A Practice-Oriented Benchmark Strategy to Predict the UV-Vis Spectra of Organic Photocatalysts
Authors: Fehér Péter Pál , Madarász Ádám , Stirling András
Published: November 2022

With this work, we wish to facilitate further developments in photocatalysis by proposing reliable methods for the computational pre-screening of potential photocatalysts. To this end we have developed a new benchmark strategy and we have applied it to evaluate the predictions given by two wavefunction and several density functional theory (DFT) methods for the UV-vis absorption spectra of recently developed organic photocatalyst molecules. The novelty in our benchmark framework is that it focuses on evaluating the real-world applicability of computational methods and does not penalize errors that do not contribute to spectral shapes. We employ a spectral fitting process where the calculated excitations are convoluted with Gaussians using two parameters for broadening and wavelength scaling. This way, most methods can sufficiently reproduce the experimental spectra, but they differ in how much adjustment they require from the parameters. Overall, the double hybrids (with the notable exception of DSD-BLYP) are the best functionals that offer highest predictive power as they require practically no scaling. They are exceptionally good in estimating the excitation energies with almost 90% of the fitted spectra falling into the ±10% scaling window. This is the same level of accuracy as what the STEOM-DLPNO-CCSD correlated wavefunction method provides. In terms of cost efficiency, M06 emerges as the best functional. It compensates a slightly less consistent performance with lower computational demand and availability in nearly all computational codes. Therefore, we recommend the use of double-hybrid and M06 functionals for developing novel photocatalysts and we also highlight that M06 can be used as a black-box method even by those who are non-experts in computational chemistry. The developed protocol and a user-friendly notebook to assist the analysis are available on GitHub.

Published: November 2022

Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity. Pneumonia is defined as a lung inflammation of infectious etiology. It can be subcategorized into Community Acquired Pneumonia, Hospital Acquired Pneumonia and Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia. Validated scores including the CRB-65, CURB-65 and PSI can guide decision-making between inpatient and outpatient management of pneumonia. While mild presentations can be managed through empiric treatment alone, more acute cases require identification of the infectious agent, initiation of empiric therapy, and subsequent de-escalation of treatment to the identified pathogen. This article aims to provide a framework for junior trainees to diagnose and manage pneumonia.

Authors: Fung David , Abdulrehman Yaasin
Published: November 2022

Renal replacement therapy is the definitive treatment for end stage renal disease apart from transplant. Steal syndrome, which can lead to distal limb ischemia, is a rare but serious complication in patients who undergo hemodialysis with an arteriovenous fistula. We present a case of a 48-year-old female with limited options for dialysis access who presented with symptoms of steal syndrome. Given the need to keep her current fistula, we opted to treat her with distal radial artery ligation. This case report summarizes the various surgical techniques available for treating dialysis access-associated steal syndrome and why distal radial artery ligation should be considered a viable management strategy, especially in the context of our patient.
Rewarding progress: Effective learning strategies through a variable ratio incentive-based approach in medical education
Authors: Aziz Rizk Abanoub , Mourad Nicolas , Saad Marina , Aziz Rizk Emanuel , Saad Meena
Published: November 2022

Medical students are faced with many unprecedented challenges, one of which is the large amount of material they are required to learn and retain. While effective learning strategies have been thoroughly researched, stress levels amongst medical students remain very high due to perceived failure to retain material, suggesting that novel methods of implementing such existing strategies are required. Aside from stress levels, additional challenges in medical education include the incorporation of inconsistent testing methods and the challenge of accommodating different learning styles and preferences. A more evidence-based approach that aims to cover many learning styles at once may be desirable. The aim of this commentary is to present some of the current learning and teaching strategies utilized within medical education across the world and to promote a novel supplementary approach to medical education involving a variable ratio incentive-based system of active recall and spaced repetition. This system aims to reward small achievements throughout the semester and complements formal structured examinations in order to motivate students. While this model has yet to be tested, we hope to motivate medical faculty to pilot a program with these evidence-based strategies in mind.

Công tác giao đất lâm nghiệp cho cộng đồng quản lý gắn với việc thực hiện chính sách chi trả dịch vụ môi trường rừng là một hoạt động mang lại nhiều lợi ích, không chỉ nâng cao đời sống của đồng bào dân tộc thiểu số mà còn góp phần bảo vệ rừng một cách hiệu quả. Do đó, mục đích của nghiên cứu này là đánh giá công tác giao đất, giao rừng cho cộng đồng quản lý ở xã Hồng Kim, huyện A Lưới, tỉnh Thừa Thiên Huế sau hơn sáu năm thực hiện chính sách chi trả dịch vụ môi trường rừng. Kết quả cho thấy, xã Hồng Kim đã tiến hành giao đất, giao rừng tự nhiên cho sáu cộng đồng quản lý và bảo vệ với tổng diện tích 397,90 ha, chiếm 10,2% tổng diện tích rừng của xã. Thu nhập từ chính sách chi trả dịch vụ môi trường rừng đem lại nguồn thu trung bình khoảng 200 triệu/năm/cộng đồng. Tỷ lệ che phủ rừng tăng 3,3% (từ 90,5% năm 2013 đến 93,8% năm 2019) sau khi áp dụng chính sách này. Đời sống và thu nhập của người dân có cải thiện nhưng không đáng kể. Do đó, mỗi cộng đồng cần có các giải pháp thích hợp và hỗ trợ nhiều hơn cho các cá nhân và hộ gia đình tham gia vào công tác bảo vệ rừng.

Published: November 2022

Background Phosphoric acid is commonly used in the industry based synthetic beverages to enhance tangy taste in coke drink. The WHO and Food and agriculture organization of the United Nations have not established a recommended concentration for such drinks. Consumption of phosphorus additive containing diets like meat cheese and carbonated drinks causes various adverse health risks and also the chronic use of acidulant increases the risk of acquiring non-communicable diseases NCDs. Objective To determine the effect of phosphoric acid content of carbonated drinks on enzyme mediated proteolysis.Methods An in-vitro study involving the dephosphorylated casein substrate subjected to proteolysis by treating with trypsin in presence of carbonated beverage medium containing phosphoric acid was conducted. The proteolytic activity was determined by comparing with standard proteolysis medium and the resulting peptides were estimated by Lowryrsquos method. Results The inorganic phosphate content of two samples of carbonated coke was 35 mgdL and 27.5 mgdL respectively. The findings of the study have shown significant difference among normal digestive power of trypsin between standard proteolysis medium and under the influence of phosphoric acid containing carbonated coke beverage medium.Conclusion We conclude that this study has provided the information that phosphoric acid containing carbonated drink has an effect on trypsin enzyme activity which facilitates the higher rate of proteolysis.

Published: November 2022

Background Plateletpheresis is a process in which the whole blood is collected from a donor platelets alone are separated and the remaining blood components are infused back to the donor. Recently the use of single donor platelet SDP concentrates has grown steadily due to its employment in chemotherapy protocols. However plateletpheresis requires citrate to be infused so that clotting of the extra corporeal blood can be prevented in the apheresis machine.Despite compensatory mechanisms citrate infusion can result in decrease in calcium levels to a point where symptoms develop in the donor.Objective To compare pre donation and post donation calcium status in donors and analyse the statistical differences and to study the adverse effects of calcium deficiency among the donors.Methodology The study was conducted at Swamy Vivekananda charitable blood bank Bellary and sixty donors were recruited for the study. Standard operating procedures derived from Director General of Health Services DGHS guidelines for donor selection were followed. Pre and post donation calcium status was estimated and analysed statistically.Results Among the sixty healthy donors 25 had modest levels of calcium ranging from 8.5-9.8 mgdL with negligible symptoms and 17 had low levels ranging from 8.0-8.8 mgdL with mild symptoms. None of the cases had any serious complications even though the results showed statistically significant difference in pre donation and post donation calcium levels.Conclusion Plateletpheresis performed on cell separators are safe and decrease in post donation calcium levels do not cause serious clinical manifestations. Proactive donor vigilance and supervision by transfusion medicine specialist will make donors safe and encourage voluntary donation.

The realization of the goals and tasks of modern preschool education depends to a large extenton the coordinated efforts of the family and the kindergarten. Unfortunately, in the practical-applied aspect the interaction „kindergarten – family“ is not constituted on the knowledge of the educational orientations, claims and life-pedagogical opportunities of modern Bulgarian parents. In practice, the forms of cooperation with parents in the educational system are realized without researching family attitudes and by „setting“ the family social guidelines for raising children, without taking into account its specifics and capabilities as an emotional and personal educational environment. This presumed position is convenient for many parents and they seek to transfer their educational responsibilities to children’s institutions. At the same time, the assumption is that teachers are no longer the main source of pedagogical information. The subject of the report is a study and analysis of the orientations of the family constellation regarding the cooperation with the pedagogical specialists: ideas of parents of children of preschool age about the used sources of pedagogical information; attitude of the family to the forms of cooperation with the kindergarten; present to the parents about the current problems of development in preschool age. The analysis of the results differentiates the perceptions of the respondents depending on their education, ethnic origin, professional commitment, location and provides an opportunity to optimize the interaction „kindergarten – family“ in the context of the process „pedagogical education of parents“.
Young actresses’ experiences of work in the Italian theatrical sector
Authors: Naclerio Emanuela
Published: November 2022

From the lifting of the ban on women from theatrical plays in mid-1600s England to the communicative impact of the #MeToo campaign, actresses’ presence on the stage has always had the capacity to profoundly question and shrink societal norms related to gender and cultural space. Using a qualitative methodology, the paper analyses young actresses’ experiences of work in the Italian performing arts’ sector, considering aesthetic and emotional aspects related to theatre work. The occupational environment, described through the sector’s specific datasets and surveys, appears to be characterised by marked power asymmetries in terms of age and gender which, in turn, is embedded in young actresses’ everyday bodily and emotional experiences of work.
Shatter silence, raise hell and run riot: music and gender in Spain 2018–2021
Authors: Bronsoms Angels , Guerra Paula
Published: November 2022

Gender issues have fortunately become a topic of growing interest in research into contemporary music and artistic scenes. With the aim of obtaining data on the exclusion of gender in the current conditions imposed by COVID-19, the investigation is focused on learning how women in the cultural and artistic sector have offered resistance to the cultural policies that continue to discriminate them. The methodology focal point is geared to examine the issues related to the practices that have condemned women by history and how gender inequalities are expressed in the 21st century. The study’s base is an intersectional sample of 20 female interpreters and professionals of the musical industry in the Spanish territory in different roles and genres: producers, managers, singers, composers and music critics. The answers were drawn first from radio interviews with a qualitative slant during 2018-19 and later in the post COVID scenario in spring of 2021, and organized in three analytical categories: profession, prestige and recognition of women's musical creations/productions and how their representation was portrayed by media/public. The results provided some meanings relevant to the opportunities and careers they could access. Although the arts and culture are women's worlds are pierced by cumulative disadvantages: gender stereotypes, difficulties in reconciling work and family life, objectification and sexual harassment, the conclusions extracted divulge claims in synthony with their own responses: the more i fight, the more i feel alive!; what if women had the power?; and no more twenty feet from stardom.

In present study, biochemical compositions (ash, lipid and protein) of five different macroalgae ((Green Macroalgae-GMA (Chaetomorpha linum and Caulerpa prolifera), Red Macroalgae-RMA (Pterocladiella capi-lacea), Brown Macroalgae-BMA (Sargassum vulgare and Ericaria amentacea)) and Angiosperm/Seagrass (Hal-ophila stipulacea) collected from Iskenderun Bay were investigated. The differences observed between biochemical compositions such as ash, lipid and protein of five macroalgae species and Angiosperm/Seagrass (Halophila stip-ulacea) were statistically significant (p<0.05). The lowest and highest ash, lipid and protein values of five macroalgae were 12.19±1.15% (Caulerpa prolifera)- 21.38±1.53% (Ericaria amentacea), 1.74±0.19% (Caulerpa prolifera)- 5.83±0.68% (Ericaria amentacea), 5.56±0.06% (Chaetomorpha linum)- 11.45±0.53% (Sargassum vulgare), respec-tively. Ash, lipid and protein values of Angiosperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea) were determined as 14.56±2.08%, 3.16±0.48% and 8.11±0.07%, respectively. Protein value of Angiosperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea) was higher than those of (GMA (Chaetomorpha linum and Caulerpa prolifera) but not RMA(Pterocladiella capillacea) and BMA (Sargassum vulgare and Ericaria amentacea)). Lipid value of Angio-sperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea) was similar to RMA(Pterocladiella capillacea). In conclusion, the information of the biochemical compositions of five different macroalgae and Angiosperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea) are important for the evaluation of potential sources for commercial and human consumption. In addition, biochemical compositions of tested macroalgae and seagrass could make important contributions to feed formulations and functional foods in future.
A METAMORPHIC ANALYSIS OF FEMALE FORMS IN INDIAN PAINTINGS: MODERN & CONTEMPORARY PERIOD
Authors: Barkha Saini , Pratibha
Published: November 2022

A piece of art, if analyzed comprehensively, is built with the amalgamation of its formal and conceptual facets. These formal and conceptual aspects are intertwined so intimately that one cannot exist without the other. Since time immemorial, 'Women' is one of the most acclaimed concepts in Indian art. Female body has been represented and identified through various forms and concepts with the shift in time and space. The present research paper is an analytical study of those transformations through which female forms in Indian paintings have undergone. It also focuses on how a finite concept 'Women' has been indigenously explored in creative forms by numerous artists, which encompasses a wide range of visualizations of women, from Abanindranath's fragile depictions to voluptuous nudes of Souza with enlarged genitals, from tranquility in images of Ara to blank-faced images of Hussain. The adopted methodology for this paper is descriptive and observational with an aim of exploring the different approaches in the depiction of the female body and its formal evolution with time. The paper primarily considers the female impression by Abanindranath Tagore, Amrita Shergill, F N Souza, K H Ara, M F Husain and Gogi Saroj Pal and few other artists. The research favorably concludes that there has been a great role of artistic trends, personal psychic tendencies of artists as well as concurrent socio-political situations that prompted artists to characterize women in varied forms.

Authors: Indriani Ria , Mediani Henny Suzanna
Published: November 2022

Background: Phlebitis is a common complication of peripheral intravenous cannulation. To assess phlebitis, carried out by using a phlebitis assessment scale. There're many scales of phlebitis assessment, however there’s no uniformity in their use, causes the incidence rate of phlebitis is increasing to reach. Purpose: To identify the effect of phlebitis assessment scale used in clinical settings. Design: We conducted a systematic review from 3 world online libraries (Pubmed, Science direct, Ebsco) until June 2020. The research used was in English, type of research randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort, and cross-sectional. Occur 267 articles found based on keywords. After exclusion resistance, 9 articles including the criteria inclusion and  analyzed using the phlebitis assessment scale of the  research. Conclusion: Phlebitis scale assessments found in the selected  studies have diversity, on types and applications, has an impact on difference in incidence rate and output  assessment. Two studies used definition in determining phlebitis (22.2%). 1 of a study used a scale based on a rating system (11.1%). Other studies used the severity level of 6 studies (66.7%). The scale of the phlebitis assessment contributed to the differences in the incidence of phlebitis in surveillance, causes assessment of phlebitis scale not standardized with expected output.

Ethnicity and locality influence contraceptive use and are important in family planning programs. As ethnicity is unmodifiable, the locality may be left to help promote contraceptive use. This study aimed to determine whether locality impacts contraceptive use more than ethnicity. The prevalence ratios of ethnicity (11 categories) and locality (14 regions) for the top three contraceptive methods were estimated from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey dataset in 2016. The locality had a greater impact on male condom use and injection practices than ethnicity. In contrast, both locality and ethnicity strongly influenced the use of female sterilization; however, ethnicity had a greater impact than locality. Our findings suggest that, depending on the contraceptive method, family planning activities should be adapted to locality and that careful consideration of ethnicity is required for female sterilization.
Natural repellents a topic not to be neglected in a quest for new effective mosquito repellent: A review on Azardirachta indica (neem) and Citrus sinensis (sweet orange)
Authors: Godfred Yaw Boanyah  , Prince Yaw Boakye
Published: November 2022

The current rise in insecticide resistance of mosquitoes to synthetic compounds that used to be very effective is of great concern to malaria control. Several bio-compounds from plants and essential oils have insecticidal or repellent potencies. However, lack of harmonization and complete research on insecticides from plant origin have obscured the breakthrough of discovering an alternative plant-based mosquito repellent to the synthetic DEET-based repellents. This review seeks to provoke the drive for finding an alternative and effective mosquito repellent from plants or essential oil sources with focus on Azadirachta indica and Citrus sinensis.
Bio stimulation activity of minerals obtained from an innovative seawater extraction process in the cultivation of vegetable plants
Authors: Domenico Prisa
Published: November 2022

Research objective: This research work aimed to evaluate the stimulating potential of a product (FertilTomix) obtained by an innovative process of extraction from seawater on seeded plants of Cichorium intybus and Carthamus tinctorius. Furthermore, it was assessed whether there are differences in the product's potential based on the different types of extraction (lye, soda, soda+silver) and whether there are beneficial interactions with the micro- and mesofauna of the cultivation substrate, with direct and indirect effects on plant mortality. Materials and Methods: The experiments, started in August 2022, were conducted in the greenhouses of CREA-OF in Pescia (Pt), Tuscany, Italy. On October 28, 2022, plant height, leaves number, leaves surface area, vegetative weight, roots volume and length, the number of germinated seeds, average germination time, the number of microorganisms in the substrate, plants dead number and pH were determined. In addition, the SPAD index was measured on three leaves pinched from the bottom to the apex of the canopy of each plant (for a total of 90 measurements per treatment) and tissue mineral content was evaluated on collected dry matter (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Na). Results and Discussion: The experiment showed that using FertilTomix, regardless of the mineral extraction process from the sea it contains, can significantly increase seed germination, vegetative and root growth, root length and reduce plant mortality in Cichorium intybus and Carthamus tinctorius. A fascinating aspect noted in the treated theses was also the significant increase in microbial biomass, which certainly had a decisive effect on the development of the seeded seedlings and the reduction in mortality. In this respect, a significant increase in the mineral content in the vegetative tissues of plants treated with FertilTomix was evident. The biostimulant based on Ecklonia maxima also showed significant improvements in all agronomic and microbial parameters analyzed compared to the control but less than the treatment with the sea mineral extracts. Conclusions: The results obtained are particularly interesting for people who have to cultivate in arid environments or without drinking water, as well as those who want to start reducing the use of fertilizers of industrial origin. New experiments are currently underway to evaluate the recycled water obtained from the process of extracting minerals from the sea and assess whether it can be used in agriculture.

Safety riding behavior is one of the methods that must be applied for motorists so that the atmosphere of driving on the road can be more orderly in order to achieve security and comfort, especially on the highway. This effort continues to be encouraged with the aim of reducing the number of accidents that are increasingly occurring, both with injured and dead victims. Safety riding is one way to be able to behave safely and comfortably when driving on the highway both for oneself and for other drivers. Online motorcycle taxi is a small part of motorist who passes by on the highway in carrying out their activities. The primary factor that online motorcycle taxi drivers need to take into account is how to drive so that driving safety and security for drivers, passengers, and other drivers can be well maintained. Driving on the highway, especially for two-wheeled riders, requires more concentration and focus on traffic signs so that negligence that causes accidents can be avoided since the number of two-wheeled riders certainly outweighs the number of four-wheeled riders in Malang city. Thus, the traffic densest almost every day considering that Malang is a city of education and a holiday tourist destination. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the safety riding awareness of online motorcycle taxi drivers who drive on the highway with the achievable level of safety. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach that aims to determine the safety riding knowledge of online motorcycle taxi drivers. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The analysis of the results reveals that males make up the majority of the online motorcycle taxi drivers in Malang city, with 23 out of a total of 25 respondents being male, 11 people (44%), in the age range of 27 to 35, and 13 people having the most work experience, which is 4-6 years. Of the 25 respondents, nearly 12 or 48% have a good understanding of safe riding, demonstrating that the drivers are aware of the value of driving safely on the highway for everyone's safety.

Sistem Jaminan Sosial Nasional (JSN) yang diatur pada Undang-Undang No. 40 Tahun 2004 menginstruksikan  bahwa jaminan sosial diwajibkan untuk seluruh rakyat Indonesia termasuk juga (JKN) Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional lewat Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Kesehatan. BPJS kesehatan adalah suatu badan hukum publik yang diberi wewenang oleh Undang-undang untuk melaksanakan program jaminan sosial. Artikel ini membahas mengenai sistem akad dalam pengelolaan BPJS kesehatan, bagaimana sistem pengelolaan dana pada BPJS kesehatan, serta bagaimana pengelolaan dana BPJS Kesehatan dalam pandangan hukum islam. Hasil dari analisis tersebut membuktikan  bahwa sistem akad BPJS Kesehatan sesuai dengan hukum ekonomi islam, sedangkan mekanisme pembayaran peserta BPJS kesehatan tidak sesuai dengan prinsip syariah, dan terdapat penyimpangan lain selain hukum islam. Dalam praktiknya Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) didalamnya masih memuat adanya unsur maisir dan gharar.
