The Comprehensive Appraisal of COVID-19: Its’ Clinical Panorama from Virology till Management and Beyond
Authors: Naqvi Iftikhar Haider , Rizvi Saiyeda Nayema Zehra
Published: July 2020

Severe acute respiratory syndrome, caused by SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19), was first
reported in China, and has laid the entire globe at a standstill, with an uncertain future, and a possible
economic disaster. The World Health Organization (WHO), on March 11th 2020, avowed COVID-19 a
pandemic considering its global pervasiveness. The multi-dimensional challenges include the combat
with present available treatment options while simultaneously hastening scientific research for the development
of definitive therapeutics and vaccine for this pandemic. The research advancement related to
earlier epidemics of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome
(MERS) by the same coronavirus family provides the understanding of basic and clinical virology,
pathogenesis and therapeutics of SARS-CoV-2. The dearth of definitive therapeutics and vaccine renders
COVID-19 pandemic a public health challenge globally. This comprehensive review of virology,
pathogenesis, and management will abet quarters of public health authorities and medical fraternity to
better understand COVID-19.
Aligning the Newspaper and the People: Defining the Popular in the British Press
Authors: Conboy Martin
Published: July 2020

The Daily Mirror developed as the first general picture daily in Britain and had become the nation’s best-selling daily newspaper by the end of the First World War. Its turn to the political left came from the mid-1930s as a marketing ploy to establish a distinctive identity within a crowded middle-market. This commercially astute targeting of a mass readership, delivering the most successful daily newspaper in British history by the mid-1960s, illustrates a great deal of the complexity of the term ‘popular’ when used in relation to mass media. It drew on the traditions of best-selling magazines, Sunday newspapers, and American tabloid pioneers combined with modern techniques of market research to identify a new and broad readership. The explicit integration of readers’ views, deployment of brash headlines, and a bold page layout highlighting photography, in editorial combination, made the paper the forerunner of a distinctly British tabloid style that would become a world-leading trend. Magazine-style features had flowed between various forms of periodicals in Britain throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries but it was the Daily Mirror that perfected an appeal to a young, left-of-centre, popular readership that had hitherto been largely ignored by publishers; an approach that included appealing to female readers in a distinctly ‘modern’ way. This article will centre on definitions of the popular in the formative era 1935–45 and the impact that such a style of popular newspaper would eventually have on the entire British market. In preparing the way for later manifestations of the magazine-newspaper, popular hybrids such as the Sun and the later version of the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror can be seen as the prototype of not just the popular tabloid that would come to dominate the British market but also of the shift to a ‘tabloid culture’ that continues to inform our contemporary legacy and digital news environments.
Visual Humour and the Pocket Cartoon: Osbert Lancaster and a Paradigm Shift in the British Press in the Interwar Years
Authors: Whitworth James
Published: July 2020

During the interwar years in Britain, titles such as the Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, and Daily Express made significant editorial shifts to place themselves within a social paradigm that began to fully embrace ideas of popular culture that were both aspirational and commercially orientated. Taking their lead from the American popular press, these newspapers sought to develop and present a new relationship with their readers that sold an idea of togetherness by working to create strong brands which would engender reader loyalty. Foremost among these innovations was the Daily Express’s introduction of pocket cartoons by Osbert Lancaster in January 1939, a culmination of the changing form and content of visual satire over the previous decade. Technology, along with an increasingly scientific understanding of their target audiences, led Britain’s key popular newspapers to embrace the visual lexicon of news cartoons and include a different level of dialogue with their readers that added a new dynamic to popularization, including the strip cartoon and the joke cartoon. However, it was with the daily news or topical cartoon, and particularly the pocket cartoon, that mass-market newspapers fully embraced the multimodal approach to create the mix of entertainment and information that came to define popular culture in the press from this point.
Greek Illustrated Journals and the ‘Popular’ (1912‒24): In Quest for a New Research Approach
Authors: Immig Nicole
Published: July 2020

This article is a first attempt to analyze a number of Greek popular journals from the first half of the twentieth century in the frame of cultural, media, and historical interrelations and its logical inherences and to investigate them as both autonomous objects of study and a particular form of press, media, and reading product. Starting with an overview of the state of the art, it argues that the journals analyzed, Ελλάς [Hellas] (1907–21), Εικονογραφημένος Παρνασσός [Illustrated Parnassos] (1910–23), Εικονογραφημένη [Illustration] (1904–24), and Μπουκέτο [Bouquet] (1924–46), should be seen as examples of a new media format that introduced a new form of documentation combining the dissemination of encyclopedic knowledge with popular entertainment, innovative forms of representation, and the extensive use of images.
Género y ahorro interno en América Latina
Authors: Rene Caceres Luis
Published: July 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es cuantificar las repercusiones de la desigualdad de género en la tasa de ahorro interno de los países latinoamericanos, así como el impacto de la desigualdad de género en otras variables macroeconómicas e institucionales. Se estiman ecuaciones expresando la tasa de ahorro interno en términos de variables independientes relacionadas con la discriminación de género y con el mercado laboral. Los resultados indican que la desigualdad de género tiene un papel negativo sobre el ahorro, incrementa la vulnerabilidad macroeconómica y debilita las instituciones. Se recomienda que los países de la región emprendan grandes esfuerzos para erradicar la discriminación de género, en el marco de la ejecución de estrategias de género por país. La principal limitación del trabajo es el reducido número de datos en la muestra. La originalidad de este estudio reside en que es el primero que analiza la desigualda de genero, el ahorro y la vulnerabilidad económica en los países de América Latina. Se concluye apuntando que los países de la región deberían incrementar sus esfuerzos para lograr cerrar las brechas en este campo.
Thin film composite polyelectrolyte multilayer nanofiltration membrane fabricated using spin assisted layer by layer assembly: Application of solution diffusion film model
Authors: Alghamdi Ahmad , Fadhillah Farid
Published: July 2020

Thin Film Composite (TFC) Polyelectrolyte Multilayer (PEM) Nanofiltration (NF) membrane consisting of multilayer of Poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDAC) and Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) deposited on  polyethersulfone (PES) support  was prepared using spin-assisted layer by layer assembly (SA-LbL). This work is an effort to discover new material having better characteristics and performance than commercial polyamide (PA) NF membrane. Two main operating conditions namely temperature and salt concentration were investigated and the effect of both on membrane performance was studied. Solution-diffusion Film Model (SDFM) membrane employing two fitting parameters i.e. membrane salt permeability (PS) and stagnant layer salt permeability PS(d), was used to explain membrane transport across the membrane. The result showed an good agreement between experimental and observed rejection rate suggests PEM membrane behaves similar to typical solution diffusion-type  composite membrane and SDFM can be used to predict the membrane performance and behavior.

Published: July 2020

Industrialization plays important role in the economy of developing countries, including increasing community welfare. However, the presence of poorly industries waste disposal system has negative impact to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome this problem with low-cost technology, called adsorption. In this research, silylated-montmorillonite (sMMt) has been successfully prepared as supporting material for adsorption of methylene blue by chitosan. The sMMt was characterized by FTIR, XRD, and elemental mapping techniques. The chitosan/sMMt composites were prepared through dissolution-precipitation method and produced rod-like morphology as observed by SEM. The adsorption process was carried out in a batch method by studying the pH and the adsorption contact time. The adsorption kinetic mechanism of the chitosan/sMMt nanocomposite followed pseudo-second order rather than Lagergren model indicating chemisorption predominant. The addition of silylated-montmorillonite into chitosan enhanced the methylene blue dye removal performance, which evidenced by improving Qe values by 10% compared to chitosan.

Published: July 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

The current COVID-19 pandemic has vastly impacted the health care system in the United States, and it is continuing to dictate its unprecedented influence on the education systems, especially the residency and fellowship training programs. The impact of COVID-19 on these training programs has not been uniform across the board, with plastic surgery residency and fellowship programs among the hardest hit specialties. Implementation of social distancing regulations has affected departmental educational activities, including preoperative, morbidity and mortality conferences and journal clubs; operating room educational activities; as well as the overall education of plastic surgery trainees in the United States. Almost all elective and semielective surgeries across the United States were suspended for a few months during the COVID-19 pandemic; this constitutes a significant portion of plastic surgery cases. Considering the current staged reopening policies, it may be a long time, if ever, before restrictions are completely lifted. In this paper, we review the multidimensional impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the training programs of plastic surgery residents and fellows in the United States and worldwide, along with some potential solutions on how to address existing challenges.

Authors: Hadi Shaymaa M. , Al-Tuâ€™ma Fadhil J. , Al-Zubaidi Riyadh D.
Published: July 2020

Objective: This research has been carried out to evaluate the levels of [25(OH)D3] as well as the correlation between the deficiency levels with the risk of experiencing T2DM in sample of Iraqi population.

Methods: The levels regarding the 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 and the fasting blood sugar (FBG) have been estimated in group of 58 T2DM patients and 31 control subjects of age between (25 - 65 year). The 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 has been estimated via ELISA and fasting blood sugar (FBG) was measured spectrophotometrically.

Results: The levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 have been considerably lower in individuals experiencing T2DM (9.465 Â± 3.567 ng/ml) than in the control group (14.146 Â± 11.045 ng/ml), (P = 0.02) whereas FBG levels were considerably higher in patients experiencing T2DM (218 Â± 66 mg/dl) widespread in comparison to control group (89.8 Â± 9 mg/dl), (P = 0.009). The levels related to the 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 are inversely related to FBG in both diabetic and control group (P = 0.01, r2 = 0.1), (P < 0.01, r2 = 0.2) respectively. VDD is considered to be related to the hazard of experiencing T2DM; also it is highly prevalent in subjects of Iraqi nationality.

Conclusion: VDD is associated to the risk of experiencing T2DM. hypovitaminosis D is very prevalent among the study participants and its percent was higher in female and have a therapeutic implications as cautious supplementation of vitamin D could enhance glycemic control in T2DM.
Optimal probes and error-correction schemes in multi-parameter quantum metrology
Authors: Górecki Wojciech , Zhou Sisi , Jiang Liang , Demkowicz-Dobrzański Rafał
Published: July 2020

We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the possibility of achieving the Heisenberg scaling in general adaptive multi-parameter estimation schemes in presence of Markovian noise. In situations where the Heisenberg scaling is achievable, we provide a semidefinite program to identify the optimal quantum error correcting (QEC) protocol that yields the best estimation precision. We overcome the technical challenges associated with potential incompatibility of the measurement optimally extracting information on different parameters by utilizing the Holevo Cramér-Rao (HCR) bound for pure states. We provide examples of significant advantages offered by our joint-QEC protocols, that sense all the parameters utilizing a single error-corrected subspace, over separate-QEC protocols where each parameter is effectively sensed in a separate subspace.
Top management teams and investment decisions: A study of executive experience and cultural diversity
Authors: Bredthauer Jeff , Dolinsky Max , Taylor Brad
Published: July 2020

We employ an empirical study of mining companies in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) using the upper echelons theory (UET) to explore how the top management team (TMT) perceptions and experiences influence investment decisions. UET is used as it is consistent with the Uppsala internationalization model, which best fits mining companies. We assess past international experiences, nationality diversity, age, and education levels of the TMT in order to determine if these demographics impact the decision to invest in SSA countries. This study also assists in closing the gaps in the literature on how executive experiences impact the investment decision process in an international setting as well as how the cultural composition of the TMT influences corporate decisions.
Cosmology and Hilbert's sixth problem
Authors: Cirkovic Milan
Published: July 2020

There have been tantalizing indications from many quarters of physical
cosmology that we are living in the multiverse - a huge set of cosmological
domains ("universes"). What is the structure of this larger whole is an
entirely open problem on the interface between physics and metaphysics. A
goal of the present paper is to draw attention to the connection between
this problem and an old and celebrated puzzle in mathematical physics. Among
the unresolved problems David Hilbert posed in 1900 as a challenge for the
dawning century, none is more philosophically controversial than the Sixth
Problem, requiring the axiomatization of physical theories. In the new
century and the new millennium, this problem has remained a challenge,
usually swept under the rug as "not belonging to mathematics" (as if that
impacts its epistemical status) or simply "unresolved". Recent radical
ontological/cosmological hypothesis of Max Tegmark, identifying mathematical
and physical structures, might shed some new light onto this allegedly
antiquated subject: it might be the case that the problem has already been
solved, insofar we have formalized mathematical structures! While this can
be seen as "cutting the Gordian knot" rather than patiently resolving the
issue, we suggest that there are several advantages to taking Tegmark's
solution seriously, notably in the domain of (future) physics of the
observer.
Clinical characteristics of mandibular fractures in patients over 50 years of age
Authors: Pankratov Alexander
Published: July 2020

Introduction/Objective. The most commonly used methods of treatment of mandibular fracture are not always successful in older patients. This is due to decreased regenerative ability, impaired vascularization, osteoporosis, and atrophic changes. The corresponding changes are often found in patients over 50 years of age, especially accompanied with teeth loss. The objective was to review the clinical characteristics of mandibular fractures in older patients based on a retrospective analysis of medical records. Methods. A group of patients over 50 years of age was selected and analyzed among patients with mandibular fractures who had been treated for 10 years. Results. A total of 642 patients over 50 years with 1,003 fracture lines were identified. This represents 8.53% of the total number of patients with mandibular fractures. Comorbidities were diagnosed in 67% of cases. Significant differences in the distribution of the frequency of fracture lines by localization were identified, depending on the presence or absence of occlusal contact. A high incidence rate of open fractures and bone fragment dislocation was observed both in individuals with or without occlusive contact. Conclusion. Patients over 50 years of age are a statistically important group in the general population of patients with mandibular fractures with a number of clinical features. To the author?s knowledge, this study comprises the largest number of patients over the age of 50 with mandibular fractures, including those with edentulous mandible, which ensures the required level of representation, allowing reliable clinical characterization of this contingent of patients.

Published: July 2020

Objective: This study aims to describe
differences in healthcare utilization between homeless and non-homeless minors with
diabetes mellitus (DM).

Research Design and Methods: Data from
the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s Statewide Inpatient Database from
New York for years 2009-2014 was examined to identify pediatric patients <18
years old with DM. Outcomes
of interest included: hospitalization rate, in-hospital mortality, admission
through the emergency department (ED), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA),
hospitalization cost, and lengths of stay (LOS). Other variables of
interest included: age group, race/ethnicity, insurance type, and year. Multivariate
logistic regression models were used for in-hospital mortality, admission through ED, and DKA.
Log-transformed linear regression models were used for hospitalization cost,
and negative binomial regression models were used for LOS.

Results: A total of 643
homeless and 10,559 non-homeless cases were identified. The hospitalization
rate was higher among homeless minors, with 3.64 per 1,000 homeless population
and 0.38 per 1,000 non-homeless population, respectively. A statistically
significant higher readmission rate was detected among homeless minors (20.4%
among homeless and 14.1% among non-homeless, p <0.01). Lower rates of DKA (OR 0.75, p=0.02), hospitalization costs (point estimate 0.88, p <.01), and longer LOS (Incidence
Rate Ratio (IRR) 1.20, p <0.01)
were detected among homeless minors compared to non-homeless minors.

Conclusions: This study found
that among minors with DM, those who are homeless experience a higher
hospitalization rate than the non-homeless. Housing instability, among other environmental
factors, may be targeted for intervention to improve health outcomes.

Cytotoxicity of Ethanolic Extract of Papaya Leaves (Carica papaya) and its Fractions on T47D Cells
Authors: Yuliani Ratna , Syahdeni Faisal
Published: July 2020

Breast cancer is a cancer leading cause of high mortality rate in women. Plants produces secondary metabolites with a wide range of activity which one of the activity is anticancer. This research was conducted to investigate the cytotoxic activity of ethanolic extract of papaya leaves (Carica papaya) and its fractions on a breast cancer cell line (T47D). Extraction of the natural compounds from papaya leaves was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol. Fractionation of the extract was done by partition method using water, hexane and ethyl acetate to afford hexane, ethyl acetate and water fractions. The cytotoxicity of the extract and the fractions was tested using MTT assay. Chemical compounds in the ethyl acetate fraction was identified using thin layer chromatography method with silica gel GF 254 as the stationary phase and mixture of hexane and acetone with ratio of 6:4 as the mobile phase. The MTT assay results show that the extract, hexane, and water fraction with concentration of 800 mg/mL do not inhibit the growth of T47D cells whereas the growth of the cells was inhibited by the ethyl acetate fraction with IC50 value of 557.32 mg/mL. The ethyl acetate fraction contains flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, and terpenoids. The ethanolic extract of papaya leaves and the fractions has no potential cytotoxicity on T47D cells.

Authors: Cholisoh Zakky , Rohmah Siti Alfiatur
Published: July 2020

The prescription of medications outside the listed marketing authorizations (MA) is considered off-label. This practice is still frequently occurs in clinical practice. One of the reasons is because the lack of clinical trials and research in babies and neonates. This study was conducted to evaluate the off-label and unlicensed medications, their level of use and further describe the level of evidence of the commonly prescribed off-label and unlicensed medication in this population. Medications prescription and administration to hospitalised babies and neonates were recorded. Medication record data in a year were collected. Medication- licensing status of all drugs administered was determined according to marketing authorization information from monograph. The data then were categorised as off-label and unlicensed if the indication, dosage regimens, age category, and route of administration were not listed in the market authorization of the products. Furthermore the administrations of the most commonly used off-label medications were reviewed based on published journal articles to determine their level of evidence. Total medications administered during a year were 2,576 which were obtained from 139 patients. Of all, 15.25% (339) and 2.69% (69) medications administered were categorised as off-label and unlicensed respectively. Off-label of dosage regimens and route of administration were not identified, but 1.63% (42) medications were used for indications that were not listed in the (MA), and 13,63% (351) were prescribed out of age category of the listed marketing authorization. Off-label drug that often prescribed are salbutamol which had no evidence to support its use; valproic acid which had high level of evidence against its use on baby and neonates; and ondancetron which had high level of evidence to be used outside its marketing authorization.

Improvement of Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme in Hong Kong
Authors: Ho Cheryl C.W , Ng Tommy K.C
Published: July 2020

Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme is a financial support provided by the government to the elderly for having more choices in selecting private primary health care services. It has been launched for more than ten years (including pilot scheme). The success of the voucher depends on its effectiveness so that Hong Kong elderly can benefit from it. The aim of this article is to analyse whether the voucher scheme has achieved its goals and what improvement can be made. The scheme is successful in encouraging the elderly to use private primary care, considering that the participation rate of the scheme is high, and elderly could use private health care services to supplement public health care services. Yet, the amount of the subsidy is insufficient to support the needs of the elderly and the providers of the voucher are not enough for Hong Kong elderly. Also, it is found that private health care services give the old generation an impression of expensiveness and unreliable even with the support of the Health Care Voucher. To improve the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme and solve the problems, the government should increase the amount of the voucher, set standards for regular monitoring, cooperate with private health care providers and invite more providers. Ultimately, the elderly would enjoy greater flexibility in choosing medical services in meeting their needs and the scheme can effectively achieve its purpose.
Deployment of Virtual Reality (VR) to Promote Green Burial
Authors: Lau Yui Yip , Tang YM , Chan Ivy , Ng Adolf K.Y. , Leung Alan
Published: July 2020

Population projections for Hong Kong suggest that the city will accommodate 8.22 million people in 2043. One in every three people are expected to be older than 65 in 2066. The long-held Chinese traditions for burial of deceased with reverence and honour, coupled with the chronic land shortage have presented an excessive demand for cemetery space. Niches are seldom recycled and the inadequate supply of new columbarium niche requires the family of the deceased to consider alternative way for keeping cremated ashes. To ease the demand, “green burial” has been launched and promoted by the HKSAR government through different print and social media. Currently, scattering of cremains in Gardens of Remembrance or at sea are the two common ways to perform green burial. The public acceptance of green burial is still a questionable and is under-researched.

This study is going to deploy innovative technology, virtual reality (VR) to increase physical and psychological fidelity in highly resembled scenarios for the people. On one hand, VR gives immeasurable value to people when they are enabled to navigate different circumstances (physical fidelity) before considering the use of green burial. On the other hand, VR enables the people to engage in different mental processes (psychological fidelity) replicated from an array of cognitive reaction and sentiments with the choice of green burial. In order to optimize the configuration of the VR settings, we will conduct a face-to-face, semi-structured and in-depth interview with different practitioners. In the study, we explore: (1) To what extent the enhancement of physical fidelity of innovative technologies debunk public’s misconception of green burial? (2) To what extent the enhancement of psychological fidelity of innovative technologies debunk public’s misconception of green burial? (3) To what extent the simulated experience derived from innovation technologies change the public acceptance of green burial?
Overview of Palliative Care Service in Hong Kong
Authors: Yee Hilary H.L , Fong Ben Y.F , Ng Tommy K.C
Published: July 2020

Palliative care service is a growing trend for patients with terminal illnesses. The purpose of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for the patients and their family by providing comprehensive care such as symptoms control, pain relief and counselling support. More and more people prefer to spend the final stage of their life in a comfortable environment with adequate care. However, Hong Kong is only ranked 22 in 2015 Quality of Death Index, and hence enhancement of palliative care service is much needed. This review paper aims to evaluate the current resources and development of palliative care service in Hong Kong and suggest improvement of the service. This study reveals that the system in Hong Kong lacks a comprehensive policy, thus limiting organisations to provide the service to small-scale operations and resulting in fragmentation of the co-operation between the public and private sectors. Factors such as professional training, community engagement, culture and financial issues are affecting the development and adequacy of palliative care service.

This study aims to figure the connection of series and parallel pumps to the discharge, pressure and pump power, and to figure the efficiency of series and parallel pumps with energy use. This study was conducted in a mechanical engineering major at Sambas State Polytechnic. The method used was three treatment experiments, including installing a single pump, a series pump installation, and a parallel pump installation. Observed changes are flow rate, water pressure, motor rotation, and electric current. The results showed that the series pump did not affect the discharge, but it affected the pressure and hydraulic power of the pump. While the parallel pump affects the increase in discharge but does not affect the pump pressure and hydraulic power. The results of pump calculations flow rate series 0.000450 m3 / sec, while the parallel pump flow rate 0.000769 m3 / sec. The results of pump measurement pressure are 80 psi series, while the parallel pump pressure is 40 psi. The calculation result of the hydraulic pump is 248.28 Watt series, while the parallel pump hydraulic power is 198.2 Watt.  The power efficiency of series pumps is higher than the efficiency of parallel pumps. The efficiency of electric power when measuring flow rate at 70.53% series pump installations, parallel pump electrical power efficiency of 56.3%. The efficiency of electric power when measuring series water pressure is 45.14%, while the parallel pump's electrical power efficiency is 36.03%.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kenakalan remaja yang tinggal di panti asuhan. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah remaja yang tinggal di panti asuhan yang memiliki karakteristik sesuai dengan pokok permasalahan, yaitu berusia 15-17 tahun yang melakukan kenakalan remaja meliputi merokok, membolos sekolah, berbohong pada pengasuh panti, keluar panti tanpa seijin pengasuh panti. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi: sebagai pengalaman subjektif, suatu studi tentang kesadaran dari perspektif pokok seseorang dengan menggunakan metode observasi dan wawancara dalam pengumpulan data. Metode analisis data menggunakan codding (Moleong, 2007). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa kurang kasih sayang, kurang mampu mengontrol diri, mudah terpengaruh dengan teman-temannya, faktor ekonomi keluarga yang kurang, serta kurang adanya pengawasan dari orang tua, guru serta pengasuh panti membuat remaja panti berperilaku yang bertentangan dengan hukum, agama, dan norma yang berlaku dimasyarakat seperti berkelahi dengan teman, mencuri, merusak, memeras serta mencopet. Remaja juga mencoba-coba hal-hal baru yang dapat merusak dirinya sendiri seperti mencoba merokok, minuman alkohol, mencampur minuman alkohol dengan minuman soda, mencampur minuman alkohol dengan obat penghilang rasa nyeri yang dijual di pasaran atau minuman soda dengan obat penghilang rasa nyeri yang dijual di pasaran, serta minum obat penghilang rasa nyeri yang dijual dipasaran dalam jumlah banyak.

Globally, development and application of vaccines to control fertility in animals is growing relentlessly. Their productive benefits to animal management and welfare are corroborated, while improvement in public perception on their positive impact. This paper reviews current developments in this area, particularly, immunocastration vaccines, upon assessment of application results in recent years. Main targets of these vaccines are proteins of the zona pellucida, the structural proteins of spermatozoa as well as the sexual hormones. Various GnRH-based vaccines with proven effectiveness and efficiency for immunocastration of males and fertility control in females are commercially available today. However, issues like a reduction in the number of immunizations, achieving of increased immunogenicity, and the development new formulations to facilitate the application and release of vaccines in the wide diversity of the animal habitats and in the different conditions of animal husbandry, should be addressed. Fertility control relied on methods that guarantee productive efficiency and animal welfare is an incessant need of modern veterinary medicine practice.

Designing Meeting Point Syi'ah-Sunni in Indonesia
Authors: Jamaruddin Ade , May Asmal
Published: July 2020

Movement of thought always influences the human condition both positive and negative influences. The emergence of a belief stream begins with a movement that seeks to reconstruct, purify, innovate against conventional and normative teachings in a religion. One of the schools of Islam is Syi'ah. This research is library research, which is descriptive, analytical and comparative. The data analysis used is deductive and descriptive normative. The factor of the differences in Syi'ah's character in Indonesia is not because of the Indonesian culture. However, Syiah level of understanding of the doctrine of the Imamate gave birth to a different typology. The Indonesian cultural factors only color the skin, not to change the view of faith. The difference between the understanding of Shi'a and Sunni, according to him, the trigger of conflict and mutual infidelity is to forgive, cannot be united until the end. If the Sunni forgives Syi'ah, clearly the opposite will happen, one way that must be taken is mutual tolerance. The rationale for the Shiites is to practice it because of the reason they hold to a strong proposition. The view of the Syi'ah towards his understanding is the same as that of the Sunnah expert on his understanding.

Aims

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) is often an underdiagnosed and undertreated condition. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and ECG characteristics of MINOCA in a large cohort of patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome.

Methods

All coronary angiograms performed at the University Heart Center in Zurich (Switzerland) between 2012 and 2016 were investigated. MINOCA was defined according to European Society of Cardiology guidelines and patients were divided into two groups, based on the presence or absence of coronary sclerosis at angiogram[nonobstructive coronary artery disease (noCAD) and normal coronary arteries (NCA)]), after exclusion of myocarditis and Takotsubo syndrome.

Results

Out of 13 669 angiographic studies, 3695 were diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome; of these, 244 patients presented MINOCA (6.6%). Patients with noCAD were more likely to be older (67.9 vs. 59.2 years, P < 0.001) with higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension 64.1 vs. 41.2%, P = 0.002; diabetes 19.7 vs. 10.8%, P = 0.036; hypercholesterolemia 36.6 vs. 23.5%, P = 0.037). On surface ECG, anterior ST- segment elevation was more frequent in NCA patients (13.7 vs. 5.0%, P = 0.016). Secondary prevention therapy was significantly more prescribed in noCAD compared with NCA patients (acetylsalicylic acid 68.3 vs. 21.6%, P less than 0.001; statins 76.1 vs. 22.5%, P less than 0.001; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor–AT1 blockers 51.4 vs. 31.3%, P = 0.006). One-year mortality was very low (0.4% for noCAD patients).

Conclusion

noCAD patients were older, with higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and more frequently discharged with secondary prevention therapy. NCA patients presented more frequently anterior ST- segment elevation. Further diagnostic tests should be highly recommended to determine the underlying mechanism of MINOCA.

This study aims to: 1) determine the effect of formulations on cream characteristics, 2) determine the formulations that produce the cream with the best characteristics. The experiments using Randomized Block Design consisted of 5 treatments and were grouped into 3. The cream was stored for 6 weeks and observed every 2 weeks, the 6th week data was tested with analysis of variances, followed by Duncan test. The variables observed were homogeneity, separation ratio, dispersion, stickiness, pH, viscosity, antioxidant capacity. The results of the cream research at 6 weeks were: the treatment had an effect on the spread, viscosity, adhesiveness, pH of cream at 6 weeks, but had no effect on antioxidant activity. During the storage of the cream remains homogeneous and does increase the separation of cream (F = 1), there is an increase in dissolved power and pH but the adhesion, viscosity, and antioxidant activity decreases. The best results are the first formulation (F1) characteristics: homogeneous creams and no separation (F = 1), 4,08 cm spread, 40.758 cp viscosity, 16.2 seconds adhesiveness, IC50 antioxidant activity: 48.39 ?g / mL and pH 8.17.
