Modeling SARS-CoV-2 spread with dynamic isolation
Authors: Islam Md. Azmir Ibne , Shanta Sharmin Sultana , Rahman Ashrafur
Published: November 2021

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is spreading with a greater intensity across the globe. The synchrony of public health interventions and epidemic waves signify the importance of evaluation of the underline interventions.
Method: We developed a mathematical model to present the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and to analyze the impact of key nonpharmaceutical interventions such as isolation and screening program on the disease outcomes to the people of New Jersey, USA. We introduced a dynamic isolation of susceptible population with a constant (imposed) and infection oriented interventions. Epidemiological and demographic data are used to estimate the model parameters. The baseline case was explored further to showcase several critical and predictive scenarios.
Results and analysis: The model simulations are in good agreement with the infection data for the period of 5 March 2020 to 31 January 2021. Dynamic isolation and screening program are found to be potential measures that can alter the course of epidemic. A  7% increase in isolation rate may result in a 31% reduction of epidemic peak whereas a 3 times increase in screening rate may reduce the epidemic peak by 35%. The model predicts that nearly 9.7% to 12% of the total population of New Jersey may become infected within the middle of July 2021 along with 24.6 to 27.3 thousand cumulative deaths. Within a wide spectrum of probable scenarios, there is a possibility of third wave
Conclusion: Our findings could be informative to the public health community to contain the pandemic in the case of economy reopening under a limited or no vaccine coverage. Additional epidemic waves can be avoided by appropriate screening and isolation plans.

Published: November 2021

Pada pelaksanaan pembangunan proyek seringkali terjadi masalah yang mengakibatkan proyek mengalami hambatan, sehingga menimbulkan keterlambatan waktu penyelesaian proyek dan kegagalan dalam mencapai tujuan proyek. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang analisis risiko dan langkah mitigasi yang efektif guna mengurangi dampak negatif dari keterlambatan (delay). Saat ini sudah banyak penelitian yang menganalisa risiko keterlambatan tetapi terbatas pada assessmen risiko berdasarkan probabilitas dan dampak saja dan mitigasi hanya dilakukan pada variabel penyebab tanpa memperhatikan agen keterlambatan. Sedangkan pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode House of Risk (HOR) yang terdiri dari 2 fase. Fase pertama (HOR-1) untuk menentukan faktor-faktor penyebab utama keterlambatan dan fase kedua (HOR-2) untuk memitigasi risiko secara efektif agar dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan keterlambatan dengan baik berdasarkan agen keterlambatan. Hasil analisis risiko keterlambatan menggunakan HOR diperoleh 6 kejadian keterlambatan (delay event) yang diakibatkan oleh 7 agen/penyebab keterlambatan dominan berdasarkan diagram pareto. Rekomendasi penanganan keterlambatan proyek yang efektif dapat dilakukan melalui 4 upaya mitigasi utama agar dampak keterlambatan dapat dicegah atau dikurangi.

Story education: Assessing history education in light of narrative therapy
Authors: Garske Lucas-Frederik
Published: November 2021

This paper discusses the obstructive dimension of specific declarative knowledge on historical thinking. Through considering the anthropological and social-psychological functions of stories, the author identifies potential difficulties individuals may face when trying to decipher, understand, and evaluate particular stories, as intended by historical thinking. By comparing the incapacity to cope with complex historic narratives with the effects of trauma, the paper discusses how approaches in narrative psychotherapy may add interesting insights to the domain of history education. The paper concludes that selection of declarative knowledge needs to be critically reviewed from a pathological perspective if historical thinking is set to be one of the main functions of history education.

Published: November 2021

Although neuropathy remains one of the most problematic issues faced by leprosy patients, the evolving process of its findings continues a challenge particularly in pure neural leprosy (PNL). We evaluated neurological examination, nerve conduction studies and histhopathological data of patients with PNL and ulnar neuropathy. Patients with longer duration of symptoms had reduction in the motor conduction velocities and patients with fibrosis in the biopsy had axonal damage in the nerve conduction studies. This suggests that focal demyelination may be present in leprosy patients at the moment of the diagnosis and be related to the duration of the neuropathy.

Выявлены закономерности изменения жирнокислотного состава и пластической прочности модельных образцов глазированных конфет в процессе хранения. В ряду орехового сырья миндаль-кешью-фундук-арахис скорость уменьшения пластической прочности глазури конфет с корпусами на основе фундука и арахиса с использованием глазури лауринового типа составила 71-87 г в неделю, что на 30-40 % больше скорости уменьшения пластической прочности глазури конфет с корпусами на основе миндаля и кешью 42-46 г в неделю. Использование глазури с высоким содержанием элаидиновой кислоты позволяет уменьшить скорость изменения пластической прочности глазури на 23-29 %, по сравнению с глазурью на основе жира лауринового типа. Наименьшее изменение пластической прочности поверхности глазированных конфет (2,8 % в неделю) достигнуто для корпусов из пралиновой массы на основе миндаля и глазури, изготовленной на основе жира с высоким содержанием трансизомеризованных ненасыщенных кислот. Предложенный подход можно использовать для количественной оценки и прогнозирования скорости процессов миграции жиров в процессе хранения глазированных кондитерских изделий.

Regularities of changes in fatty acid composition and plastic strength of model samples of glazed sweets during storage have been revealed. In the row of nut raw materials almonds-cashews-hazelnuts-peanuts, the ratio of the rate of decrease in the plastic strength of the glaze of candies with bodies based on hazelnuts and peanuts using lauric-type glaze was 71-87 g per week, which is 30-40% more than the rate of decrease in the plastic strength of the glaze sweets with almond and cashew-based bodies 42-46 g per week. The use of a glaze with a high content of elaidic acid can reduce the rate of change in the plastic strength of the glaze by 23-29 %, as compared to a glaze based on lauric fat. The smallest change in the plastic strength of the surface of glazed sweets (2.8 % per week) was achieved for bodies made of praline mass based on almonds and glaze made on the basis of fat with a high content of trans-isomerized unsaturated acids. The proposed approach can be used to quantify and predict the rate of fat migration processes during storage of glazed confectionery products.

Published: November 2021

As one of the least developed countries of South Asia, Bangladesh continues experiencing a surge in the number of patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), while struggling with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The number of infected patients and deaths due to COVID-19 had risen rapidly since the beginning of July 2021 and broken all the previous records. The total number of dengue cases was also the highest in July. Now, the country is facing an unprecedented challenge of tackling a co-epidemic. Impoverished health infrastructure, ineffective intervention schemes against the disease and lack of awareness has made the country vulnerable to a risk of co-epidemic. Therefore, government and local authorities should take immediate actions, including capacity-building programs for both COVID-19 and dengue, while community engagement campaigns focusing on the destruction of breeding sources of Aedes mosquitoes can play a key role in reducing the effect of dengue at an early stage.

Published: November 2021

Introdução: As mulheres indígenas de origem andina, quando vão parir, querem respeitar a dinâmica do seu corpo e dispõem-se verticalmente, de cócoras ou ajoelhadas; elas valorizam o parto vaginal. O aspecto cultural influencia seu comportamento durante a assistência ao trabalho de parto e parto, colaborando e facilitando o andamento dessa assistência. Objetivo: Avaliar a assistência ao trabalho de parto e o parto entre mulheres bolivianas e brasileiras dos grupos 1 e 3 de Robson em uma maternidade pública e, assim, inferir sobre a influência da cultura andina em relação a esses processos. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo, com grupo de comparação (bolivianas e brasileiras), que avaliou por meio de prontuários a assistência ao trabalho de parto e o parto em mulheres internadas em uma maternidade pública. O Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido foi dispensado, visto que o estudo ocorreu com base na coleta de dados de prontuários. Número do Certificado de Apresentação para Apreciação Ética (CAAE): 39923220.3.0000.0063 . Resultados e conclusão: Foram avaliados o total de 310 prontuários, dos quais 86 relativos a mulheres bolivianas (G1) e 224 a mulheres brasileiras (G2). Em relação ao tempo decorrido do último parto, observou-se média de 4,5 anos e 5,7 anos, respectivamente, para G1 e G2. A média da idade gestacional foi de 39,3 semanas e 39,1 semanas, também em relação aos grupos. No grupo das bolivianas ocorreram 76 partos vaginais; no outro, 208. A taxa de cesárea foi de 11,6% e de 7,1%, para G1 e G2, respectivamente. O tempo do trabalho de parto em horas teve média de 1,7 X 2,4 horas para cada grupo. Quanto à presença de acompanhante, ao uso de método não farmacológico para alívio da dor e à realização de episiotomia, os percentuais foram respectivamente (G1) 75, 55,2 e 26,3%. No G2, 87,9, 67,3 e 32,2%. A frequência de rotura perineal foi de 48,2% no G1 e de 65,9% no G2. A média do peso do recém-nascido no G1 foi de 3549 g e de 3228 g no G2; e o Apgar de quinto minuto maior que 7 apresentou prevalência de 98,8% em G1 e 98,2% em G2. Quanto ao contato pele a pele, este ocorreu em 79% do G1 e 84,8% do G2. Com isso, observamos que a duração do trabalho de parto foi menor no grupo das bolivianas, assim como a frequência de realização de episiotomia. No entanto, a taxa de cesárea foi maior do grupo das bolivianas. Conclui-se que é necessário avaliar um maior número de casos, visto que o tamanho amostral calculado no projeto foi de 500.

Authors: Karwan Fares Khalat , Mirkhan Ahmed Hamdia
Published: November 2021

Objective: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health issue and one of the most often observed psychological disorders among postpartum women. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of implementing respectful maternity care (RMC) and effective communication (EC) during labor and delivery on experiencing postpartum depression. Methods: One hundred twenty women were included in this trial; they were randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention and control groups. RMC and EC are provided to the intervention group, whereas the control group receives routine care. Six to eight weeks after delivery, postpartum depression was measured by the Kurdish version Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Pearson Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney U, Likelihood Ratio and Fisher's Exact Test were used in this analysis. Results: Eighty percent of women in the intervention group had an Edinburgh Depression Score of less than ten, compared to fifty percent in the control group. In addition, significantly higher mean scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in controls than in the intervention group. However, there was no significant difference in PPD results between the intervention and control groups regarding delivery mode, pregnancy type, baby's gender, neonatal admission to the intensive care unit, and breastfeeding. Conclusions: The results suggest that implementing RMC and EC throughout labor and birth considerably reduces the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Score. Thus, the study's findings have significant implications for the primary prevention of postpartum depression. Keywords: Childbirth, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Effective communication, Postpartum Depression, Respectful maternity care.

Published: November 2021

Este estudo aborda a verificação estrutural de um equipamento que pode sofrer cargas sísmicas. A avaliação adequada das cargas é extremamente importante para a segurança e eficácia estrutural e, como no Brasil quase todas as estruturas não requerem consideração da ação sísmica em seus projetos, a aplicação dessas cargas é frequentemente negligenciada, mesmo quando a estrutura é para exportação. Este estudo visa ilustrar a criticidade desta questão. Para essa avaliação, uma ferramenta cada vez mais comum entre os engenheiros é usada, o Método dos Elementos Finitos. A especificação técnica ETG1015 é usada para a preparação desta avaliação, que estabelece quais cargas devem ser aplicadas a estruturas sujeitas a terremotos para o projeto El Quimbo. As cargas aplicadas à estrutura, de acordo com ETG1015, são acelerações laterais simulando condições sísmicas. As análises estruturais são feitas pelo Método dos Elementos Finitos, utilizando o software Cosmos. Desse modo, é possível determinar tensões na estrutura e, portanto, comparar com os valores permitidos pela norma AISC e, se necessário, modificações de projeto visando o cumprimento das normas propostas.

Authors: Brondfield Sam , Banerjee Rahul , Mulvey Claire K. , Velazquez Ana I. , Kambhampati Swetha , Parks Anna L. , Griffin Ann , Cinar Pelin
Published: November 2021

INTRODUCTION

Accurate cancer staging is essential for determining prognosis and treatment. However, only 6.1% of new patient visits (NPV) at our Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) were staged at baseline using our electronic health record staging tool (EST). We used Quality Improvement (QI) methods, targeting oncology fellows, to improve fellow-seen NPV staging rates by the end of the 2018-19 academic year.

METHODS

We aimed to increase fellow monthly EST usage rate for solid tumor NPVs to 70% at our Cancer Center by June 2019. In our first Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle, we moved our EST into the visit navigator that unifies all components needed to complete an encounter. In our second PDSA cycle, we specifically engaged fellows with monthly reminder emails, periodic surveys, and individualized outreach to low performers. We tracked fellow-seen NPV staging rates, and, using statistical process control charting, CCC-wide NPV staging rates.

RESULTS

Monthly fellow-seen NPV staging rose from 47% in July 2018 to a mean of 75% during PDSA 1 and 70% during PDSA 2. CCC-wide NPV staging rose from 6.1% to 16% during PDSA 1 and 13% during PDSA 2. Staging rates decreased with the arrival of new fellows.

CONCLUSIONS

Our initiative improved timely staging rates for fellow-seen NPVs. Although fellows see only a minority of NPVs at our CCC, we found that our fellow-oriented QI initiative appeared to improve CCC-wide NPV staging rates as well (in the absence of any comparable initiatives). Future steps include the development of note templates with embedded staging tools to promote sustainability.

Introduction: There is limited information analyzing the utility of different prognostic scores in predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of PORT/PSI and SOFA scores in predicting the in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19. Material and methods: This was an observational, analytical, and retrospective study that included consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19 from April 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. The study population was characterized, and ROC analysis was performed and used to calculate the area under the curve of PORT/PSI and SOFA scores as well as the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. Results: A total of 151 patients were included, with a median age of 52 years (IQR 45-64); 69.5% were men, with a median BMI of 29.3 kg/m2 (IQR 25.5-34.7). Of the total, 102 patients died during hospitalization (67.5%). The areas under the ROC curves for predicting in-hospital mortality were 0.74 (95% CI 0.67-0.81) for the SOFA score and 0.85 (95% CI 0.78-0.90) for the PORT/PSI score. When compared, the PORT/PSI score predicted mortality significantly better than the SOFA score (p: 0.01). Conclusions: The PORT/PSI score is a good tool to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Bioactive compounds are some of the secondary plant metabolites found to have important pharmacological properties. Maranta arundinacea L. (arrowroot) belonging to the family Marantaceae forms a part of the traditional medicinal systems of Asia from time immemorial. Traditionally the plant is considered as a rich source of easily digestible starch. Nowadays the plant is well reported for its anti-diarrhoeal, anti-oxidant and anti-cholesterol properties. Modern methods of identification and quantification of active constituents in plant materials are valuable for proper standardization of herbals and their formulations. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive compounds present in the rhizome of Maranta arundinacea L. GC-MS analysis of the methanolic extract of Maranta arundinacea revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds, with a high percentage of amines and fatty acids followed by phenolics. Identification of the individual components may lead to the identification of new drugs.

Authors: Dogra Kuldeep , Uniyal Sushmita , Ambrish Kumar
Published: November 2021

Indian Western Himalaya has a rich plant diversity/ bio-resources due to the large variations in the altitude (300 to 6000 ms) and climatic conditions from tropical, temperate to alpine. The paper sheds light on the issues and challenges of climate change in the Western Himalaya; its impact on the plant diversity (wild plants, crops, fruits); loss of plant diversity and livelihood of the local communities; impact on the phenology of plant species; possible mitigation strategies to combat the impact of climate change. The Western Himalayan region has a rich diversity of plant diversity or bio resources. These bio resources (wild plants, crops, fruits) have been used by the local communities in the form of traditional medicines and foods from pre-historic periods or since the settlement of human communities in this region. These communities used these bio-resources as a source of income by their cultivation and selling in the markets. They are also involved in the traditional agriculture and horticulture practices and for that dependent on the climatic conditions (rate of precipitation, temperature, humidity) throughout the year. Hence stable environment conditions a pre requisite for better production and productivity. But in the last 100 years an increased in the temperature on earth brought large variation in the climate of Himalayan region too. The extreme climatic conditions will make Himalayan ecosystem more fragile, less productive and more prone towards disasters or natural calamities. Long term planning is required to understand the impact of climate change in the Western Himalaya along with some new strategies to mitigate its impact.

Published: November 2021

A conscious effort is certainly needed to provide pure and cleaned forms of plants based drugs for preparation of safe and efficacious herbal formulations. However, such genuine efforts are a rarity. Most often, botanical drugs traded come to users in the form of crude drugs /coarse-finely powdered materials /depilated/ dis-coloured/ mixed forms, which makes the identification of the raw materials, a challenging task with ambiguity. In order to have control on Quality Assurance in herbal industry, an integrated approach of pharmacognosy discipline plays a vital role in authentications and certification of genuine plant materials. To facilitate this process, various tools such as taxonomic evaluation to microscopic studies; gene sequencing to phyto-chemical studies are employed. In this article, an attempt has been made to develop a simple diagnostic key based on analysis of trichome characters for 14 botanical entities, which are recorded to be used as Balaa in various popular Ayurvedic formulations and traditional practices.

Published: November 2021

Morinda citrifolia Linn., also called as Indian mulberry or Noni is a widely used medicinal plant belonging to the family, Rubiaceae. It suffers from severe diseases which hinder the healing properties of the plant. Hence, there is a significant need to prevent and manage the diseases which the plants are prone to. In this paper, we are reporting the in vitro biological control of Anthracnose disease caused by the pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. in M. citrifolia. The identity of the pathogen was confirmed through microscopic observation and molecular characterization. Furthermore, an in-vitro bioassay was carried out to study the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma virens (J.H. Mill., Giddens & A.A. Foster) Arx. against C. gloeosporioides and the result showed 72.60 % inhibition of C. gloeosporioides by T. virens. Hence, T. virens can be recommended as a potential biocontrol agent against C. gloeosporioides causing Anthracnose disease of M. citrifolia.

Published: November 2021

The present study aims to evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional levels in ten bamboo species comprising industrially important as well as ornamental types grown in Kerala to judge their potential as a sustainable food source. The species evaluated include Bambusa balcooa Roxb., Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss, Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. (green and yellow), Bambusa wamin E.G.Camus (Budha bamboo), Cephalostachyum pergracile Munro, Dendrocalamus giganteus Munro, Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, Gigantochloa atroviolacea Widjaja (Black bamboo) and Gigantochloa manggong Widjaja. Key nutritional parameters like moisture, ash, carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, vitamin C and total cyanogen content (TCC) were analyzed. D.strictus and two ornamental species - B. vulgaris and G. atroviolacea -were found to be rich in protein, fiber and vitamin C which could be used as a good food source in terms of nutrition. In these species emerging shoots 14 days after emergence recorded maximum outturn (74%) and minimum wastage. The distribution of total cyanogen content (TCC) was found to vary within shoots itself. Among species studied, the highest content was found in the apex region and lowest at the basal portion of the fresh shoots. Appropriate selection of species and judicious harvest of emerging shoots at correct age can maximize outturn of edible portion in harvested shoots and help cultivators in making it a commercial venture.
Processing and Value Addition of Bamboo Shoots for Utilization as Food Products
Authors: Pandey Ashok
Published: November 2021

Bamboo shoots being low in fat, high in dietary fiber and rich in mineral contents have been consumed traditionally by the people world over. Besides nutrients it also contains some anti-nutrients e.g. cyanogens. Due to seasonal availability of bamboo shoots, processing for reducing anti-nutrients in raw shoots while keeping nutrients intact and enhancement of shelf life of the value added products assume great significance for its utilization. This paper focuses on post harvest processing and value addition of bamboo shoots for its utilization as food products. Juvenile bamboo shoots of Bambusa bambos, B. tulda, Dendrocalamus asper and D. strictus were collected and processed, by boiling in brine solution, to remove the anti-nutrients (cyanogen). A simple, efficient and cost effective processing method for bamboo shoots was developed. This method significantly reduces the amount of cyanogens and retains considerable amount of nutrients and thus may be utilized for processing of bamboo shoots. Different value added edible products viz. chunks or bari (by adding pulses), pickle, sauce and papad (by adding potato) were prepared. All products were good in taste and texture. Nutritional analysis was done to determine the shelf life of the products. The nutrient content of processed products (chunks, sauce, pickle and papad) showed a gradual decrease and need to be consumed within 6 months from the date of making. However, in case of papad the carbohydrate content did not decrease much but the taste was not acceptable after 8 months. Whereas, in case of pickles, even nutrient content decreased but the product was acceptable even after two years after preparation as it was good in taste and texture. Thus, processing and value addition practices can be considered as key to the future of sustainable management of bamboo resources because they not only provide quality edible products but also enable harvesters/collectors to get better income opportunities.
