Authors: Vera-Ponce Víctor J. , Rodas Alvarado Leyla , Huaccha Chávez Fernanda , Zuzunaga-Montoya Fiorella E.
Published: January 2022

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) and its association with arterial hypertension (AHT) in Peruvian adults. Methodology: Cross-sectional analytical study of the secondary database from the "National Survey of Nutritional, Biochemical, Socioeconomic and Cultural Indicators related to Chronic-Degenerative Diseases". HTGW was measured according to the presence of hypertriglyceridemia (≥ 150 mg/dl) and increased abdominal waist, according to JIS (men ≥ 94 cm and women ≥ 80 cm) and ATPIII (men ≥ 102 cm and women ≥ 88 cm) criteria. Results: the prevalence of AHT was 12.48%, HTGW -JIS was 21.49%, and HTGW-ATPII was 13.96%. In multiple regression, HTGW-JIS showed that they had 1.35 higher frequency of having AHT versus those without HTGW (PR=1.35; CI95%: 1.13 - 1.61; p = 0.001) and HTGW-ATPIII showed that they had 1.38 higher frequency of having AHT versus those without HTGW (PR=1.38; CI95%: 1.14 - 1.67; p = 0.001), both adjusted for convenience variables. Conclusion: HTGW was positively associated with AHT.
Healthy lifestyle promotion and its effect on general practitioners at National Oncology Institute March – April 2021
Authors: Hernández Núñez Irma A. , Valencia Leal Amin A.
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The medical population is considered a representation of integral health. Its work characteristics predispose each member to be complicit in an unconscious practice and promotion of an unhealthy lifestyle. The aim of this work was to describe the effects on lifestyle of an educational intervention in general practitioners in an active work environment. Methods: This study included 18 general practitioners working at the “Instituto Oncológico Nacional de Panamá”. It consisted of 10 virtual educational sessions delivered by trained professionals for 2 months. Results: Positive changes and improvement in all measured variables were reported, including increased frequency of exercise sessions, increased duration of each session, increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes and seeds, increased hours of sleep, improvement in the perceived stress scale score and a decrease in the consumption of foods with low nutritional quality. Discussion: Truly little evidence exists regarding lifestyle promotion educational interventions aimed at health professionals. This population has a high predisposition to form a poor-quality lifestyle since the work environment in which the physician develops exposes him/her to adverse situations such as rotating schedules and long working hours with sleep deprivation. Conclusions: This practical and low-cost educational intervention achieved improvements in the lifestyle of physicians. For this reason, we recommend the replication of similar interventions and their documentation.
Lifestyle medicine intervention in neurodevelopmental disorders. Case Report
Authors: Velásquez Toro Jonathan
Published: January 2022

Neurodevelopmental disorders are conditions generated by dysfunction or interruption of brain development during childhood. In this group, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder stand out due to their prevalence and association between them. Studies suggest that these patients, due to their behavioral dysfunctions, develop unhealthy lifestyles, and that, in turn, these same habits could exacerbate these behaviors. We present a case of a 5 year old female with diagnoses of grade 1 autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, under pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment without behavioral improvement. A lifestyle medicine approach was carried out with an emphasis on eating patterns, transitioning to a plant based diet, incorporating physical activity and sleep hygiene measures. At four months there is evident improvement in hyperactivity, attention and socialization.

The prevalence of diabetes demands the identification of more efficient long-term methods to achieve good patient control. This paper reports the progress of 4 patients diagnosed with previously poorly controlled diabetes and prediabetes with comorbidities that were attended in an outpatient clinic, they received orientation regarding lifestyle change and were instructed to increase consumption of dietary fiber and physical activity. Body composition and biochemical markers were followed and changes were reported. In a 5 month period Patient 1 achieved criterion for controlled diabetes and was able to suspend oral hypoglycemic agents, reducing his body weight by 10%. Within a 8 week period Patient 2 experienced a 50% decrease of HOMA IR and was able to achieve criteria of controlled diabetes. Furthermore a 3 kg increase in lean body mass and a 4 kg body weight decrease were documented. These findings were accompanied by a 23% and 38% decrease in total cholesterol and triglycerides respectively. Patient 3 achieved criteria for type 2 diabetes remission within a 18 month time span(Inicial HBA1C 11.4% Final HBA1C 5.3). Patient 4 progressed to remission of prediabetes and a decrease of 5.9% in total body weight in a 3 month period.

Authors:   https://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/4355, Castillo Velarde Edwin
Published: January 2022

Diabetes mellitus is the main cause of progression of chronic kidney disease and dialysis. The therapeutic intervention considers an HbA1C level that avoids adverse effects associated with hypoglycemic therapy, as occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease, despite not reaching normoglycemia. The present case describes an intervention based on Lifestyle Medicine in a patient with diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease, whose biomarkers showed improvement in kidney damage due to reduction of proteinuria or reduction of HbA1C, LDL and triglycerides in its metabolic control. The intervention with lifestyle medicine requires a multidisciplinary approach and the time of intervention does not discriminate a degree of chronic kidney disease that limits its intervention

Is retrograde intrarenal surgery a safer and more efficient alternative treatment to percutaneous nephrolithotomy in terms of higher stone-free rates and shorter hospital stay among adults with kidney stones 20 mm or greater?
Authors: Caruana Rebecca , Diacono Sheriseane
Published: January 2022

This review aims to evaluate whether retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a safe and efficient alternative treatment to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for stones 20 mm or greater in terms of stone-free rate (SFR) and shorter hospital stay due to lower complications. Research conducted in the years 2007–2017 was considered relevant. Numerous search engines were used to acquire the eight papers included in this meta-analysis. From the eight key papers that were considered, one was a meta-analysis, one was a prospective clinical controlled trial (CCT), and the other six were retrospective CCTs. All studies found higher SFRs in PCNL but the difference was statistically significant in only two of the included studies. This improvement was not reported in any of the studies, including the meta-analysis. As a result, this reflects an inconsistency in the evidence produced. When evaluating hospital stay, all researchers found a statistically significantly shorter stay in the RIRS group compared to the PCNL group, this being potentially attributed to higher rates in minor complications. Due to the inconsistencies evaluated from the key papers, it was concluded that study results ought to be interpreted with caution. RIRS seems to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for selected patients as RIRS offers a comparable initial SFR success as PCNL. This is a cautious statement, drawn in view of inconsistent evidence regarding its superiority over PCNL in this regard. Furthermore, consistent evidence is available, demonstrating its ability to significantly reduce hospital stay without increasing complications. Therefore, RIRS may be considered an alternative to PCNL in selected patients. With that being said, more research is required on this evaluation given that a definite conclusion cannot be reached.
Book review: Kravchenko S. A. “Sociology of Digitalisation: university textbook”
Authors: Meshcheryakova N. N. , Vasilenko L. A.
Published: January 2022

The review of a new book written by a leading Russian sociologist-theorist Sergey A. Kravchenko is presented. The book analyses the social implications and prospects of the digitalisation. The objectivity of this process leading to the complication of society, its dehumanisation and the emergence of new previously unseen risks, is noted. Scientific and technological innovations reduce the share of traditional risks, natural and technological, but increase the share of institutional risks. Sergey A. Kravchenko calls this new reality the socio-digital-natural reality, in which, primarily in social networks, both human actors and non-human (digital) actors, sociotechnical and techno-social hybrids operate. The author of the book being reviewed concludes that there is a need for a humanistic digital turn, a change in approaches and focus of modern scientific knowledge, which should be integrated and multidisciplinary, based on the social and natural sciences integration, aimed at the analysis of disequilibrium systems in which disequilibrium, turbulence do not exclude the tendencies towards organisation and self-organisation.

The peer-reviewed work is an educational publication and it is aimed at developing students’ ability to think critically about the consequences of digitalisation and make balanced managerial decisions. It introduces students to the most modern and advanced sociological theories and concepts.
Features of social management of Russian regional processes in the modern digital era
Authors: Shelokov D. V.
Published: January 2022

Human interaction is an orderly process that is focused on achieving a specific goal. This is the most desirable order in any aspect of everyday life, including social life. To increase its effectiveness, the systematic regulation should be carried out, which is represented by a set of sequential interdependent actions. This is social management – a multidimensional phenomenon, interpreted as specific type of human activity, carried out in the context of internal and external conditions, in order to achieve maximum order in the social system. Developing in the conditions of a specific geographical area, it acquires specific characteristics. Their interconnected totality is expressed not only in the specificity of a particular society culture, but also in individual norms and rules, regulating contacts in various spheres of social interaction (including in the model of administrative-territorial division based on them, applied styles and technologies of management). This is an independent basis for the formation of a set of objective indicators of the social management performance, the totality of which is a system. This is contained in various targeted state social programs, implemented also at the regional level of the organisation of public order. Their implementation in real conditions forms institutional and non-institutional socio-economic prerequisites for the emergence and development of transformations in various spheres of public life. This determines the new requirements for the organisation of the social system as a whole and its components. The implementation of social management, taking into account such a context, seems to be a systemic multifaceted process that has practical orientation.

Authors:   Norizah Mohd Mustamil
Published: January 2022

The integration of technology into nearly every aspect of military activity today has dramatically altered the design of military profession. It has raised the complexity of military operations, the number of responsibilities placed on people, and the need for knowledge and capacity among military personnel. The scale and versatility of current combat operations, the efficiency and selection of modern weapons, as well as modern doctrine's distribution and dynamic force structure requirements, all add to this complexity. Thus, the Malaysian Army leadership requires another ability of engagement to ensure the success of their vision, mission and organisational objective.The capacity of leaders to engage with their subordinates has become crucial in determining the effectiveness of a military organisation, whether during operations in a war zone or in managing soldiers during peacetime. The impact of Emotional Intelligence as a set of cognitive and social abilities that help leaders and their subordinates interact interpersonally.The aim of this concept paper is to elaborate on how emotional intelligence can improve the leadership effectiveness in Malaysian Army.

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique has been incorporated in advancing numerous fields such as biology, biochemistry, molecular interactions monitoring, and medical diagnostics. For the past thirty years, researchers utilized SPR biosensing for rapid detection of viral infection. This paper demonstrates the concept of miniaturization of SPR for in-situ early screening of viral infection. The fundamental principles, including from the total internal reflection, evanescent wave, surface plasmons and surface plasmon oscillations are summarized and highlighted. The integration of miniaturized fiber-optic SPR biosensor with mobile phone device suitable for future in-situ screening. The sensor was fashioned by a light-guiding silica capillary coated with gold (Au) thin film as a sensing layer. The flash of the phone act as the light source, and the camera act as the detector where it captures change of light intensity. The captured images are then analyzed using a simple software application installed on the phone. The potential of an advanced miniaturized system as an alert system for viral recognition in public areas was also overviewed in this paper. By implementing the real-time alert system of viral infection in public places, the management of disease transmission could be improved.

Motorcycle fatal accidents on roads in Malaysia are one of the major causes of death and injuries. There is a need to increase and improvise road safety awareness. In Malaysia, riders with hearing impairment are allowed to ride a motorcycle on the road but restrictions such as responding to the surrounding sounds, especially the sounds produced by the horns and emergency siren from other vehicles warrant a high degree of concern. In this work, a safety helmet is designed to aid the rider with hearing impairment, in detecting the sounds produced by the horns and emergency siren of vehicles. A simple mechanism is developed by using sound sensors as the input, light-emitting diode (LEDs) as the output, and Arduino Uno Board as the controller. The threshold of the sound sensor is 96 dB. When the sensor detected sound waves that exceed the threshold, the LEDs will turn on, which serves as the awareness indication for the rider with hearing impairment. The functionality of the sound detection mechanism in the designed safety helmet is tested based on its response to car and motorcycle horns. The sound intensity produced by car and motorcycle horns is in the range of 107 – 109 dB and 96 – 105 dB. Respectively. The functionality test was conducted at three different distances starting from 4.7m, 9.4m, and 14.10m and the developed system operates to detect the sound of horns in the range of 120-90 dB. Finite element analysis was also performed in analyzing the carbon fiber material for the designed safety helmet, which shows the least deformation (6.174 mm) with the stress of 1014 MPa resulting in the lowest strain of 0.01181 when the load of 3432N was applied to it vertically. Safety helmets that impair hearing with hearing aids are crucial for riders with hearing impairment. However, this work implements an alternative method that focused on using visual warning signals instead of audible warning signals, in aiding the riders with hearing impairment, especially completely deaf riders to stay alert and safe on the road.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all people and the world by 2030. It is a universal call for everyone to act in order to protect the earth and improve the lives and prospects of the world. A green mobile application has been developed in assisting the user to achieve various SDGs. This paper discusses developing a green mobile application - Thrifteal, which focuses on Sustainable Development Goal 12 in ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 12, a detailed understanding is needed of how human food consumption affects the planet. According to the Secretary-General Sustainable Development Goals, worldwide material consumption has expanded rapidly, as the material footprint per capita jeopardises Sustainable Development Goal 12 more broadly. On another note, food waste is also indicated as the primary type of waste that goes into landfills. Therefore, the project's main idea is to overcome the food waste problem at the individual level by offering two modules that will contribute to a sustainable lifestyle, such as an expiry date tracker for short shelf-life food and food sharing. In addition, this application will be developed using the Android Studio software system and based on the Waterfall Methodology. This project aims to prevent users from throwing away food that is still in good condition and sharing food with the needy.

Students' Familiarity with Metaphorical Collocations of time: A Preliminary Investigation
Authors: Oktavianti Ikmi Nur
Published: January 2022

The present study attempted to investigate EFL students' familiarity with collocations of time (i.e., verb + time and time + noun) in the English language.  As many as 42 students were enrolled in this study as participants in which 23 participants were fifth-semester students and 19 were seventh-semester students. To collect the data, the questionnaire was designed and developed based on corpus search results in terms of the verb collocations (verb + time) and noun collocates (time + noun). The data were collected by distributing questionnaires confirming their familiarity with some setlists of time collocations. The results showed that most students are already familiar with many time collocations, either verb + time or time + noun combinations. However, some high-frequency collocations were less familiar among EFL learners. This result should be considered by introducing more intensively learners to English collocations, especially collocations of time.
La parcela doméstica de la casa rural altomedieval (ss. V-XI)
Authors: Vigil-Escalera Guirado Alfonso
Published: January 2022

The toft is the Cinderella of early medieval farmhouses. Most maintenance and social reproduction activities occurred in this space: harvest processing and storage, animal husbandry, daily chores, manure collection, tool, fodder, and fuel storage, etc. Archaeological characterization of this space was overlooked in convergent conceptual and methodological circumstances and has deprived deprived these dwellings of their context. This paper reviews the informative potential of domestic enclosures by analysing several case studies from inner Iberia, all of which were scrutinized under homogeneous criteria. After addressing the main problems arising from archaeological recognition and analysis of these enclosures, we discuss the research challenges that lie ahead in using these data to generate critical knowledge of early medieval rural society.

Introduction: Ultra young women (UYW) is defined as women aged up to 30 years. UYW with BC share some unfavorable biological tumor characteristics as larger size at diagnosis, higher loca-regional recurrence rate and lower survival, and have been merited specialized care. Objectives: We aimed to determine histopathological and molecular characteristics of BC in UYW. Methods: We carried out a multicentric, observational, retrospective study of consecutive UYW patients with BC. Only patients with infiltrating BC were included. Nine Mastology Centers located in the State of São Paulo took part in the research. The follow data were recorded: pathological tumor histology, number of positive lymph nodes multicentricity/multifocality, presence or absence of peritumoral vascular invasion (PVI), histologic grade (HG), pT category, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2 and Ki67. We classified the neoplasias into five molecular subtypes by immunohistochemistry, based on modified recommendations of St. Gallen Consensus (2013): Luminal A-like, Luminal B-like HER2-, Luminal B-like HER2+, HER2 overexpressed (HER2+) non luminal and Triple-Negative. The frequency of the analysed parameters were calculated. The research protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of all Collaborative Centers. Individual informed consent was waived. Results: Invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST) was observed in 243 patients (88%), and infiltrative lobular tumor was extremely rare, being found in 1.1%. The tumor size in surgical specimens was above 20 mm in 54% (in 10% there was no more evidence of tumor after neoadjuvant treatment). We found 52.6% of patients without invasion in lymph nodes (LN) whereas in 22.2% there was more than four LNs involved. Multifocality was seen in 12.4%. HG was 2 or 3 in 98.3%. In 67.5% the tumors expressed ER, 59.4% gR, and 25.1% were HER2+. In 61.5% Ki67 was higher than 20%. Tumor molecular subtypes were classified in 16.6% Luminal A-like, 35.9% Luminal B-like HER2-, 15.1% Luminal B-like HER2+, 9.3% HER2+ non-luminal and in 22.9% Basal-like. Conclusions: Our data from UYW with BC revealed unfavorable characteristics, with frequent adverse pathological and molecular prognostic factors.

Introduction: Paget’s disease is a rare condition ocurring in the papillary-areolar complex, and it is associated with carcinoma, representing 0.5%–5% of all types of Breast Cancer (BC). The uniqueness of the case is related by the BC diagnosis during pregnancy, besides the COVID-19 pandemic context and its consequences. Case report: A 37-year-old woman identified a first-trimester pregnancy during preoperative exams of a nipple biopsy, which confirmed Paget’s disease. Due to the pregnancy and considering the COVID-19 pandemic, an expectant conduct follow-up was settled. After eight weeks, the patient at 26-week gestational age referred a breast lump, and a core biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma. She started treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After three cycles, the therapy was interrupted because she presented clinically local progression. The interruption of treatment and the pregnancy resolution was made at 36 gestational weeks. Posteriorly, the surgical approach involved mastectomy and axillary limph nodes dissection, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an attempt to reduce infection rates, also led to radical changes in our daily lives and forced the world population to isolation and distance. As result, our lifestyle habits and mood have also changed. Whether due to the fear of performing physical activity during treatment, or the lack of information regarding the benefits associated with it, the number of sedentary cancer patients remains high. With the pandemic, the challenge of introducing and maintaining the practice of physical activity during cancer treatment as a “standard of care” became even greater. Objectives: To assess changes in physical activity levels, time spent sitting and self-reported levels of anxiety in women diagnosed with breast cancer, in the face of the COVID19 pandemic. Methods: An online questionnaire was applied to cancer patients, evaluating 57 women diagnosed with breast cancer, aged between 20 and 75 years. The questionnaire was sent via text message and on spontaneous demand on social networks. Results: As main results, we found out that 46 women (80.7%) were practicing regular physical exercises before the pandemic, while 40 (70.1%) of them managed to maintain this habit. The averages of weekly time (minutes) spent in physical exercise, subjective effort intensity, time (hours/day) spent watching TV, and anxiety level before and during the pandemic were 90.5 vs. 69.4 (p <0.003) ; 2.3 vs. 1.9; 2.3 vs. 3.2 (p<0.007); 2.6 vs. 3.3 (p<0.003). Regarding the percentage analyses, it was noted that even in the pre-pandemic period, only 24.5% of the sample performed more than 150 minutes of weekly physical activity, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). As for the level of anxiety, when comparing the number of women who rated themselves between very anxious and exaggeratedly anxious, an increase of 110.4% was noted during the pandemic. Conclusions: Even though exercise protocols for cancer patients are well established, we observed in the present study that most patients do not meet the minimum necessary WHO recommendations. Furthermore, the increase in hours spent watching television may be a factor that contributed to increase the level of anxiety, decreasing the quality of life of these participants.

The University of Leicester’s centenary celebrations provide a timely opportunity for academics, staff and students to endorse our civic mission and engage anew with partners and stakeholders in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). The University owes its existence to the foresight and commitment of local people, who in the aftermath of the First World War helped to champion and establish University College Leicester in 1921, in the belief that access to higher education would enable a better future for all in the city and counties. The College was awarded university status in 1957, and its history and fortune has been inextricably linked with the city and local communities in LLR. Over the years, we have worked together passionately, to reap new opportunities, face immense challenges and help to improve lives in communities locally across the UK and internationally. Community partnership and collaboration can readily be witnessed through the hundreds of academics, students and staff who are actively involved with mission driven charities and third sector organisations many of whom participated in the Centenary Community Engagement Fund Workshop in November. Our leading researchers also have very strong links with community facing organisations and major institutions such as the University Hospitals of Leicester Trust. The same is true of multi-disciplinary academic research teams collaborating proactively with charities, businesses, social enterprises and organisations in a wide range of sectors from social care to arts and culture. This paper is concerned with the Centenary Community Engagement Fund just one of the new civic initiatives launched during our Centenary year. This Fund will provide £125,000 in philanthropic funding for novel interdisciplinary research with partners and for more sought after internships for our talented students.
