Authors: Hamdan Abeer , Abdel-Rahman Manar
Published: December 2020

Introduction:Internationally, eight out of ten children are exposed to violent discipline by their caregivers. To reduce the prevalence of violent discipline against children, we should understand the social and economic factors that affect the choice of disciplinary methods. Despite the high prevalence of violent discipline in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region, only a few studies explored disciplinary methods in this region. Aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence of positive and violent disciplinary practices in five selected MENA countries and assess their association with household head education and beliefs of physical punishment. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study design based on available secondary data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey on its fourth round (MICS-4). A child was selected randomly from the household, and the Parent-Child Conflict Scale (CTSPC) tool was used to report disciplinary methods the child encountered during the last month period preceding the survey. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to investigate the association between disciplinary practices with household head education and respondent's beliefs of physical punishment. The analysis was conducted using pooled data from all selected surveys and also for individual countries. Result: The overall prevalence of positive discipline was only 15% (95% CI: 14.4-15.8), in the five countries, while the prevalence of violent discipline was 80% (95% CI: 79.0 -80.5). The prevalence of positive discipline was highest in Qatar (40%; 95% CI: 35.0-44.4) and lowest in Tunisia (5%; 95% CI: 4.3-5.9) while the prevalence of violent discipline was highest in Tunisia (93%; 95% CI: 92.1-94.1), and lowest in Qatar (50%; 95% CI: 44.7-55.0). Overall, the household head education was not significantly associated with either positive or violent discipline after adjusting for covariates. However, respondents believe of disciplinary methods was significantly associated with both positive and violent discipline (OR=5.88; 95% CI: 4.97-6.96) and (OR=6.27; 95% CI: 5.40-7.28), respectively. Conclusion: High rates of violent discipline in the MENA region might indicate an increase in mental, behavioral, and social problems and disorders in our future generation. Rapid action is needed to reduce the worsening of violent discipline, and it is consequences. There is a need for educational programs for caregivers to teach them alternative non-violent methods of discipline. Besides, these numbers should inform policymakers about the importance of the existence and the implementations of laws, policies, and regulations to protect children from all forms of violence to protect our future youths and ensure their health and wellbeing.
Post-Translational Modifications of Albumin in Cancer – A Rich Source for Diagnostic and Monitoring of Treatment
Authors: Kannan Surya , Souchelnytski Serhiy
Published: December 2020

Albumin is in contact with all cells in a body. This major protein in a plasma accesses all tissues and organs and has a number of different roles. Albumin was found to have more than 50 posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Some of the albumin PTMs showed correlation with tumorigenesis. Examples of PTMs of albumin are reported at www.phosphosite.org. Modifications like glycation of patients with breast cancer is seen higher as compared to healthy control. We hypothesize that several novel post-translational modification in albumin could be related to cancer and can be used as biomarkers. We performed mass spectrometry and 2D gel electrophoresis analysis of serum albumin for 32 most common PTMs. We identified most of these PTMs in albumin. We observed that human cancer cells affected PTMs profile of albumin. Examples of affected PTMs are phosphorylation, palmitolylation, geranyl- geranylation etc. We observed also differences in PTMs profiles of albumin from serum of a healthy person and cancer patient. O - GlcNAcylation, farnesylation, glutathionylation, S- nitrosylation etc PTMs were found to differ. Our data show that PTMs of albumin can be easily detected. Our trial with 32 PTMs can be expanded to detect up to a hundred known PTMs. These PTMs may correlate with cancer development, and may be used as markers in cancer diagnostic and prognostic.

Authors: Alser Maha W , Salman Huseyin Enes , Yalcin Huseyin Cagatay
Published: December 2020

Background: Hemodynamics, forces from the flowing blood in the heart, is a major epigenetic factor for heart development. Disturbed hemodynamics were shown to induce cardiac malformations in the embryonic heart. Clinically relevant congenital heart defects (CHDs) can be introduced surgically in the lab by disturbing the hemodynamics, like Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), characterized by underdeveloped left ventricle is underdeveloped. Left atrial ligation (LAL) on chick embryo is an experimental technique to produce a HLHS-like phenotype. Aims: To reveal mechanobiological mechanisms associated with disturbed hemodynamics that influence the progression of left ventricular hypoplasia using chick embryo model. We also introduce a new technique which we called right atrial ligation (RAL), to examine effect of flow disturbance in right heart. Methods: We combined multiple novel techniques in this research: Heart function was assessed via Echocardiography. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was adapted for detailed hemodynamics assessment, such as wall shear stress and blood flow patterns. Heart morphology was assessed by histology, and micro-CT. Results: Echocardiography and CFD analysis showed flow and WSS levels decreased for the flow constricted side resulting in the flow diversion to the opposite side: LAL diverted flow to right side and RAL to left side. This disturbance resulted in underdevelopment of left heart (valve and ventricle) in LAL and underdevelopment of right heart in RAL, revealed with histology and micro-CT. Left side was affected more compared to right side, demonstrating higher plasticity in left heart. Conclusion: This study indicates the critical importance of altered inflow hemodynamics in cardiac development specifically valve and ventricle development. Our comprehensive approach can be used to predict the initiation and growth of congenital heart defects.

Published: December 2020

Non-healing chronic wounds are the key concern in type-2 diabetes that frequently leads to chronic infections, finally causing amputation of limbs, organs etc. Decrease in the proliferation and migration of cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts is the major reason for the development of such chronic diabetic wounds. Multiple evidences have shown that CTGF and reduced graphene oxide possesses angiogenic property and promote wound healing by promoting proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and keratinocytes cells.Conjugation of rGO with CTGF using EDC-NHS chemistry is a novel approach to accelerate the wound healing process. In the current work, we have developed a rGO/CTGF incorporated GelMA hydrogel dressing to improve wound healing by increasing proliferation and migration of cells as well as promoting formation of new blood vessels for increased supply of nutrients, oxygen and growth factors to wound area

Published: December 2020

Methods: We used a Pareto chart to identify priority areas for our project based on magnitude of incidence of BBF exposures. A driver diagram was developed with four main primary drivers including risk awareness, attitudes and practice, staff experience, and leadership engagement. Intervention ramps and changes were implemented using multiple PDSA cycles addressing staff knowledge and awareness about BBF exposure prevention and management using surveys and learning brochures and assessment of staff compliance with safe practice. The project included the following measures (i) outcome measure: number of days between BBF exposure incidents; (ii) Process measures: BBF exposure risk awareness score, attitude and practice score, and proportion of staff compliant with BBF exposure safe practice; (iii) BBF reporting exposure score and proportion of staff satisfied with BBF exposure prevention and management policy. Ethical approval of the project was not required. Results: About 80% of BBF exposure incidents were due to needlestick injuries. Emergency unit, operating theatre, hemodialysis unit, laboratory unit, and utility services accounted for 80% of all BBF exposure incidents. Around 47% of the incidents occurred among nurses. Our project was associated with increase in attitude and safe practice score form 75% to 100%. The compliance with safe practice increased from 77% to 86%, and reporting of exposure increased from 75% to 100%. Staff satisfaction increased from 65% at baseline to 96%. Knowledge about prevention and management of BBF exposure (safe practice) increased from 60% to 92% in the hemodialysis unit. However, the median number of days between BBF exposures increased from 13 days at baseline to 18 days in May 2019. Conclusion: Our quality improvement project has identified the priorities clinical areas accounting for the majority of BBF exposure incident. The initial phase of the project in hemodialysis unit was associated with significant increase in knowledge scores about prevention and management of BBF exposure, compliance with safe practice, and staff satisfaction. In addition, the project was associated with significant increase in reporting of BBF exposure, which explains why we were not able to increase the median number of days between BBF exposures to 50 days. We have started spreading our interventions and change ideas to other units in Al-Khor general Hospital. Quality improvement projects can reduce the incidence of BBF exposure having the priority areas identified and the relevant drivers are addressed appropriately

Published: December 2020

Background: Cesarean section (CS) delivery is one of the top concerns when it comes to women in maternity age, given the fact that CS rates are on the rise globally and especially in Qatar. Many socioeconomic, demographic, clinical and institutional factors that are likely to play a role in that increase. The aim of this study is to investigate factors that may affect the CS delivery in Qatar. Objective: Identify the factors playing a major role in the increase of CS rates among women in Qatar and determine the significance of the strength of their effect on the issue. Methodology: Using Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2012. The study focused on the women’s questionnaire with a final sample of 761 women aged 19- 49 years whom have had given birth in their lifetime before the survey after applying an inclusion criteria to the 5809 women in the dataset. IBM SPSS 26 was used to perform descriptive analysis to describe our data, bivariate analysis to assess the associations between variables, multivariate analysis to adjust for external confounders within these associations, and multilevel analysis to assess the significance of variations within levels of the clustered dataset. To investigated factors of: age of women, frequency of watching TV, level of school, antenatal care by whom, assistance at delivery by whom, place of delivery, and weight of baby. Results: The study found that the odds ratio of CS for mothers less than 25 is lower by 54.4% than women 35 years and above with (p-value = 0.020; 95% CI 0.235 -0.883). Furthermore, the type professional who assisted the birth specially nurses, plays a significant role for the outcome of whether they experience CS or not; the odds ratio of that is 51.8% than any other professional with. One of the other significant associations with CS rates was the place of birth (p-value = 0.000; 95% CI 0.207- 0.634) as mothers who give birth governmental hospitals have CS rates lower by 63.8% than those who deliver in private hospitals. Conclusion: The study found a significant association between age of women, frequency of TV watching, assistance at birth, and place of birth with the outcome of the study which is undergoing CS delivery or not. These results can be used as evidence-base for further research on cesarean section delivery in Qatar.

Published: December 2020

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the first cause of death worldwide. Vasolidator agents are used to relax cardiac muscle, but their extremely short half-lifes limit their effectiveness. Sildenafil is such an agent used to relax the blood vessels muscles and increase the blood flow. The conventional drug can lead to serious problems in patients duo to the systematic drug delivery. Use of Nanomedicine potentially can enhance delivery of this agent while reducing the systematic effect of the drug. Aim: The purpose of the research is to examine the effectiveness sildenafil loaded nanoparticles in rescuing heart failure using zebrafish embryo model. Methods: There will be five experimental groups. The zebrafish will be treated with Aristolochic Acid (AA) at 24 hour per fertilization (hpf) to create the heart injury group. The treatment groups will be heart injury followed by a dose of either Sildenafil or Sildenafil loaded nanoparticles at 36 hpf. Two control groups will be the negative control (exposed to egg water) and vehicle control (exposed to the Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)).To evaluate the drug effects on embryo, toxicity assessment (Survival rate, tail flicking and hatching rate), cardiotoxicity assessment and gene expression of heart injury marker via RT-PCR will be conducted. Results: Preliminary findings demonstrate, loading Sildenafil to nanoparticles enhances its effectiveness dramatically. The experiments are ongoing to confirm the results. Conclusion: Nanomedicine is a powerful approach to enhance cardiovascular therapy. Vasodilator drugs in particular will benefit from this improvement as demonstrated with our findings

Published: December 2020

Background: Hypovitaminosis D has been linked to several non-bone related diseases. Relation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)] and lung function and lung diseases has received less attention. Methods: Data from 3 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles, 2007-2012 were used. The sample size was 11983. Lung function markers such as forced vital capacity (FVC)and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were collected with Spirometry. Relation between serum 25(OH)D and lung function makers was assessed by the multivariate regression. Relation between serum 25(OH)D and prevalence of asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis were assessed with multivariate-adjusted logistic regression. Results: Serum 25(OH)D was significantly associated with FVC and FEV1 (P <0.001). When data were stratified based on sex and smoking status, we found similar associations between serum 25(OH)D and lung function markers. No relation was found between serum 25(OH)D and prevalence of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Conclusions: Serum 25(OH)D is significantly associated with improved lung function markers. Controlled studies are needed to determine if improved serum 25(OH)D will improve the lung function in adults.

This study is aimed to identify the stages of cooperation between families of people with disabilities and education specialists and the importance of social media in supporting this cooperation and parental participation in the school and civil society institutions, in addition to knowing the dimensions of this participation and its effectiveness in special education programs and educational institutions, including teachers and specialists. Also, others who work in the field of special education. The study followed the quantitative and qualitative approach. The researcher used the two measures of cooperation, acceptance and parental rejection of Khalifa (2007). The researcher used the quantitative and qualitative method to answer the study questions. The study sample consisted of ten parents who have a child with a dependency. The results of the analysis of the parental participation questionnaire showed that the principle of family rights ranked first with a rate of 94.8%, and the highest percentage of responses from the sample members to this variable was 100%, while the lowest percentage of responses was 80%. The defense of the rights of the child comes in second place with a rate of 94.4%, while the principle of commitment is ranked third by a rate of 91%, and the principle of equality came in the fourth rank with a slight difference of 90.5%, and the principle of communication comes in the fifth order with a rate of 90%. Social communication, it ranked sixth by 90%, the principle of respect comes in seventh with a rate of 85%, then the principle of professional competence came in eighth place with a rate of 82%, and finally trust comes in ninth and last place with a rate of 81.5%. Whereas the specialist’s answers to the interview questions indicated the importance of using social media in the process of parental participation in education, which was in agreement with the responses of the families of the disabled, while the specialist’s responses agreed with the families ’responses on the importance of the principle of positive communication with the families of the disabled, and building positive relationships with them. Which will lead to building the principle of mutual trust, as the responses of the specialist indicated that it fully applies the values of parental partnership at a rate of 100% for each value, which did not agree with the responses of the families of students with disabilities.

Published: December 2020

The experiment was conducted at Jimma University College of Agricultures and Veterinary Medicine (JUCAVM) under field condition to determine the effects of different weeding time of Ryegrass on growth and yield components of Wheat (Triticum spp.) The experimental design used was randomized complete block design (RCBD) and each of the experimental treatment was replicated three times. A Wheat cultivar, Digalu was grown with Ryegrass and different weeding time of Ryegrass T1 (weeding 15-45 DAS), T2 (weeding 30-60 DAS), T3 (weeding 45-75 DAS), T4 (weed free) and T5 (no weeding) were used as a treatment. Data were recorded on Wheat Plant height, Stem thickness, Number of tillers; Spike length and Spike number. The result revealed that various weeding time of Ryegrass statistically (p≤0.05) affected Plant height, Stem thickness, Number of tillers; Spike length and Spike number. The maximum values of all the parameters were recorded in the (15-45 DAS) except for Plant height and Stem thickness. Whereas, the minimum values of these parameters were recorded from (45-75 DAS) except for Plant height. It is advisable for growers to remove the Ryegrass before the critical weed-crop competition period which is most probably (15-45 DAS) to keep the crop weed free at this period.
The Gaols of Guyana: Hauntology and Trauma in the soundscape of Prison
Authors: Ayres Tammy , Kerrigan Dylan
Published: December 2020

Using Hauntology, this paper illustrates how the supposed demise of a socio-political and economic system – colonialism – still impacts on and has something to offer contemporary political analysis in Guyana’s gaols. Drawing on Fiddler’s spatio-hauntology alongside the work of Derrida and Gordon this paper shows how hauntology provides an alternative theoretical framework to look at the intergenerational transmission of trauma, which can be traced back to colonialism and slavery. It acknowledges the impact structural violence has on the collective imaginary and how this – consciously and unconsciously – shapes the psychosocial material underpinning contemporary Guyanese identities, desires, experiences, social action, and systems of punishment which includes prisons – its buildings, space, regimes, processes, sounds, laws and rationale. Guyana’s prisons contain phantoms of the past. Only by acknowledging Guyana’s ghosts and the phantasm of past trauma is it that we can begin to understand contemporary Guyana and Guyanese society, which includes their jails.
History of substance use and control in British Guiana

Published: December 2020

Whilst the impact of drugs on the culture of Caribbean societies and Indigenous populations is well documented, their role in maintaining influence over an ethnically diverse population and regulating labour productivity are frequently overlooked. In this paper we examine the use of drugs as a means of compelling and retaining labour in British Guiana during the nineteenth century. We also assess changes over time in how the colonial state managed concerns that the use of intoxicants threatened its control over the labouring population through licensing laws, carceral institutions and the criminalisation of certain drugs.
Prediction of active filing shelf in medical record unit - General hospital Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal 2020 – 2024
Authors: Prasetya Jaka  , Isworo Slamet
Published: December 2020

General hospital Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal is a local government hospital. Improving medical support services, especially the quality of medical record archiving services, is essential to maintain the quality of hospitals in the context of good hospital standards. This study aims to predict the need for archive shelves between 2015-2019. The type of research used is descriptive with accidental sampling technique. Patient medical records were collected using a systematic sampling technique. The observation results showed that the average thickness of medical record documents was 0.85 cm based on measurements on 30 samples of medical record documents. The hospital has 48 shelves with 5 sub-shelves on each shelf. The length of the available archives is 525 cm and by 2024 a total of 37 shelfs will be needed. Modeling results based on linear regression equations have decreased medical record documents since 2015-2019 y = - 782.9x +30636. However, the linear regression validation for the cumulative medical record documents for 2015-2019 shows an increase based on the regression equation y = 28439 x + 1112.2, therefore it is necessary to immediately save the medical record document in an active state. The conclusion delivered by Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal does not need an additional archive shelf, but it does require inactive document storage.

Neurotransmitters and nitric oxide are released in various brain areas according to ultradian and infradian rhythms
Authors: Athineos Philippu
Published: December 2020

The push-pull superfusion technique was used to investigate release of endogenous neurotransmitters and nitric oxide in various brain regions. The transmitters catecholamines, histamine, GABA, glutamate, as well and nitric oxide are released according to ultradian rhythms which generate fluctuations of vegetative functions such as blood pressure and arousal. More frequent infradian oscillations of neurotransmitter and nitric oxide release fates are implicated in mutual interneural control.

Published: December 2020

Putusan arbitrase bersifat final and binding artinya terhadap putusan tersebut tidak dapat dilakukan upaya hukum. Sebagai antisipasi terhadap kemungkinan kesalahan dalam putusan arbitrase maka dibuatlah suatu klausul dalam undang-undang yang mengatur pembatalan putusan arbitrase. Pembatalan adalah suatu mekanisme kontrol terhadap kemungkinan kesalahan arbiter maupun para pihak. Dengan adanya aturan pembatalan dalam undang undang maka putusan tidak bersifat mutlak. Di dalam pelaksanaannya disinyalir sering dipergunakan oleh para pihak, khususnya yang kalah untuk menunda atau mengulur waktu pelaksanaan suatu putusan arbitrase. Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai pembatalan putusan arbitrase maka perlu dilakukan suatu penelitian. Permasalahan yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini adalah, pertama bagaimanakah pengaturan pembatalan arbitrase dalam beberapa peraturan yang berlaku di Indonesia dan yang kedua apa akibat yang timbul dengan adanya klausul pembatalan putusan arbitrase. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah normatif yuridis yakni dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah bahwa syarat pembatalan yang terdapat Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 1999 Tentang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa lebih sempit bila dibandingkan dengan syarat pembatalan putusan arbitrase dalam beberapa peraturan lainnya dan akibat adanya klausula pembatalan maka di satu sisi kesalahan dalam putusan arbitrase dapat dihindari akan tetapi juga memperlambat pelaksanaan putusan, apabila ada gugatan. Berdasarkan kesimpulan ini disarankan agar klausul mengenai pembatalan arbitrase direvisi.

This study aimed to validate a virtual realitybased interactive feedback program as an intervention tool for promoting subjective well-being.Methods Thirty-six males participated in this program, consisting of three tasks constructed based on the theories of positive psychology: ‘Experience-based problem recognition task’, ‘Future self-based success story expression task’, and ‘Strength expression task’. Participants rated visual analog scores associated with each of the tasks’ contents. The concurrent validity of task scores was evaluated by correlations with the psychological scale scores.Results The total task score was positively correlated with scores of Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) emotional wellbeing and psychological well-being, Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, Dispositional Hope Scale agency dimension and pathways dimension, and Life Orientation Test Revised, but not with MHC-SF social well-being scores. After controlling for the effects of the other task scores, the task scores had linear relationships with certain psychological assessments.Conclusion Since the task scores are closely related to indicators of well-being, self-esteem, hope, and optimism, the program contents are well associated with certain aspects of subjective well-being and thus may be available for training that improves subjective well-being through interactive feedback.
