Published: March 2022

The purpose of the present study is to investigate pre-service teachers’ question types used during teaching practice course and how the question types have changed during the course. In the study, qualitative method was adopted, and the research design was a multiple case study. The participants of the study are two pre-service teachers Emel and Naz who were taking Teaching Practice II course in elementary mathematics teacher education program in one of the state universities in Turkey. Data were collected through audio records of the lessons, semi-structured interviews, lesson plans prepared by Emel and Naz and observation notes. Questions they asked in three lessons during their teaching practice were analysed according to the question types of Sahin and Kulm (2008) framework. The findings indicated that in addition to factual, guiding and probing questions; self-answered, yes/no and general questions emerged from the data. Furthermore, there were differences in the variety of question types used by the pre-service teachers and the most remarkable difference was in probing questions.
Recent Developments in the Control of Trypanosoma cruzi, the Causative Agent for Chagas' Disease
Authors: Rodriguez J. B. , Gros E. G.
Published: March 2022

Chagas' disease is a terrible illness that affects million of people in Central and South America. The causative agent for this disease is the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi which is transmitted to the human body by Reduviid insects, such as Triatoma infectans, popularly known as "vinchuca", and Rhodnius prolixus. This
parasite is also transmitted by transfusion of infected blood.

Despite of the progresses made in chemotherapy, new compounds are needed because the trypanocidal drugs presently in u•se cause considerable side effects on patients and present lack . of efficacy and specificity against all stages of the disease. There is no effective treatment available for Chagas' disease in spite of the important advances made in the study of the biochemistry of the microorganism responsible for the mentioned disease. The urgency for more selective and less toxic drugs has led to evaluate chemical therapy based on the knowledge of T. cruzi biochemistry and the mode of action of these compounds. In addition, due to the risk that T. cruzi may be transmitted in blood bank for transfusions, it is very important to have new compounds to kill this parasite in blood to be transfused. At present the drug in use for this purpose suffers from serious limitations concerning its safety.

In the present work, the recent advances made in order to control the replication of this parasite are presented.

New Situation
Authors: Bhandari Bharti , Chopra Deepti , Rai Jayant , Upadhyay Rashmi , Sidhu Jaspreet Kaur , Srivastava Saurabh
Published: March 2022

Background:

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been extensively used during the
COVID-19 pandemic both as a therapeutic and prophylactic drug. HCQ is generally well tolerated;
however, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in COVID-19 need further exploration. In this study, we
have determined the type and pattern of ADRs of HCQ as a prophylactic and therapeutic drug in
COVID-19.

Methods:

All spontaneous suspected ADR reports due to HCQ in COVID-19 patients submitted to
the ADR monitoring of a tertiary care hospital were included. Additionally, a survey was designed
for active surveillance of ADRs among healthcare professionals (HCPs) who were on prophylaxis
with HCQ. The ADRs were analyzed to determine severity, causality, and preventability using the
Hartwig Scale, World Health Organisation-Uppasala Monitoring Centre (WHO–UMC) scale, and
modified Schumock and Thornton criterion respectively.

Results:

Sixty-four ADR reports were received from COVID-19 patients. A total of 78 ADRs were
reported by 49 HCPs who were on HCQ prophylaxis. The majority of the patients had ADRs related
to skin and soft tissues (37.5%), whereas the HCPs on prophylaxis mostly had gastrointestinal
complaints (42.3%). ADRs observed in HCPs on prophylaxis were mild, not requiring any intervention.
However, 50% of ADRs in patients were of “moderate” category.

Conclusion:

Undiscerning and unsupervised use of HCQ can expose the general population as
well as patients to serious adverse drug effects. Utmost care is necessary before using HCQ
prophylactically or for treatment in COVID-19.

Published: February 2022

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between social media addiction and optimism/pessimism among adolescents. Using a descriptive design, the study was conducted with 231 high school students. A “Descriptive Data Form,” the “Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents” and the “Optimism-Pessimism Scale for Adolescents” were used as data collection tools. The students’ mean score on the Social Media Addiction Scale was calculated to be 15.29±2.42 and accordingly. Results: The results of the study showed that male students used social media more frequently and it was seen that the father’s education had an impact on the level of social media usage. It was found that the students’ attitudes of optimism varied depending upon their gender, class, income level, information-sharing on social media, and how much they used social media to pass the time. While a statistically significant, positive but weak correlation was seen between social media usage and optimism, the correlation with pessimism was statistically significant, negative, and weak.

Digital Health Interventions for Delivery of Mental Health Care: Systematic and Comprehensive Meta-Review
Authors: Philippe Tristan J , Sikder Naureen , Jackson Anna , Koblanski Maya E , Liow Eric , Pilarinos Andreas , Vasarhelyi Krisztina
Published: March 2022

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted mental health care delivery to digital platforms, videoconferencing, and other mobile communications. However, existing reviews of digital health interventions are narrow in scope and focus on a limited number of mental health conditions.

Objective

To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive systematic meta-review of the literature to assess the state of digital health interventions for the treatment of mental health conditions.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE for secondary literature published between 2010 and 2021 on the use, efficacy, and appropriateness of digital health interventions for the delivery of mental health care.

Results

Of the 3022 records identified, 466 proceeded to full-text review and 304 met the criteria for inclusion in this study. A majority (52%) of research involved the treatment of substance use disorders, 29% focused on mood, anxiety, and traumatic stress disorders, and >5% for each remaining mental health conditions. Synchronous and asynchronous communication, computerized therapy, and cognitive training appear to be effective but require further examination in understudied mental health conditions. Similarly, virtual reality, mobile apps, social media platforms, and web-based forums are novel technologies that have the potential to improve mental health but require higher quality evidence.

Conclusions

Digital health interventions offer promise in the treatment of mental health conditions. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health interventions provide a safer alternative to face-to-face treatment. However, further research on the applications of digital interventions in understudied mental health conditions is needed. Additionally, evidence is needed on the effectiveness and appropriateness of digital health tools for patients who are marginalized and may lack access to digital health interventions.

Authors: Ahmed Awad, Ph.D Dr. Heba Gouda , Ibrahim Prof. Laila Abd Al- Maged
Published: February 2022

The study of the journalist’s relation with political authority in Egypt from 1960 to 2011 seeks to reveal, describe, analyze and interpret the journalist’s relation with political authority in Egypt during this period and to reach a model that explains the factors affecting the journalist’s relation with political authority. This is by exposing the political, legislative, social and cultural factors affecting the journalist’s relationship with political authority during the period of study. And to reveal the personal characteristics of successive political leaders during the period of study, and their role in shaping the relationship between the journalist and the political authority in Egypt. In addition to revealing the social development, personal characteristics and professional gradations of a sample of prominent journalists during the course of the study, and the role these factors played in shaping the relationship between the journalist and the political authority in Egypt. The study found that the media in general, and the press in particular, play a role in political life, whether by expressing interest groups and opinion leaders, or by relying political systems on them to reach out to the public and promote their policies at home and abroad alike. Media has also proved to be the link between the public on the one hand and political decision makers on the other. The results also confirmed that the media helps the political systems to create public opinion in favor of their policies or to mobilize public opinion against those opposing their policies, which in both cases is a dangerous and vital role. The study also revealed that the mass media can influence the minds and emotions of the public and change their attitudes and behavior in a way that serves their policies and achieves the interests and goals of the political authority. The results of the study also confirmed that the legislation and laws prevailing in each country determine the form of the relationship between the press and the political authority. The results of the study also showed that the forms of relations between journalists and politicians vary, sometimes they are confused, and sometimes stable.
Study on the Classification and Publication of Dahe Materia Medica—Focusing on the Comparison with Compendium of Materia Medica
Authors: Xie Chengkun
Published: March 2022

The development of modern Japanese materia medica began with the passing of the Book Compendium of Materia Medica to Japan. With the spread and popularity of compendium of Materia Medica and the influence of Confucian thoughts such as “learning from things to know”, Beiyuan Yixuan, a Confucianist, herbalist and naturalist, has become Japan’s first original materia medica natural history work - Daiwa materia medica. Among them, there are 772 kinds collected from compendium of Materia Medica, except for the parts not owned by Japan, 203 kinds collected from other bibliographies, 358 kinds produced in Japan and 29 kinds imported from the Netherlands. A total of 1362 varieties were collected. This paper intends to analyze the origin relationship between compendium of Materia Medica and Da he materia medica. The investigation of Da he materia medica has important reference value for exploring the influence of compendium of Materia Medica on its eastward transmission to Japan and re examining the significance of the translation, introduction and dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture with traditional Chinese Medicine Classics as the carrier abroad.

Introducción: en diciembre de 2019 se inició una epidemia por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causante de un síndrome de dificultad respiratoria que, posteriormente, se denomina enfermedad COVID-19 y que es probable afecta menos a los niños que a los adultos. En Cuba existen aproximadamente 15,246 contagiados menores de 19 años. La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) asociada al Covid-19 puede representar peligro para la vida del paciente.

Objetivo: determinar algunas características de la COVID-19 en la población pediátrica estudiada con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 durante el primer año de inicio de la pandemia en Cuba.

Método: se seleccionaron al azar los servicios de endocrinología pediátrica de las provincias: Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Pinar del Río y en La Habana (Hospitales Pediátricos Cerro y Centro Habana). Se solicitó cuántos pacientes durante el primer año de la pandemia (marzo 2020-marzo 2021) debutaron con DM1, cuántos en cetosis/cetoacidosis. Estos datos se compararon con el año 2019. Se investigó cuantos niños DM1 ingresaron con Covid 19.

Resultados: existió incremento (57.3 %) de los pacientes con debut de DM1 durante el primer año de la pandemia en comparación con 2019. La presencia de cetosis/cetoacidosis aumentó (58.2 %). Se detectó cuatro pacientes con Covid 19 y DM1, (frecuencia baja: 0, 53 %).

Conclusiones: el incremento de la DM1 y de cetosis/cetoacidosis pudiera estar relacionado indirectamente con la pandemia por Covid 19, ya sea por stress, confinamiento, alimentación inadecuada o la combinación de estos factores, es prudente tener un seguimiento a mediano y largo plazo de estos pacientes.

Authors: Morillo Zuleika , Ramos Minerva , Alonso Soledad , González Neffer , Rodríguez Rodríguez
Published: February 2022

Introducción: a finales del año 2019 el mundo se enfrentó al SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus causante de la COVID-19 y declarada pandemia en marzo del 2020. En este contexto, los servicios de salud han necesitado reorganizar, diseñar estrategias o interrumpir sus servicios de rutina, y muchos dejaron de brindar atención a las personas en tratamiento contra enfermedades de salud mental y condiciones crónicas. Asimismo, muchos trabajadores de la salud que suelen brindar esta atención fueron redirigidos a la respuesta de COVID-19.

Material y Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, con el objetivo de estudiar la percepción de los usuarios sobre el acompañamiento del Servicio de Salud Mental del Hospital Infantil Dr. Robert Reid Cabral durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, entre diciembre 2020 y marzo 2021. La población estuvo conformada por un total de 237 pacientes, de la cual un 19 % fue incluido en la investigación final.

Discusión: más de la mitad de los usuarios del servicio de Salud Mental de nuestro Hospital percibió el acompañamiento recibido como bueno. Esto coincide con otros estudios internacionales que igualmente han utilizado herramientas como telesalud para mantener el contacto y la atención con los pacientes. No encontramos diferencias significativas en la cantidad de pacientes con contactos positivos confirmados entre sus convivientes y las alteraciones en los patrones de sueño, alimentación y conducta, en comparación con aquellos que no tuvieron un contacto positivo confirmado entre sus convivientes.

Conclusiones: la oferta de acceso a servicios de salud a distancia resulta ser una buena alternativa para ofrecer a los pacientes y a sus familias, brindar una atención oportuna a los conflictos presentados, y, cuando es implementada apropiadamente, las familias beneficiadas perciben como bueno el servicio ofrecido.

Published: February 2022

Introducción: la utilización de la escala NEWS podría construir una herramienta en el diagnóstico, pronóstico y estratificación precoz ante la sospecha de sepsis. El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar la eficacia de la escala NEWS como predictor de sepsis en pacientes ingresados por síndrome febril en el Hospital Salvador Bienvenido Gautier, en el período de octubre-diciembre 2019.

Material y método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y de corte transversal donde la técnica utilizada para la recolección de la información fue la evaluación directa de los 43 pacientes admitidos aplicando la escala NEWS y revisión de expedientes clínicos.

Resultados: se determinó que el punto de corte ≥6 en la escala NEWS obtuvo valores de sensibilidad (91 %), especificidad (70 %), índice de Youden de 0.61, valor predictivo positivo de 78 %, valor predictivo negativo de 88 %, razón de verosimilitud positiva de 3 y negativa de 0.1. La aplicación de la escala NEWS en el sexo masculino presentó una sensibilidad de 92.9 % y especificidad de 87.5 %. En los grupos de 18-30 y 71-80 años, esta escala presentó una sensibilidad y especificidad de 100 %. Los pacientes clasificados como riesgo bajo, moderado y alto fueron diagnosticados con sepsis el 16.67 %, 63.64 % y un 70 %, respectivamente.

Conclusiones: una puntuación mayor o igual a 6 en la escala NEWS se presenta como un predictor estadísticamente significativo que ayudaría en el diagnóstico temprano de sepsis, siendo más sensible que especifica. Fue mejor predictor en el sexo masculino y en los grupos etarios de 18-30 y 71-80 años.

Authors: Arboleda-Rojas Manuela
Published: February 2022

La Leucemia Mieloide Aguda es una enfermedad caracterizada por la alteración en la producción de células madre hematopoyéticas y la proliferación celular. Es más común en adultos; a pesar de ello solo se presenta en el 1 % en los Estados Unidos. Entre los 65-68 años se observa una mayor incidencia existiendo de 2-3 casos por cada año en 100.000 habitantes, siendo aproximadamente el 10 % de los cánceres de este tipo. Los diagnósticos más recomendados para esta enfermedad son los de carácter sanguíneo, la realización de citometrías de flujo en muestra de médula ósea. Según estudios, los análisis citogenéticos en un gran número de pacientes han demostrado translocaciones e inversiones en los cromosomas somáticos, mientras que solo una minoría tiene una organización de cromosomas somáticos balanceada. La terapia de consolidación se acompaña del trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas, conocido como el trasplante alogénico, que puede ser potencialmente curativo en algunos pacientes.

Introducción: el Síndrome del cuidador (CIE-11 QF27) se define como una respuesta inadecuada al estrés emocional crónico, que no aparece exclusivamente en los cuidadores y cuyas principales características son el agotamiento físico y/o psicológico1. Es una entidad de gran prevalencia en la actualidad, y ello se debe tanto al aumento de la esperanza de vida como al auge de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, estas últimas incapacitando a la población y aumentando el número de cuidadores formales e informales, que surgen para atender las necesidades de los afectados2.

Objetivos: evaluar el estado de salud mental en cuidadores de pacientes con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles de la comunidad de El Llano, provincia de Peravia, República Dominicana.

Metodología: estudio transversal, prospectivo, observacional y analítico. Se seleccionó una muestra de 115 personas, con un nivel de confianza del 95 % y un margen de error del 8 %, a las que se les aplicaron los cuestionarios. Las variables del cuestionario incluyeron edad, sexo, fecha de la información recolectada, así como los cuestionarios estandarizados de Goldberg para depresión y ansiedad en atención primaria, Cuestionario para la sobrecarga de Zarit y fragmentos del Cuestionario para cuidadores primarios. Además, se incluyó un formulario para adquirir el consentimiento informado.

Resultados: se encontró que el 63 % de los cuidadores podía sufrir depresión, el 52 % podía sufrir ansiedad y el 71 % de los cuidadores no presentaba sobrecarga. Sin embargo, la sobrecarga no es suficiente para explicar el comportamiento de depresión (r2=-0,27) o ansiedad (r2=-0,14), ya que ambos demostraron una correlación positiva muy baja. Se demostró que un 76 %, correspondiente a 87 cuidadores, eran del sexo femenino. También la edad fue una variable importante, el 45 % de los cuidadores se encontraron entre las edades de 41-60 años.

Conclusiones: la sobrecarga presentada por los encuestados no fue suficiente para explicar los niveles de depresión y ansiedad, por lo tanto, se debe correlacionar con más variables.
Innovations in Molecular Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Authors: Irfan Mohammad , Bisht Dakshina
Published: March 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a significant public health concern on a global scale. Quick and precise identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in symptomatic patients is pivotal for worldwide TB eradication initiatives. As an infectious disorder induced by MTB, it remains a critical threat to public health, particularly in poor countries, due to an inadequate diagnostic research laboratory. There is a need for a persistent incentive to reduce response time for effective diagnosis and control of TB infection, which is a benefit that molecular techniques provide over traditional methods. Although there is a tremendous overall prevalence of TB and a relatively poor probability of case identification worldwide. Common screening techniques have focused on tests that have many fundamental shortcomings. Due to the development of antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium strains, TB is one of the leading contributors to fatalities. It is now possible to examine TB using molecular detection techniques, which are faster and more cost-effective than previous methods, such as standard culture procedures to test and verify antibiotic resistance in patients with TB. Whole genome sequencing (WGS), faster nucleic acid amplification tests, has made it easier to diagnose and treat TB more quickly. This article addresses the genetic approaches for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in clinical specimens as well as antibiotic resistance in mycobacterium and discusses the practical limitations of using these methods.
Analisis Mekanisme Failover Controller Pada Software Defined Network

Published: February 2022

Software Defined Network (SDN) merupakan konsep teknologi jaringan untuk mendesain, mengelola, dan mengimplementasikan suatu jaringan dengan melakukan pemisahan antara control plane dan forwarding plane yang kemudian dikendalikan melalui satu media aplikasi controller yang melewati satu protocol. Controller SDN bertugas untuk mengatur aliran data antara data plane dan control plane. Pada konsep SDN memungkinkan adanya kegagalan komunikasi antar jaringan yang bisa saja terjadi. Kegagalan yang bisa saja terjadi, misalnya salah satu controller dalam jaringan SDN mengalami down ataupun tidak aktif sehingga host tidak dapat terhubung dengan baik. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut perlu adanya sistem yang menanganinya seperti High Availability Controller. High Availability Controller dapat dilakukan dengan mekanisme failover menggunakan Heartbeat dan DRBD (Distributed Replication Block Device).  Tujuan dari penerapan aplikasi tersebut untuk melakukan failover ketika terjadi kegagalan ataupun down pada controller utama maka peran controller utama akan di pindahkan ke controller backup supaya controller tetap tersedia meskipun terjadi down dan DRBD melakukan sinkronisasi data pada partisi disk yang telah dibuat secara realtime, membentuk replication disk. Replication disk akan diakses secara bergantian oleh server menggunakan Heartbeat. Pengujian dalam penelitian ini yaitu dengan mengukur rata rata waktu failover Ketika server backup mengambil alih peran server utama. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian failover dari controller RYU, POX , dan OpenDayLight menunjukan hasil bahwa controller RYU memiliki rata rata waktu yang lebih singkat yaitu 1.3 sec dibandingkan dengan controller POX yang memiliki rata rata waktu lebih lama yaitu 23.3 sec dan ODL yang meimiliki rata rata waktu 1.5 sec. Perbedaan hasil tersebut bergantug jenis controller yang digunankan, dimana semakin banyak fitur yang dijalankan sebuah controller maka semakin lama waktu failover yang di hasilkan. Hal tersebut terjadi karena dibutuhkan waktu tambahan untuk menjalankan fitur fitur controller yang digunakan.

Authors: Ferrari Carla Cazelato
Published: March 2022

Este artigo, por meio de balanço tendencial abrangendo o período de 1987 a 2017, teve por objetivo analisar as permanências e descontinuidades da distribuição institucional das teses e dissertações brasileiras sobre a educação de surdos, como expressão das disputas estabelecidas nesse campo, por meio dos seguintes indicadores: instância administrativa, área de conhecimento, instituição de ensino superior (IES), grau acadêmico e identificação do sujeito da pesquisa e língua prioritária. Destaca-se entre os resultados de análise a incidência de pesquisas que se desenvolveram em programas de pós-graduação da área da educação em instituições de ensino superior públicas, com investigações voltadas à escola, suas práticas e sujeitos. Assim como, observou-se a relevância de considerar, para além das questões centradas nas limitações acarretadas pela surdez, outros aspectos como condições econômicas e sociais, raça, idade e gênero, que conforme o panorama apresentado, acabaram sendo secundarizados nas investigações.

A pesquisa constituiu em objeto de estudo a emergência de saraus literários nas periferias da cidade de São Paulo, entre 2014 e 2016, por meio do estudo das trajetórias de seus escritores.  Articulando as dimensões da cultura e da educação, a pesquisa se concentrou nos estudos sobre cultura, sob a perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, interrogando os processos históricos de aquisição de capital cultural, relacionando origem social, trajetória escolar e os saraus literários. O trabalho de campo foi realizado em quatro saraus literários, em diferentes regiões de São Paulo. Visando a identificar a posição dos bairros nos quais os saraus acontecem, e onde  faríamos a pesquisa de campo em seguida, realizamos um estudo estatístico das características sociodemográficas da população residente nestes bairros. Por meio da consulta a redes sociais (Facebook), compusemos uma primeira lista de 22 saraus literários que aconteciam regularmente em São Paulo, com atividades divulgadas em redes sociais. Em seguida, definimos aqueles nos quais conduzimos as entrevistas semi-estruturadas e as observações diretas, com líderes de quatro saraus. As entrevistas tiveram como objetivo reconstruir a trajetória escolar, os demais movimentos culturais dos quais participaram e as disposições adquiridas neste processo, visando a lançar luz sobre a emergência dos saraus literários que floresceram em São Paulo no período. Para obter informações sobre o público presente nos saraus pesquisados, aplicamos um questionário (em papel), com o qual produzimos informações sobre a escolaridade, a origem geográfica, a idade, etc. Concluiu-se que, o acesso à escolarização, especialmente, o acesso ao ensino superior, contribuiu de maneira decisiva para a formação de disposições voltadas para a atuação no campo literário, tanto por parte dos poetas e escritores, como por parte do público. Residentes nas periferias de São Paulo, eles são egressos do ensino superior e da escola secundária. Dentre os escritores, muitos deles são diplomados em Letras e buscam desenvolver essas práticas literárias de forma profissional, contornando assim a exclusão dos circuitos dominantes da literatura na cidade.

Hair loss is a disorder in which the amount of hair decreases or falls out more than usual without visible thinning. Hair care requires a variety of cosmetic products such as hair conditioner, cream bath and hair tonic. Hair tonic has several advantages in optimizing efforts to prevent hair loss compared to other hair treatments. Sansevieria leaves (Sansevieria trifasciata) is a plant known as an ornamental plant. Almost all parts of the sansevieria leaves can be used, but not many know that the sansevieria leaves can be used as a hair tonic to treat hair loss. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of maceration and soxhletation methods on the physical stability of hair tonic preparations of sansevieria leaves extract with varying concentrations of 1%, 3% and 6%. Evaluation of the preparation includes organoleptic, pH, specific gravity and viscosity tests. Physical stability tests were carried out at low temperatures (4oC) and high temperatures (40oC). The test results showed (p-value <0.05) there was no effect between maceration and soxhletation methods on the physical stability of the hair tonic preparation of sansevieria leaves extract.
