Authors: Pangkahila Evert S. , S. Mulyana Ryan , Sanjaya Hariyasa , K Mulyantari , Susanto Daniel H.
Published: July 2023

Ensuring an accurate diagnosis is critical for limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and for the clinical management of COVID-19, especially in pregnant women. For now real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the currently recommended laboratory method for the diagnosis of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. More recently, several easy-to-perform rapid antigen detection tests have been developed and are recommended as first-line screening test in several countries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comparative performance of a rapid antibody test and RT-PCR for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as a front-line test for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in pregnancy. This research method is a descriptive study to describe comparation of sensitivity and specificity between rapid SARS-CoV-2 antibody test to the gold standard nasopharyngeal RT-PCR swab test. Of the 271 samples, only 257 were eligible and fourteen cases were excluded from the study due to a lack of rapid antibody test and RT-PCR results. The results of this study showed that the rapid SARS-CoV-2 antibody test sensitivity was 80.95%, and the specificity was 90.68%, the NPV (negative predictive value) and the PPV (positive prognosis value) were 98.17% and 43.59%, respectively. Based only on the results of IgM and IgG, IgM and IgG sensitivity were 33.33% (7/21) and 71.43% (15/21), respectively, and the specificity was 91.1% (215/236, 21 false positive) and 91.53% (216/236, 20 false positive), respectively. The use of rapid antibody tests during pregnancy is a screening tool and is not currently applicable for diagnostic tool. To minimize false positives and negatives results, the use of rapid antibody tests should be combined with the RT-PCR test results.

Authors: Suhasfan Paranai , Adhi Setiawan Eko
Published: July 2023

Tunda Island is one of the islands in a group of 17 islands in the north of Java, Banten Province. Electrical energy in Tunda Island is supplied by 2 Private Diesel Genset, each of which has an installed capacity of 100 kVA and 75 kVA, with an operating time of 4-5 hours per day starting from 18.00 to 22.00. The microgrid electrical system has several advantages, in terms of efficiency, microgrid can reduce the use of fossil fuels in power plants, besides that it can reduce losses caused by the distribution system because the location of the microgrid generator is relatively close to the load. In terms of reliability, the microgrid electrical system can optimally manage energy sources for 7 days and 24 hours. In addition, the microgrid electrical system has the ability to work without being connected to the grid. With the use of a microgrid electricity system, the electricity costs that must be paid are less and most importantly can reduce carbon emissions, because the plants used in the microgrid electricity system generally use renewable energy. In this study, scenarios were made to determine the most optimum LCoE value using an optimization approach with the help of homer pro software. The operating pattern for the Tunda Island electricity system is obtained, namely, the load is carried during the day by Solar PV Power Plant and at night using a generator that has been controlled using the force on & force off mode. From the simulation obtained the lowest LCoE in the Solar PV Power Plant Hybrid configuration with capacity of 240 KWp, 302.4 KWh battery & 200 KW inverter. The ability to pay for electricity for the residents of Tunda Island is still possible if subsidized tariffs are imposed, the range of ability to pay for the residents of Tunda Island is IDR/KWh 726.45-1452.91 and their ability will decrease if they are subject to non-subsidized PLN tariffs. With PLN as the PSO, the differrence in tariffs with the local Generation Production Cost will receive a subsidy from the government. Furthermore, the sustainability of this microgrid system will have the benefit of a continuous supply of electricity. So, it can be felt by the people of Tunda Island which is managed by State-Owned Enterprise (PT. PLN Persero).

Los avances del Sistema Integral de Justicia Penal para Adolescentes en México
Authors: Patiño Pérez Maricela
Published: July 2023

El desconocimiento de los avances en el Sistema Integral de Justicia Penal para Adolescentes (SIJPA), en nuestro país, en el 2021, por parte de la sociedad, abogados, académicos, estudiantes, operadores jurídicos, generan la falta de comprensión de su objetivo y una serie de críticas infundadas por la sociedad a las medidas de tratamiento y, en específico, a las medidas privativas de libertad. Sin embargo, al tratarse de adolescentes en conflicto con la ley penal, estas medidas son distintas que las de un sistema procesal penal en adultos. Lo comentado se ocasiona por no conocer los avances que presente el Sistema Integral de Justicia Penal para Adolescentes en el 2021 en México, como resultado del derecho a la protección de derechos fundamentales del marco jurídico nacional e internacional de la materia, en dónde se privilegia la protección de los adolescentes en conflicto con la ley, como consecuencia de que las niñas, niños y adolescentes se diferencian de los adultos pues se encuentran en un estado de desarrollo diferente por lo que requieren de una buena protección, tanto en su desarrollo físico y psicológico como por sus necesidades emocionales y educativas, que constituyen la base del tratamiento diferenciado de los adolescentes que tienen conflictos con el sistema de justicia penal.

Published: July 2023

Los reyes de armas son los protagonistas de un oficio palatino de más de VII siglos de existencia, además de continuadores de los Heraldos aparecidos en el siglo XII en la Europa Occidental. A su vez, en España no sólo destacan por su vinculación a los certificados de nobleza y supervisión de las armas nobiliarias, sino que, además, por realizar funciones relacionadas con el ceremonial de la Casa Real, tanto como asistentes en los actos, como en la organización de estos. Asimismo, es reconocida su vinculación a la publicación de las leyes de carácter real al ser considerados la «Voz del rey» sin este requisito la ley no se considera aplicable. De esta manera, se convierten en los antecesores de los actuales jefes de protocolo. Esta es una breve comunicación sobre su historia.

Las sanciones premiales positivas y el cumplimiento efectivo de las normas protocolarias
Authors: García-Mercadal y García-Loygorri Fernando
Published: July 2023

La relación entre las nociones Derecho y sanción ha dado lugar a no pocas controversias doctrinales. Algunos autores distinguen una forma punitiva o represora que se activa cuando se incumple una norma jurídica (sanciones negativas) y otra premial o gratificadora (sanciones positivas) vinculada a méritos y conductas virtuosas o bienhechoras para la sociedad, como serían los títulos de nobleza, las condecoraciones y otros reconocimientos de carácter honorífico. La sanción negativa tiene como finalidad la reparación del daño, la sanción positiva estimular a los ciudadanos para que aumenten los comportamientos socialmente valiosos. El carácter coactivo o no coactivo sería la principal diferencia entre unas y otras. Lo jurídico no se circunscribe a las disposiciones escritas y se extiende a los usos sociales en materia de ceremonial y protocolo.

Authors: GOMEZ REQUEJO MARIA
Published: July 2023

El arte, y en concreto la pintura, puede representar escenas de protocolo y ceremonial, su validez, para el estudioso de esas disciplinas, dependerá de si lo representado es contemporáneo a su autor o un pasado histórico legendario. Si el autor fue testigo de esas ceremonias o las o conoció de primera mano, las escenas se convierten en una herramienta muy valiosa para el estudio de la historia del protocolo, que pasa así de la letra impresa a la representación gráfica.

El trabajo que se presenta pretende hacer una revisión del protocolo y ceremonial presentes en tres obras de corte del pintor Luis Paret y Alcázar (1746-1799): “Las parejas reales”; “Carlos III comiendo ante su corte” y “La jura de don Fernando como príncipe de Asturias”.  A través de la interpretación del ceremonial reflejado en los cuadros y la revisión de la documentación de la época en la que se describen esos actos ceremoniales, se intentará averiguar la fidelidad que guardan con la realidad y, por tanto, su validez como fuente para el estudioso del protocolo.

Efficacy of Turmeric for Treatment of Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Experimental Animal Model Studies
Authors: Sheahan Stacey
Published: July 2023

The objective of this systematic review was to determine the efficacy of using turmeric (Curcuma longa) in veterinary patients for control of osteoarthritis (OA). The literature search was conducted using three electronic databases and a university library. Keywords searched included “turmeric”, “curcumin” and “osteoarthritis”. There were 24 experimental model studies in laboratory species that used turmeric as a treatment for OA and met inclusion criteria. These studies compared a turmeric/curcumin treated group to placebo (or no treatment) control group. The meta-analysis based on the reported statistical significance (p-values) concluded an overall p-value of 3.0×10-28, which demonstrated turmeric/curcumin was highly effective in improving OA in these studies for the parameters measured. Meta-analysis using random-effects model on the four most reported outcome measurements (TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-kβ, MMG) also concluded effectiveness of turmeric/curcumin in improving OA conditions (all p-values < 0.001). The positive results in animal model studies from this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that turmeric/curcumin may be of benefit for companion animals with OA, and supports further investigation of its use as part of food therapy and/or herbal formulations with randomized controlled clinical studies.
Effectiveness of Integrated Medical Treatment for Thunderstorm Aversion: A Case Series of 23 Dogs
Authors: McDowell Cynthia , Shiau Deng-Shan
Published: July 2023

Canine thunderstorm aversion (CTA) is a significant challenge to pets, owners, and veterinarians. The objective of this research was to determine if traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) treatment with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, basic desensitization and counterconditioning (DSCC) with a behavior modification drug, could lessen the severity of CTA in dogs. A total of 23 dogs that exhibited behaviors typical of thunderstorm aversion were enrolled in the study. At study start, all dogs received a TCVM Pattern diagnosis and were treated with Pattern-specific Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture points. In addition, owners received DSCC behavior modification protocols and a conventional drug (alprazolam) to be used as needed during thunderstorms. Dogs were examined once a month for 4 months and Chinese herbal medicine formulations and acupuncture treatment adjusted as TCVM Patterns changed. After 120 days of treatment, the mean±SD improvement in overall thunderstorm aversion behaviors in study participants was 77.2%±27.7% (p < 0.0001). This result was significantly greater than 52% (p = 0.002), a reported mean improvement percentage for conventional treatment only, after 4 months. Six of the 7 individual aversion behaviors (panting, pacing, trembling, hiding, excess salivation, excess vocalization) had a significant reduction (range: p =0.046 to p = 0.008) over the course of treatment. The study results demonstrated that integrative management of CTA with TCVM Pattern-specific treatments combined with a conventional rescue drug and behavior modification improves CTA behaviors and suggests greater efficacy than conventional medical management only. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate these preliminary findings.
Comparison between Aqua-acupuncture and Trazodone on Mitigation of Fear, Anxiety and Stress in Healthy Dogs during Routine Veterinary Examination
Authors: Kintz Konegger Alexandra
Published: July 2023

Fear, anxiety and stress (FAS) are significant factors in human-animal interactions in veterinary hospital settings. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of aqua-acupuncture (Aqua-AP) compared with trazodone on the mitigation of FAS indicators in healthy, stressed dogs during routine veterinary examination and procedures. Fifty-five dogs exhibiting signs of FAS or history of significant FAS in veterinary hospital settings completed the study. Except for those premedicated with trazodone (Group 4), dogs were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups. Groups 1 (An-shen) and 2 (GB-21) were treated with Aqua-AP bilaterally, while Group 3 served as untreated controls. Stress data, including heart rate, panting respiratory rate, behavior and saliva cortisol concentration were taken at T0 (baseline) and T30 (30 minutes post-treatment). Comparison of group outcome data found that Aqua-AP groups had significant decreases for heart rate (p = 0.004 and p = 0.0005, respectively) and behavior score (p = 0.0002 and p = 0.008, respectively) from T0 to T30, and posttreatment values were not higher than the pharmaceutical-treated subjects (noninferiority). In addition, Group 1 had significant reduction (p = 0.04) in incidence of panting respiratory rate. No significant stress parameter changes were observed in controls. The cortisol concentration change was not significant in any group, but the post-treatment cortisol concentration in both Aqua-AP groups was not greater than the trazodone group (p = 0.004 and p = 0.018, respectively). These results suggest that Aqua-AP at An-shen or GB-21 is effective in mitigating FAS in healthy dogs during routine veterinary examination and demonstrates noninferiority to premedication with trazadone.
The Jing Luo Network: An Overview of Channels and Collaterals and Their Clinical Applications
Authors: Chrisman Cheryl , Xie Huisheng
Published: July 2023

The Jing Luo theory has evolved over centuries, since before 300 BC, but a commonly cited early reference is the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medical) compiled between 200-100 BC. The Jing Luo system circulates Qi and Blood that nourishes and hydrates every cell of the body and balances Yin and Yang. Through a myriad of branches and connections, the Jing Luo joins the Exterior and Interior, internal organs and all regions of the body. The Jing Luo system can be divided into the Jing Mai (Major Channels) and Luo Mai (Collaterals and Connecting Channels). The Jing Mai consists of: 1) the 12 Regular Channels, 2) the 12 Skin Regions, 3) the 12 Muscle Regions, 4) the 12 Divergent Channels, 5) the 8 Extraordinary Channels and 6) the 4 Seas. The Luo Mai consists of 15 Collaterals and many small Connecting Channels that complete the dense Jing Luo network. Imbalances of Qi and Blood may occur in 1 or more areas of the Jing Luo and result in disease that cannot be completely resolved with standard acupuncture, moxibustion and Tui-na treatments. Special acupoints on the 12 Regular Channels and the Governing and Conception Vessel Channels can be useful to access and balance different parts of the Jing Luo network. With a deeper understanding of the Jing Luo system and knowledge of which acupoints access and balance specific Jing Luo components, the traditional Chinese veterinary medical practitioner may achieve better treatment results, especially in chronic unresponsive diseases.
The Therapeutic Actions of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Used for the Treatment of Equine Respiratory Diseases
Authors: Tangjitjaroen Weerapongse , Xie Huisheng , Colahan Patrick
Published: July 2023

Equine recurrent airway obstruction and summer pasture-associated obstructive pulmonary disease are the major causes of chronic poor performance and exercise intolerance in athletic horses. Conventional treatment includes administration of a bronchodilator, an anti-inflammatory agent, and elimination of the inciting environment. Affected horses usually require life-long medication. If a corticosteroid is being used as the anti-inflammatory agent, an iatrogenic immune suppression and repression of the endogenous adrenocorticosteroid production are the most common side effects. Chinese veterinary herbal medicine provides an alternative long-term therapy with minimal side effects. Four common Chinese herbal formulas, Schisandra 5, Lily Combination, Bu Fei San, and Breath Easer have been shown to be useful for treating chronic

respiratory disease. The pharmacological mechanisms of the phytochemical compounds present in 23 herbs found in these formulas are reviewed in this article. Active phytochemical compounds in the herbs are found in the form of primary and secondary metabolites. They may possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, or antitussive properties alone or in combination. The evidence for a relevant pharmacological mechanism of the active phytochemical compounds in each herb validates the use of Chinese herbal supplements for treating chronic respiratory problems. These findings emphasize that the development of herbal formulas by ancient Chinese herbalists was conducted cautiously and based on a unique knowledge of pharmacology and toxicology.
Food Therapy to Reduce the Stress of Summer Climate Changes
Authors: Basko Ihor
Published: July 2023

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) recognize that weather changes such as Wind, Heat, Damp, Dry, or Cold, alone or in combination, can be a source of seasonal stress which can lead to imbalance and disease in the body. In TCM and TCVM, food may be characterized as warming, cooling, neutral, hot, or cold. Changing the diet when the seasons or weather change can help prevent and treat imbalances in the body. Summer brings forth Heat (Yang) that is combined with either Dampness (temperate zones, tropics and subtropics) or Dryness (desert and drought areas). During the summer, dry commercial dog foods (Yang), dehydrated foods (Yang) and foods that produce Heat in the body such as soybean and safflower oils, shrimp, eel, lamb, chicken, chicken liver, beef marrow bone, turmeric, garlic, ginger, rosemary and basil should be avoided. In general during hot summers, foods should be lighter in fat, non-processed, and meat fed raw (especially in dry climates) but at room temperature. Fish, eggs, and tofu are good may be fed as occasional substitutes for meat or added to the meat during dry summer weather. The energetic and therapeutic effects of various foods are reviewed so the TCVM practitioner can design a diet to prevent and treat various imbalances within the body during the onset of Summer Heat. Besides treating imbalances in the body with acupuncture and herbs, a diet change is often an important part of the therapy.
Food Therapy and Tui-na to Treat Liver Qi Stagnation in A Wood Constitution Horse with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) and Arthritis
Authors: Villarroel Aurora
Published: July 2023

A 30-year-old Wood constitution mare developed Liver Qi Stagnation following dose increases of conventional medications being used to treat chronic arthritis, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) and chronic laminitis. Presenting clinical signs were generalized weakness and pain along the lumbosacral area and hips, which elicited angry behavior when acupoints were scanned. Acupuncture treatment became dangerous, and the mare also rejected Chinese herbal medicine. Wood constitution horses with chronic disease and lifelong daily drug regimens are at risk of developing Liver Qi Stagnation. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is not limited to acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, but also provides other treatment modalities such as Tui-na and food therapy, which may be more easily accepted by some animals. In this mare, TCVM treatment with Tui-na and food therapy allowed complete discontinuation of conventional drugs and their detrimental side effects, while maintaining good quality of life. Effective control of PPID with food therapy was monitored by blood concentration of adrenocorticotropic hormone relative to the reference standard for the season.

Santa Cruz River has significant importance for the economic development of the Philippines and the inhabitants depending on this river for various purposes. It is also one of the 21 major tributary rivers of Laguna de Bay that has a substantial contribution of 15% to the total lake water. This study aims to determine water quality in part of Liliw-Nagcarlan, Laguna of the Santa Cruz River in 2011 and 2022 and to identify the sub-watershed experiencing changes in water quality. There are three sites used for sampling (Talahibing, Bangkuro, and Lapad rivers). Physicochemical and hydrometry were measured in situ. Temperature, pH, and conductivity are within the normal limits. However, dissolved oxygen was generally above the normal limits based on the DENR Water Quality Guidelines. The results showed that the water quality in 2011 and 2022 was projected to change. The number of settlements, recreational activities, and nature park areas increased while the riparian vegetation decreased. The change in land cover will affect the water quality. The result of the assessment for the temperature and conductivity in 2022 was higher compared to 2011. The increase that occurred was influenced by the reduced dissolved oxygen and the pH level, which can cause fish kills and create significant harm to ecosystems. Flowrate was higher from 2022 compared to 2011, since the temperature increased, and the dissolved oxygen levels decreased from this study. Important correlations between the different parameters and the year of the study were proved.

For many years, the Land of Papua has experienced bloody battles as separatist parties fought for independence from the Indonesian government. Understanding how relative hardship contributes to complaints and drives violent action is one of the critical obstacles to resolving these disputes. Indigenous people in Papua have long felt exploited and marginalized by the national government and international businesses that take resources out of the area. Compared to others in a social group or society, the sense of unfair disadvantage is called relative deprivation. This feeling of relative deprivation has fostered demands for independence and violent confrontations with security forces. In order to analyze a specific phenomenon, this research study employs a qualitative methodology that includes a thorough literature review of reliable papers. The result of this study is that the Papuan people experience relative deprivation because they have lost what previously belonged to them, such as land and resource rights, political representation, cultural identity, human rights, and fair social services. This sense of loss has caused deprivation in the Papuan people. At the same time, this deprivation fosters a separatist spirit channelled through acts of violence that cause casualties. The central government's lack of concern exacerbates the relative deprivation conditions of the Papuan people. Thus, the people of Papua are increasingly marginalized by the central government.

Authors: Romanyuk Anatoliy
Published: July 2023

The characteristics of political parties of Ukraine and democratic countries in relation to the level of membership have been considered; its low level has been stated. In Ukraine, the formation of political parties was carried out in accordance with the model of “mass political party”, formulated by M. Duverger. Accordingly, regulations on political parties clearly define the requirements for formal membership. The main versions of the information on the number of members of political parties in Ukraine have been analyzed; its secrecy and impossibility of verification have been emphasized. On the basis of interviews with party activists of Lviv region, the parameters of membership in regional party branches have been determined. The influence of a number of factors on the involvement of non-party employees in party organizations has been clarified and their role in the work of party structures has been outlined. It has been proved that the low level of membership in regional centers is evidence of the crisis of the mass party model. It has been also proposed to consider as an indicator of this crisis the attempts to form a network party model by a number of newly created parties in Ukraine.
