFG (PT IFG Life)
Authors:   School of Business and Management Institut Teknologi Bandung, Mardhiana Hasna Rizki
Published: July 2022

This research examined the significance of factors influencing the purchase decisions within the perception of the former Jiwasraya insurance policy holders who had migrated their policies to PT IFG Life. The purchase decision variable is measured by applying the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) developed by Ajzen (1991) through measuring a person’s attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control to understand their purchase intention. This research also examined the gap between purchase intention and purchase decision through measuring the mediating variable of implementation intentions (Carrington & Neville, 2010), and the two intervening factors (Kotler & Keller, 2009), namely attitudes of others and unanticipated situational factors. This research used quantitative approach by administering questionnaires to the respondents who were regarded fit the criteria. The responses from the respondents were then being processed using SmartPLS 3.3.9 application. The findings of this research proved that attitude, subjective norm, purchase intention and implementation intention have significant influence as to the proposed framework. However, the remaining variables such as perceived behavioral control, attitudes of others, and unanticipated situational factors were shown to not have any effects among the proposed framework.

Authors:   Chemistry Department, Faculty of Math and Science, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia., Rochman Kholilur
Published: July 2022

Dahlia tubers (Pinnata Cav.) with red flowers are known to have high inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in their tubers, they also contain various minerals such as Fe and others which are needed by the human body. Therefore, this study was conducted to discuss in vitro determination of Fe levels and Fe bioavailabilities prediction from dahlia tuber syrup. The Fe content in the Dahlia tuber syrup was determined experimentally using the X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF) instrument. The Fe bioavailability of dahlia tuber syrup was predicted based on the standardized inulin and FOS content of dahlia tubers against yacon tubers. The results showed that the Fe content in dahlia tuber syrup was 10,2 ppm. The bioavailability of Fe in dahlia tuber syrup in vitro is predicted to be 69.20% – 94.73%. The prediction of a fairly high Fe bioavailability indicates that dahlia tuber syrup is expected to be quite good in increasing the absorption of Fe in the body which can have health effects, among others, can play a role in improving body metabolism and being able to reduce the risk of anemia due to iron deficiency.
Cruvelier-Baumgarten Syndrome Type II in Combination with Arteriovenous Splenic Artery Fistula: Literature Review and Clinical Case
Authors:   A.V. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center of Surgery, Moscow, Russia, Yu. A. Stepanova
Published: July 2022

Cruvelier-Baumgarten syndrome is a rare disease that causes portal hypertension in association with unclogged umbilical or paraumbilical veins, hypoplasia of the intrahepatic portal system, and liver atrophy with minimal or no fibrosis. Patients with this condition experience the classic signs of portal hypertension such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites, and encephalopathy. Frequent clinical manifestations are the symptom of "jellyfish head" and venous murmur over the umbilical region due to the presence of large umbilical and paraumbilical veins. In the presented clinical case of Cruvelier-Baumgarten syndrome type II in combination with splenic artery arteriovenous fistula, pathological changes were not pronounced. There was no "jellyfish head" symptom, but a venous murmur was heard in the umbilical region. The patient complained of moderate pain in the epigastrium, right hypochondrium. Examination of the patient, which revealed, in addition to the typical manifestations of this disease, also multiple SAVFs, as well as angiography data regarding pressure in the umbilical vein - 5 mm Hg, determined the tactics of treatment in the volume of endovascular occlusion of the splenic artery branches, which was successfully completed. As a result, there was a decrease in pressure in the portal system and a sharp decrease in discharge through the recanalized umbilical vein into the basin of the inferior vena cava, which made it possible to level out complaints. At the control examination two months after treatment, the patient had no complaints. A review of the literature on the Cruveilhier-Baumgarten syndrome and disease is presented.
La fábrica de obras
Authors: Prochasson Christophe
Published: July 2022

El artículo analiza el recorrido realizado por la historia intelectual durante las últimas cuatro décadas. Propone que en las producciones y debates, no sólo franceses, sobre la historia intelectual se advierte una triple crítica epistemológica: contra la historia cultural, contra la historia de las ideas y contra la historia social. A su vez, invita a distinguir la “nueva historia intelectual” por una construcción de objetos para la que es central tanto el cruce de la historia de los actores, de las instituciones y de las prácticas como el análisis de la producción y naturaleza del trabajo intelectual, de sus intenciones y de su recepción.
Notas para una historia intelectual de la historia intelectual
Authors: Canavese Mariana
Published: July 2022

Erigida sobre las críticas al programa clásico de la History of Ideas, la nueva historia intelectual es hoy un campo de estudios en el que convergen diversas aproximaciones. En Argentina tiene un recorrido con ritmos, estaciones y derivas propias. Pero, ¿qué diría una historia intelectual de la historia intelectual local? A modo de balance de las últimas décadas, en este artículo se recuperan los problemas vinculados a la definición del área, sus desarrollos, debates y perspectivas, sus objetos, espacios y mediaciones. Se explora, por otra parte, la hipótesis de que, desde los años noventa, el auge de la historia intelectual operó como un contrapunto del declive de la función intelectual. ¿La historia intelectual surge como síntoma de una ausencia (la práctica intelectual como actividad urgente que convoca a la acción) y vuelve como nostalgia en el retorno del objeto?

Mediadores y configuraciones sociales de los usos de Bourdieu en la Argentina
Authors: Sorá Gustavo
Published: July 2022

Pierre Bourdieu es uno de los autores más citados en las ciencias sociales y humanas (CSH) en la Argentina. Desde finales de la década de 1970, sus apropiaciones son variadas. Se multiplican exponencialmente hacia el fin de siglo y, como un “fundador de discursividades”, en el presente sus ideas se diluyen por diversos escenarios de producción simbólica. Para comprender el proceso a través del cual su figura fue marcando presencia en la América austral, es necesario observar al menos dos series de hechos entrelazados. Por un lado, las apropiaciones por parte de especialistas de las CSH que son reconocidos por los usos de Bourdieu. Por otro lado, su disposición para el público lector en la enseñanza universitaria, en la prensa y en el mercado de libros, a través de la traducción castellana de buena parte de su obra, acción competitiva entre editoriales argentinas, mexicanas y españolas. Los datos permiten confirmar que Bourdieu es un signo eficaz para objetivar el dinamismo del espacio cultural argentino, un polo central a escala iberoamericana donde el medio académico es poblado por numerosos especialistas de diversas disciplinas cuyos ensayos e investigaciones se nutren centralmente de interrogantes y modelos de análisis propuestos por el autor francés. El artículo se concentra en las trayectorias de Alicia Gutiérrez, Denis Baranger y Ana Teresa Martínez, sociólogos reconocidos como “los bourdieuanos argentinos”. El posicionamiento institucional de esos agentes (y de otros centrales en la diseminación del programa bourdieuano en el Cono Sur) en provincias, demuestran que no se trata de un autor “dominante” en las disputas de las CSH en este país.

Published: July 2022

Nrtiduction. Workers in the production of chemical fibers in the course of their work are exposed to a complex of harmful factors of working conditions that have a negative impact on their health, but their determining impact on the quality of life has not yet been sufficiently studied. Material and methods. A one-stage (cross-sectional) study of the subjective assessment of the quality of life of one hundred thirty five workers in the production of polyacrylonitrile fiber was carried out using a non-specific questionnaire for assessing the health status SF-36. Results. Workers in the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers were shown to highly rated their physical condition. In contrast to their psychological state, the value of the average total indicator of “mental health component” was 48.42±0.54 points, which was statistically significantly lower than the value (54.78±0.36 points) of the total indicator of the physical component (p> 0.05 according to W-Wilcoxon criterion), and corresponded to the average assessment. Men rated quality of life (QOL) more highly on the “physical functioning” scale, women - on the “mental health” scale (p = 0.027 according to the Mann-Whitney U-test). A statistically significant correlation was established between the objective criteria of the level of health (the index of functional changes and the level of physical condition) and an assessment of QOL on the scales of “vital activity” and “mental health”. This indicated to a decline in the QOL in workers against the background of an decrease in the body’s adaptive reserves with increasing age and work experience and low social activity. The limitations of the study are determined by the area of study of production factors that determine health disorders and QOL in workers in the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers, and psychosocial attitudes of the respondents . Conclusion. Workers in the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers over the age of 60 and workers with work experience of 21 years or more are high-risk groups and need adequate and timely measures to restore functional reserves, maintain health and psychologically correct the quality of life.

Authors: Spirin Vladimir F. , Milushkina Olga Yu. , Eliseeva Yuliya V.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. According to the World Health Organization, among young people, the prevalence of behavioral factors determining the violation of their health is especially increased. It determines the relevance of studying the influence of leading socio-hygienic, behavioral risk factors on the quality of life of modern adolescents. Material and methods. A survey of 15-17-year-old students of schools (n=489) and vocational college (n=292) was conducted. There were determined body mass index (BMI); type of eating behavior - according to the DEBQ questionnaire; quality of life indicators - according to the PedsQLTM4.0 questionnaire. A questionnaire was conducted to identify behavioral risk factors. The data is statistically processed. The significance level of the differences was determined by the Student’s criterion for parametric and the Mann-Whitney U-test for nonparametric features. The differences were considered significant at p<0.05-0.001. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to establish risk factors. Results. Insufficient level of motor activity was a priority among adolescents. The associations of increased screen time with low physical activity among schoolchildren (OR=1.455) and college students (OR=1.251) were determined. The prevalence of smoking among school and college students was 23.6% and 33.8%, respectively. The components of irrational nutrition were determined; there was a decrease in the frequency of meals as they grew older, eating disorders. 28.5% of schoolchildren had disharmonious physical status. Among college students, body mass disorders were found in 26.2% of cases. The study of quality of life indicators in adolescents showed the highest scores on the scale of social functioning. The indicator of the final assessment of the quality of life was 79 points for schoolchildren, 73 points for college students. The probability of a decrease in the overall quality of life score among schoolchildren most depended on motor activity (OR=1.696) and prolonged use of gadgets (OR =1.550). Insufficient physical activity (OR=1.400) and tobacco smoking (OR=1.615) were statistically significant in the forecast of the probability of a decrease in the overall quality of life score among college students. Limitations. The study is limited to studying the influence of leading socio-hygienic, behavioral risk factors on the quality of life of schoolchildren and college students. Conclusion. Further research is needed to identify causal relationships between socio-hygienic, behavioral risk factors and indicators of the quality of life in adolescents, taking into account the active introduction of modern technological forms of education into the education system in schools and vocational colleges.

Authors: Kuchma Vladislav R. , Guzik Elena O. , Sedova Anna S.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The current stage of development of social and hygienic monitoring (SHM) is characterized by the lack of an effective technology for monitoring for the health of the child population, adequate indicators of the monitoring system in the area of hygiene and health protection of children and adolescents. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effective indicators of the information fund of the SHM. Materials and methods. There was carried out the expert-analytical study including forty four thousand values of 105 indicators of the information fund of the SHM were processed for 8 years and the results of a physiological and hygienic examination of students in 18 schools in the city of Minsk. Results. The database of the information fund of the SHM does not allow establishing the influence of socio-economic factors on the incidence in children and adolescents by the main classes of diseases and socially significant diseases. The data of the forms on the results of instrumental measurements of physical factors, the number of outbreaks of infectious and parasitic diseases in educational institutions, the specific weight of objects of various groups in terms of the level of sanitary and epidemiological well-being correlate no with each other and do not allow objectively characterizing the sanitary and epidemiological state of educational institutions. The indicators of official state statistics, characterizing the socio-economic situation of the regions, do not correlate with the level of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of general education institutions according to laboratory and instrumental control data, and do not reliably affect the coverage of students with hot meals. The socio-economic situation of the regions affects the behavior in the field of nutrition and morbidity in children and adolescents, the management of medical care for them. Limitations. The study was limited to the study and analysis of data from the Federal Information Fund for Social and Hygienic Monitoring and data on the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of schools in a large city. Conclusion. Optimization of the set of indicators and data of the information fund of the SHM for assessing and managing the processes of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the children population and organizations must be carried out by reducing and including additional indicators of the fund.

Published: July 2022

The sub-population of humpback whales inhabiting the Arabian Sea is a small and genetically distinct population that remains in low latitudes year round. Designated as Endangered on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species, the population faces a number of threats throughout its range, including entanglement in fishing gear, ship strikes, and habitat degradation. Research conducted primarily off the coast of Oman over the past 20 years has contributed to understanding the population’s distribution, abundance, and conservation status. However information on the population’s health and specific threats is limited. This study examines all available images of Arabian Sea humpback whales obtained between 2000 and 2018 for evidence of disease, predation, epizoites and human-induced scarring or injury to individuals. Tattoo-like skin disease was detected in 43.4% of 83 adult whales, with a roughly equal distribution between males and females. Prevalence of the disease was significantly higher in 2012-2018 (51.7%) than in 2000-2011 (24.1%).   Killer whale tooth rakes were detected on the ventral surface of the tail flukes of 12% (95% CI 4.5-18%) of 77 individuals. Roughly two thirds (66.6%: 95% CI 52-80%) of the 42 individuals represented by good quality photos of the caudal peduncle region at the fluke insertion bore scarring patterns consistent with entanglement in fishing gear. Four individuals had injuries consistent with vessel strikes and at least two other individuals showed severe injuries and deformations likely caused by interactions with fishing gear. Documented entanglement events from Oman and Pakistan involved large-mesh nylon gillnets, known to be used extensively throughout the Arabian Sea. These findings indicate an urgent need to design effective management and mitigation of threats, and to continue monitoring Arabian Sea humpback whales, with an emphasis on methods that allow continued and expanded assessment of health, body condition, and anthropogenic interactions.
Covid-19 dan Matinya Metode Pengajaran Tradisional: Perspektif Islam
Authors: Kamil Sukron
Published: July 2022

Covid-19 bukan hanya meluluh-lantakkan banyak bidang kehidupan yang berefek negatif, melainkan juga darinya ada banyak sisi positif dan itu berlaku juga bagi dunia pendidikan/pengajaran. Di antara sisi positifnya, Covid-19 telah memproklamirkan kematian metode mengajar tradisional. Paling tidak, metode mengajar dengan dosen/guru sebagai pusat dan metode mengajar berbasis hafalan. Keduanya bukan hanya tak sejalan dengan tuntutan Covid-19 yang menekankan proses pembelajaran sebaliknya, melainkan juga tak sejalan dengan teori pengajaran/pendidikanmodern/kontemporer. Baik Covid-19 maupun teori pendidikan modern menuntut diterapkannya metode mengajar dengan siswa/mahasiswa sebagai pusat dan metode mengajar tak berbasis hafalan. Dalam Islam meski metode mengajar dengan dosen/guru sebagai pusat dan metode mengajar berbasis hafalan merupakan tradisi yang kuat, bukan berarti metode mengajar dengan siswa/mahasiswa sebagai pusat dan metode mengajar tak berbasis hafalan bertentangan dengan Islam. Ada banyak sisi Islam, baik Islam sebagai ajaran maupun tradisi (sejarahnya) yang panjang yang memperlihatkan dua metode mengajar yang sesuai tuntutan Covid-19 itu merupakan bagian dari ajaran dan tradisi pengajaran/pendidikan dalam Islam sejak masa klasik yang tak dipisahkan. Kedua metode mengajar itu sejalan dan telah dipraktikkan dalam Islam. Karenanya, umat Islam jangan ragu untuk menerapkan dan mengembangkan metode mengajar yang sesuai tuntutan Covid-19 itu.

Objective: Raw milk is an important source of nutrients. Therefore, today, there is a great demand for raw milk consumption. The positive side of milk consumption on growth and development cannot be ignored, but unfortunately, pathogens in raw milk are always potential public health risks for transmission pathogens. Bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae in normal flora can cause serious problems due to their extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production. These bacteria and their resistance genes have been reported in raw milk. In this matter, the aim of the study is to determine the status of blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-2, blaTEM, and blaSHV genes responsible for the production of ESBL enzyme in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. strains to identify risk factors in raw milk consumption and to gain an understanding of the epidemiology of these resistant strains.

Materials and methods: A total of different 50 raw milk samples were collected and subjected to phenotypic microbiological analysis and Real-time PCR targeting blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-2, blaTEM, and blaSHV genes. In the phenotypic analyses, suspicious isolates were identified by classical microbiological methods and antibiotic resistance profiles were revealed.

Results: These results indicated that raw milk is a potential reservoir for ESBL producing E. Coli, Klebsiella spp. strains are obviously significant. And It was determined that CTX-M based ESBL genes are predominant in ESBL production. The present study revealed that raw milk is epidemiologically involved in the transmission of ESBL genes. Raw milk could be distributed to ESBL genes widely with which is consumed in Şanlı Urfa.

Authors: Oliveira Anderson da Silva , Santos Bezerra Batista Maique dos
Published: July 2022

A literatura vem apontando que o Muay Thai foi sistematizado há cerca de 250 A.C cujo nascimento origina-se na Tailândia. A questão central desse trabalho consiste em analisar como o conteúdo de lutas, enfatizando o Muay Thai, é trabalhando nas aulas de educação física escolar. A pesquisa contou com artigos disponíveis em periódicos da área, onde o Muay Thay aparece como um conteúdo ensinado pelos/as professores/as nas aulas de educação física escolar. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, analítico-exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, por se apropriar de artigos publicados em sua inteireza em meios eletrônicos sem se ater a fenômenos estatísticos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram as plataformas digitais - Google Acadêmico, SciELO e periódico CAPES. Os dados foram analisados por categorias divididas em: autores/as e ano de publicação; tipo do estudo; amostra; estratégias metodológicas; e, materiais utilizados. Os resultados apontaram que a inserção desse conteúdo nas aulas de educação física amplia o retórico linguístico, cultural, gestual e motor dos/as estudantes por vivenciarem representações culturais de caráter local e global. Logo, as aulas de educação física com intencionalidades pedagógicas emanam potencial para acessar o repertório de conhecimento cultural e corporal dos/as estudantes por experimentar, dialogar e refletir sobre práticas que talvez estejam distantes de sua realidade e ampliá-las.

Heritage buildings and designs contribute to the richness of a country's history and culture, with "heritage" referring to archaic structures and artifacts associated with historic, cultural, and architectural designs. These structures and monuments serve as powerful reminders of the region's past while also compromising the regional culture's foundation. India has a long and illustrious history, as evidenced by diverse structures, forts, temples, landscapes, and ancient artifacts. Many of them were built during the Golden Age of Indian Civilization, many hundred years ago. India is characterized as a place with a great legacy, rich in traditional practices, culture, and historical landmarks, all of which have been blended to make a "unified nation." To preserve this cultural property restoration of heritage structure is necessary. New innovations, upgraded systems, improved technologies, advances in the construction industry are constantly evolving. It is very important that properties of the old materials and new materials should match each other. In this study, some special materials are used for restoration of heritage buildings are discussed. Use of materials like FRP, CFRP, Wood preservatives are attempted in this particular study.

Mobile users can query about various features at various locations using location-based services (LBS). (e.g., bars, bistros) (e.g., cost, quality, assortment). Furthermore, clients demand exact inquiry outcomes as well as anticipated travel times. Without the checking basis for street traffic, the LBS may acquire live nom de plume journey seasons from online alias APIs and provide precise results. We want to reduce while the amount of solicitations sent out by the LBS keeping the precise inquiry findings. The client has access to alias via a web in our proposed work. He must choose the objective point based on his current location, and LBS will then speak with the server and show you his recommended nearby locations. To begin, we recommend that you take the K-NN Pseudonym course examination.

Vehicle in vehicular ad hoc (VANETs) communicates guides about their traffic status remotely for further developing traffic security and effectiveness. In any case, in the security message trade process, pernicious aggressor can deduce a client's character, occupation and other delicate data through direction following, and could send off an assault that can bring about accidents. Moreover, wellbeing message trade is generally founded on outdoors radio, and consequently different security assaults, for example, various security attacks, such as bogus information attack and impersonation attack, also sent off to VANETs . To determine the previously mentioned security and protection issues, we propose secure and Lightweight Face Biometric Authentication using deep learning algorithm convolutional neural network for Blockchain Integrated VANETs called VeChain. The proposed scheme is appropriate for resolving issues connected with security and protection since it joins the sealed VeChain based plans with the side of the road unit (RSU) based plans. In light of Public Key Cryptography, the proposed plot preloads the underlying public boundaries and keys of the framework in each RSU and the On-Border unit (OBU). Moreover, this scheme accomplish security and protection necessities as well as opposes normal security assaults and adulterated message transmission assault. At last, the presentation assessment shows that the proposed scheme is more effective computationally and communicational than the current plans in marking and confirming VANETs messages
