The unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in our lives, especially in social, economic, and political spheres. The importance of e-textbooks has been emphasized in the education sector following the pandemic, which demonstrated the need for this technology for students to access their textbooks or workbooks. When students cannot attend school physically, the Malaysian government-owned KPM eTextbook Reader app allows them to access e-textbooks. However, according to school teachers, during the early stages of the movement control order (MCO), students needed help fully utilizing the KPM eTextbook reader due to various factors influencing their acceptance of the app, including its user interface design (UID). As a result, the purpose of this study is to reconceptualize the UID of the KPM eTextbook Reader application to provide the best learning experience for Terengganu secondary school students. This study opts for a qualitative study in which the researcher interviewed five secondary school teachers from Terengganu. Based on the significant findings, this study discovered that the organisation of the books and content are the most important make-or-break factor regarding the UID in the KPM eTextbook Reader app.

Published: July 2024

Nasal fracture is the most common type of facial fracture in modern populations and is usually related to interpersonal violence. Nevertheless, this type of injury has been scarcely studied in bioanthropological field. In this study, it was characterized and discussed the oldest known Southern Patagonia individual presenting nasal fracture, among other lesions, most probably resulting from interpersonal violence. We reanalysed the individual 2 from Orejas de Burro 1 site dated from Late Holocene, the nasal fossae and other skull bones to study nasal fractures using a recent method developed by Magalhães et al. (2020). Orejas de Burro 1 -2- presented nine fractures, four of them in the nasal area and showing different timing: one postmortem, two perimortem, and one antemortem. The other facial lesions consisted of four diastatic fractures and one in the fragile septum. The individual presented a high-energy injury resulting in intense bone disruption and displacement of nasal and facial bones produced by a lateral blow, which may be related to an episode of interpersonal violence. While some likely options are regionally known, it is highly difficult to assess the cause of the injury and the blunt object associated with this episode since there is a situation of equifinality. This is the oldest known record case reported of a nasal fracture in Southern Patagonia and one of the oldest of South America. Also, it is the early evidence of traumatic injury, possibly due to an episode of interpersonal violence.

Authors: Purba Anita Zefanya Marchelina , H Bahti Husen , P Fauzia Retna , Pratomo Uji , Wyantuti Santhy
Published: July 2024

Metal complexes are formed when a metal element coordinates with a ligand through a coordinate covalent bond. Metal elements come from the transition metal group, including lanthanides and actinides, such as heavy metals and rare earth metals. Heavy metals have a high density, atomic weight, or atomic number. Rare earth metals (LTJ) comprise 15 elements lanthanides, scandium, and itrium. Complex metals are potentially hazardous to health and the environment and must be separated. Emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) is used for the separation of complex metals as it is effective and efficient. ELM involves external, membrane, and internal phases. The internal phase is important in the separation process as it carries stripping agents to pull metals from the membrane to the internal phase. The choice of stripping agent concentration in the internal phase such as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, NaOH, and Na2CO3 affects the extraction efficiency in the separation of complexing metals using ELM. This article aims to evaluate the effect of stripping agent concentration on extraction efficiency.

Published: July 2024

The rapid growth of industries and human activities has increased the amount of waste containing heavy metals, which are potentially toxic to human health and the environment. Conventional methods for managing heavy metal wastes have limitations, leading to the emergence of the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) technique. This method is not only straightforward and cost-effective but also aligns with green chemistry principles. The composition of ELMs typically includes surfactants, extractants, stripping agents, and diluents. This article focuses on the use of environmentally sustainable diluents derived from vegetable oils. The diluent acts as a solvent for the extractant, aiding in the formation of a stable emulsion and reducing the percentage of emulsion breakage. This article evaluates the potential of vegetable oils as diluents in the Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) process to enhance emulsion stability and the efficiency of heavy metal extraction.

Published: July 2024

This paper presents an analysis of the heat flow in a plate heat exchanger located at a building heat exchange station. The plate heat exchanger is the main source of heat for the building system based on microsubstations in the building apartments. The co-operation of the heat exchange station with the substations in the apartments is also described. Such microstations are intended for both domestic hot water preparation and apartment heating. The method of calculating the product of the heat transfer coefficient k and the heat exchange surface area A is presented. In order to verify the correctness of the measured values of the temperatures of hot and cold water at the heat exchange station inlet and outlet, they were compared to the values calculated using the -NTU method. Good agreement was found between the results of the calculations and the meas-urements. Recommendations were made for the temperature of return water to the heating station. The cost of operating the district heating network could be reduced by increasing the surface area of central heating radiators in apartments, so that the temperature of return water to the heating station could be lowered.

Authors: Yuki Masashi , Inden Takanori , Hirano Takashi , Naito Eiji , Taira Hiroto , Yokota Shunya , Narita Momoko
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE

Comparing the utility of the anti-human serum amyloid A (SAA)-specific monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies assays (LZ-SAA) with the pure monoclonal anti-human antibody assays (VET-SAA) during clinical practice in primary care hospital populations by measuring SAA measurement in healthy and diseased domestic cats.

ANIMALS

52 healthy and 185 diseased client-owned cats.

METHODS

SAA concentration was measured using different LZ-SAA and VET-SAA measurements for healthy and various diseased cats. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated for each disease.

RESULTS

VET-SAA has higher sensitivity than LZ-SAA for the most common diseases presenting to primary care veterinary hospitals, including chronic kidney disease, tumors, and gingivostomatitis. Our results reveal the capability of detecting low SAA concentrations in healthy and diseased cats using VET-SAA in contrast to LZ-SAA, which found elevations of SAA concentrations only in diseased cats.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Our findings indicate that switching to the new VET-SAA instead of the conventional LZ-SAA will likely enhance the diagnostic performance in primary care veterinary hospitals.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the clinical and analytical accuracy of a new veterinary-calibrated portable blood glucose monitor (PBGM) compared to a reference laboratory analyzer.

ANIMALS

Client-owned dogs (n = 77) and cats (n = 64).

METHODS

Peripheral and paired capillary whole-blood glucose concentrations measured via PBGM were compared to plasma glucose concentrations measured via a Cobas c501 reference analyzer (Roche). Analytical accuracy was evaluated with the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman difference plot analysis, and Deming regression. Clinical accuracy was evaluated with Parkes error grid analysis. Paired peripheral and capillary blood samples were compared with the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test.

RESULTS

There was a high correlation between PBGM and reference analyzer readings in dogs and cats. Human quality assurance standards (International Organization for Standardization 15197:2013 guidelines) for analytical accuracy were met for 95% of feline peripheral blood samples and 89% of canine samples. Similar veterinary standards (American Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology guidelines) were met for 89% of canine and 92% of feline peripheral blood glucose measurements. Error grid analysis showed that all peripheral canine and 97% of feline measurements were clinically accurate (zone A). Any altered clinical decision for the remaining feline measurements was expected to minimally impact outcome (zone B). No significant difference was found between peripheral and capillary blood glucose measurements in either species.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The PBGM produced clinically accurate results and is suitable for use in veterinary and home settings to measure blood glucose.
Treatment of subcutaneous lipomas in the horse
Authors: Kearney Molly T. , Kamm J. Lacy
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE

To describe the treatment of subcutaneous lipomas in the horse.

ANIMALS

3 horses.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

The horses were aged 1 to 2 years old, with lipoma of the abdomen, prepuce, and tarsus.

RESULTS

All cases had surgical removal of the masses under general anesthesia. Recurrence of an invasive abdominal lipoma occurred in case 1 at the exit site of a passive drain. The recurrence was treated unsuccessfully with injectable cisplatin, and a second revision surgery with the use of an active drain resulted in resolution. In case 2, complete resection of an encapsulated lipoma of the lateral prepuce was successful with no recurrence. In case 3, incomplete resection of a tarsal lipoma resulted in a sound horse, with no further growth. Histopathologic analysis revealed that all masses were composed of well-differentiated adipocytes with no evidence of malignancy.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Subcutaneous lipomas are relatively rare and affect horses primarily ≤ 2 years of age. They are benign, although their presence can be deleterious due to invasion of local structures or the impact on normal locomotion. The margins of invasive tumors are difficult to identify due to their integration with normal tissue. Incomplete removal may allow for mass recurrence. Active suctions drains are beneficial if dead space is a concern.
The Decline and Fall of Globalization
Authors: Sheetz Mark S.
Published: July 2024

If globalization means openness to the free movement of goods, capital, and labor across international borders, then globalization is declining. The forces of protectionism are on the rise and barriers to trade and investment are proliferating. The fundamental cause is structural – the erosion of American hegemony as a result of a shift in the global distribution of power. At the end of the Cold War, the US was the world’s only great power. But the global diffusion of technological innovation has allowed the emergence of challengers. Now, the locus of world power has shifted to Asia. Attempting to preserve American primacy, the US is pursuing nationalist, mercantilist trade policies that undermine the liberal economic order established after WWII. Tariffs, export controls, and restrictions on FDI have replaced the free flow of goods and capital. Adam Smith and David Ricardo have been replaced by Alexander Hamilton and Niccolò Machiavelli. The US is enlisting its allies to reform the rules of the international economic order. It intends to transform the G7 into a steering committee of the free world. Such an action is likely to provoke an equal and opposite reaction, leading to a world of exclusive economic blocs. The resulting fragmentation will spell an end to the liberal multilateral order known as globalization.

Published: July 2024

To alleviate the metal corrosion problem caused by incomplete acid discharge during pickling or acidification, a corrosion inhibitor, long chain fatty hydrazides (LCFH), with a significant corrosion inhibition effect was synthesized from natural grease. The corrosion inhibition and adsorption properties of LCFH on carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution were studied by static sample weight loss test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic polarization curve. The results showed that LCFH exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition performance in HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration. When the concentration of LCFH is 40 mg/L, the inhibition efficiency can reach 97.9%. The potentiodynamic polarization curve shows that LCFH is a corrosion inhibitor that mainly inhibits the cathodic reaction. The corrosion inhibitor is spontaneously adsorbed on the surface of low-carbon steel in physical form, which conforms to the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model.

Amnioinfusions to Treat Early Onset Anhydramnios Caused by Bilateral Renal Agenesis : Potterâ€™s Syndrome
Authors: Yusrawati Yusrawati , Yusra Rizka Fadhillah
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Anhydramnios is a very small amount of amniotic fluid where the MVP measurement is 2cm by ultrasound. The most common cause of anhydramnios that persists into the second trimester of pregnancy is bilateral renal agenesis. Bilateral renal agenesis is closely related to Potter's Syndrome. Potter's syndrome is a picture of reduced amniotic fluid regardless of the cause. The most common cause of newborn death in cases of anhydramnios is pulmonary hypoplasia. Amnioinfusion is an action of adding fluid into the amniotic cavity which is expected to reduce uterine pressure due to anhydramnios and maintain alveolar distension to increase fetal lung growth.Objective: The aim of this case report is to share amnioinfusion on anhydramnios.Case Report: A 26-year-old woman G3P1A1H1 gravid 27-28 weeks was referred to the fetomaternal polyclinic of RSUP M. Djamil Padang with suspicion of anhydramnios caused by bilateral renal agenesis. Physical and obstetric examinations were found to be within normal limits. On ultrasound examination, there was no amniotic fluid, so MVP was difficult to assess, no fetal kidney and bladder were seen, so it is suspected that this is a bilateral renal agenesis disorder and leads to Potter's Syndrome. The patient was subjected to amnioinfusion to prevent contractures and pulmonary hypoplasia in the fetus. From the first amnioinfusion, the MVP increased to 2.99 cm. Monitoring and amnioinfusion are carried out periodically until the fetus is viable to be bornConclusion: Amnioinfusion in bilateral renal agenesis is useful for assisting diagnosis and as a preventive therapy for pulmonary contractures and hypoplasia in the fetus as well as increasing life expectancy when the fetus is born.Keywords: Bilateral Renal Agenesis, Anhydramnios, Amnioinfusion, Potter's Syndrome
Congenital Heart Defects: Risk Stratification for Pregnancy
Authors: Serudji Joserizal
Published: July 2024

Major advances in medicinal and operative therapy on congenital heart defects (CHD) patients have led the majority of affected women survive to childbearing age. The risk of cardiovascular complications during pregnancy and peripartum depends on the type of the underlying defect, the extent and severity of residual haemodynamic lesions and comorbidities. Thuugh pregnancy is well tolerated in patients with CHD, but for some women with particularly high-risk lesions and poor functional class, pregnancy poses significant risk for cardiovascular complications, including premature death. As a result, preconception risk stratification and counseling are mandatory and should be done in all women of childbearing age with CHD. This will enable informed decision making for pregnancy savers.

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication of gynecologic oncology surgeries. Understanding the characteristics, bacteriological profile, and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of SSI patients can help guide patientâ€™s management and reduce morbidity, mortality, and economic burden caused by SSI. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics, bacteriological profile, and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of SSI patients following gynecologic oncology surgery at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2021. Methods: This is a descriptive study that analyzed medical records of patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung from January to December 2021. Results: Out of 157 gynecologic oncology surgeries in 2021 that met the criteria, there were 11 incidences of SSI (7%). All SSI patients received postoperative antibiotics, with the most common type of antibiotic given being a combination of ceftriaxone and metronidazole. Ten out of the 11 specimens from SSI patients showed bacterial growth and a total of 17 bacterial isolates were found. Most specimens showed polymicrobial infection with the most common isolate being Escherichia coli Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL). Gram-positive bacteria in this study were most sensitive to Vancomycin, Tigecycline, and Gentamicin. Meanwhile, gram-negative bacteria were most sensitive to Ertapenem and Meropenem. Conclusion: Incidence of SSI following gynecologic oncology surgery at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2021 is 7%. The most frequently found isolate was Escherichia coli ESBL. Gram-positive bacteria were most sensitive Vancomycin, Tigecycline, and Gentamicin; while gram-negative bacteria were most sensitive to Ertapenem and Meropenem.

Introduction: Lack of knowledge of mothers in recognizing danger signs during pregnancy is one of the factors for the high maternal mortality rate. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes with the behavior of pregnant women in recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy in the city of Padang. Methods: This research using a cross sectional approach to 56 pregnant women at 3 Public Health Centers in Padang City from January 2022 to April 2022. To determine that relation, the chi-square test was used with 95% CI (Î± 0.05). Results: The results shows that most of the respondents who use the KIA book have a good knowledge (83%), have a positive attitude (89.3%) and behave appropriately (89.3%) and there is also a relationship between the level of knowledge and behavior. KIA book users in recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy (P = 0.04) and the relationship between attitudes and behavior of pregnant women using KIA books in recognizing pregnancy danger signs (p = 0.001). The relationship between knowledge and attitudes with the behavior of KIA book users in recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy(p-value0.001versus0.846). Conclusion: There is a relation between the level of knowledge and the behavior of KIA book users in recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy, between attitudes and the behavior of pregnant women using KIA books in recognizing the danger signs of pregnancy and attitudes have a more dominant influence than knowledge.
Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly (OHVIRA): Case report

Background: Hemivaginal obstruction syndrome and ipsilateral renal anomalies are known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWs) or better known by the acronym OHVIRA (Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilasteral Renal Anomaly). It occurs as a result of complete failure of the MÃ¼llerian ducts to fuse and accounts for about 5% of MÃ¼llerian duct anomalies. Initial manifestations usually appear as a result of secretions accumulating within the hemivaginal obstruction. Patients with HWWs can come with complaints of lower abdominal pain, severe dysmenorrhea, pelvic or vaginal mass, abnormal vaginal discharge, acute urinary retention, fever or vomiting. Therefore, careful diagnosis and appropriate management of this condition is desirable. The objective of the study was to report on the management of the obstruction due to HWWs. Case Report: A 12-year-old patient was admitted to the gynecology ward of Dr. M. Djamil Central General Hospital from polyclinic with abdominal pain since 4 months before being admitted to the hospital. The pain gets worse every day before menstruation and decreases when given painkillers. Bleeding from the vagina often recurs with blackish color, a little smelly since the 1 month ago. Conclusion: OHVIRA syndrome is a triad characterized by hemivaginal obstruction and agenesis of the ipsilateral kidney (OHVIRA) and uterus in the delphys. Clinical symptoms in general are cyclic dysmenorrhea, palpable mass due to accumulation of menstrual flow, and severe pelvic pain which can later develop into a persistent form as a result of prolonged retention of menstrual secretions, obstructed hemivagina. Management options are surgical resection of the obstructed vaginal septum and drainage.

Struma ovarii is a rare condition, in which thyroid tissue is the predominant element in an ovarian carcinoma. Thyroid tissue may demonstrate the same spectrum of pathological features as in the normal thyroid including benign and malignant changes. The malignant type is very rare, only 5% from all incidents of goiter ovarii. We present a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in a struma ovarii of the right ovary in a 43-year-old female
Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Authors: Serudji Joserizal
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Collateral arterial growth is an effective adaptation process to maintain blood supply in myocardial tissue distal to a coronary stenosis and in other vascular beds where feeding arteries are obstructed (1) . The drive for outgrowth and remodelling of arterial collaterals is an increased shear stress due to an enlarged blood flow occurring after the event of stenosis in a near by conduit artery. Remodelling includes increased growth of the diameter and length of the collateral, causing the characteristic tortuous or cork screw appearance (1) .Whilst collateral growth is generally beneficial, we will present evidence that arterial collateral out growth occurred in a monochorionic twin placenta where it jeopardised the pregnancy by causing the twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).Objective: to report a case of twin-to-twin transfusionCase Report: Reporting a case experienced and taken care in our Clinic Fetomaternal RS. Dr .M. Jamil Hospital. A 34 years old woman, gravida 2, para1, at 31 weeks and 6 days amenorrhea, because her pregnant uterus was too large for gestational Referral to tertiary center followed. At 32 weeks and 2 days amenorrhea biometry indicated estimated fetal weights of 1950 and 1450 g (Hadlock), oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios (amniotic fluid index:23cm. No structural anomaly of the heart was seen. No interventions, one course of corticosteroids were administered for fetal lung maturation. At 33 weeks a slight decrease in heart rate variability of the smaller twin was observed. A Caesarean section under spinal anesthesia was performed. Two girls were delivered of 1585 g and 2135 g and in good condition (Apgar scores 8 and 9 after 1 and 5 min in both girls). The monochorionic diamniotic placenta weighed 740 g. The cord of the recipient was centrally inserted and that of the donor velamentally. Placenta was born monochorion, diamnion.Conclusion: TTTS is caused due to unidirectional deep arteriovenous (AV) anastomoses with the superficial short comings. Hypovolemia, oliguria and oligohydramnion occurs in the donor fetus. Hypervolemia, polyuria and polyhydramnios occurs in the recipient fetus
