The Effectiveness of Citrus Limon Extract as A Substitute for Glacial Acetic Acid Solution in The Turks Solution
Authors: Merizka Engla , Harun Hamdan Bin
Published: April 2023

In basic clinical laboratories, the availability of chemicals to create a test solution (reagent) is frequently limited or non-existent, delaying the sample inspection procedure. In medical laboratories, the inability to create a test solution with a certain chemical compound is a common constraint. The components of Turk's reagent are glacial acetic acid, gentian violet, and distilled water. The chemical glacial acetic acid, which is required to prepare Turk's reagent for leukocyte count testing, is frequently unavailable. To confirm that the counting of leukocytes may still be performed, it is required to find a readily available replacement to glacial acetic acid solution in turk solution that serves the same purpose. This study was done to investigate the viability of substituting extract Citrus limon for glacial acetic acid in the production of Turk's solution for the measurement of leukocyte counts. The study was developed as an experiment and conducted at Prof. Dr. Hamka's Medical Laboratory Technology Laboratory at Muhammadiyah University in Jakarta. In this investigation, a total of 30 blood samples containing the anticoagulant Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were utilized. The samples were separated into three treatment groups, each containing 10 samples: lemon treatments with concentrations of 2%, 3%, and 4%. Comparing the results of the study with those of controls using Turk solution revealed that lemon juice can be substituted for glacial acetic acid in Turk solution for determining the number of leukocytes, with a concentration of 2% being optimal.

Published: April 2023

There have been 85 million pregnancies worldwide are unplanned pregnancies. Of these unwanted pregnancies, 38% ended in abortions, miscarriages, and unplanned deliveries. Efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancies have been attempted in various ways by various parties. At the beginning of 2022, based on media exploration for the Play Store and YouTube applications, we found several applications and videos related to preparing for a healthy pregnancy. Search results from various online media have not specifically focused on the role of men (prospective fathers) in preparing for a healthy pregnancy. With the preparation of healthy pregnancies by men as prospective fathers, it is hoped that the pregnancy occurring can be properly prepared and planned. This study used a quasi-experimental method. The research was conducted at one Community Health Center in the East Jakarta Region. Respondents were prospective grooms (fathers) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of respondents was 96 people. The research instrument used was a pre-and post-intervention questionnaire. The treatment given to respondents was providing educational media using video and leaflet media—analysis of research data using univariate analysis, chi-square, and different tests (independent T-test). Two of the respondent's characteristic variables have a significant relationship with the respondent's level of knowledge about healthy pregnancy preparation, namely education level (P value 0.000) and history of information exposure ((P value 0.000). Two of the respondent's characteristic variables have a significant relationship with the respondent's participation in pregnancy preparation healthy, namely the level of income (P value 0.000) and history of information exposure ((P value 0.05). There is a significant difference (<0.000) in the mean level of knowledge and level of participation of respondents in preparation for healthy pregnancies before and after providing education. The group using the media Video-based education has a higher mean participation rate than the group using leaflets (significance <0.05).

Published: April 2023

A substantial percentage of international students are placed on academic probation each year. This study explored the challenges and resilience characteristics of Chinese international students placed on academic probation in their first year of college. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine probationary Chinese international students, and the data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results indicated that challenges with daily routine, reduced adult supervision, inadequate academic preparation, and limited participation in the application process were the main factors that contributed to their academic probation. Proactivity, independence, and flexible thinking were important resilience characteristics that may have helped students cope positively with stresses relating to academic probation. Targeted institutional support could be strengthened. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
The Effect of Profitability and Leverage on Tax Avoidance in Property and Real Estate Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2020
Authors: Ariningrum Hardini , Sari Murni Indah
Published: April 2023

The goal of this study is to determine how profitability and leverage affect tax evasion. Research of this kind is quantitative. Property and real estate businesses that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2018 and 2020 make up the study's population. Purposive sampling, or the selection of samples based on specified criteria, was used in this investigation. Using the purposive sampling technique, 45 samples from 15 real estate and property enterprises were gathered. Descriptive statistical analysis, the traditional assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing are the analytical techniques used, and SPSS version 25 is used to handle the data. The findings of this study show that the profitability variable and the leverage variable have no discernible effects on tax evasion.
Reporting of feasibility factors in publications on integrated treatment programs for women with substance abuse issues and their children: a systematic review and analysis
Authors: Henderson Joanna , Milligan Karen , Niccols Alison , Thabane Lehana , Sword Wendy , Smith Ainsley , Rosenkranz Susan
Published: April 2023

Background
Implementation of evidence-based practices in real-world settings is a complex process impacted by many factors, including intervention, dissemination, service provider, and organizational characteristics. Efforts to improve knowledge translation have resulted in greater attention to these factors. Researcher attention to the applicability of findings to applied settings also has increased. Much less attention, however, has been paid to intervention feasibility, an issue important to applied settings.

Methods
In a systematic review of 121documents regarding integrated treatment programs for women with substance abuse issues and their children, we examined the presence of feasibility-related information. Specifically, we analysed study descriptions for information regarding feasibility factors in six domains (intervention, practitioner, client, service delivery, organizational, and service system).

Results
On average, fewer than half of the 25 feasibility details assessed were included in the documents. Most documents included some information describing the participating clients, the services offered as part of the intervention, the location of services, and the expected length of stay or number of sessions. Only approximately half of the documents included specific information about the treatment model. Few documents indicated whether the intervention was manualized or whether the intervention was preceded by a standardized screening or assessment process. Very few provided information about the core intervention features versus the features open to local adaptation, or the staff experience or training required to deliver the intervention.

Conclusions
As has been found in reviews of intervention studies in other fields, our findings revealed that most documents provide some client and intervention information, but few documents provided sufficient information to fully evaluate feasibility. We consider possible explanations for the paucity of feasibility information and provide suggestions for better reporting to promote diffusion of evidence-based practices.

Чекліст флори України. 3: родини Apiaceae (= Umbelliferae), Araliaceae (Apiales, Angiosperms)
Authors: ФЕДОРОНЧУК МИКОЛА МИХАЙЛОВИЧ
Published: April 2023

Родина Apiaceae налічує понад 400 родів і від 3500 до 4000 видів, поширених на всіх континентах, крім Антарктики, з найбільшим різноманіттям в помірних широтах і гірських системах, переважно в Європі, Північній Америці, але найчастіше в Азії. В Украні – 74 роди та 161 вид (разом з підвидами), з яких більше половини родів (48) представлені лише одним видом. Суттєві номенклатурні зміни відбулися в багатьох родах та видах. Зокрема, Archangelica уключено до складу роду Angelica; Siella erecta – в рід Berula. Laserpitium alpinum визнано синонімом L. krapffii, а L. hispidus та L. prutenicum уключені до складу нового роду Silphiodaucus, виділеного на основі молекулярних даних. Новими для флори регіону є Bilacunaria microcarpos, Bupleurum commutatum, B. testiculatum, Bifora testiculata, Cyclospermum leptophyllum, Ferulago aucheri. Внесені суттєві зміни в номенклатурних назвах низки видів та їх авторів. Зокрема, новими пріоритетними родовими (й видовими) назвами є Mutellina purpurea (Ligusticum mutellina), Myrrhoides nodosa (Physocaulis nodosus). Пріоритетними назвами є Angelica sylvestris (A. montana), Anthriscus sylvestris (A. nemorosa), Buniun microcarpum (B. ferulaceum), Bupleurum multinerve (B. ranunculoides auct.), Cenolophium fischeri (С. denudatum), Conioselinum tataricum (C. vaginatum auct.), Palimbia rediviva (P. salsa), Scandix australis (S. taurica), Heracleum villosum (H. stevenii), H. wilhelmsii (H. mantegazzianum) та ін. Суттєві номенклатурні зміни відбулися в роді Pimpinella, у якому визнані такі мікровиди з агрегатного комплексу P. saxifragа aggr., як: P. austriaca, P. dissecta, P. hircina. Показано, що Pimpinella lithophila, P. titanophila та P. tragium s. str. формують складний таксономічний агрегат, для якого характерний широкий діапазон мінливості розсічення пластинки прикореневих листків. Тому найбільш обґрунтованою є концепція єдиного для Східної Європи поліморфного виду P. tragium Vill. s. l. у межах якого всі наведені таксони доцільно визнати за підвиди, морфологічно пов’язані переходами. З роду Peucedanum як сегрегатні роди виділені Cervaria, Dichoropetalum, Macroselinum, Oreoselinum, але вказуються також їх альтернативні назви, які нині є вживаними у складі роду Peucedanum s. l. Рід Hydrocotyle L. уключено до складу родини Araliaceae, що підтверджується молекулярними даними (нуклеотидними послідовностями). Родина Araliaceae налічує від 40 до 70 родів і від 850 до 1650 видів, поширених в основному в тропічних, частково в помірних широтах; у флорі України – два роди і три види.
Концепція класу в сучасній фітосоціології
Authors: КУЗЕМКО АННА АРКАДІЇВНА , ХОДОСОВЦЕВ ОЛЕКСАНДР ЄВГЕНОВИЧ
Published: April 2023

Розглянуто уявлення про синтаксономічний клас на сучасному рівні розвитку науки про рослинність. Проаналізовано класичне визначення класу, запропоноване Ж. Браун-Бланке. Детально розглянуто критерії класу, які впродовж розвитку фітосоціології згадувалися і застосовувалися різними авторами: флористичний, екологічний, фізіогномічний, хорологічний, еволюційний і практичний. При розгляді флористичного критерію особливу увагу було приділено аналізу концепції абсолютних діагностичних видів. На прикладах з нещодавно опублікованих синтаксономічних зведень по рослинності Європи і України проілюстровано існуючі проблеми у розмежуванні та ідентифікації різних класів рослинності України, а також проблему інфляції класів. Розвинуто сучасні уявлення щодо просторового розташування фітоценозів та їх масштабної розмірності. Представлений огляд продемонстрував, що основним підходом до виділення класу рослинності повинен залишатися флористико-соціологічний. Інші критерії можуть виступати додатковими аргументами при виділенні меж у рослинному континуумі, перевірці робочих гіпотез та прийнятті синтаксономічних рішень, особливо у тих випадках, коли об’єкт досліджень розташований у складному багатовимірному просторі. Екологічний, фізіогномічний, хорологічний, еволюційний і практичний критерії не повинні при цьому відігравати ключову роль та логічно корелювати з флористичним критерієм. На основі комплексного аналізу доведено помилковість наведення для України класів Poetea bulbosae i Saginetea maritimae. Також розглянуто різні підходи до розділення класів на групи за їхньою якістю. Зроблено припущення, що впродовж наступного десятиліття підвищення репрезентативності фітосоціологічних даних для України і Європи дозволить провести об’єктивну оцінку якості класів рослинності із використанням статистичних методів досліджень.

Authors: ФЕЛЬБАБА-КЛУШИНА ЛЮБОВ МИХАЙЛІВНА , САДИҐОВ РОСТИСЛАВ ЕЛЬДАРОВИЧ
Published: April 2023

Dicranum viride до цього часу не був предметом окремих досліджень в Україні, а відомості про його фітоценотичну приуроченість були відсутні. Він включений до низки міжнародних природоохоронних документів, а в Україні М.Ф. Бойко відніс його до рідкісних для окремих регіонів. В Українських Карпатах цей вид трапляється більш-менш рівномірно в усіх флористичних районах, окрім Закарпатської низовини та Закарпатського передгір’я. Нами вперше виявлено зростання D. viride у передгір’ї Вулканічного хребта в діапазоні висот 197–212 м н.р.м. В цілому зафіксовано 27 нових знахідок цього виду на Вулканічному хребті в межах висот 195–800 м н.р.м., тоді як до цього часу в літературі було повідомлено лише про дві знахідки. З них 15 знахідок (55,6 %) зафіксовано на камінні, 9 на стовбурах дерев (33,3 %), 3 на колодах (11,1 %). В умовах Вулканічних Карпат на найнижчих відносних висотах свого поширення вид надає перевагу кам’яним субстратам, тоді як згідно з літературними даними в межах Європи він трапляється переважно на стовбурах живих дерев в діапазоні висот 300–1200 м н.р.м. На основі 12 геоботанічних описів описана нова асоціація Dicranetum viridis в межах класу Frullanio dilatatae-Leucodontetea sciuroidis порядку Dicranetalia scoparii, cоюзу Dicrano scoparii-Hypnion filiformis. Dicranum viride трапляється з проєктивним покриттям від 1 до 5 балів (за шкалою Браун- Бланке). Постійним видом в угрупованнях є Hypnum cupressiforme. Найчастіше в угрупованнях на кам’яних субстратах ростуть Homalothecium sericeum, Paraleucobryum longifolium, Schistidium apocarpum, Isothecium alopecuroides. Постійними на корі дерев є Leucodon sciuroides, Orthotrichum patens, Anomodon viticulosus, Pseudanomodon attenuatus. Дана порівняльна характеристика видового складу угруповань з Українських та Польських Карпат. У складі бріоугруповань зафіксовано низку бріофітів, які трапляються переважно у малопорушених або старовікових лісах. До таких належать Leucodon sciuroides, Porella platyphylla, Anomodon viticulosus, Pseudanomodon attenuatus, Orthotrichum patens, Radula complanata, Metzgeria furcata, Frullania dilatata, Isothecium alopecuroides, Ulota crispa. Для збереження генофонду D. viride в Українських Карпатах пропонується створення лісового заказника в околицях м. Ужгород в урочищі Червеницький ліс, де було зафіксовано найбільше його знахідок.

Authors: D'Silva Emily Christine , Fann Rui Jeat , Lim Kar Koong , Sathar Jameela
Published: April 2023

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a rare condition presenting in pregnancy and still poses a challenge in its management which involves maintaining a balance between maternal and fetal well-being. This study aims to create a local registry for hematological malignancy in pregnancy and to review outcomes of both maternal and fetal outcomes. Twelve pregnancies were identified from 11 patients. 3 pregnancies were terminated upon diagnosis and 1 miscarried. One maternal death prior to decision. Out of the 6 pregnancies continued, 5 received chemotherapy during pregnancy with all successfully achieving complete remission and were delivered at 33-37 weeks gestation. All babies delivered with good Apgar score with 1 reported neonatal death. One fetal anomaly reported in a patient exposed to Decitabine in early pregnancy. Chemotherapy can be safely administered during second or third trimester with delivery planned as close to term as possible. Decitabine should be avoided during pregnancy due to its potential teratogenicity.
Research on the effect of number of yard trucks on container terminal throughput
Authors: Riadi Achmad , Putra Gerry Liston , Budiyanto Muhammad Arif
Published: April 2023

Container terminal productivity is a benchmark for the level of effectiveness of a container port. One indicator of container terminal productivity level can be calculated through yard throughput. Several factors affect yard throughput, one of which is the number of truck terminals. This study aims to investigate the effect of the number of truck terminals on yard throughput at a container terminal. The investigation was conducted using a container terminal simulation which was based on the discrete event simulation method. As a case study, a simulation of a container terminal with a dock length of 300 m with several quay cranes was two units. The simulation was done by parameters adding the number of truck terminals and variations in the capacity of ships coming. The results of the simulation show that an increase in the number of truck terminals affects the number of outputs, depending on the size of the loading and unloading vessels. From the simulation results obtained, the largest yard throughput capacity of 809 containers with the number of truck terminals is 8 units on a shipload of 1,000 twenty-foot equivalent units. The results of this study provide an overview of the needs of the truck terminal in the container terminal.
Highlights

The yard throughput of the container terminal has been investigated by a simulation model built based on a discrete event simulation
The discrete event simulation has obtained the effect of increasing the number of truck terminals on the yard throughputs with container capacity variations from 200 - 1,000 TEUs
The increase in speed at the truck terminal is insignificant to increase yard throughput and necessary to do integrated scheduling between the truck terminals, quay cranes, and gantry cranes
The increase in the quay crane operation in container terminals will decrease the dwell time of container throughput

Authors: Zamora Loor Gema Stefanía , Arteaga Loor Genny del Carmen , Morejón López Raisa Gabriela , Moreira Vera María Geomara
Published: April 2023

Introducción: especialmente en la formación de adultos, donde a menudo se le otorga menos relevancia. El reto radica en capacitar a los docentes universitarios en las competencias necesarias para implementar la gamificación en sus clases, ya que la alta carga laboral, la falta de información y motivación, así como la escasa difusión de estos temas, hacen que estas nuevas tendencias educativas se excluyan de la planificación, ejecución y evaluación de los cursos. Objetivos: Este proyecto tiene como objetivo diseñar una propuesta de gamificación para que los docentes universitarios de Optometría adquieran competencias digitales. Para ello, se identificarán las herramientas digitales que usan los profesores, se determinarán las competencias necesarias para implementar la gamificación y se producirá contenido educativo para que los docentes adquieran habilidades y estrategias. El proyecto busca mejorar la calidad de la educación en Optometría a través del uso de tecnologías educativas. Metodología: Este proyecto de innovación educativa se basa en principios metodológicos que implican seleccionar, organizar, utilizar y aplicar elementos del plan de estudios para abordar una necesidad. El enfoque es cualitativo, ya que busca poner en evidencia las competencias subjetivas, y descriptivo, pues busca describir, comprender e interpretar los fenómenos a través de las percepciones y significados producidos por las experiencias de los participantes. Resultados: Se encontró que un bajo porcentaje (12%) de los docentes de Optometría utilizan actividades de gamificación en sus clases. Las principales razones incluyen la falta de tiempo, el desconocimiento de nuevas estrategias educativas y herramientas digitales. Para abordar esta problemática, se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de herramientas y recursos útiles para aplicar la gamificación en clases universitarias. Se descubrió que gran parte de las actividades gamificadas están dirigidas a estudiantes de primaria y secundaria, lo que implicó adaptarlas al nivel universitario. Después de la capacitación en gamificación, los docentes adquirieron competencias básicas que les permitirán implementar estas técnicas en su práctica docente, las cuales fueron valoradas mediante una prueba. Conclusiones: La implementación de la gamificación en la educación universitaria puede tener un impacto positivo en la motivación de los estudiantes, al fomentar su autoevaluación y desafío personal, estimulando su pensamiento crítico y competitivo. En áreas de estudio como la Optometría, en las que la tecnología avanza rápidamente debido a la globalización, la inclusión de actividades gamificadas y la aplicación de la autoevaluación y la tecnología en el proceso educativo pueden ayudar a formar profesionales eficientes y adaptados a las exigencias del futuro. Área de estudio general: medicina. Área de estudio específica: optometría.

Authors: Rahman Nurul Aliya Abd , Hanafi Muhammad Hafiz , Ibrahim Hanim Afzan , Omar Julia , Chaudhry Ahmed , Sirajudeen KNS , Kassim Nur Karyatee
Published: April 2023

Background:Several decades of research have established the relationships between systemic diseases and periodontal diseases. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic medical condition in which the homeostatic and emunctory activity of the kidneys is progressively declines. Periodontitis is a complex, polymicrobial disease that involves both the host and the environment. Tissue destruction is primarily associated with the host’s hyperresponsiveness, resulting in the release of inflammatory markers.
Aim: This paper reviewed the evidence linking CKD, inflammatory markers, and periodontal disease and the effect of periodontal therapy on inflammatory markers and kidney function as well as dental parameters.
Setting and Design: The sources of data were compiledand reviewed from MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Sciences from 2010 to 2021.
Result and Discussion: This review identifies biologically plausible bidirectional nexus between periodontitis and CKD. Periodontitis has emerged as non-traditional risk factor of CKD and vice versa. In addition, inflammatory markers are considered to play a role in the linkages between periodontitis and CKD. Recent study, has linked an increase in the production of inflammatory markers to a poorer renal outcome in patients with CKD. Periodontal therapy is effective in lowering the inflammatory markers levels and periodontal parameters as well as halting the progression of CKD.
Conclusion : Understanding these links may help in identifying high-risk individuals and providing essential care at an early stage.

Published: April 2023

Background: Selective obturator nerve block (ONB) is a current trend in transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), which is easy to administer, safe and prevents some major complications during operation.
Objective: To compare the haemodynamic status of two groups of patients underwent two different techniques of obturator nerve block during TURBT operation – ultrasound guided ONB vs. cystoscopy guided ONB.
Methods:This prospective, observational study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia, Analgesia, Palliative and Intensive Care Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, from September 2018 to August 2019. A total of 60 selected patients were randomly allocated into two groups: ultrasound guided ONB (group A) and cystoscopy guided ONB (group B) i.e., 30 in each group. Then heart rate and blood pressure were assessed at different point during and after surgery.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 54.7±8.53 years. In total, 34(57%) cases were male and 26(43%) were female. Male to female ratio was 1.3:1. In group A, 19(63.3%) patients had ASA II status and 11(36.7%) had ASA III status, while in group B, the numbers were 18(60%) and 12(40%) respectively. There was no significant difference in demographics and ASA status between two groups (P>0.05). Average onset of obturator nerve block was faster in group A (8.17±1.4 min) than group B (11.3±2.68 min), (P<0.001). Mean heart rate at baseline, at the end of the operation and postoperative room were found 77.56±2.69 and 76.35±3.09, 77.16±1.59 and 75.67±2.21, 76.34±6.24 and 75.67±6.42 in group A and B respectively, while simultaneous recorded mean systolic blood pressure were 115.23±5.56 and 116.45±5.82, 118.73±1.63 and 118.54±1.72, 116.73±3.32 and 116.37±4.13 respectively and mean diastolic pressure were 78.82±1.67 and 79.87±2.98, 77.68±2.34 and 77.18±4.15, 73.63±1.15 and 73.53±2.28 respectively. However, the differences in haemodynamic status between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).
Conclusion: Our data suggest no difference between two techniques in terms of changes in haemodynamic status of the patients who underwent TURBT operation.

Published: April 2023

Objective: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a problem for the health care systems of many countries around the world. Seasonal nature of influenza and other the respiratory viral diseases is commonly known. The nature of the relationship between the frequency of registration of cases of COVID-19 and natural factors is still being studied by researchers. The purpose is to determine the influence of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure on the incidence of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 in the conditions of Ukraine.
Materials and methods. Official reports of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and data from daily monitoring of meteorological indicators conducted by the Sumy Regional Hydrometeorology Center were used in the paper. Descriptive and analytical ways of epidemiological method of investigation were applied. The search for parameters of interrelation between the frequency of registration of COVID-19 cases and meteorological cases took place using of program “Statistica”, namely the relevant tools of this program: “Analysis”/ “Multiple regression”.
Results and Discussion: In the period under study from March 25, 2020 to December 31, 2021 in Sumy Oblast of Ukraine, three waves of rise in the incidence were registered. In the third wave of rise in the incidence, in autumn 2021 the frequency of registration of COVID-19 cases reached 1684.9 per 100 thousand of people, despite the fact that almost 70 % of the population had already recovered or were vaccinated. Meteorological factors in the conditions of Ukraine have little influence on the rate of spread of COVID-19. The value of multiple correlation coefficients was within those limits, which are considered moderate in terms of influence. A moderate inverse correlation was established between the frequency of registration of COVID-19 cases and indicators of air temperature, and a direct correlations - with indicators of relative air humidity.
Conclusions: In the conditions of Ukraine, the studied meteorological factors (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, atmospheric pressure) indirectly influenced the intensity of the epidemic process of COVID-19. the strength of this influence was either weak or moderate.

Authors: Raid Mohammed Fatin , Begum Tahamina , Reza Mohammed Faruque
Published: April 2023

Background: Although some studies of the C1 ERP component have revealed perceptual variation in pregnant women, source localization has not yet been determined in this group. We aimed to investigate the source localization of the C1 component in pregnant women using the sLORETA tools in Net Station software.
Method: A total of 36 participants were recruited and divided between the control (n=18) and pregnant group (n=18). ERP data were collected using 128 ERP nets during a visual oddball paradigm (standard: O and target: X). Grand average waveforms were entered into the Geosource system using sLORETA tools in Net Station software. MRI images were displayed automatically in sLORETA to show the source of the C1 ERP component for both groups.
Results: The control group showed that standard stimuli activated Brodmann area 18 in the inferior occipital gyrus in the occipital lobe and target stimuli activated area 11 in the rectal gyrus in the frontal lobe. The pregnant group showed that standard stimuli activated Brodmann area 11, which consists of the medial frontal gyrus in the frontal lobe, and target stimuli activated area 10, which is in the medial frontal gyrus in the frontal lobe.
Conclusion: The source of the C1 ERP component was in the frontal lobe for pregnant women during both standard and target stimuli as they used their encoding and executive function areas for attentional purposes.

Moringa oleifera (MO) has anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, and immunosuppressant effects in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study aims to determine the effect of moringa oleifera extract on interleukin 6 levels and disease activity in RA. This research, with 30 patients, was divided into two groups: the intervention and the placebo. The intervention group received 40.50 mg/kg BW/day of Moringa oleifera extract for one month. IL-6 levels and SDAI scores were measured before and after the treatment. Paired t-test showed that IL-6 levels (p=0.070) and SDAI Scores (p=0.142) before and after MO administration for the control group were not significantly different (p> 0.05). Paired t-test IL-6 (p=0.001) and SDAI Scores (p=0.001) before and after giving MO to the treatment group decreased significantly (p <0.05). Independent t-test shows that the two changes, Delta-IL6 (p=0,008) and Delta-SDAI (p=0,017), are significantly different (p<0.05). Moringa Oleifera Extract decreases IL-6 Levels and SDAI Scores in RA Patients.

Published: April 2023

Amyand’s hernia refers to an inguinal hernia which contained the vermiform appendix in the hernia sac. It is more commonly found on the right side in relation to anatomical location of the vermiform appendix and left – sided Amyand’s hernia is very rare. Herein, we report a case of left – sided Amyand’s hernia with bowel obstruction in a 1 year 4 months old boy. The left groin mass was firm and tender, with skin erythema. However, the mass could not be completed incarcerated into the abdominal cavity. His abdomen was distended with sluggish bowel sound. A diagnosis of intestinal obstruction secondary to obstructed left inguino – scrotal hernia was made, and laparotomy was performed. During laparotomy, transverse skin incision was made on the upper abdomen, and the left inguinal canal was opened in accordance with the usual inguinal hernia repair. The hernia sac contained the appendix, caecum and twisted terminal ileal loops. Small bowel resection with primary anastomosis was performed with left herniorrhaphy. Appendix was preserved due to its normal appearance. He remained well during follow up with no hernia recurrence and testicular atrophy

Oviposition behaviour of Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae) on horse gram seed varieties
Authors: Bhattacharyya Bhramar , Barik Anandamay
Published: April 2023

Oviposition behaviour of Callosobruchus chinensis was tested on six varieties of horse gram seeds (ANK Black, AK 42, AK 21, BK 1, Urmi and Paiyur 1) to identify the resistance variety. In no choice test, females of C. chinensis laid lesser eggs within 24 h of mating on whole seeds of Urmi variety (11.6 ± 0.41) than the other varieties tested. However, females did not lay eggs when seed coat was removed from the above six varieties of horse gram. In choice test, females laid the lowest number of eggs within 24 h of mating on Urmi (1.11 ± 0.23) than the other varieties. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) study revealed that there were morphological differences on the seed coat texture of the six horse gram varieties. The seed coat texture of Urmi variety is heterobrochate with some nearly bi-reticulate patches and few unevenly depressed muri, which partially inhibited oviposition on Urmi seeds. Urmi is the less preferred variety for oviposition.

Integrating a technology into a business and making it sustainable can be achieved with a good analysis and a systematic workplace organization. In today's world, where everything has become more connected (Internet of Things, industrial internet, etc.), it is more difficult to analyze risks compared to the traditional point of view. Analyzing the risks and ranking them in order of importance is closely related to the proven dangers and risks of these technologies. In the study, advanced technological applications and the risks they bring were determined using expert opinions. Accordingly, technological work accidents, occupational diseases, cyber-attacks, and accidents based on human error were determined as the main criteria. The sub-criteria were determined as automation and robot accidents, occupational diseases of chemical and biological origin, sabotage and attacks on personal data, and misinterpretation of data/shortage of qualified employees. Microsoft Excel was used in the analysis of the application and the results of each analysis were found to be consistent. According to the analysis results, the most important risk in the order of importance of advanced technological applications and the risks they bring was Occupational Diseases (Criterion 2) with 0.4755, and the most weighted sub-criteria in the paired comparisons was Sabotage and Attack Against Personal Data (Sub-Criteria 3) while 0.3518.

A esporotricose é uma micose de caráter zoonótico causada por fungos do gênero Sporothrix. O patógeno está presente no solo, na água, em matéria orgânica e em decomposição, sendo encontrado, portanto, em diferentes ambientes. No entanto, apesar de ser possível a transmissão sapronótica, no Brasil esta acontece principalmente por inoculação traumática do fungo, a partir de mordeduras e arranhaduras causadas por felinos infectados. A partir daí, a doença pode suscitar manifestação clínica diversa, principalmente representada por sinais cutâneos e respiratórios, podendo comprometer de forma significativa a saúde do animal. Apesar da doença acometer mais frequentemente os gatos, os cães também são hospedeiros suscetíveis, mas o seu diagnóstico muitas vezes é um desafio. Sendo assim o objetivo deste artigo é relatar um caso clínico de esporotricose intranasal em uma cadela de um ano de idade da raça spitz alemão, cujo único sinal apresentado foi a dispneia inspiratória, diferentemente da manifestação cutânea mais comum. O diagnóstico foi definido a partir da avaliação histopatológica de fragmento retirado via rinoscopia. O tratamento da cadela foi realizado com o antifúngico itraconazol e houve remissão completa da doença. Esse estudo reforça a necessidade de estabelecer o diagnóstico e terapêutica correta para o paciente, além de evidenciar que a esporotricose deve ser considerada como um diagnóstico diferencial em cães com alterações respiratórias ou cutâneas.

Perkembangan teknologi saat ini membuat masyarakat harus mampu beradaptasi terhadap perubahan, termasuk dalam bidang pelayanan publik. Transformasi digital yang dilakukan pada pelayanan publik seringkali disebut dengan e-government, dimana sistem pelayanan diharapkan menjadi lebih efisien, efektif, transparan dan terukur. Dalam upaya pelaksanaan e-government, penelitian ini dilakukan di kantor Desa Ciseeng, Kabupaten Bogor, dimana sistem pelayanan masih dilakukan secara manual, yaitu masyarakat mendatangi langsung dengan membawa dokumen begitupun petugas yang mengurus dokumen secara komputerisasi. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, pada penelitian sebelumnya telah dilakukan pembuatan sistem aplikasi layanan berbasis mobile dan website dimana fitur yang disediakan terdapat beberapa layanan yang dapat diakses oleh petugas maupun masyarakat. Namun fitur yang tersedia masih belum memenuhi kebutuhan layanan yang dibutuhkan, oleh karena itu dalam penelitian ini akan dilakukan pengembangan pada fitur layanan. Perancangan sistem aplikasi dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode Waterfall yang terdiri dari lima tahapan, yaitu: analisa kebutuhan, desain sistem dan software, implementasi, uji coba aplikasi, serta operasi dan pemeliharaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tercapainya penambahan layanan berdasarkan analisa kebutuhan dalam bentuk fitur layanan, di antaranya: pembuatan surat kelahiran baru, surat pas, surat pindah, dan surat keterangan kelahiran. Berdasarkan pengujian Usability Testing pada aplikasi layanan e kelurahan dengan menggunakan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) terhadap 17 responden, diperoleh hasil yaitu 76,91 yang berarti sudah memenuhi unsur usability dan mendapatkan nilai B atau “Bagus” untuk digunakan. Selain itu, dalam sudut pandang Agama Islam memperbolehkan untuk membuat sesuatu yang dapat bermanfaat bagi banyak orang seperti sistem aplikasi e-kelurahan ini, selama tidak melanggar syariat Islam, tidak membahayakan dan juga menghadirkan maslahah.
