HDTMA and TMPA cations intercalated bentonite clay has been assessed for the effective removal of methylene blue dye (MB) in aqueous solution. The adsorbents has been characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Various sorption parameters like effect of initial MB concentration, contact time and pH were used to investigate the sorption process. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms as well as Pseudo First order, Pseudo Second order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models were applied to investigate the sorption mechanisms. Results from the adsorption experiment confirmed 180 minutes as equilibrium time for maximum sorption of MB by both organoclays. Increase in initial MB concentration resulted to a corresponding increase in the adsorption capacities of both organoclays. Adsorption of MB by the organoclays were highly influenced by pH, as maximum sorption of MB was achieved at pH of 7. Among the isotherm and kinetic models exploited, the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo second order kinetic model gave best fit to the experimental data respectively. Results from thermodynamic studies showed that the process of adsorption of MB onto the organoclays were feasible, spontaneous and exothermic; and successful reapplication of regenerated spent organoclays (Bt-HDTMA and Bt-TMPA) yielded MB dye removal percentage of 89.6 and 85.3% respectively at 60 minutes contact time. Therefore, the results obtained from the entire study confirms the efficacy of HDTMA and TMPA intercalated bentonite clay for effective removal of cationic dyes in aqueous solution at optimal experimental conditions

Published: April 2022

Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with locally injectable steroids in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
Method: The randomised controlled trial was conducted from 10 May 2013 to 10 December 2013 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Punjab Medical College/Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan, and comprised patients of either gender aged 26-60 years having unilateral plantar fasciitis who were not on any prior treatment and had moderate to severe pain intensity. The patients were randomised into group A, which received diclofenac sodium 50mg and acetaminophen 500mg twice a day for 4 weeks, and group B, which received a single injection of 40mg (1ml) of methylprednisolone combined with 2ml of 0.5% bupivacaine into the tender most point of the inflamed plantar fascia. Pain was assessed using visual analogue scale at baseline and after 2 months of regular follow-up. Data was analysed using SPSS 10.
Results: Of the 140 patients, there were 70(50%) in each of the two groups. There were 102(72.9%) males and 38(27.1%) females, with an overall mean age of 42.24±9.30 years. While pain intensity decreased in both the groups, it was significant in group B (p=0.0001), but non-significant in group A (p=0.723).
Conclusion: Locally injectable steroid was found to be a better modality for the management of plantar fasciitis in reducing mean pain score and sustained pain relief compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Vestibular neuronitis associated with an adult male COVID-19 infection: A case report
Authors: Yaser Said Cetin
Published: April 2022

In the present era of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it has been observed that the severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection does not only affect the respiratory tract, but also triggers various neurological symptoms in one-third of patients. The most prominent of such symptoms is anosmia, which is independent of rhinologic symptoms such as nasal obstruction, discharge, and pain that cannot be otherwise explained. Vestibular neuronitis ranks third among the causes of peripheral vestibular vertigo, characterized by nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that develops within minutes or hours. Although the etiopathogenesis remains poorly known, neuronitis is generally considered to be attributable to the viral or post-viral inflammation of the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. This report presents a case of vestibular neuronitis, which is likely to be a manifestation of acute vestibular neuronitis associated with COVID-19.

Challenges in the management of pregnancy complicated by maternal Diamond Blackfan Anaemia: a case report
Authors: Tabassum Shumaila , Shah Fatima Ashfaq , O'Hare Rachael
Published: April 2022

Diamond Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) is a rare genetic disorder, affecting red blood cells. Pregnancy in women affected by DBA should be managed as a high-risk pregnancy, as it may trigger the relapse of anaemia, and is associated with both maternal and foetal complications. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment, but a low threshold for blood transfusion should be considered to correct low haemoglobin in pregnancy. An adequate multidisciplinary input and planning is the key to ensure optimal perinatal outcome. We decided to report this case to highlight the implications of pregnancy on DBA and vice versa, taking into consideration the safest approach for the best possible outcomes for the mother and her baby.

Rise of eating disorders and obesity in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ali Malik Ghulam Mustafa , Faheem Samar , Muhammad Faeez
Published: April 2022

Dear Madam,
COVID-19 has taken the world by storm, brought everything to an alarming halt and has put forward a plethora of challenges into the life of everyday people. These challenges include an outbreak of Eating Disorders (ED) during the pandemic, which inevitably leads to obesity; it was found that 41.7% of adolescents had gained more unhealthy weight; which would tether towards obesity during the period of COVID-19.1
The pandemic has brought many problems into the lives of the Pakistani population. Social isolation and stress from lockdown and uncertainties brought forth from COVID-19, and the restrictions enforced by the governmental bodies have been contributing factors in increasing the rising rate of eating pathologies amongst young adults.2 These disorders, if left untreated, will develop into a multitude of life-threatening diseases due to a sudden increase in body weight.
In a study done in Pakistan, around 40% of the participants gained weight during COVID-19 lockdown, and 67% saw decreased physical activity.3 It is difficult to maintain healthy eating in low-income countries where access to unhealthy food in bulk is easier compared to healthy foods. Physical activities are almost non-existent in places without a culture of walking or exercising outdoors.
In a study by Rodgers et al., it is stated that people’s food choices during COVID-19 are influenced by isolation, disrupted routines, a lack of physical activity, and emotional distress in their lives. The authors also state that social media plays a role, worsening young people’s relationship with food by calling for specific diets either because of diet culture or the fear of contamination. Media also covers stressful events that increase anxiety in individuals and contribute to eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder.4
These eating behaviours that affect people during a lockdown are predicted to have far-reaching effects in the future through indirect consequences of COVID-19. Unhealthy lifestyle habits could impair immunity and even decrease the effectiveness of vaccines.5 It is clear that the rise of eating disorders in young adults during the pandemic needs to be examined further. Underlying causes such as unavailability of healthy food, stress, and isolation should be addressed in further research. Advice regarding lifestyle modification should be tailored accordingly for lockdown: for example, home workouts replacing gyms, easy access to healthy food, and telemedicine that replaces in-clinic therapy for EDs.

ABSTRACT

The mental health of humans is as important as physical health, so it requires care and attention from the early stages of life. On the other hand, violence affects the integrity of people from all aspects. In the case of psychological violence, it directly affects the psyche, causing low self-esteem, fears, insecurities and emotional dependence. That is why the objective of this research is to describe emotional dependence as a predisposing trait in psychological violence conceived in Ecuadorian laws. To fulfill this purpose, the methodology of a review study, of monographic type, was used for the search of information, a bibliographic archaeum was made of more than 50 scientific articles related to the subject, and the analysis of the information was carried out under the technique of signing, underlining and analytical reading. In Ecuador, in view of the high rates of complaints about violence against women, a legal framework has been created to ensure the protection of victims and to hold the perpetrator accountable for the crime committed

Anti-Inflammatory Activity Of Polyphenols From Olive Oil Mill Wastewaters
Authors: Gueboudji Zakia
Published: April 2022

Olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) is a by-product of the olive oil industry. It is very polluting and causes serious environmental problems, but is very loaded with polyphenols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the anti-inflammatory potential of the phenolic extract of OMW from two varieties, Chemlal and Zlitni, extracted from a modern olive mill located in Khenchela, eastern Algeria. The maceration method did the extraction of the polyphenols. The dosage of total polyphenols and flavonoids content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum trichloride methods successively. Two tests made the anti-inflammatory activity, inhibition of protein denaturation (IPD) and membrane-stabilizing potential (MSP), comparing with sodium diclofenac. The results obtained showed that the phenolic extract of OMW of Chemlal was found to exhibit the highest inhibitory effect anti-inflammatory activity (IPD: IC50 = 91.27 ± 2.73 µg/mL, and MSP: IC50=98.41 ± 1.22 µg/mL) more than the phenolic extract of Zlitni and the standard used (sodium iclofenac). The in vitro assays carried out show that the phenolic extract of OMW has an important source of natural anti-inflammatory agents, which can be used in the pharmaceutical industry and on the other hand reducing its dangerous impact on the environment.

Published: April 2022

LIDAR imaging systems are one of the hottest topics in the optronics industry. However, the diversity of state-of-the-art approaches to the solution brings a large uncertainty on the decision of the dominant final solution. LIDAR has various applications in today’s industrial world as security cameras, event lighting, in autonomous vehicles, etc. which enables a picturesque images of projected area along with distance. It’s widely used in thick forest surveys which produces better results as compare to photogrammetry. It has been used for surveying a large area but not into the construction repairs and maintenance industry. This paper represents the application of LIDAR system in the distress management and repairs and rehabilitation of an off shore structure which got disrupted in tauktae in 2021 and by using the technology an attempt to check the verticality of piles of jetty is made. LIDAR data have been proven beneficial in the last few years, since it provides information like the height and properties of objects, statistics for wide areas, and it all becomes available by recording the intensity of backscattered pulse in addition to the 3D coordinates. Using the different types of LIDAR help us to discover places we could not see before, like top of mountains, sea floors and other places in our wide world, depending on airborne system or bathymetric system. In this paper, an overview of LIDAR components and basic principle to measure eccentricity in piles are provided and the methodology is explained. Also, a list of the effective parameters which cause errors while collecting data is provided, and how to minimize the error of estimated values by processing many correction steps. Finally, for extraction of eccentricity occurred in piles of jetty structure in the region of Maharashtra and Gujrat in Arabian sea, the obtained data is overlapped with original data and eccentricity is calculated.

Authors: Rocha Emanuelle Bianchi da Silva , Eberhardt Camila Moraes , Tubero Luciana de Azevedo , Penatti Letícia Araújo Tassini , Galego Andressa Regina de Mello
Published: April 2022

The Covid-19 is characterized by respiratory symptoms, however this virus frequently damages the nervous system, although the exact mechanism involved is still unclear. Headache is the most common neurological symptom and has a great heterogeneity, including thunderclap headache which should be considered a red flag on emergency departments. Case report: female, 51 years-old, with thunderclap headache started seven days ago that evolved to mental confusion, inattention and language plus memory disturbance at the day of admission.  General physical examination was normal except by the presence of borderline pyrexia (37.7°C). Neurological examination showed no particularities, except for mental and cognitive alterations. Computed angiotomography of the brain excluded bleeding but showed one aneurysm. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) had no xanthochromia, but evidenced a lymphomonocytic pleocytosis with discrete hyperproteinorraquia. Due to hospital protocol the patient underwent computed tomography of thorax and we found ground-glass opacities suggesting viral infection. Then, RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 with nasopharyngeal swab and in CSF was performed with both positives. Therefore the diagnosis was encephalitis associated with COVID-19. We opted for supportive care only. Patient evolved with many complications, need of ventilatory support and renal replacement therapy, but she was discharged after 35 days with no symptoms and at follow-up, two months later, the only finding was mild inattention. Discussion: when faced with a case with thunderclap headache, especially with other neurological findings, the first step is excluded subarachnoid hemorrhage, but health professionals should keep in mind the differential diagnoses, mainly infectious and highly contagious diseases such as COVID-19.

Background: Glocal efforts to curb the maternal/infant mortality ratio have not reached a satisfactory level with Sub-Saharan countries accounting for 86% (25400) of the global maternal death in 2017. However, technology has enhanced prompt management of preventable maternal/infant deaths via remote obstetric consultations/care along the whole continuum of pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care.  Aim: The survey aimed at assessing midwives' and nurses' perceptions on the role of tele-obstetrics in improving maternal/infant mortality in Africa and the significance of educational qualification and years of work experience on perception.  Methodology; The survey employed quantitative and non-probability convenient sampling techniques to select 138 midwives and nurses. Data collection tool was used to collect data in two phases; phase-I as web-base (22nd-28th February 2021) and phase II, self-administered (1st-5th March 2021) using questionnaire then descriptive and inferential statistics were computed at 95% Confidence Interval on Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 and presented in the form of tables, pie charts, and bar charts.  Results: The respondent rate was 86% (118/138), and at a mean score of 1.31(0.043)±0.466, 68.6% (81/118) of participants perceived tele-obstetrics vital to curb maternal/infant mortality. Among those with positive perception, 43.2%(35/81) [chi-2=6.3(33.3%)0.27] had a bachelor of science in midwifery/nursing. Within those with ≤5years experience, 74.6%(47/63) [chi2=4.9(37.5%)0.17]  supported technological application in midwifery care.  Conclusion: Midwives and nurses recognize tele-obstetrics capable of improving maternal/infant health, and this recognition is not so different amongst the different cadre of Midwives/Nurses although those with few years of work experience support tele-obstetrics than those with many years of work experience.  Recommendation: It is recommended for all United Nations member states to create a platform that encourages the implementation of tele-obstetric systems in all healthcare settings and midwifery curriculum as midwives and nurses will be willing to improve care via the use of technology.

Transaksi jual beli akan terlihat lebih resmi jika sebuah perusahaan dapat menerbitkan invoice. Invoice selain sebagai bukti pemesanan sebuah produk atau layanan invoice juga bisa bukti keseriusan dan profesonalisme dalam berwirausaha. Invoice akan berisi informasi nama penjual dan alamat penjual, nama dan alamat pembeli, jenis produk dan jumlah yang dibeli dan total harga yang harus dibayarkan oleh pembeli. Banyak usaha saat ini yang dijalankan secara online atau sering disebut sebagai e-commerce. Penjual akan memajang produk dagangannya secara online melalui halaman jual beli pada sebuah website. Selanjutnya, pelanggan akan datang berkunjung ke website tersebut, melihat produk yang dicarinya dan melakukan pemesanan secara online tanpa perlu berkunjung ke tempat penjual produk tersebut. Pada saat pelanggan melakukan pemesanan, pelanggan akan tidak nyaman jika bukti pemesanannya ditulis tangan karena terlihat tidak professional. Dilain sisi, penjual juga akan kesulitan memeriksa pemesanan dan status pesanan yang sudah masuk. Untuk mempermudah pembuatan pembuatan faktur atau invoice ini, akan lebih baik jika kita menggunakan aplikasi komputer. Aplikasi ini berguna untuk penjual dan pembeli.

Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist commonly used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic cases worldwide. Its therapeutic range is narrow and is followed by the international normalized ratio (INR). Ischemic conditions are observed at low INR levels whereas bleeding is seen at higher INR levels. A 45-year-old woman and a 79-year-old man using warfarin were admitted to the emergency department with a neurological deficit. Ischemic stroke was revealed via radiological imaging in both patients. However, INR levels were significantly higher in laboratory tests (11.44 and 12.37 kU / L).Ischemic stroke occurred although bleeding is normally expected at such high INR levels. Contrary to many studies published in the literature, this case report revealed interesting information in terms of its conclusions.
Musiikintutkimuksen kansallisuus, kansainvälisyys ja ikuinen kielikysymys

Musiikki-lehti linjaa kirjoittajaohjeissaan, että englanninkielisiä artikkeleita ”voidaan julkaista perustellusta syystä”. Olemme jättäneet tarkoituksella määrittelemättä tarkemmin ”perustellun syyn”, koska emme halua rajata syitä ennakkotapauksin – potentiaalisesti perustellut syythän elävät tilanteissa ja ajan mukana. Viime vuosien numeroita selatessa on selvää, että valtaosa Musiikissa julkaistuista teksteistä on suomenkielisiä ja täten pääosin Suomessa toimivien tai suomalaiseen musiikkiin erikoistuneiden tutkijoiden kirjoittamia. Aika ajoin nousee kuitenkin esille kysymys siitä, miksei Musiikissa voisi julkaista laajemmin englanniksi. Onhan englannista muodostunut kansainvälinen tieteen kieli, ja Suomen musiikintutkimuksesta voi tuntua luontevalta kommunikoida laajemmalle kansainväliselle yleisölle kieltä vaihtamalla.
Taustamusiikkipalvelut ja toimijuus
Authors: Uimonen Heikki
Published: April 2022

Embedded in the study of ‘music in culture’, agency can be perceived in ways in which a society musically defines itself, its taxonomy of music, and its ideas of what music can do. The article discusses that although music is a ‘resource for modulating and structuring the parameters of aesthetic agency’ such as feeling, motivation and desire (de Nora 2000), its public use is enabled, restricted and shaped by social and cultural contexts and agencies. By analysing interviews with the personnel of diverse background music companies, the article will concentrate on how agency is manifest in designing sonic environments of commercial premises and how companies can be approached as music cultures. Methodologically, this demands culture-specific understanding of background music history, skills and professional networks of the participants. Despite being part of the international music industry, background music is not to be detached from its culture, time and space where it is being heard, listened to and consumed.
Peurankaataja Pedri ja oman mahdin soitto

Pedri Shemeikka’s heritage for musical culture from the perspective of a researcher-musician 

This article examines the cultural-historical background and aesthetic-philosophical essence of Karelian 19th-century kantele improvisation through one historical figure, Pedri Shemeikka. I approach the subject from the perspective of a musician-researcher and my main research questions focus on whether and how it is possible to reconstruct and revive a music tradition of which we have only some written documents. This particular tradition was an inseparable part of the ancient runosong culture and was collected among the illiterate Ladoga and Aunus Karelian people who still lived in the slash-and-burn culture that included hunting and fishing as an important part of one’s livelihood. Pedri Shemeikka was a considerable person inside this tradition and at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, he became a symbol of the heroic Väinämöinen for the Finnish intelligentsia.

When explaining their improvised music, the kantele players themselves were talking about ”soittaa omaa mahtia” – playing their own power (with their inner strength and knowledge). The article examines the centuries-old connections between Karelians and the Sámi and the possible connection between kantele players ”own power” and prehistoric shamanism. The end of the article focuses on how the information we have of the instruments, the detailed descriptions of the special plucking technique, the scales, the tuning system, and the aesthetics of the music inside the runosong culture, give us tools to learn and understand the deeper essence of this music and make it available and alive for the people of the twenty-first century.

MANEJO COMUNITÁRIO DE RECURSOS NATURAIS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

A ascensão do modelo mercadológico baseado no acúmulo de capital, e na exploração dos recursos naturais de forma não sustentável, tem provocado mudanças significativas na vida dos povos tradicionais, indígenas, quilombolas e pequenos agricultores familiares no Brasil, e, sobretudo, na região Amazônica. Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo evidenciar o contexto do manejo florestal comunitário – MFC, a partir de diretrizes legais e das políticas públicas de fortalecimento as cadeias produtivas deste setor.  Para tanto, metodologicamente, trata-se de uma revisão de literatura baseada em artigos de periódicos que abordam a temática. Desse modo, verifica-se que um esforço conjunto entre os entes federados e a sociedade civil organizada, resultou na criação de Unidades de Conservação (UC), e na implementação de Planos de Manejo Comunitário Familiar - PMCF, com vistas a conservar os recursos florestais (madeireiros e não-madeireiros), desenvolver alternativas econômicas viáveis para as populações tradicionais, bem como, promover o desenvolvimento sustentável a partir do manejo comunitário de recursos naturais. Apesar disso, o MFC ainda enfrenta grandes desafios que vão desde a falta de regularização fundiária e linhas de créditos específicas até a vulnerabilidade na assistência técnica florestal e escala de produção. Portanto, o MFC tem perspectivas favoráveis para continuar a se desenvolver e tornar-se uma legítima fonte de produtos florestais.

A presente pesquisa tem por escopo apresentar o estudo bibliográfico ora realizado acerca dos dispositivos legais presentes no bojo da Lei nº 11.343/2006, atual Lei de Drogas brasileira, os quais compreendem ferramentas que prometem ser hábeis a reprimir o tráfico de drogas, este responsável por inicializar carreiras criminosas e disseminar medo e insegurança na sociedade em razão do modo cruel e sorrateiro com que costuma agir. Do mesmo modo, a análise aqui proposta aspira ressaltar o tratamento dispensado ao traficante e ao usuário de drogas no Brasil, tanto processual quanto midiaticamente, tratamento este responsável inclusive pela supressão de alguns princípios e garantias processuais previstas em nossa constituição, levando consequentemente a concluir que ainda existem ramificações da Teoria do Direito Penal do Inimigo em nosso ordenamento jurídico, mais precisamente na legislação antidrogas, tendo como principais expoentes o usuário e o traficante de drogas.
