Authors: Indriani Suci , Adiarto Suko , Andriantoro Hananto , Sunu Ismoyo , Siddiq Taofan , Dakota Iwan
Published: March 2021

Background

Management of acute limb ischemia (ALI) is still a huge challenge. Current advances of endovascular therapeutic approach in management of ALI have decreased the overall amputation rate, nevertheless, mortality rate remains high which may be caused by metabolic consequences of reperfusion injury.

Aim

To understand the role of vitamin E to intra-hospital and 30-day mortality among acute limb ischemia patients.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included all patients with ALI between 2015 to 2018. Vitamin E 2x400 mg orally for seven days was given based on physician preference after ALI diagnosis was confirmed. Data were collected from Vascular Registries of National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK), Jakarta, Indonesia. Univariate analysis and logistic regression models were used to explore factors that contribute to intra-hospital and 30-day mortality.

Results                                       

A total of 160 patients with ALI involving 192 limbs were admitted to our hospital. Mostly were male (63.1%) and mean age were 56±13 years old. Majority of the patients had unilateral lesion (80%), and were diagnosed with Rutherford stage IIA (36.3%), followed by stage IIB (33.8%), stage I (20%), and stage III (10%) respectively. Intra-hospital and 30-day mortality were 28.1% and 36.9%, respectively. Low treatment of vitamin E increased intra-hospital mortality (HR 5,6 95%CI 1.7-18.3), however, it did not affect 30-day mortality. Other factors including IABP insertion, arrhythmia, bleeding requiring transfusion and acute renal failure were associated with higher intra-hospital and 30-day mortality. In addition, menopause (HR 3.2; CI 1.16-8.85) was also a predictor of 30-day mortality.

Conclusion

Vitamin E administration reduced intra-hospital mortality but not on 30-day mortality in acute limb ischemia patients.

The National University of Mongolia, the Mongolian State University of Education, the University of Nebraska, and the University of Kansas conducted four collaborative expeditions between 2010 and 2014, resulting in accounts for all species of lacertid and agamid, except Phrynocephalus kulagini. These expeditions resulted in a range extension for Eremias arguta and the collection of specimens and tissues across 134 unique localities. In this paper we summarize the species of the Agamidae (Paralaudakia stoliczkana, Ph. hispidus, Ph. helioscopus, and Ph. versicolor) and Lacertidae (E. argus, E. arguta, E. dzungarica, E. multiocellata, E. przewalskii, and E. vermiculata) that were collected during these four expeditions. Further, we provide a summary of all species within these two families in Mongolia. Finally, we discuss issues of Wallacean and Linnaean shortfalls for the herpetofauna of the Mongolian Gobi Desert, and provide future directions for studies of community assemblages and population genetics of reptile species in the region.
On the Russian-German Hepetological Connections between St. Petersburg and Bonn — a Personal View
Authors: Böhme Wolfgang
Published: March 2021

The zoological relationships between the Zoological Institute and the Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (ZISP), and the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum A. Koenig, Bonn (ZFMK), started with Alexander Koenig who was born in St. Petersburg in 1858. Together with his family he moved to Bonn in 1867 where he later became an ornithologist who founded his own zoological museum in this city in 1912. 11 years after his death (1940), a herpetological department was founded, and a close cooperation between the herpetology departments of his museum and that of his home city began to develop, first only by correspondence. In 1981 a first personal contact became possible in Budapest and could be intensified after 1988 by several mutual visits to St. Petersburg and Bonn, respectively. Further contacts happened during congresses, primarily those of the European Herpetological Society (SEH) where representatives of both institutions served also as presidents. Scientific contacts culminated in two well-attended international symposia on agamid lizards in both cities.

Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication.

Houston, we Have a Pandemic: Technical Difficulties, Distractions and Online Student Engagement
Authors: Kostaki Dimitra , Karayianni Irene
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a massive shift to remote education, as college students rely on technology to attend class and interact with instructors and peers, while possibly facing technical and situational difficulties at home. Considering the unprecedented situation, the purpose of the present study was to explore student engagement in a small private, American college in Greece during the COVID-19 pandemic, where classes were transitioned mid-semester to synchronous online. It was hypothesized that student engagement would be negatively correlated with both technical difficulties and home distractions. Moreover, we investigated whether computer self-efficacy would mediate the former relationship. The survey sample consisted of 78 undergraduate students, recruited online. Participants completed scales on online student engagement, technical difficulties, home distractions and computer self-efficacy, as well as two exploratory open-ended questions on their attitudes towards online classes. Student engagement was negatively correlated with both technical difficulties and home distractions, while computer self-efficacy mediated the relationship between student engagement and technical difficulties. Students reported that what they enjoyed most in e-classes were the exact aspects that interfered with their learning and engagement. The most commonly reported concern in online courses was impaired concentration and technical issues, while flexibility, time efficiency and home comfort were the aspects that students enjoyed most. The study aims to shed light on engagement in remote learning, as online classes may eventually become an integral component of higher education after the return to a so-called new normality. Suggestions to improve student engagement based on the findings are provided.

Indonesia mempunyai beberapa agama yangdiakui oleh negara. Negara menjamin kebebasandalam menjalankan agama masing-masing. Dalamberagama, masing-masing pemeluknya akan menampakkan simbol-simbol agamanya bahkansaat berpakaian dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Saatbersekolah misalnya, sebagian siswa terkadangterbiasa memakai peci dan jilbab, karena peci danjilbab ini telah dibiasakan di rumahnya dan sangatberuntung jika sekolahnya juga mengatur dengankebijakan demikian, karena di dalam berpakaianjuga terdapat pendidikan akhlak dan etika.Yang menjadi permasalahan sosial beragamaadalah jika ada seorang muslim yang belajar disekolah non-muslim, apakah muslim tersebut harusmengikuti simbol atribut agama non-muslim sesuaidengan aturan yang dibuat oleh sekolah?Bagaimana hubungan antara toleransi beragamadengan pakaian simbol agama? Apakah dia akannyaman dalam berinteraksi dengan yang lain tanpamenggunakan pakaian simbol agama tersebut?Apakah Toleransi akan terwujud jika atribut agamadihilangkan?Di sisi lain Umat Islam sedang berjuang untukmemperbaiki diri dengan menggunakan Hijab.Inilah yang seharusnya dipahami oleh pembuatregulasi bahwa pendidikan karakter berbangsayang harus diprioritaskan bukan memisahkanantara hak asasi manusia dengan hubungan persaudaraan berbangsa dan bertanah air. Ini yangmenjadi usaha pemikiran yang keras untuk mencarisolusi dalam menjaga hak asasi manusia, menjagapersatuan dan menjaga persaudaraan sebangsadan setanah air.Ajaran Islam telah mengatur konsepberpakaian yang standar nilainya menyeluruh danmendunia, berpakaian yang sopan, bersih danmenutup aurat adalah konsep pakaian islami baikdalam beribadah ataupun di luar ibadah.Berpakaian ini merupakan pendidikan etika atauadab kepada manusia dan kepada Allah SWT.Seharusnya pendidikan toleransi umat beragamaitu diwujudkan dengan pendidikan karakterkebangsaan, bukan memisahkan antara simbolatribut agama dengan hak asasi manusia, karenadengan membuat regulasi ini, maka akanmenimbulkan permasalahan baru di kemudianhari
Repetition detection and rapid auditory learning for stochastic tone clouds
Authors: Agus Trevor , Pressnitzer Daniel
Published: March 2021

Stochastic sounds are useful to probe auditory memory, as they require listeners to learn unpredictable and novel patterns under controlled experimental conditions. Previous studies using white noise or random click trains have demonstrated rapid auditory learning for instances of such a class of sounds. Here, we tested stochastic sounds that enabled parametrical control of spectrotemporal complexity: tone clouds. Tone clouds were defined as broadband combinations of tone pips at randomized frequencies and onset times. Varying the density of tones covered a perceptual range from random melodies to noise. Results showed that listeners could detect repeating patterns in tone clouds at all tested densities, with sparse tone clouds being the easiest. A model estimating amplitude modulation within cochlear filters showed that repetition detection was correlated with the amount of amplitude modulation at lower rates. Rapid learning of individual tone clouds was also observed, again for all densities. Tone clouds thus provide a tool to probe auditory learning in a variety of task-difficulty settings, which could be useful for clinical or neurophysiological studies. They also show that rapid auditory learning operates over the full range of spectrotemporal complexity typical of natural sounds, essentially from melodies to noise.
"My story is not my own”: A qualitative analysis of personal and collective continuity
Authors: Haraldsson Kristin Gudbjorg , McLean Kate C.
Published: March 2021

The concept of personal continuity is central to most theories of identity development, and one way it can be established is through the development of narrative identity. Narrative identity is represented by a story that is built through processes of autobiographical reasoning about the past, present, and future self. Building on the substantial literature focused on individual processes of personal reflection, the present study expands beyond the examination of the individual to explore the role that socio-cultural groups, and their shared narratives, play in personal continuity. In a qualitative and descriptive study, 13 adult children of immigrants, aged 18-52, were interviewed about their personal stories, the stories of their parents, and of their social group. Social constructivist grounded theory was used to analyze the interviews to examine the relationship between personal continuity and these three levels of narrative. Participants employed three different larger narrative structures to make sense of their own experiences in a larger context: The American Immigrant Story, The Origin Story, and The American Ethnic Minority Story. Each story differed in the focus on continuity between past and present versus present and future, as well as in the socialization agents for each story (i.e., family or peers). Overall, participants can create a sense of personal continuity by seeing themselves as part of a larger, continuously developing group narrative, though there are variations in how this is accomplished. Implications include the role of group narratives in personal identity development.
Understanding Dyslexia: A Review of Contemporary Neuropsychological Theories and Cognitive-Behavioral Evidence
Authors: Barakat Rita
Published: March 2021

Dyslexia is one of the most common reading disorders observed in children and adults across the world, yet it is also one of the most challenging for clinicians to diagnose and treat. The obstacles associated with detecting dyslexia and intervening with appropriate remediation therapies early in development largely stem from the heterogeneity of symptom presentation, complicated further by the delayed timeline for acquiring literacy. Over the last several decades and until recently, neuropsychologists and linguists alike have posited numerous theories and models to aid in understanding the underlying causes of dyslexia. The following review presents a selection of the leading theories for explaining dyslexia from the behavioral literature, as well as the cognitive-behavioral evidence that supports these theories. In addition, a brief exploration of the genetic factors influencing dyslexia is covered, as well as a number of key findings from neuroimaging research that demonstrate specific neuroanatomical and functional perturbations which may serve as predictors of dyslexia in pre-literate children.
Perception of Organizational Politics and its Impact on Job Performance
Authors: Shrestha Prakash
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to examine the understanding of organizational politics and its impact on the job performance of Nepal's civil service employees. The research design adopted in this study consists of a descriptive and causal-comparative research design. Based on a multi-stage random sampling, 250 civil servants in five ministries of the Nepal Government were selected as sample. The response rate was 76.40 percent. The findings of this research indicate that strong organizational politics exist at government offices. Mainly, over politics exist in the case of pay and promotion policies. Likewise, going along to get ahead and general political behavior are also common at these offices. The job performance level, however, was found at an average level. The inferential results indicate that there is a significant negative impact of organizational politics (in terms of going along to get ahead, pay and promotion policies, and general political behavior) on the job performance of employees. Therefore, leaders and administrators of ministries and other government offices need to keep an eye open in such realities and try to reduce unnecessary politics at workplaces so that the civil servants can focus on delivering effective services to the general public.

The study primarily looks upon the areas of skills and expertise of elderly and their ability to generate employment based on their own experiences. The study was done in Mandandeupur Municipality of Kavre, where 106 elderly were interviewed regarding their knowledge and experiences, skill transfer and its benefits for younger generation. The study also examines the current status of elderly in the society as well as their economic contribution in their families. Conducted in a rural location; almost all of the elderly were involved in agriculture as their main profession and had started their line of profession without any prior trainings of any sort. This further shows the need of initiating programs via government to link older people with younger generation for skill transfer and innovations in traditional farming system as they still see the relevancy of their profession in the coming ten years. Although the younger generation is shifting towards modernization and glamorous professions rather than agriculture, older people still believe that embracing their line of work can improve younger generations’ social status and generate adequate revenue. It is evident that their traditional skills are currently capable of contributing to their economy so combining that with modern techniques can contribute to better income and employment generation as well.
The Newars of the Hills: Migration and Adaptation
Authors: Shrestha Khadga Narayan
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses on the emigrated Newars from Kathmandu Valley to different parts of Solududhkunda Municipality. The paper explores the origin and migration of the Newars and tries to analyze how the emigrated Newars united each other; and socially and culturally adapted throughsocial organizations such as guthi and samaj. The nature of this paper is qualitative. Semi structured interviews, group discussions and key informants’ interviews were the major tools for data collection. The genealogies of the Newars were reviewed to analyze their out-migration process. However, the causes of their out-migration from the Kathmandu Valley was not clear buttrade, kinship, forced migration and local disputes may be the probable causes of their outmigration. The establishments of guthi or samaj are very much important to the Newars to adjust inthe new socio-cultural environments. The guthi or samaj not only fulfilled their socio-cultural and economic needs but also showed their joint strength and power to cope with other caste and ethnic groups. Giving membership to non-Newar families and attending Buddhists ceremonies as stakeholders, accepting Hindu Brahmin as their priest and acculturation are the adapting strategies of the Newars in the new circumstances. However, remigration of the educated and capable Newaryouths is the major questions for their existence in the Solu-dudhkunda Municipality.

Forum Panelist 4: COVID-19 Response: Speaking for the Unspoken for
Authors: Balasundaram Susheela R
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unparalleled changes in all our lives, on an individual, societal and global level that it draws us into a necessary reflection of how we have lived our lives as an individual, a community and ashumankind. As health practitioners, we need to appraise our ways of working and have the courage to speak and call for the change we want to see. A time for an honest examination of policies of exclusion and marginalization of any sections of populations, and consequences of such policies in the face of a pandemic. A time for health professionals and those who speak for the unspoken to rise to the forefront with the right intention at heart, to set the right knowledge to action in moving towards a more inclusive and resilient health system. If we continue in our old ways, the lesson will be lost on us and this may be the pandemic that deepens the divide, which will be to our own detriment. Balancing the priorities in public health, and the politico-socio-economic priorities of a nation, what path would best address these priorities? As there are challenges, there are opportunities to have inclusive policies, coordinated health programming, with collaborative efforts in strengthening preparedness and response mechanisms, engaging the public, civil society, academia, international organizations and private sectors.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S9

Objective: Elderly patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at higher risk for morbidity, complications and early mortality than younger patients. Elderly are frequently underrepresented in clinical trials.
Methods: A descriptive multi-center study including 760 patients admitted with ACS aiming to determine the most frequently encountered cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the in-hospital complications.
Results: Of the 760 patients, 42.1% were males with a mean age of 85 years. Non-ST-elevation ACS was encountered in 496 patients (65.3%; NSTEMI 50% and unstable angina 15.3%) while STEMI was encountered in 264 patients (34.7%). Regarding risk factors, 61.1% of patients were hypertensive, 60% were diabetics, 44.7% were smokers, 28.9% had dyslipidemia, 16.8% had a family history of coronary artery disease, and 20% had chronic renal impairment at presentation. 252 patients (33.2%) underwent primary PCI, 440 patients (57.9%) underwent elective PCI, 36 patients (4.7%) underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery while 32 patients (4.2%) were maintained on conservative medical therapy and no patients received fibrinolytic therapy. In-hospital mortality was only 3.7% (28 patients), Cerebrovascular stroke occurred in 16 patients (2.1%) and recurrent infarction occurred only in 8 patients (1.1%).
Conclusion: In patients over 80 years presenting with ACS, female sex, hypertension and diabetes were the most frequently encountered cardiovascular risk factors, with more frequent presentation of NSTEMI than STEMI and in-hospital mortality of 3.7%.

Lawh-i-Tibb (Tablet to the Physician)
Authors: Ziaei Misagh
Published: March 2021

The Lawh-i-Tibb is a well-known, oft-referenced tablet by Bahá’u’lláh and one of the few explicitly related to medicine and healing. While the health maxims contained in it are often the focus of popular interest, relatively little attention has been paid to other aspects of the tablet. Complicating the study of this important work is the lack of an authorized English translation. This paper, drawing on provisional translations, focuses on the tablet’s historical context, its paradigms for the study and practice of medicine, its description of the ideal characteristics of a physician, and its foreshadowing of the evolution of medical science.
