Authors: Sohrab M , Majidzadeh K , Morovvati A , Soleimani M
Published: February 2022

Background & Objective: There is a vast range of diseases caused by Salmonella including gastroenteritis, enteric fever, bacteraemia, and focal infection. Salmonella infection is usually transmitted to humans by consuming foods or water contaminated with animal or human waste. This study aims to design a quantitative-LAMP method for real-time detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the causative agent of Typhoid fever.
Materials & Methods: A new LAMP primer set was designed and used based on the ViaB gene to specifically detect S. Typhi. The genome of some Salmonella-related and non- Salmonella-related bacteria was subjected to the LAMP assay for detection of S. Typhi to evaluate its analytical specificity, its analytical sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD). Further, turbidity in tubes was measured by a turbidimeter, and then a standard curve was depicted by plotting (Tt) time threshold values against the logarithm of ViaB gene copy number and this standard curve helped the researchers a lot to obtain a quantitative method.
Results: The Salmonella Typhi LAMP assay specifically assessed the ViaB gene. It was shown that the analytical sensitivity of the assay was 0.28 fg using agarose gel electrophoresis or amplification plots in Loop amp real-time turbidimeter system, whereas the amplification was 2.8 fg under direct observation of fluorescent color changes. In the proposed methods, the lower limit of detection (LLOQ) of the assays was ~1 and 8 copies of the ViaB gene, respectively. In the LAMP assay for the quantitative detection of Salmonella Typhi, the linear correlation (r2= 0.97) was calculated between the log copy number and Tt values.
Conclusions: The Salmonella Typhi LAMP assay is a simple and accurate tool to detect the causative agent of Typhoid fever that may be designed for clinical laboratories.

Published: February 2022

Background & Objective: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women around the world. Attempts to find alternative therapies continue due to therapeutic resistance, side effects, and the high cost of conventional treatments.
Materials & Methods: Hydro-methanolic extract of Ulva lactuca and Hypnea musiformis marine algae was prepared by maceration method. The phenolic content of these extracts was compared using the standard Folin-Ciocateu method and the antioxidant capacity was evaluated by the FRAP method. The cytotoxic effects of algae were compared using MTT assay and morphological changes were evaluated by an inverted microscope.
Results: The phenolic content of Hypnea musiformis extract (12.46 ± 1.19 µg GAE/mg, P<0.0001), and its antioxidant activity (203.03 ± 27.87 µmol Fe2+/g, P= 0.007), was significantly higher than that of the alga Ulva lactuca. The cytotoxic effects of Hypnea musiformis extract were concentration and time dependent and had severe morphological changes on the cells. Algae extract of Hypnea musiformis (1000 µg/ml) inhibited 84.79 ± 4.66 of % cell proliferation after 72 hours of treatment. The IC50 value of cytotoxic effect of Hypnea musiformis and Ulva lactuca on MDA-MB-468 was respectively 701.2 and >1000 µg/ml after 72h incubation.
Conclusions: Hypnea musiformis had higher cytotoxic effects than Ulva lactuca on MDA-MB-468 cells, probably due to its higher phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. Therefore, it appears that a Hypnea musiformis alga is a better option to continue research on drug discovery of anticancer compounds.

Published: February 2022

Impurity profiling is an important aspect in drug therapy for its safety and efficacy. The study of impurities of sartans, the first line antihypertensive drugs, has become critical due to presence of cancer causing N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N-nitrosodiisopropylamine (NDIPA) in them, resulting from production and degradation process. These impurities have led to worldwide recall of products. Hence, a simple and accurate method has been developed and validated for simultaneous detection of NDMA, NDEA and NDIPA in Losartan using High Performance Liquid Chromatography - Ultra violet (HPLC - UV) system. The impurities were analyzed on Inertsil ODS 3V (250mm × 4.6mm, 5.0µm) analytical column by using water:methanol (60:40) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, with a run time of 30 mins. The method was developed for the acceptance limit of 0.64 ppm for NDMA, 0.177 ppm for NDEA and NDIPA respectively. On comparison with existing approaches, the developed method is fast, ideal for routine screening and is suitable for both laboratory and industrial uses.

Published: February 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to share the results, follow-up, and treatment characteristics of our pregnant women who were followed-up with anti-Toxoplasma gondii Immunoglobulin (Ig) M positivity during pregnancy.
Methods: Anti-T. gondii IgM- and IgG-positive pregnant women were evaluated between 2014-2018. Demographic characteristics, treatment, and information about pregnancy were obtained from the electronic database. Pregnant women were divided into three groups; primary infection, no infection, and suspected infection in pregnancy. Primary and suspected infection in pregnancy were followed up congenital toxoplasmosis risky pregnancy. Fetal ultrasonography (USG), T. gondii DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result in amniotic fluid were recorded.
Results: Twenty-four pregnant women with a mean age of 27.9 years were followed up. IgG avidity results were low in 37.5% (n = 9), intermediate avidity in 8.3% (n = 2), and high avidity in 54.2% (n = 13) of pregnant women. Eleven (45.9%) pregnant women had congenital toxoplasmosis risky pregnancy. Fetal USG was performed on ten pregnant women, and no signs of congenital toxoplasmosis were found. Amniocentesis was performed in 72.7% (n = 8) of the participants, and the amniotic fluid T. gondii DNA-PCR result was negative in all of them. Ten (90.9%) pregnancies resulted in mature birth and one (9.1%) resulted in miscarriage.
Conclusions: Anti-T. gondii IgM positivity is an indication of acute infection. But IgM can persist for years, and be false-positive in pregnancy. Therefore, additional tests are required, and leading to emotional distress and unnecessary interventions in pregnacy women. These results can aid in developing an approach to screening and diagnosis of T. gondii infection in pregnancy.
Showing up “More as My True Self”: Gender and Mushing in the United States
Authors: Beyer Victoria , Caron Cynthia M.
Published: February 2022

Mushing exists in several forms: short and long-distance races, adventure tourism, recreation, and sport. While some scholars assert that gender does not influence a musher’s experience, this research, based on interviews with mushers, broadens understanding of how gender influences mushing and a musher’s sense of self. Nearly all research participants initially stated that gender is irrelevant in mushing; for example, in competitions, people of all genders compete directly against one another. As interviews unfolded, participants spoke about how gender norms and stereotypes complicated their experiences and how non-mushers perceive them. Despite depictions of mushing as masculine, participants stated that mushing embodies both masculine and feminine traits and is empowering for all genders. We suggest that scholars in outdoor recreation continue to broaden their research agendas to acknowledge the complexity of gender identities and the empowering nature of the outdoors, particularly for persons who reject the traditional gender binary.

Purpose

This study aimed at examining differences in satisfaction with the employment situation between employed and unemployed Latinx with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the United States (N = 148).

Method

Participants in this study responded to a national survey of the employment and community living concerns of people with MS. Multivariate analysis of variance and a follow-up univariate analysis of variance were conducted to compare the group differences.

Results

The analyses revealed statistically significant between-group differences in satisfaction ratings on items pertaining to personal and environmental resources and fair treatment, but no significant between-group differences in response to items related to legal rights.

Conclusion

The findings in this study confirmed our a priori expectation that satisfaction ratings regarding the overall employment situation among Latinx Americans with MS would vary as a function of their workforce participation status. Implications for future research and clinical practice in vocational rehabilitation in the COVID-19 era are discussed.

Para isso, buscamos compreender como se deu o processo de apropriação do conceito de memória na área da Ciência da Informação e como as Instituições de Memória colaboram no processo de legitimação da memória coletiva. Realiza uma pesquisa exploratória por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, como procedimento metodológico para a construção deste estudo. Contextualiza o surgimento da memória no campo da Filosofia e demais áreas das Ciências Humanas. Considera que a memória surge a partir de um entendimento restrito e que, posteriormente, é apropriada pelas Ciências Sociais, que entendem a memória a partir de uma perspectiva ampla e coletiva. Apresenta indícios do processo de apropriação do conceito de memória pela Ciência da Informação e ressalta que, diante das múltiplas possibilidades de realizar trabalhos no campo da memória, está a de compreender a função social desempenhada pelas Instituições de Memória, consideradas espaços que exercem um papel relevante na manutenção das identidades sociais e na legitimação de suas memórias. Conclui que a memória, enquanto mecanismo de representação social, é indispensável para a formação social das identidades e que seu processo de consolidação na Ciência da Informação ainda se encontra em desenvolvimento.
dimensões da mediação da informação como fundamento para a mediação da leitura voltada para o idoso
Authors: Calheira Fausto José Silva , Santos Raquel do Rosário
Published: February 2022

A prática da leitura possibilita o intercâmbio de informações importantes e apoia o desenvolvimento das capacidades intelectuais e o senso crítico dos sujeitos. A mediação da leitura também contribui com o processo de (re)construção do conhecimento e, ao mesmo tempo, visa proporcionar uma autonomia diante da interpretação e das emoções que são geradas no momento da leitura. Nessa perspectiva, este estudo evidencia o alcance das dimensões da mediação da informação propostas por Gomes (2014, 2016, 2017, 2019a, 2019b) nas atividades de mediação da leitura com os idosos. Quanto à metodologia, foi adotada a abordagem qualitativa, com o uso do método documental. Buscou-se a articulação dos aspectos teóricos, conceituais e analíticos que subsidiaram a discussão sobre as atividades de mediação da leitura com os idosos, realizadas e documentadas pelas instituições de longa permanência localizadas em Salvador, Bahia. Por meio do desenvolvimento reflexivo, considera que o mediador, ao buscar uma atuação consciente nas atividades de mediação da leitura, de modo a alcançar as cinco dimensões dialógica, estética, formativa, ética e política, contribui com o processo de ressignificação da vida dos idosos e com a apropriação da informação por parte dos sujeitos envolvidos na ação mediadora, o que favorecerá o fortalecimento do protagonismo social.
Linguística documental e semiótica documental

Published: February 2022

A proposta desta pesquisa é analisar o processo epistemológico da Linguística Documental, bem como a Semiótica Documental na Espanha. Somado a isso, também deseja analisar a relação dessas disciplinas com a Documentação desenvolvida na Espanha. Outrossim, estabelecer breves relações com as teorias que atuam como base da Linguística Documental, no caso a Linguística Estrutural e da Semiótica Documental, por sua vez, a Semiótica. Para tanto, aplicou-se uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, tipo descritiva, de caráter exploratória. Trata-se de abordagem teórico-bibliográfica, com o propósito crítico e reflexivo acerca das disciplinas Linguística Documental e Semiótica Documental, bem como acerca da Linguística Estrutural e Semiótica. Desse modo, há um processo metalinguístico nos procedimentos que envolvem a interpretação da informação e sua organização em conceitos e na representação do documento, por via de uma tradução de conceitos responsáveis por representar a informação documental, já que essa informação é produzida em linguagem natural, por conseguinte traduzida, em procedimentos metalinguísticos, para a linguagem documental especializada. Portanto, os estudos que exploram a Organização do Conhecimento e a Ciência da Documentação estão alinhados à importância da linguagem no processo de tratamento documental. Sendo assim, a Linguística possibilita extrair do documento informações que estão subentendidas e inscritas em seus aspectos dialógicos, em uma perspectiva intertextual, o chamado signo documental, a mesma medida, a Semiótica peirceana possibilita tratar a semiose documental.

A partir da análise das postagens no período de dois anos, entre julho de 2018 a junho de 2020, chegou-se a 1528 tipos de postagens, sendo possível identificar a relação do que é publicado com as quatro funções da biblioteca pública: informativa, educativa, cultural e recreativa. Com publicações diversificadas, as postagens em maior quantidade têm função informativa. Mesmo assim, as outras funções estão bem presentes nos ambientes virtuais das bibliotecas públicas. Conclui-se que um número pequeno de bibliotecas públicas utiliza as mídias sociais. Nesta utilização há criação variada de conteúdo, divulgação de serviços e produtos e uma nova forma de comunicação direta com seus usuários.

O presente artigo propõe um método de detecção, identificação e visualização da longevidade (tempo) e do tamanho da coautoria (número de pessoas) na ciência brasileira, possibilitando a análise dos caminhares dos pesquisadores de acordo com as áreas do conhecimento. Os dados utilizados referem-se a todos os doutores ativos em 2019 registrados na Plataforma Lattes. O método empregado permite observar todos os possíveis agrupamentos de pesquisadores na colaboração em coautoria ao longo do tempo. Os resultados apresentados evidenciam que grupos menores têm uma longevidade maior em relação aos grupos de tamanhos maiores. Este artigo caracteriza de maneira inédita os caminhares (em função da longevidade e tamanho) dos pesquisadores brasileiros, permitindo observar o atuar de cada pesquisador não de forma isolada/independente mas de forma grupal/dependente da interação colaborativa e social, como a ciência é realizada na atualidade.

Published: February 2022

Introduction. Acne vulgaris is a common, chronic, inflammatory disease which significantly affect the quality of life. Oral isotretinoin is an extremely effective drug used in the treatment of acne, nevertheless, it’s adverse effects raise concerns among patients.Aim. The aim of the study was to determine dermatologist’s role in decreasing patients’ concerns about oral isotretinoin therapy in the treatment of acne vulgaris.Material and Methods. 521 people who discussed oral isotretinoin therapy during a medical appointment filled an anonymous, online questionnaire. The respondents answered the questions about dermatologist’s impact on decreasing oral isotretinoin therapy fear.Results. The respondents assessed dermatologist’s role in decreasing patients’ concerns about oral isotretinoin therapy on average to 7,07 ± 2,58 and the amount of time spent on discussing such a therapy to 6,78 ± 2,83 on average. There is a significant positive correlation between the amount of time spent on discussing oral isotretinoin therapy and the assessment of the dermatologist’s role in decreasing concerns about this treatment (R Spearman = +0,538; p < 0,05). 51,43% of the respondents declared reduction of their concerns after a doctor’s appointment. Better assessment of the amount of time spent on discussing oral isotretinoin therapy is positively correlated with reduction of the fear of such a treatment (R Spearman = +0,593; p < 0,05).Conclusions. The results of our study indicate to dermatologist’s crucial role in disseminating reliable knowledge and education among patients about acne treatment. It is essential to devote an appropriate amount of time and due attention to the educational aspect of the treatment.

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common skin disease caused by long-term sun exposure and typically forms on the face, neck, balding scalp, chest and shoulders. AK is characterized by the formation of keratotic macules, papules, or plaques with superficial scales on a red base. Treatment options for actinic keratosis include destructive therapies (eg, surgery, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy [PDT], dermabrasion), topical medications (eg, diclofenac, topical fluorouracil, imiquimod, ingenol mebutate), and field ablation treatments (eg, chemical peels, laser resurfacing). The aim of this paper was to present a case of patient with AK and the allergic reaction to the 3% diclofenac sodium topical gel ( DSTG) treatment. After a few days of therapy an acute, eczematous reaction on the face was observed. The symptoms have subsided within a week after discontinuing the treatment. The patch test with 3% diclofenac sodium topical gel was performed and evaluated as positive suggesting a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to active medication or its inactive ingredients. In case of contact allergy confirmed with PT, it is important to inform the patient on the need of future medication avoidance.

Setiap manusia memiliki karakter yang berbeda antara satu dengan yang lainnya, salah satunya adalah karakteristik alami yang dimiliki oleh manusia yaitu wajah. Wajah manusia tentu saja memiliki ciri unik yang membedakan satu dengan lainnya, sehingga dapat dikenali oleh manusia lain maupun oleh suatu sistem yang memiliki kemampuan tersebut. Pengenalan wajah berkaitan erat dengan  biometrik manusia, hal tersebut dikarenakan terdapat informasi unik yang terkandung di dalamnya. Teknologi pengenalan wajah dapat dimanfaatkan salah satunya pada sistem presensi kehadiran.

Banyak metode yang digunakan pada proses pengenalan wajah, salah satunya dengan menggunakan algoritma eigenface. Eigenface berfungsi untuk menghitung eigenvalue dan eigenvector yang akan digunakan sebagai fitur dalam melakukan pengenalan wajah. Citra akan direpresentasikan dalam sebuah gabungan vektor yang dijadikan satu matriks tunggal. Dari matriks tunggal ini akan di ekstrasi suatu ciri utama yang membedakan antara citra wajah satu dengan citra wajah yang lainnya. Untuk dapat mengenali dan mengidentifikasi wajah seseorang maka pada penelitian ini  diperlukan sebuah tools tambahan berupa web camera atau sering kita kenal dengan istilah WebCam dan aplikasi yang akan digunakan adalah Visual Studio 2012.

Teknologi pengenalan wajah ini dapat dimanfaatkan oleh IT Telkom Purwokerto sebagai sistem presensi kehadiran mahasiswa. Salah satu hasil evaluasi perlunya pemanfaatan teknologi face recognition sebagai sistem presensi kehadiran mahasiswa dikarenakan belum optimalnya pemanfaatan sistem absensi berbasis RFID yang sebelumnya telah digunakan, berbagai permasalahan teknis yang dihadapi oleh sistem absensi tersebut mengakibatkan proses absensi kembali dilakukan secara manual menggunakan kertas absensi yang diberikan oleh Dosen.

Shares are securities as proof of ownership of investors in a company. Stocks have a volatile nature, this makes stocks difficult to predict. Stock prediction is an effort to estimate the stock price, especially in the Bank Rakyat Indonesia company that will appear in the future, and to increase investors' profit opportunities in making investment decisions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bank BRI's shares experienced significant ups and downs in four months, which illustrates the sensitivity of the stock to an event. Therefore, it is important to predict stock prices to reduce the risk accepted by investors. The prediction itself requires time series data. Time series is data that is collected sequentially from time to time. The method used for time series data is Linear Regression because this method can handle time-series data. Based on these problems, stock prediction research will be conducted at the Bank Rakyat Indonesia company using the Linear Regression method. Bank Rakyat Indonesia share price data were obtained from the investing.com website from the period starting on January 1, 2008, to June 1, 2020. The data is processed starting from preprocessing to determine attributes, remove unnecessary attributes, and change the contents of the data type, then process split data to divide the dataset into training and test data. The attributes used in this study are Date and Price and the distribution of the data used is 60:40, 65:35, 70:30, 75:25, and 80:20. The best ratio is at 80:20 which produces train and test accuracy of 0.89 and 0.91, Then each training data and testing data are entered into the linear regression model for prediction. The error results from the predictions were calculated using MAPE and yielded a percentage of 13.751% for training data, 13.773% for test data, and 13.755% for overall data. The MAPE results indicate that the linear regression method can be used to predict the stock price of BRI Bank.

Background: The isoflurane minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) was measured in rats chronically treated with WIN 55,212-2. Methods: The isoflurane MAC was determined in 24 male rats from the end expiratory samples at time of tail clamping under the following conditions: without treatment (MACISO), in rats treated for 21 days with WIN 55,212-2 (MACISO+WIN55) and other group 8 days after stopping treatment for 21 days with WIN 55,212-2 (MACISO+WIN55+8D). Results: The MACISO was 1.32 ± 0.06. In the MACISO+WIN55 group the MAC increase to 1.69 ± 0.09 (28%). After 8 days stopping treatment, MAC did not decrease significantly 1.67 ± 0.07 (26%). Conclusions: The administration for 21 days of WIN 55,212-2 increases the MAC of isoflurane in rats; this effect does not disappear after 8 days of discontinuing treatment with the synthetic cannabinoid.
