Prevalence of Anxiety Disorder and Associated Factors among Voluntary Counseling and HIV Testing Clients at Governmental Health Centers in 2017 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Dirriba Abdissa Boka
Published: September 2021

Objective: More than 450 million people are considered to be suffered from mental problem in the world nowadays. In Ethiopia, these problems constitute for 12.45% of the impact of diseases and around 12% of individuals are estimated to be develop any form of mental problems, of which 2% are severe cases. One of the most psychiatric problem that cause substantial functional impairment and suffering is anxiety disorders.
To assess the prevalence of anxiety disorder and associated factors among voluntary counseling and HIV testing (VCT) clients of Addis Ababa governmental health centers, Ethiopia, 2017.
Method: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted at Addis Ababa governmental health centers from February 15 to March 10, 2017. A Cluster sampling technique was used and 770 study participants were interviewed. Data were entered into EPI INFO version 2002 and transferred to SPSS version 19.0 windows and was analyzed. The logistic regression of analyses was used.
Results: The prevalence of anxiety disorder among VCT clients was 39.2%. Factors that statistically significant with an anxiety disorder: fear of stigma or social discrimination (AOR = 3.01, 95%CI: 1.67, 5.42), history of haven’t been tested before for HIV (AOR = 3.97, 95%CI: 2.32, 6.81), and fear of having a positive result (AOR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.55, 4.36); the burden of family size was marginally significant at 0.05 level of significance (P = 0.075).
Conclusion: The prevalence of anxiety problems among voluntary counseling and HIV testing clients of Addis Ababa governmental health centers was high. Fear of stigma, fear of having a positive result, and no history of a test before were the most factors associated with anxiety disorders. I recommended that increasing awareness in reducing stigma/discrimination, appropriate psychiatry counseling for individuals and community at the health center, and Addis Ababa Health Bureau should be arranged.

Published: September 2021

Objective: It has been shown that clinical practice may be a risk factor for job burnout. On the other hand, annual income may have a protective effect on job burnout. Clinical faculty in contrast to basic sciences faculty members have higher income but are involve in clinical practice. Comparison between these two groups can clarify which factors have greater influence on burnout. As a second aim for this study, reliability and validity of the Persian version of Maslach burnout inventory general survey (MBI-GS) were evaluated as well.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Shiraz Medical School in Iran and a total of 241 faculty members were randomly selected and burnout was measured by the Persian version of the Maslach burnout inventory general survey (MBI-GS).
Results: Comparison of burnout between the two groups indicated that clinical faculty showed significantly higher scores in the exhaustion dimension compared to the basic sciences faculty (p value = 0.017) but no significant differences were found between the two groups in other dimensions. Job satisfaction and income satisfaction were negatively correlated with exhaustion and cynicism dimensions, and job satisfaction was positively associated with professional efficacy (p value > 0.05).
Internal consistency of the questionnaire was acceptable (α=0.77). Scaling success rate for discrimination and convergent validity were 100% except for convergent validity in the cynicism subscale. Correlation of all questions with their dimensions was equal to or more than 0.4 with the exception of item 13 in the cynicism subscale.
Conclusion: Clinical faculty had higher burnout than basic sciences faculty especially in the exhaustion dimension. It has also been shown that income and job satisfaction are the most important factors which can predict professional burnout in medical faculty members. It is important for administrative and organizational decision makers to improve job engagement and decrease job abandonment. This study largely confirmed the 3-dimensional structure of the Persian version of MBI-GS.

Published: September 2021

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the factor structure, validity, and reliability of the revised Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (ROCI), with emphasis on Iranian culture.
Method: The statistical sample consisted of 341 married students studying in Tehran universities in the academic year 2018-2019, who were selected by available sampling method. The New ROCI, Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), and Relationship beliefs inventory (RBI) were the tools of the present study.
Results: The Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of the new ROCI were good. Also, there was a significant and negative correlation between all subscales and the total score of the new ROCI with all subscales and the total score of the DAS, and there was also a significant positive correlation between the subscales and the total score of the new ROCI with the subscales and the total score of OBQ, OCI-R, RBI, and DASS. Also, the two factor model explained 54.50% of the variance in the new ROCI. Furthermore, all of the confirmatory factor analysis indices of the new ROCI were better than the original ROCI. The results of test-retest correlation of the factor one and two of ROCI were 0.85 and 0.78, respectively. Also, the Cronbach's alpha of the factor one and two of ROCI were 0.60 and 0.74, respectively.
Conclusion: In general, it can be said that the new ROCI was different from the original ROCI, and the new ROCI had better indicators than the original ROCI.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Recognizing the status of mental health literacy among women and girls as effective and key individuals in family and society seem to be essential. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate depression literacy among women and girls in Tehran on prevention and effective interventions for improving depression.
Method: This study was part of a large mental health literacy project on residents of Tehran in 2017, with a sample size of 1023 girls and women aged 16-68 years. Random Digit Dialing (RDD) sampling was done using the Australian questionnaire, whose Persian version’s validity and reliability was tested in our previous study. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 software. In order to determine the effect of demographic variables on predicting depression literacy among participants, multiple regression analysis was performed.
Results: Receiving counseling, relaxation training, having physical activity, and studying self-help books were the most helpful items, respectively, from the participations’ point of view. More than 70% of participants agreed with avoiding stressful situations and close relationship with family and friends, while only 49.8% agreed with coping skills learning. Based on the regression analysis, only higher education and the history of exposure to a person with similar Vignette problem were able to predict mental health literacy in the area of intervention and prevention.
Conclusion: Considering the effects of women’s and girls’ depression on individual, family, and even social life, more attention should be paid to improve depression literacy in this group.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Internet addiction has become a major problem worldwide, especially for adolescents. Adolescents are considered vulnerable and at risk of internet addiction due to the immature self-control, easy access, and flexible schedule. Parenting style has a significant influence on the incidence of internet addiction in adolescents. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between paternal and maternal parenting style toward internet addiction level of adolescents at one of junior high Schools in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 114 adolescents (44 boys and 70 girls) aged ranging from 12 to 15 in a junior high school in Surabaya, Indonesia, were recruited by stratified random sampling method in November 2019. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) were used to measure internet addiction level, and maternal and paternal parenting style of adolescents. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests with IBM SPSS Statistics 25 to adjust the relationship between paternal and maternal parenting style toward internet addiction level of adolescents.
Results: a total of 77.2% of adolescents were internet addicts and the majority experienced ‘mild’ internet addiction level (52.60%). Furthermore, the Pearson correlation results indicated that paternal permissive and authoritarian parenting styles were positively correlated with internet addiction level of adolescents. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that paternal permissive parenting style significantly predicted adolescents’ internet addiction level.
Conclusion: This study highlighted the significant role of paternal permissive and authoritarian parenting styles among adolescents’ internet addiction.
The Community Action Program Works to Improve Mental Health at the District Level: The Evaluation of the Community Action Program in Districts of Iran
Authors: Damari Behzad , Sharifi Vandad , Asgardoon Mohammad Hossein , Hajebi Ahmad
Published: September 2021

Objective: Three categories of interventions are considered for reducing the prevalence of mental disorders in Iran: mental health promotion, increasing mental health and social service utilization and controlling mental health risk factors. In this regard, we designed a community action program in a national plan to provide comprehensive social and mental health services (SERAJ) that were implemented as a pilot in three districts of Iran: Bardasir, Oslo, and Quchan. In this study, we have reviewed the results of this pilot project.
Method: This study was conducted based on the collaborative evaluation model; first, the program was described and the evaluation indicators of each component of the program were determined. Stakeholders were determined; also, data were collected through literature review, semi-structured interview, and focused group discussion and were analyzed by thematic analysis methods.
Results: The community action program consists of four components: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the departments of the districts, People’s Participation House (PPH), Self-reliance Unit (SRU), and actions taken for stigma reduction. A total of 48% of the actions set out in the three MoU of three districts have been executed. The PPH was formed in all three districts. A total of 816 social referrals were admitted to SRU for which a self-reliance process has been initiated. Moreover, 47% of referrals have received services and at least 10 messages for stigma reduction and promoting mental disorders have been sent from different sources at the district level.
Conclusion: Strengthening vertical cooperation between the national and provincial levels is essential for the full implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and self-reliance processes. Referring individuals for receiving social support with collaboration between the primary and secondary programs reported to be successful, but feedback to the primary and secondary levels which provides basic and specialized services, is not transparent. Therefore, we suggest an electronic system as an option to solve this problem. The careful selection of representatives of the people's network and empowerment of PPH and directors of the district on community action skills are essential. The experiences of the governors and chairs of health networks of the three districts should be presented at a national conference.
Dissociative Disorder in the Iranian Culture: The Lawless Utopia
Authors: Seddigh Ruohollah
Published: September 2021

Epidemiologic and etiological studies of dissociative disorders are a challenging area in psychiatry. These challenges become more complex when noting that the existing theories cannot explain the differences observed in certain cases; for example, studies in Iran have reported the prevalence of dissociative disorders (dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, and depersonalization disorder) as less than 0.6%, and there has been no reported case of dissociative identity disorder (DID) in this country; meanwhile, the prevalence of all dissociative disorders in the general population of the US has been reported as 18.3%, and the prevalence of DID as about 1.1%. Although several studies indicate the high prevalence of dissociative symptoms in many Iranian psychiatric illnesses, dissociative disorders as a stand-alone disorder have a very low prevalence in Iran. The present article attempts to propose a possible hypothesis for the answer to the above questions through a different cultural conceptualization and seeks to be of some help to future studies in this area. Certainly, this hypothesis requires a careful study to be validated.

Charging the Budget of the City Wroclaw With Urbanisation Costs (Poland)
Authors: Heldak Maria
Published: September 2021

The paper deals with the issue of charging local authorities with the costs of realisation of the provisions contained in local spatial development plans in Wrocław (Poland). Considering the planned spatial development in the area of the city Wrocław, the urbanisation costs that are chargeable to the municipality budget were identified. The economic effects of preparing areas designated for development in the residential programme offer were analysed. The paper provides an analysis of the cost of realisation of investments that belong to own duties of the municipality, including the cost of building municipality roads, sewage and water supply networks, arranging public greenery and purchasing land for public investments.

The analyses were performed within the administrative borders of the city.  The prognosed costs of the realisation of local spatial development plans demonstrate significant expenditure that Wrocław has to incur for the construction of sewage network and municipal roads. Additionally, the development of new areas will require the city of Wrocław to take over the real properties on which public goals are planned to be realised. One should thoroughly consider the actual need for new investment areas in the city. Demographic forecasts demonstrate that the areas designated for development significantly exceed the demand.
Rincones etéreos. Apuntes sobre la naturaleza fenoménica del espacio arquitectónico doméstico en la Lima urbana virreinal (1746-1790)
Authors: García Ochoa Alejandro
Published: September 2021

En el epílogo del virreinato del Perú, el período comprendido entre 1746 y 1790 significó para la arquitectura doméstica limeña el momento de mayor complejidad en su configuración espacial tras la experiencia del terremoto que azotó a la ciudad y el nuevo estilo de vida de salón y tertulia heredado de las costumbres borbónicas importadas desde el Reino de España. En este marco, el artículo propone aprehender la relación entre la naturaleza de la atmósfera del espacio doméstico virreinal y la constitución física de este, apoyándose en el análisis arquitectónico así como en testimonios históricos y memorias. El texto sostiene que existió un estrecho vínculo entre la arquitectura doméstica virreinal limeña, las cuestiones fenoménicas ligadas a la percepción sensorial que supone su habitación y la forma de vida, costumbres y carácter específicos de quienes la experimentaron. De esta manera, el análisis surge de la escisión entre un rígido estudio desde la disciplina arquitectónica y otro histórico o testimonial, oportunidad pertinente para enriquecer la reflexión contemporánea sobre el espacio doméstico limeño.

Published: September 2021

El acervo cultural del Perú contempla un variado registro de bienes inmuebles acumulado en las distintas etapas de desarrollo del país. Un amplio grupo de estos exponentes, denominado patrimonio industrial, se halla en un franco estado de deterioro debido al desconocimiento de su relevancia. Algunos edificios representativos de este conjunto son las estaciones del Ferrocarril Central del Perú, todavía vigentes en uso e integridad. El estudio se articula alrededor de la evaluación del estado actual de estos edificios en su dimensión arquitectónica y, complementariamente, en la revisión de las relaciones con su contexto urbano inmediato. Se han seleccionado las estaciones del Callao, Vitarte y Monserrate, por su envergadura arquitectónica e importancia para la ciudad. El análisis de estos inmuebles se lleva a cabo a través de la revisión de documentos técnicos actuales, la comparación histórica y el estudio de la realidad física de cada edificio.
Ideales versus realidades. Tres ciudades universitarias en Lima a mediados del siglo XX
Authors: Takano Reyes Valeria
Published: September 2021

El presente artículo aborda el estudio de las ciudades universitarias en Lima a mediados del siglo XX; en específico, tres casos de estudio importantes para la idiosincrasia y configuración de la ciudad: la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM), la Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI) y la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM). La ciudad universitaria como proyecto moderno simboliza el anhelo por el desarrollo de una ciudad en crecimiento como Lima. La identificación de sus modelos urbanísticos y arquitectónicos, situados en un lugar de implantación determinado según condicionantes políticos, económicos y culturales, cada uno particular, revaloriza el concepto de «ciudad universitaria» en la historia del modernismo en el Perú. Así también, da pie a la reflexión sobre el papel de la ciudad universitaria y sus implicancias en la estructura urbana de la ciudad.
Mar de joyas escondidas Conjuntos habitacionales desarrollados por la Junta de Obras Públicas del Callao durante el ochenio de Odría
Authors: Chiri Zapata Pietro
Published: September 2021

La Junta Militar de Gobierno del general Manuel Odría (1948-1956) marcó un proceso acelerado de programas de obras públicas para nuevos beneficios sociales de modernidad y progreso. Ello se materializó en el puerto del Callao con la creación de la Junta de Obras Públicas (JOPC), instaurada por el Decreto Ley 11008. En este artículo se analizan los primeros proyectos de vivienda colectiva experimental promovidos por la JOPC con el fin de establecer un «Nuevo Callao» bajo los lineamientos del discurso gubernamental. El análisis atraviesa múltiples escalas, desde políticas nacionales de vivienda y el Plan Regulador de la provincia del Callao, hasta tres conjuntos habitacionales (Unidad Modelo, Unidad La Perla y Unidad Vecinal Santa Marina), incluido el estudio de sus tipologías y unidades de vivienda.
La reconstrucción de lo cotidiano. Estudios de vivienda de familias desplazadas durante el período de violencia política y social en la ciudad de Lima, 1980-2020
Authors: Salinas Colunche Joselyn
Published: September 2021

El Perú vivió entre 1980 y 2000 un período de violencia política ocasionado por un conflicto armado interno. El éxodo masivo provocado por la violencia política generó uno de los procesos migratorios más grandes en la historia del país. La Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (CVR 2003) estima que, durante el conflicto armado interno, aproximadamente seiscientas mil personas se desplazaron desde sus lugares de origen hacia áreas urbanas, principalmente capitales departamentales; entre estas, Lima. Tras el abandono del lugar de origen, la nueva vivienda y su ámbito condicionan y contribuyen al proceso de reinserción social de quienes la habitan. Con la difícil condición del desplazamiento forzado como motivo de la migración, los casos presentados en este artículo forman parte de un proceso aún vigente que involucra a decenas de miles de personas en la ciudad de Lima y a cientos de miles en el Perú.
Hitos políticos. La representación de la arquitectura pública durante el oncenio de Leguía, el ochenio de Odría y el primer belaundismo
Authors: Zapata Quispitupa Vanessa
Published: September 2021

La arquitectura institucional como medio de representación de los discursos políticos fue fundamental en tres gobiernos del siglo XX, liderados por Leguía, Odría y Belaunde. Situados en tres diferentes contextos —políticos, sociales y urbanos—, cada uno desarrolló la capacidad comunicacional de la arquitectura sobre la base de intereses distintos: el período de Leguía, quien proclamó la Patria Nueva, respondió a factores sociales y buscó un distanciamiento del poder político que lo precedió, al planear la Plaza San Martín; el régimen de Odría acuñó la frase «educación, salud y trabajo» como un recurso político ante cambios urbanos y nuevas demandas de grupos sociales migrantes, por lo que edificó el Ministerio de Educación; y el gobierno de Belaunde, con «el Perú como doctrina», rememoró el pasado incaico y planteó una estructura urbana en la que incorporó el Centro Cívico.
​Histomorphological and Immunohistochemical Studies on Ovaries of Crossbred Dairy Cows with Ovarian Hypoplasia
Authors: Annie V.R. , Lucy K.M.
Published: September 2021

Background: Anatomical abnormalities of the ovaries can be responsible for a variety of reproductive problems, ranging from subfertility to sterility. The current study was aimed to evaluate the ovaries for histological variations and for the identification of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein - 2 (IGFBP-2) by Immunohistochemistry. IGFBP-2 was produced by ovarian tissues and was subjected to dynamic changes during follicle growth, differentiation and degeneration. Methods: The study was conducted on the genitalia of 100 dairy cows / heifers collected from Meat Technology Unit, Mannuthy. Out of these 100 animals, three showed ovarian hypoplasia. Tissue samples from different regions were fixed in 10 per cent neutral buffered formalin. Standard procedures were adopted for histoarchitectural studies and samples were subjected to immunohistochemistry. Result: Hypoplastic ovaries were appeared as small, wrinkled, flattened and elongated structures. Histologically, the ovary was not demarcated into a cortex and medulla distinctly. The ovaries were mostly devoid of ovarian follicles and corpora lutea. In partial hypoplastic ovaries, higher number of atretic follicles were noticed when compared with the normal ovary. Some of these atretic follicles showed a thickened zona pellucida. The granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte were degenerated. Tissue samples from the animals with ovarian hypoplasia showed a strong immunoreaction (for IGFBP-2) in the primordial and atretic follicles. The staining intensity and percentage of immunoreactive cells was comparatively higher than that of the control group. More number of IGFBP-2 blocked the positive effect of FSH and suppress steroidogenesis. The overall percentage of positive immunoreactive cells was more than 50 per cent with strongly positive staining intensity.

20 YEARS OF RSP – THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS I’VE LEARNED
Authors: Frankle Mark A. , Teytelbaum David E. , Simon Peter , Patel Jay S.
Published: September 2021

Introduction and aim This paper reports on 5 key aspects to consider when planning a successful RSA procedure, including patient selection, glenosphere positioning, glenoid fixation, humeral fixation, and soft tissue management/tensioning. Material, methods, results, and discussion Key in patient selection for RSA is understanding the relationship between indications, outcomes, patient mental state, and their expectations. When placing a glenosphere, prioritize sound principles of shoulder kinematics but always consider bone preservation and ease of placement. Glenoid fixation must take advantage of structural features of individual implant designs while factoring in specific-bone morphology/morphometry to optimize the resultant glenohumeral loading. For the stem, fixation prioritizes press-fit where bone quality and quantity permit. Always aim to achieve anatomical pivot point restoration with planning for stem position and avoid distalization that may lead to nerve injury and scapular spine fractures. Conclusions To increase the chances of a successful RSA procedure, a surgeon should emphasize picking the right patient, placing the implant in an optimum position, ensuring adequate glenoid and humeral fixation, and correctly balancing soft tissues. Keywords: reverse shoulder arthroplasty, surgeon education, patient optimization

Authors: Galdino Rosangela , Souza Willian Eduardo Righini de
Published: September 2021

Introdução: Desde 2020 o mundo vem sendo afetado pela pandemia de Covid-19, com consequências tais como a paralisação temporária do atendimento presencial ao público por parte das bibliotecas. Apesar de o Brasil ser um dos países mais atingidos pela pandemia tem-se observado tratativas para a retomada das atividades presenciais em muitas instituições de ensino, gerando apreensão e dúvidas nos alunos e servidores. Nesse contexto, as bibliotecas dessas instituições precisam de referências sobre como analisar sua própria situação e, assim, estabelecer uma estratégia de retorno seguro. Objetivo: Assim, a pesquisa objetivou traçar e implementar uma rota de análise das condições de retorno de bibliotecas pertencentes a instituições de ensino às atividades presenciais, por meio da coleta e análise da opinião de seus responsáveis quanto ao cumprimento (ou não) dos critérios sanitários indicados pelo protocolo de biossegurança do Conselho Regional de Biblioteconomia do Estado de São Paulo 8aRegião (CRB-8). Método: A pesquisa classifica-se como exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa e delineamento de estudo de caso, sendo uma instituição de ensino a unidade caso. Resultados: Entre outros resultados constatou-se que 15% dos participantes acreditam que o seu campus garantirá a oferta de equipamentos de proteção individual para servidores e usuários e 41% creem que há espaço suficiente para garantir o distanciamento entre seus usuários. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o trabalho contribui com o esforço de enfrentamento à pandemia ao colaborar na produção de um instrumento que pode ser replicado a outras instituições, além de inspirar ações de escuta aos implicados nos impedimentos do confinamento.

Matthew A. Cicci examines Tom Petty’s songwriting process. Cicci’s juxtaposition of Petty's insistence that his songwriting is mystical against the artist's own back catalog of alternate takes reveals a musician who diligently revised, experimented, and understood the writing craft. Cicci sees in Petty’s dichotomy an approach to composition that is honest regardless of medium.
Oral rehabilitation using immediate implant placement in mandibular lateral incisors – a case report
Authors: Sari Nila , Kurdi Abil , Tumali Bambang Agustono Satmoko , Ari Muhammad Dimas Aditya
Published: September 2021

Background: Dental problems often lead to missing teeth. After tooth extraction, the alveolar bone will undergo a healing phase, and this will cause some vertical and horizontal resorption. Immediate implant placement can shorten treatment time and preserve the rest of the alveolar bone. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a case of oral function, equilibrium and aesthetic rehabilitation using immediate implant placement. Case: A male patient aged 31 came to Dental Hospital Universitas Airlangga with a fractured anterior tooth. The tooth had fractured two weeks before he came to the hospital, and he wanted to improve his appearance. Case management: The mandibular incisor was fractured, and its residual root remained. The treatment plan was to undertake an immediate implant placement. The type of implant chosen was a bone level tapered implant SC roxolid® SLA Ø 2.9 mm and 10 mm long. Surgery was performed in two stages. The first stage was to extract the residual root, position the implant and apply the bone graft. The second stage was to position the healing abutment. A crown impression was made using the closed tray technique. The crown was cemented to the abutment. Conclusion: Immediate implant placement is an aesthetic means of rehabilitating a missing tooth, such as an anterior mandibular tooth.

Published: September 2021

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease indicated by the progressive demineralisation process of dental tissue. It is caused by an imbalance between the remineralisation and demineralisation processes. The focus of caries management is on prevention. Providing materials that can induce remineralisation is one management of caries prevention. Various materials have been or are being researched, such as casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP), tricalcium phosphate (fTCP), bioactive glass (BAG), and nanotechnologies such as nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAP) and silver nano fluorine (NSF). Purpose: This study aims to review the development of enamel remineralisation inducing materials as a newer approach in caries prevention. Review: Various ingredients have been shown to increase enamel remineralisation through different mechanisms in preventing the development of carious lesions. Conclusion: CPP–ACP, fTCP, BAG, n-HAP, and NSF can induce enamel remineralisation as caries prevention agents. n-HAP and NSF are the most effective agents to enhance enamel remineralisation to prevent caries.

Own-rooted and phylloxera-free vines have been cultivated on the volcanic soil of Santorini for thousands of years. All this time, vines have been cultivated by using two traditional training systems, the ‘Κouloura’, and the ‘Κladeftiko’, which are well-adapted to the specific climatic conditions of the island. This first report aims to share the scarce existing knowledge on Santorini’s training and pruning systems, looking at some important quantitative and qualitative ripening parameters over four consecutive seasons (2017-2020) and revealing similarities regarding their adaptation to climate conditions on the island.
Toward the Modeling of Russia's Monetary System
Authors: Borodachev S.M.
Published: September 2021

The paper explains the dynamics of monetary aggregates in Russia with the help of country's trade balance, the creation of deposits by commercial banks and cross-border flows of rubles and (foreign) currency. The volumes of deposits and flows, in turn, depend on changes the currency/ruble exchange rate and favorable external economic conditions. The model was estimated by the Kalman filter, the adequacy was confirmed by stimulation. Monthly money supply forecasts have an accuracy of ~ 1%. It was found that the volume of additional deposits created per month is ~ 300 billion RUB (this leads to real inflation of 9.5% per annum), money flows that are not related to payments for goods: rubles inflow from abroad ~ 100 billion RUB, currency goes abroad ~ $ 15 billion. With the growth / fall of the dollar exchange rate by 1 RUB per month, during the same month, the creation of additional ruble deposits and the arrival of rubles from outside decreases / increases by $ 0.114 billion. The increase of the Currency Reserve Assets of Russia is accompanied by going abroad ~ 5% of the increase.
A New Cosmological Model Based on Quantization of the Zero-point Field
Authors: Dikshit Biswaranjan
Published: September 2021

Cosmic inflation has presented solutions for a number of important cosmological problems, yet left some unanswered. In this paper, we present a cosmological model based on the quantization of the zero-point field which is consistent with empirical data, requires fewer assumptions, and presents answers to some of those unanswered questions. A comparison between standard cosmology and the theory presented in this paper is given below. Vacuum energy density: Standard inflationary model needs both Hubble’s constant and Matter density to estimate it. But, new cosmological model needs only Hubble’s constant. Non-vacuum energy density: Standard model can’t predict it. But, the new model can predict using only Hubble’s constant. Ratio of vacuum energy to total energy: Standard model can’t predict it. But, new model can predict it, that too without using Hubble’s constant. Energy conservation: In standard model, total energy is not conserved before inflation. But, in the new model, energy is conserved right from beginning of the universe whose net energy (including gravitational potential energy) is always zero. Flatness and homogeneity: Standard model needs Inflaton field with a specific potential energy distribution to explain it. But, new model doesn’t need any such hypothetical field, just the zero-point field is sufficient. Based on the new cosmological model, in the conclusion, realistic possibility for existence of multiverse and a mechanism for end of universe are discussed.
A Potential Benefit of Hypochlorous Acid - Facial Sanitisation
Authors: Nowbuth Avis Aman , Armstrong Josh Barrie , Cloete Thomas Eugene , Fourie Pieter Rousseau
Published: September 2021

Sanitisation has become a major component of everyday life, with emphasis on the hands and surfaces. The face remains unsanitised due to the lack of an acceptable sanitiser. The use of masks has been mandated to reduce the spread of the pathogens by covering the face, however, there remain issues with the use of personal protective equipment. The face remains a harbour for upper respiratory tract infections, with constant deposition of microbes. By reducing microbial load, the risk of both infection and severity are reduced. HOCl has proven antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity, including efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. A facial sanitiser, alongside hand sanitisers and masks, improves protection against SARS-CoV-2. The advantages of regular sanitising of the face and mask include reduced level of microbial contamination, risk of biofilm formation, and respiratory tract and skin infections. HOCl was reviewed as a face and mask sanitiser, concluding that it was an ideal product.
Recovery of Global Symmetries in a 't Hooftian Universe
Authors: Furtado Neto Alexandre
Published: September 2021

A new charge is postulated in a finite, closed, Euclidean discrete space to restore all fundamental symmetries on a global level. Gravity emerges as a residual effect of the electromagnetic force in this scenario, resulting in a deterministic toy universe driven by a single input parameter. Randomness is identified using a Chaintin argument. Aleph0 definite value is tied to the size of the universe. This is not an interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, but a deeper attempt to describe nature.

Among all economically important plant species in the world, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is the most cultivated fruit plant. It has a significant impact on the economies of many countries through wine and fresh and dried fruit production. In recent years, the grape and wine industry has been facing outbreaks of known and emerging viral diseases across the world. Although high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has been used extensively in grapevine virology, the application and potential of third-generation sequencing have not been explored in understanding grapevine viruses and their impact on the grapevine. Nanopore sequencing, a third-generation technology, can be used for direct sequencing of both RNA and DNA with minimal infrastructure. Compared to other HTS methods, the MinION nanopore platform is faster and more cost-effective and allows for long-read sequencing. Due to the size of the MinION device, it can be easily carried for field viral disease surveillance. This review article discusses grapevine viruses and their diagnostic methods, the principle of nanopore sequencing technology and its application in grapevine virus detection, virus–plant interactions, as well as the characterization of viral RNA modifications.
Galaxy Formation and Rotation as a 4D Relativistic Cloud-World Embedded in a 4D Conformal Background: A Cloud Theory
Authors: Al-Fadhli Mohammed
Published: September 2021

The recent observation of the G2 gas cloud orbit around the galactic centre has challenged the model of a mere supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy which should have destroyed it. In addition, the Planck Legacy 2018 (PL18) release has preferred a positively curved early Universe with a confidence level exceeding 99%. In this study, the collapse of a large gas cloud in the early Universe to form a galaxy is modelled based on extended field equations as a 4D relativistic CloudWorld that flows and spins through a 4D independent conformal background of an initial positive curvature considering the preference of the PL18 release. Owning to the curved background, this scenario of galaxy formation indicates that the core of the galaxy undergoes a forced vortex formation with a central event horizon leading to opposite traversable wormholes that are spatially shrinking through the conformal time. It reveals that the galaxy and its core are formed at the same process where the surrounding gas clouds form the spiral arms due to the frame-dragging induced by the fast-rotating core. Accordingly, the G2 gas cloud that only faced the drag effects could be explained if its orbit is around the wormhole but at a distance from the central event horizon. The formation of the galaxy and its core simultaneously could explain the formation of the supermassive compact galaxy cores with a mass of ~109 M⊙ at just 6% of the current Universe age and could resolve the black hole hierarchy problem.
On Fundamentality of Heat
Authors: Jamali Alireza
Published: September 2021

Motivated by the well-known contradiction of special relativity and the heat equation, a wave equation for temperature scalar field is presented that also resolves the old controversy of (Lorentz) transformation of temperature and entropy. After showing that the current dogma of temperature and entropy being emergent concepts is based on but a logical fallacy, it is proposed that single particles posses entropy. This principle of fundamentality of entropy is then shown to be compatible with the equipartition theorem by yielding corrections in the quantum gravity regime.

Cadmium(II) contamination in the environment is an emerging problem due to its acute toxicity and mobility, so it is very urgent to remove this species from industrial wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. Thus, a starch-based activated carbon (AC) with a specific surface area of 1600 m2g-1 is used as an adsorbent for the capturing of toxic cadmium(II) ions from synthetic solutions. The sorbent is characterized by BET, SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, and zeta potential. The maximum uptake (284 mg g-1) of Cadmium(II) ion is obtained at pH 6. The thermodynamic parameters like ∆G, ∆H, ΔS are found to be -17.42 kJmol-1, 6.49 kJ mol-1, and 55.66 Jmol-1K-1 respectively, revealing that the adsorption mechanism is endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible. The experimental data follows the D-R and Langmuir models well. The mass transfer is controlled by pseudo 2nd order kinetics. Furthermore, the density functional theory simulations demonstrate that the activated carbon strongly interacted with the Cd(II) ion through its various active sites. The adsorption energy noted for all interactive sites is highly negative (-0.45 eV to -10.03 eV), which shows that the adsorption process is spontaneous and stable which is in agreement with the experimental thermodynamics analysis.

Today, across the most critical problems faced by hospitals and health centers are those caused by the existence of patients who do not attend their appointments. Among others, this practice generates waste of resources and increases the patients’ waiting list. To handle these problems, hospitals are actively trying to implement methods to reduce the idle time caused by patient no-shows. Many scheduling systems developed require predicting whether a patient will show up for an appointment or not. Although, a challenging problem resides in obtaining these estimates precisely. The goal of this work is to analyze how objective factors influence a patient not to attending their appointment, to identify the main causes that contribute to a patient’s decision, and to be able to predict whether or not the patient will attend the scheduled appointment. As a result, the obtained model is tested on a real dataset collected in a health center linked to the University of Vale do Itajaí (UNIVALI), which includes 25 features and about 5000 samples. The algorithm that produced the best results for the available dataset is the Random Forest classifier. It reveals the best recall rate (0.91), since it measures the ability of a classifier to find all the positive instances and achieves a receiver operating characteristic curve rate of 0.969.
Adjusting the Structure of β-cyclodextrin to Improve Complexation of Anthraquinone-derived Drugs

Published: September 2021

β-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives containing aromatic triazole ring were studied as potential carriers of drugs containing an anthraquinone moiety in the structure: anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid (AQ2S), anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid (AQ2CA) and a common anthracycline, daunorubicin (DNR). UV-Vis and voltammetry measurements were carried out to determine the solubilities and stability constants of the complexes formed and revealed the unique properties of the chosen CDs as effective pH dependent drug complexing agents. The stability constants of the drug complexes with the CDs containing triazole: βCDLip and βCDGAL were significantly larger than with the native βCD. The AQ2CA and AQ2S drugs are ill-soluble and their solubilities increased as the result of complex formation with βCDLip and βCDGAL ligands. AQ2CA, AQ2S were negatively charged at pH 7.4 and therefore they were less prone to form inclusion complex with the hydrophobic CD cavity than at pH 3 (characteristic of gastric juices) when they were protonated. βCDTriazole and βCDGAL ligands were found to form weaker inclusion complexes with the positively charged drug DNR at acidic pH (pH 5.5) than in the neutral medium (pH 7.4) when the drug dissociates to the neutral, uncharged form. This pH dependence is favorable for anti-tumor applications.
