Authors: Josephine Vania , Antonio Ferdi
Published: March 2024

The COVID-19 has become a devastating occurrence and an urgent intervention for public health in Indonesia. Until the beginning of 2021, Indonesia has the highest number of healthcare workers deaths in Asia and fifth in the world. One of the reasons that resulted in a high number of deaths is due to the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn in high-risk environments. Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is one of the most advanced protective equipment and recommended by many countries for their healthcare workers in handling COVID-19 pandemic. This research is conducted to predict Indonesian physicians’ intention to use PAPR as advanced PPE using the Health Belief Model. This research is a correlational study and a quantitative research using statistical tests in processing the data collected from online questionnaires. The findings collected from 163 respondents demonstrated that physicians in Indonesia have the intention to use PAPR as advanced PPE against COVID-19 based on their knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits of using PAPR. Perceived barriers do not have a significant influence towards physicians’ intention to use. The impact of knowledge to intention to use mediated by perceived benefits has the strongest correlation. This empirical model has moderate predictive accuracy with medium predictive relevance, therefore it could be developed and tested on an extended population. There are few managerial implications that could be recommended for hospital managers, public health administrators, and medical device suppliers to encourage physicians’ behavior. Several recommendations are given for further research development.

Published: March 2024

Globalization has a big impact on the development of the business world and opportunities for institutions engaged in services. Hospitals are required to find new marketing ideas/strategies in maintaining their existence and improving the quality of services for the creation of patient satisfaction. The lack of promotion of superior hospital products (50%) and the low results of patient satisfaction surveys for services (30%) indicate the need to improve aspects of the marketing mix at Unisma Hospital in Malang. This study aims to analyze public perceptions of the marketing mix (7P) in service satisfaction at Unisma Malang Hospital. This study is in the form of a survey (cross sectional study approach) with 85 respondents selected using the accidental sampling method. The data collection method was carried out through interviews and using a service satisfaction questionnaire containing a marketing mix (7P) component. The results showed that of the 7 aspects of marketing mix there were 2 dominant aspects and there was a need for improvement, namely the promotion aspect where 41 chose the lack of activities made by RSI Unisma as the promotion of RSI Unisma and the process aspect where as many as 54 chose the lack of speed and accuracy of the service. Therefore, based on these problems, it is necessary to improve the hospital marketing strategy and improve the quality of service. The solution to this problem is to promote activities that are under the auspices of the Nahdlatul Ulama as an effort to promote and review services, processes and procedures.

Authors: Kridawati Atik , Ulfa Laila
Published: March 2024

Older women are at twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease than men. This happens because when women experience menopause, estrogen in the body will decrease. Estrogen is a hormone that can influence and help regulate body functions including the reproductive system, brain and central nervous system, bones, liver and urinary tract. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is intended to increase estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. One of the food ingredients that contain phytoestrogens and is widely consumed in Indonesia is tempe. The aim of the study was to make a tempe-based drink containing isoflavones (genestein, daidzein, glycetin) and nutrients (vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate) that are appropriate and sensory acceptable. The content of isoflavones and nutrients was analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Tempe flour which has been analyzed for its nutritional content and isoflavones, then a tempe drink formulation is made with isoflavones content, namely 15 milli grams (30 grams of tempe flour). To improve the flavor of the drink, add cocoa powder. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single treatment, namely the concentration level of tempe flour for formula 1 (original tempe) = 17.5%, formula 2 (original tempe) = 14% and formula 3 (tempe with added chocolate as flavor). = 14 %. Acceptance of tempeh-based drinks was carried out by organoleptic tests in the form of hedogenic (liking) tests on 30 elderly women. In the first phase of the research that for color, taste, aroma and thickness the most preferred was the third formula with the addition of chocolate and 14% thickness. The conclusion is that tempe flour using the freeze dry method contains isoflavones and nutrients (vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid) higher than tempe using the oven method but not significantly. Hedogenic test (favorability test) is the highest with a 14% viscosity formula and there is the addition of chocolate

Published: March 2024

Sulfonamides belong to an important class of compounds which showed wide ranges of biological activities like antibacterial, antiviral, diuretic, hypo-glycemic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and recently anti-covid-19. Over the last few decades, various pharmacological activities of sulfonamide conjugates were published. Moreover, many lead compounds with sulfonamide functionality are also in clinical trial for the treatment of various medical conditions. For these reasons, development of an efficient process for the synthesis of sulfonamides has always been in the focus for research in organic field synthesis. The most typical method for the synthesis involves reaction between primary or secondary amines and sulfonyl chloride in presence of organic or inorganic bases. Although this method is effective, but the nucleophilicity of amines may vary depending on the groups attached to it. In general, primary amines are highly reactive, whereas secondary amines show very low to almost nil reactivity. In this study, we have reviewed past and recent biological effects of some sulfonamide derivatives and some advances efficient synthetic procedures for some types of sulfonamides.

Results: We observed that there was an increase in the lymphocyte counts from 12650 cells/mm3 before phototherapy to 10360 cells/mm3 after phototherapy with a p-value 0.03*. The mean platelet count also decreased from 209×103 cells/mm 3 to 258×103 cells/mm 3 with a p-value of 0.045 which was significant. Rest of the blood cell counts seem to be unaltered by phototherapy. Conclusions: NLRs and PLRs were reduced due to phototherapy in term neonates, and these ratios can be used to aid in management in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia on phototherapy.

Some studies recommends uncemented prothesis in treating femoral neck fractures as the blood loss, operative time, and incidence of embolism are lower. On the other hand, others recommend using a cemented prosthesis for fracture neck of femur treatment as there is reduced thigh pain, facilitates early mobilization and a decreased incidence of prosthetic loosening. Uncertainty exists regarding whether a uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures could have the same clinical outcomes as a cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. This study compared a using uncemented and cemented bipolar prosthesis in the treatment of fracture neck of femur
Barnichia crialesae gen. nov., sp. nov., from the western Atlantic (Annelida, Polychaeta, Polynoidae, Polynoinae)
Authors: Salazar-Vallejo Sergio I
Published: March 2024

The family Polynoidae contains the highest number of genera in all marine annelids. Subfamilies like Polynoinae include genera with numerous segments and others with few segments (often from the deep sea) which, over the past 20 years, has been used to distinguish among newly proposed
genera. However, this character is not robust enough and there are some morphological patterns still unrecognized. Drawing upon specimens collected during the University of Miami Deep Sea Expeditions along the western Atlantic (1962–1975), a new genus is herein proposed. Barnichia
gen. nov. resembles Neohololepidella Pettibone, 1969 in having a tentacular segment with chaetae and facial tubercle and differs in having acicular lobes very long, filiform, notochaetae tapered, and neurochaetae with long smooth distal region (acicular lobes triangular, without filiform
processes, notochaetae blunt, and neurochaetae without smooth distal region in Neohololepidella). In addition, a key to polynoin genera similar to Barnichia gen. nov. is included, and a new species, Barnichia crialesae sp. nov., is described based on specimens from Florida,
Panama, and Suriname, being characterized by having elytra with smooth margins and globular to tack-shaped microtubercles.
AI-Enhanced Comprehensive Analysis Of The Research Perspective On The Microbiome And Methane Production In Cow Rumen
Authors: Li Tyler
Published: March 2024

Methane emissions from ruminant livestock, particularly cows, have been a topic of interest because of their negative environmental impact, including contributing to greenhouse gas accumulation and accelerating climate change. Understanding the cow's rumen microbiome can provide valuable insights for devising effective emission reduction strategies. Despite the recognized environmental impact of methane emissions from cows, however, a systematic review on the cow rumen microbiome has not yet been done. This study aims to fill this gap by performing an unbiased bibliometric analysis to review the effect of the rumen microbiome on methane emissions through cross-check of multiple data sources. While the bibliometric analysis offers a quantitative approach to assess research trends and identify areas of potential exploration within the field of the cow rumen microbiome, this study also evaluated the concurrently growing interest in the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT by OpenAI in terms of its efficacy and accuracy in enhancing scientific research project. Through the fusion of conventional research methodologies and AI-driven insights, this study aspires to provide a holistic perspective on the cow rumen microbiome's profound influence on methane emissions, while also exploring the untapped potential of AI in advancing scientific inquiry.

Published: March 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a severe worldwide health problem, and its prevalence is quickly growing. It is a spectrum of metabolic illnesses definite by continually increased blood glucose levels. Undiagnosed diabetes can lead to a variety of difficulties, including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and other vascular abnormalities. In this context, machine learning (ML) technologies may be mainly useful for early disease identification, diagnosis, and therapy monitoring. The core idea of this study is to detect the strong ML algorithm to forecast it. For this numerous ML algorithms were chosen i.e., support vector machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), K nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), and decision tree (DT), according to this work. Two, Pima Indian diabetic (PID) and Germany diabetes datasets were used and the research was implemented using Waikato environment for knowledge analysis (WEKA) 3.8.6 tool. This research discussed performance matrices and error rates of classifiers for both datasets. The outcomes showed that for the PID database (PIDD), SVM works improved with an accuracy of 74% whereas for Germany RF and KNN work improved with 98.7% accuracy. This study can helps healthcare facilities and researchers in understanding the value and application of ML algorithms in predicting diabetes at an initial stage
Efecto del índice de temperatura-humedad sobre la producción de leche, la frecuencia de ordeño y el comportamiento de vacas en sistemas de ordeño automático basados en pasturas

Published: March 2024

En este trabajo se planteó la hipótesis de que la frecuencia de ordeño y el comportamiento son afectados negativamente por condiciones de índice de temperatura y humedad alto o superior al umbral en el mismo día y que la producción de leche está asociada negativamente con un mayor índice de temperatura y humedad en los dias anteriores. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el impacto del estrés térmico sobre la producción de leche, la frecuencia de pedido y la conducta animal en un sistema de pedido automático con tráfico voluntario basado en pastos, mediante indicadores ambientales y fisiológicos. Durante seis veranos consecutivos desde el año 2016, en un sistema voluntario de orden, se evaluó a 65 vacas Holando argentino de alta producción. Para el análisis de los datos se obtuvo un modelo lineal mixto. El índice de temperatura y humedad promedio tuvo el mayor efecto en la producción de leche (disminución promedio de 0,18 l por cada aumento de unidad de índice) durante todos los días de prueba (días 0, −1, −2 y −3 ), seguido por el índice de temperatura y humedad máxima (disminución promedio de 0,14 l), donde el día −3 tuvo el menor efecto. Por otro lado, el índice de temperatura y humedad mínima durante todos los días de prueba no afectó a la producción de leche por vaca por día (P>0,05). La frecuencia promedio de pedido por vaca por día se asoció negativamente con el índice de temperatura y humedad promedio en los días 0, -1 y -2 (P<0,002). Las conductas parado, echado y echado rumeando fueron asociadas con el índice de temperatura y humedad promedio del día 0 (p<0,05).

Barátosi Mircse (Mirtse) Dénes 1812. december 26-án született a háromszéki Barátoson. 1828-ban hadfiként lépett be a császári-királyi hadseregbe. 1836-ban zászlóssá, 1839-ben alhadnaggyá, 1843-ban főhadnaggyá, 1848 márciusában századossá lépett elő a kézdivásárhelyi 15. (2.) székely határőr-gyalogezred állományában. 1848. szeptember 23-án nevezték ki századosnak a marosvásárhelyi 12. honvédzászlóaljhoz, s a 4. század parancsnokságát vette át. Részese volt a Székelyföld, majd Háromszék védelmének, 1849 februárjától a székelyföldi haderő szervezésében tevékenykedett. 1849 áprilisában áthelyezték a hétfalusi 140. honvédzászlóaljhoz. 1849 júniusában zászlóalja másfél osztályának parancsnokaként működött a brassói hadosztályban. A fegyverletételt követően hazatért, azonban hamarosan letartóztatták, csakúgy, mint Ferenc bátyját, aki honvéd őrnagy volt. Nagyszebenben a hadbíróság kötél általi halálra ítélte, amit 1851-ben kegyelemből 6 évi várfogságra módosítottak. 1852-ben kegyelmet kapott, így szabadult az olmützi várbörtönből. Hazatért Barátosra, ahol gazdálkodott. 1855. március 1-jén feleségül vette nagyborosnyói Bartha Cecíliát. Házasságukból két gyermek született: Irma és Berta. Hosszas betegség következében halt meg Barátoson, 1864. március 24-én. Naplója a közelmúltban került elő, amelyet 1842 és 1860 között vezetett, ezek közül az 1848–49-es magyar szabadságharccal kapcsolatos bejegyzéseit közöljük.
Gróf Teleki Pál williamstowni előadásai
Authors: Jeney János
Published: March 2024

1921 augusztusában gróf Teleki Pál elindult második amerikai útjára. Teleki már a béke megkötése előtt is Magyarország ügyét képviselte külföldön, többek között az amerikaiak felé, és most is ezt kívánta tenni Williamstownban is. Az ott működő Williams College-ban tartott előadássorozatot Magyarország történelméről, gazdaságáról és politikai helyzetéről. Ezen előadások jól dokumentáltak, ugyanis a következő évben Teleki gróf Lawrence Martin ezredes segítségével megjelentette előadásainak leiratát egy könyvben, amelyet New York-ban adtak ki. A kötet elkészítése nagy elismerést váltott ki az amerikaiak részéről, és Telekit mint nagy hazafit, az amerikaiak barátját és egy nagytudású tudóst mutatták be. A könyv megjelenésének előkészítése az 1922-es év folyamán zajlott, ami alatt Teleki számos térképet juttatott el Amerikába, ami gyarapította a már Teleki által az amerikaiak részére juttatott Térképgyűjteményt. Ezen térképeket a megjelenés előtt átszerkesztették annak érdekében, hogy fekete-fehérben olvashatók legyenek. A tanulmány elkészítésében részt vett az Amerikai Földrajzi Társaság, az Amerikai Földtani Intézet és az amerikai külügyminisztérium egy tisztségviselője. Jelen tanulmány bemutatja a kötet megjelenésének körülményeit, és azt, hogy milyen körülmények között jutott el Teleki Amerikába hogy megtarthassa előadásait Magyarországról. A tanulmány betekintést ad a kötet tartalmába is.
