A Protocorinthian aryballos with a myth scene from Tegea
Authors: Østby Erik
Published: November 2020

During the preparation of the new exhibition in the Museum of Tegea it was discovered that one composed fragment from a Protocorinthian aryballos with a complicated, figured representation, found during the excavations of the Norwegian Institute at Athens in the Sanctuary of Athena Alea in the 1990s, joined with another fragment found by the French excavation at the same site in the early 20th century. After the join, the interpretation of the scene must be completely changed. The aryballos has two narrative scenes in a decorative frieze: a fight between two unidentified men over a large vessel, and an unidentified myth involving the killing of a horse-like monster by two heroes, with the probable presence of Athena. Possibly this is an otherwise unknown episode from the cycle of the Argonauts, involving the Dioskouroi, perhaps also Jason and Medea. The aryballos was produced by an artist closely related to and slightly earlier than the so-called Huntsmen Painter; he was active in early Middle Protocorinthian II, and demonstrates a skill astonishing for this period in creating a many-figured and sophisticated, narrative composition.
Suomen veden ääniin liittyvien imitatiivien vakiintuneisuus erityyppisten aineistojen pohjalta
Authors: Viimaranta Johanna
Published: November 2020

Artikkeli käsittelee suomen kielen veden liikkeeseen liittyviä onomatopoeettisia interjektioita klunk, kohi, kuoh, liri, liti, lits, loiskis, loti, läti, läts, molskis, pirsk, pläts, polskis, pori, pul(i), roiskis, tip ja näille sanoille lähimerkityksisiä sanoja. Tutkimuksen keskiössä on interjektioiden merkityksen, muodon ja käytön vakiintuneisuus. Videoaineistoon perustuvalla elisitaatiotestillä (18 osallistujaa) selvitettiin, millä interjektioilla koehenkilöt kuvasivat yhdellätoista videopätkällä näytettyjä tilanteita. Elektroninen 50 kohtaa sisältänyt kyselytutkimus (124 vastaajaa) selvitti em. sanojen eroja korvaustestien, piirrekyselyn ja yksittäisiin sanoihin liittyvien tehtävien avulla. Tutkimuksen tulosten mukaisesti veden liikkeeseen liittyvien onomatopoeettisten interjektioiden merkitys toisiinsa verrattuna on puhujakohtaista, mutta joitain puhujayhteisön jakamia piirteitä ja lainalaisuuksia niiden käytössä voi kuitenkin havaita. Ei ole ennustettavissa, mitä interjektiota puhuja käyttäisi tietyssä tilanteessa. Yksittäisen sanan merkitystä vakiintuneemmaksi osoittautui liittyminen veden äänien semanttiseen kenttään. Konkreettisessa tilanteessa sanan valinta ei ole sattumanvaraista, mutta se on ennakoitavaa lähinnä sanahahmojen tasolla. Sanoihin liittyy äännesymbolisia todennäköisyyksiä, mutta ei sääntöjä. Eri puhujat ovat huomattavan erimielisiä sanojan merkityspiirteistä ja käyttömahdollisuuksista. Tulosten suuri variaatio osoittaa, miten epäluotettavaa voi olla tukeutua yhden tai muutaman kielenpuhujan tai kielentutkijankaan intuitioon. Tutkimuksessa perustellaan uudenlaisten, mutta ilman erityislaitteistoja toteutettavissa olevien aineistonkeruumenetelmien hyödyllisyys sellaisten sanojen tutkimuksessa, joita ei kuvata systemaattisesti sanakirjoissa ja jotka eivät riittävissä määrin esiinny kielitieteellisissä yleiskorpuksissa.
Varhaisimmat suomenkieliset kreikan ja latinan kieliopit suomalaisen sivistyksen asialla
Authors: Seppänen Minna , Vaahtera Jaana
Published: November 2020

Tämän tutkimuksen kohteena on kolme klassisia kieliä käsittelevää kielioppiteosta, joiden ensimmäiset painokset ovat ilmestyneet vuosina 1858–1881. Johan Gabriel Geitlinin kahdessa osassa ilmestynyt latinan kielioppi (Latinalainen kielioppi umpisuomalaisen nuorison hyödyksi 1858 ja Lause-oppi 1860), Gustaf Cannelinin Kreikan kieli-oppi, alotteleville (1863) ja Carl Johan Lindeqvistin Kreikan kielioppi (1881). Aikaisemman tutkimuksen sivuutettua klassisten kielten suomenkieliset kieliopit tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa erityisesti kielioppien esipuheita, joissa kielioppien laatijat saavat tilaisuuden koettaa ohjata yleisöä lukemaan teosta oikein sekä esittää tulevaa kritiikkiä ennakoivaa apologiaa. Tutkimusaineistomme sisältääkin lisäksi näitä kielioppeja koskevia arvioita sekä vastineita näihin arvioihin; näitä ilmestyi verrattain runsaasti eri sanoma- ja aikakauslehdissä. Kritiikit hahmottuvat kirjoittajien tilaisuuksina esittää korjauksia sekä pedagogisia ja kieliteoreettisia näkemyksiä. Sekä kielioppien laatijat että niiden arvioijat olivat tyypillisesti alansa korkeita asiantuntijoita, oppikoulujen ja yliopiston opettajia. Kielioppien kirjoittaminen oli osa kieli-, kansallisuus- ja koulutuskeskustelua: ensimmäinen latinan kielioppi ilmestyi samoihin aikoihin kuin Jyväskylän suomenkielinen yläalkeiskoulu aloitti toimintansa. Varhaisimmat tarkastele­mistamme kieliopeista näyttäytyvätkin isänmaallisina tekoina; on nähtävissä, että 1880-luvulla kahtena painoksena ilmestynyttä Lindeqvistin kreikan kielioppia arvioitiin jo hieman eri kriteerein kuin sitä edeltäviä. Kielioppien kautta ovat omalta osaltaan tarkasteltavissa myös pedagogiset ja kielitieteelliset ajatukset; pedagogiikkaan kiinnitetään keskusteluissa runsaastikin huomiota.

Authors: Briandana Rizki , Pribadi Edi , Balaya Sarata
Published: November 2020

This research will analyze the media convergence with the rapid development of the existing equipment in the broadcasting system of the television station in Indonesia. The digitalisation and advancement of communication and information technology have a tremendous impact on the emergence of a new paradigm and therefore, will also change the overall perspective of humans about various problems that occur around them. With the emergence of digital channels, the analogue media cannot support the existing system independently and require the integration of technologies in the discovery of new platforms. To analyze the paradigm shift of the television stations in Indonesia, this research uses the case study research method through interviews and observation data collection techniques. The research results show that technological and information changes in the broadcasting system in some technical parts of television media, i.e. the library system, post-production and broadcasting systems in the control room of the research. In responding to media convergence, the diversity of technologies involved in the processes of convergence, it makes the work more practical and efficient. Efficiency is very visible in the decent decrease of the production finance (cost) where works become competent with the integration of related units in the processes of convergence.

Published: November 2020

This research focuses on promotional strategies conducted by Padang TV in an effort to introduce and maintain the Duduak Baselo program as a cultural content program. From the minimal existence of cultural content in the majority of Indonesian television, Padang TV is one of the local stations that present cultural content, one of which is the Duduak Baselo program. This program can survive, of course, because there are promotional and marketing efforts undertaken by the television station. Promotional mix analysis that becomes the focus of this research is on how the station approach to sponsors. This research uses descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. In-depth interviews, observations, and documentation are used in collecting data. The data obtained were then processed with Miles and Huberman's technical analysis and validated with triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the Duduak Baselo program carries out several communication activities as their promotional strategies in introducing and maintaining the Duduak Baselo program. Padang TV, as the station that produces Duduak Baselo, in such a way builds cooperative relationships with various parties, such as the government and the private sectors. This collaborative relationship is developed to get sponsors/advertisers. Activities undertaken to establish cooperation include building relationships, spreading proposals, lobbying, and negotiating.

Published: November 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic condition requires private radio managers’ creativity, one of which is the Sritanjung FM in the Banyuwangi Regency. Uniquely, as a cultural radio, Sritanjung FM advertising revenue increased precisely during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a virtual ethnographic method that collects data offline and online. Researchers conducted direct observations of Sritanjung FM in Rogojampi District, Banyuwangi Regency, and conducted a virtual search through audio streaming, Facebook, and WhatsApp. In this study, informants amounted to four people, two from radio staff, one cultural expert, and one loyal listener. The results showed that the number of local advertisers and the frequency of local advertisements had increased three times. The internal causes include the creativity of Sritanjung FM in creating cultural programs and religious programs, creativity in the designing messages for ads spots, and uniqueness of using local language that match the COVID-19 theme. Local culture advertising creativity can be felt as the main taste of content that has relevance to postmodernism studies. External causes include the need for a business breakthrough to maintain income, the socio-cultural context of Osing ethnicity for the Banyuwangi people. Combined interest between local advertisers, strong Osing culture identity, and advertisers' creativity make Sritanjung FM experience a surge in revenue from local advertisers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

STEP is a general data format that observes the international standard ISO 10303-21. STEP means Standard for the Exchange of Product model data. It consists of the 3D geometry of a computer-aided design (CAD) model in the configuration of boundary representation (B-rep). By extracting, refining and decoding the geometric data correctly, the data can be utilized for writing G-code for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining application. Usually G-codes can either be manually generated by skilled machinists or automatically generated by computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. However, manually generated G-code is inefficient and susceptible to error. Meanwhile automated generation G-code requires significant setup cost. This paper describes the design and development of an integrated interface system, an instrument aimed to be used to analyze STEP files and generate machining tool path based on ISO 6983 format. This developed interface reduces the need for high setup cost as well as eliminates human limitations. The interface at present is able of detecting circular machining features on the workpiece. Circular machining features are created by 3D modelling software and retained as STEP file. The STEP file which contains geometrical data is then uploaded to the interface system as an input file which is structurally analyzed and processed. Finally, the ideal machining tool path in the G Code format is proposed and generated. By bypassing the CAM software and its proprietary post processor, the outcome of this research is important to enhance compatibility between different CNC machine systems

This work describes the preliminary design and development of a mobile robot called CREC (Camera-Based Mobile Robot for Elderly Care). The robot uses a low-cost HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to avoid obstacle, and a Pixy CMUcam5 camera as the vision-based sensor to track the target. This camera uses colour marker tag to follow and monitor the target. CREC uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller to fuse data conveyed by the ultrasonic sensor and camera so that the robot can follow the target and avoid obstacles simultaneously. In this work, the hardware design of CREC is described. Furthermore, preliminary experiments to characterize the ultrasonic sensor and Pixy camera are demonstrated to verify the usefulness of the selected sensors for the mobile robot.

Published: November 2020

Objective: To compare the postoperative bleeding between the skeletonized grafts and pedicled internal thoracic artery (ITA) in coronary artery bypass.

Material and Method: 132 elective patients submitted to the surgery of myocardial revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and the sample was equally distributed in groups according to the dissection performed on the ITA: G1, skeletonized and G2, pedicled. In both methods, the dissection was finished before the heparinization and the installation of extracorporeal circulation. The following clinical parameters were evaluated: extracorporeal circulation time, aortic clamping, drainage debit and administration of hemocomponents (erythrocytes and platelets).

 

Results: The average number of platelets concentrations and the drainage debit on the postoperative period were statistically higher for the pedicled dissection of the ITA compared to the skeletonized one. No statistically significant differences were observed regarding the use of one or two mammary arteries, as well as for the time of extracorporeal circulation and anoxia in the studied groups.

Conclusion: The skeletonized preparation of the internal thoracic artery significantly reduced the blood loss after an elective surgery of myocardial revascularization.

Assessing the quantitative impact of ecosystem shifts on human societies
Authors: Amano Tatsuya , Richards Catherine E. , Sutherland William J , hÉigeartaigh Seán Ó
Published: November 2020

A wide range of ecosystems have been reported to show abrupt and drastic shifts in their states. Such shifts in ecosystem states, typically known as regime shifts, are hardly predictable and not readily reversible once they have taken place, and can have considerable impacts on human societies that are dependent on those ecosystems. Nevertheless, earlier studies have rarely quantified the consequences of ecosystem shifts for human societies, instead focusing largely on identifying the occurrence of shifts, understanding drivers and mechanisms, and developing early warning signals for forecasting. We address this knowledge gap by searching for scientific evidence on the quantitative impacts of ecosystem shifts on human societies. Based on a set of pre-defined search criteria we identified a total of 92 papers that discussed particular ecosystem shifts and associated impacts. The number of papers reporting ecosystem shifts and associated impacts has considerably increased over the past 20 years, indicating a recent rise in the interest in the issue among scientific communities. The 92 papers reported state shifts in a wide range of ecosystems, with marine ecosystem shifts reported most frequently (in 22 papers), followed by shifts in wetland (18 papers) and forest (10 papers) ecosystems. Climate change was by far the most frequently reported driver of ecosystem shifts (reported in 32 papers), followed by land use change (12 papers) and nutrient inputs (nine papers). Only 17 (18%) out of the 92 papers described the quantitative consequences of ecosystem shifts for human societies. Estimated economic consequences ranged from 5 million US dollars per year relating to eutrophication of Swedish coastal waters, to costs of 200 billion US dollars linked to macro-algal green tides along the Qingdao coast. We found that our knowledge of quantitative impacts of ecosystem shifts on human societies is still severely limited, especially in terms of risks to human health and survival and, at a broad spatial scale, where multiple ecosystem shifts could interact to exacerbate the extent or severity of their impacts.
Repression of interleukin-8 in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Cytokines are soluble factors that are critical mediators of signaling in the immune system (1). Immune control of tumor growth, is a critical component of intrinsic anti-tumor defense (2). The cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) functions in activation and recruitment of neutrophils, innate immune cells with respiratory burst properties that also function as antigen-presenting cells (3, 4). We found, using public and published microarray data (5, 6), that the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) express markedly lower quantities of IL-8 than those not treated with trastuzumab. These data allude to potential failures of innate and adaptive immune functions of the neutrophil in patients treated with trastuzumab.

“The Initiated”: Aaron Director and the Chicago Monetary Tradition
Authors: Tavlas George S.
Published: November 2020

Aaron Director taught at the University of Chicago from 1930 to 1934 and from 1946 to 1967. Both periods corresponded to crucial stages in the development of Chicago monetary economics under the leaderships of Henry Simons and Milton Friedman, respectively. Any impact that Director may have played in the development of those stages and to the relationship between the views of Simons and Friedman has been frustrated by Director’s lack of publications. I provide evidence, much of it for the first time, showing the important role played by Director in the development of Chicago monetary economics, including his role as a transmitor of Simons’s ideas to Friedman.

Flexibility in Using Self-Regulatory Strategies to Manage Self-Control Conflicts: The Role of Metacognitive Knowledge, Strategy Repertoire, and Feedback Monitoring
Authors: Bürgler Sebastian , Hoyle Rick H. , Hennecke Marie
Published: November 2020

For regulating emotion, it has been shown that people benefit from being flexible in their use of emotion regulation strategies. In the current study, we built on research focused on regulatory flexibility with respect to emotions to investigate flexibility in the use of self-regulatory strategies to resolve daily self-control conflicts. We investigated three components of flexibility: (1) metacognitive knowledge, (2) strategy repertoire, and (3) feedback monitoring. In a 10-day experience sampling study, 226 participants reported whether they had, within the past hour, experienced a self-control conflict of initiating an aversive activity, persisting in it, or inhibiting an unwanted impulse in response to a temptation. Results support the hypothesis that higher levels of all three components of flexibility are associated with higher levels of success in managing daily self-control conflicts, except for strategy repertoire and feedback monitoring in conflicts of persistence. Results also support the hypothesis that higher levels of trait self-control are associated with higher levels of metacognitive knowledge and feedback monitoring for conflicts of initiation, but not for conflicts of persistence and inhibition. We found no evidence of an association between trait self-control and strategy repertoire. These findings demonstrate the importance of flexible strategy use during daily self-control conflicts.
A model of perception of ambient learning environment, perception of online learning environment and learning environment satisfaction: A survey instrument
Authors: Zhu Wangda , Hua Ying
Published: November 2020

This research paper introduced a survey instrument for evaluating learning environment satisfaction from home ambient environment experience and online learning environment experience. The survey questions examined a range of ambient environment factors together with scales extracted from online learning environment survey (OLLES) (Clayton, 2007) to systematically measure learning environment perception. The questionnaire was then tested in a field study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a six-factor model of students’ satisfaction with learning environment including ambient environment, student-student interaction, student-interface relationships, student-tutor relationships, student-content relationships, and student reflection activities. Structural equation modeling explained relationship among perception of ambient learning environment, perception of online learning environment and learning environment satisfaction. The development and field test of this survey tool enable evaluations of online learning environment within consideration of ambient environment, as well as support learning environment design and management.
Analysing Dynamic Change in Children’s Socio-Emotional Development using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire in a large UK Longitudinal Study
Authors: Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Ushakova Anastasia , Hall Hildigunnur Anna , Luciano Michelle , Auyeung Bonnie , Murray Aja Louise
Published: November 2020

Background: Most mental health difficulties have their onset during childhood and adolescence. Many children who suffer from one mental health issue also suffer from at least one co-occurring disorder. Autoregressive latent trajectory models with structured residuals (ALT-SR) and multilevel graphical vector autoregression (GVAR) are recent complementary approaches that can help provide new insights into the reciprocal relationships between multiple mental health domains and advance the understanding of the development of comorbidities.Methods: This study uses ALT-SR and multilevel GVAR models to analyse the temporal, contemporaneous and between-person relationships between emotional problems, peer problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention and prosociality as measured by the parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in 17,478 children taking part in the UK Millennium Cohort Study at ages 3, 5, 7, 11, 14 and 17 years. Results: Results from both the ALT-SR and the multilevel GVAR model highlight that children’s strengths and difficulties in different domains of psychosocial functioning are dynamically associated with each other over- and within-time. The ALT-SR highlighted that hyperactivity/inattention plays a central role in affecting other domains over developmental time while the GVAR model highlighted comparably strong bidirectional relationships between conduct problems and prosociality as well as between emotional problems and peer problems. Conclusion: This study highlights that mental health difficulties influence one another dynamically over time. As illustrated in the domains of the SDQ, these dynamic changes can be modelled using the complementary techniques of ALT-SR or GVAR models, each offering different insights into the nature of comorbidity.
Voting Behavior of Physicians and Healthcare Professionals
Authors: Solnick Rachel Emily , Choi Hwajung , Kocher Keith E
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Physicians and other healthcare professionals have critical expertise and important experiences to help shape public policy, yet, historically, have been less likely to engage in the political process as measured by their propensity to vote. We examine whether previous trends in low physician voter turnout persist, contrasting to similar occupational groups and the general population. Methods: Data were from the 2004-2018 Current Population Survey (CPS) November Voter Supplement, a biennial nationally representative household survey that collects self-reported or reports by proxy (household member) voting rates and behavior from congressional and presidential elections. We identified five representative healthcare professionals (physicians, dentists, pharmacists, registered nurses, physician assistants) and five other comparison professions (postsecondary teachers, chief executives, civil engineers, social workers, lawyers) selected by similarities in income or educational backgrounds. Adjusted risk ratios (aRR) were estimated from multivariable logistic regressions comparing voting rates and behavior across occupations controlling for the year and sociodemographic characteristics associated with voting. Results: The pooled sample of US citizens age 18 and older (N=750,236) included 3,009 physicians, mean age 47.6 (SD, 14.9) years, 33.5% women. Household-level response rates ranged from 84%-92%. Physicians and other healthcare providers were significantly less likely to vote than comparison professions or the public after controlling for characteristics associated with voting. Compared to the public, adjusted physician voting rates were 12% lower than expected: aRR of 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83- 0.92) whereas comparison professions all demonstrated significantly higher voting rates, with postsecondary teachers showing the highest rates, aRR 1.18 (1.14-1.21). Physicians were 30% more likely to vote by mail, aRR 1.32 (1.12-1.42), and 15% more likely to vote before election day, aRR 1.15 (1.06- 1.25). Physicians who did not vote or register were 70% more likely to report this was due to being “Too busy, conflicting work or school,” compared to the public, aRR 1.7 (1.36 -1.96). Conclusion: Over 2004-2018, adjusted analysis find physicians and other healthcare professionals were significantly less likely to vote, whereas comparative professions were more likely to vote than the general public. Physicians were more likely to vote using alternatives to poll-based voting (voting early, vote by mail) and more likely to miss voting and registration due to work conflicts.

According to Gill (2017), the present era of electronic revolution is one in which social media has become a means to an end in political sphere communication. Today, political marketing and advertising for persons seeking elective posts analyze, develop, execute and manage campaigns as a way of driving public opinion (Laing & Khattab, 2016). Social media provides a platform on which one can engage with the so-called connected generation. If the November 2016 elections are anything to go by, Twitter proved to be the medium of choice for citizens to engage and consume political content (Le et al., 2017). Ideally, tweets formed the basis of facilitating user engagement through the provision of content and newsbreaks. By extension, the mentioned discussions would influence the political discourse while establishing the capacity to determine the events of mainstream media. This study seeks to establish social media usage by President Donald Trump before and after his election. An understanding of such trend is essential in inferring as to whether Social media, in this case Twitter, plays a role in the current political spheres by promoting influence of a given aspirant. This stems from various studies that have stated that there is an association between social media use and an aspirant’s influence of the connected generation who are especially the youths. For instance, a thesis by Hwang (2016) observed that President Trump’s Twitter usage contributes to his political poll success which he associates with a reflection of his personality in the media use. This was also observed by Lilleker, Jackson, Thorsen and Veneti (2016) who stated that President Trump’s media use contributed to his election. It would hence be essential to understand President Trump’s nature of usage of Twitter. Allcott and Gentzkow (2017) conducted a study in which they observed use of fake news to influence people into certain political alignments. Twitter was also observed as one of the channels through which fake news was distributed. This study might help to create a foundation under which more studies can be done to determine the association of social media with other issues facing the society such as fake news and environment issues and their role on presidential elections. It would also be worth noting that there has been high politicization of President Trump’s use of Twitter especially during his Campaigns. This study would hence help to infer whether there is a change in this factor after his election.

Background: The intensity of aggression present in any person determines his/her threat to conduct violent and impulsive act against members of the society or else family, friends or foes, which necessitates a crucial analytical instrument for identification of such behaviour in smaller groups of societies.

Objectives: To assess a group of medical students from Kathmandu, Nepal for potential risk they bear to conduct violence in future medical practice.

Methodology: A self-administered pre-validated Bush and Perry Aggression Questionnaire was used in this descriptive cross-sectional study to analyse emotional and cognitive component among 235 medical students of Nepal between February and May 2019. A Likert-type bipolar scale was used for response format ranging from one (extremely uncharacteristic) to five (extremely characteristic). Questionnaire explored four factors: physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility. Mean scores of aggression were computed and compared with gender and level of education by conducting independent t-test with level of significance at 0.05.

Results: The mean scores were 20.73± 6.33, 13.97± 3.87, 18.79± 5.20 and 20.17±6.68, for physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility respectively. Males had higher score of physical aggression statistically significant at p<0.05. The mean Bush and Aggression Perry Questionnaire score was calculated to be 71.66± 15.71, but insignificant (p>0.05) when compared between sexes, and level of education (second semester and seventh semester students).

Conclusion: Male medical students were more prone to hostility and physical aggression than female students who were more liable (statistically insignificant) to verbal aggression and anger.

Authors: Tamrakar Suman Raj , Shrestha Rubina
Published: November 2020

Background: Ultrasound has revolutionized the pattern of care and management. Mid trimester ultrasound (transabdominal) is a valuable method for pregnant clients to predict preterm births.

Objectives: To assess cervical length at 20 to 24 weeks obstetric scan for predicting risk of preterm delivery and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of assessing cervical length as a predictor of preterm delivery.

Methodology: This is a prospective study conducted at a Tertiary Hospital. Pregnant clients with singleton pregnancy at 20 to 24 weeks were enrolled for transabdominal ultrasound for assessing cervical length as a predictor of preterm delivery.

Results: Of 1027 pregnant clients screened, the mean age was 22.92±3.45. Mean gestational age during scan was 21+5 weeks of gestation. About 2.43% of clients were found to have short cervix < 2.5 cm with mean cervical length 3.8 cm. The risk of preterm delivery was almost two fold when cervical length was < 2.5 cm. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value to predict preterm delivery were 32%, 85.9%, 5.44% and 98.04% respectively.

Conclusion: Assessment of the cervical length at mid-trimester can be useful tool for predicting risk of preterm delivery.
World of Echo
Authors: Akiyama Mitchell
Published: November 2020

Bodies constantly emit and receive sensorial stimulation. Having this feedback loop of sensation interrupted can feel profoundly disorienting, even smothering and threatening, as the author discovered when he first visited an anechoic chamber—a soundproof room in which acoustic reflections are virtually absent. This essay is a meditation on the role that sound, vibration, and sensation play in allowing us to feel at home in the world. To work through this proposition, Akiyama stages an imaginary performance event in the anechoic chamber at IRCAM (an institute for the study of sonic art and technology in Paris). This fictitious event brings together a group of expert listeners, including Alvin Lucier, one of the leading figures in conceptual sound art; Maryanne Amacher, a pioneering sound artist, composer, and psychoacoustics researcher; Daniel Kish, the found of World Access for the Blind and a noted expert in human echolocation; and Arthur Russell, a composer and producer who was at the vanguard of the New York downtown music scene in the 1980s, until his tragic, early death from AIDS. Each figure, different in their expertise and capacities, brings one closer to the realization that one’s ability to feel at home in the world is inextricably linked to our sensorial entanglement with our surroundings.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Pre-hypertension, a classification of blood pressure ranging from 120–139 mm Hg systolic and/ or 80–89 mm Hg diastolic, has been introduced to identify those high-risk group of developing hypertension to implement early intervention to halt disease progression. This study determines the prevalence of pre-hypertension and its determinants among undergraduate preclinical medical students in Malaysia. Materials & Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 158 registered second year medical students at one research university in central Malaysia from January to April 2018. Results: The prevalence of pre-hypertension was 20.6% among undergraduate preclinical medical students. The most respondent was female (69.9%), Malay ethnic (50.6%) who had normal body mass index (67.3%), no depression (79.5%), no anxiety (60.3%), no stress (68.6%), low physical activity level (44.9%), never smoked (95.5%), and never consumed alcohol (87.8%). Some respondents had positive family history of hypertension (43.6%) and diabetis mellitus (31.4%). After adjusted for all variables, gender (AOR=14.45, 95% CI 5.58-37.43) and depression status (AOR=6.37, 95% CI 1.29-31.49) were significantly associated with pre-hypertension. Conclusion: The prevalence of pre-hypertension among preclinical medical students was lower compared to other country, predicted by gender and depression status. However, further comprehensive multicentered studies in Malaysia with larger sample size is recommended to get more precise results in identifying determinants for pre-hypertension so that early intervention could be implemented nationwide.

Introduction: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Piper sarmentosum (PS) has been widely used in traditional medicine with proven antihypertensive and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the antihypertensive potential of PS aqueous extract (PSAE) and to investigate the factors modulating nitric oxide (NO) production through its anti-oxidant activities. Methods: PS leaves were extracted with distilled water, freeze-dried and examined to quantify their antioxidant activities through 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing ability plasma test. The antihypertensive effect of PSAE in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) was evaluated using four different groups (n=6); C (negative control), K (PSAE 500mg/kg), P (3 mg/kg perindopril) and M (PSAE 500 mg/kg + 1.5 mg/kg perindopril). PSAE and other treatments were given via oral gavage for 28 days. The blood pressure (BP) was determined using the non-invasive BP monitoring tail cuff technique and recorded weekly. SHR’s blood was collected to determine the serum NO level using Griess assay. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and arginine levels were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. Results: The extract showed good in-vitro antioxidant activities and a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic BP compared to control group. They were also a decrease in plasma ADMA and an increase in serum NO level. Meanwhile, arginine level does not change significantly. Conclusion: High in-vitro antioxidant activities in PSAE enhances the clearance of ADMA that leads to an increase in serum NO production hence ameliorating the blood pressure of SHR.
