Evaluation of Antibiotics Used in COVID-19 Patients in West of Iran: A Descriptive Study
Authors: Mahmoudi Hassan
Published: October 2023

Introduction:

In coronavirus disease (COVID-19), antibiotics are frequently prescribed to treat bacterial co-infections. Moreover, antibiotics are one of the pre-eminent essential drugs utilized in treatment. However, due to their high cost and association with resistance, their consumption pattern is important to be considered. In this regard, the first step is to optimize the use of these drugs.

Objective:

Regarding limited data on assessing the pandemic effect on antibiotics used in Iran, this study aimed to describe the evaluation of antibiotics used in COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in West Iran.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 350 COVID-19 patients were enrolled in hospitals, and their characteristics, such as age, sex, ward, beginning and conclusion dates, organization intervals, dose, and the type of antibiotic utilized, were assessed. It was found that 180 COVID-19 patients received systemic antibiotics. Antibiotic administration was analyzed based on a Defined Daily Dose (DDD) /100-bed days (expended per 100-bed occupied days).

Results:

A total of 180 (51.43%) of the COVID-19 patients received antimicrobials, comparable to 219.62 DDD/100-bed days. Moreover, 85% of the antimicrobials were infused, and 15% were oral. Among the wards, the highest rate was in the infectious and intensive care unit (ICU) wards and the lowest in the obstetrics and gynecology wards.

Conclusion:

The use of antibiotics in patients with COVID-19 was assessed as very high, which should be reviewed in terms of the association between misuse of antibiotics and the emergence of resistance.

Published: October 2023

Background::

Diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure all considerably raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. When all three of these characteristics
occur at once, a metabolic problem is postulated. A combination of antihypertensive, hypolipidemic, and anti-diabetic medications is frequently
utilised to treat cardiovascular diseases. While statins (fluvastatin, simvastatin, etc.) are used to lower cholesterol levels, calcium channel blockers
(e.g. amlodipine, efonidipine, and azelnidipine, etc.) are used to target the smooth muscles of the heart. Diuretics (e.g. chlortalidone,
hydrochlorothiazide, etc.) and angiotensin II receptor antagonist (blockers) are also used to manage high blood pressure.

Objective::

The study aimed to review liquid chromatography and related high-performance (HPLC) techniques that have been developed and used for
evaluating the above drugs, together with an overview of the research work published in various scientific and drugs-linked journals.

Results::

A basic critical investigation of the detailed published information has been completed and the current status of HPLC and related techniques as a
percent measure of calcium channel blockers has been examined.

Conclusion::

This survey has explored several matrices, including pharmacological products and organic samples, as well as methods for examining direct
calcium blockers in them. It also discusses the current state of calcium channel blocker stability investigations. Additionally, it offers scientific
approaches for the concurrent estimate of angiotensin II receptor antagonism, diuretics, statins, and beta-blockers with calcium channel blockers.

Published: October 2023

An aging population, increasing pollution, and people's lethargic lifestyles are some of the main reasons behind the growth of the healthcare sector. Indian entrepreneurs and researchers recognize this growth, opportunity, and the provision of medical services in different ways. The idea of using cloud-based services via the world wide web, networked systems, etc., in healthcare is known as Health Information Technology (HIT). It primarily uses patient-related electronic medical records, information, and data to provide treatment and services more effectively. The various challenges and issues related to the use of information technology include the unavailability of internet facilities in all regions, the lack of policies, guidelines, standards, and the lack of adequate infrastructure and educated staff members. Developing policies, standards, and guidelines to maintain quality, increasing government funding to improve current infrastructure, and purchasing and installing the appropriate technology based on current healthcare IT-related situations and challenges are some of the recommendations to be made in the existing infrastructure of the healthcare industry. HITs are crucial to maintaining a better healthcare system since they affect overall hospital performance and the quality of health information. This research is not focused on the relationship between HITs, hospital performance and health information quality. It highlights the significance of investing more in HITs and the quality of health information in the healthcare sector, with the predicted outcomes being an increase in productivity, performance leveraging, and mistake reduction.

Authors: Yang Joseph , Sia Sean , Atlas Glen
Published: October 2023

Background:

Craniotomies are commonly performed neurosurgical procedures. Quantitating cerebral surface strain may facilitate the identification of intracerebral pathology and improve intraoperative management of underperfused brain tissue.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to test the use of digital image correlation software to quantify cerebral surface strain of intraoperative cerebral tissue during craniotomies.

Methods:

Ncorr, an open-source software program, was used to perform digital image correlation analysis from publicly available craniotomy videos. Mann-Whitney U tests were then utilized to assess statistical differences between craniotomy datasets.

Results:

Four different craniotomies were retrospectively examined, and the acquired cerebral surface strain data were subsequently extracted and analyzed. Statistically significant cerebral surface strain values were identified when comparing the four craniotomies. Additional prospective research is needed to establish baseline ranges of cerebral surface strain and to further understand the potential utility and limitations of this non-invasive intraoperative monitoring technique.

Conclusion:

This preliminary study successfully demonstrated the use of computer-based image analysis for the non-invasive quantification of cerebral surface strain during neurosurgery.
Analysis of Aggregate Types with Micro-texture and Macro-texture Characteristics of Asphalt Mixture in Indonesia
Authors: Sulandari Eti , Subagio Bambang Sugeng , Rahman Harmein , Maha Indra
Published: October 2023

Background:

Micro-texture and macro-texture are two essential parameters that functionally evaluate friction on asphalt pavement surface. While micro-texture indicates the irregularity of aggregate using British Pendulum Tester (BPN), macro-texture shows the larger irregularity of asphalt mix surface using Mean Texture Depth (MTD). Both micro-texture and macro-texture contribute to increased skid resistance value, which is needed for road to meet the safety qualification.

Aim:

This study aims to investigate the effect of local aggregate types and aggregate proportion (%) on asphalt mix on pavement textures (micro and macro-texture).

Methods:

Laboratory experiments were conducted on four types of local aggregates (A, B, C, and D), which were carried from West Java, Indonesia, and aggregate has a different characteristic to each other. In addition, three asphalt mix types (SMA-fine, AC-WC, and HRS-WC), each containing varying proportion (%) of aggregates, were investigated to analyze change in texture on asphalt mix surface. Statistical analysis with two-way ANOVA was carried out to investigate the significance of aggregate type and asphalt mix type on pavement surface.

Results:

The results showed that each aggregate exhibited different characteristics chemically and mechanically. Four types of local aggregate possessed distinctive characteristics for the asphalt mix performance (i.e., OAC and density) and pavement textures. Statistically, it was clearly found that both aggregate type and asphalt mix type were strongly related to pavement texture.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the aggregate type and asphalt mix type with varying aggregate proportions (%), such as coarse aggregate (CA), aggregate-fine (FA), and filler (FF), affect the micro-texture and macro-texture.

Published: October 2023

Background:

Damage to a discoid meniscus often indicates a complex tear, the treatment for which has not yet been resolved. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with suture repair for discoid lateral meniscus in patients under 40 years of age.

Methods:

A total number of 10 patients aged < 40 years who underwent partial meniscectomy with meniscal repair for lateral discoid meniscal tears were included in the study. Clinical assessment was evaluated pre-and post-surgery, and magnetic resonance imaging was performed at a mean of 9.5 months after surgery.

Results:

The Lysholm score improved from 43 ± 19.3 to 87.2 ± 7.8 (range: 94 − 100) at the last follow-up after surgery. The International Knee Documentation Committee score improved from 21.8 ±10.4 to 87.7 ± 4.8 at the last follow-up time after surgery. MRI revealed partial healing of the meniscus in six patients and residual damage of the meniscus in four patients. Extrusion was noted in three patients shown in coronal plane images.

Conclusion:

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with suture repair for discoid lateral meniscus in 10 patients under 40 years of age led to satisfactory clinical outcomes after a mean period of 11.2 months. However, in three cases, although the symptoms have improved, the remaining meniscus had worn off.

Tempe is one of the popular foods in Indonesia which comes from fermented soybeans with the help of Rhizopus oligosporus. The development of tempeh with non-soy ingredients is starting to be carried out frequently. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata) is one of the nuts that is often consumed by Indonesian people. Cowpeas can be an alternative substrate for tempeh fermentation, because of their nutritional content, including vitamins and minerals, which are quite good for the body. However, some of these minerals are still bound to the phytic acid compound so it needs to be explained by the fermentation process. This research aimed to determine the ash content, mineral content of iron, calcium, and total mold in cowpea tempeh at a fermentation time of 35, 45, and 54 hours using standard methods. The research design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with repetition 3 times for each treatment for fermentation duration P1 (35 hours), P2 (45 hours), and P3 (54 hours). The ash and calcium content of cowpea tempeh decreased with fermentation times of 45 and 54 hours compared to 35 hours. In terms of iron content, the amount was almost the same at all fermentation times. Meanwhile, the total number of molds increased with fermentation times of 45 and 54 hours. Based on the results of observations for further research, the fermentation time for making cowpea tempeh used in this optimization was determined to be 35 hours. A fermentation time of 35 hours produces good cowpea tempeh, high calcium content, and efficient time and energy.

Study on the Acceptance Pattern of BaiLiang style in Early Chosŏn
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Song ChaeEun
Published: October 2023

This article analyzes the concept of the BaiLiang style, a literary style derived from a literary genre called BaiLiang poem, known as the origin of the heptasyllabic and stanzaic poem, while examining how it was accepted and developed in Korea. The BaiLiang poem is a stanzaic poem collaboratively written by the Wu Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his twenty-five subjects. After that, poets began to produce heptasyllabic poems, leading to the formation of the genre, BaiLiang style.
It stands to reason that not only Chinese authors but also Korean literati wrote and enjoyed the BaiLiang style. Since Choi Chi-won composed the <智證和尙碑銘>, several Korean writers during the Koryŏ and Chosŏn Dynasties produced poems with the BaiLiang style. In China, the stanzaic poems were continuously produced collaboratively by Emperors and their subjects from the time of the Wu Emperor's reign to the Qing dynasty. On the contrary, the BaiLiang style by individual poets was more significant in Korean literature.

The overall objective of this study is to examine the productivity and profitability of cucumber production in Imo State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 216 cucumber farmers who were administered a questionnaire. Data were collected from primary sources and analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgeting principles, total and partial factor productivity model, and ordinary least square multiple regression approach. The mean productivity ratio of 0.0049 was used to isolate the land productivity levels of cucumber farmers into high and low degrees. Owerri zone had total factor productivity (TFP) and partial factor productivity (PFP) of 2.11 and 22.9, Okigwe had TFP and PFP of 2.69 and 31.0, and Orlu zone had 3.43 and 36.5 respectively. Age, gender, family size, farm size, education, farming experience, cooperative membership, and extension contacts were important and significant factors affecting net returns and land productivity of farmers in the state. Previous studies reported non-significance of age, education, and farming experience, which is completely different from the results of this study. Cucumber production and marketing were mainly constrained by low capital (100%), high labor costs (92.1%), and high input costs (94.4%). Cucumber production in the state was lucrative, profitable, and economically viable as evidenced by a net return of ₦53547.06.

OBJECTIVE

In China, tertiary general hospitals are overwhelmingly crowded. Long waiting time and complex accessing processes have severely impacted on the patients’ perception of service. Meanwhile, it has aroused widespread concern among researchers who are seeking solutions from the mobile health application perspective. However, less research has been conducted on the impact of using Mobile Health Apps (UMHA) on Health Information Sharing (HIS) and tense Doctor-Patient Relationship (DPR). This study focuses on an empirical analysis on the impact of the UMHA on HIS and tense DPR.

METHODS

We employed research hypothesis model based on the literature review. Additionally, a well-established scale was used as a data acquisition tool, and experts in the healthcare field were invited to revise the content of the scale. The study conducted a random paper-based questionnaire survey among outpatients at two Grade A tertiary hospitals, Nanjing Gulou Hospital and Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, between May 2020 and June 2021, and finally the research hypotheses and study model were validated.

RESULTS

The study distributed 618 questionnaires and 582 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid return rate of 94.17%. The results demonstrate that the reliability of the subscales and the total amount were acceptable. Patient Satisfaction and HIS mediated the relationship between the UMHA and the DPR. The UMHA has a significant positive correlation with HIS, while has a significant negative correlation with the DPR.

CONCLUSIONS

The positive effect of the UMHA and HIS on the DPR was confirmed; key factors affecting the DPR were identified, and valuable theoretical and practical guidance was provided on how to reduce conflict in the DPR by UMHA.
Insulin resistance and hyperuricemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus: clinical and biochemical correlates
Authors: Cherniaieva A.O.
Published: October 2023

Background. Some patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) have clinical symptoms that are characteristic of the type 2 DM: obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, hyperuricemia (HU), dyslipidemia, or the metabolic syndrome, which has been called double diabetes. It is associated with an increased frequency of chronic micro- and macrovascular complications (nephropathy, arteriosclerosis obliterans and ischemic heart disease). The purpose of the study is quantitative assessment of insulin resistance severity using indirect (non-insulin) methods and determination of its correlation with serum uric acid (UA) levels in patients with type 1 DM. Materials and methods. One hundred and eighty-one patients with type 1 DM were examined, their average age was 42.5 ± 12.1 years. Anthropometric research was conducted. Indirect methods for quantitative assessment of insulin resistance were used. The analysis was conducted using non-parametric and parametric statistical methods. Results. In patients with HU, anthropometric indices were significantly higher than in those with normouricemia, which indicated an abdominal type of fat deposition. In HU, a more pronounced insulin resistance was observed compared to that in normouricemia. It was found that in type 1 DM, the serum UA level positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and negatively with the estimated rate of glucose utilization, sensitivity to insulin and the natural logarithm of the rate of glucose utilization. A group of variables with the greatest contribution to the variation of the serum UA level was selected by stepwise multifactorial regression analysis of models from the studied predicates. Conclusions. It has been shown that patients with type 1 DM and HU have a significantly more severe insulin resistance. There was a correlation between anthropometric and calculated indices, reflecting the severity of insulin resistance, with the serum level of UA. The group of predicates with the greatest contribution to the variance of the serum UA level in patients with type 1 DM was selected.
AN APPLICATION OF OPTIMIZATION IN DISTANCE AND TIME TRAVEL OF SOLID WASTE COLLECTION IN TANGERANG MUNICIPALITY
Authors: Radhitya Martha Eka Dewi  , Yori Herwangi
Published: October 2023

Solid waste management has become a major challenge due to strong urban population growth in many developing countries. As one of Indonesia's highest-density population cities, Tangerang City faces the disorganization of the solid waste management system handled by the government. This study aims to create an alternative solid waste disposal transportation by modelling the route and the number of trips. The initial step in reducing the unnecessary distance is redesigning the landfill area's vehicle pool. The vehicles should start and end the activity at the landfill. The calculation of OD pair distance uses Google API in the specific departure time by inputting coordinate data such as longitude and latitude. The application simultaneously applied the documentation of distance and time to 338 waste collection points. The data result is compiled in the distance matrix to find the closest destination between the collection point. The combination of collection points must meet the capacity requirement. Lastly, the new vehicle task is taken from the optimized routes. Compared to the current system, the new collection plan can achieve a reduction of 8% in the distance driven and 4% in the collection time. The development model is beneficial in shortening the distance driven and the travel time.

Published: October 2023

The paper delves into the shifting dynamics of international relations in the age of Drone warfare. Through this paper, I explore the complex and morally ambiguous terrain of Drone Warfare in the era of globalisation as the boundaries between nationalism and terrorism are perpetually blurring, striking concerns with the questions of military regulation and ethics surrounding the battlefield and the delegation of AI in decision making during warfare. This paper throws light on the moral dilemma of the operators sitting miles away from the conflict zone, detached from war’s immediate consequence and also centres around accountability and the implication of abdication of human agency within international law.
Parallel Interplay between Tradition and Folk Theatre: A Study of select works of Vijay Tendulkar
Authors: Islam Md. Alemul
Published: October 2023

Folk theatre is the root of modern Indian drama, and with the advancement of modernity, folk theatre keeps balancing the dynamic aspect of modernity. Most of India's well-known playwrights overcame the limitations of regional language throughout the 1970s and produced a number of excellent plays on a national scale. The majority of their experimental productions were focused on incorporating Indian folk theatre components or performance traditions into mainstream theatre. As a result, we see Utpal Dutt using Jatra in Surya Sikar and Girish Karnad adopting Yakshagna, a traditional type of theatre, in his play Hayavadana (1972). In order to create a new type of theatre that he called the "Third Theatre" or "Street Theatre", Badal Sircar experimented with incorporating folk elements into proscenium theatres. Similar to his contemporaries, Vijay Tendulkar also experimented with many types of folk drama in Ghasiram Kotwal (1972) and other plays. The current study is an integrated effort to concentrate on how tradition and modernity are portrayed in Vijay Tendulkar's plays. Another way to put it is that modernity has economic, social, cultural, and political ramifications. A cultural driving force with social, economic, and political ramifications is tradition. Vijay Tendulkar explores both conventional and contemporary tendencies in his plays through folk theatre. In his plays, he combines elements of heritage and modernism. They are entangled with both modernity and tradition. One may easily notice Tendulkar's keen observation of life in his plays . He strikes a delicate balance between tradition and contemporary in expressing the social realities . The purpose of this article is try to understand how Tendulkar employed various folk theatre styles to express power dynamics and the outcome of oppression, a very modern and postcolonial subject, on stage.

Abstract: There is almost no water left on earth that is safe to drink without purification after 20-25 years from today. This is a seemingly bold statement, but it is unfortunately true. Only 1% of Earth's water is in afresh, liquid state, and nearly al of this is poluted by both diseases andtoxic chemicals. For this reason, purification ofwater supplies is extremely important. Keeping these things in mind, we have devised a model which wil convert the dirty/saline water into pure/potable water using the renewable source of energy (i.e. solar energy). The basic modes of the heat transfer involved are radiation, convection and conduction. The results are obtained by evaporation of the dirty/saline water and fetching it out as pure/drinkable water. The designed model produces 1.5 litres of pure waterfrom 14 litres of dirty water during six hours. The eficiency of plant is 64.37%. The TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) in the pure water is 81ppm.
