This study was performed at a tertiary care centre after the approval of the Institutional Ethical Committee and obtaining written informed consent from all patients. Sixty ASA I and II, aged 18- 65yrs, bodyweight 45-70kgs scheduled for gynaecological surgeries under spinal anaesthesia were chosen for the study and were divided into two groups named Group B and Group BN each comprising 30 patients. Group B received 3ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 0.5 ml normal saline and Group BN received 3ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 0.5ml (150mcg) of buprenorphine. Vital parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, SpO2 were recorded at 0 (basal) 15, 30, 45, 90 and 180 minutes. Postoperatively heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and SP02 were monitored at 3 ,6 ,12 and 24 hrs. The mean age, height, weight, duration of surgery were comparable. Time of onset of sensory blockade and motor blockade were noted. The time for rescue medication was 909.0Â±216.9 min in group BN with a range from 690 min to 1500 min and in group B it was 412.0Â±89.28 min with a range from 130 min to 195 min. Comparing both groups duration of effective analgesia was significantly higher in group BN with P<0.0001.thus, it can be concluded that addition of buprenorphine as an adjuvant in spinal anaesthesia excellently prolongs duration of analgesia in postoperative period with minimal side effects.

BUM Desa in Banten Province has not been maximized in improving the economy of the Village community as shown by the many inactive BUM Desa. BUM Desa has not been able to create business diversification that comes from financial performance in this study, namely Return on Investment (ROI). A total of 80 BUM Desa were studied as a result of purposive sampling from a population of 688 BUM Desa in Banten Province. The criteria for selecting samples were (1) registered BUM Desa (2) BUM Desa is active, and (3) active Village BUM that has capital Ã¢Â‰Â¥ Rp. 30,000,000. This study uses explanatory and descriptive methods using data analysis tools Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The results showed that financial performance had a positive effect on the Village-Owned Enterprise Diversification stage with t-value = 4.527, p-value = 0.000 <0.05, meaning that Ha was not enough data to accept Ho and data supporting Ho was rejected. Based on the description of the results and the study shows that good financial performance means being able to generate profits from sales and total assets, as well as capital. Meanwhile, diversification can be created if the turnover of working capital occurs quickly. The faster the working capital rotates, the better the BUM Desas financial performance will be. Therefore, BUM Desa has high financial performance can diversify investment.

Makalenin amacı Özbekistan’da yaşayan İranilerin tarihini genel bir bakış açısıyla ele alıp konuyla ilgili detaylı araştırma yapmak isteyenlere yardımcı olabilmektir. Araştırma kapsamı Özbekistan İranileri ve onların tarihiyle sınırlıdır. Konu araştırılırken, Rusça ağırlıklı olmak üzere Özbekistan İranileri hakkında tarihi kaynaklarda geçen bilgilerin tahlili yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Günümüz Özbekistan topraklarında yaşayan İranilerin tarihi orta çağlara kadar uzanmaktadır. Onların “İrani” adını almasında ve bölgedeki Fars kökenli halklardan farklı görülmesinde Şîa faktörü önemli rol oynamıştır. İranilerin bölgeye genelde esir, köle olarak getirildiği anlaşılıyor. Zamanında İraniler Buhara Hanlığı’nda önemli görevler üstlenmişlerdir. Onların çoğu yerel halka karışarak Sünnileşmişken, bir kısmı belirli bölgelerde toplu halde yaşayarak ve Hanlıkta önem verilen kesim olarak inançlarını yaşayabilme ve canlandırma fırsatı yakalamışlardır. İranilerin ağırlıklı olarak Buhara ve Semerkant’ta yaşadıkları görülmektedir. Sayıları az olmakla birlikte Özbekistan’ın diğer bölge ve şehirlerinde de yaşayan İraniler vardır. Özbekistan İranileri gelinen nokta itibarıyla İranlı kardeşlerinden farklılaşmış ve pek çok yerel özellikleri benimsemişlerdir.

3 Ocak 1911’de Türkistan’da meydana gelen deprem tarihi kayıtlara göre bölgede yaşanan en şiddetli depremlerden birisidir. 8,2 büyüklüğündeki deprem bölgede büyük hasara neden oldu. Onlarca yerleşim yeri depremden etkilenirken birçok bina ya yıkıldı ya da depremden hasar gördü. Deprem onlarca insanın hayatına mal olurken arkasında da binlerce de yaralı bıraktı. Depremin bölgede bıraktığı bu etki hem dünya basınında hem de Osmanlı basınında kendisine yer buldu. Dünya basınından elde edilen bilgiler dâhilinde ilk başta Osmanlı kamuoyuna bilgi veren gazete ve dergiler için mesele kısa süre sonrasında haber değerini kaybetti. Buna karşılık Sırat-ı Müstakim Mecmuası depreme dair haberleri sürekli sütunlarına taşımakta ve Osmanlı kamuoyunu meseleye karşı duyarlı olmaya davet ederek depremzedeler için kendi imkânları ile bir yardım kampanyası başlattı. Diğer taraftan depremzedeler için Bab-ı Meşihat’te bir İane Komisyonu kurulmuş ve devlet eli ile de bir yardım kampanyası başlatılarak bölgenin gerekli ihtiyaçları karşılanmaya çalışıldı

Cadena de valor de la industria cervecera en México
Authors: Vázquez-Alfaro Marisol , Aguilar-Ávila Jorge , Palacios-Rangel María Isabel
Published: August 2021

En México, la producción de cerveza es una actividad industrial de gran relevancia, debido a la generación de empleos y a sus efectos multiplicadores en la economía. Como muestra de ello, en 2019 se produjeron 124.5 millones de hectolitros de esta bebida, lo que convirtió a México en el cuarto productor a nivel mundial. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la forma en la que se articula la cadena de valor cebada-malta-cerveza. Para esto, se examinan y describen los vínculos dados entre los actores, con énfasis en el rol que desempeñan las dos principales industrias cerveceras instaladas en el país, tanto en su ámbito de gobernanza como en sus efectos sobre los agricultores.
Metodología: Se utilizó parte de la metodología de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) para el diagnóstico de la cadena de valor, así como la metodología que propone la Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) para el análisis de las cadenas de valor alimentarias sostenibles. Se recopiló información a partir de revisión de literatura, y se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave.
Resultados: La cadena de valor de la industria cervecera en México está constituida por cinco eslabones: 1) producción primaria; 2) agrupamiento de cebada; 3) transformación, que implica obtener malta a partir de cebada y, posteriormente, procesar la malta para obtener la cerveza; 4) distribución; y 5) consumo final de cerveza. La gobernanza de la cadena estuvo centrada en dos industrias que forman un duopolio, y que, desde 2010, pasaron a formar parte del primer y segundo grupo cervecero a nivel mundial.
Conclusión: La cadena de valor cebada-malta-cerveza en México ha funcionado de forma exitosa a nivel nacional, debido a que la industria mantiene articulados de forma eficaz a la mayor parte de los actores que la conforman, lo que ha favorecido su competitividad en el ámbito internacional. No obstante, una vez consolidada la adquisición de los dos grupos cerveceros mexicanos por empresas transnacionales, se evidenció que el sector con mayor fragilidad y débil articulación a la cadena fue el de los pequeños agricultores, quienes, para vender su grano de cebada, recurren a los intermediarios.

Next-Generation Digital Biomarkers for Tuberculosis and Antibiotic Stewardship: Perspective on Novel Molecular Digital Biomarkers in Sweat, Saliva, and Exhaled Breath
Authors: Brasier Noe , Osthoff Michael , De Ieso Fiorangelo , Eckstein Jens
Published: August 2021

The internet of health care things enables a remote connection between health care professionals and patients wearing smart biosensors. Wearable smart devices are potentially affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid, robust, lab-independent, and deliverable to the end user for point-of-care testing. The datasets derived from these devices are known as digital biomarkers. They represent a novel patient-centered approach to collecting longitudinal, context-derived health insights. Adding automated, analytical smartphone applications will enable their use in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. So far, digital biomarkers have been focused primarily on accelerometer data and heart rate due to well-established sensors originating from the consumer market. Novel emerging smart biosensors will detect biomarkers (or compounds) independent of a lab and noninvasively in sweat, saliva, and exhaled breath. These molecular digital biomarkers are a promising novel approach to reduce the burden from 2 major infectious diseases with urgent unmet needs: tuberculosis and infections with multidrug resistant pathogens. Active tuberculosis (aTbc) is one of the deadliest diseases from an infectious agent. However, a simple and reliable test for its detection is still missing. Furthermore, inappropriate antimicrobial use leads to the development of antimicrobial resistance, which is associated with high mortality and health care costs. From this perspective, we discuss the innovative approach of a noninvasive and lab-independent collection of novel biomarkers to detect aTbc, which at the same time may additionally serve as a scalable therapeutic drug monitoring approach for antibiotics. These molecular digital biomarkers are next-generation digital biomarkers and have the potential to shape the future of infectious diseases.
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Education for Midwives and Nurses as Informed by Women’s Experiences: Protocol for an Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Diaz Monica Pilar , Steen Mary , Brown Angela , Fleet Julie-Anne , Williams Jan
Published: August 2021

Background

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a complex and deeply rooted sociocultural custom that is innately entrenched in the lives of those who continue its practice despite the physical and psychological dangers it perpetrates. FGM/C is considered a significant independent risk factor for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancy and childbirth. Several studies in high-income countries have explored the experiences and needs of women with FGM/C as well as the knowledge of the health professionals, particularly midwives and nurses, who care for them. However, to date, no studies have evaluated the implementation of education for health professionals in high-income countries to meet the specific needs of women with FGM/C.

Objective

This study aims to explore the impact of an FGM/C education program for midwives and nurses as informed by the experiences of women with FGM/C accessing maternity, gynecological, and sexual health services in South Australia.

Methods

This study will adopt a three-phase, exploratory sequential mixed methods design. Phase 1 will involve the exploration of women with FGM/C views and experiences accessing maternity and gynecological (including sexual health) services in South Australia. The findings from phase 1 will inform phase 2: the development of an educational program for midwives and nurses on the health and cultural needs of women with FGM/C. Phase 3 will involve the evaluation of the program by measuring midwives’ and nurses’ changes in knowledge, attitude, and practice immediately before and after the education as well as 4 months after completing the program. Phase 1 of this study has been approved by the Women’s and Children’s Health Network human research ethics committee (ID number 2021/HRE00156) and the University of South Australia human research ethics committee (ID number 204096).

Results

Phase 1 will commence in August 2021, with the interpretation of findings being undertaken by November 2021. Phase 2 will be developed and facilitated by February 2022, and the final phase of this study will begin in March 2022. This study is expected to be completed by February 2023.

Conclusions

The findings of this research will provide insight into the development and evaluation of education programs for midwives and nurses that includes collaboration with women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to address the specific cultural and health needs of communities.

Solidarity as a Regulatory Principle for Digital Technologies Used in the Pandemic Response (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Junhewk , Choi Eun Kyung
Published: August 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

In addition to existing epidemiological methods, the on-going COVID-19 pandemic requires effective approaches for controlling the disease spread. The use of digital technologies has been discussed in this context, and digital contact tracing technology (DCTT) and vaccine passport are representative examples of such technologies. Ethical discussions on the application of these technologies have noted privacy breach and undermining social trust as concerns, arguing that these two aspects should be balanced with the public benefits of technology application. Discussions of digital technologies, including DCTT, as a pandemic response have called for a new perspective on existing public health ethics. This viewpoint paper proposes that applying solidarity as a regulatory principle to digital technologies can offer ways to pursue privacy and public interest as complementary instead of competitive values. Existing studies and discussions of digital technologies in the COVID-19 context were explored, particularly those focusing on the utilization and ethical aspects of DCTT. The development of solidarity in biomedical ethics and its application to public health ethics were also considered. The conclusion was reached that the acceptability of DCTT can increase when privacy is secured, which results in increased overall effectiveness of the technology. This can be achieved by applying solidarity as a regulatory principle, which requires individuals to participate, while empowering the privacy and social trust of participating individuals at the national level. Thus, this paper presents an ethical approach based on the principle of solidarity that reciprocates the interests of individuals and the collective instead of making them compete. This approach is expected to pave the way for an extended framework for both the pandemic response and digital approaches in public health that empower privacy and social trust.

Intro
The Social Construction of Defect Personal Stories of Emotions in Eating Disorders
Authors: Moen Hilde Berit
Published: August 2021

This article explores episodes characterized by overwhelming emotions in Eating Disorders (ED). In ED, emotions and symptoms are connected. The mentalizing perspective understands eating disordered symptoms as a form of regulation of painful emotions and as indicative of a reduced ability to attend to mental states in oneself and others (impaired mentalizing). However, the interpersonal and emotional processes associated with impaired mentalizing are insufficiently attended to in research. Based on interviews with eating disordered patients, this article analyses stories of everyday episodes portrayed as emotionally overwhelming. The results of this analysis establish that a wide array of emotions or emotional experiences are activated, the most prominent being inadequacy, anger, discomfort, fear, and sadness. Episodes are typically “multi-emotional”, characterized by a variety of emotional constellations. The findings do not indicate that eating disordered patients generally have difficulty identifying emotions. Eating disordered symptoms are therefore discussed as a form of defense. The episodes described typically instigate the activation of eating disordered symptoms. Furthermore, the episodes are predominantly social, with other people present, whether physically or in mind. In conclusion, the article discusses the implications of the findings to the understanding of eating disorders and treatment.

El objetivo del trabajo fue describir el nivel de riesgo a la salud mental en función de las condiciones socioeconómicas y las relacionadas con la pandemia por COVID19. Se trabajó con 15,335 personas mexicanas, (M= 26 años, DE=11.95), 52% solteras (8,001), 60% mujeres (9,175), 44% en cuarentena (6,769). Se utilizó un estudio correlacional causal exposfacto utilizando la WebApp para la detección de riesgos a la Salud Mental COVID19 (Alfa de Cronbach de 0.96; varianza explicada del 62%) programado con Linux®, PHP®, HTML®, CSS®, y JavaScript®; constituido por: 1) condición por COVID-19, 2) condición socioeconómica, 3) salud mental, y 4) uso de drogas y violencia. Las variables latentes se derivan de 104 iteraciones con 102 parámetros (t[496] = 387077.84, p=.000), un CFI = 0.932, un TLI = 0.920, un RMSEA = 0.064 (0.063 – 0.064) y un SRMR = 0.047. Los resultados indicaron que la evitación predijo estrés agudo, este la ansiedad de salud; ésta la ansiedad generalizada/tristeza, somatización; y ésta el distanciamiento/enojo en las personas. Ser mujer, estar desempleada (o), tener menos de 29 o más de 65 años, permanecer en cuarentena, tener síntomas COVID19, y reportar comorbilidad física o depresión, se asociaron con los riesgos a la salud mental.

Authors: Chavira Trujillo Gabriel , Celis de la Rosa Alfredo
Published: August 2021

Introducción: Evaluar la personalidad es cada vez más necesario dentro de diferentes áreas de investigación. A pesar de que existen varias opciones para la evaluación del modelo de los cinco factores; existen pocos estudios que reporten las características en población Latinoamericana. Objetivo: El presente estudio presenta un análisis de las propiedades psicométricas del inventario de los cinco factores de personalidad (BFI, por sus siglas en ingles) que evalúa la personalidad siguiendo del modelo de los cinco grandes. Resultados: Los resultados muestran una adecuada fiabilidad (α = .78) de la prueba. La evaluación de la validez exploratoria y confirmatoria sugiere la que el instrumento se puede usar en población mexicana, pero surge la necesidad de revisar algunos ítems que son culturalmente equivalentes, así como el factor Agradabilidad y las asociaciones entre factores que pudiera obedecer a factores culturales. Discusión: La incorporación de metodologías robustas que consideran la naturaleza ordinal de las escalas Likert, como el análisis factorial con la incorporación del intercepto aleatorio; permiten mejorar el ajuste de los modelos sin alterar la estructura de las covarianzas ni usar los estimadores para ajustar las covarianzas. Es necesaria mayor investigación en población mexicana.

Abstract: Sodic land is one of the major problems that has become an extensive challenge in today’s scenario, which act as a threat to global food productivity. Detrimental climatic changes are acting as a catalyst in the development of soil salinity, thereby increasing the problem in the upcoming future and ultimately effects the unaffected areas. This paper aims to integrate information from previously published literature about the extent, expansion rate, prevailing situation and current policies for handling soil sodicity as well as evaluating the sustainability of reclaimed sodic land. Since Sodic land reclamation has been done in the Indo-Gangetic region on a great extent in many states namely Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana in India. Although, in some areas, the reversion of reclamation has been reported. Therefore, this study has been done in one of the reclaimed sites of district Raebareli of Uttar Pradesh for sustainability assessment of sodic land using remote sensing, Geographic Information system (GIS) and necessary ground information. It was found that the villages of Singhpur and Tiloi blocks of Raebareli district were greatly affected by sodicity and had shown large extent of sodicity and reversion. Keywords: Raebareli district, Sodic areas, Remote sensing, Reclamation strategies, GPS.

Abstract: Transportation is an essential component for the infrastructure of all the countries. The economy and economic status of any country is determined by its network of roads, railways, waterways, airways, pipes and ports. . In the northern areas of our country, roads are the most important source of connectivity. Due to cold weather conditions which include factors like snow, rain, frost, and these roads suffer excessive damage and thus hamper the movement of people as well as goods across these parts of the country. To improve the conditions of the road connectivity in such areas huge amount of money is being invested, but the end results don’t come as satisfactory as they should come. To prevent the damage to these roads by such factors no particular method has been developed. Use of plastic in bituminous mixes can be of importance in curbing the excess damage to roads in cold weather conditions. Waste plastic roads have been used in some parts of the country with a varying degree of success. Waste plastic roads have various advantages over normal roads which can be of great importance in these parts of the country. Keywords: Subzero Temperature, roads, design, waste plastic, bitumen.

Terdapat lebih dari 3.900.000 kasus positif terinfeksi virus corona di seluruh dunia dan telah menelan korban jiwa lebih dari 270.000 jiwa. Indonesia sebagai negara dengan kepadatan penduduk nomor empat di dunia diperkirakan akan mendapat pengaruh yang sangat signifikan dan dalam periode waktu yang mungkin lebih lama dari negara lain karena tingkat disiplin yang masih kurang. Dampak pandemi ini ternyata tidak saja pada dunia kesehatan, tetapi juga sangat mempengaruhi seluruh aspek kehidupan masyarakat. Saat ini, masyarakat dianjurkan untuk melakukan social distancing, dimana kegiatan belajar, bekerja, dan beribadah dilakukan di rumah. Selain itu, anjuran tentang protocol kesehatan dari WHO (World Health Organization) seperti rajin mencuci tangan, menjaga kesehatan dan kebersihan serta selalu mengenakan masker apabila harus keluar rumah juga terus menerus digaungkan. Hal ini tentu berdampak pada kondisi ekonomi masyarakat secara umum, di mana banyak masyarakat dirumahkan karena perusahaan tempat mereka bekerja telah berhenti beroperasi baik secara temporer maupun permanen dengan adanya pandemi ini. Salah satu industri yang sangat terdampak oleh pandemi adalah industri pariwisata, dimana didalamnya terdapat sektor akomodasi wisata atau perhotelan. Sektor ini secara umum didominasi oleh perusahaan besar baik dalam negeri maupun milik asing, sektor perhotelan lumpuh beberapa bulan terakhir.

Introduction. Following any war, the destruction of cities causes severe damage to the lives of citizens, so urban planning and accelerating the process of renovation and development of a city is the priority of every country after the war, in order to reduce the damage caused by war. Since then, citizens can resume their normal living in their hometowns. The process of urban renovation and development takes a long time, and the main urban indicators should be regularly evaluated in different dimensions to find out whether the living environment has improved and the preset urban goals have been achieved.

Materials and methods. In this study, the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs was analyzed by evaluating the pre-selected social and economic indicators. The sign test and the Wilcoxon test were used to evaluate and compare the indicators before and after the war.

Results. The results of the research show that the null hypothesis of this research was rejected with a z-value of –3.137916 and a p-value of 0.002 in respect of the social dimension. Also, the zero hypothesis of this research is rejected in the economic dimension according to the results of the Wilcoxon test. The results show that the z-value is equal to –2.075 and the p-value is equal to 0.038, which is less than 0.50 and, hence, insignificant. The rejection of the null hypothesis and the large number of negative indicators in the social dimension indicate that the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs is very slow after the war and the city has not been able to approach the desired stable condition.

Conclusions. This research has found that only 11 indicators out of 45 improved in the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs after the war if compared to the pre-war period. In fact, more than 75 % of selected indicators were negative, and this shows the slow pace of urban renovation and development with an emphasis on the sustainable city of Homs.
