Objective: To evaluate the model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in mini-pigs with endocardial approach implantation of CRT-P using bi-electrodes pacing through RV/LV connectors.Methods: All surgical interventions were minimally invasive and conducted under general anaesthesia. CRT-P was implanted endocardially, using X-ray. First electrode was fixed in the right atrial appendage. The second one — in the interatrial septum or the right atrial free wall. Both of them were connected with CRT-P through RV/LV. Bi-electrode atrial stimulation was realized during a week with a basic heart rate of 150 bpm and a delay between electrodes of 80 ms (mean 450 bpm), which corresponds to the heart rate (HR) of AF. Electrophysiological study was performed during the experiment to analyze the cardiac conduction system. AF inducibility was evaluated before and after stimulation.Results: A series of experiments demonstrated that there were no complications following the device and electrodes implantation. There was a non-sustained paroxysm of AF before permanent pacing in one of three pigs. After pacing we noted a tendency to increase the baseline HR (average frequency from 94 ± 4 to 98 ± 6 bpm). Non-sustained paroxysm of AF was induced in all cases. The sustained AF with 92 min burden was induced in one pig.Conclusion: Endocardial bi-electrode atrial pacing in mini-pigs has proven to be safe. This AF model improves AF inducibility and can be considered as an alternative to epicardial stimulation for experiments employing AF models.

Controlled Trials
Authors: Al-Mansouri Loma , AL-Obaidi Firas R. , Bashir  Altaweel Rafid , Soto-Perez-de-Celis Enrique , Al- Farhan Hasan , A Abdullah Noor , Alrubaiy Laith
Published: March 2023

Introduction::

Cancer is associated with a higher risk of venous thromboembolic events
compared to the general population. About one-fifth of patients diagnosed with venous thromboembolic
events have underlying cancer. The guidelines recommend both low molecular weight heparin
and direct oral anticoagulants for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic events.
Further evidence is required to adequately characterize the exact role of direct oral anticoagulants.

Methods::

A systematic review of the literature was done by searching the databases of Medline,
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ClinicalTrials.gov. The analysis
included only randomized controlled trials enrolling adult patients with cancer and venous thromboembolic
events comparing low molecular weight heparin versus direct oral anticoagulants. Duration
of follow-up of at least 6 months was considered as a minimum. The studies had to assess the risk of
thromboembolic recurrence rate, all-cause mortality, and risk of bleeding.

Results::

The final search results led to the inclusion of five randomized controlled trials. The analysis
showed a similar risk of recurrence of venous thrombotic events (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.44-1.17; p =
0.18), mortality risk (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.88-1.17; p = 0.8), and major bleeding (RR 1.05, 95% CI
0.69-1.62; p = 0.81) between the two treatment groups.

Conclusion::

The use of direct oral anticoagulants is a feasible and practical option in ambulatory
cancer patients with venous thromboembolic events. The efficacy and safety are similar to that of low
molecular weight heparin.

Authors: Devi Potsangbam Jolly , Singh Asem Robinson , Singh Naorem Tarundas , Singh Laishram Rupachandra , Devi Sanjenbam Kunjeshwori , Singh Lisam Shanjukumar
Published: March 2023

Background::

In spite of much progress in cancer, the global cancer burden is still significant and increasing.
Sericin, an adhesive protein of silk cocoons, has been shown to be a potential protein in various biomedical applications,
including cancer therapeutics. The present study evaluates the anticancer property of sericin from cocoons of
Antheraea proylei J (SAP) against human lung cancer (A549) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines. This is the first
report of anti-cancer activity of the non-mulberry silkworm A. proylei J.

Objective::

Establish the antiproliferative potential of SAP. 2. Identify the molecular mechanism of cell death induced
by SAP on two different cell lines

Aims::

To investigate the anticancer activity of sericin preparation from cocoons of A. proylei.

Methods::

SAP was prepared from cocoons of A. proylei J. by the process of the degumming method. Cytotoxic activity
was assessed by MTT assay, and genotoxicity was assessed by comet assay. Cleavage of caspase and PARP proteins
and phosphorylation of MAPK pathway members were analysed by Western blotting. Cell cycle analysis was done by
flow cytometer.

Results::

SAP causes cytotoxicity to A549 and HeLa cell lines with the IC50 values 3.8 and 3.9 μg/μl respectively. SAP
induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner through caspase-3 and p38, MAPK pathways in A549 and HeLa cells.
Moreover, in A549 and HeLa cells, SAP induces cell cycle arrest at the S phase in a dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion::

The difference in the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis induced by SAP in A549 and HeLa cell lines
may be due to the difference in the genotypes of the cancer cell lines. However, further investigation is warranted. The
overall results of the present study envisage the possibility of using SAP as an anti-tumorigenic agent.
Moisturizer and COVID-19: Are We Missing a Trick?
Authors: Galiveti Chenna R. , Tantravahi Srinivasan
Published: March 2023

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is reported to be transmitted predominantly by respiratory
droplets and fomites. The regular use of a mask can mitigate the airborne transmission of the Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), but comprehensive prevention of the virus
is possible only when the contact spread of the virus is also addressed. The recommended use of soap and
hand sanitizer (alcoholic hand rub) is effective only until subsequent contact with the virus. Furthermore,
regular and repeated application of these disinfectants is impractical and harmful to the skin. The damage
to the outermost epidermal layers of the skin exposes the Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor
rich keratinocytes, enhancing the scope for percutaneous transmission of virus. Moisturizers, composed
of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, mineral oils, petrolatum, etc., are generally considered cosmetics used
to maintain and enhance skin condition. At very low concentrations, several of these components are
found to neutralize enveloped viruses, indicating their potential antiviral activity. Soaps also generally
contain many of these constituents, making them effective against viruses. Petrolatum, a key component
of occlusive moisturizers, is also said to enhance innate immunity. Additionally, moisturizers also alleviate
inflammation and prevent skin dryness and damage. The periodic and regular application of an appropriate
moisturizer on hand and palm can play a significant role in curtailing the transmission of infectious
agents, including (SARS-CoV-2), and could act as an extra line of defense against microbial infections.
Physical and Cellular Basis of Oncologic Magnetic Thermotherapy
Authors: Ghilini F.
Published: March 2023

Magnetic thermotherapy (MT) for treating solid tumors employs magnetic hyperthermia (MH) protocols. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles -nowadays considered nanomedicines- are delivered to the tumor to induce temperature elevations upon the application of an external alternating magnetic field in the radiofrequency range. This treatment activates cell death pathways and sensitizes cells to other cancer therapies. Much information is available on magnetic materials preparation and functionalization, physical relaxation mechanisms behind magnetic heating, and designed devices for field generation and magnetic material tracking, but further insight is still needed about the nature and characteristics of the cellular response to MH. In this chapter, the physical foundations of MT are thoroughly discussed and complemented by a general overview of the cellular responses induced to counteract the various sources of stress associated with this technology.

Published: March 2023

For the last couple of decades, nickel (Ni) nanostructures are in the focus of active research since they are widely applied in countless walks of modern life. But being tiny magnets, their synthesis in monodisperse form is extremely challenging. In this chapter, we review the recent trends in the synthesis of Ni through chemical reduction routes without the aid of magnetic field, hydrothermal environments, and templates. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized Ni nanostructures can easily be tailored by controlling the reaction conditions. Depending on particle size and morphology, these ferromagnetic nanomaterials have a wide variety of applications in various technological fields.
O que devo fazer para salvar o mundo?: poetas em transe
Authors: Carvalho Bruna Carolina
Published: March 2023

What must I do to save the world? asks a poet on the verge of an atomic war in the Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini’s poem “La navigazione verso Cuba” [“Sailing to Cuba”]. Otherwise, the poet Paulo Martins, a character from Glauber Rocha’s Terra em Transe [Entranced Earth], asks the same question amid political and social disruption in a Third World Atlantic country. This essay puts these two characters in confrontation, considering their crisis between poetry and politics and between history and myth. From there, we will reflect on which world they want to save and what an idea of trance or violence can do before power and strength

Giriş: Çocukluk döneminde yaşanan şiddet kişilerin erişkin yaşamında duygusal, davranışsal ve ruhsal sorunlara sebep olabilmektedir ve ileride kuracakları ailelerinin temel işlevlerini etkileyebilmektedir. Bizler de birinci basamakta, evli bireylerin çocukluk döneminde yaşadıkları şiddeti sorgulayarak ruhsal hastalık risklerine ve aile işlevselliklerine etkisini araştırmayı planlamaktayız. Yöntem: Bu araştırma 1 Nisan-30 Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında Adana İli Seyhan İlçesi’ne bağlı Gürselpaşa Aile Sağlık Merkezi birimlerine kayıtlı 153 evli birey üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik verileri kaydedildikten sonra Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışmaları mevcut olan Şiddet Yaşantıları Ölçeği (ŞYÖ), Hastane Anksiyete Depresyon Ölçeği (HAD) ve Aile Değerlendirme Ölçeği (ADÖ) yüz yüze görüşülerek uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların şiddet yaşantıları ölçeği ortalama puanları 10,36±17,7 iken, %10,5’i yüksek riskli grup olarak belirlendi. ŞYÖ risk sınıflamasına göre risk düzeyi arttıkça kişilerin evlilikle ilgili uyum ve memnuniyet düzeyleri de azalmakta idi. ŞYÖ tüm alt boyutlarında ve toplamda risk sınıflamasına göre risk düzeyleri arttıkça, kişilerin şu andaki anksiyete ve depresyon riskleri artmakta; aile işlevselliklerinin tüm alt faktörleri ise olumsuz yönde etkilenmekteydi Sonuç: Toplumun her kesiminde görülebilen şiddetin çocuklar üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri yaşam boyunca sürebilmektedir. Aile hekimlerinin şiddetin çocuklar üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri konusunda eğitim ve danışmanlık vererek toplumda farkındalık oluşturması, şiddeti tamamen ortadan kaldırmasa bile azaltmaya katkıda bulunacaktır.

Published: March 2023

Aim: The study is carried out to compare the effectiveness of the school accident prevention education given by the educator to the child-to-child education. Method: The study's sample included students in the second, third, and fourth grades of a primary school (n: 321).First, the Educating Educator (EE) and Child-to-Child Education (CCE) groups were created. Afterward, 'training on prevention from school accidents' was given to EE group by the researcher. One day after the training given to the EE group, five students were selected from among the students in the EE group. These students provided 'training on prevention from school accidents' to the students in the CCE group. The researcher used the Individual Identification Form and the Behavior Scale for Safety Measures in School Accidents to collect data. After the training, the post-test was applied to both groups. Demographic and descriptive data were evaluated with number-percentage. Baseline differences between groups were assessed using “t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Mann Whitney U test”. Results: After the training given to the EE, and CCE groups, a statistically significant increase was found between the pre-test and post-test knowledge average scores (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the posttest knowledge average scores of the two methods applied to the EE and CCE groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study found that EE and CCE methods are both effective and that both methods are similar in terms of changing students' behaviors related to safety measures for preventing school accidents.
Visões de educadoras de educação ambiental para o desenvolvimento sustentável: Entre o empoderamento e a orientação de crianças e jovens
Authors: Menezes Isabel , Rios Clementina , Neilson Alison
Published: March 2023

Esta investigação visa desocultar as visões de educadoras sobre a educação ambiental para o desenvolvimento sustentável (EADS), relacionando práticas e o papel das crianças na promoção da cidadania ambiental, por forma a caraterizar a implementação da EADS em escolas com diferentes programas e pedagogias ambientais. Foi realizado um estudo de casos múltiplos, em eco-escolas, escolas da floresta, Krishnamurti e Waldorf. As entrevistas foram realizadas a educadoras de EADS no pré-escolar e no ensino básico. Os resultados apontam diferenças não só pelas pedagogias e programas que orientam a EADS, mas também pela influência do contexto geográfico e sociocultural. A sustentabilidade ambiental é  um dos aspetos mais trabalhados pelas educadoras, embora umas foquem mais as condutas pró-ambiente e outras uma preocupação com formas de vida autossustentáveis. Outro resultado importante é o amor incondicional de humanos e não humanos, como relação que permite a conexão com a natureza.

Published: March 2023

Background

Cognitive-motor dual-task (CMDT) is defined as the parallel processing of motor (eg, gait) and cognitive (eg, executive functions) activities and is an essential ability in daily life. Older adults living with frailty, chronic conditions (eg, neurodegenerative diseases), or multimorbidity pay high costs during CMDT. This can have serious consequences on the health and safety of older adults with chronic age-related conditions. However, CMDT rehabilitation can provide useful and effective therapies for these patients, particularly if delivered through technological devices.

Objective

This review aims to describe the current technological applications, CMDT rehabilitative procedures, target populations, condition assessment, and efficacy and effectiveness of technology-assisted CMDT rehabilitation in chronic age-related conditions.

Methods

We performed this systematic review, following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, on 3 databases (Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed). Original articles that were published in English; involved older adults (>65 years) with ≥1 chronic condition and/or frailty; and tested, with a clinical trial, a technology-assisted CMDT rehabilitation against a control condition were included. Risk of bias (Cochrane tool) and the RITES (Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-Effectiveness Spectrum) tool were used to evaluate the included studies.

Results

A total of 1097 papers were screened, and 8 (0.73%) studies met the predefined inclusion criteria for this review. The target conditions for technology-assisted CMDT rehabilitation included Parkinson disease and dementia. However, little information regarding multimorbidity, chronicity, or frailty status is available. The primary outcomes included falls, balance, gait parameters, dual-task performance, and executive functions and attention. CMDT technology mainly consists of a motion-tracking system combined with virtual reality. CMDT rehabilitation involves different types of tasks (eg, obstacle negotiation and CMDT exercises). Compared with control conditions, CMDT training was found to be pleasant, safe, and effective particularly for dual-task performances, falls, gait, and cognition, and the effects were maintained at midterm follow-up.

Conclusions

Despite further research being mandatory, technology-assisted CMDT rehabilitation is a promising method to enhance motor-cognitive functions in older adults with chronic conditions.
Mobile Assessments of Mood, Cognition, Smartphone-Based Sensor Activity, and Variability in Craving and Substance Use in Patients With Substance Use Disorders in Norway: Prospective Observational Feasibility Study
Authors: Lauvsnes Anders Dahlen Forsmo , Hansen Tor Ivar , Ankill Sebastian Øiungen , Bae Sang Won , Gråwe Rolf W , Braund Taylor A , Larsen Mark , Langaas Mette
Published: March 2023

Background

Patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) are at increased risk for symptom deterioration following treatment, with up to 60% resuming substance use within the first year posttreatment. Substance use craving together with cognitive and mental health variables play important roles in the understanding of the trajectories from abstinence to substance use.

Objective

This prospective observational feasibility study aims to improve our understanding of specific profiles of variables explaining SUD symptom deterioration, in particular, how individual variability in mental health, cognitive functioning, and smartphone use is associated with craving and substance use in a young adult clinical population.

Methods

In this pilot study, 26 patients with SUDs were included at about 2 weeks prior to discharge from inpatient SUD treatment from 3 different treatment facilities in Norway. Patients underwent baseline neuropsychological and mental health assessments; they were equipped with smartwatches and they downloaded an app for mobile sensor data collection in their smartphones. Every 2 days for up to 8 weeks, the patients were administered mobile ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) to evaluate substance use, craving, mental health, cognition, and a mobile Go/NoGo performance task. Repeated EMAs as well as the smartphone’s battery use data were averaged across all days per individual and used as candidate input variables together with the baseline measures in models of craving intensity and the occurrence of any substance use episodes.

Results

A total of 455 momentary assessments were completed out of a potential maximum of 728 assessments. Using EMA and baseline data as candidate input variables and craving and substance use as responses, model selection identified mean craving intensity as the most important predictor of having one or more substance use episodes and with variabilities in self-reported impulsivity, mental health, and battery use as significant explanatory variables of craving intensity.

Conclusions

This prospective observational feasibility study adds novelty by collecting high-intensity data for a considerable period of time, including mental health data, mobile cognitive assessments, and mobile sensor data. Our study also contributes to our knowledge about a clinical population with the most severe SUD presentations in a vulnerable period during and after discharge from inpatient treatment. We confirmed the importance of variability in cognitive function and mood in explaining variability in craving and that smartphone usage may possibly add to this understanding. Further, we found that craving intensity is an important explanatory variable in understanding substance use episodes.

UNSTRUCTURED

Chronic pain is one of the most significant health issues in the United States, affecting more than 20% of the population. Despite its contribution to the increasing health crisis, reliable predictors of disease development, progression, or treatment outcomes are lacking. Self-report remains the most effective way to assess pain, but measures are often acquired in sparse settings over short time windows, limiting their predictive ability.
In this paper, we present a new mobile health platform called SOMAScience. SOMAScience serves as an easy-to-use research tool for scientists and clinicians, enabling the collection of large-scale pain datasets in single- and multicenter studies by facilitating the acquisition, transfer, and analysis of longitudinal, multidimensional, self-report pain data. Data acquisition for SOMAScience is done through a user-friendly smartphone app, SOMA, that uses experience sampling methodology to capture momentary and daily assessments of pain intensity, unpleasantness, interference, location, mood, activities, and predictions about the next day that provide personal insights into daily pain dynamics. The visualization of data and its trends over time is meant to empower individual users’ self-management of their pain.
This paper outlines the scientific, clinical, technological, and user considerations involved in the development of SOMAScience and how it can be used in clinical studies or for pain self-management purposes. Our goal is for SOMAScience to provide a much-needed platform for individual users to gain insight into the multidimensional features of their pain while lowering the barrier for researchers and clinicians to obtain the type of pain data that will ultimately lead to improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic pain.

Medokan Ayu Mangrove Botanical Garden is one of the ecotourism areas located on the east coast of the city of Surabaya, East Java. The ecoutourism is managed by the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) Medokan Ayu. The management carried out is still conventional and before the Covid-19 pandemic, the level of tourist visits on the weekends was quite high, with around 100 more visitors. Pokdarwis Medokan Ayu faced problems when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. The number of visitors to Medokan Ayu Mangrove Botanical Garden has decreased by almost 90% especially on weekends. The solution to this problem is the promotion of the Medokan Ayu Mangrove Botanical Gardens online through the Pokdarwis.id website. Community service acitivities are carried out using training methods. The training activities include four stages, namely coordination with partners, training, mentoring and evaluation. The training activities took place twice and were carried out offline. The first training is related to website operation., and the second training is calendar content creation and copywriting. Based on the results of the activity evaluation, several Pokdarwis administrators were able to operate the Pokdarwis website. Some administrators can manage the Pokdarwis website and realize the importance of online promotion supported by interesting and selling content. The benefits of the training increased the creativity of Pokdarwis management in the management of the Medokan Ayu Mangrove Botanical Gardens. Based on the results of the evaluation through filling out questionnaires by some training participants, the implementation of community service activities received a positive response, and community service team continued to provide assistance related to website management such as suggestions submitted by partners.

BUMDes Cibadak Mandiri has stopped operating, so to revive it, it must be replaced by new management. The new management seeks apartner to restore and run the business. The "Dosen IPB Mengabdi" program in BUMDes Cibadak Mandiri aims to assist management in analyzing and evaluating previous management problems, determining business priorities, and motivating new management. The method used in analyzing the problem was a fishbone diagram with a participatory approach and used the brainstorming approach to determine priority business. Management, business unit leaders, and local participants attended the activity. The six main issues found were a need for more capability of human resources, capital, business partner responsibilities, unstructured organization/management, nonperforming loan, and lack of market understanding. Several alternatives were proposed by participants, such as gathering/workshops, training, looking for committed people, investors, and open recruiting volunteers. At the same time, the business priorities that should be carried out are karst mountain tourism, distribution and management of clean water (PAM), and bottled drinking water (AMDK). The methods were conducted to raise awareness of the new board and the role of related stakeholders, especially agreements in describing problems, alternative solutions, and choices of BUMDes business priorities. These processes give valuable insight into the current state of management to reactivate of BUMDes and alternatives action to tackle this situation.
Pre-Modern Islam: The Practice of Tasawwuf and its Influence in the Spiritual and Literary Cultures
Authors: Kashif Summaiya
Published: March 2023

The modern narrative of Islam is one which differs from the pre-colonial narrative. The practice of Tasawwuf is a sacred one and not many people are aware of the actual core and values of it. However, its concepts of Tawheed, Ihsan, and Tahqiq have been present since pre-colonial South Asian Islam. This paper focuses on pre-modern South Asian Islamic traditions along with the influence of Tasawwuf during the Mughal era and their evolution with time by comparing them to global Islamic traditions while outlining some similarities as well by exploring the literary culture. This paper argues how Islam now is a rigid system but that had not always been the case and also rebuttals the claims of western historians.
My students do not get Engaged in Speaking Activities in the Classroom
Authors: Saud Mahesh Singh
Published: March 2023

Being a teacher I have been coming across many classroom issues as real problems. Among them, I dealt with students’ less engagement in speaking activities aiming to identify the issues of students’ less engagement in speaking activities and to increase students’ participation actively in speaking activities. For that I conducted the interview with head teacher for getting permission and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with students where I found some issues such as mispronunciation of words, nervousness about making mistakes, weak English, lack of vocabulary, and weak sentence construction, hesitant of being wrong in their activities because of which they were unable to engage themselves in speaking activities. And classroom activities/intervention and observation were further used for data to be analysed. I used pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies, presentation and role play activities to increase their active participation in speaking activities. In this study, I found that pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies were just effective to develop pronunciation and word-meaning skills for speaking. While presentation and role play activities were found more meaningful for developing students’ speaking skills.

experiencia de la luz natural en la arquitectura moderna en Chile
Authors: Araya De Pablo Romina Daniela
Published: March 2023

Cuando hablamos de arquitectura moderna especialmente en América del Sur y las adaptaciones que ésta tuvo sobre los manifiestos instaurados en este período, la ex Estación de Biología Marina de Montemar del arquitecto Enrique Gebhard es sin duda un referente, principalmente en su arraigo al paisaje del lugar.En este diálogo entre obra y paisaje, el objetivo de esta investigación busca volver a valorizar las estrategias de aprovechamiento y control de luz natural, tomando como caso de estudio la obra de Montemar, construida entre 1941 y 1959.Los resultados del proceso llevado a cabo dieron cuenta que, los espacios interiores analizados del edificio, se componen del paisaje, los elementos de control y aprovechamiento de la luz natural, el cuerpo presente y los objetos, y que la proyección de las sombras de esta composición y sus ganancias lumínicas, construyen un espacio enriquecido por la continuidad. Para que esto se produzca tiene que estar presente la orientación poniente, una respuesta idónea a la reflexión de sus revestimientos, el espesor del espacio y la adecuada respuesta de las estrategias combinadas. La posibilidad de resignificar la luz natural al interior de una obra de arquitectura moderna, pensando en sus futuras transformaciones, contribuye al cuidado de su fragilidad.
