Authors: Gupta Yashna , Pandey Laxman , Garg Pankaj Kumar , Sehrawat Amit , Gupta Sweety , Joseph Deepa , Abraham Bruzily , Pasricha Rajesh , Gupta Manoj
Published: November 2020

Background: Patients with cancer are more susceptible to acquire SARS-Cov-2 infection due to their immunocompromised state related to the disease and anticancer treatment. There is a lack of literature assessing the patient’s perspective of the present crisis and its impact on their treatment.
Aims and Objective: The present study aimed to address the challenges and sufferings faced by patients with cancer during their treatment in the current COVID-19 pandemic era.
Materials and Methods: A single-institute, cross-sectional questionnaire-based observational study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Patients attending the Oncology outpatient department were enrolled in the study.
Results: One hundred patients (64 males, 36 females) with a mean age of 47.17 years (range-24-71) participated in the study. The majority of patients (89%) were aware of the COVID 19 symptoms and did not confuse them with cancer symptoms. Most of them were aware of preventive measures like frequent hand washing, sanitizer usage, and face masks to reduce the risk of infection. Almost half of them encountered difficulties in commuting to the Hospital. Most (83%) of them were worried about treatment delay and disease progression due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost half of the patients (54%) were fearful of acquiring the infection from the radiotherapy machine and immobilizing devices. Two-third of the patients (64%) were afraid to carry the virus back to their homes. Awareness regarding our Hospital’s teleconsultation facility was limited among patients.
Conclusion: The present study underscores the success of ongoing COVID-19 awareness programs run by the government. However, there is an urgent need to address the various challenges encountered by patients with cancer. The strengthening of telemedicine facilities may reduce the in-person visits made by the patients.

Authors: Chauhan Alka , Garg Sunny
Published: November 2020

Fahr’s disease is also known as familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification affecting the cerebral microvessels and presenting with numerous neuropsychiatric manifestations. Functional neurological disorder (FND), a pure neuropsychiatric phenomenon occurs rarely in Fahr’s disease. Herein, we have presented a case of 17 year old female presenting neuropsychiatric symptoms like pseudoseizure, left sensorineural deficit and mild headache for last 4 months. Mental status examination revealed impaired attention and concentration. Laboratory examinations were within normal limits except CT scan and MRI Brain which revealed bilateral and symmetrical basal ganglia calcification. This is a rare case of FND associated with Fahr’s Disease, never reported in the literature. This case highlights the need for evaluating the biological factors in causation of FND where psychological factors were not assessed.

Published: November 2020

Background: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in population and post tonsillectomy pain affects analgesic consumption, hospital stay, oral intake and return to regular activity.
Aims and Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare peritonsillar infiltration and intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine for perioperative analgesia in tonsillectomy.
Materials and Methods: This was a placebo-controlled study to compare peritonsillar infiltration and intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing tonsillectomy. Ninety patients were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. These patients were divided in 3 groups on the basis of whether they received Peritonsillar dexmedetomidine, intravenous dexmedetomidine or intravenous normal saline. The groups were compared for post-operative pain, time to first request of rescue analgesia (duration of analgesia), post-operative sedation, analgesic requirement during first 24 hours and side effects. SSPS 21.0 was used for statistical analysis and p value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Out of total 90 patients included in this study there was a female preponderance with a M: F ratio of 1:1.5. The mean age and ASA grades and mean duration of surgery of patients in all 3 groups were found to be comparable with no statistically significant difference in any of the groups (P>0.05). Preoperative mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures as well as mean arterial pressure and SPO2 was found to be comparable in all 3 groups. However intraoperative blood pressures (systolic, diastolic as well as mean arterial pressures) and SPO2 showed significant difference amongst the groups (P<0.05). Time to first request of rescue analgesia was found to be more in group - Dpt than group – Div and group – Pb which was highly statistically significant (p <0.0001).There was statistical significant difference in number of diclofenac injections consumed during first 24 hours between group – Dpt & group – Div and highly significant difference between group – Dpt & group – Pb, group – Div & group – Pb.
Conclusion: Peritonsillar infiltration of dexmedetomidine is better alternative to intravenous dexmedetomidine in tonsillar surgeries.
Authors beware! Publishing in predatory journals is harmful
Authors: Shrestha Jiban
Published: November 2020

Predatory publishing is now rapidly growing and becoming a global challenge to scientific communities. Predatory publications pose a danger that could undermine the quality, integrity, and reliability of published scientific research works. They harm the career of those authors who published on them. The researchers should be aware of the quality of journals while publishing their research results. In this review, we briefly summarize the ways to spot out predatory publications, their harmful effects, and strategies to stop them. Authors should know the lists of predatory journals/publishers which are available on Beall’s list on the internet. Predatory journals take advantage of authors by asking them to publish for a fee without providing peer-review or editing services. The young and inexperienced authors are easy victims of predatory publications.  The predatory publications are worthless, just a waste of time, resources, money, and efforts. The objective of this review paper was to create awareness about predatory journals among researchers and scholars.

A field trial was conducted to optimize the planting date and appropriate clone for ware potato production at Horticulture Research Station, Malepatan, Pokhara from October 2015 to March 2016. The trial was laid out in two factors Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design. There were nine treatments with three replications. The treatments comprised of three dates of planting (30th October, 14th and 29th November) and three potato clones (Janakdev, Lbr 40 and PRP 266264.1). The results showed that the main effects of planting dates and potato clones significantly (P<0.05) affected most growth, yield and yield attributing parameters of the crop. Interaction effect of planting dates and potato clones also significantly influenced the number of above-ground stems per plant, ground cover percentage, number of tubers per plant, number and weight of small size tuber (<25 g), weight of medium or seed size (25-50 g) tuber and large size (>50 g) tuber, number and yield of tubers per plot, and yield t/ha. The highest yield (37.05 t/ha) was obtained from 14th November planting. The clone Lbr 40 produced a higher yield (36.05t/ha). The clone PRP 266264.1 planting on 30th October planting produced significantly a higher yield (41.34t/ha). The clone Lbr 40 produced significantly highest number and weight of large size (>50 g) tuber. Number of small size (<25 g) tuber per plot or unmarketable tuber significantly increased on delayed planting.

This paper will explore the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ advocates in the Middle East and North Africa region in the 21stcentury in scholarly and cultural discourses. It will explore how these advocates can continue to create cultural waves by separating themselves from international Islamophobic and local anti-LGBTQ+ cultural dialogues. Its methodology will explore scholarly debates within the literature and cultural debates in the region and it will adopt a Postcolonial International Relations (IR) theoretical framework and using critical cultural theory. It will apply the scholarship on the topic to two previously unexplored case studies in contemporary Egypt and Lebanon. The paper will conclude that the legacy of colonial domination still impacts cultural dialogues in the region. However, LGBTQ+ advocates can navigate the cultural discourse to promote indigenous LGBTQ+ rights discourses, and the chosen theoretical framework is a useful framework through which to study modern events in IR.
Public perceptions on using Virtual Reality and Mobile Apps in Anxiety treatment
Authors: Kirkham Rebecca , Batten Caitlin
Published: November 2020

New technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Mobile Apps are increasingly being developed and trialled therapeutically to help treat anxiety disorders. Despite this increasing market, there is little research on how the public perceive the incorporation of these innovative technologies in anxiety treatment. This study aimed to gauge the public’s perceptions of using VR and mobile apps as a form of mental health treatment for anxiety. To do this, a survey was disseminated to those aged 18 to 35 without mental illness via social media and poster advertisements. Results demonstrated that most individuals had limited knowledge on VR and mobile apps’ use in mental health, but overall demonstrated positive perceptions and high optimism regarding its potential use. Neither treatment modality was perceived as being as effective as standard treatment, however participants were willing to use either modality if recommended by a therapist, and use both in conjunction with standard treatment. Participants demonstrated a willingness to use a mobile app as a first point of contact. These findings have implications for the way in which these technologies are rolled out to the public.

Análise da cadeia de suprimentos de circuito fechado de baterias de chumbo-ácido
Authors:   , Armelin M. P.
Published: November 2020

Each year increased importance and attention are given by researchers and professionals to topics related to sustainability, whether due to environmental degradation, exacerbated consumption, health-related risks, costs involved in the recovery of the environment, or other causes. Sustainability is no longer seen only from an environmental standpoint, with concomitant consideration being given to social and economic aspects, thus constituting the triple bottom line (TBL). In this regard, a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) process is fundamental to ensure the logistic flow from the acquisition of the raw material up to the suitable disposal of the product after the end of its lifespan, so as to minimize the impact on the environment and on natural resources. In particular, this concern is magnified in situations involving dangerous products which may contaminate the environment as well as the people involved in their production processes, such as lead. Starting from a literature review of concepts of sustainability (TBL), sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), closed-loop supply chain (CLSC), reverse logistic (LR) and leadacid battery recycling, was evaluated, through a multiple and exploratory case study, a Brazilian automotive chain, involving the manufacture, supply, recovery and recycling of lead-acid batteries, with special focus given to the recovery and recycling of lead. The result was an analysis of the individual participation and responsibility of manufacturers, retailers and recycling companies in the management of the triple bottom line, highlighting the barriers and motivators inherent in their practice and how the incentives, financial or not, affect the rate of collection of batteries energetically exhausted
Calculation, Distribution and Disclosure of Zakat in Malaysian Islamic Banks (Pengiraan, Pengagihan, dan Pendedahan Zakat di Bank-Bank Islam di Malaysia)
Authors: M A Zaaba Nurul 'Iffah , Hassan Rusni
Published: November 2020

Zakat information in annual reports is one of the main attributes that differs Islamic banks from conventional banks. Thus, this study focuses on the zakat information that can be found in Islamic banks financial statements in comparison to the available standards. Reporting standards and guidelines from BNM, AAOIFI, JAWHAR and MASB were used by these banks as guidelines in calculating, distributing and reporting zakat. Due to the absence of standardized accounting standard, certain zakat information was not found in the financial statements. Compared to previous literatures, Islamic banks are moving towards increasing their zakat information disclosure. Based on the analysis of selected Islamic banks’ annual reports, this study concludes by suggesting establishment of standardized zakat distribution framework for Islamic banks.
Keywords: Zakat, Reporting Standards, Disclosure, Financial Statement, Islamic Banks.
Abstrak
Maklumat tentang zakat dalam laporan tahunan adalah salah satu sifat utama yang membezakan bank Islam daripada bank konvensional. Oleh itu, kajian ini memberikan tumpuan kepada maklumat zakat yang boleh didapati dalam penyata kewangan bank-bank Islam dibanding dengan piawaian yang ada. Piawaian pelaporan dan garis panduan dari BNM, AAOIFI, JAWHAR dan MASB digunakan oleh bank-bank ini sebagai garis panduan dalam pengiraan, pengagihan pelaporan zakat. Oleh kerana tiada piawaian perakaunan yang selaras, maklumat zakat tertentu tidak boleh didapati dalam penyata kewangan. Berbanding dengan literatur terdahulu, bank-bank Islam bergerak ke arah meningkatkan pendedahan maklumat zakat mereka. Berdasarkan analisis laporan tahunan bank-bank Islam yang dipilih, kajian ini menyimpulkan dengan mencadangkan penubuhan kerangka pengedaran zakat yang selaras untuk bank-bank Islam.

Abstract                       
The main concern of this article is about the differences of fatwas between Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Kebangsaan and Mesyuarat Fatwa Negeri Perlis regarding the virgin who eloped to Southern Thailand for married without the consent of the authorized family guardian. The objective of this research is to assess the fatwa of Perlis on the marriage of couples who eloped to Southern Thailand for married. This research employed a qualitative approached through content analysis of the fatwa paper works and recorded shariah court cases. The interviews were also conducted with muftis, judges, lawmakers and scholars. The finding revealed that the fatwa of Perlis which stated the virgin woman in Malaysia who eloped to Southern Thailand without the consent of the authorized family guardian is invalid meets the Shariah requirements as discussed by Fuqaha. The result of the study is hoped to be useful to the authorized organizations such as JAKIM, syariah judges, Islamic religious council and fatwa institutions for further improvement hence to reevaluate existing fatwa and legal provisions pertaining to the elopement issues in Malaysia.

Consumo televisivo y nivel de interacción y participación social en redes sociales: Análisis de las audiencias millennials en la campaña electoral de España
Authors: González-Oñate Cristina , Jiménez-Marín Gloria , Sanz-Marcos Paloma
Published: November 2020

In a context in which the audience is considered to be addicted to their mobile and multi-screen devices, the combination between instant messaging, television, and social networks is very interesting regarding the interaction and social participation with content. This effect is also driven by television itself, which has begun to strategically introduce participation within the content itself to give prominence to the audience. Television is enjoying a moment of splendor that is full of opportunities for new businesses. It is of great interest to analyze and study the level of interaction and participation of millennial audiences with past political elections, through the study of not only social networks but also other screens, especially television. In this research, the behavior of young Spanish university students regarding television and digital political content is analyzed to determine their preferences and the effectiveness of the content regarding their vote. The main aim is to determine the level of social participation and interaction of these audiences with political messages on networks and television, and whether such behavior affects their voting decisions. To this end, a survey was carried out in various Spanish autonomous communities to confirm whether differences were present.

Resumen
En un contexto en el que el espectador es considerado adicto a sus dispositivos móviles y multipantallas, la combinación entre mensajería instantánea, televisión y redes sociales resulta interesante para analizar la interacción y la compartición de contenidos. Ese panorama también viene impulsado por la propia televisión, que ha empezado a introducir de manera estratégica la participación dentro de los propios contenidos con el fin de dar protagonismo al espectador. La televisión vive un momento de esplendor y lleno de oportunidades con nuevos negocios. Bajo esta premisa, resulta de gran interés analizar y estudiar el nivel de interacción y de participación que han tenido las audiencias millennials en las pasadas elecciones políticas, no sólo en redes sociales, sino también por medio de otras pantallas, especialmente la televisiva. Se analiza el comportamiento de jóvenes universitarios españoles respecto a los contenidos políticos televisivos y digitales para conocer sus preferencias y la efectividad de los mismos en relación al voto. La idea principal es conocer cómo ha sido el nivel de participación e interacción que han tenido respecto a los mensajes políticos en redes y en televisión, y si su comportamiento ha tenido o no un efecto en sus decisiones dentro de las urnas. Para ello se ha utilizado la encuesta como herramienta principal en varias comunidades autónomas con el objetivo de comprobar si hay diferencias entre ellas para el objeto de estudio.
How European adolescents get engaged with films?: Psychometric properties of the narrative engagement scale
Authors: Soto-Sanfiel María-Teresa , Angulo-Brunet Ariadna
Published: November 2020

Narrative engagement is a fundamental factor in understanding the enjoyment of narratives and their effects. This study seeks to develop a measure of engagement for youngsters and to gather evidence of validity and reliability for a sample of European adolescents. After watching a dramatic film, 310 European high school students (68.71% Italian, 17.74% Spanish and 13.55% German) responded to the proposed narrative engagement scale. The results confirmed the existence of a common factorial model of four factors for Germans and Italians and invariance measurement between samples. The mean score comparison shows that German adolescents have a greater understanding of the narrative than Italians. Also, Germans demonstrated greater emotional understanding than Spaniards. These results contribute to the comprehension of the narrative engagement and illuminate the conceptualization of the psychological phenomena related to the reception of dramatic narratives by youngsters of different cultures across Europe.

EVALUATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SEX IDENTIFICATION IN A STERLET BY MORPHOMETRIC INDICATORS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE TAIL STEM
Authors: Kovalenko V. O. , Sharylo D. Yu. , Kaistro S. O.
Published: November 2020

Representatives of the sturgeon family do not have pronounced external sex differences, which are typical of most aquaculture fishes. This causes some difficulties in their cultivation, the effectiveness of which largely depends on the timely division of the herd of fish into males and females, especially in caviar-commercial sturgeon farming. To date, none of the available methods for determining the sex of sturgeon is perfect. Some are traumatic, others are too expensive to use in commercial fisheries. This encourages the search for new methods and the development of effective ways to separate sturgeon by sex, which determines the relevance of research in this area. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis of the presence of sex differences in the linear size of the tail stem in a member of the sturgeon family - sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus). The object of the study is the morphometric parameters of the tail stalk in the sterlet of adulthood. The subject of the study - differences in the structure of the tail of males and females of sterlet. Research methods - generally accepted in fisheries science ichthyological and statistical. The study was conducted in the training, research and production laboratory of fish farming of the Department of Aquaculture NULES of Ukraine in April and December 2019. The material for the study were the offspring of sterlet from a flock of fish kept in a closed recirculation aquaculture system of the fish farming laboratory. According to the results of the study, the hypothesis of a difference in the size of the tail stalk in male and female sterlet was not confirmed. However, according to the materials of pairwise correlation analysis of the dependence of the values of the indices of the structure of the tail stem on the age of the fish, a moderate inverse relationship was found between the relative thickness of the tail stem and the age of males and females of this fish. Females also showed an increase in the relative length of the tail stem with age. It was determined appropriate to continue similar studies on immature sterlet, aged 2 to 5 years.
EFFICIENCY OF USING MIXED FEEDS WITH DIFFERENT ENERGY LEVELS IN FEEDING LARVAE AND FRY RAINBOW TROUT
Authors: Kondratiuk V. M.
Published: November 2020

The article considers the effectiveness of the use of mixed feeds with different levels of metabolic energy for the cultivation of larvae and fry of rainbow trout. The aim of the experiment was to establish the influence of different levels of energy supply of trout on its performance. For this purpose, five experimental groups were formed by the method of analogues. During the equalization period, the experimental fish consumed feed of the control group. In the main period, the level of metabolic energy in trout feed ranged from 14 to 18 MJ. As a result of the conducted researches it is established that the increase of energy content in compound feed for trout larvae and fry from 16 to 18 MJ contributes to the increase of their weight by 11.1 % (p < 0.05) and growth intensity - by 5.6-14.2 %, while the reduction of energy content to 14 MJ / kg contributes to a probable decrease (p < 0.05) in mass by 11.9%, and a decrease in growth intensity by 6.0-14.7 %. It is proved that the feed consumption per 1 kg of weight gain in trout larvae and fry, which received feed with an energy content of 18 MJ was lower by 5.1 %, and with its content of 14 MJ - 4.8 % higher compared to fish consuming feed with an energy content of 16 MJ / kg. The safety of the experimental fish throughout the experiment was close and ranged from 83.1 to 84.9 %. However, it is most economically feasible to grow trout that consume feed with a nutritional value of 16 MJ of metabolic energy, compared with a decrease or increase of this indicator to 14 or 18 MJ, respectively.

Berdasarkan data dari Direktorat Jendral Kefarmasian dan Alat Kesehatan, diketahui bahwa saat ini, sekitar 90 % bahan baku pembuat obat masih berasal dari luar negeri dan sekitar 60% diantaranya berasal dari Cina, bukan dari Indonesia sendiri. Dengan demikian import bahan baku untuk pembuatan obat di Indonesia cukup besar.Â  Limbah mangga terdiri dari 12-15% kulit dan 15-20% diantaranya adalah biji mangga. Zat yang paling banyak terkandung dalam keping biji mangga kering adalah pati yaitu rata-rata 58% b/b. Pati biji mangga memiliki kadar pati yang tinggi 58% dan amilosa hingga 33,6%, sehingga pati biji mangga memiliki prospektif yang baik untuk dikembangkan sebagai bahan baku untuk bedak dingin/masker dan sebagai disintegran. Hasil penelitian tentang pemanfaatan limbah buah mangga menunjukan bahwa pati biji mangga sangat bagus digunakan karena hasil pemeriksaan dari karakterisasi pati biji mangga untuk mengetahui kualitas pati, analisis kadar air, analisis ukuran partikel menggunakan SEM (scanning electron microscope) yang bermaksud untuk melakukan analisis kuantitatif pada ukuran granula dan pengamatan secara kualitatif untuk mengetahui struktur granula pati, EDS (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) dilakukan untuk mengetahui komposisi-komposisi atom pada fregelatinat pati, FTIR (fourier transform infrared) dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui ikatan-ikatan yang ada dalam pati keping biji mangga, menunjukan hasil yang optimal tentang pati biji mangga sehingga dapat digunakan dengan baik sebagai bahan baku pembuatan bedak dingin.
