Published: October 2022

Introduction

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) was the most common gynecological disorder, with an increasingly high prevalence worldwide. PD often accompanied other dysmenorrhea-associated symptoms to trigger exacerbations, and even cause depression and anxiety for patients. As the effective first-line medication, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have become widespread across China and combined with oral traditional Chinese patent medicines (TCPMs) for PD in clinical practice. We hope to provide better efficacy and safety evidence about oral TCPMs combined with NSAIDs (oral TCPMs+NSAIDs) for patients with PD by this network meta-analysis.

Methods and analysis

We will perform a Bayesian network meta-analysis of all oral TCPMs+NSAIDs for clinical diagnosis as PD. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP information resource integration service platform databases, and clinical registers will be searched from the database inception to June 30, 2022 to find randomized controlled trials. Two reviewers will independently screen and check titles and abstracts and read the full text. Data extraction with the same criteria will be conducted by two researchers, including study characteristics, participant characteristics, interventions and comparators, and outcomes. We will perform the network meta-analysis by the Bayesian random method to analyze the direct and indirect comparisons. Meta-regression with multiple covariates will be conducted to find the potential heterogeneity. We will perform the sensitivity analysis to identify the potential effect on the robustness of our results. Evidence certainty of all interventions in outcomes will be identified and assessed by Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) assessment. Funnel plots with Egger test and Begg’s test to detect the potential publication bias.

Upwelling and nutrient dynamics in the Arabian Gulf and sea of Oman
Authors: Ismail Kaltham Abbas , Al Shehhi Maryam R.
Published: October 2022

This study demonstrates the vertical and horizontal distribution of nutrients and the seasonal response of nutrients to upwelling in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Thus, monthly data on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate are obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA), as well as estimates of coastal and curl driven upwelling in both regions. The results of the study indicate that the Sea of Oman’s surface and deep waters contained higher concentrations of nutrients than the Arabian Gulf by 80%. In addition, both regions have exhibited a general increase in the vertical distribution of nutrients as the depth increases. Among the aforementioned nutrients, nitrate is found to be a more limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth than phosphate as the nitrate-to-phosphate ratios (N:P) in surface waters are lower (≤ 4.6:1) than the Redfield ratio (16:1). As for the upwelling, curl-driven upwelling accounts for more than half of the total upwelling in both regions, and both play an important role in nutrient transport. Thus, nutrients are upwelled from the subsurface to the mixed layer at a rate of 50% in the Oman Sea from 140 m to 20 m during the summer and to 40 m during the winter. Similarly, the Arabian Gulf shows 50% transport for nitrates, but 32% for phosphates, from 20 m to 5–10 m. However, due to the abundance of diatoms at the surface of the Arabian Gulf, the surface silicate content is 30% higher than that of the deeper waters.

Published: October 2022

Infection, trauma, and autoimmunity trigger tissue inflammation, often leading to pain and loss of function. Therefore, approaches to control inflammation based on nanotechnology principles are being developed in addition to available methods. The metal-based nanoparticles are particularly attractive due to the ease of synthesis, control over physicochemical properties, and facile surface modification with different types of molecules. Here, we report curcumin conjugated silver (Cur-Ag) nanoparticles synthesis, followed by their surface functionalization with isoniazid, tyrosine, and quercetin, leading to Cur-AgINH, Cur-AgTyr, and Cur-AgQrcnanoparticles, respectively. These nanoparticles possess radical scavenging capacity, haemocompatibility, and minimal cytotoxicity to macrophages. Furthermore, the nanoparticles inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β from macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The findings reveal that the careful design of surface corona of nanoparticles could be critical to increasing their efficacy in biomedical applications.
Bystander-witnessed cardiopulmonary resuscitation by nonfamily is associated with neurologically favorable survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Miyazaki City District
Authors: Tsuruda Toshihiro , Hamahata Takaaki , Endo George J. , Tsuruda Yuki , Kaikita Koichi
Published: October 2022

Background

Bystander intervention in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a key factor in bridging the gap between the event and the arrival of emergency health services at the site. This study investigated the implementation rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) and 1-month survival after OHCA in Miyazaki prefecture and Miyazaki city district as well as compared them with those of eight prefectures in the Kyushu-Okinawa region in Japan. In addition, we analyzed prehospital factors associated with survival outcomes in Miyazaki city district.

Methods

We used data from an annual report released by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency of Japan (n = 627,982) and the Utstein reporting database in Miyazaki city district (n = 1,686) from 2015 to 2019.

Result

Despite having the highest rate of bystander CPR (20.8%), the 1-month survival rate (15.7%) of witnessed OHCA cases of cardiac causes in Miyazaki city district was comparable with that in the eight prefectures between 2015 and 2019. However, rates of survival (10.7%) in Miyazaki prefecture were lower than those in other prefectures. In 1,686 patients with OHCA (74 ± 18 years old, 59% male) from the Utstein reporting database identical to the 5-year study period in Miyazaki city district, binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age of the recipient [odds ratio (OR) 0.979, 95% confidential interval (CI) 0.964–0.993, p = 0.004)], witness of the arrest event (OR 7.501, 95% CI 3.229–17.428, p < 0.001), AED implementation (OR 14.852, 95% CI 4.226–52.201, p < 0.001), and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before transport (OR 31.070, 95% CI 16.585–58.208, p < 0.001) predicted the 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes. In addition, chest compression at a public place (p < 0.001) and by nonfamily members (p < 0.001) were associated with favorable outcomes (p = 0.015).

Conclusions

We found differences in 1-month survival rates after OHCA in the Kyushu-Okinawa region of Japan. Our results suggest that on-field ROSC with defibrillation performed by nonfamily bystanders who witnessed the event determines 1-month neurological outcomes after OHCA in Miyazaki city district. Continued education of citizens on CPR techniques and better access to AED devices may improve outcomes.
Exploring the barriers to the antiretroviral therapy adherence among people living with HIV in Bangladesh: A qualitative approach
Authors: Hossain Fariha , Hasan Mahmudul , Begum Nilufar , Mohan Devi , Verghis Sharuna , Jahan Nowrozy Kamar
Published: October 2022

Introduction

Since the evolution of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART), a near-perfect ART adherence level (>95%) is needed to control viral suppression. Non-adherence to treatment may lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and drug resistance. Though the Bangladesh government provides free treatment and counselling services to people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV), only 22% of the identified PLHIV continue treatment. Therefore, this study aims to explore the barriers that obstruct the Bangladeshi PLHIV to ensure ART adherence.

Methods

We conducted a qualitative study in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and recruited the sensitive study population following non-probability, mainly purposive sampling from a community-based registered organization for PLHIV. We conducted the in-depth interview using a semi-structured guideline with 15 consented respondents. We transcribed the audio-recorded interviews in the local language (Bangla) and then translated those into English for data analysis. During the data extraction process, the lead and corresponding authors independently extracted raw data to generate different themes and sub-themes and invited other authors to contribute when they could not solve any discrepancies.

Results

The study identified three significant categories of barriers at the individual, community, and institutional levels that negatively interfered with ART adherence. The most dominant barriers were discrimination and rejection related to stigma, as almost all participants mentioned these barriers. Stigmatizing attitudes and the discriminatory act of the community people and healthcare providers critically affected their treatment adherence. Other leading barriers were improper inventory management of ART-related medicines and CD4 tests and lack of proper counselling. In addition, we found that a positive approach toward life and family support motivated some respondents to overcome the barriers.

Conclusions

We recommended strengthening Bangladesh’s HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and management program with a special focus on the improvement of the supply chain of ART-related medicines and CD4 tests and ensuring proper counselling. In addition, we recommended strengthening the behaviour change communication and IEC activities at a large scale to destigmatize health facilities and community levels.

Exploring public practice drama therapy using Drama Hives
Authors: Brennan Cassandra , Tam Rowena
Published: October 2022

This article builds on the current knowledge and approach of public practice drama therapy in community settings. We argue that a public practice of drama therapy might be informed by decolonizing methods, liberation psychology, third spaces, public practice art therapy and the Art Hive model. A case vignette of Drama Hives is presented to highlight our experimentations with drama therapy as a form of public practice that might offer a more holistic approach to care that is complementary to the movement for decolonization. The article concludes with a discussion on the futurity of public practice drama therapy and its research implications.
Deep Learning Approach to Technician Routing and Scheduling Problem
Authors: Pekel Engin
Published: October 2022

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm including the Adam algorithm and body change operator (BCO). Feasible solutions to technician routing and scheduling problems (TRSP) are investigated by performing deep learning based on the Adam algorithm and the hybridization of Adam-BCO. TRSP is a problem where all tasks are routed, and technicians are scheduled. In the deep learning method based on the Adam algorithm and Adam-BCO algorithm, the weights of the network are updated, and these weights are evaluated as Greedy approach, and routing and scheduling are performed. The performance of the Adam-BCO algorithm is experimentally compared with the Adam and BCO algorithm by solving the TRSP on the instances developed from the literature. The numerical results evidence that Adam-BCO offers faster and better solutions considering Adam and BCO algorithm. The average solution time increases from 0.14 minutes to 4.03 minutes, but in return, Gap decreases from 9.99% to 5.71%. The hybridization of both algorithms through deep learning provides an effective and feasible solution, as evidenced by the results.
Comparative Evaluation of Techniques for n-way Stream Joins in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Djail Boubekeur
Published: October 2022

In wireless sensor networks, sensor data are accessed using relational queries. Join queries are commonly used to retrieve the data from multiple tables stored in different parts of a wireless sensor network. However, such queries require large amounts of energy. Many studies have intended to reduce query energy consumption. However, most of the proposed techniques addressed binary joins which are performed between static tables. N-way joins between data streams were rarely considered. Join queries using data streams work continuously and require increasing energy, which is why n-way joins involving several tables consume so much energy. Thus, the challenge lies in reducing energy dissipation. Additionally, it is necessary to determine the appropriate execution order for an n-way join. The number of possible implementations of an n-way join grows exponentially with the tables’ number. In this paper, interesting approaches for n-way joins between streams of data are evaluated. The methods that have been compared are extern-join, Sens-join of Stern et al, and the two techniques NSLJ (N-way Stream Local Join) and NSLSJ (N-way Stream Local Semi-Join). Comparisons are conducted according to several parameters to determine which use case is appropriate for each technique. NSLSJ works best for join queries with low join selectivity factors, while extern-join is more suitable for queries with very high selectivity factors.

“Civilizing” the “Barbaric” Child: The Case of the Khadrs
Authors: Patel Sharifa
Published: October 2022

In this article I explore the Khadr family through shifting Canadian news media representations and the CBC’s documentaries, “Al Qaeda’s Family” and “Out of the Shadows.” Omar Khadr and his parents, Maha Elsamnah and Ahmed Khadr, came to be framed as a “bad” Muslim family as a result of supposed failed (Muslim) parenting. I interrogate how media attach Omar Khadr’s acts of violence to orientalist images of the violent (terrorist) Muslim family, and framed Elsamnah and Ahmed Khadr as foreign and un-Canadian parents, unable and unwilling to socialize their children within the Canadian state order. When Omar Khadr was released from prison, it was only under the guidance of his white lawyer, Dennis Edney, that he could be rehabilitated and brought back into Canadian society in Canadian news media framings. In order for Khadr to be portrayed as worthy of reentering Canada, images of him practicing his religion, wearing non-Western clothing, and even speaking Arabic were subdued. It is within the images of Khadr in the Edney home, severing his relationship with his family, that the Canadian public could be reassured that Khadr would be able to reinvent himself as a Canadian citizen, a child soldier, rather than a Muslim terrorist.

Forecasting The Export Value of Iron and Steel during The Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Rakhmawan Sapto
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly impacted international trade activities. This also affected the decline in Indonesian exports during 2020. Amid declining Indonesian exports, iron and steel commodities showed positive growth. Iron and steel export has contributed significantly to Indonesia's non-oil and gas export. Hence, the export of iron and steel is essential for boosting the economic development. Forecasting iron and steel export, therefore, becomes a necessity to assist the government in making the right policies related to the economic development. In this study, the ARIMA model will be discussed in-depth and will be applied to forecast the export value of iron and steel. We use export value of iron and steel data from January 2009 to December 2020. The results show that the ARIMA model is suitable for modeling iron and steel export data and the export value of iron and steel will increase for the next 12 periods.
Financial Constraints, Tax Burdens, and Firm Growth: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Arie Ridhollah Muhammad
Published: October 2022

Using a subjective measure of the constraints and data from World Bank Enterprise Survey, this paper investigates whether two business constraints, financial constraints and tax burdens, have the same impact on Indonesian firm growth. This paper employs instrumental variable estimation to handle endogeneity problems and finds that among the two business constraints examined in the analyses, only the financial constraint is a binding constraint that has a significantly negative impact on Indonesian firm growth, while taxes have a positive and significant impact on firm growth. Based on size classification, a significant impact is only found on large firms. Financial constraints and tax burdens are likely not to be binding constraints to firm growth for small firms, and the benefits from taxes are also not found on these firms. Further investigation of financial constraints reveals that private firms, manufacturing firms, and young firms are more sensitive to the negative impact of financial constraints.

Authors: Putri Asri Mutiara , Ronoatmodjo Sudarto
Published: October 2022

Background: There was an increase in the proportion of birth weight less than 2500 grams from 5.7 in 2013 to 6.2 in 2018. Several provinces in Java Island also still have the proportion of LBW above the average proportion of LBW in Indonesia (> 6.2 %) such as Banten, West Java, Yogyakarta Special Region, and East Java. Maternal characteristics such as rural residence and unwanted pregnancy status are related to low birth weight. This study aims to determine the relationship between unwanted pregnancy and LBW events in rural areas in Java Island.Methods: This study was conducted by analysing secondary data from the results of the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The sample in this study consists of all live births in the last 5 years prior to the survey with reports of birth weight less than 2500 grams born to women aged 15- 49 years in rural Java Island when the survey took place and was successfully interviewed, and has a complete answer (no answer missing).Result: After weighting, 1821 samples were obtained. The result found that the proportion of LBW events in rural areas in Java Island is 6.3%. Meanwhile, of all pregnancies during the study period, 13.5% were unwanted pregnancies. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between unwanted pregnancy status and LBW in rural areas in Java Island after adjusted by maternal age, mother's education level, maternal employment status, economic level, problems in getting health care/treatment, ANC, and parity (POR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.72-2.38).Conclusion: It is necessary to measure variables more accurately in the questionnaire and carry out further research by including other risk factors.
