Published: September 2022

Journalism has major role in people training, civic peace and unity. The news leads the human to create and invent new forms of communication. This article focused on the role of newspapers and monthly editions in promoting Urdu literature. Journalism is process for publishing books, booklets, journals and newspapers. This article highlights the origin of journalism from the Arabic word “Sahifa” with meaning “Book or Booklet”. This article has explored that publishing of news starts from china leading to England, Germany and Europe with writing letters, pasting major news on city walls, using drum to announce major official orders and carving orders on stones. In India the publishing of news started back to Asoka leading to Mughal emperors, East India Company and British rule. Findings indicated that the publishing of newspapers in India start from Hakes Gazette, India Gazette, Kolkata Gazette to many Urdu newspapers like Delhi Urdu Newspaper, Khairkhwa. In early twentieth century, newspapers like Saqi, Zamindar, Hilal, Aodh Akhbar, Tehzib ul Ikhlaq, Nigar and Payam are major newspapers that give the popularity to journalism leading role toward the freedom.

Ressalta-se a importância da preservação dessas áreas remanescentes de Mata Atlântica. Para isso, objetiva-se conhecer as características ambientais e sociais, identificar os potenciais impactos com análise em estudos já realizados no Brasil e trabalhos relacionados ao licenciamento ambiental de obras do Setor Elétrico, e os referenciais teóricos de autores e obras sobre conflitos ambientais desses empreendimentos. A metodologia está embasada na análise de documentos como Estudo de Impacto Ambiental e o Relatório de Impacto Ambiental (EIA-RIMA), os produzidos por órgãos públicos e pela população atingida. Confirma-se a fragilidade do licenciamento ambiental, da falta de planejamento do Setor Elétrico, desconsiderando necessidades futuras e estudos sobre áreas prioritárias de conservação inclusive do próprio governo e da violação de direitos humanos dos atingidos como o direito à informação e o direito à participação.
El olvido y la memoria: su discusión en procesos migratorios y de transformación cultural
Authors: Hurtado Guzmán Annaliesse
Published: September 2022

En este texto se reflexiona acerca de los procesos migratorios y su relación con el olvido y la memoria colectiva. Se recupera la experiencia de la comunidad triqui que habita en el centro de la Ciudad de México. Dicha comunidad llega a la Ciudad de México debido a diversos eventos que incidieron en tal movilidad, como el desplazamiento interno forzado y una precarización laboral importante en medios rurales. Desde un enfoque etnográfico se generaron los acercamientos a las familias triquis; y a través de creaciones como murales o escritos/poemas, así como de la experiencia en la vida cotidiana, se da cuenta de una memoria colectiva que entra en tensión con el tiempo presente. Las diversas experiencias de pobreza, exclusión y las consecuentes estrategias para sobrevivir en el día a día van dando cuenta de la incansable tensión entre olvido y recuerdo manifestada en una transformación de algunos elementos étnicos y el contacto con la muerte. Los poemas y otras acciones artísticas que generan una huella van interviniendo en la realidad social. La memoria colectiva, en tal sentido, tendrá una característica dinamizadora y de cambio social.

Published: September 2022

It is not enough to solve health problems through medicine and health science disciplines alone; the role of another discipline, particularly the sociology of health, is an important contribution to solving health problems, particularly in changing people's health behaviors. This study aims to discover new information about the health status and health behavior of communities living on the outskirts of the forest. The descriptive qualitative approach is used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for this study, and 15 informants were chosen. According to the findings of this study, health status is moderate, healthy behavior is poorer, housing or cottage environment is still dirty, and waste and garbage are still scattered. Most diseases were caused by bad health behavior, which was aided by natural factors. Based on the findings of this study, we recommend that the edge forest community develop and improve its health literacy, including a health campaign promoting a clean and healthy lifestyle.

Authors: Arake Lukman , Makkarateng Ma’adul Yaqien , Wahyuga Asrial
Published: September 2022

This article discusses the shift in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) position after the birth of Law No. 19 of 2019 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission. Normative using legal research, this article is expected to find out how the position of the anti-corruption agency owned by Indonesia, namely the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), after the revision of Law No. 30 of 2002 concerning the Commission on Combating Corruption. Based on this research, it was obtained that various institutions have been formed to deal with corruption problems in the history of corruption crimes that occurred in Indonesia. Until the Reformation period was formed, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) carried out its authority. The KPK was independent. However, the status of the KPK as an independent institution in carrying out all its duties turned into a state institution in the executive branch. The shift in the position of the KPK from independent institutions to institutions in the executive branch occurs because the government is still compartmentalizing state institutions in the Triassic paradigm of Politica, which is no longer relevant for its implementation in the current constitutional system.

Entrepreneurs Da'wah is related to success in business which cannot be separated from religious life. Doing business does not mean greedy and does not like to accumulate or live happily. The attitude of a religious businessman is part of the elements of upholding da'wah. At the practical level, da'wah is to realize Islamic teaching activities by doing good, preventing evil deeds, giving warnings and giving good news. This study focuses on the problem of building a corporate ladder, marketing strategy, human resource development, and the meaning of work. The company ladder from the beginning of the healthcare business. Healthcare businesses are now adjusting to a new reality where bargaining power has shifted to consumers. Consumers now play a key role in the commercialization process, making them important stakeholders to meet their needs. Health business reforms have convinced consumers to make protection a bigger priority than ever since the COVID-19 pandemic escalated around the world. Health care businesses in Indonesia are no exception, must increase their brand trust, because of the great responsibility to protect consumers from COVID-19 prevention, and brand trust also gives added value to the hospital brand itself.

Authors:   Akita University, Siame Moses , Kaoma Julius ,   Universal Mining and Chemical Industries Limited, Shibayama Atsushi ,   Akita University
Published: September 2022

In this study, the impurities removal process for low-grade Sanje iron ore was developed using Wet High-intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) and Reverse flotation (RF). Sanje Iron Ore is the low-grade hematite ores found in Nampundwe area of Zambia from which Iron is to be extracted and used as the feed in the steelmaking process. The ore contains 34.18 mass per cent Iron grade, 31.10 mass% of Silica (SiO2) and 7.65 mass per cent Alumina (Al2O3). Magnetic Separation experiments were done using Series L Model 4 laboratory magnetic Separator (L-4 Machine) as the first stage impurity removal process and the effect of various magnetic separation parameters such as magnetic flux density, particle size density and pulp density of the feed were studied. The results showed that 10 T was optimal magnetic flux density which enhanced the recovery of 93 per cent of iron with 53.22 mass per cent grade. The iron concentrate produced from magnetic separation contained 12.04 massper cent Silica and 3.94 massper cent Alumna and therefore, it was further treated using Reverse flotation. In reverse flotation, various parameters such as pH, collector dosage, Iron depressant dosage and quartz activator dosage were investigated. The results showed that 81.94 per cent was recovered at the concentrate’s pH of 6.8 using 200 g/T of 0.1 per cent calcium oxide (CaO) as silica activator and one kg/T of 0.1 per cent causticised starch as Iron depressant. Sodium Oleate (NaOL) and Dodceylamine Acetate (DAA) each with discrete dosage, were used as Anionic and Cationic collectors respectively. Alumina was consequently reduced to 1.04 mass per cent and Silica to 2.04 mass per cent at optimum respective collector’s dosage of 0.250 kg/T using 0.02 kg/T of Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) frother. Additionally, phosphorous was also observed to be reduced from 0.05 mass per cent to 0.01 mass per cent. The designed multi-stage process involving feeding the concentrate from WHIMS into RF process therefore produced a high-grade iron concentrate iron with 67.27 mass per cent grade, 2.04 mass per cent silica, 1.04 mass per cent alumina.

Authors: Noel Alexandre
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a terrible toll in terms of mortality and overwhelming health care systems worldwide. The race to handle the disease had precipitated research on both repurposed drugs as well as the development of new ones. There is biological plausibility for cyproheptadine to be useful as an anti-serotonergic agent. In this retrospective case series, we show that cyproheptadine has no significant side effects in a monitored setting that would preclude a larger trial to be done to assess potential therapeutic efficacy.

Authors: Tavares Daniela Noberto , De Brito George Queiroz , Kujbida Paula da Silva
Published: September 2022

A captura de caranguejo no Brasil é uma atividade econômica que vem crescendo juntamente com seu consumo. Contudo, devido à intensa poluição das águas com lixo e resíduos industriais ocorre a bioacumulação de arsênio em organismos marinhos, o que provoca a exposição dos seres humanos a possíveis contaminações por esse metaloide tóxico. Fato esse, que produz riscos para a saúde da população apreciadora. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o teor de arsênio em amostras de carne de caranguejo adquirido de três lugares diferentes de venda do produto no comércio da cidade de Natal/RN. O arsênio total foi determinado por espectrofotometria de absorção molecular, tendo sido feita a mineralização das amostras por via seca. As três amostras avaliadas apresentaram concentrações de arsênio (As) abaixo do valor máximo permitido de 1,00 mg/kg, tendo as amostras valores de média e desvio padrão de 0,592±0,000, 0,579±0,164 e 0,660±0,000 mg/kg.
Transtorno do espectro autista (TEA): da classificação genética ao diagnóstico molecular
Authors: Da Cruz Fontes Bruna Maria , Barbieri de Souza Cleide
Published: September 2022

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), é caracterizado por déficits sociocomunicativos persistentes em conjunto com padrões comportamentais repetitivos e restritos. Com o progresso da biologia molecular e genética, sobrevém importantes ferramentas que contribuem para o seu conhecimento genético e diagnóstico. Dessa forma, esta revisão objetiva abordar a classificação genética do TEA e revisar os avanços diagnósticos do distúrbio a partir de técnicas da biologia molecular. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica, utilizando bancos de dados como National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), preconizando artigos de 2013 a 2020. Com base nos resultados alcançados visualiza-se que a classificação genética do TEA em formas sindrômicas e não sindrômicas, surgiu da necessidade de olhar a condição sobre a ótica das causas genéticas envolvidas. Quanto aos avanços diagnósticos, técnicas como Análise Cromossômica por Microarray, cariótipo, pesquisa para X frágil e sequenciamento dos genes MECP2 e PTEN, são visualizadas como ferramentas complementares ao diagnóstico clínico do TEA.  Por fim, conclui-se que a classificação genética do TEA ressalta a importância de considerar as questões genéticas para o aperfeiçoamento do conhecimento do transtorno, dado que a maioria das diretrizes diagnósticas atuais se fundamentam exclusivamente na clínica do paciente, excluindo aspectos genéticos já comprovadamente relacionados ao distúrbio. Considerando o diagnóstico molecular do TEA observa-se que entre seus avanços e perspectivas, técnicas da biologia molecular podem contribuir para identificação etiológica do caso, tornando o aconselhamento genético e diagnóstico clínico mais eficientes.

Published: September 2022

The aim of the current study was to characterize E. coli isolates belonging to several serotypes in samples from different animal sources. The genetic diversity among the isolates was evaluated by multiplex PCR. Out of 30 suspected isolated E. coli which were identified microscopically, culturally and biochemically examined by VITEK2 and serologically identified there were 8 isolates showing low discrimination for E. coli and were non-typeable while 22 isolates positive, showing excellent level of identification for E. coli and were identified serologically. Thirteen different serogroups were identified, O26:H11, O91:H21, O78, O111:H2, O125:H21, O146:H21, O1:H7, O44:H18, O55:H7, O119:H6, O121:H7, O128:H2 and O159. Findings of multiplex PCR of virulence genes showed that the eaeA gene was successfully amplified in O26:H11; stx1 gene was successfully amplified in O26:H11, O55:H7, O91:H21, O111:H2, O119:H6, O128:H2 and O146:H21 serogroups but stx2 gene was successfully amplified in O1:H7, O26:H11, O78, O91:H21, O111:H2, O119:H6 and O125:H21. O91:H21, O111:H2 and O119:H6 serogroups carried both (stx1 and stx 2) genes, O26:H11 serogroup carried (stx 1, stx 2 and eae) genes and O44:H18, O121:H7 and O159 serogroups were negative for these genes. Findings of multiplex PCR of β-lactamase antimicrobial resistance genes showed that blaOXA gene was successfully amplified in O26:H11 only; blaCTX-M1 gene was successfully amplified in O78 and O121:H7 serogroups but blaTEM gene was successfully amplified in O26:H11, O91:H21, O111:H2 and O125: H21. O26:H11 serogroup carried both (blaOXA and blaTEM) genes and O1: H7, O44:H18, O55:H7, O119:H6, O128:H2, O146:H21 and O159 serogroups were negative for (blaOXA, blaCTX-M and blaTEM) genes. In conclusion, animals and animal products could be a significant reservoir of diverse E. coli virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes which is potentially hazardous to public health.
Do International Reserves Matter for Turkey’s Economic Growth in the Long-Run?
Authors: Benli Muhammed , Orhan Bilal
Published: September 2022

The theoretical considerations do not yield a persuasive answer on the net effect of reserves on economic growth as this effect may go either a positive or negative direction. Similarly, the empirical literature on the relationship between the two provides ambiguous findings. Hence, this study attempts to examine the long-run dynamics of Turkey’s international reserves - economic growth nexus for the period 1990-2020, employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration. The empirical evidence suggests a significant and positive but minimal effect of international reserves on economic growth.

Focal dermal hypoplasia is X-linked dominant disease affecting the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. 95% feature de novo and 90% of these are females. Focal dermal hypoplasia is induced by a mutation in the PORCN gene. Objective: The aim of this article is to present a case of a one-year-old girl child with multi-hypopigmented reticulated atrophic macules and patches grouped in linear mode at the lines of blaschko, skeleton abnormalities, umbilical hernia, developmental delay, hypoplastic nails, syndactyly and lobster claw deformity. Case report: A one-year-old girl child presented to the dermatology clinic with asymptomatic lesions since childhood with no improvement, with multi- hypopigmented skin lesions on the trunk and extremities since birth as linear erosions that heal gradually during few days, leaving peripheral hypopigmentation with hyperpigmentation with anomalies of limbs and nails and delayed development. She was born by normal vaginal delivery and weighed 2.5 kg at birth. None of the family members had such features. She had dental enamel anomaly and partial anodontia in the lower jaw. Sparse hair and partial alopecia (scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes) were recorded. Conclusion: Focal dermal hypoplasia is a congenital skin disease with a unique clinical feature. Thorough examination of the extremities is indicated for early proper genetic counseling and therapy.

The goal of this study was to determine if the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predicts mortality in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) with an ischemic stroke. Between January 1 and December 31, 2021, 116 patients admitted to our emergency department with the diagnosis of ischemic stroke and hospitalized in the 3rd level ICU unit were included in the study and divided into two groups: patients who died (Group 1: n=62) and patients who survived (Group 2: n=54). Patients’ age, gender, presence of chronic diseases, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, and neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and NLR were obtained by dividing these two numbers in the first complete blood count taken at the time of admission to the emergency department were collected and analyzed. While 54 (46.5%) patients were discharged from the ICU, 62 (53.4%) patients died. 60 (51.7%) of the patients were female. The average age of patients was 76.85±10.70. APACHE II score was found to be correlated with mortality (AUC 0.70, 95% CI (0.616-0.802) (p=0.01). When the APACHE II cut-off value was more than 13.5, it predicted mortality with 95% sensitivity and 85% specificity. The median NLR ratio of the patients was found to be 5.08 (0.38-35.16) in the survivors and 11.68 (1.38-113.00) in patients that died. NLR was lower in survivors (p=0.002). NLR may be a valuable marker in predicting mortality in stroke patients admitted to the ICU.

The use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) alone may be sufficient for asthma control in mild asthma. We investigated the effect of inhaled steroid and beta-2 agonist combination on airway function and inflammation in mild asthma.We randomized 20 mild persistent asthma patients treated with the 200μg budesonide (10 patients) or budesonide 200μg -formoterol 12μg (10 patients) twice daily for 4 weeks. We investigated the effects of treatment groups on pulmonary function tests by spirometry and eosinophil percentage and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels in serum and induced sputum. We compared values before and after treatment within budesonide and budesonide-formoterol groups and after treatment between groups. We observed that eosinophil percentage and ECP levels in serum and induced sputum decreased significantly after treatment in both treatment groups. Only the decrease in serum eosinophil percentage level was not significant in the budesonide group. On the other that, there was no significant reduction of inflammatory markers between the two treatment groups. The spirometric measurements (FVC, FEV1, FEF25-75) showed a statistically significant increase within the budesonide-formoterol treatment group, but not in the budesonide group. These measurements were not statistically changed between the two treatment groups. In patients with mild asthma, budesonide and formoterol combination therapy did not add to the improvement of airway obstruction and inflammation more than budesonide therapy.

Published: September 2022

Background: Emerging data from in vivo and in vitro investigations have proven that Vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for the etiology of diabetes and its consequences; however, individual published studies have yielded conflicting results. The current study’s goal was to evaluate and correlate Vitamin D levels in the blood of diabetic patients with and without diabetic retinopathy (DR), as well as to correlate Vitamin D with duration of diabetes, age and HbA1C.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate and correlate Vitamin D levels in the blood of diabetic patients with and without DR, and to correlate Vitamin D levels with age, duration of diabetes, and HbA1C.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study of 150 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (aged 35–70 years) was included. The 150 Type 2 Diabetic patients were separated into three groups: Group 1 (no DR, n = 52), Group 2 (non-proliferative DR [NPDR], n = 58), and Group 3 (PDR, n = 42). Enrolled participants were subjected to a thorough physical examination to rule out the occurrence of microvascular problems, which included microfilament testing and a thorough fundus examination. Serum samples were used to test fasting blood sugar, HbA1C, and serum Vitamin D.

Results: T2DM subjects with DR had lower mean serum 25 (OH) D concentrations than patients without DR (21.5 ± 9.5 vs. 17.7 ± 10.2 vs. 14.4 ± 5.9; P = 0.04). Mean HbA1C concentration was significantly lower in No DR (NDR) in comparison to NPDR and PDR (7.6 ± 1.5; vs. 8.5 ± 1.9; vs. 9.3 ± 1.8; P = 0.037. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between the blood 25 (OH) D level and age (–0.165; P = 0.015), diabetes duration (–0.172; P = 0.014), and HbA1C (–0.148; P = 0.040).

Conclusion: The current investigation showed that patients with DR have lower levels of 25 [OH] D than those with non DR subjects. 25 [OH] D levels were negatively associated with age, duration of diabetes, and HbA1C.

Published: September 2022

The curriculum is a breathing and ever-changing document reflecting current trends and needs of high school students, teachers, administrators or even the institutions. All have a tremendous effect on the required subjects and the knowledge that high school students must take and have to be effective on the job and in college. Change in curriculum includes innovation, development, and adoption. It encompasses both planned and unplanned changes and can occur at the level of the classroom, school, or whole education system. Teachers may find that changes accompany one’s teaching from time to time. In fact, curriculum change mainly involves teachers, schools, and the community. It is expected that the associated changes are instrumental in enhancing the professional growth of both the teachers and schools involved. Changes in the curriculum thereby are assumed to be a complicated process that can be influenced by many of factors. Apart from giving an account of the basic concepts of change and curriculum implementation, this study identified various models of change. High school teachers and administrators must be diligent in their pursuit of updating, revising and adding additional curriculum, strategies of curriculum implementation. Using mixed method with the utilization of questionnaires and interview protocol as techniques for data collection, the processing of two (2) sets of data, the researcher verified and strengthened the result of the reinforcement. He, too, used the descriptive method to describe record, analyze and interpret existing conditions to manipulate nonmanipulated variables. Aimed at identifying changes and challenges provided for chances in the implementing of Senior High School (SHS) Program in SUCs in Region III revealed teachers’ coping mechanisms that called for innovativeness, flexibility, resourcefulness and strategic preparation of syllabi, course outlining and grounding of instructional materials for teaching. Administrators hand in hand with mentors made a lot of adjustments with the implementation of the new program.

Published: September 2022

Buddhism is not only a religion but also a kind of human wisdom in the impermanent life. Over thousands of years of the nation's history, Buddhism is still one of the religions with great influence on many aspects of social life. Buddhism in the Tran Dynasty unified many schools for the first time into Truc Lam Zen Buddhism and developed into its own independent sect of Vietnamese Buddhism. The philosophical thought of Zen Buddhism was increasingly developed and was not only popular in the court, but also spread widely in the world and had a great impact on society. In this paper, the author analyzes some basic content of philosophical thought in the philosophical thought of Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect, thereby pointing out some values and limitations in this school's philosophical thought.

The study explored the bereavement challenges facing middle-aged Christian widows and widowers in Effutu Municipality. The exploratory two-stage sequential mixed method research approach was used. In the first stage, interviews were conducted with nine (9) participants comprising four (4) middle-aged widows and five (5) middle-aged widowers. The cross-sectional survey design involving a purposively selected sample of 302 participants completed the questionnaire for the second stage. Study participants were married before losing their spouse, middle-aged (between 30 and 55 years), and were members of the ten selected churches with majority of middle aged- widows and widowers exhibiting symptoms of depression (Mean, S.D.=2.43 ±0.91). The results showed that middle-age Christian widows and widowers faced lots of challenges during bereavement and psychological challenge was dominant with symptoms of depression. Their depressed state was due to the fact that the loss of a partner leads to a grief process that is characterized by deep sadness, depressed mood, anxiety, and loneliness (Strobe & Hansson, 1993). The study recommends that counsellors, clinicians, churches, society and family could systematically use the bereavement challenges studied to help widows and widowers cope effectively during bereavement and subsequently improve their mental health and well-being. Government must also invest more in mental health in Ghana by working together with policy makers to formulate and implement policies that seek to eliminate all forms of discrimination against widows and widowers through awareness creation.
