Diarrhea is the cause of high mortality and morbidity in children, which is caused by various factors, especially low public awareness and the ability of children to wash their hands, are causes that must be controlled by increasing knowledge. One way to increase knowledge among the Indonesian people with a large population is through empowering health cadres as agents of change, but the dynamics show that health cadres are still unfamiliar with various health promotion media, and Snakes and Ladders media is an effective medium for increasing children's knowledge; therefore empowerment is needed to health cadres. Initiating the empowerment of health cadres to carry out health promotion using snakes and ladders media is a method that can be used because health cadres are the closest part of the community, so that they can reach the community, and games are the suitable media for children. The result of this service is an increase in the knowledge and ability of cadres about health promotion with Snakes and Ladders media. Health cadres are formed who can carry out health promotion using Snakes and Ladders media. There is an increase in children's knowledge and abilities about how to wash their hands with soap. With a sustainable program, the ability to wash hands can continue to increase and prevent the occurrence of diarrheal diseases or various other diseases so that Indonesia's health status increases.

This service activity is motivated by efforts to maintain health after the Covid-19 pandemic. The community carries out preventive efforts by providing stocks of their medicines at home. The culture of storing medicines in the household requires proper drug management to prevent drug damage due to improper storage, drug use errors, and environmental pollution due to errors in handling damaged or expired drugs. The pharmacist's role is vital in providing drug management education to the community. Another preventive effort undertaken by the community is to maintain a healthy body by applying a diet where fast food currently contains a lot of Food Additives (BTP), which can threaten long-term public health. For this reason, people need to get an education directly, so they are wise in using BTP. The solution is to educate the public regarding managing household medicines and healthy food for parents and guardians of RA Al Manshur Play Group (KB) students in Bojonegoro. Activities are packaged in counseling methods and training/practice activities. The expected outcome of the activity is an increase in the understanding of guardian parents, as indicated by an average post-test score of >65 with an increase in score of >10% compared to the pretest. By increasing the understanding of parents and teachers about managing medicines and healthy food in the family, it is hoped that conditions of good health and well-being in society will be achieved.

Adolescence is a transitional period of development and growth faced by children aged 15/16 years due to various physical, social and emotional changes, all of which will cause anxiety and discomfort. As a result. This period is also known as a period full of storms and pressure, because teenagers must learn to adapt and accept all the changes that often cause emotional upheaval in them. If the activities carried out by adolescents with their peers are inadequate to meet the demands of their energy fluctuations, adolescents often release their excess energy in a negative direction. This can happen because the environment is often not in accordance with inner desires or expectations, so that a person feels disappointed due to an imbalance between expectations and reality. Therefore, individuals who are in their teenage years especially early adolescents, need adjustments to these changes in tasks and roles so that adolescents feel that they are accepted by the environment and can adapt well to situations of environmental expectations. And as a BK teacher, you have to properly guide early youth so that they have a directed future.

In this research method using qualitative methods, all existing data were analyzed using interviews, observation, and documentation.

Quality of life: The role of tourism and renewable energy
Authors: Stamatiou Pavlos
Published: December 2023

The present research examines the effects of tourism (TOUR) and renewable energy consumption (REC) on quality of life (QoL) using a multivariate panel regression model. The model incorporates trade openness (TO) and urbanization (URB) as additional variables. The analysis focuses on the top 10 nations that receive the highest number of international visitors. The data sample used is comprised of annual observations during the period from 1995-2018. This paper adopts the assumption of cross-sectional independence and addresses cross-sectional heterogeneity by employing the second-generation econometric approach for panel data analysis. The results indicate that all variables exhibit long-run integration. The variables TOUR, REC, TO, and URB exhibit a statistically significant impact on the quality of life (QoL). The outcome clearly claims that TOUR, REC, TO, and URB have the potential to improve QoL. Findings also support bidirectional causalities between tourism and quality of life, renewable energy consumption and quality of life, trade openness and quality of life, urbanisation and quality of life, urbanisation and trade openness, as well as urbanisation and tourism. Moreover, the analysis reveals the presence of unidirectional causal relationships originating from the variable REC and directed towards the variables TOUR, TO, REC, and URB. The outcome is useful for policymakers in order to develop better energy-tourism plans for long-term economic success, which in turn will enhance life quality. The results could potentially be restricted by the QoL index. In this study, the QoL index is measured according to human development indicators, including life expectancy. Alternative measurements include access to knowledge and the purchasing power of the people. With a focus on the 10 most-visited countries in the world, this paper aims to contribute to the existing literature on the macroeconomic determinants of economic growth and its implications for life quality, with a specific focus on the 10 most-visited nations globally.

Authors: Tamanna R J , Hoque S J , Pasha F M
Published: December 2023

Background: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is an Echocardiographic measure that allows us to assess right ventricular systolic function and  it correlates well with reference techniques like Cardiac Magnetic Resonance  Imaging. TAPSE measurement is common in adults.
Objective: Our objective was to determine values of TAPSE in Bangladeshi adults with or without LV systolic dysfunction and to determine the relationship of these values with age, sex, RVIDd, LVEF & EPSS.
Method: This was an   prospective observational study in patients undergoing comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography for any indication. From April  2022  to  April  2023 we prospectively enrolled 100 adult  (from 30 to age 80 years) of both sexes who presented to the Cardiology Clinic of  LABAID Cardiac  Hospital. We performed a complete transthoracic echocardiography  study. We measured TAPSE in 2-dimensional M-mode echocardiograms from the apical  4- chamber view, positioning the cursor on the lateral tricuspid annulus near the free RV wall and aligning it as close as possible to the apex of the heart . The mean values were taken by at least 2 measurements for reducing interobserver and intraobserver   variability’s.  Patients with confirmed congenital & valvular heart disease were excluded.
Results: Mean TAPSE values were 19.15±3.87cm irrespective of LVEF, with no significant differences between sexes,  18.45±3.801  in male , 19.94±3.853 in female (P=.056).   TAPSE value was 22.00±1.581 in person with normal LVEF & 16.77±2.455 in person with reduced LVEF ( P<.001) A statistically significant positive correlation of LVEF (r=.813) and significant negative correlation of EPSS (r=-.639) were observed with TAPSE (p<0.001). But no significant correlation of TAPSE was found between age (r=-.185)). ), gender (r=.192) & RVIDd (r= -.063) (p >0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed these correlations and the interactions between variables (LVEF & EPSS).  Graphs of estimated population-based TAPSE values adjusted by age and LV function are provided.
Conclusion: We determined values of TAPSE in Bangladeshi adult population with or without LV systolic dysfunction and assessed relationship of these values with age, sex, RVIDd, LVEF & EPSS.  The TAPSE measurement was reproducible and associated directly with LV systolic function. These reference values could guide decision making in daily clinical practice.

Authors: Mamun Abdullah Al , Hosain Nazmul , Amin Farzana
Published: December 2023

Carotid arteries are the major supply to the head, neck and brain.  The right common carotid artery usually originates from the brachiocephalic artery while the left common carotid artery arises as a direct branch of the arch of the aorta. Common carotid arteries bifurcate at the level of the carotid sinus into the internal carotid artery, which supplies the brain, and the external carotid artery. Approximately 15–20% of the cardiac output is distributed to the brain in healthy adults under resting conditions. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. US 2017 statistics shows that cerebrovascular disease or Stroke alone ranked fifth for males but fourth for females. Ultrasonography can measure the velocity of blood flow in the Carotid system of arteries. A total 139 patients, who underwent Carotid Duplex study between July 2021 and June 2022 were included in this cross-sectional study. The criteria for exclusion included age less than 13 years, presence of associated peripheral vascular diseases, hemodynamically unstable patients, incomplete data collection and patient’s reluctance to join the study. Data analysis was performed using MS Office Excel. The Peak systolic velocity and the End diastolic velocity were measured at four levels, namely the Common carotid arteries and the Internal carotid arteries on the right and the left sides. No significant difference was observed in the Peak systolic velocity and the End diastolic velocity in either Common carotid or the internal carotid arteries between the right and left sides. Moreover, these findings were similar both in age groups above and below 50 years of age.

Background: Vaccination may positively influence the clinical outcome of corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients. But there is a lack of data regarding efficacy of vaccine against COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to compare the baseline characteristics, clinical profiles, and outcomes of COVID-19 infection in vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients in Bangladesh in the second wave.
Methods: This single centre prospective observational cohort study was carried out at National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute from 27th February 2021 to 25th September, 2021 during the second wave. All COVID-positive patients & cardiac patients who became COVID-19 positive during the period of admission were included in this study for comparison.
Results: A total of 858 patients were included. Most patients in the second were unvaccinated (n= 691, 80.5%), while of the 167 individuals who were vaccinated, 125 (14.6%) patients were partially vaccinated while 42 (4.9%) were fully vaccinated. The mean age of the unvaccinated patients was 52.63±16.4 years, partially vaccinated patients was 39.74±14.88 years, and fully vaccinated patients was 50.55 ± 12.48 years (p=0.001). Male were predominant in all groups. In the unvaccinated (98.4% vs 1.6%; p=0.001) and fully vaccinated (81% vs 19%; p=0.001) groups non healthcare personnel (non-HCP) were most commonly affected. Most of the patients (48.7%) in unvaccinated group had ≥4 co-morbidities, while in partially- (51.2%) and fully vaccinated (54.7%) groups most of the patients had <4 co-morbidities (p=0.001). In unvaccinated group asymptomatic & severe disease (11.4% vs 7.2% vs 2.4%; p=0.001) were more prevalent than partially- and fully vaccinated group (table 3). Mortality rate was significantly higher in unvaccinated group than partially vaccinated group (6.2% vs 0.8%; p=0.001). There was no death in fully vaccinated group.
Conclusion:Unvaccinated individuals were more prone to COVID-19 infection. Most of the patients in unvaccinated group had ≥4 co-morbidities. In unvaccinated group asymptomatic & severe disease were more prevalent than partially- and fully vaccinated group. Mortality rate was high in unvaccinated group.

Introduction: Chronic venous disease (CVD) is widespread, underdiagnosed, and can progress to chronic venous insufficiency and venous ulcer, which can require extensive treatment. This condition negatively impacts patient quality of life and places substantial burdens on healthcare resources. In Bangladesh this problem is increasing with very poor awareness.
Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study was carried out in department of vascular surgery of National Institute of Cardiovascular disease. We randomly choose 180 patients with chonic venous disease (CVD) and evaluate their characteristics and prevalence of several types. Data collection started from May 2021 for next 6 months.
Results: The patients of this survey were aged between 24 to 70 years and the Mean±SD age was 43.6±12.2. 78.3% of total study population were male, 33.3% were businessmen and 10% were housewife. 66.6% patients were having low socio-economic conditions. C2 varicose veins were highly prevalent among the study population (35%) & lowest prevalence of C4b lipodermatosclerosis or atrophie blanche (11.7%) we have seen in the study. (31- 40) & (51-60) these two age group were more prone to have CVD, 28.33% (n51) & 26.67% (n48) (p <0.001*) respectively. Male were predominantly more prevalent to having CVD, 78.33% (n141), (p <0.001).
Conclusion: Patients having CVD, invariably presented with the complains of heaviness of leg and unexplained leg swelling and Varicose vein were highly prevalent irrespective of sex. Advanced stages are more common in male patients. In every age group were having different stages of CVD. More awareness can help patients to get proper management and relief from chronic venous disease.

Receiving a Response Image of a Solar Cell Efficiency by the Photo Scanning Method
Authors: Levchenko Roman V.
Published: December 2023

The device for quality analysis of solar cells with different sensitive surface areas using radiation from a non-mechanical planar system is described. Current solutions for quality analysis of solar cells have disadvantages: work with analogy data, large dimensions of mechanical focusing system, interaction with small areas active zone of solar cells without possibility of identifying point pattern efficiency. Accordingly, a method is proposed for measuring the efficiency of solar cells at the production stage and during the operational period, which makes it possible to identify places of its insensitivity with the possibility of obtaining quantitative data on efficiency for the purpose of their mathematical processing. The developed photo scanning control device can be suitable for solar cells diagnostics with a sensitive zone area from 9 mm2 to A5 sheet size. The method makes it possible to measure local photocurrent and to find places of solar cell shunting.
Process of diagnostics is controlled by one personal computer, which performs functions of controlling illumination of a monitor, setting diagnostic modes, obtaining data on the efficiency of the solar cells, storing and processing them. The device can be based on a laptop and is considered as mobile. Special software is used to manage, visualize and process the output data in a form of a rectangular matrix. An experiment was carried out on artificial darkening of the working areas of solar cells of different sensitivity. This confirmed effect of data changes and a visual display of obscuring zone on the output results. Tests were carried out on solar cells based on polycrystalline silicon. The results showed a high level of visibility and repeatability of the darkened area, and the quality of the data obtained made it possible to identify a small measurement error associated with external “noise”.

Published: December 2023

The aspects of measurement and presentation of radiation parameters of germicidal lamps, including radiant flux within the set spectral range, are under consideration. Radiant flux is currently used as their main parameter. There are the following methods of measurement of this parameter: indirect, by means of irradiance from the lamps, goniometric, and the integrating sphere method. The goal of the work was to compare the results of measurement of germicidal lamps using different methods and to analyse the practice of presentation of germicidal lamp parameters. TUV, HNS, LTC, DB, DKB and DKBU germicidal lamps and irradiators with different power capacity and peak radiation in the mercury line 253.7 nm were selected as the measurement objects and such parameters as radiant flux, germicidal flux, and radiant flux stabilisation time were selected as assessed parameters. The measurements were made and the values of radiant flux and germicidal flux, using the indirect and goniometric methods, were obtained. The graphs of radiant flux stabilisation of different lamps are presented. The analysis of the measurements demonstrated necessity of modification of the approaches to measurement and presentation of the germicidal lamp parameters.
