Introduction: Patients with cancer experience several physical and psychological problems which decrease their quality of life, compared to the lives of other patients, significantly. Tele-nursing follow-up cares are conducted in such a way that trains nurses in order to improve nursing care and achieve increasing welfare for the patients. The main objective of the present study was to determine the impact of continuing nursing consulting through Tele-nursing on the quality of life of cancer patients. Methods: 60 patients who had recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and lung cancer that and hospitalized for the first time for treatment were selected through consecutive sampling as the subjects of the present empirical study. Standardized specific questionnaires were used to collect required data and measure the quality of the life of patients with cancer (QLQ-C30) before and after the intervention. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of control and intervention after running the training program and providing informational pamphlets. Subjects in the intervention completed Tele-nursing counseling questionnaire against after the intervention and results from pre- and post-training were compared in both groups.  Results: The results of the present study showed that the quality of life and its aspects of both groups experienced significant change after training program and Tele-nursing (p<0.001); the average quality of life and its aspects increased after educational programs and Tele-nursing (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that Tele-nursing can be quite effective in improving the quality of life of cancer patients; thus, it seems scientifically justified that this method be implemented to enhance the quality of life of other chronic illnesses, as well.

Introduction: In patients who are not able to feed the mouth, but the digestive system has the ability to digest food, enteral feeding is used. This method is safe and affordable for the patient, leading to maintaining the function of the digestive system, reducing the risk of infection and sepsis. However, failure to properly implement this type of feeding causes problems such as pneumonia aspiration, infection, diarrhea, blockage of the enteral feeding, and if the above feeding method is implemented in accordance with its standard, it can play a major role in reducing the burden of complications and improving the quality of life, reducing the length of hospitalization, and reducing their costs. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study. The researchers studied 37 nurses working in general and nervous wards who fed patients with gastrostomy. The checklist that was verified in terms of validity and reliability was used to collect information. For data analysis, descriptive statistics (frequency and mean) and inferential statistics (paired t-test, Spearman correlation coefficient, analysis of variance with repeated observations) were used. Results: The results showed that the mean score of actions in all stages (before, during, after implementation) was significantly lower than standard (p<0.001). There was also a reverse relationship between the score of actions in all three stages (before, during, after implementation) with work experience and duration of work experience in the section. There was also a significant difference between the mean score of actions in all three stages between female and male (p-value -0.331), so that the average score of female was higher than that of male. Also, there was a significant difference between the mean score of the actions in all three stages and the employment status of the samples. The mean score of informal people was higher than the official ones. Conclusion: According to the findings, the mean score of the measures before, during and after the implementation of feeding through gastrostomy was significantly lower than the standard (p<0.001), to enteral  feeding a gynecologist at gastre and intrology, a clinical nurse and a nutritionist should educate patients and their families and personnel about the preparation and storage of food, the administration of food, the care of the entrance of the enteral  and the enteral  feeding, in light of the problems and complications of this type of feeding [1,2]. Based on the findings of the present study, nurses' retraining, especially men nurses, nurses with more work experience and formal nurses in the field of proper nursing clinical skills such as this type of feeding is needed.

An Observational Clinical Study to Evaluate The Efficacy of Kutaja Siddha Haritaki Churna and Vyadhignadi taila after virechana karma in the Management of Ekakushta vis-a-vis Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Authors: Rao Kalpana , C Mythrey R
Published: December 2021

Psoriasis is chronic disorder which is commonly encountered in day to day’s clinical practices.  It is a relapsing & remitting disease of skin causing social isolation, cosmetic & psychological embarrassment as well as difficulties in leading social life. Even though it can be considered as an autoimmune disorder affecting skin, it cannot always be treated as somatic lesion, it is infact multifactorial in origin & conditioned by various constitutional & environmental factors. Due to altered life style, lack of physical exercise, unhygienic, mental stress & over eating skin diseases are commonly observed. Although Eka-kushta is a rakta pradoshaja, vata-kaha pradhana tridoshaja kshudra kushta, it bears a great resemblance with psoriasis. The current treatment modalities have their own limitations & the drugs have considerable side effects when used for a longer period.

Therefore, there is a need for more comprehensive, economical & safe medications and methods of management of psoriasis. Hence a clinical study was conducted on 20 patients assigned to evaluate the Efficacy of Kutaja Siddha Haritaki Churna and Vyadhignadi taila after virechana karma in the Management of Ekakushta vis-a-vis Chronic Plaque Psoriasis. At the end of  30 days of treatment involving shodhana (virechana) followed by shamanoushadhis  and external medication resulted in significant improvement in the overall effect of therapy in reducing itching scaling, erythema and thickness .So it can be inferred that ayurvedic management of chronic plaque psoriasis with above mentioned medicines can be effectively used.

Authors: Sharma Tarun , Bhide Bhargav , Acharya Rabinarayan
Published: December 2021

Plants are traditionally being used as a source of medicine by indigenous people of different ethnic groups inhabiting various terrains for the control of various ailments effecting both human and animals. Recently, focus on plant research has been increased, all over the world, due to the huge potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional systems. Wounds are the result of injuries to the skin that disrupt the soft tissue. Various plants have been used in treatment of wounds over the years in many tribal areas. Many ethno botanical survey reports and books have been published highlighting the use of plant as a whole or its various parts for the management of wounds. Recent research shows that some of these plants are established either experimental or clinical studies for their wound healing activities. Single hand information regarding these plants with their specific parts used for wound healing activity is lacking.

Hence, the present study is an attempt to compile the leaf drugs reported for their wound healing activity from 85 research articles and 14 books related to ethno medicine and ethno botany. It is observed that ethno medicinal plants belonging to 100 families (Asteraceae-51, Fabaceae-38, Euphorbiaceae-34, Lamiaceae-19, Rubiaceae-17 etc.) are reported for their wound healing activity. Among them 202 plants reported for topical application, 11 for oral administration and 9 for both (oral and topical).

Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene (UHMWPE) as Desired Polymer Material for Biomedical
Authors: Said Assma
Published: December 2021

It is very important that any materials used as implant material work in harmony with the body. There will be drawback with every material. No matter how good, as nothing can be 100% identical as the natural human tissue. The body operates in an environment at a constant temperature of 37°C and pH of 7.25, so choice of materials will have to withstand these conditions. Incorrect use of material can cause rejection by the body, infection and even cancer, leading to more pain and discomfort by the patient. In turn the possibility of even further damage to the joint. The implant must work in the same way as the body part it is replacing- clear understanding of how the joint works is needed. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene is considered as the standard material for Artificial joints to decrease the total weight and the wear rate to make it more flexible. This is what makes Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene (UHMWPE) such an appropriate polymer. It is very widely used in total hip and knee joint replacements having the highest known impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made, can highly withstand abrasion, and has a very low coefficient of friction. Therefore, these properties, connected with extremely low moisture absorption, make UHMWPE especial material for the medical industry due to good industrial impact and wear resistance sliding applications. For moving joints, the friction would be damaging without the natural lubrication. In implant components this does not exist, however UHMWPE is self-lubricating, making it ideal for component such as an acetabular cup, which would wrap around a metallic femoral head in a hip joint. Also, UHMWPE has high impact strength, high toughness, and low elastic modulus, but it has disadvantages such as low tensile, transverse and compressive strengths with high creep rate. This review article deals with the history of UHMWPE, its material properties that make it an ideal candidate for total joints, implant-component fabrication procedures and provides insights as to why some of the implants eventually fail.

Directions and tendencies of migration of the population into urban areas of the republic of Srpska
Authors: Mišlicki Tomić Tanja , Rajcevic Vesna
Published: December 2021

This paper covers internal migrations in the Republic of Srpska, in the period 2007-2015 and their impact to urban and peri-urban development of urban areas of the Republic. Migration directions show a continuity of permanent abandonment of rural areas and settlement of urban and peri-urban areas of the Republic, also including the migrations (immigration) from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The scope of migrations has the trend of decrease as result of decrease in the rural population of the Republic of Srpska and its aging. Urban centres of the northern part of the Republic of Srpska (Banja Luka, Doboj, Bijeljina, Prijedor and Gradiška) have the largest scope of immigration, due to a number of attractive factors. In the southern part of the Republic, in the sub-Mediterranean area, the City of Trebinje is the main immigration area for the population of eastern Herzegovina, but also, more and more, for the population of the rest of the Republic of Srpska, as well for the wider regional environment. Spatial scope of research consists of eight cities in the Republic of Srpska, which defined the status of the city in the period from 1995 to 2019. Those cities are: Banjaluka, Bijeljina, Prijedor, Gradiška, Doboj, Istočno Sarajevo, Zvornik and Trebinje.
The specificities in the territorial organization of the Republic of Srpska are the result of complex socio-political processes and the formation of the entity line of demarcation in post-war period (1992-1995), between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska. Given the physiognomy of space and developmental processes, the Republic of Srpska has complex settlement function.
In four urban areas, Istočno Sarajevo, Doboj, Zvornik and Trebinje, the settlements are divided by the entity line, which caused the migrations. In 2014, population migration was also affected by administrative separation of the municipality of Stanari from the Doboj city area. Due to the above mentioned, compared to other cities of the Republic, Doboj has the highest negative values of the migration balance in the observed period (2007-2016). Statistical data from the Federal Bureau of Statistics of BiH and the Republic Institute of the Republic of Srpska were used in research related to migrations, as well as other relevant statistical material produced in the period from 1991 to 2016. The key demographic indicators, internal migrations, immigration and emigration and migration balance were taken into consideration. In order to compare the research areas, data were prepared on the basis of demographic indicators. Conclusions on spatial integration of migration, as well as its direction, have been drawn based on internal migration, spatial distribution of population and change in number of inhabitants in urban and suburban settlements.
What is to be Done? Framings of Urban Populism in Prague and Warsaw
Authors: O’Dwyer Connor
Published: December 2021

Resurgent populism in East Central Europe is typically analyzed at the national level. This paper examines populist urban movements in two of the region’s capital cities: Prague and Warsaw. It locates the origin of urban populist grievances in the crisis of urban-planning regimes after communism. At the same time, it argues that the character of populist urban movements, in terms of their mobilizing frames and tactics, varies between cities depending on the openness of municipal institutions to new social actors. The research draws on extensive field interviews, policy documents, academic analyses, and domestic media reports. It sheds light on an under-studied variant of postcommunist populism—one less conservative and potentially more inclusive—and contributes to the literatures on postcommunist civil society, urban planning, and municipal-level politics.
“Force Majeure”: The Transformation of Cultural Strategy as a Result of Urban Shrinkage and Economic Crisis. The Case of Riga, Latvia
Authors: Matyushkina Anastasiya
Published: December 2021

Cultural strategies have been commonly used to address the consequences of urban shrinkage, particularly in a post-industrial context. Proliferated growth-oriented models, such as “creative city,” have threatened the sustainable development of shrinking cities. Alternative cultural models that prioritize social inclusion, local sensitivity, and affordability are thus urgently needed. Using Riga as a case study, this paper explores the process of transformation to an alternative cultural strategy in a post-socialist shrinking city and identifies planning and governance tools that stimulate its development. Employing qualitative interviews and document analysis, the relations between emergent and deliberate cultural strategies are investigated. The results show how the organization of the European Capital of Culture 2014 during the severe shrinkage and economic crisis led to five elements of an alternative cultural strategy: (1) a shift from investing in cultural “hardware” to “software,” (2) a locally sensitive approach, (3) cultural decentralization, (4) strengthened civic engagement, and (5) inclusiveness. These elements of an emergent strategy were recognized by local authorities and stimulated changes in the deliberate cultural strategy. This study supports the idea that urban shrinkage offers municipalities an opportunity to reimagine traditional planning practices and emphasizes the important role of civic actors’ participation in coproducing public services and governance strategies.
Transformation of former socialist industrial landscapes in Budapest
Authors: Harlov-Csortán Melinda
Published: December 2021

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, used to host numerous and diverse types of industrial activities. Their imprints on the urban fabric became especially significant during the socialist period due to the top-down decision of transferring the profile of the country from agricultural to industrial. They were realized in factories, management buildings, at huge areas supporting transport of goods on water or by trains. Moreover, districts were dedicated to the industrial workers and incorporated education, health and leisure services as well. Since the political change in 1989, most of these factories and organizations shrank then completely stopped to operate, but their premises have experienced a more varied after-life. The text introduces examples for almost entire physical elimination, complete functional change and even continuous musealizations of former industrial sites in Budapest. The investigation is based on the analysis of diverse written documents (such as policies, scientific evaluations and media coverage) as well as on-site research. Through the case study analyses from Budapest, Hungary that focus on the period between 1989 and 2016, the paper identifies general approaches of urbanization in the post-socialist time regarding to former industrial sites and the major challenges that threaten the valuation of these tangible and intangible reminiscences of the past.

Published: December 2021

The condition of the Indonesian defense industry still has many shortcomings, but with the passage of time and a very dynamic strategic environment, the spectrum of threats is rapidly changing. Currently, where the development of information and communication technology is accelerating, cyber threats are the most dangerous threat, as well as for the Indonesian defense industry. Thus, Indonesia must determine attitudes and strategies in developing the defense industry in responding to cyber threats in order to support national defense. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The theoretical framework in this research is the theory of development strategy, and the concept of cyber threats. The purpose of the defense industry development strategy in response to cyber threats is to find out the best efforts made by Indonesia using SWOT analysis. It was found that the best strategy in building Indonesian defense industry in responding to cyber threats is the development of the quality of Human Resources and an increase in the budget for research and development of defense industry and technology. This is because some of the obstacles faced are (1) the weak understanding of state administrators related to the cyberspace, and the weak competence of human resources related to soft skills that must be possessed, (2) the weak legal umbrella in handling attacks in the cyberspace. (3) the weakness of the research and development department of the Indonesian defense industry (4) the weakness of the industry in producing and developing hardware with information technology.

Published: December 2021

A prática da partição de comprimidos consiste na divisão do comprimido ao meio, e vem sendo cada vez mais comum entre consumidores e em ambientes hospitalares, com intuito de flexibilização da dose, ajudar na deglutição ou até mesmo gerar economia aos seus usuários. No entanto, é uma prática sem grandes vantagens, pois não há como assegurar que os fragmentos das duas metades apresentem concentrações iguais e que sejam equivalentes à metade da dose original. Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar o teor de princípio ativo em comprimidos íntegros de losartana potássica 50 mg, assim como sua uniformidade em comprimidos partidos, do medicamento referência, de um similar e de um genérico. O doseamento da losartana potássica foi realizado por meio de titulação em meio não aquoso, metodologia especificada da Farmacopeia Brasileira. Nos comprimidos íntegros, das três amostras analisadas, não foi verificada diferença significativa entre os valores obtidos e a concentração declarada no rótulo, no nível de confiança de 95%. No entanto, para os comprimidos partidos, somente o medicamento referência apresentou uniformidade de princípio ativo. Vale ressaltar que é muito importante o cumprimento do tratamento prescrito em relação à dosagem correta do medicamento, já que essas variações podem comprometer o tratamento farmacoterápico do paciente.

É um antibiótico de amplo espectro, ativo contra bactérias gram-positivas e gram-negativas, estável no trato gástrico e melhor absorvido do que a penicilina natural por via oral. O presente estudo teve como objetivo quantificar, em laboratório o teor de amoxicilina através do método espectrofotométrico, avaliar se esse método é adequado para doseamento da potência da amoxicilina. Além disso realizou-se análise da bula dos medicamentos, a fim de verificar se estão de acordo com os critérios exigidos pela ANVISA. Foram analisadas três marcas da amoxicilina tri-hidratada na forma farmacêutica de suspensão oral, sendo uma amostra de referência (R), uma de genérico (G) e uma de similar (S). O teor foi determinado a partir da espectrofotometria de absorção no ultravioleta por meio de curva padrão. Os resultados demonstraram que as três amostras analisadas estavam de acordo com os parâmetros exigidos pela agência reguladora. O método espectrofotométrico evidenciou boa aplicabilidade para doseamento da amoxicilina suspensão oral, demonstrando ser um método com boa exatidão e praticidade, podendo ser utilizado para propósitos de controle de qualidade.  Em relação a análise das bulas dos medicamentos, verificou-se que eles cumprem os critérios estabelecidos pela agência reguladora.

La presente investigación tuvo como propósito describir las características del liderazgo en costos en la competitividad del sector floricultor del Ecuador. Mediante una investigación mixta de alcance descriptivo se aplicó un instrumento dirigido a empresas florícolas del Cantón Pedro Moncayo. Los resultados muestran que tanto las características del liderazgo en costos, el bajo crecimiento del sector, el desconocimiento de la estructura de costos, el margen de ganancia y precios, han sido determinantes en la limitada competitividad del sector floricultor en el mercado internacional. Por tanto, los precios no han contribuido a generar una rentabilidad satisfactoria para los floricultores.
