Published: February 2022

The aim of the present study is to formulate, evaluate and characterize the nanoemulsion of Domperidone a poorly water-soluble anti-emetic drug.

           Domperidone powder is white or almost white powder, photosensitive, practically insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and in methanol; soluble in dimethylformamide. It is used as an antiemetic for the short-term treatment of nausea and vomiting of various etiologies.

           Solubility studies were conducted to select the oil, surfactant and cosurfactant. Phase diagrams were constructed by aqueous phase titration method. Formulations were selected from the phase diagrams. The formulations were characterized for particle size, Polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential and in vitro drug release.

          All the formulations were in nanoscale and Formula 1 (which contain anise oil as oil phase ,mixture of Surfactant Tween 80 and  cosurfactant (ethanol) at ratio 1:1  in addition to double distilled water as aqueous phase in ratio 1:6:3 respectively ) was the selected formula depending on particle size, PDI, zeta potential and in vitro drug release.

         The Formula 1 has the best ratio because it gives the smallest nanoemulsion globule size (Particle size Average 20.81nm) and the best homogenicity (lowest PDI 0.266) and highest stability (higher zeta potential -33.9). The selected formula gives accepted physical and chemical properties.

Surgical site infections are the second most common type of adverse events occurring in hospitalized patients. Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis refers to the use of preoperative and postoperative antibiotics to decrease the incidence of postoperative wound infections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibiotic administration pattern for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and the adherence to American Society of Health-System Pharmacists surgical antibiotic prophylaxis guideline in Medical City Teaching Hospitals/Baghdad. The medical records of one hundred patients who underwent elective surgical procedures were reviewed. Adherence to the recommendations of American society of healthâ€‘system pharmacists guideline was assessed for every aspect of antibiotic prophylaxis.

The results of this study showed that antibiotic(s) had been administered to all of the patients involved in the study despite the fact that 34 patients (34%) were not required such prophylaxis.  While in case of administration time, 13 patients (13%) had received the antibiotic(s) at correct time while 87 patients (87%) at incorrect time. Proper antibiotic(s) selection was found in 11 patients (11.0%) only. All of the patients (100.0%) had received more than 2 doses, and all of them were not in concordance with surgical site infection prevention guidelines. In addition, 19 patients (19.0%) with surgical site infections were identified during hospital stay or within 30 days after surgery.

According to these results, we can conclude that there was a substantial gap between surgical antibiotic prophylaxis guideline and their implementation in daily practice in Medical City Teaching Hospitals/Baghdad.

Authors: Mohamad Ismail Mohamad Firdaus , Roslan Muhammad Firdaus , Shahadan Siti Zuhaidah
Published: February 2022

Introduction: A common treatment for patients nearing the end of their life expectancy is organ donation and transplantation. Organ donation can cure diseases and save the lives of those who need them. End-stage organ failure patients must have an organ transplant in order to survive and return to a normal life. The most common obstacle to organ donation is finding a donor willing to save other people's lives. Muslims are less likely to donate organs because of a lack of understanding of organ donation activities. To devise a strategy, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of organ donation activities. The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of Kuantan's Muslim population regarding organ donation.
Methodology: Based on interviews, this study employs a qualitative approach. An in-depth interview was conducted with eight residents of Kuantan, Pahang, in a semi-structured manner. There was a thematic analysis of the data.
Results: Among the topics discussed were understanding organ donation, decision-making factors, the current updates related to organ donation activities in Malaysia, awareness of Islamic guidelines related to organ donation, and a source of information.
Conclusion: Due to misunderstanding and anxiety, the willingness to register as a donor is still lacking. As a result of awareness campaigns, family and friends can all positively influence organ donation. The Islamic view on organ donation should be conveyed to the public in an easy-to-understand manner by religious leaders.

Published: February 2022

This study analyzes Twitter’s contribution to green energy. More than 200,000 global tweets sent during 2020 containing the terms “green energy” OR “greenenergy” were analyzed. The tweets were captured by web scraping and processed using algorithms and techniques for the analysis of massive datasets from social networks. In particular, relationships between users (through mentions) were determined according to the Louvain multilevel algorithm to identify communities and analyze global (density and centralization) and node-level (centrality) metrics. Subsequently, the content of the conversation was subject to semantic analysis (co-occurrence of the most relevant words), hashtag analysis (frequency analysis), and sentiment analysis (using the VADER model). The results reveal nine main communities and their leaders, as well as three main topics of conversation and the emotional state of the digital discussion. The main communities revolve around politics, socioeconomic issues, and environmental activism, while the conversations, which have developed mostly in positive terms, focus on green energy sources and storage, being aligned with the main communities identified, i.e., on political, socioeconomic, and climate change issues. Although most of the conversations have been about socioeconomic issues, the presence of leading company accounts was minor. The main aim of this work is to take the first steps toward an innovative competitive intelligence methodology to study and determine trends within different scientific fields or technologies in society that will enable strategic decisions to be made.

El documento destaca el impacto que deja el encierro en los estudiantes, en el proceso de aprendizaje en los cursos virtuales a distancia establecidos en la Universidad de Guadalajara, México, provocado por la emergencia de salud derivada de la pandemia COVID-19. En un estudio de caso se identifica el impacto en educación y salud en estudiantes que vivieron la transición repentina de cursos presenciales a cursos virtuales desde su hogar; se trata de una investigación cuantitativa aplicada a una muestra conformada por 36 estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Diseño para la Comunicación Gráfica. Los resultados muestran la pertinencia de la modalidad educativa presencial; no significa un desplazamiento de los cursos virtuales (en línea) mientras las localidades cuenten con redes de internet eficientes y económicamente accesibles, las familias tengan la tecnología y existan programas educativos que posibilitan la implementación de cursos virtuales, en modo híbrido.
Los desafíos de la continuidad pedagógica en tiempos de pandemia: algunas evidencias del trabajo escolar a partir de una indagación en la Escuela Normal Superior del Putumayo
Authors: Mesquita Romero Walter Antonio
Published: February 2022

Las derivas sobrevenidas con la pandemia han impactado a escala planetaria la totalidad de los ámbitos de la vida humana (desde aspectos emocionales hasta hasta el entorno de las administraciones). Bajo este nuevo orden de cosas, las instituciones tampoco escaparon a esta situación y, quizá la que viene enfrentado el mayor desafío, es la escuela. Por lo mismo, muchas de las respuestas y las nuevas actuaciones que se viene promoviendo y consolidando constituyen, en varios casos, respuestas provisorias frente a este nuevo escenario. Docentes, estudiantes y familias, desde el inicio de la pandemia, se vieron insertos en un escenario colmado de incertidumbres, temores y también de abundante reflexión sobre la fragilidad de la vida. A continuación, se presenta una reflexión alrededor de los desafíos que hubo (y muchos de ellos siguen presentes) en una Escuela Normal frente al trabajo escolar desde la distancia, mediado principalmente por dispositivos digitales; para ello se acude a un conjunto de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos generados a partir de una encuesta, donde se logra apreciar algunas claves para interpretar este fenómeno. Atendiendo al conjunto de la evidencia encontrada, se puede sostener que la escuela se afianza más que nunca como un espacio para la solidaridad, para la escucha, para el cuidado y para la reflexión reposada, como también, el posicionamiento de entornos mediatizados en el escenario escolar, cuya irrupción se siente con potencia. El conjunto de estos elementos contribuye a aguzar las diversas estrategias pedagógicas en tiempos de pandemia y quizá muchos persistirán por un buen tiempo o quedarán instalados en la escuela.
