Is evolutionary psychology a scientific revolution? A bibliometric response to Buss (2020)
Authors: Zagaria Andrea
Published: November 2023

In recent times, David Buss (2020) has claimed that Evolutionary Psychology (EP) represents a genuine "scientific revolution," drawing parallels with the Kuhnian concept. This paper aims to empirically examine Buss's assertion by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the prevalence of the evolutionary approach in Psychology. EP (broadly defined) is juxtaposed with its classical counterpart, the Standard Social Science Model (SSSM). According to Kuhn's framework, a discipline undergoing a scientific revolution evolves into the dominant school of thought, eclipsing all other theories. Contrary to Buss's contention, the analysis uncovers that the SSSM enjoys significantly greater prominence than EP and is advancing at a swifter pace. The data also indicates a “cultural evolutionary” approach is somewhat lacking (i.e. cross-fertilization between EP and SSSM is not evident). Despite sharing the aspiration for an evolutionary revolution in psychology, it is contended that, for this purpose, a prudent approach involves recognizing the current status of affairs, envisioning realistic change, and building a more methodologically diverse research community.

Published: November 2023

Mesadenitis (mesenteric lymphadenitis, mesenteritis) is a common cause of acute abdominal pain syndrome in children. At the same time, the cause of acute mesadenitis is far from being established in all cases. Diagnosis of mesenteric lymphadenitis presents a certain problem. Differential diagnosis is always carried out with acute surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity, primarily with acute appendicitis. Special attention is paid to ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of mesadenitis. Given the absence of statistically proven diagnostic criteria for changes in abdominal lymph nodes in mesadenitis, it is relevant to determine their ultrasound characteristics. The article is presented in the form of a lecture for practicing pediatricians based on a literature review. The characteristics of mesentery lymph nodes in various pathological processes are collected from various sources. The features of ultrasound characteristics of mesenteric lymph nodes in normal and acute mesadenitis with herpes infection, coronavirus infection, tuberculosis, as well as features of lymph nodes with lymphogranuloma are presented. A table has been developed that indicates such characteristics as the shape, number of lymph nodes in the section, echogenicity, blood flow status, capsule, contour, as well as additional characteristics in some conditions (such as the tendency to form conglomerates or the presence of calcinates in the structure of lymph nodes in tuberculosis lesions). A detailed description of the lymph nodes makes it possible to conduct a preliminary differential diagnosis of mesadenitis using ultrasound, which makes it possible to determine the vector of further diagnostic search in children with acute abdominal syndrome, and then to select pathogenetically justified therapeutic tactics and preventive measures.
Irritable bowel syndrome in children and intestinal microbiota: pathogenetic aspects and clinical guidelines
Authors: Belmer S. V.
Published: November 2023

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional conditions among children and adults. At the basis of IBS, as well as other functional disorders of the digestive system, is the disorder of brain-gut-microbiota axis. In recent years, the latter has been given particular importance not only in post-infectious IBS, but also in classic stress-induced IBS. The intestinal microflora determines the state of the enteric nervous system, visceral sensitivity, intestinal motility. In addition, the intestinal microbiota interacts through the transmitters it produces with the central nervous system, which also affects intestinal motility and the state of the microflora. Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of IBS in children of the Russian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists and Nutritionists in the treatment section include psychotherapeutic correction, diet therapy and drug therapy. Correctors of intestinal motility (trimebutine), probiotics and antispasmodics have proven effectiveness. The efficacy and safety of use in IBS in children Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, L. acidophilus LA­5, B. infantis, B. animalis, L. plantarum, L. casei, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium lactis BВ­12, B. breve, B. longum, S. thermophilus, Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I­745. In this case, it is advisable to use multi-strain probiotics. Thus, the intestinal microbiota is directly involved in the pathogenesis of IBS, and the need for the use of probiotics as part of complex therapy is beyond doubt. Their effectiveness has been proven in many serious studies, which was the reason for their inclusion in practical recommendations for the treatment of IBS in children and adults.

Cough is one of the most common symptoms in paediatric practice. Cough nature, duration, intensity, frequency, time and cause of occurrence should be considered in the differential diagnosis of its causes. Sputum evacuation disorders and changes in its rheological properties are indications for the prescription of mucoactive drugs. Despite the fact that the drugs included in this group have different mechanisms of action, all of them restore mucociliary clearance and lead to effective evacuation of secretions from the respiratory tract. Herbal medicinal products can be used along with classic mucoactive drugs (mucolytics, mucopegulators and mucokinetics). Ivy leaves are an example of a well-known and meticulously researched source of phytopharmaceutical products, they are included in the ESCOP monograph and entered into the positive list of the German Commission E. The efficacy and safety of ivy leaf products have been demonstrated in various controlled clinical studies. The authors presented a review of published clinical studies and non-interventional studies involving a total of 65,383 patients suffering from both acute and chronic respiratory diseases. The studies demonstrated the efficacy of ivy leaf extract preparations as achievement of a higher level of bronchodilation and surfactant production, which led to bronchospasmolytic, secretolytic, expectorant and, in turn, antitussive action. Herbal medicinal products are now actively used in the treatment of new coronavirus infection. Hedelix is one of the ivy leaf extract pharmaceutical preparations approved for use in children over the age of two years.

Published: November 2023

Pain  in the  right  hypochondrium is one  of the  most  frequent  complaints  in patients with  diseases  of the  biliary system. According to statistics, every tenth  person experiences unpleasant sensations in the upper right abdomen  after drinking alcohol, fatty, fried or salty food, as well as after  psychoemotional and physical exertion. The most  common  of the  pathologies of the  biliary system  is the  sphincter  of Oddi dysfunction  (SOD). SOD is a clinical syndrome  caused  by a functional  disorder of sphincter  of Oddi (SO), which leads  to the  development of abdominal  pain syndrome, increased activity of liver and / or pancreatic enzymes, dilatation of the common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct. One of the methods of treatment of SOD is drug  therapy,  accompanied by the  following  groups  of drugs:  antispasmodics, nitrates,  choleretics,  antidepressants, etc. At the  same  time, many medications show low efficacy against  SOD, or cause  pronounced side  effects. At present,  for the treatment of sphincter  of Oddi dysfunction,  the  domestic  drug  from the  group  of myotropic  antispasmodics, hymecromon, Holicron, has the optimal  characteristics in terms  of price-quality  ratio in the Russian pharmacological market. The drug has a selective  antispasmodic effect  on SO, and also has a choleretic effect. Mechanism  of antispasmodic action  is an increase in the concentration of nitric oxide (II) and cyclic mononucleotides, which through  a cascade  of biochemical  reactions  leads to a decrease in the number of calcium ions in the cell and a decrease in the tone of smooth  myocytes of SO and gallbladder. The drug is absorbed  into the blood in a small amount, which excludes  its systemic effect and determines the selectivity of the effect on the biliary system. According to the results  of clinical testing  and consideration of a specific clinical case, it can be concluded that  the use of hymecromone (Holicron) reduces  the severity of pain syndrome  and reduces  dyspepsia  syndrome, good tolerability  and absence of side effects that  would require withdrawal  of the drug are also recorded.

Published: November 2023

The article presents the pathogenetic features of dermatitis in children of the first year of life, features of the clinical picture and approaches to therapy. Contact dermatitis is a fairly common pathology in young children. Previously, it was believed that the clinical manifestations in this group of children were mainly associated with simple contact dermatitis (SCD), but in recent years, studies have shown that contact sensibilization is quite common, and currently the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is not uncommon, but timely anti-inflammatory therapy prevents the formation of a focus of chronic inflammation. The prevalence of SCD and ACD in children of the first year of life, as well as the severity of skin inflammation, is associated with the existing structural features of the skin. Changes in the structures of the epidermis and dermis, characteristic of this age period, lead to easier skin damage when exposed to various irritants, both mechanical and chemical in nature, and the penetration of allergens into the skin. The peculiarity of the structure of blood vessels and increased vascular permeability is an important factor in the development and longer existence of local inflammation. The main condition for the effectiveness of treatment of dermatitis is the cessation of exposure to the substances that caused their development, and the main means of treating these conditions are topical glucocorticosteroids (TGCS). The article discusses cases of SCD and ACD in children of the first year of life, in which methylprednisolone aceponate in the form of 0.1% cream was used for external therapy. The choice in favor of this TGCS was made due to the absence of halogens in the methylprednisolone aceponate formula, the possibility of use from 4 months of age and in sensitive areas. During treatment, all patients had a good clinical effect and no side effects. The use of methylprednisolone aceponate in the form of 0.1% cream for SCD and ACD in children of the first year of life is a highly effective and safe remedy.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Connective tissue is highly organized system, its disorders are characterized by a pronounced polymorphism of morphological and clinical manifestations. The cardiovascular pathology in patients with nonspecific connective tissue disorder attracts attention due to the high risk of complications: rhythm and conduction disorders, infective endocarditis, vascular thromboembolism and sudden cardiac death. Therefore, it’s very important to use up-to-date equipment and methods of early diagnosis of a high risk of fatal events in young.

Aim. To investigate the structural features of the heart and their relationship with the process of myocardial remodeling in children with arrhythmic syndrome and nonspecific connective tissue disorder.

Materials and methods. Sixty-five children were examined, 40 of them had arrhythmic syndrome in combination with nonspecific connective tissue disorder, and 25 had only minimal manifestations of nonspecific connective tissue disorder without arrhythmic syndrome. Such up-to-date methods as assessment of myocardial remodeling and longitudinal strain, natriuretic peptide assessment were included in the diagnostic algorithm.

Results and discussion. The study showed a variety of phenotypic and visceral markers of nonspecific connective tissue disorder in children with arrhythmic syndrome. Arrhythmic syndrome was manifested by monotopic and heterotopic heart rhythm disorders, and structural changes of the heart: mitral valve prolapse and myocardial wall thinning were correlated with a more frequent increase in natriuretic peptide. Speckle-tracking echocardiography showed a significant decrease in longitudinal myocardial strain with predominance of myocardial strain in the anterior basal segment in children with arrhythmic syndrome.

Conclusion. Our study showed a variety of phenotypic and visceral markers of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia in children with arrhythmic syndrome. The data obtained require further mathematical analysis and the establishment of a possible relationship between the external manifestations of the disease and cardiac rhythm and conduction disturbances.

The article is devoted to one of the urgent problems of pediatric gastroenterology – inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which currently include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The prevalence of IBD is inferior to other gastroenterological diseases, but according to the severity of the course, the frequency of complications and the level of mortality, IBD occupy one of the leading places in the structure of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The problem of IBD constantly attracts the attention of doctors of various specialties – pediatricians, gastroenterologists, surgeons and others. This is due to an increase in the incidence of this pathology, a variety of clinical manifestations, including extra-intestinal manifestations, faced by doctors of various specialties. In childhood, there is more often a greater prevalence of the lesion, a less specific and erased picture, there is an impact on the physical development of the child. The article provides information on the prevalence, significant factors in the development of the disease; research data revealing the relationship between taking med ications and the risk of IBD onset. The problems of the pathogenesis of the disease, the significance of the genetic status in the development of CD and UC are described. The article presents data on the features of the clinical picture of UC in childhood, recommendations for the primary diagnosis of IBD, including modern laboratory and instrumental research methods. The article also describes the recommended international criteria for assessing the severity of IBD and the problems of differential diagnosis. As a demonstration, the authors’ own observations are presented. The clinical example describes an atypical case of UC in a teenager, occurring with the involvement of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary and urinary systems with the development of polyserositis. Early diagnosis of IBD is necessary to prevent disability of patients, ensure further development of the child, improve the quality of life.

Among the  defecating disorders  with  constipation or diarrhea,  there  is a  group  of major  intestinal disorders  defined  by the  Rome IV Diagnostic  Criteria (2016): irritable  bowel  syndrome, functional  constipation, functional  diarrhea. The presence of several updates of the Rome criteria is due to the current  lack of objective signs of the listed disorders while many options for describing  subjective  sensation by patients from different  countries. It calls for their terminological multilingual  standardization. Both constipation and diarrhea  can be caused  by a variety of exogenous and endogenous factors and have different pathogenetic mechanisms,  but they cannot  be identified  properly using modern  clinical and laboratory  methods for functional intestinal disorders. However, the  high prevalence of these  syndromes, characterized by the  presence of complaints  that reduce  patients’ quality of life, necessitates their  correction. The drug choice for defecation disorders  and abdominal  pain is often limited by contradictions from international clinical guidelines and national  regulations.Therefore, the Recommendations of the  Russian Gastroenterological Association for the  treatment of functional  intestinal diseases  contain  many instructions on general  therapeutic and dietary measures. The pain syndrome treatment is based on the spasmolytics. Among the laxatives that  have long been  used in the treatment of chronic constipation, sodium picosulfate has long been  successfully used. This drug has high efficacy and safety profiles; the instructions for its medical  use allow to prescribe  it in patients suffered  from irritable  bowel syndrome with constipation. The use of sodium picosulfate for IBS is regulated by many clinical recommendations. However, this  drug  may be ineffective  against  abdominal  pain. It is incorrect  to assign  the  mission  of pain  relief  to a laxative  because of multifactorial pathogenesis of IBS pain with constipation or diarrhea  and uncertainty of methods for its pharmacological control.
Is a gluten-free diet enough to treat celiac disease?
Authors: Oreshko L. S. , Tskhovrebova Z. M.
Published: November 2023

Celiac disease  is a chronic gluten-induced autoimmune enteropathy in genetically predisposed individuals with specific HLA genotypes carrying the  DQ2 (DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201) or DQ8 (DQA1*0301 and DQB1*0302) alleles. The overall  global prevalence of celiac  disease  is 0.7–1.4%. The increase  in the  incidence  rate  is associated with  significant  consumption of gluten  over the  last  century, which has a peculiar  effect  on the  small intestine mucosa. Atrophic processes in the  intestine mucosa contribute to malabsorption and development of gluten-dependent clinical symptoms, however, the manifestation of the disease  can occur at any age. The small intestine disease  with the development of hyper-regenerative atrophy of the small intestine mucosa  is recognized  as a systemic  disease  accompanied by various deficiency conditions  both  with and  without atrophy of the small intestine mucosa. Long-term adherence to a gluten-free diet entails  certain deficiency conditions, such as vitamins B, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and folic acid deficiencies, as well as a decrease in body mass index. To ensure  adequate nutritional intake, patients with celiac disease  require additional resources, namely specialized  dietary nutrition  products. The issues  of understanding the  need  for enteral nutrition  in the  management of patients with celiac disease  are stressed.  The article  presents a clinical observation of the  nutritional support  for a female  patient  with a typical course  of celiac disease, grade 2 protein-energy malnutrition, which demonstrated that the use of specialized  food products  as additional nutrition  can significantly improve the nutritional status  and somatometric indicators  in a patient  with celiac disease  on a gluten-free diet.
Approaches to the management of surgical patients with antibiotic-associated mild diarrhea
Authors: Egorov D. V. , Lazareva Yu. A. , Seliverstov P. V.
Published: November 2023

The paper  highlights  the issues  of antibiotic-associated diarrhea  (AAD) of mild severity in the treatment of surgical patients, its epidemiology, etiology, features  of the clinical picture and approaches to therapy. The mild course of AAD includes diarrhea without  signs  of intoxication,  leukocytosis  and  fever. Stool  disorder  in patients receiving  antibiotics  who are  in a surgical hospital  is an urgent  medical  problem, since  this pathology  prolongs  the  time  of hospitalization, increases  economic  costs, reduces  the quality of life and can even be the cause of the patient’s death. According to various authors, AAD develops  in 40% of people  receiving antibacterial therapy. A clinical example  of the management of a patient  with AAD and injury of the musculoskeletal system is considered in detail.The abolition of antibiotics  is not a method  of solving this problem, since the severity of the patient’s injuries requires  further surgical treatment and prevention of purulent-septic complications. The key point in the  treatment of mild AAD will be the  appointment of probiotic  drugs, which have  an effect  on the  pathogenetic  links of AAD. Probiotics  are  microorganisms that  have  been  known  since  ancient  times  and  are  purposefully  used  for health improvement and longevity. One of the first probiotic drugs used before the era of the discovery of antibiotics  can be considered  Mechnikov curdled  milk with  unique  medicinal  properties.  Prescribing  probiotic  therapy  from the  first day of taking antibiotics, without  waiting for the results  of laboratory examination, will significantly reduce  the prevalence of clinical manifestations of both clostridial  diarrhea  and idiopathic AAD.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. A high prevalence of decreased liver density has been shown among patients with COVID-19, but there are no convincing data on the cause of this phenomenon. It is still debatable whether decreased liver attenuation is an independent risk factor for the severe course of COVID-19.

Aim. Assessment the prognostic value of liver attenuation on CT scan in patients with COVID-19.

Materials and methods. Retrospective cohort study. Data of COVID-19 outpatients were analyzed. Inclusion criteria: two chest CT scans, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) blood values, polymerase chain reaction to verify SARS-CoV-2. Four comparison groups were assigned according to the severity of lung lesions. Liver attenuation was analyzed by automatic segmentation, with values less than 40 HU being considered pathologic.

Results. Data from 499 patients was included. No correlation between ALT and AST and changes in liver attenuation was found. Groups differed in age and liver attenuation on both CT scans. On follow-up  CT, low liver density was seen in males (odds ratio (OR) 2.79 (95%  CI 1.42–5.47), p-value = 0.003) and in patients with a baseline reduced liver density (OR 60.59 (95%  CI 30.51–120.33), p-value < 0.001). Age over 60 years was associated with the development  of lung lesions (OR 1.04 (95%  CI 1.02–1.06)  for extent of lung injury < 25%, OR 1.08 (95%  CI 1.05–1.11)  for 25–50%, OR 1.1 (95%  CI 1.06–1.15)  for 25–50%, p-value < 0.001). Low liver attenuation  on the primary CT scan increased the odds of severe lung  injury (OR 6.9 (95%  CI 2.06–23.07), p-value = 0.002).

Conclusion. In COVID-19, patients with low liver attenuation are more likely to develop severe lung damage.

Este artículo analiza la normatividad colombiana relacionada con regulación del tránsito y seguridad vial, para el periodo 1990-2017. Para lo cual, se realizó una investigación documental para el periodo de observación que, posteriormente, se ordenaron en una matriz que contenía tema del documento, año de publicación y emisor. Se utilizó la técnica de análisis de contenido identificando políticas promocionales o correctivas y sus elementos de seguridad activa y pasiva. Los resultados evidencian que el 65% de las normas emitidas durante el periodo son de carácter correctivo, integrando mayores elementos de seguridad activa. La normativa de tipo promocional es menos con frecuente, regularmente orientada a políticas de desarrollo, de administración y de regulación de la conducta. El patrón de construcción de normas para dar respuesta a la seguridad vial se orienta a reducir la accidentalidad vial como fin último, dejando de lado la comprensión de la seguridad vial como fenómeno dinámico y complejo.

En Colombia es frecuente que, en las prácticas de la atención en salud, la fundamentalidad del derecho a la salud experimente afectaciones con importantes consecuencias sociales asociadas, de allí que, en coherencia con lo manifestado, el objetivo de este trabajo investigativo sea evidenciar las vicisitudes del derecho fundamental a la salud en Colombia derivadas de la declaratoria del Estado de Excepción por Emergencia Económica, Social y Ecológica (EEEESE), las declaratorias de Emergencia Sanitaria (ES) y las Alertas Rojas Hospitalarias (ARH) a que obligó la pandemia del COVID-19 en el período 2020-2021. En adherencia con lo planteado este desarrollo investigativo implicará una metodología que, a apuntalada en el proceder hermenéutico, en razón, a la esencia interpretativa de las fuentes que lo sustentan, posibilite un análisis crítico-argumentativo de documentos de índole jurisprudencial devenidas de los archivos del Congreso y la Corte Constitucional, normativa de los entes gubernamentales involucrados en el manejo de la pandemia, además de textos jurídicos y filosóficos contentivos de desarrollos relacionados con el objeto de este escrito de tal manera que, transversalizados con el informe de “El estado de los derechos en estado de emergencia” de la Procuraduría General de la nación, permitan evidenciar los sucesos que fueron adversos a la idea de fundamentalidad que acompaña al derecho a la salud materializadas en actuaciones de índole jurídica por parte de los distintos operadores que desde el nivel nacional o territorial plantean una dicotomía entre un Estado garante de la salud como derecho fundamental y un Estado donde esa garantía admite, circunstancialmente el epíteto de “mera lírica constitucional” en los términos a los que, en sus tesis, hace referencia Alexy.
Legítima defensa frente a sujetos inimputables
Authors: López Loaiza Augusto
Published: November 2023

Una vez que se verifica la tipicidad de la conducta: imputación objetiva e imputación subjetiva, el siguiente escalón a analizar, dentro de la teoría del delito, es la antijuridicidad de la conducta. En esta se verifica si la conducta desplegada por el autor va en contra de la normativa jurídico-penal. En tal sentido, lo interesante de la antijuridicidad es su aspecto negativo; es decir, la forma en la que se excluye la responsabilidad penal: mediante la legítima defensa y el estado de necesidad justificante. Al respecto existe un debate dogmático en atención a cómo se debería encuadrar la defensa realizada por una persona o por un tercero frente a la agresión de un sujeto inimputable y, además, cómo es que se debería llevar a cabo dicha defensa. A brindar más luces respecto a este interesante debate es que a lo que se aboca el presente artículo.

La propiedad privada como un factor de poder y riqueza quien es propietario puede hacer uso de los atributos como lo son: el uso, la disposición  y el goce,  las normas más recientes establecen:  ordenamiento territorial , función social, función ecológica, prevalencia del interés general sobre el interés particular y distribución equitativa de las cargas y beneficios, esto han generado límites y  restricciones a la propiedad privada y como consecuencia se han realizado  afectaciones patrimoniales.
La Constitución política y la ley ha generado que la propiedad privada tenga seguridad jurídica en Colombia, como lo es el no verse afectada por normas o leyes posteriores tal como lo estable el artículo 58, pero también tenemos figuras como la expropiación administrativa que puede realizar el Estado con relación a que el interés general debe primar sobre el interés particular, logrando con ello que el propietario se deba desprender de su derecho a la propiedad. Se inserta en el artículo un modelo de investigación correlacional, donde se explica el fenómeno, se trata de establecer cómo interactúan dos variables, de una parte, el fenómeno de la colisión del interés particular /interés general respecto a la propiedad privada, integrándose así la correlacionalidad.

Authors: Lemessa Gemechu , Chebude Yonas , Alemayehu Esayas
Published: November 2023

Magnetite-diatomite nanocomposite was synthesized through co-precipitation methods as an effective Cr(VI) removal adsorbent. The properties of diatomite, thermochemically modified diatomite (TMD), and magnetic–diatomite nanocomposite (MDN) were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and complete silicate chemical analysis. The MDN shows 98.89% adsorption removal at optimized conditions using the response surface methodology of Box–Behnken Design. The kinetic data for Cr(VI) sorption on MDN were well described by pseudo-second order, which indicates the Cr(VI) adsorption was mainly due to chemisorption. The isotherm data show that the Langmuir and Freundlich models better described Cr(VI) ion sorption data. The thermodynamic parameters ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° were estimated, and the results indicate Cr(VI) sorption on MDN was a spontaneous (ΔG° < 0) and exothermic process (ΔH° < 0). The proper Fe3O4 loading into TMD improves the gram susceptibility (Xg) of MDN for magnet separation. The regeneration of nanocomposite material revealed over 80% Cr(VI) removal efficiency after five consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles. The produced MDN was tested for the removal of Cr(VI) from real tannery wastewater. The obtained results suggest the possibility of using this nanocomposite as an effective, efficient adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) laden wastewater.

Background and Aim:

Mental health of non-hospitalized patients and those
with non-severe infections has attracted lower attention in comparison to other patients.
Circulating monocytes are deeply involved in all stages of COVID-19 infection. The present
study aimed to investigate the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio
(MLR) and depressive symptoms in patients with non-severe COVID-19 infection.

Methods:

The study included 312 patients with non-severe COVID-19 infection diagnosed
on the basis of a positive reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test of
nasopharyngeal swabs. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the validated Arabic
version of the 7-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). According to the obtained
scores, patients were classified to have mild (10-13), moderate (14-17), or severe
depression (>17).

Results:

The present study included 312 patients with non-severe COVID-19. According
to HAMDS, clinically significant depression was diagnosed in 144 patients (46.2 %). They
comprised 38 patients (12.2 %) with mild depression, 30 patients (9.6 %) with mild-tomoderate
depression and 76 patients (24.4 %) with moderate-to-severe depression. Multivariate
logistic regression analysis identified male sex [OR (95% CI): 2.07 (1.27-3.36), p =
0.003], presence of dyspnea [(OR (95 % CI): 1.99 (1.21-3.27), p = 0.007], D dimer levels
[OR (95% CI): 2.32 (1.19-4.52), p = 0.013], MLR [OR (95% CI): 0.52 (0.28-0.99), p =
0.046] and abnormal CT findings [OR (95% CI): 1.79 (1.08-2.95), p = 0.023] as significant
predictors of depression in the studied patients.

Conclusion:

Low MLR is related to depressive symptoms in patients with non-severe
covid-19 infection. Other predictors include male sex, dyspnea, abnormal CT findings and
elevated D-dimer levels.

Arch flash is a disorder that often occurs in the electrical system of an industry or factory. In this research focusing on the analysis of the protection system by considering arc flash, it will be discussed in detail at the existing factory in East Java, namely PLTU Paiton unit 3 which is developing a unit with a capacity of 1x815 MW. The electrical system at PLTU Paiton unit 3 discusses only high and medium voltage systems. In order to support the continuity of the plant, to connect the Java-Bali electricity system, it is necessary to have a good protection coordination system to avoid black out due to one of the impacts caused by the arc of fire. After coordination of protection in the Paiton PLTU unit 3 system, arc analysis will be simulated with IEEE 1584-2002 standard calculations to find the  magnitude of energy incidents and determine the safety limits of workers and also personal protective equipment according to NFPA 70E standards. The results of the study after resetting the protection coordination of PLTU Paiton unit 3 using differential rele on the SWGR-3A bus incident value of arc energy and Flash Protection Boundary (FPB) value decreased which originally reached a level outside level 4 (40cal / cm2) to level 3 (8.1-25cal / cm2), on the SWGR-3B bus the incidence energy value was at level 3 (8.1-25cal / / cm2) dropped to level 2 (4.1-8cal / cm2), for coal hand sys bus SWGR A the energy incident value from level 3 (8.1-25cal//cm2) drops to level 0 (0 -1.2cal/cm2), while for the coal hand sys SWGR B bus the energy incident value when existing conditions reach level 3 (8.1-25cal//cm2) drops to level 0 (0-1.2cal/cm2). After obtaining the energy level of the bus, then personal protective equipment can be determined.

Electrical energy is one of the basic human needs in carrying out various activities or daily activities, especially in office buildings such as office buildings of state higher education institutions, namely the Sumatra Institute of Technology (ITERA). Office buildings are the third highest consumer of electrical energy after shopping centers and hotels. The high demand for electrical energy requires the user sector to make efficiency in energy use. Before making efficiency, it is necessary to know the profile of electrical energy consumption including energy consumption intensity (ECI) and significant energy users. Therefore, in this study, an analysis of electrical energy consumption in each ITERA office building was carried out, through observation and interviews according to SNI / ISO 50002: 2018 energy audit procedures. The results obtained show that the total energy use of the 6 largest buildings (A, B, C, D, E, and F) in May 2023 is 144768 kWh and from the calculation of the ECI value is in the very efficient category (7.44 kWh/m2/month). From 6 existing buildings, there are 3 buildings that are very efficient, 1 building is efficient, and 2 buildings are quite efficient. Then, significant energy users were found by 83% in building C AC. Recommendations for saving energy in the effort of energy conservation and efficiency that can be done include, making changes in habits / patterns of use of electrical energy user equipment, especially in air conditioners and dispensers, so as to save electricity 2-21%, and retrofitting refrigerant AC types of split ducts and cassettes that still use R-22 with MC-22 which can save electricity 15-25%.
