Inactivated bacterial vaccines may contain residual levels of formaldehyde, which may have adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to determine the residual level of formaldehyde to ensure product safety. A number of assays are available for the determination of residual free formaldehyde in inactivated vaccines, including acetyl acetone titration, ferric chloride titration, and the basic fuchsin test. In the current study, ferric chloride quantitative method was used to evaluate formaldehyde residue on 4 types of vaccine produced in the Bacterial Vaccine section in Veterinary Research Institute (VRI), Ipoh. Four types of vaccines tested were Hemorrhagic Septicemia oil (HS oil), Hemorrhagic Septicemia alum (HS alum) vaccine, Duck vaccine (DV), and Sheep and Goat Pasteurellosis vaccine (SGP). Results revealed formaldehyde residue in vaccines tested was between 1.289 g/L to 2.228 g/L (mean SD ±0.18). According to European Pharmacopeia, when formaldehyde has been used in the preparation, the concentration of free formaldehyde is not greater than 0.5 g/L. While the United States Code of Federal stated that it must not exceed 0.74 g/L unless a higher amount has been shown to be safe. In our study, all the vaccines has been tested for safety and potency test before being used on animals, and therefore, it is safe for vaccination purpose. Formaldehyde residue will be conducted for each batch of vaccines production to ensure its safety.
CT-Coronary Angiography
Authors: Yussri Jemenin
Published: November 2019

A large body of literature has demonstrated the ability of coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography to rule out significant stenosis. This test is a non-invasive alternative to conventional cardiac angiography in the work-up of patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) and increasingly as an option for the people. A multi-slices Computed Tomography (CT) is able to perform coronary angiography with very fast scanning time within a few seconds. It is an imaging test tool to detect cardiovascular disease in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. It can be used to diagnose the cause of chest pain or other symptoms. Chest pain can be caused by myocardial infarction that may need immediate investigation and accurate diagnosis before any treatment. The procedure can be done as out-patient, convenient, and with very minimal contrast media (Dye) injection. A CT coronary angiography relies on a powerful X-ray machine with multi-detectors and special computer software to produce 2D and 3D images of the heart and its blood vessels. A conventional coronary angiography is an invasive procedure that requires a flexible tube (catheter) to be threaded through the groin or arm to the heart or coronary arteries. CT coronary angiography is an advantage, non-invasive, and the option for the patient who have contraindicated for conventional angiography. But clinically conventional angiography is still the gold standard for detecting coronary arterial disease.

Christia vespertilionis is a medicinal plant belonging to the Fabaceae family and traditionally consumed to manage diabetes. The present study aimed to screen the antidiabetic property by evaluating the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of multiple C. vespertilionis leaves extracts. C. vespertilionis leaves extracts were prepared using ethyl acetate, ethyl acetate: hexane, ethyl acetate: methanol, methanol, and hexane solvents and screened via α-glucosidase inhibitory assay, using quercetin as the positive control. Potential compounds present in the plant leaves that were reported previously were subjected to molecular docking simulation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae isomaltase (PDB code: 3A4A). The leaves extracts showed the IC50 values of α-glucosidase ranging from 0.195 mg/mL to 0.416mg/mL with ethyl acetate:hexane extract exhibiting highest inhibitory activity with the lowest  IC50 value of 0.195 ± 0.004 mg/mL. Some of the compounds reported in previous studies such as quercetin 3-0-glucoside, oleanolic acid methyl ester, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, geraniol and 2’-hydroxygenistein have shown potential binding energy level during interaction with the protein involving residues such as GLN279, GLN 353, THR306, ASP352 and ASN350 with hydrogen bond, while PHE303 and GLH277 with hydrophobic contact. The results have suggested that C. vespertilionis leaves has the potential to manage the hyperglycemia via α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and further study to identify potential inhibitors may enhance its use in pharmaceutical application.

Authors: Nur Izzah Madihah Baharuddin  , Kamaria Kamaruddin
Published: November 2019

Music has been widely used in our daily life and has been particularly useful in sports and exercise settings. Many researchers have explored the benefits and different types of music during sports activity and athletic performance. This study aims to investigate the effect of self-selected music on shooting the performance and the preferred type of music they listen to during the task. This is a quasi-experimental study done among 46 female netball players. They were asked to complete 12 trials shots at three different positions in front of the netball post. They were needed to complete the shooting trial under two conditions, with and without music within a one-week interval between the two conditions. Following the completion of the shooting performance, participants were needed to rate the motivational qualities of their selected music using the Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2) questionnaire. The result shown no significant differences between the two conditions on the participants' shooting performance (p>0.05), and most of the participants preferred to use fast type music compared to slow and medium music during the sports activity. Listening to music during the shooting performance didn’t improve their skill even with the use of the participants’ selected motivational music.
Are pharmacists needed at private outpatient Haemodialysis centres?
Authors: Zaswiza Mohamad Noor  , Nor Ilyani Mohamed Nazar  , Zulhasri Mahdzir
Published: November 2019

Haemodialysis is initiated in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, where patients spend about 3-4 hours, 3 times/week, attached to a dialysis machine. At private outpatient haemodialysis centres (POHC), patients are managed by trained-nurses. However, dialysis patients often have comorbidities and taking on average 10-12 medications/day, whereby it can be challenging for nurses to monitor medication adherence and verifying prescriptions. Furthermore, nurses are mostly occupied with the daily dialysis-related process. Renal pharmacists are involved in the healthcare team at Malaysia government-haemodialysis centres. However, the centres are overrun with a great number of patients, hence create a demand at POHC. Expanding the roles of pharmacists in POHC may be required to improve dialysis care. A study was conducted to identify nurses' view and knowledge on this matter. A descriptive cross-sectional study among nurses at POHC in Kuantan was piloted. Nurses were provided a guided-self-administered questionnaire, which has four sections; sociodemographic, knowledge, perception, and expectation. Data analysis was done using SPSS V.21. Sixty-three (N=63) nurses participated in this study. Findings showed that 52.4% had "adequate knowledge" on the potential roles of a pharmacist in POHC. Most nurses (84%) "agreed/strongly agreed" that pharmacists are reliable as the source for pharmaceutical care issues. At least 50.8% expected pharmacists to resolve drug-related problems at POHC. This study found that the nurses showed an adequate level of knowledge, perception, and expectation on the potential roles of pharmacists in POHC. Most of them had a positive perception on pharmacists in expanding pharmaceutical services in the centres.

Published: November 2019

Bacterial infection is one of the key challenges to the wound healing process. Ideal wound dressing materials should, therefore, be able to inhibit bacterial infection. The present study evaluated the antibacterial properties of composite films for use as wound dressing materials. The composite films, which were made up of starch, sodium hyaluronic acid (SHA), and sorbitol, were prepared at varying concentrations of hyaluronic acid (25-100mg) by solvent casting method. The composite films were tested against gram-negative Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhimurium as well as gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus for 24 hours by using the disc diffusion assay. Chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin were included as positive controls. Amongst the tested pathogens, composite films with SHA > 25mg inhibited only P. aeruginosa. It is noteworthy that the antibacterial effect of composite films with SHA > 50mg were comparable to those of chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. The present findings implied the possible incorporation of starch/ hyaluronic acid/ sorbitol composite films as part of wound dressing for protection against infection caused by P. aeruginosa.
Repeated sprint ability (RSA) performance is not related to body height and body weight measurements among perak sukma 2018 male rugby players
Authors: Nor Fazila Abd Malek  , Nur Ikhwan Mohamad  , Mohansundar Sankaravel2  , Sakinah Mohd Hassan
Published: November 2019

Repeated sprint ability (RSA) is typically used for speed-endurance and agility-endurance training and assessment. RSA is preferred as it mimics actual performance during competition. RSA test involves straight sprint and quick turning movements. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between height and body weight measurements on RSA performance, as height and weight may influence the mechanical properties of it. Ten male rugby players (body weight 72.99 ± 14.29 kg, height 169 ± 5.55 cm) selected for Perak SUKMA 2018 team were assessed during centralized training ~9 months prior to their competition.  Body weight and height were measured using standard laboratory weight and height scales prior to the RSA test. RSA were hand-timed for 5 repetitions x 2 sets x 60 seconds rest in between repetitions x 5 minutes rest in-between set. The sprints were performed in the evenings, on grass surface with participants wearing full playing attire. Standardized pre-game warm-up and cooling down were performed. Data recorded was analyzed statistically using a t-test comparison for set one versus set two performances. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between anthropometric measures and the RSA test. RSA performance has a negative correlation with the athletes’ height (r= -0.233 set 1, r = -0.435 set 2) and body weight (r= -0.556 set 1, r= -0.629 set 2). RSA performance was significantly different between set 1 and set 2 (p=0.001), with set 1 performance better than set 2. Body height and body weight did not influence RSA performance. Athletes involved did not have adequate speed-agility-endurance needed. In practical, selecting athletes based on their body height and body weight with the assumption that taller and heavier athletes may perform better may not be suitable for this kind of sport. On the other hand, using RSA to test and develop the speed-agility-endurance ability for rugby players is suggested.

Published: November 2019

Natural substances extracted from plants have been gaining attraction as protective agents due to their safety and responsible for multiple biological effects on skins. The present study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, Sun Protection Factor (SPF), and antioxidant potential of different solvent extracts of Graptophyllum pictum leaves. The dried powdered leaves were extracted by the cold maceration method, using three different solvents, i.e., methanol, ethanol, and water. The extracted leaves was tested for antioxidant activity using of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl). Total phenolic content was determined using the Follin-Ciocalteu and for total flavonoid content with used the aluminium chloride. The SPF of all extracts were analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. The total phenolic content is the highest in methanol extract (377.61±0.31 µg/ml), and total flavonoid content is the highest in ethanol extract (158.06 ± 0.18 µg/ml). For DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ethanolic extract showed the maximum percentage of inhibition, and for SPF, methanol extract had displayed the highest. The study recommends that methanol is a good solvent for the extraction of sun-protective constituents from G. pictum.

Within and between-day differences in adolescents’ objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior
Authors: Viciana Jesús , Mayorga-Vega Daniel , Parra-Saldías Maribel
Published: November 2019

A decline in adolescents’ moderate-to-vigorous
physical activity (MVPA) and the increase in their sedentary behavior (SB) have
been registered all over the world. In order to increase the MVPA and reduce
the SB of adolescents, their day has been analyzed by segments of time,
verifying the contribution of each to the daily recommendation of 60
minutes/day. Previous studies have been centered only in physical activity
markers, but the SB variables were not compared nor the segments of the
school-recess with the out-of-school period or with the weekend. This study
aimed to examine the intra- and inter-days differences in the objectively
measured levels of PA and SB in adolescents. A sample of 156 Chilean school
students (87 boys and 69 girls; M age=13.41; SD=.67 years) participated in the
present study. Participants’ PA and SB were objectively measured by a GT3X
accelerometer. Overall results showed that only 14% and 9% of Chilean
adolescents achieved the daily recommendation of 60 minutes of MVPA on weekdays
and the weekend, respectively. School recess was found the best moment for
developing MVPA, followed by out-of-school time, and ending with weekend days
presenting the worst scenario. Regarding the SB, Chilean adolescents were
involved in SB 69.39% of the time on weekdays, and over 70% during the weekend.
Different strategies are discussed in order to increase the MVPA and to
decrease SB in each segment of a day.
La globalisation de la sociologie en situation africaine: entre résistances et dynamiques de structuration

Résumé: La présente contribution porte sur la globalisation de la sociologie ou, du moins, sa dé-localisation en regard des situations africaines. Elle s’emploie à faire le point de cette dynamique à la lumière du paradigme du Grand Partage de manière à donner une image de la situation et des trajectoires de ce processus dans ce contexte. L’étude comprend deux parties. La première analyse les mouvements de construction de la globalisation de la sociologie par le biais de la résistance pendant que la seconde étudie les voies expérimentées par les chercheurs qui tablent sur l’articulation du temps local et du temps scientifique global.

It examines situation in light of Grand Partage (developmentalism) paradigm in the way to discover orientations taking by this process in this particular context. The study is divided in two parts. The first one analyses the building of globalization by resistance movements when the second focuses on the experiences of African researchers who are engaged in articulating local and global scientific times or dynamics to build an original way of sociological practice.
Embedded Addiction: The Social Production of Gambling Knowledge and the Development of Gambling Markets
Authors: Cosgrave James F.
Published: November 2019

This paper discusses features of the development of gambling markets, particularly the production of gambling knowledges that interact with and contribute to the constitution of these markets. While gambling expansion is predicated on the provision of “entertainment,” and where gambling is marketed as the consumption of safe risks, there is also the possibility of risky consumption and the production of problem gamblers. The paper discusses the knowledge produced around the figure of the problem gambler, and how the figure has been productive in terms of institutional developments. The risks posed by the problematic gambler (e.g. to state-owned gambling enterprises) must be “solved” in order to enable the legitimization of markets and the ongoing quest for profits/revenues. The paper analyzes knowledge production by situating this production in relation to contemporary sociological orientations to consumption and risk in late modernity.
What Do ‘We’ Know That ‘They’ Don’t? Sociologists’ versus Non-Sociologists’ Knowledge
Authors: Mesny Anne
Published: November 2019

This paper attempts to clarify or to reposition some of the controversies generated by Burawoy’s defense of public sociology and by his vision of the mutually stimulating relationship between the different forms of sociology. Before arguing if, why, and how, sociology should or could be more ‘public’, it might be useful to reflect upon what it is we think we, as sociologists, know that ‘lay people’ do not. This paper thus explores the public sociology debate’s epistemological core, namely the issue of the relationship between sociologists’ and non-sociologists’ knowledge of the social world. Four positions regarding the status of sociologists’ knowledge versus lay people’s knowledge are explored: superiority (sociologists’ knowledge of the social world is more accurate, objective and reflexive than lay people’s knowledge, thanks to science’s methods and norms), homology (when they are made explicit, lay theories about the social world often parallel social scientists’ theories), complementarity (lay people’s and social scientists’ knowledge complement one another. The former’s local, embedded knowledge is essential to the latter’s general, disembedded knowledge), and circularity (sociologists’ knowledge continuously infuses commonsensical knowledge, and scientific knowledge about the social world is itself rooted in common sense knowledge. Each form of knowledge feeds the other). For each of these positions, implications are drawn regarding the terms, possibilities and conditions of a dialogue between sociologists and their publics, especially if we are to take the circularity thesis seriously. Conclusions point to the accountability we face towards the people we study, and to the idea that sociology is always performative, a point that has, to some extent, been obscured by Burawoy’s distinctions between professional, critical, policy and public sociologies.
What once was sick is now bad: The shift from victim to deviant identity for those diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Authors: Dej Erin
Published: November 2019

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is constituted by different networks and institutions. I demonstrate that while the symptoms associated with FASD do not differ from childhood to adulthood, their conceptualization and thus societal and governmental responses to individuals with FASD changes dramatically. This work is theoretically grounded in Rose’s work on psy-identities and Hacking’s concept of a looping effect, which suggests that the way an individual and their associates make sense of an identity manipulates the identity itself. In order to unpack the reconstruction of the FASD identity in adulthood, I have identified two linked but distinctive loops – that of the promising child and the deviant adult. These two loops help conceptualize the different institutions, stakeholders and knowledges that take interest in the ‘FASD child’ and those that constitute the ‘FASD adult’ identity within the criminal justice system.
An Accelerating Divergence? The Revisionist Model of World History and the Question of Eurasian Military Parity: Data from East Asia
Authors: Andrade Tonio
Published: November 2019

Over the past few years, this journal has hosted a debate central to world history and historical sociology: Joseph M. Bryant’s bold assault on the revisionist model of global history and the revisionists’ equally trenchant defense. A key point of disagreement concerns Europeans' relative military advantages vis-a-vis Asians. Both sides cite literature from historians’ Military Revolution Model, but each takes different lessons from that literature. The revisionists see a slight military imbalance in favor of Europe but deny that it reflects a general European technological lead. Bryant believes that the European technological lead is significant and reflects a more general modernizing trend. This article tries to resolve the disagreement by appealing to data from East Asia. First, it argues that recent work in Asian history points to what we can call a Chinese Military Revolution, which compels us to place the European Military Revolution in a larger, Eurasian context: not just western European but also East Asian societies were undergoing rapid military change and modernization during the gunpowder age. Second, it adduces evidence from a new study of the Sino-Dutch War of 1661-1668 (a war that both Bryant and the revisionists cite, each, again, taking divergent lessons) to come to a more precise evaluation of the military balance between China and western Europe in the early modern period: western cannons and muskets didn’t provide a discernible advantage, but western war ships and renaissance forts did. The article concludes that the revisionists are correct in their belief that Asian societies were undergoing rapid changes in military technology and practices along the lines of those taking place in western Europe and that the standard model Bryant defends is incorrect because it presumes that Asian societies are more stagnant than is warranted by the evidence. At the same time, the article argues that counter-revisionists like Bryant are correct in their belief that military modernization was proceeding more quickly in Europe than that in Asia, which may indicate that the counter-revisionists are correct on a basic point: there was an early divergence between the west and the rest of Eurasia. At first this divergence was slight – so slight, indeed, that it probably left little clear evidence in the noisy and poor early modern data we have available. But the divergence increased over time. Thus, we can speak of a small but accelerating divergence.

The results of the investigation of the influence of the microclimatic conditions on the weathering (hydration) of anhydrite and the formation of gypsum domes and caves from swelling of the anhydrite beds in the Pisky quarry are presented. The whole day synchronous measurements of temperature and humidity, with an interval of 15 minutes, were conducted in the selected points within the gypsum-anhydrite domes (inside the caves), in the vicinity of the domes, and in the variable sites of the stone pit, with the use of the automatic electronic recording devices. The values of temperature and humidity from 15 representative sites, recorded during the stable hot weather conditions, have been analysed. The average diurnal and extreme values, and the diurnal run of the temperature have been shown on the graphic drawings. The reasoning has been made about the dependence of the gypsum domes and caves formation on the conditions of availability of the water; the water from precipitation, the ground water, the water running down the slopes, and the condensation water. It has been pointed out that microclimatic conditions influence the development of gypsum domes and caves from swelling of the anhydrite beds through the condensation of water onto the anhydrite bed in the conditions of aspiration of the humid air through the caves. Key words: gypsum domes, caves from swelling of the anhydrite beds, anhydrite rocks, hydration, gypsum, microclimatic conditions, condensation of water vapor.
Correlation of the river valleys terraces of the Volhynian Upland based
on morphological and lithological features
Authors: Novak Taras
Published: November 2019

River valleys of Volhynian Upland are characterized by a larger number of terraces and a greater depth of their downcutting compared with neighbouring Polissia and Male Polissia. We established that the major rivers of Volhynian Upland have floodplain and mostly three terraces. The valley of the Horyn River is different from others by presence of fourth terrace. According to received information, the age of forming of the highest terrace (revealed only in the Horyn Valley) can be considered as Early Pleistocene, the third terrace – Middle Pleistocene, and the two lowest terraces – Late Pleistocene. Relief of the Early and Middle Pleistocene terraces is characterized by high degree of dissection and presence of sufficiently thick loess cover. At higher Late Pleistocene terrace loess cover isn’t revealed everywhere and has a small thickness (typically up to 5 m). The lowest terrace in most valleys has local distribution and it is composed mainly of sandy material. The surface of this terrace is located on several hypsometric levels. Floodplain usually has two high-rise levels. It formed in the Holocene. Key words: river valley, terrace, floodplain, Volhynian Upland, Horyn River, Styr River, Zakhidnyi Buh River.
Geography of Ukrainian lands in scientific heritage of famous German
geographer Anton Busching
Authors: Rutynskyi Mykhailo
Published: November 2019

A. Busching is one of the greatest European geographers of second half of the XVIII century. The most fundamental work – Neue Erdbeschreibung oder Universal Geographie (1754) – brought him worldwide fame only during his lifetime was reprinted eight times and has been translated into almost all European languages. A. Busching systematized geographic information is very valuable source of historical geography of Ukraine. Each new reissue of the information (including statistics) A. Busching meticulously update, detailed and changed with the times era. In the 60’s gave a lengthy description of Ukrainian lands Red Ruthenia as part of the Kingdom of Poland. In the 70’s he was first among European geographers who published a geographical description of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. In the 80’s A. Busching published a series of statistical-geographical studies of new data on the geography of population, economy, communications and commerce Western, Central and Southern Ukrainian lands. The role and contribution of A. Busching in a geographical study of Ukraine in the second half of the seventeenth century are considered. In 1762–1763 A. Busching introduced to the world geographical community a new generalizing geographical name of the country, which was known from earlier treatises as Kievan Rus, Red Ruthenia, Cossacks’ province. The title of the relevant section of it preserved colonial official name given in 1764 by Catherine II disbanded it Hetman state – Little Russia. But below its geographical characteristics, this definition was begun: “The country of the Cossacks, usually called Ukraine...” A. Busching filed a brief geographical reference of all provinces and major cities of Ukraine. Busching’s books interesting information about her administrative-territorial structure, number cities, geography of trade, state of the river and road transport, formation centres manufactured crafts etc. A. Busching in 1772–1775 was the first systematized scientific community for world geography major geographic information system on the new administrative-territorial unit Europe – the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria – successor of earlier Principality of Galicia-Volyn Rus and Rus country. A. Busching is the author of the first survey maps of Europe that reflect this geographical unit. Content and factual materials of the scientific heritage of geographer were critically analysed and modified. It is shown the value of certain works of the scientist for historical-geographical studios and territorial development of Ukrainian lands that period. Key words: Ukraine, the Ukrainian lands, historical geography, scientific heritage, A. Busching.
Lithological characteristic of the riverbed alluvium of the sixth terrace of the Dnister–Stryvihor in the Dubrivka section (Forecarpathians)
Authors: Yatsyshyn Andriy , Bogucki Andriy
Published: November 2019

The main lithological characteristics of riverbed facies of alluvium of the sixth terrace above the floodplain of the Dnister-Stryvihor Rivers (Loyeva level) near Sambir were analysed. The granulometric and petrographic composition of the gravelly-pebble material, its roundness, form and the orientation of grains were characterised. Lithological analyses helped to determine that investigated layer of alluvium are poorly sorted. The three main components of alluvial strata (pebbles, gravel and sand-loamy filler) are present in approximately comparable proportions. Boulders are least common in the composition the alluvium. Coarse material is preferably well and medium rounded. Poorly and very well rounded fragments happen considerably rarely. The preferred direction of transport of fragment materials was Northwest–Southeast. Its direction is approximate to the current of modern Stryvihor. The fragments of the Carpathian rocks (sandstones, siltstones and silicates) dominate in a petrographic composition of coarse-grained alluvial deposits. That means that the Carpathians were the main source of supply of clastic material during the formation of investigated strata of alluvium. The rocks of local origin, which is involved from the bed of alluvium during the cutting of paleoStryvihor in the thickness of pre-Quaternary rocks of the Carpathian Foredeep, were mixed with the fragments of the Carpathian rocks in small amounts. The results of lithological studies show that paleo-Stryvihor accumulated the alluvial strata of Dubrivka section after that time when it had cut into the socle of Torhanovychi terrace up to 8–10 m before the deposition of alluvium. In other words, the preserved fragment of Loyeva level between the villages Torhanovychi and Dubrivka that is on the Dnister-Stryvihor interfluves consists of two terraces of different ages. One of them is a hypsometric higher and older Torhanovychi terrace, which was formed by paleo-Dnister River, and the other one is a hypsometric lower and respectively younger Dubrivka terrace, which was formed by paleo-Stryvihor River. Key words: alluvium, granulometric composition, petrographic composition, roundness of grains, sandstones, siltstones, silicates, gaizes, current of palaeochannel, Loyeva level.
