Authors: Piedad Melanie D. , Natividad Lexter
Published: August 2024

Natural product chemistry plays a pivotal role in drug discovery and development. This study investigated the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant capacities of three prominent Philippine plants: Blue ternate (Clitoria ternatea), Kantutay (Lantana camara), and Katuray (Sesbania grandiflora). The primary aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment of their bioactive constituents and evaluate their potential for pharmacological applications. Phytochemical screening identified a diverse array of compounds, including flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, terpenoids, and other major chemical constituent classes, highlighting their therapeutic potential. The pigment analysis revealed substantial variations, with Blue ternate exhibiting the highest concentration, suggesting it as a promising source of carotenoids. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and chlorophyll analysis further revealed distinct compound profiles. Total Phenolic Content (TPC) analysis and the DPPH radical scavenging method marked Blue ternate to have the highest phenolic content and the most potent antioxidant activity among the plant samples. These findings collectively emphasize the significant therapeutic potential of these plants, warranting further exploration for pharmaceutical development.

Published: August 2024

As a pathogenicity factor in some microorganisms, sialidase is a key target for inactivation, as this would have curative and preventive effects on various diseases. Significant results are already achieved with viral sialidase inhibitors, while such studies on bacterial enzymes are scarce. Pure natural compounds representing phenols and flavonoids, were tested for their inhibitory effect on sialidases from Vibrio cholerae non-O1, Arthrobacter nicotianae and Oerskovia paurometabola. All three enzymes were isolated, purified beforehand and stored under suitable conditions. Quinic and gallic acids showed the highest inhibitory activity - 76 to 100% against the three sialidases. Fisetin had a significant inhibitory activity on two of the enzymes. The structurally related thymol and thymoquinone exerted from 80 to 100% inhibition on at least one of the enzymes. Catechin and rutin had significant inhibitory activity, varying from 49 to 100%, on some of the enzymes. Quercetin, known for its inhibitory effect on viral sialidases, had a lesser impact on the studied enzymes. The suppressive effect of quinic acid, rutin and fisetin on bacterial sialidases is observed for the first time.

Published: August 2024

Background

Technology has become an integral part of our everyday life, and its use to manage and study health is no exception. Romantic partners play a critical role in managing chronic health conditions as they tend to be a primary source of support.

Objective

This study tests the feasibility of using commercial wearables to monitor couples’ unique way of communicating and supporting each other and documents the physiological correlates of interpersonal dynamics (ie, heart rate linkage).

Methods

We analyzed 617 audio recordings of 5-minute duration (384 with concurrent heart rate data) and 527 brief self-reports collected from 11 couples in which 1 partner had type II diabetes during the course of their typical daily lives. Audio data were coded by trained raters for social support. The extent to which heart rate fluctuations were linked among couples was quantified using cross-correlations. Random-intercept multilevel models explored whether cross-correlations might differ by social contexts and exchanges.

Results

Sixty percent of audio recordings captured speech between partners and partners reported personal contact with each other in 75% of self-reports. Based on the coding, social support was found in 6% of recordings, whereas at least 1 partner self-reported social support about half the time (53%). Couples, on average, showed small to moderate interconnections in their heart rate fluctuations (r=0.04-0.22). Couples also varied in the extent to which there was lagged linkage, that is, meaning that changes in one partner’s heart rate tended to precede changes in the other partner’s heart rate. Exploratory analyses showed that heart rate linkage was stronger (1) in rater-coded partner conversations (vs moments of no rater-coded partner conversations: rdiff=0.13; P=.03), (2) when partners self-reported interpersonal contact (vs moments of no self-reported interpersonal contact: rdiff=0.20; P<.001), and (3) when partners self-reported social support exchanges (vs moments of no self-reported social support exchange: rdiff=0.15; P=.004).

Conclusions

Our study provides initial evidence for the utility of using wearables to collect biopsychosocial data in couples managing a chronic health condition in daily life. Specifically, heart rate linkage might play a role in fostering chronic disease management as a couple. Insights from collecting such data could inform future technology interventions to promote healthy lifestyle engagement and adaptive chronic disease management.

Published: August 2024

Background

The field of mental health technology presently has significant gaps that need addressing, particularly in the domain of daily monitoring and personalized assessments. Current noninvasive devices such as wristbands and smartphones are capable of collecting a wide range of data, which has not yet been fully used for mental health monitoring.

Objective

This study aims to introduce a novel dataset for personalized daily mental health monitoring and a new macro-micro framework. This framework is designed to use multimodal and multitask learning strategies for improved personalization and prediction of emotional states in individuals.

Methods

Data were collected from 298 individuals using wristbands and smartphones, capturing physiological signals, speech data, and self-annotated emotional states. The proposed framework combines macro-level emotion transformer embeddings with micro-level personalization layers specific to each user. It also introduces a Dynamic Restrained Uncertainty Weighting method to effectively integrate various data types for a balanced representation of emotional states. Several fusion techniques, personalization strategies, and multitask learning approaches were explored.

Results

The proposed framework was evaluated using the concordance correlation coefficient, resulting in a score of 0.503. This result demonstrates the framework’s efficacy in predicting emotional states.

Conclusions

The study concludes that the proposed multimodal and multitask learning framework, which leverages transformer-based techniques and dynamic task weighting strategies, is superior for the personalized monitoring of mental health. The study indicates the potential of transforming daily mental health monitoring into a more personalized app, opening up new avenues for technology-based mental health interventions.
Cutaneous Adverse Effects From Diabetes Devices in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic Review
Authors: Podwojniak Alicia , Flemming Joseph , Tan Isabella J , Ghani Hira , Neubauer Zachary , Jones Anne
Published: August 2024

Background

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSIIs) are the current standard treatment devices for type 1 diabetes (T1D) management. With a high prevalence of T1D beginning in pediatrics and carrying into adulthood, insufficient glycemic control leads to poor patient outcomes. Dermatologic complications such as contact dermatitis, lipodystrophies, and inflammatory lesions are among those associated with CGM and CSII, which reduce glycemic control and patient compliance.

Objective

This systematic review aims to explore the current literature surrounding dermatologic complications of CGM and CSII as well as the impact on patient outcomes.

Methods

A systematic review of the literature was carried out using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 guidelines using 5 online databases. Included articles were those containing primary data relevant to human participants and adverse reactions to CGM and CSII devices in pediatric populations, of which greater than 50% of the sample size were aged 0‐21 years. Qualitative analysis was chosen due to the heterogeneity of outcomes.

Results

Following the application of exclusion criteria, 25 studies were analyzed and discussed. An additional 5 studies were identified after the initial search and inclusion. The most common complication covered is contact dermatitis, with 13 identified studies. Further, 7 studies concerned lipodystrophies, 5 covered nonspecific cutaneous changes, 3 covered unique cutaneous findings such as granulomatous reactions and panniculitis, and 2 discussed user acceptability.

Conclusions

The dermatologic complications of CGM and CSII pose a potential risk to long-term glycemic control in T1D, especially in young patients where skin lesions can lead to discontinuation. Increased manufacturer transparency is critical and further studies are needed to expand upon the current preventative measures such as device site rotation and steroid creams, which lack consistent effectiveness.

Authors: Eliska Eliska , Dur Sajaratud
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the highest cause of death due to non-communicable diseases in Indonesia. This condition is certainly very worrying, because the trend of NCDs is increasing followed by a shift in disease patterns, where previously NCDs were experienced by the elderly group, are now starting to threaten younger age groups. Public awareness of NCD risk factors needs to be increased. This requires community participation in PTM (penyakit tidak menular) integrated development activities (Posbindu). Posbindu PTM is an activity for early detection and monitoring of the main risk factors for PTM through community participation. The aim of this activity is cadre training and the establishment of a mesque-based Posbindu PTM. Methods: The method used is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). The ABCD method is a service method that focuses on the strengths and capacities of local communities. The establishment of the PTM Posbindu was carried out at the Aisyah Abdul Latif Farah Mosque, Namorambe District, Deli Serdang Regency. There were 10 cadres recruited at Posbindu PTM Mosque. Results: The results of the establishment of the mask-based PTM Posbindu are expected to be able to detect PTM risk factors as early as possible and reduce the number of PTM congregants at mosques in particular and society in general. Conclusion: The socialization and formation of the mosque-based Posbindu PTM received positive support from the Deli Serdang Health Service and the Aisyah Abdul Latif Farah Mosque.
A Metaphorical Exploration of Landscape Writing in Literature: Transformations and Claims from Natural Scenery to Mindscapes
Authors: Wang Kemei
Published: August 2024

He is an important writer in modern Chinese literature, and a special writer who showed a different path of creation when revolutionary literature dominated the world in the 1930s, and his research has been increasing in the academic circles since the 1980s. In this paper, we take the writer's representative regional world, namely the world of Xiangxi, as the center, and introduce the principle of "landscape" of Japanese scholar Kojin karatani to explore the inevitability of his creation against the trend from the three aspects of discovery, construction, and the demands behind the landscape. By analyzing this kind of landscape writing as a metaphor, this paper aims to reveal the literary pursuits and national sentiments behind it, to provoke readers to think about the possibility of an alternative path of rural development in the 1930s, and to enrich the imagination of modern Chinese literature about the landscape of writing in the 1930s. This study not only helps us to recognize the unique value and contribution of those non-mainstream literary works more comprehensively, but also provides an important perspective for refining how modern Chinese literature has integrated into the world literary landscape and contributed to the unique "Chinese experience".

Published: August 2024

La fermentación ácido-láctica (FAL) de la papaya es una estrategia biotecnológica que, aunque tiene mucho potencial, ha sido poco estudiada. Sin embargo, puede ser de interés para una serie de oportunidades en diversas industrias, transformando este fruto en un recurso valioso. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión se enfoca en el impacto de la capacidad antioxidante, los beneficios para la salud y la valorización de los subproductos de la papaya a través de la FAL. La FAL es una estrategia para promover el incremento de la concentración de compuestos antioxidantes, como los compuestos fenólicos en la papaya. Las bacterias ácido lácticas (BAL) liberan y modifican estos compuestos durante la fermentación, lo que potencialmente mejora su capacidad antioxidante. Los productos generados de la FAL de la papaya han demostrado posibles efectos antihipercolesterolémicos, propiedades antivirales y la producción de hidrolizados de proteínas con potencial antioxidante. Las hojas, cáscaras y desechos de la papaya se pueden revalorizar, utilizando la FAL como proceso de extracción de compuestos bioactivos de interés para la industria farmacéutica, cosmética o alimentaria. La papaya es una buena fuente de fibra y azúcares simples y dada la gran diversidad de BAL, es factible el desarrollo de prebióticos y selección de posibles probióticos adaptados a medios vegetales. Si bien se han realizado avances significativos en la comprensión de sus beneficios para la salud y la valorización de los subproductos, se necesita más investigación para abarcar completamente su alcance y desarrollar productos específicos.

“Common Good” and “Loyalty to the State” Section: Discussions About Border Clause to Fundamental Rights and Freedoms in Estonian Constitution of 1937
Authors:   Kate-Hamburger Kolleg, Siimets-Gross Hesi ,   University of Tartu
Published: August 2024

In comparison to the Estonian Constitution of 1920, in the Estonian of 1937, the basic rights were restricted to a greater extent, in particular through its general orientation and attitude. A particular part in it was performed by the “loyalty to the state” section (§ 8), being a general border clause. The article analyses the contemporary discussions at the drafting of the section. Firstly, it contained a “common good” clause, which was at the time used in Nazi Germany to restrict person’s rights and interpret law. Despite of the authoritarian state, the desire to limit arbitrariness of the state as much as possible is eminent in the debates.

Published: August 2024

La educación que trasciende en áreas específicas y disciplinas aparentemente especializadas en las ejecuciones del sujeto con el Otro, surge si se prioriza el uso de la transferencia como motor de la educación autónoma y autodeterminante, generándose en las áreas especializadas, en la que se crea espacios de escucha donde el educando pueda hacer conocer sus demandas educativas. La presente investigación refiere que la educación cristiana se ha instaurado como una alternativa para satisfacer las demandas educativas que van quedando de esa imposibilidad que se introduce en la educación, en la que se llega a sostener un discurso religioso como respuesta a ese síntoma educativo en el desarrollo mismo del acto educativo, donde el lenguaje religioso y la fe cristiana en concreto, se manifiestan en un vínculo de particularidades unidas íntimamente a elementos poderosos del mundo afectivo. Se estableció una metodología fenomenológica-hermenéutica, por el enfoque de la investigación, el cual es cualitativo, en la que se referenció la parte teórica, con teorías y ópticas de diferentes psicoanalistas, pasados y actuales, que han aportado con enfoques que tienen que ver con las variables de la investigación.

The Effect of Rice Husk Ash as Cement Substitution on the Compressive Strength of Self-Compacting Concrete
Authors: Putri Prima Yane , Kamil Insannul , Rizandi Alfin
Published: August 2024

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an innovative solution in today's world of concrete technology. Unlike traditional concrete, it does not require a vibrator for compaction, which makes concrete work easier. One of the key features of SCC is its high workability, which is achieved through the use of chemical admixtures and mineral additives. Rice husk ash is one such additive that can be used as a pozzolanic material for concrete mixtures, which is important as rice husk waste can cause environmental problems. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of rice husk ash on SCC concrete. The study involved using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a partial replacement for cement in SCC concrete at varying percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of cement weight). The results of the slump flow test showed that the highest value of 775 mm was achieved at 15% RHA, meeting the specifications of SCC concrete. In terms of compressive strength, the results showed that the SCC mixture without rice husk ash (0% RHA) had the highest average compressive strength, which was 30.56 MPa at 14 days and 31.66 MPa at 28 days of concrete. On the other hand, the average compressive strength of SCC concrete with rice husk ash mixture was highest at 5% RHA, with 25.04 MPa at 14 days and 28.81 MPa at 28 days. Overall, the study found that the use of rice husk ash in SCC concrete had a significant effect on its compressive strength, with the highest compressive strength being achieved at 5% RHA.

Published: August 2024

The fire of a building will have a major impact on the building owner, both in the form of material, moral and environmental losses. In residential areas, offices and other public facilities often cause casualties. Therefore, a building needs to take into account the risk of fire so that building users can carry out activities safely and comfortably. One of the causes of fires is the fire suppression system that has not received full attention, where there is often an inadequate building fire protection system. The UNP Library Building is one of the public facilities buildings that are always crowded with students. It is necessary to evaluate the availability of the fire protection system to ensure the safety and comfort of its users. This research is in the form of an evaluation of the availability and completeness of the available fire protection systems and their remedies against the threat of fire. The data was taken through direct observation and question and answer and the distribution of questionnaires with the library.

The background to the research that will be carried out is that the large amount of standing water on the road pavement in each rainy season results in disturbances to motorists' comfort. This is due to impermeable road pavement and poor drainage along the road. Porous asphalt can increase rainwater absorption, thereby reducing puddles on the road surface. Porous asphalt is a new breakthrough in the world of road pavement to reduce the appearance of puddles of water when it rains. Porous asphalt is also designed to have high porosity so that water can flow through side channels and a waterproof base layer to prevent water from seeping into the subbase layer and road body so as to minimize puddles of water on the road surface which often occur after rain and disrupt the smooth flow of traffic. cross. Advances in road pavement technology have encouraged researchers to conduct research using palm shell ash (fly ash) as a filler in porous asphalt mixtures. The use of palm shell ash is expected to increase the stability value and have large cavities so that water can pass through the road surface, as well as to reduce palm oil waste in Indonesia. The objectives of this research are 1. To find out the optimum asphalt content value in porous asphalt mixtures, 2. To know the results of using palm shell ash at 0%, 1% and 2% as a filler for porous asphalt mixtures in flexible road pavement. The research method is Marshall and Permeability Testing. The tests that will be carried out on a laboratory scale use an AC-WC hot mix asphalt system with guidance, namely the basics of asphalt concrete road construction. The research results showed that by adding palm shell ash as a filler in making AC-WC type porous asphalt, it showed that the stability value was higher, while the permeability value was lower, meaning that the addition of palm shell ash to the porous asphalt mixture did not have a significant effect because it was smaller. air voids in the mixture. The addition of palm shell ash to the porous asphalt mixture increases the stability value which can increase the ability of road construction to accept loads, but the pavement layer is not permeable and water flows over the surface more slowly.

Lipasin, a hormone found in the liver and adipose tissue, is involved in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. Lipasin levels in plasma are controlled by food and rise after glucose consumption. Because plasma glucose and insulin levels both rise after eating, we wanted to know if the rise in plasma insulin sensitivity, or both, is to blame for the rise in lipasin levels. According to this study, the patient group's lipasin concentration increased significantly (p-value˂ 0.05) in comparison to the control group, and the area under the curve (AUC) for lipasin was 75.75 %. As well, the levels of insulin and glucose and also for the BMI there was a significant difference (p- value˂ 0.05) between the studied groups. The results emphasize that Lipasin may play a crucial role in T2DM development.

Parasitic diseases caused by soil-transmitted helminths are significant diseases of humans and livestock, that only about the human population, affect about one third of the world’s people.These parasites passing some parts of their life cycle in the soil and then transfer from soil to new host. The primary goal of current study was to determine the rate of soil contamination by intestinal helminthic parasites in soil samples ghatered from children play areas in Soran city and suburbs. Sixty soil samples were collected randomly and examined by floatation technique. By applying NaNO3 solution, helminth forms were found in (40%) of urban samples while (33.3%) of them were positive by using sugar solution. Flotation by NaNO3 solution and sugar solution showed that (73.3%) and (53.3%) of rural samples were contaminated respectively. The predominant parasite species detected in the examined soil samples were Taenia spp. and Ascaris spp. This study demonstrated high level of soil contamination in both urban and rural play areas thus there is a serious threat and risk for acquiring helminth infection for children who use these areas.
