The impact of mechanical pretreatment on biogas production from waste materials of the
chemical and brewing industries
Authors: Bernat Katarzyna , Zaborowska Magdalena , Goryszewska Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

Respirometric tests, carried out in OxiTop system, were used to determine biogas
production (BP) from two waste materials, willow bark residue (W) from the chemical
industry and brewer’s spent grain (BSG) from the brewing industry. Moreover,
the kinetics of BP and the loss of organic compounds (expressed as COD) were
investigated. In this investigation, W and BSG were used both in their unchanged
forms and after mechanical pretreatment (grinding to a diameter of 1 mm)
(W_G and BSG_G). The initial organic load in the bioreactors was 4 kg OM/m3.
The BP from W was 154.1 dm3/kg DM (166.6 dm3/kg OM), and from BSG, it
was 536.9 dm3/kg DM (559.5 dm3/kg OM). This probably resulted from the fact
that the content of lignin that was hard to biodegrade was higher in W than in
BSG. Mechanical pretreatment increased BP from W_G to 186.7 dm3/kg DM
(201.9 dm3/kg OM), and from BSG_G to 564.0 dm3/kg DM (588.7 dm3/kg OM).
The net biogas yield from W and BSG increased by 17% (35 dm3/kg OM) and 5 %
(29 dm3/kg OM), respectively. The kinetic coefficient of BP (kB) and the rate of
BP (rB) of W were lower than those of BSG. Mechanical pretreatment increased
the kB and rB of biogas production from both waste materials.

Published: January 2021

The Mandiri National Health Insurance (JKN) is a national social security system where the premium is paid by participants. In 2018, data on premium arrears for Mandiri participants in Indonesia reached Rp. 5.7 Trillion, in Medan City, the highest premium arrears are in Medan Helvetia Subdistrict, amounting to IDR 4,215,379,613. The results of the initial survey indicate the cause of arrears is due to insufficient income. Green's theory explains that people's behavior in the health sector is formed due to a combination of predisposing, supporting and driving factors. This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of economic factors, knowledge, age, occupation and attitudes towards regulations in arrears of JKN Mandiri premium payments in the working area of Puskesmas Helvetia, Medan City. The research design used a quantitative analytic survey with a cross sectional approach. The study population was all JKN Mandiri participants in the work area of the Helvetia Health Center, Medan City who were in arrears, namely 8260 participants with a sample of 98 people. This research was conducted in the area of Helvetia Health Center, Medan City. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate with multiple linear regression. The results showed that economic factors, knowledge and work have an influence in arrears of JKN Mandiri premium payments. Multivariate analysis shows that economic factors, knowledge, age, occupation and attitudes towards regulation only contribute to premium arrears of 19.7%. There is an influence of economic factors, knowledge and work in arrears to pay the JKN Mandiri premium, while the age factor, attitudes towards regulation have no effect. It is recommended for Puskesmas to always socialize JKN regulations and together with the local government to find solutions so that the community's economy will be better so that they can pay the JKN Mandiri premium.
PLANT NAMES IN ANCIENT AND MODERN HEBREW

Published: January 2021

В статье рассматриваются названия растений в древнееврейском языке (включая библейский, постбиблейский и средневековый) и в современном иврите. Цель данной статьи заключается в том, чтобы исследовать названия растений, упоминаемых в Библии, и их семантические изменения в постбиблейской и средневековой еврейской литературе и в современном иврите. Исследование ботанических терминов осуществлялось на материале текстовых корпусов на иврите разных эпох развития языка в контекстном, семантическом и сравнительном аспектах. Как известно, библейская лексика в части названий растений является динамичной, поскольку большинство фитонимов в библейском языке не имеет однозначной ботанической идентификации, и многие неясности остаются до сих пор. В современном иврите многие из библейских названий растений изменили свои значения с течением времени и сегодня отличаются от исходных. Кроме того, многие растения, упомянутые в Библии, не произрастают сегодня в ареале Ближнего Востока, или, наоборот, появились новые виды растений, которые не были известными ранее. Таким образом, исследование ботанических терминов в разные эпохи развития еврейского языка дает нам представление о развитии семантики данных терминов и о факторах, влияющих на него.

The article discusses the names of plants in ancient Hebrew (biblical, post-biblical, and medieval) and modern Hebrew. The purpose of this article is to investigate the names of plants mentioned in the Bible and their semantic changes in post-biblical, in medieval Jewish literature, and in modern Hebrew. The study of botanical terms was carried out on the material of text corpora in Hebrew of different epochs of the language development in contextual, semantic and comparative aspects. It is a common fact that the biblical vocabulary of plant names is dynamic, since most plant names in the biblical language do not have a clear botanical identification, and many of them remain in question until now. In modern Hebrew, many of the biblical names of plants have changed their meanings over time and they differ today from the ancient language. In addition, many plants mentioned in the Bible do not exist today in the realities of the Middle East, or vice versa, new plant species have appeared that were not known before. Thus, the study of botanical terms in different epochs of the development of the Hebrew language gives the information on the semantic development of these terms and the factors that affect them.

Published: January 2021

В настоящей статье представлен анализ типичных ошибок иностранных студентов при образовании и употреблении русских падежных форм, а также приведены некоторые приемы работы, призванные облегчить запоминание русских падежей обучающимися. Актуальность данного исследования обусловлена прежде всего трудностью системы русского склонения, включающего разнообразие оттенков значения падежей и вариантов падежных флексий. Необходимость эффективного освоения русской падежной системы особенно возрастает при изучении русского языка как иностранного. Овладение грамматическими нормами образования и употребления падежных форм имен существительных русского языка играет важную роль в коммуникации и представляет большую трудность для иностранцев. В статье содержится анализ наиболее частотных ошибок, возникающих при склонении имен существительных, а также намечаются пути преодоления таких ошибок. Для облегчения знакомства с русскими падежными конструкциями наряду с теоретическими упражнениями в методике преподавания русского языка как иностранного активно используются упражнения в игровой форме, различные грамматические рифмовки, имитативные упражнения, мнемонические правила, ролевые игры. Они позволяют иностранным обучающимся в ненавязчивой форме закрепить грамматические правила, а также активизируют совместную речевую деятельность обучающихся, дают возможность совершенствовать полученные речевые навыки и грамматические умения.

The article analyzes typical mistakes of foreign students in the formation and use of Russian case forms, as well as some methods for students’ memorizing Russian cases. The relevance of this research is primarily due to the difficulty of the Russian declension system, which includes a variety of shades of case meaning and variants of case inflections. Effectively mastering the Russian case system is particularly important when studying Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL). Mastering grammatical norms of education and the use of case forms of nouns in the Russian language plays an important role in communication and is a great difficulty for foreigners. The article provides the analysis of the most frequent errors that occur when declension of nouns, and also outlines ways to overcome such errors. To facilitate the process of mastering the Russian case constructions, along with theoretical exercises in the teaching methods of RFL, exercises in the form of games, various grammatical rhyming, imitative exercises, mnemonic rules, and role-playing games are actively used. They contribute to foreign students’ collective speaking and improving their speaking and grammar skills.

Authors: Никитина Александра Валерьевна
Published: January 2021

Рассмотрено понятие «геймификация» и его значение для сферы образования. Разведены понятия «геймификация» и «игровое обучение». Представлены направления, по которым велась трансформация систем обучения через принятие принципов геймдизайна в эксперименте группы родителей по семейному обучению в г. Чебоксары: обучение через получение опыта (учителя не дают готовых ответов, а предлагают для решения задачи и проблемы на основе комплекса дисциплин), осуществление контроля посредством древа навыков (визуально представленной разветвленной карты развития ученика, которая предполагает самостоятельный выбор направления развития тех или иных его умений и навыков), конструирование методики преподавания дисциплин с учетом жанровой специфики видеоигр (игры-действия, симуляторы, стратегии, ролевые игры, приключения, головоломки), специфический дизайн учебного класса (через соотношение приватной и публичной зон). Описаны положительные и отрицательные эффекты внедрения данных направлений: повышение мотивации, прозрачность в оценивании задач, стремление к развитию, точечное решение проблем ребенка, связанных с его коммуникативными и познавательными навыками; возникновение внутренних конфликтов, связанных с получением знания через опыт, постоянное внимание со стороны учителя, тьютора и психолога.

The article considers the concept of gamification and its significance for the sphere of education; differentiates the concepts of gamification and game learning; provides the areas of transformation of training systems through teaching the principles of game design in a family learning group in Cheboksary: learning through experience (teachers do not give answers, but offer some tasks and problems through a set of disciplines), control through the skill tree (a skill tree is a visual branched map of the student’s development, which assumes an independent choice of the area of development of his skills and abilities), the design of disciplines, taking into account the genre of video games (games, simulations, strategies, role-playing games, adventures, puzzles), the specific design of the classroom (through the ratio of private and public zones). The article also describes positive and negative effects of the introduction of these orientations: increased motivation, transparency in the assessment of tasks, the desire for development, the point solution of the child’s problems associated with his communication and cognitive skills; the emergence of internal interactions associated with the acquisition of knowledge through experience, constant attention from the teacher, tutor and psychologist.

ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOUR OF CALCIUM SILICATE HOLLOW BLOCKS MASONRY SUBJECTED TO THE CONCENTRATED LOAD
Authors: Zavalis Mindaugas
Published: January 2021

Loading of masonry with concentrated load is a sufficiently common case of loading which occurs due to structures of various purposes and sizes which lean against masonry wall, column or partition wall. Reinforced concrete or metal beams, reinforced beams, wooden structures of roof or span are leaned against masonry structures most usually. Investigations show that masonry structures under concentrated load withstand higher loads than structures of which the whole surface area is compressed. In most cases traditional bricks’ masonry under concentrated load was investigated. Its head joints are filled with mortar. This paper describes the experimental and numerical modeling results of investigation of calcium silicate hollow blocks masonry with thin layered mortar and unfilled head joints compressed by concentrated load. The more dangerous case when the edge of masonry unit (wall) is affected by concentrated load was chosen for analysis. Preliminary investigations have shown that the bed joints transmiss horizontal stresses. The stress distribution angle is close to 60°, i.e. close to stress distribution in masonry with filled head joints.

Published: January 2021

We investigated the diversity and behaviour of insects that visit flowers of four native Melastoma (Family Melastomataceae) species of Taiwan and a horticultural hybrid Melastoma species at the Fushan Botanical Garden, Taiwan biweekly from May to August 2020. Visits of flower-visiting insects were classified into seven behavioural categories, based on the insects' behaviour and positions on the flower. The data are further assigned into four insect-flower interactions, namely pollination, herbivory, commensalism and neutralism. Our goal is to provide baseline data of insect-plant interactions of Melastoma, which is a common, but understudied plant genus in the country.

A total of 1,289 visits to flowers were recorded by at least 63 insect morphospecies belonging to seven orders. The number of insect species recorded per Melastoma species ranged from 9 to 39. Visiting, sonication and passing were the three most frequently recorded types of behaviour, collectively accounting for 90.2% (n = 1,240) of the total observations. Pollination was the most dominant insect-flower interaction, accounting for 70.2% of the total observations, followed by neutralism (20.0%), herbivory (6.3%) and commensalism (3.5%). Sweat bees of the genera Lasioglossum and Maculonomia (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) are considered key pollinators to Melastoma species in Fushan Botanical Garden, based on their high number of visits and sonication behaviour. Our study provides the first list of insects that visit the flowers of all Taiwan's known Melastoma species and description of their interactions with the plants.

Des enseignant∙e∙s face à des enfants et des parents jugés « non conformes »
Authors: Riban Chloé
Published: January 2021

Dans le cadre d’une enquête ethnographique de plus de deux ans dans un quartier prioritaire de la politique de la ville, nous avons rencontré des équipes enseignantes et des familles afin de mieux comprendre les objectifs des projets visant à faire venir les parents à l’école. La notion de culture, très présente dans les discours des enseignant∙e∙s, fait l’objet de cet article. Nous mettons ici en évidence les contextes dans lesquels elle est évoquée : c’est souvent le comportement des élèves, jugé non « normé », qui débouche sur des lectures ethnicisantes, car il suscite des interrogations relatives à l’éducation familiale. L’intrication des registres explicatifs des difficultés familiales, mêlant classe sociale et origine culturelle, s’ancre dans une dialectique « eux /nous » et favorise des pratiques visant l’acculturation des parents. En effet, l’origine étrangère (parfois supposée) ouvre la voie à des tentatives de normalisation des pratiques éducatives familiales par les équipes enseignantes.

Le verrouillage technologique des filières blés a suscité, dans la période récente, l’émergence d’alternatives qui prennent aujourd’hui une nouvelle dimension au regard des préoccupations des consommateurs vis-à-vis du gluten. Basé sur une recherche-intervention en Occitanie et une étude menée à l’échelle nationale, cet article propose une approche interdisciplinaire et systémique du développement des chaînes locales autour des blés. Il montre comment des agriculteurs et des artisans portent des innovations sociales qui réorientent l’innovation technologique vers un nouveau système agroalimentaire prenant en compte de nouveaux indicateurs de richesse. Tout en prenant place dans les travaux sur le changement d’échelle des circuits courts alimentaires, il appelle ainsi à approfondir le couplage entre innovation sociale et innovation technologique dans l’histoire et la transition des systèmes agroalimentaires.

Circuits courts, relocalisation et changement social : l’exemple d’un marché de producteurs dans la Drôme
Authors: Duboys De Labarre Matthieu , Lecoeur Jean-Loup
Published: January 2021

Cet article propose d’analyser les circuits courts au prisme de l’innovation sociale. Il s’appuie sur une étude de cas (un marché de producteurs biologiques) réalisée dans le cadre du programme Strenght2Food. Sa méthodologie mêle approche qualitative (entretiens semi- directifs et observations) et quantitative (questionnaires). En prolongeant les pistes ouvertes par la littérature, nous questionnons l’articulation entre agriculture, alimentation et innovation sociale. Nous utilisons la notion de délocalisation développée par Anthony Giddens, pour interpréter le contexte dans lequel s’inscrit l’expérience des producteurs et des consommateurs. Nous retraçons d’abord l’historique de cette initiative. Puis nous décrivons les spécificités des acteurs de ce marché. Nous caractérisons ensuite sa nature innovante. Enfin, nous revenons sur la potentialité de transformation sociale dont il serait porteur. Codes JEL : O35, Q12, D91
L’idée d’un droit à un avenir ouvert

Published: January 2021

Tant au niveau individuel que collectif, le numérique est aujourd’hui devenu le principal prescripteur de temporalité : il organise le passé, le présent et le futur de nos existences. Ce faisant, il remplace le possible par le prévisible et l’organise à son profit. Il refaçonne la subjectivité et les représentations collectives du temps. Il ferme l’avenir, et contribue à l’automatisation de l’esprit et de la société. Il fait donc du temps une question politique.
La fabrique de la laïcité par le juge. Éléments de comparaison Belgique-France-Québec
Authors: Delgrange Xavier , Koussens David
Published: January 2021

Cet article propose un essai interprétatif des conditions par lesquelles le juge fabrique la laïcité, cela dans trois contextes nationaux : la Belgique, la France et le Québec. Sans nier l’important rôle du législateur, il développe l’idée selon laquelle la laïcité, dans toute sa concrétude, procède aussi et surtout d’un important travail d’interprétation par lequel les tribunaux, tantôt contribuent à préciser le contenu des principes laïques (séparation des Églises et de l’État ; neutralité ; liberté de conscience et de religion ; égalité) en dehors même de toute intervention du législateur à cet effet, tantôt contrôlent (et parfois censurent) le travail de ce dernier au nom de ces principes laïques.
L’engagement des Juifs de France dans les activités sportives (1900-1940) : entre héritage religieux et nécessités sociales
Authors: Pénard Étienne
Published: January 2021

Selon les textes religieux juifs, prendre soin de son corps est une nécessité. Le corps et l’esprit sont complémentaires. Pourtant, les Juifs de France se désintéressent des pratiques corporelles jusqu’à la première guerre mondiale. Les réalités sociales engendrent au contraire une mise à l’écart du corps et un éloignement du sport qui se développe en France. L’éducation juive est centrée sur le développement de l’esprit et les Juifs sont très peu représentés dans les métiers manuels, ce qui engendre un désintérêt pour les pratiques corporelles. Finalement, il existe un paradoxe entre les obligations bibliques et les réalités sociales. Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, le contexte dans lequel vivent les Juifs de France change radicalement. Confrontés à l’arrivée massive de coreligionnaires immigrés et à une nouvelle vague d’antisémitisme, les Juifs relancent progressivement les traditions judaïques. Convergent dès lors les nécessités sociales d’intégration des immigrés, de combat de l’antisémitisme, d’amélioration de la santé et de conquête d’Israël avec les obligations religieuses. Dans ce contexte, le sport va être investi d’une nouvelle mission et d’une nouvelle utilité. Il permet de combattre les préjugés en apportant santé et vitalité. Il sert aussi à tisser des liens sociaux tout en éduquant aux valeurs religieuses.
Insights to Identifying and Managing Pain in Persons With Dementia in Long-Term Care: A Mixed Methods Study Comparing the Abbey Pain Scale and Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scale
Authors: Parkman Suzanne , Mastel-Smith Beth , McGuire Anthony , Duke Gloria
Published: January 2021

Pain is usually identified by specific behaviors driven by the need for relief; however, persons with dementia present a unique challenge for nurses in assessing and managing pain. The aim of this mixed methods study was to explore the relationship between two observational pain scales, expressed need-driven behaviors, and likelihood of medication administration for persons with dementia. The qualitative strand examined nurses' perceptions regarding facilitators and barriers to pain scale use. Quantitative data analysis indicated the Abbey Pain Scale was significantly correlated with behaviors (
r
[26] = 0.41,
p
< 0.05) and approached significance with medication administration (
r
[26] = 0.35,
p
= 0.067). Qualitative analysis identified three core themes: (a)
Challenges in Assessing Persons With Dementia for Pain
; (b)
Facilitators and Barriers to Pain Management
; and (c)
Difficulty Caring for Persons With Dementia
. Clinical implications suggest the need for a systematic, consistent method of observing pain-related behaviors in persons with dementia. [

Health Care Professionals' Experiences as Family Caregivers During Intra-Hospital Transitions
Authors: Bristol Alycia A. , Martin-Plank Lorraine , Crist Janice D.
Published: January 2021

Family caregivers are often perceived as inexperienced family members assuming caregiving duties. However, health care professionals may also find themselves in an informal caregiving role as older adult relatives or friends are hospitalized and experience intra-hospital transitions. The purpose of the current study was to describe the experiences of health care professionals assuming the role of informal caregiver during intra-hospital transitions. As part of a larger study, a separate analysis of six semi-structured interviews from family caregivers with health care backgrounds was considered. Health care professionals as family caregivers (HCP-FCs) reported they sought inclusion in the care provided, they had unique insider perspectives, and experienced role struggle between health care professional and new informal caregiver. Moreover, HCP-FCs reported increased role struggle during interactions with colleagues and fellow health care professionals. Understanding of the role of HCP-FCs during transitions in care is necessary to develop interventions supportive of patient- and family-centered care. [

Authors: Esposito Evangelina , Knoll Erna , Guantay Carla , Gonzalez-Castellanos Alejandro , Miranda Alejandra , Barros Centeno Maria F. , Gomez Flores Martha , Urrets-Zavalia Julio A.
Published: January 2021

Purpose:

To evaluate whether a mathematical tool that predicts severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using clinical parameters at 6 weeks of life (ROPScore calculator smartphone application; PABEX Corporation) can be useful to predict severe ROP in a population of premature infants in Argentina.

Methods:

In this retrospective study, data from the clinical records of all premature infants examined between 2012 and 2018 in the ophthalmology department of a public third-level hospital in Córdoba, Argentina, were obtained. ROPScore screening was applied using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (Microsoft Corporation). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values of the algorithm were analyzed.

Results:

Between 2012 and 2018, a total of 2,894 pre-term infants were examined and 411 met the inclusion criteria, of whom 34% (n = 139) presented some form of ROP and 6% (n = 25) developed severe forms that required treatment. The sensitivity of the algorithm for any ROP and severe ROP was 100%. The PPV and NPV were 35.64% and 100%, respectively, for any ROP and 9.88% and 100% for severe ROP.

Conclusions:

One-time only calculation of the ROPScore algorithm could identify severe cases after validation, reducing the number of screened infants by 38% in infants with a birth weight of 1,500 g or less or a gestational age of 32 weeks or younger.

Two-agent integrated scheduling of production and distribution operations with fixed departure times
Authors: Zou Yunqing , Lin Zhengkui , Han Dongya , Cheng T. C. Edwin , Wu Chin-Chia
Published: January 2021

We consider integrated scheduling of production and distribution operations associated with two customers (agents). Each customer has a set of orders to be processed on the single production line at a supplier on a competitive basis. The finished orders of the same customer are then packed and delivered to the customer by a third-party logistics (3PL) provider with a limited number of delivery transporters. The number of orders carried in a delivery transporter cannot exceed its delivery capacity. Each transporter incurs a fixed delivery cost regardless of the number of orders it carries, and departs from the 3PL provider to a customer at fixed times. Each customer desires to minimise a certain optimality criterion involving simultaneously the customer service level and the total delivery cost for its orders only. The customer service level for a customer is related to the times when its orders are delivered to it. The problem is to determine a joint schedule of production and distribution to minimise the objective of one customer, while keeping the objective of the other customer at or below a predefined level. Using several optimality criteria to measure the customer service level, we obtain different scenarios that depend on optimality criterion of each customer. For each scenario, we either devise an efficient solution procedure to solve it or demonstrate that such a solution procedure is impossible to exist.

Authors: Omirzak Islam , Razumova Yuliya , Nikishina Svetlana
Published: January 2021

The present article was aimed at examining the promising capabilities of new generation mobile networks for the implementation of first-class online education based on advanced immersive technologies. The study described the main functional drivers of the modern end-to-end 5G architecture and proposed several options for their application in today’s socio-economic life. It was assumed that, in the long view, 5G could become a facilitator and a quickening agent of Industry 4.0 and SMART Education, giving way to machine learning and the realization of Machine-to-Machine/Man (M2M) and Device-to-Device (D2D) technologies. The article provided an argument that the ability to connect through the 5G network would allow innovative technological solutions to fully realize their potential and create the global telecommunications infrastructure of the digital economy. In order to investigate public opinion toward a 21st-century education and identify the prioritized requests for university training among potential students, a survey of the target audience in the business administration segment was conducted. It involved 100 MBA students of the Graduate School of Business of Kazan Federal University (Russia) and 200 business workers. Respondents were offered to choose the most relevant requirements for the education quality from among 50 proposed variants by determining their priority on a 100-point scale. The analysis of questionnaire results allowed identifying 20 consumer trends and requests in education, which are becoming more and more prioritized in the contemporary business environment. After reviewing the survey outcomes, it was concluded that the main competitive advantages of an educational course are its pace, convenience, and effectiveness in goal-achievement. The provision of these benefits can become possible due to the synthesis of 5G and other digital educational technologies. In view of this, the present work also presented the analysis of promising educational opportunities of 5G for creators of study materials and students.
Imagens que atravessam. Diáspora africana em performance.

Published: January 2021

Este artigo analisa como os artistas da diáspora africana no Brasil engajam com espaços institucionais de memória coletiva e com o mundo das artes em seus novos lares, e consideramos o que isso implica para as políticas da memória no Brasil e além. Descrevemos a parceria de produção de imagens e performances entre Shambuyi Wetu, artista congolês que vive em São Paulo, e nós, uma antropóloga brasileira e um britânico. Discutimos algumas questões colocadas no nosso encontro com os artistas da diáspora: Como histórias difíceis podem ser representadas, e quais as implicações de diferentes representações? O que é simplificado - e o que é complexificado - no questionamento transnacional de histórias racistas nacionais?

Fermented Soymilk (FSM), a protein rich beverage is highly prone to microbial contamination. Its preservation is therefore key to its availability and safety. Soymilk was prepared by aqueous extraction of soybeans and allowed to ferment spontaneously. Samples of FSM were treated with leaf essential oil of Hoslundia opposita (LEOHO) at 5% and 10% (v/v) and stored at ambient temperature. The organoleptic, pH and microbiological qualities of the samples were evaluated periodically during storage. The protein content was significantly (p

Dall’analisi della letteratura attuale emerge il fatto che non ci siano studi epidemiologici che coinvolgano pazienti con lesioni cutanee croniche nella regione Sardegna. Si è voluto perciò analizzare ed elaborare dei dati a tal proposito per ottenere dei valori sul numero dei pazienti con lesioni cutanee nelle Cure Domiciliari della Provincia di Sassari ma anche per capire quali fossero le problematiche dei vari professionisti sanitari nel gestire tale tipologia di paziente. Per la rilevazione dei dati è stato utilizzato uno strumento unico somministrato agli infermieri del territorio, dove è emersa un’alta percentuale di pazienti con lesioni cutanee croniche e si è riscontrata la necessità di uno specialista in Wound Care. Per la prima volta sono stati ottenuti dati numericamente rilevanti per la regione Sardegna.
Esiste un'alternativa alla matrice dermica acellulare per la gestione delle ferite? Rivisitazione del ruolo di una medicazione bioattiva a base di collagene e acido ialuronico
Authors: Torresetti Matteo , Di Benedetto Giovanni , Scalise Alessandro
Published: January 2021

La guarigione delle ferite è un processo complesso che coinvolge molte interazioni sinergiche tra diverse linee cellulari, citochine, enzimi e fattori di crescita. Negli ultimi anni sono stati introdotti diversi biomateriali e medicazioni bioattive che si ritiene svolgano un ruolo attivo nella guarigione delle ferite. Sia il collagene che l’Acido Ialuronico (AI) sono stati ampiamente adottati per la gestione delle ferite e la sua combinazione, utilizzata come medicazione bioattiva, è stata studiata. Abbiamo riportato la nostra esperienza clinica con una medicazione avanzata composta da AI più collagene eterologo di tipo I applicato su ferite acute e croniche di diversa eziologia in una coorte retrospettiva di 30 pazienti. Tutti i pazienti inclusi avevano ferite cutanee portate a guarigione completa per seconda intenzione, e tutte le ferite sono state trattate utilizzando Bionect Pad® (BP). Se necessario, alcuni casi sono stati gestiti con trattamenti combinati al fine di ottenere un’adeguata preparazione del letto della ferita prima dell’applicazione di BP. Trenta pazienti con età media di 60,2 anni sono stati trattati per ferite di diversa eziologia. La tipologia di ferite trattate includeva ulcere venose, ferite post-traumatiche, complicanze di ferite chirurgiche, lesioni da decubito, ustioni, ulcerazioni peristomali e ulcerazioni cutanee dopo radioterapia. Il tempo medio di guarigione è stato di 31 giorni (range: 21-76 giorni). Sulla base dei nostri risultati incoraggianti, riteniamo che tali medicazioni bioattive possano essere considerate un’alternativa utile e affidabile ad altri metodi di trattamento ben noti e consolidati, come le matrici dermiche acellulari o altre medicazioni avanzate, in casi selezionati.

Published: January 2021

Background

The socio-psychological impact of COVID-19 has affected the whole world. Bangladesh, one of the most dangerous places as stated by WHO, was first infected at the beginning of March 2020, later than other countries. Bangladesh is now one of the 20 most affected countries in the world, but the psychological effects for university students during the epidemic period are not researched.

Design and methods

To address this gap, the present study attempts to discover the socio-psychological impact of COVID-19 on university students in Bangladesh. We conducted an online survey using a questionnaire with a simple random sampling technique and we received 474 responses.

Results

In this study, numerous psychological concerns were reported. The study is limited to university students, which may affect the generalizability of the research.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest a need to build awareness of the mental health implications of the pandemic for university students.

Authors: Rather Yasir Hassan , Bhat Fazle Roub , Malla Altaf Ahmad , Zahoor Marya , Ali Massodi Peerzada Ayash , Yousuf Saleem
Published: January 2021

Background:

Kashmir has been at the centre of conflict between India and Pakistan after partition of erstwhile British India in 1947. While research suggests that conflict exposure may result in increased substance use, the prevalence of substance use disorders has remained an under-searched area in Kashmir.

Method:

We employed respondent-driven sampling (RDS) for recruiting substance users from two districts of Kashmir. Estimation of substance dependence was done using benchmarkmultiplier method.

Results:

Prevalence of any substance dependence was estimated to be 1.95% while as for any opioids, it was 1.80%. Heroin was the most common opioid with last year use by 84.33% respondents. Current prevalence of injection drug use was 0.95% and heroin was the most common opioid among Injection Drug User (IDU), being used by 91.12% IDUs followed by Pentazocine (5.92%).

Conclusion:

Our results indicate that RDS was a feasible and acceptable sampling method for recruiting 'difficult to reach 'participants like illicit substance users including IDUs. Our results further demonstrate that opioids are highly prevalent in Kashmir and heroin injection is not uncommon. All these findings call for attention from policy makers as opioids are one of the important contributors to mortality and morbidity related to substances.
Knowledge of standard precautions among healthcare professionals at a Teaching Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan

Published: January 2021

Background and Aim:

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are infections acquired by patients during their hospital stay which they did not have previously. This also includes infections acquired by healthcare professionals while managing infected patients. Since both healthcare professionals and patients can be a source of spreading infections across there is a need of practicing standard precautions religiously, to minimize this risk. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of healthcare professionals working at The Indus Hospital, a tertiary care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan.

Material and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2017 and July 2018. 205 employees working at The Indus Hospital, Karachi were recruited in this study. A self-made questionnaire based on CDC guidelines was administered to the participants and their responses were recorded.

Results:

Among all participants, nearly two-thirds (70%) had a very good knowledge of the use of standard precautions, 19.5% had good knowledge, and 12.2% had average/below average knowledge. Of those having very good knowledge, most of them were doctors (60%). Older age groups had more knowledge than the younger age groups.

Conclusion:

Our study concluded that among different healthcare workers, the nurses had less knowledge as compared to doctors. There was a significant association found between the age of the healthcare professionals and the information he/she has on the standard precautions. Improving the knowledge of doctors and nurses would help in breaking the chain of nosocomial infections and will decrease the burden of infectious diseases on our society.

Published: January 2021

This study involved isolation of bioflocculant producing bacteria from soil and waste water. The isolates were tested for flocculation activities and  those deemed fit were identified and the optimal environmental conditions for bioflocculant production were also determined. Samples were collected from oil-contaminated soil in Redeemer's University and fermented maize waste water. Microbial isolation was done using standardmicrobiological methods and identification was done using morphology, biochemical and molecular method with universal primer for 16SrRNA gene. Environmental conditions (pH, Temperature and cations) and media composition (nitrogen and carbon sources) were altered to optimize bioflocculant production and activities. Percentage flocculating activities were determined and calculated using standard method. We also adjustedrevolution rate and standing time to determine the optimum conditions for flocculation activities. Two bioflocculant producing isolates (Bacillus cereus and Lysinibacillus fusiformis) from oil-polluted soil and two from fermented maize waste water (Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus tropicus) were obtained. Neutral pH, temperature o of 30 C and inclusion of CaCl were the best conditions for bioflocculant production in all isolates except for 2 Lysinibacillus fusiformis which was best with acidic pH condition. Maltose as the carbon source was the best for all isolates except Bacillus  thuringiensis (fructose) and ammonium was the best nitrogen source for all isolates except Bacillus cereus (peptone). Although condition III showed optimum condition for flocculation activities, the percentage activities were generally lower than normal condition. The highest percentage flocculating activities o of 98% were by Bacillus cereus and Bacillus tropicus at 30 C, neutral pH and 1% (w/v) CaCl salt with soluble starch 2 and maltose as their carbon source respectively. These bacteria can be exploited for their use as flocculants in water treatment.

Published: January 2021

Calliandra portoricensis is a plant widely used in Nigerian ethnomedicine for the treatment of tuberculosis and other respiratory conditions. In view of its traditional use, the present study is aimed at the isolation and identification of bioactive components or secondary metabolites which may be responsible for its biological activity. The air dried roots was extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate and then methanol via maceration at roomtemperature. Repeated column chromatography of the ethyl acetate extract over silica gel yielded linalonic acid, spinasterone, lupeol, daucosterol and triacontanyl caffeate. The structures of these compounds were determined by NMR, mass spectrometry and comparison with literature. This is an initial report of these compounds from the plant material.
