Testicular torsion: An assessment of knowledge and referral pattern among health care workers in primary health-care facilities in Auchi, Nigeria
Authors: Ogbetere Friday Emeakpor , Akerele William Omoh
Published: June 2021

Objectives:

Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord with attendant loss of the blood supply to the affected testis. It is a common urological emergency and one of the frequent causes of acute scrotum in adolescents and young adults. Prompt diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention are necessary for testicular salvage. Testicular loss is directly linked to delay in presentation, surgery, and the referral patterns at the point of the first contact with health-care providers. The purpose of our study is to assess the knowledge, management methods, and referral pattern among health care workers in the primary health-care facilities in Auchi primary health-care zone, Nigeria.

Material and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional carried out among primary health care workers in Auchi primary health-care zone between May and October 2020. A structured self-administered questionnaire was given to all the first contact health care workers in this zone. The knowledge, management, and referral pattern of testicular torsion were determined based on responses to the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results were displayed with frequency distribution tables and charts.

Results:

Eighty-seven health care workers met the inclusion criteria and were given questionnaires to fill. The mean age of the respondents was 37.74 ± 7.53 years. The majority of the health workers (n = 66, 75.9%) have more than 5 years’ experience with only 12 (13.8%) having a secondary level of education. Most respondents have heard of testicular torsion (n = 77, 88.5%) and know the symptoms (n = 68, 78.2%) but they have a poor knowledge of the age group predominantly affected (n = 36, 41.1%) and testicular survival time following torsion (n= 41, 47.7%). Only about a third (n = 28, 32.2%) had attended to patients with testicular torsion. Of the 28 health workers who had managed patients with testicular torsion, less than half (n = 11, 39.3%) referred almost immediately, while about half treated conservatively (n = 14, 49.9%) keeping the patients under their care for a period of 3–7 days.

Conclusion:

This study showed that a comprehensive education of all categories of health workers in the primary health-care centers is needed. This is necessary for the early identification and appropriate surgical intervention or prompt referral of patients with testicular torsion to prevent avoidable testicular losses.

Authors: Suresh K  , Hindustan Abdul Ahad  , Satyanarayana SV
Published: June 2021

The objective of this research was to see whether the ethanolic extract of Artabotrys hexapetalus leaves had antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties against paracetamol (PCT), ethanol (ETN), and isoniazid and rifampicin (IR)-induced hepatotoxicity in Albino Wister rats. The materials were dried in the shade, pulverised, and extracted using ethanol. Phytochemical experiments were carried out as a first step. The ethanol extract's hepatoprotective activity was evaluated in Albino Wister rats. PCT (3 g/kg), ETN (5 g/kg), and IR (100 mg/kg) reduced the levels of SGOT, SGPT, ALP, and bilirubin, which are all biochemical indicators of liver injury. Both hepatotoxin-treated and untreated group of animals determined for their antioxidant levels. Aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), alanine transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, an antioxidant function of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl 2-picryl hydroxyl), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lipid peroxidation methods, hydroxyl radicals, and nitric oxide were among the biochemical and histopathological tests performed. The altered levels of biochemical markers were restored to near-normal levels in a dose-dependent fashion after treatment with A. hexapetalus ethanolic leaf extract (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg body weight). The findings of the current research indicated that the ethanol leaf extract of A. hexapetalus had potent antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties.

Authors:   University of Zilina, Fedáš Július , Škvareková Iveta
Published: June 2021

The paper is focused on the comparison of workloads of pilots during the precision ILS (Instrument Landing System) approach and non- precision NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) approach. For the needs of our work, we used technology to measure heart rate variability, which was used to collect the authoritative data needed to analyze the workload and stress levels of the tested participants. Our study involved four pilots, who were divided into two groups, a group of beginner pilots and advanced pilots. Practical measurements were performed on the flight simulator L410 UVP-E20, which is located in the premises of the Flight training and education center of the University of Žilina. The aim of our work was to find out and compare to what extent the workload during NDB and ILS approach of pilots with different levels of practical and theoretical experience will be different and also to compare these two approach systems with each other. We chose the final phase of the flight, due to its complexity and overall demands on piloting, which in this case has been the precision approach and non- precision approach. Practical measurement and analysis of the obtained data showed that the tested pilots indicated significant differences in the level of workload, resulting from their experience.. We also noticed a slight difference after comparing the two approaches. The conclusion of our work contains a summary of the measured results, as well as the perspective of the contribution of measuring the workload to the future and its use in a wider range

Analysis of implementation instrument approaches for hems heliports
Authors:   University of Zilina, Posluch Samuel , Pecho Pavol
Published: June 2021

In recent years, the trend of using a helicopters in the operation of the helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) has been increasing. The reason is the wide range of uses of the helicopter, fast and safe transport of wounded people using new copters. Nevertheless, it is not possible to operate flights in poor weather conditions with a sufficient number of interventions. There is a need to develop new procedures for flying even under conditions other than VFR flight rules. The current state of helicopter technology in Slovakia allows it and therefore it is appropriate that new procedures using GNSS be created to establish a safe flight. The aim of the analysis is to evaluate the input factors available to the operator and to create a design approach based on the legislative requirements for the use of GNSS systems on the selected heliport. The resulting approach design can be used as one of the options for creating procedures. Such proposals could also be implemented on other operational bases, for the creation of a network of instrument approach or departure systems, which would create space for increasing the safety of helicopter emergency medical service in Slovakia.
Vegetarian Food Social Media Message: An Empirical Study Of The Effects Of Message Design On Consumer Brand Attitude
Authors:   , Huang Wan-Ting
Published: June 2021

Despite a growing interest in social media communication as a marketing tool, research on its persuasive effects is limited. This is especially true for comparisons between brand-generated and user-generated content, despite the relevance of message control for marketing strategy.

This present study examines two different message sources (brand vs user) and two message types (rational vs emotional) investigating their effects on consumer brand attitude through the creation of brand authenticity, content authenticity and source credibility while considering consumer food involvement. Participants (N = 342) viewed one of four fictional Facebook messages, which used either a rational or emotional message type and was from either a brand or a consumer.

Using regression analysis, and splitting the sample to high (N= 172) and low involvement (N=170), we found for participants with a high degree of involvement, emotional brand-generated content created more positive brand attitudes than rational brand-generated content through perceived brand authenticity and source credibility. However, a rational message generated by a brand led to higher levels of effect on brand attitude with higher perceived content authenticity. For user-generated content, for highly involved consumers, rational messages are more persuasive than emotional messages, creating more positive brand attitudes through brand authenticity and source credibility. Content authenticity had no impact on brand attitude in any user-generated message under high consumer involvement.

Under low degrees of consumer involvement, emotional brand-generated messages did not significantly impact brand attitude. However, the effect was found in emotional user-generated messages through content authenticity. With regards to rational brand-generated messages, high perceptions of source credibility generated positive brand attitudes. A similar result has been found in user-generated rational messages. The final analysis showed that regardless of message type and message source, low or high consumer involvement, the positive effect of brand attitude on purchase intention is significant.

The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

The article analyzes the factors and causes of the state of demotivation to work among employees of organizations. The author emphasizes the importance of employee motivation for the success of modern organizations and the undesirable consequences of its absence, which acquire the features of an organizational disease. Demotivation is considered by the authors as a decrease in motivation due to the influence of various circumstances. The factors that demotivate employees are analyzed and the probable causes of their occurrence are listed. The article highlights the personal and organizational groups of demotivation factors. Personal factors include chronic dissatisfaction with the dominant needs of employees; incentives used in organizations that become in reality limiting factors; changes occurring in the personal motivational complexes of employees; personal perception by employees of the actions of the organization’s managers as unfair. Organizational factors include unclear division of functions and implemented work processes between employees, unclear organization structure, low manageability of the organization, unclear goals, unreliability of decisions, widely used demotivating management style with a predominance of punishments over rewards, disrespect and neglect of employees. The article considers the employee’s motivational complex, consisting of internal motivation, external positive and external negative motivation, and determines the optimal motivational complex. Attention is paid to the demotivation process, the orientation of employee motivation. The differences in the general motivation of the employee for any actions and the labor motivation of the employee are determined. The necessity of analyzing the motives of people’s behavior in the working environment is emphasized. The article notes the need to distinguish between the real and declared motives of employees, to identify the deep needs, interests and values of people to prevent the state of demotivation.

The article considers approaches to determining the importance of human capital for the socio-economic development of the territories of the Russian Federation, as well as determining its place in the structure of the territorial socio-economic potential. The article shows that human capital is the basis for the formation of the regional economic system and serves as the basis for the implementation of the regional socio-economic potential. The authors define human capital as a key socio-economic and productive factor in the development of not only the modern economy, but also modern society. Regional human capital is defined as a set of human resources with their knowledge, abilities, skills, etc., formed both within the framework of individual human capital and within the framework of corporate human capital, localized on the territory of the region and able to provide reproduction processes within the regional socio-economic system. The article shows that the regional human capital in the structure of the socio-economic potential of the region has both quantitative (population size, including population migration; the gender and age composition of the population of the region, etc.), and the quality characteristics (the level of education and qualifications of the population of the region, the effectiveness of the use of human capital, etc.), reflect the importance of human capital in the state’s program documents. The article proposes the author’s vision of human capital as a resource for the socio-economic development of the region and proves that from the point of view of the realization of the socioeconomic potential of the region, the human resources of a particular region should be considered by regional authorities and management not only as a key resource that ensures the socio-economic development of the region, but also as a resource that imposes certain requirements necessary for the direct realization of human capital (potential).

Global phenomena such as climate change threaten the resilience of agroecosystems and therefore food security. Thus, the objective of this paper was to analyze the cumulative nature and outstanding advances in the knowledge of the resilience of agroecosystems as a basis for the development of new trends in the subject. A literature review was conducted using the Web of Science database, considering criteria such as date of publication, disciplines and scientific journals. The search covers the period from 1993 to 2020. One hundred eighty-eight publications were identified, with 2018 and 2019 being the years with the highest number of articles published. The research areas with the most publications on resilience are ecology (71), agriculture (52) and environmental sciences (44). Regarding the connectivity based on the value of intermediate centrality, the areas of greatest interrelationship are mainly: agriculture (0.45), science and technology (0.28), environmental sciences (0.2) and ecology (0.12). In the dynamics and study of resilience, the adaptability of the agroecosystem stands out. The conceptual model of resilience analyzed facilitates its study and is composed of: precariousness, latitude, resistance and panarchy. Therefore, the indicators for quantifying resilience in agroecosystems are heterogeneous and multidimensional. It is concluded that resilience has been conceptually studied as an emerging property from the agroecological approach, recently from the socioecological systems approach, where adaptability and interdiscipline are highlighted as a means to solve complex problems.

Published: June 2021

El tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.), es una hortaliza perteneciente a la familia de las solanáceas. Este cultivo es importante en varios países, principalmente por su alto valor económico reflejado en su gran demanda, con mercados para consumo fresco o industrializado. Debido a su importancia comercial, se realizan investigaciones de sus cultivos, para obtener plántulas de buena calidad. El ácido salicílico ha sido propuesto como un regulador de crecimiento vegetal, debido a los efectos inducidos en algunos procesos fisiológicos de las plantas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de diferentes concentraciones de ácido salicílico sobre la germinación y calidad de plántulas de tomate. Las pruebas de imbibición de las semillas y la preparación del ácido salicílico se realizaron en el laboratorio de fisiología y biotecnología vegetal del Intituto Tecnológico de Conkal, Yucatán, durante 2016-2017. Se utilizaron semillas de tomate variedad Río Grande con hábito de crecimiento determinado. Las semillas se sometieron a un proceso de imbibición durante 24 h en condiciones de laboratorio controladas. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron 0, 1, 0.01 y 0.0001 μM de ácido salicílico (AS) y como control uno sin imbibición.

La producción de maíz (Zea mays L.) amarillo en México es deficitaria y su demanda aumenta cada año. En este trabajo se estimaron los efectos de aptitud combinatoria general, específica, efectos maternos y recíprocos para las variables de rendimiento y sus componentes de cinco variedades de maíz amarillo de bajo nivel de endogamia y sus cruzas dialélicas. Todos los genotipos se evaluaron en un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones por ambiente, durante el ciclo primavera-verano de 2017 a 2019. El análisis genético se realizó usando el método I de Griffing. Los resultados indicaron que la variedad IA324 por su alto rendimiento tendría una alta contribución en la expresión del rendimiento de su progenie y podría incluirse en un programa de mejoramiento genético de maíz. Las cruzas directa y recíproca con mayor aptitud combinatoria específica (ACE) para rendimiento fueron HVAA-10 x IA324 e IA324 x HVAA-9, respectivamente. Se comprobó que el empleo de progenitores de aptitud combinatoria general (ACG) contrastante permitió la expresión favorable de sus progenies. Las variedades de grano amarillo de este trabajo con altos efectos de ACG pueden emplearse para desarrollar variedades sintéticas o seguir avanzándolas más ciclos de selección, teniendo en cuenta que las líneas con alta ACG detectadas en pruebas tempranas conservan sus valores aditivos en generaciones avanzadas, mientras que las cruzas con alta ACE se pueden usar para hibridación.

Published: June 2021

In this article, a numerical investigation was performed on a quadrotor UAV propeller with the aim of examining effects of airspeed and rotational speed on thrust coefficient, which is one of the most important parameters on propeller aerodynamic performance. In that purpose, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses of an 11-inch propeller were carried out at different airspeeds and rotational speeds in vertical climbing flight condition. In order to have optimum number of mesh elements in computational domain, mesh independence analyses were also conducted. In conclusion, results of the analyses with k-ω SST turbulence model were shown that, increase in rotational speed was leaded to higher turbulent kinetic energy. Furthermore, higher rotational speeds also resulted in higher differences between numerical estimations and experimental data, but found to become more independent from airspeed.

Wuhan was discouraged over time as a tourist destination after the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world. This unique and unexpected situation, particularly affected foreign students’ behaviour, urging them to avoid the well-known Chinese tourist spot, notoriety recently tainted by the spread of the epidemic around the world. The objective of this research is to determine if there are any direct and indirect impacts of destination image on behavioural intention through attitude. Based on an online survey of 385 participants were analysed using path analysis through a nonprobability, convenience-sampling approach. Findings suggest that: (1) destination image is directly associated with attitude; (2) attitude is directly associated with behavioural intention; (3) destination image is directly associated with behavioural intention; (4) destination image is indirectly associated with behavioural intention through attitude. The outcome of this research will therefore a contribution to decision-making process managers of tourism destinations so that they can manage their business in the best possible way to accommodate the post-pandemic situation.

Background: High blood pressure is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and neurological disease among children and adults. The American Heart Association recommended blood pressure evaluation among children aged more than 3 years for early detection of complications. Nutritional status was considered to have association with elevated blood pressure in children. Objective: To assess the association between nutritional status and the blood pressure of preschool children in Denpasar, Bali. Methods: This was a descriptive analytic cross-sectional study. Four hundred and fifty-six children aged 3-6 years who attended Kindergarten 2019 in Denpasar were enrolled by the cluster random sampling design. Results: From 456 samples obtained ratio between boys and girls was 1,1: 1. Median age of the sample was 5 years (3-5 years old). The majority of nutritional status was well nourished (52.2%) and obesity was found 11.8%. majority children had normotension (64%), and followed by pre-hypertension (25.4%), hypertension stage 1 (8.6%) and hypertension stage 2 (2%). Bivariate analysis showed that obesity and sex were risk factor for toddler having higher level of blood pressure with. Multivariate analysis showed children with obesity and boys are 2.8- and 1.8-times more likely to have hypertension (CI 95% 1.72-4.81; CI 95% 1.24-2.76, respectively). Low birth weight and prematurity were not found to be significantly related to level of blood pressure. Conclusion: Children with obesity were found to be significantly related to elevated blood pressure (hypertension).

The issue of HIV/AIDS as a human rights issue in relation to public health has in principle become a topic of conversation in international public health law. In 1946, the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed that the highest success of a goal of public health standards was success in the treatment of HIV/AIDS as a fundamental issue of human rights. According to the last data of November 2019, Bali was ranked in the top five cases of HIV/AIDS with the number of PEOPLE with HIV/AIDS reaching 22,034 people. Of the number of cases nationally, Bali ranks number five after DKI Jakarta and West Java, even if reviewed from the average percentage compared to the population, Bali ranks in the top two nationally after Papua. The data when compared to the previous two years data is very different, where in 2017, Bali is still ranked sixth nationally. This article reviews Factors that affect the application of the legal system in preventing the transmission of HIV / AIDS in Bali Province. This research is a normative juridical research. Designed using the statute approach and conceptual approach. The results showed that Factors that affect the application of the legal system in preventing the transmission of HIV / AIDS in Bali Province are Multi-interpretation due to conflict  norms in various cases about HIV/AIDS in Indonesia..

The need for employment in Indonesia continues to increase every year, so there is naturally a concern that there will be conditions where the need for employment is more than the available employment opportunities. Therefore, several actions have been taken by the executive and legislature to anticipate these conditions, one of which is by facilitating the establishment of a limited liability company which previously had to be established by 2 (two) or more people to only 1 (one) person with certain conditions regulated in Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. In practice, there are many internal disputes related to conflicts of interest in a limited liability company established by 2 (two) or more people, even though when it is founded by 2 (two) or more people, supervision of the management of a limited liability company will certainly be better than that of a limited liability company established. by 1 (one) person. This study discusses the potential for a conflict of interest in a limited liability company established by 1 (one) person who also serves as the only member of the Director in the company.Keywords: Limited Liability Company, Conflict of Interest, Job Creation.
