Published: September 2022

In order to explore the characteristics of moist soil under the condition of water supply of surface capillary, this research constructed device which screens the capillary source infiltration based on the tests. Embedding TDR monitoring instrument in the indoor soil box, it can detect the characteristics of moist soil under the conditions of different capillary source infiltration water percolating capacities. The results show that there is a power function relationship between the cumulative infiltration quantity and time under the condition of water supply of surface capillary. The wetting front pushes forward like semi ellipse curve, and the moist soil presents like approximate semi ellipsoid. When the infiltration time and infiltration rate are constant, the soil water content in the infiltration point tends to a stable value, the soil water and heat coupling movement is complex, and the numerical variation tendency of each monitoring point is similar. Based on the above results, we construct empirical solution equation to predict the eigenvalues of soil wetting body under the condition of water supply of surface capillary. In this research, the capillary source infiltration material is found, and the surface capillary source water supply device with low cost and high efficiency is constructed. The device makes the growth of plants with enough water for the first year, but it can still keep the roots dry enough to make the seedling root down. Preventing soil evaporation loss, slowing down water loss of the surface micro environment of the main land and other bad influence, the device can improve the efficiency of water use. Meanwhile, the device can effectively enhance the ability of seedlings against high temperature of the surface in desertification area, wind-blown sand, animal browsing stress, damage, and create a proper environment for the normal growth of plants, which enjoys broad prospects.
ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ МІКРОФІНАНСОВИХ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Троцюк Ніна
Published: September 2022

Мета статті полягає в дослідженні законодавчих положень і доктринальних джерел з метою обґрунтування засад правового регулювання діяльності мікрофінансових організацій в Україні та формулюванні окремих пропозицій до проекту Закону України «Про захист прав позичальників у межах договорів мікрокредитування та мікропозики». Для досягнення визначеної мети були використані загальні та спеціальні наукові методи, зокрема такі як: порівняльно-правовий, системно-структурний методи, а також метод аналізу чинного вітчизняного законодавства. Результати: аналіз понять «мікрофінансова організація», «мікрокредитування», «мікропозика» дав можливість сформулювати авторське визначення мікрофінансової діяльності та визначити її ознаки. Зроблено висновок, що недоліками проекту Закону України «Про захист прав позичальників у межах договорів мікрокредитування та мікропозики» є: відсутність поняття «мікрофінансова діяльність»; правова неврегульованість щодо організаційно-правової форми діяльності мікрофінансової організації. Обговорення: встановлено, що на сьогоднішній день в Україні відсутній спеціальний нормативно-правовий акт, який би регламентував роботу МФО, наслідком чого є недобросовісна діяльність даних організацій. Враховуючи досвід європейських країн щодо діяльності колекторських компаній на ринку фінансових послуг, Україна вперше визначила вимоги щодо взаємодії із споживачами та іншими особами при врегулюванні простроченої заборгованості (вимоги щодо етичної поведінки) та відповідальність за порушення вимог щодо етичної поведінки.

ПРАВОВІ АСПЕКТИ ВИМОГИ КОМПЕНСАЦІЙ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ ШКОДИ ВНАСЛІДОК ВІЙНИ РФ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Микулець Віталій
Published: September 2022

Мета: встановити готовність українського екологічного законодавства до правого забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок війни рф в Україні. Досягнення вказаної мети зумовило необхідність: 1) визначення змісту понять «екологічна шкода» і «екологічна шкода під час війни», 2) контент-аналізу українського екологічного законодавства на предмет можливості забезпечення відповідних компенсацій. Методи дослідження: використано загальнотеоретичні і аналітичні методи у поєднанні з комплексним підходом. Результати: на теоретичному рівні дослідження показано недоліки української правової позиції щодо забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок агресії росії. Запропоновано на рівні профільного Закону дати визначення поняттям «екологічна шкода» і «екологічна шкода під час війни». Обстоюється обґрунтованість відображення на рівні закону позиції, при визначенні екологічної шкоди внаслідок воєнних дій належить визначити відповідні пошкодження у вихідному стані шляхом застосування вимірних даних. Обговорення: російське вторгнення в Україну за короткий проміжок часу створило значний обсяг екологічних ризиків і реальних проблем. Наявні на сьогодні факти і позиція української громадськості актуалізують питання забезпечення компенсацій екологічної шкоди внаслідок війни рф в Україні. Втім у цьому питанні у перспективі можуть виникнути певні ускладнення, адже дефініція «екологічної шкоди» досі має дискусійний характер не лише у середовищі українських вчених, але й відсутня на рівні національного законодавства. Зважаючи на складну і неефективну практику застосування норм міжнародного гуманітарного права (зокрема стосовно охорони довкілля), логічно переглянути означену ситуацію. Зокрема привести понятійний ряд національного екологічного законодавства у відповідність зі змістом міжнародних актів.

Surgery-First Approach; from Claims to Evidence: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Mirhashemi Amir Hosein , Ghadirian Hannaneh , Samimi Seyed Morteza
Published: September 2022

The main goals of treatment of dentofacial deformities are to achieve optimal esthetics and ideal functional occlusion. The conventional orthognathic surgical approach includes a long presurgical orthodontic phase, which takes about 18 months. During this phase, the patients’ appearance is deteriorated and their motivation to continue treatment significantly decreases. In the surgery first approach (SFA), orthognathic surgery is performed prior to orthodontic treatment, and orthodontic treatment is performed postoperatively to improve dental occlusion and for final settling. The SFA has two main advantages namely shortening of treatment period, and early improvement of the appearance of patient. The SFA has significant advantages especially for class III patients.
This study aimed to review the available articles on this topic published from 2012 to 2019 to achieve a comprehensive understanding of different aspects of the SFA. The databases were searched by two researchers and a total of 11 eligible articles were selected for study inclusion. The results were categorized into two categories of stability of the results of the SFA, and duration of treatment, in comparison with the conventional approach.
Although different aspects of the SFA have been previously evaluated by dental clinicians, a considerable gap of information still exists regarding the details of this approach, which calls for further research in this respect.

Published: September 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on oral health-related knowledge, attitude, and practice of medical students.
Materials and Methods: This study was performed on the fifth-year medical students attending an elective oral health course at the Faculty of Dentistry of Tehran University (intervention group) and 25 other students attending another elective course (control group) in 2018. A 2-week internship program including 6 sessions of a workshop program plus 2 days of school field and 2 days of attending dental departments was designed for the intervention group. Before and after the intervention, students completed a questionnaire and their simplified debris index was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24 by paired-sample t-test and general linear regression.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 24.84±1.31 years in the intervention group and 23.64±1.28 years in the control group. There were 14 (56%) males in the intervention group and 16 (64%) males in the control group. At baseline, the mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores of the control and intervention groups were 26.28, 14.20 and 10.88, and 27.84, 15.80, and 9.36, respectively. After the intervention, the knowledge, attitude, debris index and willingness to adhere to oral health measures significantly improved (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Oral health-related knowledge, attitude and practice of medical students were not desirable at baseline. The present study showed that even a short-term intervention in this field was effective to improve the oral health concepts in this group.

Objective: Vaginal births are associated with a certain degree of trauma to the genital tract, with significant short-term and long-term morbidity. Awareness of morbidity following perineal trauma has led to application of different interventions during the late first stage and second stage of labour to prevent severe perineal trauma. This includes techniques such as perineal massage, warm and cold compresses, and perineal management techniques. Objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effect of perineal massage during the late first stage and second stage of labour on the rate of episiotomy and risk of perineal trauma.
Materials and methods: Electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Science Direct) were searched from inception until August 2021. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which compares perineal massage during labor (i.e., intervention group) with a control group in women with singleton gestation and cephalic presentation at ≥36 weeks. The primary outcome was severe perineal trauma and the rate of episiotomy. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird to produce summary treatment effects in terms of relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: Ten trials including 4,088 women were analyzed. Women with perineal massage during labor had a significantly lower incidence of severe perineal trauma (RR: 0.52, 95% CI 0.29- 0.94) compared to the control group. The incidence of episiotomy was lower in the perineal massage group (RR: 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.98 p < 0.01) but was statistically insignificant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The finding of meta-analysis showed that perineal massage during labor could be effective in reducing the risk of severe perineal trauma, such as third- and fourth-degree spontaneous lacerations during labor.
The effect of the time interval from sperm processing to intrauterine insemination on the pregnancy outcomes of infertile women
Authors: Rezaei Zahra , Feizabad Elham , Valadan Mehrnaz , Ebadizare Saeedeh
Published: September 2022

Objective: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the first-line treatment in couples suffering from various causes of subfertility and infertility. Considering the relatively low rate of pregnancy achieved with each cycle in this method, optimizing various steps in the process including the time interval from sperm collection to IUI may result in an increased rate of success. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of time intervals from the end of sperm processing to IUI (SP-IUI) on the pregnancy rate in IUI.
Materials and methods: This single-center prospective cohort study evaluated couples with normal male partner sperm analysis and idiopathic female infertility undergoing IUI from 2018 to 2021. Cycles were stimulated using subcutaneous recombinant FSH and oral Letrozole. Ovulation was triggered using GnRH antagonist when the leading follicle’s size reached greater than 14mm. The participants were placed in one of the three groups based on SP-IUI: group 1 (0–60 min), group II (60–90 min), and Group III: (>90 min).
Results: 269 couples were included in the study. Sperm processing expectedly resulted in an increased concentration of total sperm count and sperm motility (P<0.001). The rate of chemical or clinical pregnancy, abortion, IUFD, multigestation, pregnancy, term birth, and ectopic pregnancy was not significantly different across study groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that SP-IUI intervals evaluated in this study do not vary in terms of pregnancy rate or adverse pregnancy outcomes in IUI with normal male partner semen analysis. Hence, infertile couples can be flexible in the collection of semen specimens without time and site (at home or hospital) limitations.

Background: Nowadays, minor millets becoming more popular than other cereals due to its inherent properties of adaptability to a range of marginal growing conditions, nutritious and withstanding severe biotic and abiotic stresses. However, underutilized and neglected in the cultivation part in several areas. It is also a known fact that the Theni, Madurai and Dindigul districts of southern Tamil Nadu has major population of scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribes (ST),”Paliyans”are living near the foothills of the Western Ghats, which is largely rural. These populations are really vulnerable communities which need better agricultural system for livelihood improvement and nutritional security. Attempts were made to popularize and adopt the high yielding variety and scientific methods of crop management practices in the farmers holdings of Theni district of Tamil Nadu through Front line demonstrations (FLDs) during 2016-19. The results exhibited that the average higher grain yield of 1559 kg/ha in barnyard millet and 1004 kg/ha in little millet were recorded in demonstration plots compared to 1250 kg/ha and 860 kg/ha respectively in farmers practice with a yield advantage of 24.7 and 16.7 per cent respectively. In summary, FLDs on village level were carried out by insisting worth of seed selection at farmers field and adoption of new variety under scientific methods of minor millet cultivation among the farming community for higher yield and income. Methods: The study was conducted in Western Ghats location of Theni, Madurai and Dindigul districts during 2016-19. The large-scale Frontline demonstrations were conducted in farmer’s field of selected villages of Aundipatti block of Theni district of Tamil Nadu during 2016-17 and 2017-18 in which need-based interventions were made on millet cultivation among the farmers who comes under SC/ST category of under privileged section. Result: The results of the Frontline demonstration confirmed that TNAU Barnyard millet varieties CO (Kv) 2 and MDU 1 and little millet variety CO (Sa) 4 with improved cultivation practices were found better than the local check at farmer’s field. Yield of the frontline demonstration trials and potential yield of the crop variety was compared to estimate the yield gap. Thus, the demonstration improved the skill of the farmer as well as the interest of adoption of new variety.

The Limits of Indonesia’s Legal Framework for Electromobility: Regulatory and Sustainable Issues
Authors: Ibrahim Nur Asrul
Published: September 2022

The rise in global temperature indicates the impact of climate change, encouraging more countries to adapt and seek practical solutions. Several countries, including Indonesia, have begun to regulate electric vehicles because of the commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It simultaneously provides opportunities for developing electric vehicles to prevent more use of fossil fuels. This study aimed to discuss and explore Indonesia's trajectory to develop a legal framework for electromobility that started to be drafted in 2019. This framework has resulted in legal fissures because of the lack of regulations to promote electric vehicles against the environmental aspects, whereas it tends to focus on industrial development. Finally, this study discussed regulatory issues and predicted the future of Indonesia's electromobility legal development through the lens of sustainability. This study used normative legal research whose analysis inventoried and identified several laws and regulations on electromobility in Indonesia with particular criteria. This study showed that Indonesia's legal development of electromobility is being accomplished by autonomous and inconsistent delegated regulations with technical and non-technology aspects. Adopting a legal instrument through Presidential Regulation is insufficient to build an electromobility ecosystem that involves many sectors. In contrast, an imbalance in the regulatory framework, the three pillars of sustainability, and the economic dimension outweigh the social and environmental factors. Insofar, the regulations adopted prioritize the economic aspect, and the framework has impacted other industries, including mining and international trade, due to the need for nickel and manganese as raw materials for electric vehicle batteries.

Cervical cancer is a disease caused by a malignant process that occurs in the cervix or cervix. The cause of cervical cancer is not known for certain, but it is estimated that around 95% is caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Efforts to cure cancer with drugs (pharmacotherapy) or with chemical compounds (chemotherapy) in general have not been able to give satisfactory results, so alternative treatment methods are sought, including traditional medicine, namely by using mangroves. Lumnitzera racemosa is one type of mangrove plant that has been used in alternative medicine because of its potential as anticancer. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Lumnitzera racemosa mangrove extract on hela cell viability. Lumnitzera racemosa leaf powder was extracted using graded maceration. The solvents used include n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The results showed that the LC50 value was 56 ppm, it means that the ethanol extract has toxic properties. The results of the phytochemical test of the leaf extract of Lumnitzera racemosa contained alkaloids, steroids, triterpenoids and saponins. The test results showed that the extract yield was 11.58%, the water content of the extract was 22.17%, and the total phenol was 2742.17 mg GAE. The test results from the LC-MS test resulted in suspected compounds including pyrogallol, isoniazid and caffeine. The ethanolic extract of Lumnitzera racemosa leaf was cytotoxic to the viability of hela cells with the resulting IC50 value of 493.33 µg/mL.

Authors: Fauzan Fauzan
Published: September 2022

Bone defect is one of the challenges for dentists in the process of healing bone tissue. Bone defect can occur in alveolar bone with the etiology of microorganisms and cyst expansion. In addition, cases of bone defects in alveolar bone are also often found in cases with treatment of apex resection and hemisection. Autologous bone graft is a clinical gold standard in the treatment of bone defect. However, the use of bone graft has a limited number of growth factors produced. Tissue engineering is the latest method in terms of bone regeneration. Tissue engineering has three main components; stem cell, growth factor, and scaffold. Stem cells will increase osteoblastogenesis and chitosan scaffold will immobilize alkaline phosphatase (ALP) so that serum ALP levels decrease and bone regeneration and mineralization processes become faster. The aim of this study is analyzing the effect of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (HADMSC) with chitosan scaffold (CS) in bone defect on serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. This research was a in vivo laboratory experimental study. Bone defects are planted with chitosan scaffold (CS) and a combination of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HADMSC) with chitosan scaffold. Measurement of ALP levels was carried out by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) method using an analyzer on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th days. Research data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Bonferroni tests. The results of the data analysis showed that there were significant differences in ALP levels with CS planting and the combination of HADMSC and CS. the effect of human adipose- derived mesenchymal stem cell (HADMSC) with chitosan scaffold (CS) on bone defect reduces serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels on the 3th and 14th days.

Published: September 2022

The role of type I collagen is as a matrix of extracellular proteins with characteristics of increased cell proliferation which directly affects the physiology and morphology of cells. Type 1 collagen can be obtained either from fish scales. This is what underlies the author to support engineering tissue used for the treatment of periodontal disease in the regenerative field by utilizing collagen derived from gouramy scales. As an initial step, the researchers wanted to conduct a study using collagen extract derived from gouramy scales (Osphoronemus gouramy) which was applied to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell cultures to see viability in vitro. To determine the viability of collagen in carp (Osphronemus goramy) scales to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are taken from mice and planted in 96 well plates. Collagen extracted from gouramy scales using the enzymatic method was dissolved in a condition medium and hydrolyzed into a collagen hydrolysis solution with each concentration of 0.01 mg / ml, 0.02 mg / ml, 0.04 mg / ml, 0.16 mg / ml, 0.32 mg / ml was put into the well prepared and incubated for 24 hours for the MTT assay. Collagen in carp scales can increase the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with a percentage above 50% and the highest viability concentration at 0,01 mg / ml. The collagen of gouramy scales soaked in a medium condition has better viability than the collagen hydrolysis solution of carp. Collagen in carp scales is viable against bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Collagen scales of gouramy soaked in medium had the highest viability with an optimum dose of 0.01 mg / ml.

Published: September 2022

Aim: Guidelines recommend treating hypertension (HTN) by keeping office blood pressure (BP) within the therapeutic range (TR). However, little is known about the TR of home BP. Therefore, we aimed to find a reliable proportion of home systolic (S) BP in TR (sBPiTR) using a telehealth platform, which facilitates the access to reliable and structured home BP data. Methods: We used the data of HTN patients who participated in BP telemonitoring and counseling for 3 months. Patients had to manually enter their home BP in electronic diaries. Home SBP readings were averaged by the system itself except the very first or every first day of BP monitoring. We divided sBPiTR (110-130 mmHg) by quartiles. A weighted Cohen’s kappa coefficient was used as an estimate of inter-rater reliability between sBPiTR and office/home SBP in TR. We used a binomial logistic regression to test the predictive value of sBPiTR on target office/home SBP achievement. Results: In total, 123 patients were included (median age 54 years; 102 males) with a median office SBP of 140 mmHg. By 3 months, it decreased to 130 mmHg (P < 0.001), with 60% of patients with target office BP and 70% in the upper sBPiTR quartiles. There was a slight agreement between office SBP in TR and sBPiTR of ≥ 50% (k = 0.19, P < 0.035) and fair agreement when countered against home SBP in TR (k = 0.32-0.65, P < 0.0001). Patients with sBPiTR of ≥ 50% were more likely to fall within the office and home SBP TR after adjustment for baseline covariates. Conclusion: The threshold of 50% of home SBP measurements within 110-130 mmHg has a slight agreement with office BP control and a fair agreement with home BP control. This variable may serve as a predictor for the achievement of target SBP both in and out of office. Larger studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Published: September 2022

Aim: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited condition that predisposes individuals to prolongation of the QT interval and increased risk for Torsade de Pointes. Pathogenic variants in three genes - KCNH2, KCNQ1 and SCN5A - are responsible for most cases of LQTS, and recent advances in genetic testing have improved knowledge of the disease, increased access to follow-up, and reduced adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Methods: Based around our preemptive genetic screening platform which includes the three long QT genes listed above, we developed and implemented a clinical decision support (CDS) module that alerts prescribers whenever a QT-prolonging medication is ordered for patients with a genetic predisposition to LQTS. Results: Of the 13,777 individuals screened, twenty-seven tested positive for a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant of KCNH2, KCNQ1 or SCN5A. In a subsequent early evaluation of the CDS and clinical processes, the number of QT-prolonging medications in this cohort decreased by 20% and new QT-prolonging medications were avoided in approximately 1/3 of new prescription orders. Conclusions: While long-term evaluation is needed, early data support the benefit of utilizing CDS in expanded roles, such as drug-gene-disease interactions where rare genetic variants intersect with everyday prescribing.
