Donor specific antibodies (DSAs) are known as the leading cause of antibody mediated rejection (AMR), graft loss in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. DSAs characteristics, as immunoglobulin (Ig) classes, subclasses, and strength, are important to assess the immunological risk, early prediction of AMR, and therefor proper management. This longitudinal, case control study included 32 KT recipients at Assiut University Urology Hospital and 10 age and sex matched normal subjects as the control group. Total IgG, its subclasses and anti-human leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA) panel reactive antibody (PRA) were detected pre-transplantation (pre-TX), at 6-12- and 24-36-months post-TX. Rejection occurred in 4 recipients, 3 of them had high total IgG, IgG1 and/or IgG3. IgG2 and IgG4 were normal in all recipients. There were preformed anti-DSAs antibodies in 3/32 recipients (9.4%). Of these, two recipients became negative with no rejection occurred. The third recipient had high post-TX mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and AMR occurred. The pre-TX PRA was negative in 29/32 recipients (90.6%). The PRA was negative in 8/29 recipients (27.6%) and the remaining 21/29 recipients (72.4%) developed de novo DSAs post-TX (MFI <3000->10000). Rejection occurred with both low and high MFI. In 11 recipients, anti-HLA class I and II were not different between pre-TX, 3-6- and 24-36 months post-TX with no rejection occurred. The frequency and median levels of total IgG, IgG1 and IgG3 were increased in all recipients 24-36 months post-TX when compared with their levels pre-TX and 6-12 months post-TX in the 11 recipients and with the control group. The graft survival time significantly decreased in recipients with positive post-TX class I PRA. In conclusion, preformed DSAs may persist post-TX or turn negative. De novo DSAs developed post-TX even in non-sensitized recipients. Serum total IgG, IgG1 and IgG3 frequency increase 2-3 years post-TX.

Solid Waste Management has been a problem for rural and urban communities. The study aims to provide a basis for urban and rural communities to improve their awareness, attitudes, and practices on solid waste management at a household level and collaborate with local government units toward effective Household Solid Waste Management (HSWM) implementation, ordinances, and mitigation. A 30-item close-ended assessment with 5-item follow-up questions was constructed to determine and compare the level of awareness, attitudes, and practices on HSWM between Barangay Bignay, Valenzuela (urban group), and Barangay Santa Elena, Hagonoy (rural group). The data was analyzed using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to know the significant relationship between the bases (i.e., awareness, attitudes, and practices) in both barangays. Findings showed that the awareness of HSWM, practices, and attitude was high in the urban area, having a p-value of 0.003474, a lesser p-value than in rural with 0.007341. The comparisons analyzed using ANOVA reflecting a p-value of 0.96 concluded that there is a significant difference between the bases on the two groups since it is greater than the 0.50 level of significance. The bases were determined to have a positive relationship and thus directly affect the respondents' applications on HSWM and their communities. The LGUs implement an SWM program but still needs improvement as these contradict the measured practices. The study suggests a stricter implementation and orientation for both barangays on solid management programs.

Published: January 2023

English is one of the subjects taught at the university level, as well for management study program at the STIE Bina Karya, where the students focus their learning not on English, but have to take English courses as a general subject. This study aimed to find out what strategies are applied by lecturers in teaching reading comprehension for management students at STIE Bina Karya. The participants of this research are two English lecturers at STIE Bina Karya. This descriptive qualitative design applied a questionnaire for collecting the data. The result of this research showed that there are some different activities were carried out by the two lecturers at the while-reading stage. The first lecturer prefers to ask students to read the text one by one to improve their pronunciation. However, sometimes she asked them to read the text silently. Meanwhile, another lecturer prefers asking the students to read silently to gain better comprehension. Moreover, both lecturers agreed that in pre-reading activities, lecturers have to first use a strategy to attract students' interest in learning English and make it easier for them to understand the material content. For measuring students' understanding, they gave questions related to the text at the post-reading stage. Beside that, students are trained to create sentences from the word chosen from text, discuss the students' answers, review the lesson and lastly explain the conclusion.

Mental health problems in society cannot be underestimated. Many cases of mental disorders escape the attention of the family. Thus, it is necessary to create regional conditions that are alert to the mental health of its citizens. It is necessary to involve the local village community in an effort to achieve the goal. Community empowerment strategies are useful for identifying, overcoming mental health problems and maintaining mental health in their area. Community empowerment is a process of developing the potential of both the knowledge and skills of the community so that they are able to control themselves and be involved in meeting their own needs. This is done to find out how programs and plans related to mental health are carried out at the Samata Health Center. In addition, this can be used as material for improving the quality of the programs implemented, as well as the effectiveness of the programs in the future, both similar programs being implemented and those that will be implemented. The type of research used in this study is an evaluation with a qualitative method obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, document review, as well as online interviews conducted via WhatsApp call. The results obtained from in-depth interviews with Samata Health Center officers that the human resources involved in mental health programs are 4 people who come from mental health program implementers, doctors, cadres, nurses. Based on the results of research conducted at the Samata Health Center, it was found that the availability of facilities to support mental health programs at the Samata Health Center was not good enough. The budget received by the Samata Health Center in carrying out the mental health program comes from the BOK (Health Operational Assistance) and JKN funds. Samata Health Center has been able to provide medicines with sufficient criteria. However, if the patient has experienced a severe mental disorder and it is no longer resolved, then the patient will be referred to a hospital for more serious treatment.

Multiplex Analysis of Animal Species Origins in Feedstuffs and Foodstuffs for the Prevention, Control and Eradication of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) by PCR
Authors: SAFDAR Muhammad , OZASLAN Mehmet
Published: January 2023

Recently, highly strict regulations for the prevention, control, and elimination of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) were put in place by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Furthermore, because of health concerns, there is a greater demand for knowledge about the composition of feeds and foods, particularly pet food and ruminant feed, so determining the species of origin is critical. Therefore, there is a dire need for an advanced technique that should be rapid, specific, and inexpensive. The purpose of this study was to develop an M-PCR (multiplex PCR) assay that could identify TSEs causing origin species concurrently in food and feed products while employing fluorescent dyes that were less expensive than doubly labelled probes. The development and optimization of M-PCR allowed for the analysis of the origin of animal species' DNAs in complicated feed and food matrices. The primers were designed using specific segments of DNA sequences of the targeted species (bovine: 271bp, ovine: 119bp, caprine: 224bp). The optimized M-PCR assay may be a useful tool for confirming the species origin of feedstuffs and commodities subjected to denaturing technologies, according to the assay's results.
Exploring the Use of Bacillus Subtilis to Improve the Growth of Phaseolus Vulgaris under Saline Conditions
Authors: ALGHAFRI Shamma
Published: January 2023

Soil salinity is a problem that affects many countries, and one of them is the United Arab Emirates. A microorganism that has been known for its salinity resistance mechanisms could be a factor in improving and enhancing agricultural problems. The aim of this study is to explore the use of Bacillus Subtilis in agricultural practices and how it can affect growth under saline conditions and guide future studies in this field with the goal of giving better implications and providing more information. Bacillus Subtilis was introduced to a plant that cannot tolerate high salinity levels, Phaseolus Vulgaris. Three different methods were used in conducting this study: (1) germination of seeds in bacterial broth, (2) inoculation of seeds with bacterial broth, and (3) spreading of bacterial broth on soil samples. This study confirmed that using Bacillus Subtilis with Phaseolus Vulgaris indeed increases its resistance in saline conditions. Moreover, using this bacterium could be the solution to agricultural problems due to high salinity levels if they were engineered and modified to enhance their resistance tolerance. The recommendations to this study would be to implement it in a controlled field and explore the usage of Bacillus Subtilis with different plants and soils as well as to check how other factors, such as temperature, affect the growth of plants in saline conditions while Bacillus Subtilis is present in that environment. Another recommendation would be collecting data with different methods and using DNA sequencing to check how Bacillus Subtilis affect soils and the microbes that exist in those soils.

Published: January 2023

Establishing a high culture of patient safety in hospitals is one of the main ways to prevent or reduce errors and improve the overall quality of healthcare. The aim of the study is to assess the perceptions on patient safety culture among healthcare specialists in Bulgarian hospitals. A national cross-sectional survey was conducted among 620 healthcare specialists. The study was conducted using the web-based Bulgarian Version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Questionnaire (B-HSOPSC). The B-HSOPSC includes 42 questions, grouped in 12 different dimensions measuring patient safety culture. No personal identification was possible of the participations in the survey using the e-platform. The data was analyzed with descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. The results of the study show in general that the respondents demonstrate a positive attitude regarding patient safety culture. The dimensions “Staffing” and “Non-punitive response to error” are most problematic, as their percentage of positive response rates (PRRs) are lowest - 35.16% and 39.62%, respectively. However, “Handoffs and transitions” and “Overall perceptions of safety“ show the highest PRRs – 66.65% and 65.48%, respectively. From all participants, 74.7% have never reported an adverse event or error. Non-parametric tests did not find significant statistical differences in “Patient safety grade” between physicians and other health care specialists. Based on the evidence, the hospital managements need to focus on improving problem areas.

Published: January 2023

The role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may play in the pathogenesis of coronary vascular disease CVD in patients on hemodialysis and whether imaging of  EAT may hold prognostic implications for CVD events and mortality within this patient group .This systematic review investigated the association between epicardial adipose tissue and developing coronary artery diseases in patients undergoing hemodialysis.  A search strategy was developed to identify primary studies published until 2 November/2019.  Studies were obtained from multiple electronic databases (PubMed, HINARI, Science Direct). Searches were supplemented by hand searching and checking the reference lists of included articles. After the removal of duplicates, the search identified 89 titles, following title and abstract review twenty–three publications were considered potentially relevant, of which 6 studies were retrieved plus two studies from references list. The eight studies were included in the current review. Epicardial Adipose tissue thickness or volume is correlated significantly with coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis patients regardless its long term or incident.  This systematic review suggests the significant relationship between epicardial adipose tissue and developing coronary artery disease in this special cohort of patients, hemodialysis patients.  Further research should consider more the availability of using EAT as a non-invasive method to assess cardiovascular risk in HD patients.

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat to a level that represents a health risk, it is certainly linked to genetic components but the change in eating habits and the increase in inactivity through urbanization are the main causes of obesity. The most obvious management of obesity consists of a balanced diet and regular practice of physical activity. Traditional herbal remedies exist and can be divided into several groups including laxatives, lipolytic, appetite suppressants, and diuretics. Herbal teas based on these plants must be subject to constant quality control, to ensure patient safety. This study aims to control the quality of five herbal teas; for this, botanical and microbiological controls were done. Falsification detection with mineral substances was carried out using the total ash test. Botanical controls have revealed some elements that do not conform to the standards specified in the monographs, such as the lack of scientific information to guide the patient in his treatment and to identify herbal drugs. Microbiological controls have revealed fungal and bacterial contamination. Mineral falsification was detected in one of the five studied herbal teas.This study has shown the importance of quality control of herbal teas that are widely used by the population, hence the need to adopt stricter policies for their marketing

Hands are the main mode of transmission of microorganisms. Hand hygiene is considered the most effective measure of general precautions in the prevention of microbial contamination. The hydroalcoholic solution containing a high concentration of alcohol can cause a burning sensation and marginal irritation of the skin. This is precisely the main reason for the need for a disinfectant solution but which does not have the disadvantages of the hydroalcoholic solution and it is the objective of our end-of-studies dissertation which is the formulation of a disinfectant solution based on essential oils by comparing its effectiveness with the hydroalcoholic solution. In order to measure the antibacterial effect, we performed the aromatogram technique on the hydroalcoholic solution as well as on ours based on essential oils, the effect of which is assessed by measuring the diameter of an area of inhibition. The result obtained allowed us to confirm that the hydroalcoholic solution is effective but it causes skin irritation, while our natural solution has proven to be very interesting for its antibacterial power and its moisturizing effect with aloe Vera.
Variants of Modern Treatment of Patients with Chronic Hemorrhoids
Authors: SULYMA Volodymyr
Published: January 2023

Hemorrhoids are one of the most widespread diseases of the adult population in industrialized countries. It has been established that in people over 40 years of age, the symptoms of hemorrhoids are found in 60-70% of cases. The share of hemorrhoids, in the structure of coloproctological diseases, accounts for about 40%.In recent years, minimally invasive methods of treating hemorrhoids have already been firmly introduced into the daily practice of coloproctologists. The advantages of these methods over surgical interventions are the possibility of their use on an outpatient basis, without disability; high efficiency in the initial stages of the disease; a small number of complications.The most commonly used minimally invasive methods are:hardware ligation of hemorrhoids with latex rings, sclerotherapy, infrared photocoagulation of hemorrhoids,suture ligation of hemorrhoidal arteries under the control of dopplerometry, electrocoagulation of hemorrhoids.The indication for minimally invasive surgical interventions is uncomplicated internal hemorrhoids I - III stages.When choosing a method for treating patients with hemorrhoids, it is advisable to use a classification that divides chronic hemorrhoids into stage IV.Contraindications include: a combination of hemorrhoids with an anal fissure, rectal fistula, inflammatory diseases of the anal canal and perineum, acute hemorrhoids.Ligation of hemorrhoids with latex rings is the most frequently used technique (30-80%), and sclerotherapy, due to the frequent development of complications (10-45%), is used less and less. Other methods of minimally invasive treatment are used in less than 5% of cases.

Rapid and accurate estimation of biomass is crucial for the assessment of the crop nutrition status and the improvement of crop management strategies. The study was conducted in Setif province (Northeast of Algeria). Canopy cover was calculated using Canopeo® application, at stem elongation, booting, and heading stages for triticale, and V5, R1, and R3 for lentil. The results indicate a high correlation between canopy cover and triticale biomass, at the stem elongation stage with R2 = 0.98 and 0.89 under no till and conventional till, respectively. The RMSE was 0.1 and 0.06t/ha, under the two modes. The lowest correlation is seen at heading stage with a value of 0.21 and RMSE of 0.65t/ha, under no till mode. For lentil, the high correlations between are observed at R3 (early pod), and R1 (early bloom) stages, with a coefficients of 0.85 and 0.98, under zero till and conventional respectively. The RMSE was 0.17t/ha. This smartphone application is suitable for assessing triticale and lentil biomass; it is rapid, easy, and could replace the destructive sampling method.

Published: January 2023

The objective was to examine the effects of PMSG administration before or at the time of PGF2α injection on reproductive responses of ewes out-of-season. In late June and early July, 57 anestrus ewes were induced to estrus using CIDR-G devices for 12 days. Six days following device removal ewes were randomly allocated into three treatment groups and each received an i.m injection of 20mg PGF2α (day 0, 0 h). PMSG (500 IU) was administered either 24 h before (group A, n=20) or at (group B, n=19) the time of PGF2α injection. Group C ewes (n=18) served as control. Half of the ewes in each group were exposed to three intact rams at 0 h to be naturally mated and the other half were exposed to three aproned rams and inseminated 50-56 h following 0 h. Ewes were checked for breeding marks at 6-h intervals for 4 days. Progesterone levels from day –1 until day 20 were monitored. Occurrence of estrus was similar among ewes of the three treatment groups and averaged 79%. PMSG-treated ewes had shorter (P0.01) intervals to estrus and ovulation, and a higher ovulation rate than non-PMSG treated ewes. Pregnancy and lambing rates were similar among PMSG- and non-PMSG-treated ewes. Although reproductive responses were similar among artificially-inseminated and naturally-mated ewes, the latter had a higher (P0.05) lambing rate (14.3% vs 41.4%, respectively). Ewes inseminated close to the time of ovulation (7.7 h earlier) produced higher (P0.05) pregnancy rate than those inseminated at a wider interval from ovulation (16.7 h earlier). In conclusion, the PGF2α treatment given during luteal phase was effective in resetting subsequent cyclic activity of ewes. Although it did not increase the number of ewes detected in estrus, PMSG shortened intervals to estrus and ovulation, increased ovulation and induced–estrus pregnancy rates.

For this purpose, natural hazelnut oil was obtained by cold pressing method (55-60 ̊ C) without any refining and temperature exposure in this study. Natural hazelnut oil with hexan was obtained by adding hexan under the condition of natural hazelnut oil (50 ̊ C, 1000 rpm, 24 hours). Ozonization was applied for 110 minutes in the flow of ozone gas at 7-8 flows. The physical and chemical properties of 5 different oil samples were determined in total. As a result, in paralel with the ozonization process; density, viscosity, peroxide value, moisture content increased, while iodine value naturally decreased. The fracture index, on the other hand, was almost no different. In paralel with the ozonization process, the concentration of vitamin E and insatiable fattyacids was also observed to decrease. In order for the shelf life to be long, extra vitamin E should be added to prevent the formation of radicals in ozone oil contents; storage conditions were found to be 4°C or lower.

Medical Geology as a New Field of Study in Medical Sociology
Authors: CAN Islam
Published: January 2023

Geography and the geological structure of a region are among the most important factors that determine inhabitants’ health and disease. From this aspect, geological structure of a country also shapes the basic needs of people such as water, food, respiration, and shelter. Geological factors like rocks, elements, mines, minerals contact people directly or indirectly, so health and disease conditions may vary according to different geographical regions. Medical geology, as a branch of science, examines positive or negative effects of the geological environment on the health of people, animals, and plants. It tries to determine the interaction between the geographical factors on health and disease. Moreover, the air surrounding us, the water we drink, the soil we step on, the food we eat, and even the wood, brick, and metal-like things around us greatly affect our health. Medical geology provides “vital” knowledge about the etiology of diseases by examining the factors in the living area. Therefore, interdisciplinary studies should be carried out between medical geology and other related disciplines to solve the problems associated with geology that negatively affect human health. The limited number of research, which have been started to be carried out on the axis of geology in Turkey for about fifteen years and dealing with the relationship between geological structure and health and disease, are not sufficient in terms of the accumulation of medical geology literature. In this study, the subject of medical geology, which has not been studied sufficiently in the field of medical sociology in Turkey, will be discussed and it will be tried to contribute to the literature by drawing attention to the subject of medical geology.
Ecological Bases of Use of Organic Waste As Fertilizers
Authors: ZAMANOVA Azada
Published: January 2023

Based on the conducted studies, it is established that in Azerbaijan there is a large amount of unused organic waste that accumulate polluting the environment. These wastes can be processed and used as organic fertilizers. The waste contains a large amount of organic matter and mineral nutrients that improve the fertility of soils and the yield of agricultural plants (Artyushin et al., 1984). Works on chemicalization and land reclamation are carried out on an unprecedented scale. At the same time, environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources are becoming increasingly important for the environment. The food program developed in accordance with the decision to develop the country's agriculture provides for the full and rational use of all the resources of organic fertilizers available in our republic with a total volume of their production in 2017 of about 30 million tons. Preserving a deficit-free balance of humus in the soil, increasing its fertility and increasing the yield and quality of agricultural plants with the intensification of agriculture will require the expansion of production and the use of not only all types of animal husbandry and poultry farming and peat, but also the mobilization of other sources of organic matter. Among them, an important place should be given to household, agricultural and industrial waste, waste from the biochemical and woodworking industries, etc.The full and efficient use of all resources of organic fertilizers simultaneously solves a number of economic tasks: obtaining maximum yields while maintaining and increasing soil fertility, protecting the environment from pollution by waste and waste from industry, public utilities, animal husbandry and crop production (Zamanov et al., 1990).
