Published: July 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory syndrome disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). This virus has mutations that cause its transmission to speed up so it requires a fast detection method to prevent such transmission. The detection method that becomes gold standard is RT-qPCR (reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction). The disadvantage of the RT-qPCR method is that the long detection time and nasopharyngeal swab sampling cause discomfort in the patient. One alternative method of detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is colorimetric saliva based RT-LAMP (reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification). The advantage of the RT-LAMP method is that it is fast and accurate. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of the RT-LAMP saliva-based colorimetric method to use thermal cyclers as an alternative to SARS-CoV-2 detection in Indonesia. This study used the primary design of SARS-CoV-2 Indonesia. The samples used were positive and negative saliva for COVID-19 based on RT-qPCR test results from PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Yogyakarta City. The research stages include optimization of RT-LAMP conditions, saliva sampling followed by colorimetric visualization of results and electrophoresis. Colorimetric testing was carried out with the addition of phenol red and observed a change in color from pink to yellow. The results showed that RT-LAMP can run optimally at 65 Â°C for 45 minutes. Colorimetric RT-LAMP testing in this study was ineffective because it could not detect positive samples compared to electrophoresis results. Factors that cause this include a small number of amplicons, incompatible RT-LAMP reagents used for colorimetric methods using phenol red, and phenol red which cannot work optimally so that it requires a new or more appropriate pH indicator. It is necessary to conduct further research by replacing other visualization methods such as replacing pH indicators or by fluorescence methods.Â

Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated chronic disease conditions and health disparities, especially in patients with hypertension. Hypertension is the most comorbid disease that increases the risk of worsening and even death in people with Covid-19. Although this disease has a fairly large mortality rate, the practice of independent care carried out by patients can reduce the risk of death by 50% compared to those who do not. This research aims to find out the practice of self-care and related factors in patients with hypertension during the COVID-19 pandemic in the working area of Puskesmas Gamping II Yogyakarta. This research is a cross-sectional study involving 46 respondents with hypertension aged 35 years, and over. The research process was carried out offline by implementing health protocols. Data were collected using the Hypertension Self-Care Activity Level Effects Scale (H-SCALE) questionnaire. The results of this study showed that all participants did not drink alcohol (100%). More than half of the participants had good adherence to physical activity (76.1%), nonsmoking (73.9%), and weight management (58.7%). The lowest self-care practices were dietary adherence (32.6%) and medication (34.8%). Based on data analysis with the Chi-Square test, two factors influence the self-care practice of patients with hypertension: education level associated with adherence to avoiding smoking (p = 0.05) and employment status associated with compliance with weight management (p = 0.01). The results of this study still show that most people with hypertension still experience obstacles in carrying out independent care, especially in diet and taking medication. The restriction of services by healthcare centers during the pandemic and the fear and worry of hypertensive patients affect the compliance of hypertensive patients in conducting health checks at healthcare centers.

Various conditions that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia had a psychological effect on the community. This is because the COVID-19 pandemic is a severe stressor. Mental health disorders that occur during a pandemic include anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between levels of anxiety, stress, and depression with the degree of insomnia in overseas students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used in this study was probability sampling with simple random sampling on overseas students in Yogyakarta. The data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square and logistic regression tests with the SPSS program. Based on the chi-square test, the results showed that there was a relationship between anxiety, stress, depression on insomnia, each having a p-value of 0.012, 0.001, and 0.000. The results of the logistic regression test on the variables of anxiety, stress, and depression obtained an R-Square value of 0.455. This value means that the variables of anxiety, stress, and depression influence 45.5% of insomnia disorders. Thus, the levels of anxiety, stress, and depression affect the degree of insomnia of overseas students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, positive activities and psychological and physical health consultations are needed by overseas students to reduce levels of anxiety, stress, and depression that lead to insomnia during the pandemic.

Published: July 2024

Breast care during the puerperium can flex and strengthen the nipples, stimulate milk production, and keep the breasts clean, especially the nipples. The process of lactation, or breastfeeding, is the process of forming breast milk, which involves the hormones prolactin and oxytocin. Breastfeeding needs to be learned, among other things, by learning how to hold the baby so that he can suckle properly and adjust the body position so that he feels comfortable during breastfeeding. Often, breastfeeding failures are caused by incorrect positioning and attachment of the baby. The nipples become chafed so that the mother is reluctant to breastfeed, milk production decreases, and the baby becomes too lazy to suckle. The aim is to find out the effect of using the Soppa application (Simulation Oxytocin Planned Parenthood by Android) on the cognitive and psychomotor improvement of breastfeeding mothers. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experiment research design. The research design used a pre- and post-test without a control group design. This study wanted to know about cognitive and psychomotor changes in breastfeeding mothers and family planning using the SOPPA application. The results of the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 0.0001, so H0 was rejected, which means that there is an effect of using the Soppa application (Simulation Oxytosin Planned Parenthood by Android) on the cognitive and psychomotor improvement of breastfeeding mothers.

Theoretical and empirical accounts of conduct disorder (CD) suggest problems with reinforcement learning as well as heightened impulsivity. These two facets can manifest in similar behaviour, such as risk-taking. Computational models that can dissociate learning from impulsively initiating actions are essential for understanding the cognitive mechanisms underlying CD. Here, a large, international sample of youths from 11 European countries (N = 1418, typically developing (TD) n = 742, CD n = 676) completed a passive avoidance learning task. We used computational modelling to disentangle reward and punishment learning from action initiation. Punishment learning rates were significantly reduced in youths with CD compared to their TD peers, suggesting that they did not update their actions based on punishment outcomes as strongly. Intriguingly, those with CD also had a greater tendency to initiate actions regardless of outcomes, although their ability to learn from reward was comparable to their TD peers. We additionally observed that variability in action initiation correlated with self-reported impulsivity in youths with CD. These findings provide empirical support for a reduced ability to learn from punishment in CD, while reward learning is typical. Our results also suggest that behaviours appearing superficially to reflect reward learning differences could reflect heightened impulsive action initiation instead. Such asymmetric learning from reward and punishment, with increased action initiation, could have important implications for tailoring learning- based interventions to help those with CD.
International “Society of the Spectacle”
Authors: Byshok Stanislav O. ,   Specialist, Faculty of Political Science, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia
Published: July 2024

The present crisis in international relations manifests itself in several domains, including diplomatic communication. Attempts to find common ground have become increasingly rare, and ultimatums more frequent. Devoid of substance, international dialogue has become more emotional. Traditionally reserved and kept behind closed doors, diplomatic communication is now exposed to the general public, with contradictions deliberately highlighted and discussions theatricalized. This article explores new forms of international dialogue using the concept of ‘society of the spectacle’ proposed by philosopher Guy Debord. Originally developed to study the socio-political and economic dynamics within individual countries in the late capitalist era, this concept is applied here to interstate relations, specifically to analyze diplomatic communication amidst the current crisis.

The article explores the main achievements and limitations of the Russia- ASEAN strategic partnership. The author reassesses the existing theoretical and methodological approaches to analyzing: the format of strategic partnership; states’ goal-setting in the pursuit of such a bilateral relationship; and its main features as a “new” model of interstate relations. The author proposes an updated classification of a strategic partnership’s characteristics, and on this basis concludes that the real content of Russia-ASEAN relations does not match their nominal form.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a crucial staple food, particularly in Indonesia, one of the largest rice-producing countries. Proper storage of rice grains is essential to maintain their quality and quantity. This research aims to develop a smart rice grain storage prototype based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that can monitor temperature, humidity, and light intensity in real-time. The method used is Design-Based Research (DBR), involving six stages: focus, understanding, definition, conception, creation, and testing. The prototype utilizes DHT22 sensors for temperature and humidity, LDR sensors for light intensity, and soil moisture sensors, all integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller. Data collected from the sensors are sent to a cloud-based platform for analysis and early warnings if storage conditions are unsuitable. The results indicate that the prototype effectively monitors storage conditions and provides accurate data. System testing shows that all components function according to specifications. This prototype helps maintain grain quality and reduce damage risk during storage. The use of IoT in grain storage enhances efficiency and reduces farmers' costs. Future research should focus on developing more advanced prototypes with automatic control features and mobile application integration.

Authors: Pandey Ankita
Published: July 2024

Our knowledge of how radiation affects primary and secondary liver tumours is still developing. Decades ago, radiation delivery methods that treated large numbers of patients also cautioned against using radiation for definitive and palliative care. Over time, the function of radiation therapy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma has changed. New information regarding HCC therapy choices has been made possible by the capacity to administer a tumoradical dose to liver lesions while protecting the normal parenchyma surrounding them. The purpose of the review article is to cone down various treatment approaches that were traditionally used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and the gradual adaptation of the radiation therapy to treat lesions that failed to respond to other therapies.
Sensitive Organ Doses and Cancer Implication Due to Background Radiation Exposure in Federal University Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Nigeria
Authors: Samaila Buhari
Published: July 2024

Due to its detrimental impact on human health, environmental background ionizing radiation contamination and degradation are a major concern worldwide. Risk to public health is one of Nigeria's top environmental and societal concerns. The public's exposure to the environment was significantly influenced by the natural background radiation emissions from the earth's crust, food, water, and building materials. 82% of the population's background radiation exposure comes from sources that are out of control, including internal, cosmic, and external radiation. The current work aimed to conduct an investigational study of the background radiation exposure to sensitive organs from both indoor and outdoor sources, identify areas with high or low BIR, and evaluate the cancer risk to sensitive organs among residents of Federal University Birnin Kebbi based on absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose equivalent, and excess life cancer risk to sensitive organs. Using a nuclear radiation detector, background radiation exposure indoors and outside was determined. One meter was maintained between the detector and the ground. The Overall average radiation dose rate, annual effective dose rate, and cancer risks of all the locations within FUBK were found to be 0.118µSv/hr, 0.828mSv/yr, and 2.898×10-4. The mean sensitive organ dose was found to be 0.681 mSv/yr, 0.617 mSv/yr, 0.734 mSv/yr, 0.872 mSv/yr, 0.489 mSv/yr, and 0.723mSv/yr for Lung, Ovaries, Bone Marrow, Tests, Kidney, and Whole Body respectively, while the mean cancer risks to each organ were 2.382×10-4, 2.159×10-4, 2.568×10-4, 3.052×10-4, 1.712×10-4, and 2.531×10-4 for Lung, Ovaries, Bone Marrow, Tests, Kidney and Whole Body respectively. The faculty of education has the greatest dose rate, annual effective dose rate, and ELCR, according to the findings that were presented. Because the buildings were recently built and are not occupied by staff or students, no radon emission could escape due to inadequate ventilation, which may be the cause of the rise in radiation exposure. Due to the sensitivity of test organs to radiation than other organs, they have the greatest Dose rate, annual effective dose rate, and ECLR. Based on the results, it can be said that neither University staff nor students need to be concerned about the radiation levels in various FUBK buildings since the average values of annual effective dose and cancer risks were remarkably in line with the acceptable limits of 1.0mSv/yr and 2.93×10-4 except for the test organ cancer risk. Moreover, the management of FUBK is encouraged to thoroughly evaluate the building materials and select one with lower radon emission in collaboration with contractors and the government. The amounts of exposure to radioactive elements in buildings should be determined by taking samples of construction materials such as cement, soil, paint, water, etc. for radioactive elemental analysis.

Produtos cárneos são aqueles obtidos de carnes, de miúdos e de partes comestíveis das diferentes espécies animais, com as propriedades originais das matérias-primas modificadas por meio de tratamento físico, químico ou biológico, ou ainda pela combinação destes métodos em processos que podem envolver a adição de ingredientes, aditivos ou coadjuvantes de tecnologia. O ritmo cotidiano exige maior praticidade nas tarefas diárias, bem como a busca por economia de tempo, o que se relaciona à alimentação, quanto à alta demanda de produtos de rápido preparo. Assim, objetivou-se com este estudo, avaliar o perfil de consumo e as percepções dos consumidores acerca da saudabilidade dos produtos cárneos. Para isso, elaborou-se pelo Google Forms um questionário contendo 16 questões acerca do tema e do perfil dos entrevistados. Este ficou disponível on-line nas redes sociais por 15 dias, obtendo-se 270 respostas, com predominância na região Nordeste. Diante dos resultados, revelou-se que 94,40% dos entrevistados cosumiam produtos cárneos, ao menos 2 vezes por semana (23,80%), a exemplo de linguiça (45,7%) e os frios (mortadela, presunto, apresuntado, salame e salsicha) (45,7%). Uma elevada parte dos respondentes estavam insatisfeitos em relação a sua própria alimentação, como também o maior consumo de produtos cárneos no atual cenário, mesmo a maioria (68,10%) tendo conhecimento de que os mesmos são responsáveis por diversas Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNTs). Estes resultados podem ser úteis para a indústria cárnea, que levaria à otimização desses produtos, promovendo o desenvolvimento ou aperfeiçoamento de produtos que possam ser atrativos e menos prejudiciais a saúde do consumidor.

A soja, um dos principais produtos agrícolas do Brasil - segundo maior produtor mundial da leguminosa - possui enorme importância e influência na economia do país. Assim a ocorrência de falhas na semeadura/plantio são fatores muitas vezes não considerado na decisão do  número de  sementes  a  serem  semeadas  por  metro  linear  e  na estimativa da população final, pode ocasionar uma grande redução da produtividade na lavoura. Um melhor controle e gerenciamento dos sistemas de produção, através do monitoramento por Veículos Aéreos não Tripulados (VANT´s), torna-se possível analisar as condições fitossanitárias, bem como o potencial produtivo, e principalmente, falhas decorrentes do processo de implementação da cultura e do seu manejo. Com isso, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar possíveis problemas no sistema de semeadura e estimar a uniformidade semeadura da soja, por meio de imagens georreferenciadas, a fim de proporcionar um melhor manejo. Para atender o objetivo, foram utilizadas imagens adquiridas com auxílio de um veículo aéreo não tripulado (VANT) de uma área cultivada com soja em sistema de plantio direto, localizada no campo experimental do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul campus de Nova Andradina-MS, as imagens foram processadas pelo software ImageJ e analisadas para contabilização e determinação da porcentagem de área com falhas de semeadura. Desta forma, a metodologia apresentada pode otimizar os trabalhos de identificação de falhas na semeadura da cultura da soja com uso de VANT´s, no entanto, quanto tratamos de aplicações comerciais, faz-se necessário treinamento técnico de pessoal, tanto para a pilotagem da nave e imageamento, como para interpretação e processamento digital de imagens, mesmo se apresentando como simples e de fácil uso. Esse código não se limita apenas a cultura da soja, podendo ser aplicado com bons resultados em outras culturas. Para a imagem analisada o código se apresentou de forma satisfatória, podendo ser recomendado para áreas que sejam cultivadas com soja resultado em boas predições de falhas.

У статті представлене дослідження особливостей управління туристичною дестинацією в умовах воєнного часу, обгрунтовано основні проблеми управління дестинацією в цих умовах, що перешкоджають управлінню туристичною дестинацією у воєнний час. Автори виконали комплексне дослідження критичних факторів, що впливають на стратегічне управління туристичними дестинаціями у непрогнозованих умовах війни. Визначено завдання та основні особливості стратегічного управління за таких обставин. Проаналізовано тенденції розвитку туристичного підприємництва в Україні, систематизовано основні проблеми і загрози. Автори систематизували та узагальнили виклики, з якими зіштовхуються в умовах воєнного стану суб’єкти туристичного підприємництва, серед яких: зниження туристичного попиту, вимушений переїзд значної частини населення, обмеження на виїзд за кордон для чоловіків, закрите небо, зростання операційних витрат, зниження безпеки туристів та інше. Зазначається, що інструментами вирішення цих проблем можуть стати розробка нових турів та переорієнтація туристичної діяльності на більш перспективні туристичні напрямки в умовах військових конфліктів. Досліджено переваги туристичних дестинацій як основи формування оптимальної стратегії управління в умовах воєнного часу. Акцентовано увагу на стратегічні та тактичні можливості для підтримки розвитку туристичного підприємництва у контексті сучасних викликів. Наукова новизна отриманих результатів полягає у комплексному вивченні даної проблематики та знаходженні нових підходів щодо управління туристичними напрямками в умовах невизначеності. Методологічною основою дослідження є загальнотеоретичні та специфічні методи, зокрема, метод логічного узагальнення, порівняльного аналізу, теоретичної інтерпретації, а також аналітичний, системний методи, порівняльний аналіз і систематизація. Результати проведеного дослідження можуть бути корисними у практичній роботі туристичних підприємств, які прагнуть підвищити ефективність своєї господарської діяльності в умовах воєнного часу.
