Authors: Atuhaire Ruth
Published: November 2019

Background Maternal health care and treatment services have a bearing on maternal mortality. Direct and Indirect factors affecting Maternal health outcomes therefore require understanding to enable well targeted interventions. This study, therefore, assessed the interrelationships between early antenatal care, health facility delivery and early postnatal care.Methods We investigated Maternal Health services using utilizing Antenatal care (ANC) within three months of pregnancy, Health facility delivery and utilizing postnatal care (PNC) within 48 hours after childbirth. The 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey data was used. During analysis, a Generalized Structural Equation Model using logistic link and binomial family option was used. The interrelated (Endogenous) outcomes were timely ANC, health facility delivery and timely PNC.Results Timely ANC (aOR=1.04; 95% CI=0.95-1.14) and(aOR=1.1; 95% CI=1.00-1.26) was directly related to increased odds of health facility delivery and timely PNC respectively. Factors that increased the odds of timely ANC as a mediating factor for health facility delivery and timely PNC were women age 35-39 (aOR=1.18; 95% CI=0.99-1.24) compared to women age 15-19, completing primary seven (aOR=1.68; 95% CI=1.58-1.81) compared to some primary, available health workers (aOR=1.06; 95% CI=0.97-1.18), complications (aOR=2.04; 95% CI=1.89-2.26) and desire for pregnancy(aOR=1.15; 95% CI=1.03-1.36). Factors that reduced the odds of timely ANC were being married (aOR=0.93; 95% CI=0.89-1.20), distance and cost of service being problematic (aOR=0.97; 95% CI=0.85-1.1) (aOR=0.5; 95% CI=0.37-0.82) respectively. Factors that significantly influenced health facility delivery through timely ANC were; unmarried (OR=1.03; (=1.04*0.99)), distance being problematic ((aOR=1.0; (=1.04*0.97)) and complications (aOR=2.02; (=1.04*1.94)). Factors that significantly influenced timely PNC through timely ANC were; women age 35-39 (aOR=1.3; (=1.18*1.1)) compared to 15-19, completing primary seven (aOR=1.68; (=1.68*1.1))compared to some primary and service cost being problematic (aOR=0.55; (=0.5*1.1)). Surprisingly, health facility delivery was not statistically significant as a mediator for timely PNC.Conclusion Attending antenatal care within first trimester was a mediating factor for health facility delivery and early postnatal care. Interventions in maternal health should focus on factors that increase antenatal care first trimester attendance in resource limited settings. Furthermore, Government should reduce on costs of attaining all maternal health services and emphasize girl education completion.
Neurotransmitter, Antioxidant and Anti-neuroinflammatory Mechanistic Potentials of Herbal Medicines in Ameliorating Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Kardani Arefeh , Soltani Amin , Sewell Robert D.E. , Shahrani Mehrdad , Rafieian-Kopaei Mahmoud
Published: November 2019

Background:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental issue that disrupts behavior,
nonverbal communication, and social interaction, impacting all aspects of an individual’s social development.
The underlying origin of autism is unclear, however, oxidative stress, as well as serotonergic, adrenergic and
dopaminergic systems are thought to be implicated in ASD. Despite the fact that there is no effective medication
for autism, current pharmacological treatments are utilized to ameliorate some of the symptoms such as selfmutilation,
aggression, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors, inattention, hyperactivity, and sleep disorders.

Methods:

In accord with the literature regarding the activity of herbal medicines on neurotransmitter function, we
aimed to review the most worthy medicinal herbs possessing neuroprotective effects.

Results:

Based on the outcome, medicinal herbs such as Zingiber officinale, Astragalus membranaceu, Ginkgo
biloba, Centella asiatica and Acorus calamus, have antioxidant activity, which can influence neurotransmitter
systems and are potentially neuroprotective.

Conclusions:

Consequently, these herbs, in theory at least, appear to be suitable candidates within an overall management
strategy for those on the autism spectrum.

Authors: Espinoza-Salinas Alexis , González-Jurado José , Arenas-Sanchez Giovanny , Fuentealba-Sepúlveda Soledad , Cabezas-Gaete Isaias , Bobadilla-Olivares Marcelo , Burdiles-Alvarez Arnaldo
Published: November 2019

Background:

Arterial hypertension is among the leading causes of mortality worldwide.
The primary non-pharmacological management of arterial hypertension is isometric grip training,
which has shown better results than pharmacological methods; however, it has not been thoroughly
studied in large muscle groups.

Objective:

This study compared the pressor response of isometric exercise training at different intensities,
in large groups versus small muscle groups, in sedentary eutrophic and overweight people
aged 20-29 years.

Methods:

A sample of 93 people (57 people with excess weight and 36 people of normal weight)
participated in isometric training for 5 days, subdivided into leg press vs. handgrip strength, with
different intensities for each subgroup (30 and 50%, 1 RM). Before and after the 5 training days, Heart
Rate Variability (HRV) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BSBP-BDBP and PSBP-PDBP,
were measured to evaluate the state of sympathetic activation at rest and pressor response.

Results:

Changes with significant differences (p <0.05) in terms of pre-post training measurements
in the eutrophic group were the BSBP-PSBP variables at 30% and 50% 1 RM for manual isometric
grip strength. In the excess weight group, the only significant change was the PSBP variable in
handgrip strength at 30% 1 RM. It should be noted that in all cases, blood pressure values reduced.

Conclusion:

Isometric strength exercises in large and small muscle groups show a tendency to reduce
blood pressure values; however, the isometric handgrip force at 30% 1 RM shows statistically
significant reductions in blood pressure values.
Synthesis of Emotional Speech by Prosody Modification of Vowel Segments of Neutral Speech
Authors: Fahad Md Shah , Singh Shreya , Gupta Shruti , Deepak Akshay , Abhinav
Published: November 2019

Background:

Emotional speech synthesis is the process of synthesising emotions in a
neutral speech – potentially generated by a text-to-speech system – to make an artificial humanmachine
interaction human-like. It typically involves analysis and modification of speech
parameters. Existing work on speech synthesis involving modification of prosody parameters does
so at sentence, word, and syllable level. However, further fine-grained modification at vowel level
has not been explored yet, thereby motivating our work.

Objective:

To explore prosody parameters at vowel level for emotion synthesis.

Methods:

Our work modifies prosody features (duration, pitch, and intensity) for emotion
synthesis. Specifically, it modifies the duration parameter of vowel-like and pause regions and the
pitch and intensity parameters of only vowel-like regions. The modification is gender specific
using emotional speech templates stored in a database and done using Pitch Synchronous Overlap
and Add (PSOLA) method.

Results:

Comparison was done with the existing work on prosody modification at sentence, word
and syllable label on IITKGP-SEHSC database. Improvements of 8.14%, 13.56%, and 2.80% for
emotions angry, happy, and fear respectively were obtained for the relative mean opinion score.
This was due to: (1) prosody modification at vowel-level being more fine-grained than sentence,
word, or syllable level and (2) prosody patterns not being generated for consonant regions because
vocal cords do not vibrate during consonant production.

Conclusion:

Our proposed work shows that an emotional speech generated using prosody
modification at vowel-level is more convincible than prosody modification at sentence, word and
syllable level.
Use of metakaolin as supplementary cementitious material in concrete, with focus on durability properties
Authors: Bakera Alice T , Alexander Mark G
Published: November 2019

Numerous research efforts on metakaolin as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) have been undertaken in the past 20 years. This material, while relatively expensive mainly due to low production volumes worldwide, nevertheless has a significantly lower production cost than Portland cement. However, industry remains tentative in considering metakaolin in concrete. This paper takes the view that industry should consider investing in the production and application of metakaolin in appropriate concrete projects, particularly in aggressive environments where plain Portland cement may be inadequate, and where other SCMs may not readily be available. The main contribution of the paper is a global review of recent studies on the use of metakaolin in different types of concrete. This international experience is then compared with results from a study on the durability performance of metakaolin concrete using local materials in the Western Cape province of South Africa, as a means of concrete performance improvement. The study investigates concrete durability properties: penetrability (sorptivity, permeability, conductivity and diffusion), mitigation of Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), and carbonation resistance. The concretes were prepared with three water-binder ratios (0.4, 0.5 and 0.6), and with metakaolin replacement levels of 0% (control), 10%, 15% and 20%. Performance results show that, with increasing metakaolin content, the transport properties of concrete are considerably improved, ASR expansion due to a highly reactive local aggregate decreases to non-deleterious levels, while no detrimental effect on carbonation is observed. Thus, metakaolin could serve as a valuable SCM to enhance the durability performance of concrete in local aggressive environments.

Authors: Imawan Arga Pribadi , Haryanto Haryanto
Published: November 2019

Electoral contestations at the village level have seemingly been an ‘isolated’ phenomenon in social and political studies. Most studies have focused on local executive and legislative elections, as well as the political representations they involve. This article, instead, looks to the village level, examining the political representation involved in the village chief  elections of  Dlingo, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Qualitative research methods (interviews, live-in observations) were conducted before, during, and after the elections. This study finds that the rise of  the two candidates could be traced to various factors and tendencies, and that the models of  political representation at the village chief  (executive) level are similar to those in legislature.
Observación: la importancia del arte en la medicina
Authors: Hofmann Salcedo Pablo
Published: November 2019

A lo largo de los años, me he enfrentado a momentos de desconcierto, principalmente al escuchar a algunos médicos, generales y especialistas, comentar que Embriología es únicamente una “materia filtro” del plan de estudios. Esos momentos han sido motivo de reflexión y como resultado he intentado atender la necesidad de generar competencias en los estudiantes de primer año de la Licenciatura de Médico Cirujano en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (unam); para ello he recurrido al uso de arte pictórico con el fin de favorecer el desarrollo de la capacidad de observación.
El estudio secuencial de las obras pictóricas se realiza mediante el diálogo con y entre los estudiantes, mediante preguntas detonadoras. El beneficio para la formación de médicos radica en que, además de fortalecer y afinar la capacidad de observación, los médicos en formación se sensibilizan y se hacen más empáticos con sus pacientes. Aunque la incorporación del arte visual ha sido una de las estrategias con las que he experimentado, como resultado de la reflexión, ha hecho falta evaluar la eficacia en el logro de las bondades descritas por distintos autores con el uso de estas dinámicas de enseñanza en los grupos de estudiantes a mi cargo. En necesario, entonces, diseñar instrumentos de evaluación pertinentes para llevar a cabo la comparación con grupos de estudiantes que hayan revisado los contenidos de la asignatura de una manera tradicional.

Penjualan makanan di pinggir jalan banyak ditemui di daerah sekitar perkantoran dan area pendidikan. Masyarakat memilih membeli makanan dari penjualan di pinggir jalan dengan alasan harga yang murah dan kemudahan dalam mendapatkannya. Namun kondisi lingkungan yang buruk dapat mengkotaminasi makanan tersebut dengan bakteri penyebab penyakit. Salah satu mikroorganisme yang berpotensi mengkotaminasi makanan adalah Escherichia coli. Bakteri tersebut dapat mengakibatkan penyakit pada sistem pencernaan. Kajian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi keberadaan Escherichia coli dan coliform pada makanan yang dijual di pinggir jalan pada daerah pendidikan sekitar Jalan Setibabudhi, Kota Bandung. Sampel makanan yang dipilih untuk diuji adalah bakso, buah jambu dan tahu. Uji yang dilakukan di laboratorium mikrobiologi Teknik Lingkungan meliputi uji pendugaan melihat reaksi gas dan asam yang ditimbulkan serta uji penegasan untuk mengidentifikasi keberadaan jenis mikroorganisme yang terkandung dalam sampel makanan tersebut. Uji laboratorium menunjukkan bahwa seluruh jenis sampel, baik bakso, buah jambu maupun tahu teridentifikasi bakteri Escherichia coli. Tingkat kontaminasi yang paling tinggi diperlihatkan oleh tahu. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, maka direkomendasikan agar higienitas penjual makanan di pinggir jalan ditingkatkan baik dari alat yang digunakan maupun lingkungan penjualan. Isolasi yang baik dapat diterapkan untuk makanan agar tidak terkontaminasi dengan pencemar yang terdapat pada lingkungan. Selain itu, direkomendasikan juga agar konsumen dapat melakukan pemrosesan tambahan sebelum mengkonsumsi makanan tersebut.

Salah satu sumber pencemaran udara di kota besar adalah emisi gas buang yang berasal dari kendaraan. Untuk mengurangi emisi gas buang tersebut, alternatif yang sering digunakan adalah ionizer bahan bakar minyak (BBM) yang pada prinsipnya dapat meningkatkan pembakaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat efektifitas penggunaan ionizer BBM tersebut untuk mengurangi emisi gas karbon monoksida (CO) dan hidrokarbon (HC) dari proses pembakaran BBM jenis Premium, Pertalite dan Pertamax. Alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur emisi gas buang adalah exhaust gas analyzer, sedangkan kendaraan bermotor yang digunakan adalah mobil dengan sistem karburator. Hasil pengukuran emisi CO dan HC tersebut kemudian diolah untuk mengetahui tingkat efektivitas ionizer BBM. Hasil pengolahan data memperlihatkan bahwa ionizer BBM memiliki efisiensi penurunan emisi yang berbeda-beda untuk tiap jenis bahan bakar. Penurunan emisi gas CO paling tinggi terjadi pada bahan bakar pertamax sebesar 0,31%, sedangkan penurunan emisi gas HC mencapai sebesar 347,66 ppm. Hasil tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa efektifitas ionizer BBM dalam mengurangi emisi CO dan HC relatif rendah.
