A Primary Care Provider’s Guide to Pain After Spinal Cord Injury: Screening and Management
Authors: Varghese Jithin , Anderson Kim D. , Widerström-Noga Eva , Mehan Upender
Published: November 2020

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often experience chronic pain as a secondary complication. It can significantly impair mental health, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. It is important for providers within a primary care setting to recognize the different types of pain such as nociceptive and neuropathic. Various assessment tools are available to guide proper classification and subsequent management. Providers need to have a good knowledge base, structure, and patient focus when managing care. Nonpharmacological interventions are just as important and should be explored prior to or along with pharmacological interventions. Treatment modalities such as physical therapy, exercise, acupuncture, and cognitive behavioral therapy should be tailored to the individual to the greatest extent possible. Gabapentin, pregabalin, and amitriptyline have been studied extensively and are the first-line pharmacological agents for neuropathic pain. It is important to involve patients as equal stakeholders in any pain intervention with adequate lifelong follow-up. The aim of this article is to offer an overview of pain assessment, information, patient interaction, and treatment options available. Although chronic pain has remained difficult to treat successfully, primary care providers can play an integral role in delivering evidence-based and patient-centered care for managing chronic pain among individuals with SCI.

The collaboration with individuals regarding their sexual health is an important component of patient-centered health care. However, talking about sexual health in primary care settings is an area not fully addressed as a result of time limitations, medical task prioritization, awareness or knowledge deficit, and discomfort with the topic of sexuality. A critical shift in professional focus from disease and medical illness to the promotion of health and wellness is a prerequisite to address sexual health in the primary care setting. This article provides guidance for practitioners in primary care settings who are caring for persons with spinal cord injury. Clinicians should seize the opportunity during the encounter to reframe the experience of disability as a social construct status, moving away from the narrow view of medical condition and “find it, fix it” to a broader understanding that provides increased access to care for sexual health and sexual pleasure.
A Primary Care Provider’s Guide to Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Durney Philip , Stillman Michael , Montero Wilda , Goetz Lance
Published: November 2020

Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in several ways, most notably by causing impairment of colonic motility and sphincter dysfunction. Altered GI function in the setting of neurological injury—also known as “neurogenic bowel dysfunction” (NBD) —strongly impacts the quality of life (QOL) of individuals living with SCI. Characterizing the severity of NBD, its impact on an individual’s QOL, and which interventions have been successful or ineffective is integral to the routine care of people living with SCI. Treatment of NBD is generally multimodal and includes attention to diet, pharmacologic and mechanical stimulation, and possibly surgery. This article discusses the pathophysiology of NBD and specific approaches to its management.
Learning about Sustainable Development Goals through English Language Teaching
Authors: Bekteshi Edita , Xhaferi Brikena
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of Sustainable Development (SD) and its goals to the students of the Faculty of Education, future teachers, in order to become skilled and knowledgeable and then introduce these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to their students. As such, this study tries to link the concept of English Language Learning (ELL), English Language Teaching (ELT), and the SDGs as a type of all-inclusiveness within the “3 Ps”: Planet, People, and Profit. The instrument used for the purpose of this study was an online questionnaire sent to the students of the Faculty of Education in Kosovo. The total number of participants was 89. The students’ responses revealed that 60 percent of the future teachers are aware of the SD concept; however, the results indicate that not all “3 Ps” are hit upon by the future teachers. Based on the results, the most common areas of interest and societal needs of learning about SDGs are related to education, gender equality, good health and well-being, alleviation of poverty, and decent work and economics. These same goals are also hit upon in ELT classes. The study concludes that Kosovo’s future teachers are more concerned about issues related to social issues—“P-People”—followed by goals related to “P-Profit,” while goals related to “P-Planet,” the environment, are left behind. Future teachers’ knowledge about SDGs is vital, for there is a significant direct impact of learning about specific SDGs in higher education institutions, and the application of SDG topics in English language classes can infuse the SD concepts.
International Student Migration and Polymedia: The Use of Communication Media by Bangladeshi Students in Germany
Authors: Masud Md Matiul Hoque
Published: November 2020

Tertiary-level students from Bangladesh usually migrate to Germany for the purpose of higher studies. These international student migrants use communication media to maintain connections with family members and friends in Bangladesh and social networks with friends, classmates, and Bangladeshi community members in Germany. Drawing on the experiences of Bangladeshi student migrants in Germany and using polymedia theory, this paper investigates how the migrant students use the polymedia environment to maintain the transnational social networks and connections. This paper is based on qualitative data derived from 18 in-depth interviews with Bangladeshi migrant students in Germany. Findings suggest that using the polymedia environment, Bachelor migrant students receive emotional support from their family members back home, while Masters and PhD students are responsible for providing emotional and practical support to their left-behind families, relatives, and friends. Migrant students’ media usage with families and friends living in Bangladesh is influenced by their marital status and gender as well as their familial and social structure in Bangladesh. Their use of communication media with the members of the Bangladeshi community and foreign classmates living in Germany is comparatively less frequent and more education-oriented.

Authors: Shahnawaz Ahmad, Nazim Ali Khan and Shabana Mehfuz
Published: November 2020

Introduction: The COVID-19, Coronavirus Disease 2019, emerged as a hazardous disease that led
manycausalities across the world. Maintaining physical distancing, a critical task with minimum trips has
become ahot trend nowadays. To keep up with patient care amidst an international crisis that is exhausting
online
healthcare resources, physical distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic has brought telemonitoring to
theforefront. Physical distancing measures are of utmost importance for understanding and managing
health-relatedconcerns resulting.
Objectives: To describe and analyze the impact, challenges, and solutions of Coronavirus on daily life
andlivingassociated with cloud based telemonitoring during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: We presented a cloud-based communication assistant for the treatment of any customers
withrecommender systems. Proposed Cloud-Based Communication Assistant (CBCA) aims first to identify
thecustomer's query and then based on his/her need to provide better assistant at home. It categorized the
customer’squery based on questionnaires. As customer register themselves online on the CBSCA in real time,
it createsthe database for the same.
Results: This database helps to improve communication accuracy as it contains latest updates from
realworldcases data. A team of shopkeepers, vendors, consultants are integrated with the CBCA for better
consultationand prevention.
Conclusion: The ultimate aim of this proposed theory of CBCA is to take a control over unnecessary trips
anddeaccelerate its rate of transmission among the society. Widespread adoption of telemonitoring-favoring
policies are necessary and mostly needed to address mental health problems that may arise in areas of high
infection and death rates.
PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF QUERCETIN-LOADED LIPOSOMES PREPARED BY SONICATION FOR FUNCTIONAL FOOD APPLICATION
Authors:   Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, RAMLI NUR AMALINA , ALI NORA’AINI , HAMZAH SOFIAH
Published: November 2020

This research was intended to synthesize liposome as a nanocarrier to encapsulate quercetin, which is prone to degradation and susceptible to low bioavailability upon oral administration. The liposomes were synthesized by thin-film hydration method and followed by probe sonication for downsizing. Soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and cholesterol (CHOL) were employed as the composition of the phospholipid bilayer. Results indicated a dependence of sonication amplitude and time in the formation of free liposomes (FL). The average size of quercetin-loaded liposomes (QL) prepared was 346.4 nm with a narrow polydispersity index (0.22) and a high magnitude of zeta potential (-49.6 mV). These characterizations depict that a homogenous nanovesicle suspension with high stability was successfully synthesized. Quercetin was incorporated into the liposomes with a high encapsulation efficiency of 90.7% and loading capacity of 9.3%. This viable nanocarrier perhaps will provide ingenious protection for a wider spectrum of active agents in food and biopharmaceutical products.

Authors:   Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, RUSIL MOHD UZAIR , CHEN GUANNAN , BOOTH DAVID , LEI JUAN
Published: November 2020

Excessive sea turtle nest predation is a problem for conservation management of sea turtle populations. For green turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting at Chagar Hutang beach, Redang Island in Malaysia, Asian water monitor lizards (Varanus salvator) are nest predator. To help deter water monitors from attacking nest, plastic mesh is placed on top of sea turtle nests, although this is not always successful in preventing predation. Due to human food waste is frequently dumped near sea turtle nesting area, no studies have documented the if Asian water monitor lizards are attracted by human food waste at Chagar Hutang beach. This study assessed the prevalence of Asian water monitors on the sea turtle nesting beach using passive track-count plots (2×1m) every 50 m along the beach 5-10 m above the high tide mark in the area used by sea turtles to construct their nests. Results indicated Asian water monitors were the only vertebrate nest predator at Chagar Hutang and were widely distributed along the beach and had a Passive Activity Index (PAI) of 1.25. The stomach contents of 20 Asian water monitors were examined by stomach flushing, and 76.8% of stomach contents were human food wastes, 21.2% were turtle egg and hatchling and only 1% were from other natural food sources. This study suggests human food waste attract Asian water monitor to Chagar Hutang beach and that this may result in water monitors visiting sea turtle nests at a higher rate compared to a situation if human food waste was not available.

Published: November 2020

Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) Basic Training (BT) is mandatory for every seafarer before starting to work on board merchant ships. The knowledge, attitude, and behaviour (KAB) theory explains that knowledge enhances one’s attitude, thus leading to improved behaviour. Accordingly, this study determined the effects of BT on seafarers’ shipboard safety KAB. The process commenced by ascertaining whether the BT course offered in the Maritime Institutes was on par with BT contents provided by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). For data collection and filtration purposes, the factors, filtering elements, and filtered model (FFF model) were utilised to measure safety education and KAB. Following this, a measurable questionnaire was developed for this particular study survey. The data collected were then analysed by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), which involved the use of SPSS and AMOS SPSS. Essentially, data obtained from the respondents successfully established the impacts of BT on the KAB, which revealed its role in improving the seafarers’ KAB. Therefore, the factors identified in this study are expected to be utilised in maritime institutions as BT syllabus incorporates domains aimed to instil the right attitudes among seafarers.

Control percibido, emociones y experiencias satisfactorias
Authors: Lozada Cantorán Cindy , Ortíz Nicolás Juan Carlos , Cortés López Erika Marlene
Published: November 2020

Basado en la importancia de la satisfacción de necesidades psicológicas humanas, tales como el control percibido, este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la relación entre el nivel de control percibido del usuario y las diferentes emociones experimentadas durante la interacción con un objeto. De forma tal que los resultados obtenidos aporten información para futuros diseños de productos basados en la satisfacción del usuario y sus necesidades psicológicas. El control percibido está íntimamente relacionado con la satisfacción del usuario y esta puede ser interpretada a partir de las emociones experimentadas durante la interacción. Quizás no es posible identificar cada uno de los factores que influyen el nivel de control percibido que se experimenta en la interacción entre persona y producto, pero sí lo es determinar los factores que detonan emociones específicas y que están ligadas con el control percibido y la satisfacción del usuario.

but at the same time, the future of sharing platforms and the difficulty of competition
is a concern as more platform companies become involved and prices become more
transparent. Under this circumstance, optimizing product pricing has become an
urgent need for many sharing economy platforms. In this paper, we take Airbnb as
the starting point and conduct an empirical analysis of the blocking behavior of
homeowners based on proprietary data to explore the factors that affect their product
supply. We find that price, number of beds, and listing type all have a significant
impact on blocking houses. After that, we conducted further research on price
factors and developed a model aiming at profit maximization to obtain the best
pricing range for the region and provide suggestions for pricing strategies.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar efectos potenciales en la introducción del sistema de advertencias al consumidor basado en “octógonos” en el consumo de alimentos procesados excesivos en nutrientes. La investigación es de tipo no experimental y transversal.se uso la encuesta como técnica, aplicando un cuestionario a  población de 15 a 64 años provenientes de los cinco distritos más poblados de la provincia de Tacna: Coronel Gregorio Albarracín, Tacna, Alto de la Alianza, Ciudad Nueva y Pocollay. Para el procesamiento y analistas de datos se aplicó el procedimiento de “Tablas cruzadas” y “Chi – Cuadrado”. Los resultados indican que los “Panes y productos horneados” son los alimentos excesivos en nutrientes que más consume la población tacneña. La mayor parte de los encuestados desconoce la Ley de Promoción de la Alimentación Saludable para Niños, Niñas y Adolescentes N° 30021, por lo que un porcentaje elevado de esta asegura que generará un impacto positivo en la población, estando en “Total acuerdo” respecto al uso de rótulos octogonales y entendiendo mejor el etiquetado de octógonos. Se concluye que el sistema de advertencias al consumidor basado en octógonos genera efectos, tanto positivos como negativos en los hábitos de consumo de alimentos procesados excesivos en nutrientes críticos

Thuật ngữ oxy hóa qua màng ngoài cơ thể (Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation – ECMO) vốn được sử dụng để mô tả quá trình hỗ trợ cơ học chức năng oxy hóa bên ngoài cơ thể trong một khoảng thời gian kéo dài. Sau đó, ở một số bệnh nhân, nhằm nêu bật mục đích loại thải CO2 nên người ta đã sử dụng thuật ngữ là quá trình loại thải CO2 ngoài cơ thể (Extra-Corporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal). Kỹ thuật hỗ trợ bên ngoài cơ thể sau này được sử dụng nhằm hỗ trợ cho các bệnh nhân sau mổ tim là chủ yếu. Sự cải thiện mức độ tương hợp sinh học các nguyên vật liệu sử dụng trong nhiều năm qua đã góp phần quan trọng nâng cao hiệu quả của kỹ thuật ECMO và các thầy thuốc đã xem ECMO như là phương thức cứu sống và là phương tiện để hỗ trợ các tạng trong cơ thể. Ngoài ra, những ứng dụng công nghệ điện tử trong kết cấu của hệ thống ECMO đã làm xuất hiện thêm một thuật ngữ mới là kỹ thuật hỗ trợ chức năng sống bên ngoài cơ thể (Extra-Corporeal Life Support ECLS), và đây cũng là thuật ngữ được ưa chuộng để nêu bật tính công nghệ của kỹ thuật này.
