Effects of sucrose and trehalose on growth and development of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) on two Dendrobium cultivars under different lights
Authors: Alam M. M. , Shimasaki K. , Meskatul A. M.
Published: December 2020

The objective of this study was to identify effective carbon sources for the in vitro propagation of PLBs in Dendrobium cultivars Dendrobium kingianum ‘Hallelujah’ and Dendrobium k. Jonathan’s Glory ‘Dark Joy’. In this study, we used two types of carbon sources to culture the cultivars under five different LED lights. For, both carbon sources the highest numbers of PLBs were obtained with the green LEDs compared with the other LED lights. For Dendrobium kingianum ‘Hallelujah’ the trehalose supplemented medium produced the highest number of PLBs (13.8/explant) and the maximum fresh weight (0.45g/explant) under green LEDs. On the other hand, for Dendrobium k. Jonathan’s Glory ‘Dark Joy’, the sucrose supplemented medium produced the highest number of PLBs under green LED (8.0/explant, fresh weight 0.22g/explants) and the trehalose supplemented medium produced the maximum number of PLBs under white LEDs (8.1/explants, fresh weight 0.23g/explants). The sucrose was the most relevant carbon source for the in vitro organogenesis of Dendrobium k. Jonathan’s Glory ‘Dark Joy’, while trehalose was best under white LEDs.
Corrective Feedback and Multimodality: Rethinking Categories in Telecollaborative Learning
Authors: Freschi Ana , Cavalari Suzi
Published: December 2020

Teletandem (Telles, 2009) is a model of telecollaboration in which pairs of foreign language students from different countries meet regularly and virtually to learn each other’s languages. Within this context, participants are expected to help their partners learn by providing feedback. The multimodal nature of this type of environment, however, may offer different learning opportunities (Guichon & Cohen, 2016) and have an impact on feedback provision. This research aims at investigating peer corrective feedback in Teletandem in relation to the different modes. Using a case study approach, we describe how three Brazilians offered feedback to learners of Portuguese as a foreign language. Data used came from 20 Teletandem oral sessions that took place over a period of three years and were stored in MulTeC (Aranha & Lopes, 2019). Data analysis revealed that CF provision is characterized by reformulations, with a blurred distinction between recasts and explicit corrections due to a combination of multimodal strategies. Results also indicate that error correction may be more (or less) emphasized depending on how interlocutors combine multimodal resources. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

Teletandem (Telles, 2009) est un modèle de télécollaboration par lequel des paires d’étudiants de langue étrangère originaires de différents pays se rencontrent régulièrement de façon virtuelle pour apprendre les langues des uns des autres. Dans ce contexte, on s’attend à ce que les participants aident leur partenaire à apprendre en leur fournissant de la rétroaction. La nature multimodale de ce type d’environnement peut, cependant, offrir diverses occasions d’apprentissage (Guichon & Cohen, 2016) et influencer la façon dont la rétroaction est fournie. Le but de cette recherche est d’étudier la rétroaction corrective par les pairs dans Teletandem par rapport aux différents modes. En se servant d’une approche par étude de cas, nous décrivons comment trois Brésiliens ont offert de la rétroaction à des apprenants de portugais langue étrangère. Les données utilisées venaient de 20 sessions orales de Teletandem qui s’étaient déroulées sur une période de trois ans et ont été stockées sur MulTeC (Aranha & Lopes, 2019). L’analyse des données a révélé que la fourniture de rétroaction corrective se caractérise par des reformulations, qui ne distinguent pas très bien entre des refontes et des corrections explicites, ce qui est dû à une combinaison de stratégies multimodales. Les résultats indiquent également que la correction des erreurs peut être plus ou moins soulignée selon la façon dont les interlocuteurs combinent les ressources multimodales. On discute des implications pédagogiques.

Authors: Beth Kuehn Mary , Grosch Mendes Carlos M. , Fukunaga Luna Victoria Genesis M. , Nemetz Erin , Rigos Zyreel Claire P.
Published: December 2020

Background: Currently, about 40 million people in the United States live in poverty, one of the most significant social determinants of health. Nurses and social workers must understand the effect of living in poverty on their clients ‘health and quality of life. Purpose: Nurses and social workers will encounter persons living in poverty. Therefore, beginning in their undergraduate education, health professions students must be aware of their attitudes towards poverty and how poverty affects health. Methods: The Community Action Poverty Simulation was conducted with nursing and social work students at a small liberal arts institution. The Attitudes toward Poverty-Short Form (ATP-SF) and Beliefs Related to Poverty and Health (BRPH) tools were used pre- and postsimulation to assess students ‘attitudes about poverty and beliefs about the relationship between poverty and health. An emotional response plan was created to address participants ‘emotional responses by providing a separate space on-site and information about future resources. Results: The ATP-SF showed a significant overall difference (p < .001) between pre- and postsimulation surveys, indicating a shift toward a structural explanation of poverty; the BRPH showed that participants believed poverty is the result of illness and inability to work (p < .01). Conclusion: This study supports poverty simulation use to promote awareness of attitudes towards those living in poverty and how poverty impacts health. Recommendations include using more community resource volunteers with first-hand poverty experience, allowing students to role-play adults or older teens in the simulation, and including other health professions students.
Building Nurses ‘Resilience to Trauma through Contemplative Practices
Authors: Fiske Elizabeth , Martin Sarah , Luetkemeyer Jennifer
Published: December 2020

Nurses can benefit from strategies that build resilience to counterbalance trauma exposures. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adverse community environments are common; nurses frequently encounter trauma victims and hear trauma narratives in most care settings. Having skills to manage the triggers present in health-care environments is essential. Contemplative practices can help to meet these needs. Breathing exercises can be used as needed throughout the work day; gratitude practices are simple but powerful; and visual journaling can help nurses process experiences. These practices are easy to implement and can profoundly affect health outcomes for nurses.

Qualifications for Rehabilitation Counselors: A Social Justice Issue
Authors: Aliff Michelle , Sprong Matthew E.
Published: December 2020

The importance of qualifications for vocational experts serving in the Social Security Administration is an issue that gained national importance recently. Prior to the most recent awarded contract the required qualifications were not appropriate and had little resemblance to the requirements in other venues vocational experts provide testimony in. This article addresses the journey that the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals (IARP) Social Security Vocational Experts section took to influence and ultimately were successful in having the Social Security Administration to primarily adopt the qualifications listed in the IARP SSVE White Paper. Finally, in order to maintain achievements and continue advancing, it is essential to remain persistent in continuing to engage in governmental relations.
“It's Mainly the Fear of Getting Hurt”: Experiences of LGBT Individuals with the Healthcare System in Lebanon
Authors: Abboud Sarah , Naal Hady , Chahine Amanda , Taha Samy , Harfouch Omar , Mahmoud Hossam
Published: December 2020

LGBT people face significant discrimination, social pressures, and legal challenges in Lebanon, yet little is known about their experiences with the healthcare system. We conducted a secondary data analysis study using a qualitative descriptive design and data from the parent project, LebGuide (2016–2017). The data consisted of de-identified one-on-one interviews with 13 LGBT individuals and seven community-based organizations (CBOs). Data were analyzed using content analysis. Themes related to LGBT individuals’ healthcare experiences overlapped between the two groups of participants (LGBT participants and CBO participants) and centered around: anticipation of discrimination, experiences with healthcare providers, experiences with healthcare systems, transgender-specific experiences, and role of CBOs. This study highlights the need for LGBT-inclusive curricula in healthcare educational and training programs. Since most positive healthcare experiences reported by participants were at CBOs, it is important for CBOs to partner with healthcare institutions to introduce an LGBT-affirming culture into the healthcare workplace and the institutional culture of healthcare facilities and systems.
Assessing the Need for Ecotourism Cluster Establishment in Georgia: Ways to Increase the Countryâ€™s Competitiveness
Authors: Khakhishvili Tamar
Published: December 2020

Georgia is famous for wine, hospitality, culture, and history at the international level. Before now, tourism in Georgia was only related to wine tourism and sea resorts, but in recent years, the country is positioning itself as an emerging destination for adventurous tourism. Industry potential is not fully utilized and it has more hidden possibilities to attract more visitors. This paper focuses on assessing the need for ecotourism cluster establishment in Georgia. In fulfilling this objective, a survey was conducted. Questionnaires were distributed to ecotourism service providers of the country. 54 managers of national parks and other protected areas (Lagodekhi Protected Areas, Kazbegi National Park, Martvili Canyon Natural Monument, Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park and Machakhela National Park) were chosen for the survey. The selected respondents are the managers of the most popular ecotourism destinations among Georgian and foreign ecoturists. Due to the various locations in different parts of Georgia, it took about two weeks to conduct the survey. The results of the survey showed that ecotourism industry representatives agree on the need of cluster establishment for more development of the field. The paper also demonstrated that building promising ecotourism industry through strong cluster development is directly related to increasing the countryâ€™s competitiveness.

Lâ€™objectif de cette Ã©tude est de mettre en Ã©vidence, la variabilitÃ© dans les sÃ©ries pluviomÃ©triques de la rÃ©gion de Katiola, situÃ©e au nord de la CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire. Pour ce faire, des donnÃ©es de pluviomÃ©trie couvrant la pÃ©riode de 1949 Ã  2013 ont Ã©tÃ© utilisÃ©es. La mÃ©thodologie adoptÃ©e est basÃ©e sur le calcul de lâ€™indice pluviomÃ©trique de Nicholson, et des tests statistiques de dÃ©tection des ruptures et tendance (test de Pettitt, test de tendance de Mannâ€“Kendall). Les rÃ©sultats obtenus indiquent que sur la pÃ©riode dÃ©terminÃ©e, les hauteurs pluviomÃ©triques annuelles oscillent entre 550 et 2000 mm avec une valeur moyenne annuelle dâ€™environ 1107 mm. Lâ€™analyse du graphe de variation de lâ€™indice pluviomÃ©trique de Nicholson, met en Ã©vidence lâ€™existence de deux sous-pÃ©riodes. Dâ€™une part, une sous-pÃ©riode humide de 1949 Ã  1968 avec un excÃ©dent pluviomÃ©trique de 13,16% par rapport Ã  la moyenne et dâ€™autre part, une sous-pÃ©riode sÃ¨che de 1969 Ã  2013, marquÃ©e par les indices pluviomÃ©triques les plus nÃ©gatifs avec un dÃ©ficit de 7,13%. La MÃ©thode du test statistique de Pettitt appliquÃ©e Ã  la sÃ©rie chronologique rÃ©vÃ¨le une rupture Ã  partir de lâ€™annÃ©e 1968. Les rÃ©sultats obtenus confirment donc lâ€™existence de variabilitÃ© et de rupture dans les sÃ©ries pluviomÃ©triques de la rÃ©gion de Katiola depuis la fin des annÃ©es 1960.
The aim of this study is to highlight variability and breaks in the rainfall series from Katiola region located in the North part of CÃ´te d'Ivoire. For the purposes of this study, rainfall data during 1946 to 2013 period were used. The methodology is based on the calculation of Nicholsonâ€™s rainfall index and statistical tests of breaks detected and for trend (Pettittâ€™s test and Mann Kendallâ€™s test). The results obtained indicate that annual rainfall height varied between 550 and 2000 mm with a mean value of 1107 mm. Analysis of the variation curve of the pluviometry index shows two sub-periods, a wet sub-period from 1949 to 1968 with a rainfall excess of 13.16% compared to the average, and a dry sub-period from 1969 to 2013 with most negative rainfall index and a deficit 7.13%. Pettitt statistical tests applied to rainfall time series reveals a break from the year 1968 onwards. The results obtained confirm the existence of variability and break in rainfall series from Katiola region, since the end of 1960s year.

Published: December 2020

Ante la pandemia por covid-19 pasamos inesperadamente a una educación remota de emergencia [ERE] mediada por el uso de TIC. En este contexto, desde el paradigma interpretativo, realizamos una investigación de carácter descriptivo para dar cuenta de las percepciones sobre el aprendizaje, de estudiantes universitarios del área de ciencias en una asignatura de carácter práctico —Laboratorio de Microbiología Experimental—, al pasar de una educación presencial a una ERE. Con un enfoque metodológico mixto, se diseñó y se validó un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas y abiertas, que fue resuelto por 56 estudiantes. Se utilizaron dos ejes analíticos: uno de carácter contextual y otro conceptual, para lo cual se realizó un análisis de contenido tanto cuantitativodescriptivo como cualitativocomprensivo. Los resultados muestran que más del 50 % percibe que no se lograron los objetivos de la asignatura y que aprendieron menos. El 80 % considera que la comunicación con los docentes fue buena. El espectro conceptual predominante del alumnado es tradicionalista. Por lo anterior, se concluye la importancia de trabajar con las TIC desde una perspectiva constructivista, en el marco de una “nueva visión de la ciencia”.

The Depiction and Ethic of Pride in the Work of Countee Cullen
Authors: Pomeroy Jeremy
Published: December 2020

Countee Cullen’s literary oeuvre emerged in a cultural context wherein Harlemite leaders took pride in an emerging intellectual and literary vanguard. Interestingly, Cullen’s work foregrounds many of the negative aspects of both personal and group pride. Pride for Cullen is typically unnatural, a compensatory excrescence to be shed or managed; this corresponds more closely to a Christian than to a pagan ethos of pride. As regards pride in one’s group identity, although readings of Cullen in terms of gay pride would be anachronistic, he deliberately treats the topic of racial pride—particularly in his novel One Way to Heaven, wherein pride figures a structurally integral leitmotif.
The Practice of Classroom Code-Switching, Translanguaging or Simply Alternating Languages in FL Teacher Talk
Authors: Gabryś-Barker Danuta
Published: December 2020

Alternating between languages in an FL classroom is first of all observed in teacher talk which is an important dimension of FL teachers’ discourse. (Tsui 2008). The empirical study presented here focuses on the language choices made between the L1 and FL(s) by both in-service teachers (group 1) and pre-service trainees (group 2) during English lessons—but it is not meant to be an in-depth debate on L1/FL use in a language classroom. It is a small-scale diagnostic study of a FL classroom and TT behaviour of the subjects. The text starts with a brief presentation of the concepts of code-switching and translanguaging, as applied in educational contexts and here operationalized for the purposes of a pilot study on language choices in teacher talk. The observations of EFL lessons focus on the purpose(s) language alterations are made by the teachers and seek to reflect on the extent to which these purposes refer to clearly-defined instructional functions—cognitive but also affective ones. These language choices made also constitute an important pedagogical dimension beyond language instruction itself. The results of the study show that both experienced and trainee teachers switch languages consciously during the lesson at similar stages and for similar purposes, however some differences are also observed and discussed in the text. The major focus of discussion is on the pre-service teachers, as the study is part of awareness raising, and thus reflectivity enhancement of trainees participating in their teacher training at the undergraduate level (BA) but who are already active teachers in the period of their school placement.
Wonder—through Aesthetics and Environmentalism to Politics
Authors: Lisowska Urszula
Published: December 2020

The paper offers a contribution to the political account of wonder. The rationale for addressing this problem is provided by Hannah Arendt’s observations on the paradoxical relationship between wonder and politics—wonder appears here as both essential and indispensable to politics as the realm of opinions (doxai). This quandary corresponds to two common-sense uses of the term “wonder”—as an emotion and as an act of judging. It is argued that the political interpretation of wonder should link these two poles. Drawing on Martha Nussbaum’s account of wonder and its reformulation developed by Jeremy Bendik-Keymer, the paper offers such a synthesis by emphasising the environmental and aesthetic dimensions of the concept.
Gebirgs-Wege: Alpen- und Tatra- Impressionen in der polnischen Literatur des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Burghardt Anja
Published: December 2020

The author of the article analyses travelogues associated with the Alps and the Tatras by Polish nineteenth-century writers. She seeks to demonstrate the extent to which both the Alps and the Tatras — often appearing in Polish literature as a clear motif or theme — were idealised. The main source material analysed by the author comprises works by Juliusz Słowacki, Seweryn Goszczyński, Adam Asnyk, Maria Konopnicka, Bolesław Prus and Jan Kasprowicz. In her analysis the author stresses the interpretation of aquatic motifs associated with the mountain landscape, particularly lakes, which often seem to link the mountains to the sky. A comparison of the various ways of presenting the mountain landscape in works by Polish authors originating in various literary periods has revealed a range of literary idealisation processes.
„Tańczą góralczyki” i śpiewają. Idealizacja górali podhalańskich w wybranych realizacjach literacko-muzycznych XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Łoboz Małgorzata
Published: December 2020

The article is an attempt to describe various manifestations of highland folklore in selected literary-musical works, including fragment XV of Wincenty Pol’s 1847 poetic cycle Obrazy z podróży [Images from a Journey] to which music was composed by Adam Münchheimer. It could evenb be said that if Pol expressed in the poem an uncritical idealisation of highland folklore (it is worth noting the visual beauty of the protagonists of this vitalistic dance), Münchheimer took this idealisation even further. Writing the song to be performed by a baritone and male choir, he deprived it of the primeval austerity and uncontrollable dynamics of highlanders’ dance. An important item in the Polish operatic repertoire is Stanisław Moniuszko’s Halka (premiered in 1858), composed to a libretto by Włodzimierz Wolski. Hugely important to the narrative of the work is the fact that Halka is a highland girl and that the action takes place in the village of Odrowąż (probably on the border with Orawa). Scholars agree that there is no real highland folklore in Halka (Moniuszko had never been to the Tatras!); instead, we have an uncritical idealisation of highlanders manifested in a clear axiological division into positive and negative protagonists. In the case of the most popular ballet idealising highland folklore, i.e. Karol Szymanowski’s Harnasie (composed between 1823 and 1831 to a script by Jerzy and Helena Rytard), its stage productions took on various forms, from a faithful reconstruction of highland folklore, to stylisation, from modest sets to colourful spectacle, from a vividly portrayed dramatic conflict to a subtle narrative in which dance became the main means of expression.In the case of the most popular ballet idealising highland folklore, i.e. Karol Szymanowski’s Harnasie (composed between 1823 and 1831 to a script by Jerzy and Helena Rytard), its stage productions took on various forms, from a faithful reconstruction of highland folklore, to stylisation, from modest sets to colourful spectacle, from a vividly portrayed dramatic conflict to a subtle narrative in which dance became the main means of expression.
Obraz gór w kobiecych narracjach o Tatrach do 1939 roku
Authors: Pigoń Anna
Published: December 2020

Women’s narratives from before 1939 constitute a small part of the entire literature dealing with the Tatras. Many of them have been forgotten owing to their limited artistic value as well as limited contribution to the development of literary culture in the Podhale region. An important and often dominant feature of women’s narratives concerning the Tatras is idealisation of the mountains.

The article focuses on the idealistic image of the Tatras created by female writers before 1939. The basic research method adopted by the author is geocriticism, which provides for the creation of a typology of female writers based on their links to geographic space. In the case of Tatra narratives, the female writers can be divided into highland women (indigenous inhabitants), guests (women staying in the Podhale region temporarily) and residents (non-indigenous inhabitants).

Each of these groups sees the Tatras slightly differently and idealises them in a slightly different manner. The way female writers see the mountains is sometimes uniquely escapist (which is associated with the treatment of Podhale as a land of childhood years and concerns mainly the indigenous inhabitants of the region); is connected with the category of stereotype, which stems from a common, superficial perception of the mountains (this, in turn, is the domain of guest writers); thirdly — idealisation is a form of a demand.The author of the article discusses the various groups of female writers and the idealising devices they use in their works. The works analysed by the author include those by Gea Dobrzańska, Aniela Gut-Stapińska, Zofia Urbanowska and Gabriela Zapolska.
„W górach jest wszystko, co kocham” — wyidealizowany obraz gór w materiałach promocyjnych i jego wpływ na odbiorców
Authors: Nowicka Dorota
Published: December 2020

The article examines the constantly evolving marketing strategies aimed at promoting a specific mountain region, at the same time contributing to a growth of tourism as well as increased demand for specialist mountaineering equipment. From advertising leaflets and posters, through advertisements of mountain shops to internet campaigns — the sphere of action of marketing consultants constantly assumes new forms. The objective is to consolidate love for the mountains among people who have been engaged in trekking or climbing for years and at the same time to encourage those who so far have shown no interest in this form of leisure. Mountaineering becomes an activity attracting new kinds of tourists, for example families with small children who are wooed by shops selling hiking clothing and shoes. Thus the author of the article explores the risks associated with too idealistic advertising of equipment as well as the changing tastes of tourists when it comes to clothing, and the preparation for a trip to the mountains. She also devotes a lot of attention to nature protection campaigns conducted by Polish and foreign national parks. Such actions support awareness raising not only among tourists, but also among drivers and hunters, with the analysed promotional material and new media becoming the main tool to promote the relevant content.
Uwagi o ontologii i estetyce drogi wspinaczkowej
Authors: Kolbuszewski Jacek
Published: December 2020

If a route is understood to be a selected or marked sequence of places within a given space, the term can also encompass a climbing route, which is a sequence of places in the mountains, on a rock, ice wall or arête through which we can reach a specific destination — in the case of climbing it is usually the top of a mountain or an element in the structure of a mountain that stands out. Thus a route is an order of the places through which a climber is pursuing his or her goal — a top or an arête. In the physical sense this route, blended in the mountain landscape, does not exist, although it can be marked by a painted trail, small mounds, but not ladders and stairs, because these are elements of a route existing in the physical sense, while a climbing route is an intentional, virtual being existing only in the climber’s mind, first as a project of traversing a given rock formation, obviously large enough, i.e. requiring movement in this space, and then as the above mention order (sequence) of places — rock formations, from large to the smallest ones (grip). Not existing physically in reality (a designated fragment of space to move from place to place), a climbing route appears as a man-designed imagined line, a sequence of places marking the direction in which to move. The real sense of the existence of a route lies in its use: a route is alive, when there is movement on it — in this case mountain climbing.
Krkonoše jako ideální horská krajina na konci 18. a počátku 19. století
Authors: Faktorová Veronika
Published: December 2020

At the end of the 18th century, the new idea of the mountain landscape as an ideal and beautiful landscape emerged in Central Europe. This cultural process was conditioned by the contemporary aesthetic concepts of the Sublime and the Picturesque, related to the development of a new cultural and social practice of education of the eye (described in the book of Peter De Bolla The Education of the Eye: Painting, Landscape, and Architecture in Eighteenth Century Britain, 2003).

Authors: Ramos Sofia , Fernandes Ana Sofia , Saraiva Nuno
Published: December 2020

The development of genomics and transcriptomics and the potential associated with sharing data related with cancer, led to a growing understanding of cancer biology and to the identification of new biomarkers. Analysis of tumor gene expression and associated patient survival rate enables the dissection of the impact of certain genes in cancer patient ́s survival. For that purpose, it is essential to choose user-friendly platforms, where it is easy to analyze, compare and collect information for a certain set of genes. The goal of this article is to compare the content and utility of five open access online platforms for tumor gene expression and patient survival analysis from TCGA datasets – cBioPortal, USCS Xena, GEPIA, UALCAN and ONCOLNC. We explore these platforms from the point of view of a lay user, assessing their applicability to study differences in gene expression in tumor vs normal tissues, or according to cancer stage, and the impact of such expression patterns on patient survival. Although all five platforms are very intuitive and access to the data is easy, they vary in the information available, results visualization, and statistical tests performed. Therefore, the choice of a platform must take into account the study goals. For some purposes, a combination of platforms may be required.
A regimes-of-mobility-and-welfare approach: The impact of migration and welfare policies on transnational social support networks of older migrants in Australia
Authors: Brandhorst Rosa
Published: December 2020

In this paper, I examine the implications of welfare and migration policies on transnational aged care arrangements of older migrants in Australia. The paper draws on the results of an ethnographical, biographical and network analytical study of transnational social support networks of older migrants in Perth. I present the developed typology of older migrants and their possibilities of transnational care through three case studies that exemplify each type, namely 'retirement migrant by choice', 'financial obstacles of traditional labour migrants', and 'mobility and welfare regime restrictions of refugees'. The case studies show, first, that the maintenance of social ties across national borders through which different forms of care are organised is constrained by the Australian mobility regime, where temporary migration schemes prevail and migration policies are increasingly restrictive. Second, transnational social support is affected by a welfare regime that is increasingly linked to the mobility regime, as the rights to social welfare and long-term care are often linked to citizenship. Third, inequalities in the possibilities of transnational care and inaccess to mobility are linked to migrants’ legal and socioeconomic status in the country of settlement and the position of their country of origin in the global geopolitical hierarchy. Based on these findings, I propose a 'regimes-of-mobility-and-welfare' approach for the study of transnational social support and family care, which considers the effects of ‘sedentary’ policies and the intertwinement of mobility and welfare regimes.

Background: The most common opportunistic infection obtained in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is Oral Candidiasis (OC). Currently widely reported about increased fluconazole resistance, as a therapy that is often used in patients with HIV/AIDS with OC. For this reason, effective antifungal agents are needed as alternative therapies. Several studies have reported some antifungal activity from rosemary essential oils. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antifungal activity between rosemary essential oils and fluconazole against the isolates used by Candida sp. taken from HIV / AIDS patients with OC. Methods: This research was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test only design of 40 Candida sp. isolates from HIV / AIDS patients with OC in the Outpatient Unit and Inpatient Installation of the Infectious Disease Intermediate Care Unit (UPIPI) Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital, Surabaya. Examination of antifungal activity using conventional test methods with disk diffusion. Result: Disk diffusion test result revealed average inhibition zone of rosemary essential oil in Candida albicans 1,75±3,64 mm and Candida non-albicans 1,5±3,08 mm, while the average inhibition zone of fluconazole in Candida albicans 17,9±8,62 mm and Candida non-albicans 4,85±7,9 mm. There was significant difference (p <0.001) between the inhibition zone formed in Candida albicans by fluconazole and rosemary essential oil, but no significant difference of inhibition zone formed in Candida non-albicans. Conclusion: Antifungal activity fluconazole has greater than Rosemary essential oils in Candida albicans.

Background: Oral candidiasis is the most common clinical manifestation in a person infected with HIV which has been linked with the severity of the disease. Candida albicans responsible for most oral candidiasis. The increased resistance to the available antifungal drugs can reduce the efficacy of therapy. Therefore, it will be crucial to discover novel antifungal agents. One of them is tea tree oil (TTO) or Melaleuca alternifolia which has a potent antifungal effect to inhibit the growth of Candida sp.  Purpose: To evaluate the antifungal susceptibility of TTO 5% compared with nystatin against Candida sp. taken from HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: The study assessed the antifungal effect of TTO 5% and nystatin against 33 isolates of Candida sp. that was isolated from the oral cavity of 30 HIV/AIDS patients in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Antifungal susceptibility was evaluated by the disc diffusion method. The diameter of the inhibition zone was determined as the result of this study. Result: The most strains found in this study was Candida albicans (84.8%). The mean inhibition zone of nystatin against all strains was 23.24 mm whether it was 17.55 mm for TTO 5%. The inhibition zone of both TTO 5% and nystatin in Candida non-albicans were tended to be higher than in Candida albicans. It revealed that the inhibition zone of TTO 5% significantly lower than nystatin (P = 0.00; P < 0.05).Conclusion: Therefore, the antifungal susceptibility of nystatin was significantly higher than TTO 5% against Candida albicans and non-albicans.

Authors: Setyowatie Lita , Hidayah Noor
Published: December 2020

Background: Condylomata accuminata (CA) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which has more than 40 subtypes classified into high and low risks. The incidence of coinfection involving HPVs in genitalia varies between 2%–71%. Coinfection events increase in immunosuppressed patients. Purpose: To know the types of HPV in CA lesions and the risk factors of a high and low-risk HPV coinfection. Case: A 45-year-old woman presented with genital warts appeared three weeks before. The patient had a breast cancer history and undergone chemotherapy. The examination revealed multiple papules with verrucous surface, firm borders, with whitish color around the urethra and on the vaginal wall. Acetowhite test was positive. The biopsy examination showed squamous epithelium arranged to form papils and foci suspected as koilocytes suggesting CA. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) rapid test, VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) and TPHA (Treponema Pallidum Haemagglutination) examinations showed non-reactive results. The HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genotyping test showed positive results for HPV type 56 (High-Risk Genotypes) and HPV type 6 (Low-Risk Genotypes). She was treated with electrosurgery and consulted to the urology department. Discussion: Coinfection of HPVs might cause a persistent HPV infection for a longer duration, as well as the risk of developing into cancerous lesion. The mechanism of high-risk and low-risk HPV coinfection in immunosuppressed individuals might be due to faster replication of the virus or reactivation of a latent infection. Conclusion: Coinfection of 2 types of HPV could happen in immunosuppression condition such as in patient undergone chemotherapy.

Published: December 2020

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) of which attacking various organs particularly the lungs. Tuberculosis can occur together with malignancy or manifest as malignancy. Lung tuberculosis may appear in a variety of clinical and radiological manifestations caused by other diseases including tumors. These tumors are called pseudo-tumors. TB pseudo-tumor is a rare manifestation that can occur in immunocompetent patients in both primary and post-primary TB. The clinical presentation of TB pseudo-tumor is nonspecific and the clinical suspicion must be increased to diagnose related diseases. Radiological features can also be challenging to be distinguished from actual tumors. The classic manifestations of pulmonary TB are generally easy to diagnose due to the distinctive clinical and radiological characteristics nonetheless some pulmonary TB symptoms are also often found in patients with lung cancer. Infection patients resemble malignancies most were asymptomatic (> 27%) and the remaining 27% showed symptoms that varied with the average symptoms experienced about 1 month earlier. Clinical presentations that require a lot of misdiagnosis result in delayed treatment and unnecessary procedures. Establishing a diagnosis in cases of tuberculosis that causes malignancy is very important since the management and outcomes of the infection and malignancy process are quite diﬀerent. Consequently we report a 24-year-old man with tuberculosis possible lung cancer with multiple bone metastase. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis which attacks bones and joints constitutes 10% to 20% of all TB cases. The location of bone and joint TB generally develops in the lumbar or thoracic vertebrae

The variety of dermatological manifestations in patients with the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19, the incidence of which depends on concomitant pathology and the characteristics of drug treatment, and their characteristics are similar to those that occur with conventional viral infections is discussed. At the present time it is proposed to distinguish several groups depending on the cause and mechanism of development: angiitis of the skin; papulo-squamous rash and pink lichen; measles rash and infectious erythema; papulo-vesicular rash; toxidermia; urticarial eruptions and artifical lesions. The variety of the clinical picture of the skin manifestations of coronavirus infection requires in-depth analysis in order to interpret correctly the skin lesions and other infectious exanthema and dermatoses in patients with COVID-19.
