LITERATURE – “A PAINTING OF AN INWARD EYE”
Authors: Joshi Manisha
Published: March 2021

After fine arts, literature has been another oldest form of the most creative and powerful means of expression. A writer is the most gifted artist, he is not only a juggler of words, but also a painter who with the same dexterity, portrays life in its most realistic and varied forms. Hence, literature whether poetry, drama, prose or fiction can be considered as the finest of arts. Newman has rightly defined literature as, ‘thought expressed in language’ but certainly this thought needs to be subjective for, all other fine-arts like literature are personal in expression, even though they differ in their media. Hence whether a novelist, poet, painter or sculptor, when create their art it is basically their personal vision which they present or communicate through their chosen medium. The close inter-relation between literature and fine-arts can never be denied, that is why it is said that, ‘a poem is a talking picture, while a painting is mute poetry’. A poet in his creative moments is an inspired being, participating in the eternal and infinite and the one. He tries to arrest the divine moments and tries to redeem them from decay. These inspired moments are transitory for from them arises quick succession of thoughts and feelings. Imagination fades yet it illuminates and paints the composition which bears a reflection to the imagination.
SYNTHETIC FOOD COLORS - ARE THEY SAFE?
Authors: Kulkarni Jyoti
Published: March 2021

Colors in foods are always tempting whether they are natural or synthetic. Synthetic colors are commonly used in foods & beverages as they are easily available, economic and intense whereas natural food colors are costly, availability is limited and range of color is also limited but whether synthetic colors are safe enough as far as health is concerned is a serious matter and to work over it is a matter of interest. To fulfil the ultimate goal of reducing the total exposure to colors, data on dietary intake of food colors needs to be generated urgently in the country.

Control problem for the impulse process under stochastic optimization procedure and Levy conditions
Authors: Chabanyuk Ya. M. , Nikitin A. V. , Khimka U. T.
Published: March 2021

A stochastic approximation procedure and a limit generator of the original problem are constructed for a system of stochastic differential equations with Markov switching and impulse perturbation under Levy approximation conditions with control, which is determined by the condition for the extremum of the quality criterion function.The control problem using the stochastic optimization procedure is a generalization of the control problem with the stochastic approximation procedure, which was studied in previous works of the authors. This  generalization is not simple and requires non-trivial approaches to solving the problem.  In particular we discuss how the behavior of the boundary process depends on the prelimiting stochastic evolutionary system in the ergodic Markov environment. The main assumption is the condition for uniform ergodicity of the Markov switching process, that is, the existence of a stationary distribution for the switching process over large time intervals. This allows one to construct explicit algorithms for the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of a controlled process. An important property of the generator of the Markov switching process is that the space in which it is defined splits into the direct sum of its zero-subspace and a subspace of values, followed by the introduction of a projector that acts on the subspace of zeros.For the first time, a model of the control problem for the diffusion transfer process using the stochastic optimization procedure for control problem is proposed. A singular expansion in the small parameter of the generator of the three-component Markov process is obtained, and the problem of a singular perturbation with the representation of the limiting generator of this process is solved.

Properties of single layer potentials for a pseudo- differential equation related to a linear transformation of a rotationally invariant stable stochastic process
Authors: Mamalyha Kh. V. , Osypchuk M. M.
Published: March 2021

This article is aimed at determining existence conditions of single layer potentials for pseudo-differential equations related to some linear transformations of a rotationally invariant stable stochastic process in a multidimensional Euclidean space and investigating their properties as well. The carrier surface of the potential is smooth enough. In this article, we consider two main cases: the first, when this surface is bounded and closed; the second, when it is unbounded, but could be presented by an explicit equation in some coordinate system. The density of this potential is a continuous function. It is bounded with respect to the spatial variable and, probably, has an integrable singularity with respect to the time variable at zero. Classic properties of this potential, including a jump theorem of the action result of some operator (an analog of the co-normal differential) at its surface points, considered.

A rotationally invariant $\alpha$-stable stochastic process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a L\'{e}vy process with the characte\-ristic function of its value in the moment of time $t>0$ defined by the expression $\exp\{-tc|\xi|^\alpha\}$, $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^d$, where $\alpha\in(0,2]$, $c>0$ are some constants. If $\alpha=2$ and $c=1/2$, we get Brownian motion and classic theory of potential. There are many different results in this case. The situation of $\alpha\in(1,2)$ is considered in this paper. We study constant and invertible linear transformations of the rotationally invariant $\alpha$-stable stochastic process. The related pseudo-differential equation is the parabolic equation of the order $\alpha$ of the ``heat'' type in which the operator with respect to the spatial variable is the process generator. The single layer potential is constructed in the same way as the single layer potential for the heat equation in the classical theory of potentials. That is, we use the fundamental solution of the equation, which is the transition probability density of the related process. In our theory, the role of the gradient operator is performed by some vector pseudo-differential operator of the order $\alpha-1$. We have already studied the following main properties of the single layer potentials: the single layer potential is a solution of the relating equation outside of the carrier surface and the jump theorem is held. These properties can be useful to solving initial boundary value problems for the considered equations.
BASIC CONCEPTS OF YEVHEN MALANIUK’S NATIONAL-PHILOSOPHICAL INTERPRETATION: ESEISTIC DISCOURSE
Authors:   Ivan Franko Drohobych State Pedagogical University, Ivanyshyn Petro
Published: March 2021

The purpose of the research is to outline the structure of the main methodological ideas within the frames of interpretive thinking in the essay of the famous Vistnyk’s writer, critic and essayist Yevhen Malaniuk. Considering the purpose and tasks of the studio, an interdisciplinary methodological base, related to the author’s “national approach”, has been worked out. The epistemological potential of national philosophy as a philosophy of national existence, national science as a theory of nation, hermeneutics as a theory and practice of interpretation and post-colonialism as interpretation of cultural phenomena from the standpoint of anti- and post-imperial consciousness are used in the work. The scientific novelty is that on the basis of the previous hermeneutic generalization and definition of national-existential methodology, a propaedeutic outlining of the structure of national-philosophical concepts within the frames of the essayistic interpretation of reality in Ye. Malaniuk is proposed. In the methodological sense, the writer’s essayism is structured by such concepts as nation-centrism, idealism, voluntarism, heroism, and can be considered as one of the variants (close by the experiences of D. Dontsov, Yu. Lypa, M. Mukhyn, etc.) of the Vistnyk’s national-philosophical (national-existential, nationalistic or nation-centric) hermeneutics, that is, the way of understanding, which the author by himself outlined as a “national approach”. The support of Ye. Malaniuk as a culture-philosopher and exegete on the eternal nation-centric values and criteria in his essayistic studies makes his reflections not only historically interesting, but also theoretically productive, classically important for the development of modern Ukrainian hermeneutics and humanities in general.

The article deals with the mental-existential relationship between ethnoculture, national identity and media culture as a necessary factor for their preservation, transformation, on the example of national original algorithms, matrix models, taking into account global tendencies and Ukrainian archetypal-specific features in Ukraine. the media actively serve the domestic oligarchs in their information-virtual and real wars among themselves and the same expansive alien humanitarian acts by curtailing ethno-cultural programs-projects on national radio, on television, in the press, or offering the recipient instead of a pop pointer, without even communicating to the audience the information stipulated in the media laws − information support-protection-development of ethno-culture national product in the domestic and foreign/diaspora mass media, the support of ethnoculture by NGOs and the state institutions themselves. In the context of the study of the cultural national socio-humanitarian space, the article diagnoses and predicts the model of creating and preserving in it the dynamic equilibrium of the ethno-cultural space, in which the nation must remember the struggle for access to information and its primary sources both as an individual and the state as a whole, culture the transfer of information, which in the process of globalization is becoming a paramount commodity, an egregore, and in the post-traumatic, interrupted-compensatory cultural-information space close rehabilitation mechanisms for national identity to become a real factor in strengthening the state − and vice versa in the context of adequate laws («Law about press and other mass media», Law «About printed media (press) in Ukraine», Law «About Information», «Law about Languages», etc.) and their actual effect in creating motivational mechanisms for preserving/protecting the Ukrainian language, as one of the main identifiers of national identity, information support for its expansion as labels cultural and geostrategic areas.

It is shown that the cumulative synergistic effect is accumulated due to both the mutual positive influence of the RF National Project indicators on each other, and due to introducing the proposed methodology for managing the RSES, which allows timely adjusting the managerial impact on the RSES, which will give the opportunity to achieve the declared targets of the RF National Projects at the stated time.
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF ENERGY SPECTRA FORMED AT ACCELERATING THE ELECTRONS BY RELATIVISTIC INTENSIVE GAUSSIAN AND LAGUERRE LASER PULSES
Authors: Shiryaev Oleg
Published: March 2021

A mathematical model is constructed that describes the propagation of laser pulses in vacuum, taking into account the corrections due to their finite duration. On its basis, using Newton relativistic equations with the corresponding Lorentz force, the energy spectra of an ensemble of electrons are simulated by relativistically intense laser radiation. The characteristics of these spectra are studied for the cases of Gaussian and Laguerre optical pulses. Electronic spectra in the fixed angular ranges are localized around the relativistic maxima in the case of Gaussian pulses, but are substantially non-monoenergetic in the case of Laguerre pulses.

Published: March 2021

Gilaburu is an important fruit species in terms of healthy effects, having potential for use as alternative medicine and suitable for industrial product processing. In this context, physico-chemical characteristics of three different gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) genotypes grown under the ecological conditions of Kayseri, Turkey were determined. In addition, correlations among the investigated characteristics were calculated and their potential to be handled together was revealed. According to results, Fruit width, fruit length and fruit weight characteristics varied between 7.40-7.95 mm, 7.65-8.81 mm and 0.30-0.37 g, respectively. Genotype 3 showed the highest values in terms of pomological characteristics, while the lowest values were obtained from Genotype 1. Among the chemical properties; pH, soluble solid content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) values ranged from 3.53 (Genotype 1) to 3.97 (Genotype 2), 10.46 (Genotype 1) to 12.72 (Genotype 2) and 1.56 (Genotype 2) to 2.16 (Genotype 1), respectively. A high level of positive correlation was found between fruit width and fruit length (r = 0.73 ***). Also, these properties have been found to increase fruit weight. While a highly negative correlation was found between titratable acidity and pH (r = -0.95 ***), it was determined that the increase in fruit size and weight decreased dry matter accumulation.
Sirolpidium bryopsidis, a parasite of green algae, is probably conspecific with Pontisma lagenidioides, a parasite of red algae
Authors: Buaya A.T. , Scholz B. , Thines M.
Published: March 2021

The genus Sirolpidium (Sirolpidiaceae) of the Oomycota includes several species of holocarpic obligate aquatic parasites. These organisms are widely occurring in marine and freshwater habitats, mostly infecting filamentous green algae. Presently, all species are
only known from their morphology and descriptive life cycle traits. None of the seven species classified in Sirolpidium, including the type species, S. bryopsidis, has been rediscovered and studied for their molecular phylogeny, so far. Originally, the genus was established to
accommodate all parasites of filamentous marine green algae. In the past few decades, however, Sirolpidium has undergone multiple taxonomic revisions and several species parasitic in other host groups were added to the genus. While the phylogeny of the marine rhodophyte-and phaeophyteinfecting
genera Pontisma and Eurychasma, respectively, has only been resolved recently, the taxonomic placement of the chlorophyte-infecting genus Sirolpidium remained unresolved. In the present study, we report the phylogenetic placement of Sirolpidium bryopsidis infecting
the filamentous marine green algae Capsosiphon fulvescens sampled from Skagaströnd in Northwest Iceland. Phylogenetic reconstructions revealed that S. bryopsidis is either conspecific or at least very closely related to the type species of Pontisma, Po. lagenidioides.
Consequently, the type species of genus Sirolpidium, S. bryopsidis, is reclassified to Pontisma. Further infection trials are needed to determine if Po. bryopsidis and Po. lagenidioides are conspecific or closely related. In either case, the apparently recent
host jump from red to green algae is remarkable, as it opens the possibility for radiation in a largely divergent eukaryotic lineage.

The concept of choosing a life partner for young people today needs more attention. Incorrect selection will lead them to circumstances and family situations that are certainly not based on the Word of God. The planting of children's faith must begin at an early age so that it can become a guide for them when they grow up and start thinking about family life. The basics and criteria in choosing a marriage partner according to Christian teachings must be planted in children so that wherever they are or whatever environment they are in, they are still able to hold and have a principle of choosing the right life partner according to the Bible. , The family is a fellowship consisting of people who are bound by each other by the most close ties of blood and social relations. How a child grows into adulthood is influenced by the family. Parents must be good models of Christian faith in order to be effective role models for the internalization of Christian belief systems, values and patterns of behavior. Parents must first live in truth in order to be a model of faith for children, in 2 Corinthians 6: 14-15. The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthians about a spouse because there were believers there who had a spouse who did not believe in Jesus. The Apostle Paul also said that no similarities could be found through marriage that did not worship the same God.
BUB1 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase, BUB1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Analysis of a separate microarray dataset revealed that BUB1 was also differentially expressed in brain metastatic tissues. BUB1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of BUB1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of BUB1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

The mathematical nature of the universe and consciousness: the universe is a collection of self-driven mathematical entities; consciousness is a Turing machine’s subjective mathematical model of the objective universe
Authors: Yu Xiaoyang
Published: March 2021

Humans are limited in what they know by the technical limitation of their cortical language network. A reality is a situation model. The universe is a collection of self-driven mathematical entities. If we are happy to accept randomness, it’s obviously possible that all other so-called “worlds” in the many-worlds interpretation don’t exist objectively. From the viewpoint of an imagined external observer (who is located somewhere outside of all worlds), in all worlds, every self-driven elementary particle is changing its state to match its fated state, together form a single fated self-driven state machine; the so-called “subjective reality” (aka the so-called “subjective conscious experience”) is actually the use of a mathematical model (MM) by a Turing machine (TM). The so-called “subjective reality” shouldn’t be able to alter/impact the fated world line of any elementary particle within this world. Except one objective MM which is a fitted MM of the objective reality, every other causality is not an objective MM but a Granger causality, and is an under-fitted MM of the objective reality.
GEREJA DAN KEMISKINAN:DISKURSUS PERAN GEREJA DI TENGAH KEMISKINAN

Fibry Jati Nugroho, Gereja dan Kemiskinan: Diskursus Peran Gereja di Tengah Kemiskinan.Permasalahan kemiskinan bukan hanya menjadi masalah lokal, namun menjadi masalah yang digumulkan oleh dunia. Gereja sebagai mandataris Tuhan di tengah dunia, dituntut untuk dapat berperan dalam membantu masalah kemiskinan. Bagaimanakah sewajarnya gereja berperan di tengah kemiskinan masyarakat? Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis, serta meminjam pemikiran Karl Marx,untuk menelisik peran gereja dalam membantu mengatasi permasalahan kemiskinan. Panggilan gereja yang seharusnya adalah untuk menyuarakan ketidakadilan dan penindasan hak-hak orang miskin. Gereja hadir untuk berpihak kepada yang lemah, tidak berdaya, miskin, dan yang terpinggirkan. Jika gereja tidak memiliki keperpihakan kepada yang lemah, maka kehadiran gereja tidak memiliki makna. Gereja perlu terus menerus menyuarakan kritik profetisnya tanpa pandang bulu terhadap berbagai penyalahgunaan kekuasaan, terjadinya ketidakadilan, terampasnya hak-hak masyarakat, dan terhadap sistim yang menindas serta memiskinkan manusia. Spiritualitas dan religiusitas jemaat juga harus sampai kepada sebuah kesalehan sosial, di mana energi spiritual yang dimiliki jemaat mampu untuk mendorong kepeduliannya akan berbagai persoalan kehidupan masyarakat. Spiritualitas seperti inilah yang harus menjadi perhatian gereja dalam membangun kehidupan jemaat. Salib harus dipahami sebagai refleksi atas penderitaan dan kematian Kristus, namun di saat yang sama pula harus mampu membuka mata dan telinga akan penderitaan, kesengsaraan, dan pengharapan manusia akan harkat dan martabatnya sebagai manusia. Disitulah gereja berperan.

Mechanical properties of quartz sand and gypsum powder (plaster) mixtures: implications for laboratory model analogues for the Earth’s upper crust
Authors: Poppe Sam , Holohan Eoghan P. , Rudolf Michael , Rosenau Matthias , Galland Olivier , Delcamp Audray , Kervyn Matthieu
Published: March 2021

Granular materials are a useful analogue for the Earth’s crust in laboratory models of deformation. Constraining their mechanical properties is critical for such model’s scaling and interpretation. Much information exists about monomineralic granular materials, such as quartz sand, but the mechanical characteristics of bimineralic mixtures, such as commonly-used quartz sand mixed with gypsum powder (i.e. plaster), are largely unconstrained. We used several mechanical tests (density, tensile, extension, shear) to constrain the failure envelope of various sand-plaster mixtures. We then fitted linear Coulomb and parabolic Griffith failure criteria to obtain cohesions and friction coefficients. Tests of the effects of emplacement technique, compaction and humidity demonstrated that the most reproducible rheology is given by oven-drying, pouring and mechanically compacting sand-plaster mixtures into their experimentation container. As plaster content increases, the tensile strength of dry sand-plaster mixtures increases from near zero (pure quartz sand) to 166±24 Pa (pure plaster). The cohesion increases from near zero to 250±21 Pa. The friction coefficient varies from 0.54±0.08 (sand) to 0.96±0.08 (20 weight% plaster). The mechanical behaviour of the resulting mixtures shifts at 20-35 weight% plaster from brittle Coulomb failure along a linear failure criterion, to more complex brittle-plastic Coulomb-Griffith failure along a non-linear failure criterion. With increasing plaster content, the brittle-plastic transition occurs at decreasing depth within a pile of sand-plaster mixture. We infer that the identified transitions in mechanical behaviour with increasing plaster content relate to (1) increasing porosities, (2) increasing grain size distributions, and (3) a decrease in sand-sand grain contacts and corresponding increase in contacts of anisotropic gypsum-gypsum grains. The presented characterisation enables a more quantitative scaling of the mechanical behaviour of sand-plaster mixtures, including their tensile strength. Sand-plaster mixtures can thereby realistically simulate brittle-plastic properties of the Earth’s crust in scaled laboratory models.
No Effect of Nature Representations on State Anxiety, Actual and Perceived Noise
Authors: Korbmacher Max , Wright Lynn
Published: March 2021

Previous research indicates that nature and nature representations might have positive effects and noise negative effects on various facets of life, such as performance, perceived life quality, physical and mental health. In this intervention, we observed whether posters showing forests can be used to reduce actual noise, perceived noise, and state anxiety in university library users. Measurements were taken twice daily for a 5-day period pre-intervention and again during the intervention, when posters were installed. No significant differences were found perceived or actual noise levels and state anxiety between pre-intervention and intervention phase. Correlations between actual and perceived noise, and actual noise and state anxiety were inconclusive. Finally, regression models with actual and perceived (overall and talking) noise and study phase as predictors delivered mixed results only explaining a small portion of the variance of state anxiety. The absence of an observed effect of nature representations on state anxiety, as well as actual and perceived noise is discussed.

This paper presents an argument to call for more focus in food technology innovation in food policy. Failed food policy had bring devastated results. Some examples of failed food policy can be seen through three famine cases (Ireland, India and North Korea) discussed here that occurs throughout the 20th century. However, there are some themes from the previous failed policy are still implemented in current food policy. The similar themes are green revolution, sustainable intensification, dependency on importation and nutritional well-being. This paper also discuss the need to emphasize the researches on available resources to create novel food products, which is a gap on various food policies.

African eggplants, Solanum melongena fruit (SMF) and Solanum aethiopicum fruit (SAF) are widely cultivated in Nigeria and across the Africa. This study is designed to evaluate and compare the proximate and phytochemical components of SMF and SAF. Proximate composition of both fruit samples shows that SMF has higher moisture content than SAF. Protein, fats and ash contents were non-significantly (p < 0.05) higher in SAF compared with SMF. The fibre content was 3.11 ± 0.03 and 2.98 ± 0.08 % for SMF and SAF, respectively. The carbohydrate content of SAF (4.14± 0.11%) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of SMF (2.42 ± 0.12%). The results obtained for the phytochemical composition show that cardiac glycosides, anthocyanins and anthraquinone are low for both fruit samples. The phenolic content of SMF was 5.80 ± 0.4 g and that of SAF was 4.17 ± 0.03 g. In this study, we reported a flavonoid content of 2.80 ± 0.08 and 1.46 ± 0.01 g, as well as saponin content of 1.34 ± 0.31 and 0.81 ± 0.23 g for SMF and SAF, respectively. SAF has a tannin content of 0.82 ± 0.14 g, and 1.28 ± 0.05 g for SMF. Eighteen amino acids were identified (Essential and non-essential amino acids) with glutamine having the highest percentage (94.69%) and the lowest in percentage was Threonine (0.014%). In conclusion, the results of this study show that SMF and SAF have adequate nutritional value could be valuable raw material for health and pharmaceutical industries.

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic is an on-going devastating global event. It starts from December 2019 and is yet to resolve. To date, there are more than 25 million people diagnosed and 850 thousand deaths with COVID-19 (CDC, 2020). Healthcare services throughout the world are facing immense challenges. History taking has been inevitably the most emphasized tool in approaching all patients. However, the usefulness of medical history strongly depends on the patient’s story offered. Incorrect or hidden history may not only bring wrong diagnosis but endanger health care personnel.Objectives: This case series is aimed to describe the importance of clinical history-taking in assessing patients associated with COVID-19 symptoms or history.Methods: Assessment through interview method in taking patient history was used. The focus of history taking was related to health and COVID-19 history. The data collected is a type of secondary data from medical reports of patients who come to receive medical services at the Emergency and Trauma Department, General Public Hospital Taiping, Perak. A total of three cases are taken using the purposive sampling technique. Data is analysed and presented in the form of qualitative data.Results: This study found that the clinical history taking through interview method has successfully identified three patients with positive COVID-19 through assessment conducted.Conclusion: Therefore, the study proved that effective history taking implemented by paramedics was able to identify patients with positive COVID-19 and to plan an appropriate management and help them get discharged without complications. All physicians and other health care practitioners in the Emergency Department or in the clinical ward are also advised to be more competent by increasing their level of knowledge and skills related to assessing patients through effective clinical history taking.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S13

Introduction: Since time immemorial, mushrooms have been used as a part of human diet, some of them are very well known for their nutritive and medicinal properties and some are known to cause poisoning to the human body. A number of post ingestion fatalities due to poisonous mushrooms has been reported worldwide. These poisonous mushrooms are often misidentified as edible ones, which accounts for accidental poisoning.Objective: The main objective of this report was to describe the clinical manifestations of mushroom poisoning cases presented at the Emergency Department (ED), Taiping Hospital.Case Presentation: There were two cases presented, who suffered from moderate dehydration due to acute gastroenteritis after taking 'delicious mushrooms', also known as Chlorophyllum Molybdites. This study found that both cases had complaints of abdominal cramping, diarrhoea and vomiting more than twenty times a day. There was no history of numbness or weakness noted, and no chest pain or shortness of breath. On arrival, both cases presented signs of moderate dehydration with coated tongue and normal blood pressure, with slightly increased in temperature (37.30C). Abdomen was soft but discomfort upon palpation and described as bloated. Both cases were resuscitated with 20ml/kg normal saline. Charcoal, antiemetic, proton pump inhibitor and ceftriaxone antibiotic were given at the ED. Both survived and were treated as infectious acute gastroenteritis. Nausea and vomiting were the most common early symptoms of intoxication and should be considered as a medical emergency. Alpha Amanitin levels should be checked where possible if amanita poisoning is suspected. An early diagnosis and immediate treatment are required for a successful outcome.Conclusion: All patients with the history of mushroom ingestion should be admitted. If laboratory detection of toxin is not available, history of mushroom ingestion, clinical manifestation and their trends could define mushroom poisoning.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S17

Introduction: In Malaysia, the rate of adolescents involved in sexual activities has increased and starts at an earlier age. Data from NHMS 2017 showed that 7.3% among surveyed 13 to 17 years-old adolescents have already had sex. The rate of teenage pregnancies is also increasing at 3.7-3.9% between the years 2009 until 2011. Therefore, an effective SRH Programme should be conducted in schools to equip them with adequate knowledge regarding this subject.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 145 randomly selected secondary school students aged 13 to 15 years old, attending the SRH Programme in a secondary school in Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia. The objective of this programme is to deliver knowledge and promote awareness among adolescents regarding SRH. The programme consists of intervention using adolescent-friendly module and games. A pre- and post-test were given to the participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme using the validated SRH questionnaire (Malay version). The questionnaire consists of fourteen and six items for knowledge and attitude, respectively.Results: The result showed an increase in the mean knowledge score (±SD) after the SRH Programme at the school from 7.25 ± 2.44 for pre-test to 9.70 ± 3.17 for post-test. The mean difference in pre- and post-test was 2.45 (95% CI: 2.02, 2.87) and was statistically significant (p<0.001). In terms of attitudes, the majority of the students felt that they have enough knowledge to make a gooddecision regarding sexual reproductive health issues after the SRH programme. However, there was only a small increment with regards to their attitudes on assertiveness.Conclusion: This study demonstrated an increase in the level of knowledge among adolescents in Cheras after the SRH programme using the adolescent-friendly module and games. However, there is no significant change in attitude among adolescents regarding SRH.Future SRH programmes need to be done regularly to instil positive attitudes among adolescents in dealing withsexual reproductive dilemmas.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S20

Introduction: For years, thousands of the Rohingya have fled Myanmar to reside in different states in Malaysia. Without any legal status, they have limited access to government medical and healthcare facilities. This is because Malaysia is not a State party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. IMAM Response and Relief Team (IMARET), a medical NGO, has organized charity clinics for this minority group to provide basic medical aids. Objectives: To identify common medical problems and medications prescribed during IMARET charity clinics in Kelantan. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among Rohingya refugees attending IMARET charity clinics in Kelantan from June 2017 until May 2018. Data was collected from a medical clerking sheet. Medical problems were classified using ICD-10 classification, while medications prescribed were classified according to the first level of ATC code. Data were analysed using SPSS Version 24.0. Results: From 315 patients attended the clinic, most of the patients are of male gender (n=232, 73.1%). Mean age of the patients was 21.9 + 13.6 years (range: 1 – 75). Patients attended either one of the clinic locations; Tanah Merah (n=153, 48.5%), PengkalanChepa (n=78, 24.8%), and Kok Lanas (n=84, 26.6%). Most common medical problems observed were related to musculoskeletal system (n=104, 19.9%), mostly involving myalgia (n=96, 30.5%). Other common problems involved respiratory system (n=94, 18.0%), digestive system (n=68, 13.0%), and skin problems (n=57, 10.9%). Medications used for gastrointestinal disorders were mostly being prescribed in the clinics (n=179, 56.8%), followed by medications used for nervous system (n=114, 36.2%) and respiratory system (n=97, 30.8%). Most frequently prescribed medications include paracetamol, diclofenac, chlorpheniramine and multivitamins. Conclusion: Common medical problems observed among Rohingya refugees include myalgia, respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, medications used to treat these problems were shown to be frequently prescribed during clinics.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S26
