Background: Language is the most powerful diagnostic tool available to any doctor. Language provides the doctor with the information needed for appropriate diagnosis hence successful health care service delivery. Culture influences the choice of language in various context such as the hospital. Little is known on the language used by men seeking reproductive health services at the clinic despite so many researches having focused on doctor-patient communication. The focus of this work is the language used by men to describe their reproductive health problems to the doctor. Methods: Participant observation and interview are the data collection tools. Conclusion: Key features of mens conversaton include silence, interruptions, use of swear words and taboo language. They use discursive strategies such as self reliance and independence when seeking health services while they use teasing humor when talking about sexual and reprodcutive health.
Preparation of Silicon Oxycarbide (SiCO) Ceramics from Different Polymer Architectures and Assessment on the Performance as Electrodic Materials for Voltammetric Sensing of Antioxidant Phenolic Compounds
Authors: Silva Lívia , Silva Maria , da Silva Paulo Rogério , Tarley César Ricardo , Segatelli Mariana
Published: May 2022

Silicon oxycarbide (SiCO) ceramics obtained from polymer pyrolysis and with varied carbon contents were prepared and evaluated as new electrodic materials for sensing of tert‑butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) antioxidants. Three polymers were synthesized varying molecular architecture and aromatic carbon groups, followed by pyrolysis at 1000 and 1500 °C to obtain SiCO ceramics. Graphitization and crystallization processes were evidenced, in different extent, according to precursor chemistry. SiCO at 1500 °C with intermediary carbon content provided slight improvement in the peak anodic separation of TBHQ and BHA and higher peak current compared with glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Higher acidic sites concentration together with more ordered residual carbon phase produced in situ contributed to great electrochemical performance of SiCO towards phenolic compounds detection. Therefore, the ceramic herein prepared exhibits highly efficient features as a new SiCO composited electrode for simultaneous determination of antioxidant phenolic compounds bearing in mind further analytical applications.

LOS EXCLUIDOS, VÍCTIMAS DE LA INJUSTICIA SOCIAL EN EL ORÁCULO CONTRA ISRAEL: UNA LECTURA DE AMÓS 2, 6-8
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Bolivariana de Medellín, Calao Flórez Eliana María
Published: May 2022

La exclusión social es un concepto que integra pobreza y marginación. Condiciones pre-sentes en el ambiente social donde surgió la profecía de Amós y en el mundo actual. En el Oráculo contra Israel, el profeta denuncia injusticias que afectan a el justo, el necesitado, los pobres, los oprimidos y la muchacha, en el marco de dinámicas de poder generadas por la marcada desigualdad del próspero Reino del Norte del siglo VIII a.C. Las víctimas de los opresores son el centro de la denuncia del profeta en Am 2, 6-8. En este artículo se propone una lectura del texto a partir de un acercamiento retórico, que pone el foco de atención en las víctimas de las injusticias que el profeta condena, los excluidos.
Esencialidad de la Eucaristía presencial y virtual en tiempo de COVID-1
Authors:   Universidad Silva Henríquez, Chile, Cabrera Reyes Heriberto Luis
Published: May 2022

Desde que la OMS llamó al Covid-19 una “pandemia”, el miércoles 11 de marzo 2020, se ha producido una avalancha de prohibiciones de reuniones en todo el mundo y también aquí en Chile. Al aceptar esta norma gubernamental, la Iglesia ha cumplido con el imperativo de proteger la salud corporal, considerando ésta como una prioridad. Sin embargo, esto ha suscitado muchas interrogantes: ¿la eucaristía es esencial o no?; ¿la eucaristía por internet es real o virtual?; ¿qué dicen las eucaristías virtuales a la teología?. Aproximarse a esta realidad desde la perspectiva de la teología práctica y con uno de sus métodos: la correlación crítica, nos permite dar sentido e interpretar lo que hemos vivido. En ese sentido se confirma que lo más importante es siempre el Misterio que se hace epifanía en la eucaristía por internet, él es el esencial, aunque la modalidad (internet) no agote ni sea la única manera de hacer anamnesis de Cristo. La eucaristía por internet es una realidad con un espacio propio, ella es actual y se caracteriza por la presencia activa del hombre. Sin embargo, quedan muchas interrogantes sin respuesta, especialmente relacionadas con la asincronicidad, la pérdida del sentido comunitario, y el rol demasiado preponderante del sacerdote en desmedro de la participación.
Impact of Stroke Severity on the Smoking Paradox in Patients Treated
with Intravenous Thrombolysis
Authors: Yang Yi , Zhang Peng , Guo Zhen-Ni , Yan Xiu-Li , Zhang Fu-Liang
Published: May 2022

Objectives:

To our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the impact of stroke
severity on the smoking paradox after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to explore the
contribution of stroke severity to the association between smoking and stroke prognosis after IVT.

Methods:

We enrolled consecutive patients who received IVT within 4.5 hours from stroke onset. A
logistic regression model was used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with
their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for poor functional outcome and mortality at 3 months.

Results:

Among patients with moderate stroke, smokers experienced a lower risk of 3-month poor
outcomes than non-smokers (33.0% vs. 44.4%, unadjusted OR: 0.616; 95% CI: 0.402–0.945). However,
among those with severe stroke, smokers had a higher risk of 3-month poor outcomes than
non-smokers (81.6% vs. 55.9%, unadjusted OR: 3.496; 95% CI: 1.207-10.127). After adjustment,
the negative correlation between smoking and 3-month poor outcome following IVT lost statistical
significance in patients with moderate stroke (OR: 0.677 [95% CI: 0.418-1.097]). However, smoking
remained a risk factor for 3-month poor outcomes in patients with severe stroke (OR: 4.216
[95% CI: 1.236-14.385]). We also observed a significant interaction between smoking and stroke
severity with regard to the risk of poor functional outcomes (p=0.023). However, no such interaction
influenced mortality (p=0.901).

Conclusion:

Stroke severity affects the association between smoking and 3-month clinical functional
outcomes following IVT.
Effects of Epigallocatechin Gallate on the Cytotoxicity of Epirubicin-HCl
in Lung Cancer Cells
Authors: Erdogan Ayse , Ozkan Aysun
Published: May 2022

Background:

Studies have shown that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is present in green tea at a higher rate than other components, has an additive or synergistic cytotoxic effect when applied with different anticancer drugs and reduces the side effects caused by anticancer drugs. It is known that the order of administration of drugs in combined applications also affects cytotoxicity. In this context, in our study, the most effective application sequence was determined by evaluating the cytotoxic responses of epirubicin-HCl and EGCG according to the different application order in A-549 cells (NSCLC).

Methods:

To demonstrate the apoptotic activity, we detected changes in mRNA ratios of Bax, a pro-apoptotic gene, and Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic gene, (Bax/Bcl2), as well as changes in the activity of caspase 3/7 enzyme. To demonstrate the effect of oxidative stress generation, we investigated changes in glutathione peroxidase activity.

Results:

It was observed that the cell viability of A-549 cells exposed to different concentrations of epirubicin-HCl and EGCG for 48 h decreased depending on the concentration increase. According to the results of cell viability in cells to which epirubicin-HCl (<IC50) and EGCG (<IC50) were treated with together, and the combination index (CI) value calculations, the most effective combination concentrations were determined to be IC20 Epirubicin-HCl and IC10 EGCG. LDH activities were found higher in epirubicin-HCl + EGCG treatment than epirubicin-HCl alone treatment compared to control groups. Treatment of epirubicin-HCl with EGCG was found to be more effective in increasing glutathione peroxidase activity than epirubicin-HCl alone. Both of epirubicin-HCl alone and combination traetments caused increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in A-549 cells.

Conclusion:

Combination therapy of epirubicin-HCl with EGCG may be a light in the future for lung cancer patients who are tried to be treated with conventional chemotherapy drugs but cannot achieve the desired success.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) and Enkephalinase Inhibition (IV1114589NAD) Infusions Significantly Attenuate Psychiatric Burden Sequalae in Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in Fifty Cases
Authors: Badgaiyan Rajendra D , Blum Kenneth , Han David , Baron David , Kazmi Shan , Elman Igor , Gomez Luis Llanos , Gondre -Lewis Marjorie C. , Thanos Panyotis K , Braverman Eric R
Published: May 2022

Background:

There is a shortage of clinical studies examining the efficacy of Nicotinamide Adenine
Dinucleotide and Enkephalinase infusions (IV1114589NAD) in treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD).

Objective:

This study aims to provide evidence that IV1114589NAD infusions significantly attenuate
substance craving behavior.

Methods:

The study cohort consisted of addicted poly-drug, mixed gender, multi-ethnic individuals resistant
to standard treatment. The investigation utilized Likert-Scales to assess behavioral outcomes.

Results:

Using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and sign tests, our team detected significant results by comparing
baseline to post outcome scores after IV1114589NAD injections: craving scores (P=1.063E-9); anxiety
(P=5.487E-7); and depression (P=1.763E-4). A significant reduction in cravings, anxiety, and depression
followed a dose-dependent linear trend. Linear trend analyses showed a significant relationship between
NAD infusions and decreasing scores for cravings (P=0.015), anxiety (P=0.003), and depression (P=8.74E-
5). A urine analysis was conducted on a subset of 40 patients midway through the study to assess relapse;
100% of the urine samples analyzed failed to detect illicit substance use.

Discussion:

The opioid crisis in America has claimed close to 800,000 lives since 2004; daily deaths are
estimated to stand at 127, and in 2021, over 107,000 deaths were due to overdose. There is an urgency to
find safe, side-effect-free solutions. Current interventions, such as Naltrexone implants, are invasive and
may interfere with dopamine homeostasis leading to an anti-reward phenomenon. Larger randomized
double-blinded placebo-controlled studies are needed to elucidate further the significance of the results
presented in this study. The current pilot study provides useful preliminary data regarding the effectiveness
of IV1114589NAD infusions in SUD treatment.

Conclusion:

This pilot study provides significant evidence that NAD infusions are beneficial in the
treatment of SUD. This investigation serves as a rationale to extend these findings onto future research
investigating the use of NAD/NADH as a stand-alone treatment, especially in patients showing high
genetic risk as measured in the Genetic Addiction Risk Severity (GARS) test. Utilizing GARS will help
provide a real personalized therapeutic approach to treat Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS).

Published: May 2022

Teachers are required to be aware of their students' perceptions of physical education in addition to their own perceptions of the subject's current teaching experience. The qualitative approach is the approach used in this study with the constant comparison method by coding, categorizing, and finding themes in the interview transcripts. The results of this study were designed to find out students' perceptions of physical education and teaching difficulties in 63 elementary schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional sample included 127 students (1st to 3rd graders of the elementary schools) and their physical education teachers (n = 68). Most students agreed they like sports or physical activities (95.6%). Few students like game-based physical education activities (18.89%). Most teachers showed great perception toward multilateral movement (70.58%). Students preferred to learn physical education through games and that they believed learning the subject has brought many benefits such as having a stronger and healthier body and increasing their motivation to be an outstanding athlete. Teachers had learned multilateral movement but they were still limited by their low capacity to create engaging learning experiences and manage students in the learning processes

As problems of intolerance and disrespect of human rights escalate in this modern world, raising public awareness on human rights is considered an inevitable task for all. Intervention of promoting human rights in education field is believed to be playing an important role to address the problems. This study wants to collect information from its research subjects on the extent to which topics of human rights are being learned and taught in higher education institutions, and on the degree of effectiveness of different methods used to learn and teach human rights in higher education institutions, as to develop human rights knowledge and understanding of students. This study uses the technique of homogenous purposive sampling to determine the research subject. The research subjects are (1) students who take the course subject of Human Rights or Citizenship and (2) lecturers who teach either the course subject of Human Rights or Citizenship, in any higher education institutions in Indonesia. The questionnaire is developed using Google Form, and is distributed online. As the result of the survey for 445 students and 72 teachers of Indonesian higher educational institutions, most of them are familiar with the concept of human rights. The most significant sources of information on human rights are university lecturers, mass media, official documents, and publications. The most important level of education to receive knowledge and build understanding on human rights are secondary education, higher education, elementary education, and vocational education. General human rights, right to freedom of religion and belief, and right to education are fully developed. More of other rights, such as rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ), rights of migrants, rights of internally displaced persons, and rights of the poor, are expected to be more developed than they are now. The most effective methods are field visit/excursions, watching films, problem solving, and case studies. The least effective methods are arts (drawing and singing), writing essays and stories, and games.

Published: May 2022

The ability of the Muslim community in Indonesia to perform the hajj pilgrimage, which fulfills Islam’s fifth pillar, is increasing. With the rise in life expectancy, the number of Indonesian elderly hajj pilgrims (EHP) is consequently growing. However, chronic conditions such as impairments, illnesses, and diseases cause an increase in morbidity and mortality among EHP. Thus, an innovative training program with practical tips for a healthy hajj experience is needed to improve the healthcare service to the EHP. This study aims to investigate the effects of an innovative training on the performance of Hajj Healthcare Workers of Indonesia (HHWI) and on the clinical outcomes of EHP. It was a quasi-experimental study. The population was all HHWI from the Surakarta embarkation in 2014. Meanwhile, the sample of this study was all 21 HHWI from Yogyakarta who received innovative training consisting of EHP special care training (theory and practice) in addition to basic national training. Twenty-one HHWI from Surakarta were randomly chosen as a control group and only received basic national training. Pre and post tests were used to assess knowledge of HHWI after training. The average pretest scores of the intervention and control groups were 48.50 and 48.07, respectively (p= 0.337), while the posttest score of the intervention group was 86.83 (p = 0.033). The measured parameters were the performance of HHWI, which is reflected by the EHP mortality rate, the number of outpatients, and the number of patients referred to the outpatients. We included the EHP under the supervision of HHWI, which has acquired training. EHP morbidity was evaluated as the number of outpatients and referred patients. There were 2216 outpatients from the intervention group as compared with 2144 in the control group, with most of them being 60-70 years old (p= 0,075). The number of referred EHP in the intervention and control groups was 10 and 30 patients, respectively (OR 2.94; p= 0.002). As for the mortality cases, we observed 7 EPH deaths during the hajj period (2 EPH from the intervention group vs 5 EPH from the control group; OR 0.263; p=0.207). Innovative training could reduce referral morbidity and mortality among elderly hajj pilgrims

Published: May 2022

Relevance. The research is associated with the need to develop the theory of a socially significant direction of insurance protection. The research is associated with the objective need to open up new insurance opportunities by expanding the boundaries of reproductive insurance, corresponding to the development of the basic categories of reproductive health and reproductive risks for it. The purpose is to reveal the modern content of reproductive insurance, to determine its place in the classification system of insurance. Objectives: to identify the historical prerequisites for the formation of meaningful boundaries of reproductive insurance; to determine the modern operational potential of reproductive insurance and on its basis to answer the question of the classification of this area of insurance protection; to identify the features of the Russian practice of reproductive insurance. Methodology. The fulfillment of the tasks was ensured by the use of classical methods of theoretical cognition. Results. Initially, reproductive insurance was associated with the insurance protection of women in case of death during childbirth. The modern understanding of what is reproductive health and reproductive risks has become deeper, which cannot but influence the content framework of dependent and derived categories. However, a historically determined predisposition to the formation of the same type of insurance products that do not go beyond the scope of VMI and accident and disease insurance programs, focused on the risks of complications of pregnancy and childbirth, has led to an extremely limited market even if there are conditions for its development. Conclusions. The potential of reproductive insurance in the Russian market is practically not disclosed. The theory of reproductive insurance is not developed. It is proposed to eliminate the definitive chaos, to revise the map of insured reproductive risks for the subsequent expansion of the range of the market, insurers to show social responsibility in a segment strategically important for the interests of the nation.

The relevance of the presented article is due to the complexity and ambiguity of the course of reforms in Russia associated with the modernization of previous economic relations, systems, structures, institutions and their replacement by new ones, adequate to the challenges and threats to the sustainable economic development of the country in the context of globalization, political contradictions, sanctions from Western countries. One of the reasons for the failure of the ongoing economic transformations in the country is the removal of the state from participation in the financing of the real economy and the regulation of socio-economic processes. A new direction is being developed in management theory, the peculiarity of which is based on the use of chaos theory to analyze the dynamics of management processes. The aim of the research. the identification and awareness of the mechanics of chaos development will allow us to predict the likelihood of its approach, and therefore, to identify the causes and to prevent negative manifestations. Objectives. To identify the main trends in managerial processes and consider scenarios of possible development based on knowledge of the forms of managerial relationships, and to develop science-based recommendations for improving the management system. Metodology. In the conducted research the methods of comparative analysis, expert assessments, as well as methods of fuzzy logic and dynamic programming were used, which allowed to solve the tasks. Results. Decision-making associated with the management of the system as a whole, or its units, goals, objectives, conditions of control actions, as well as criteria for assessing the level of achievement of the goals are largely subjective and have a probabilistic basis. This generates fuzzy relations, probabilistic values, which over time leads to a change in the properties, goals and objectives facing the system. Conclusions. In order to achieve a goal in the process of solving management problems, it is often necessary to make major structural, personnel changes and financial investments, and the decisions made must take into account the possibility of achieving the strategic objectives facing the country, region or industry.

Relevance. The socio-economic situation of the border regions is currently considered as a locomotive for the development of border interaction and cooperation of adjacent territories. It is strategically important for Russia today to pursue an effective policy for the development of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation located near the APR countries. The purpose of the scientific article is to assess the current situation of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation, including border regions, based on the analysis of the socio-economic situation of the subjects of the district. Objectives of the research are aimed at analyzing the dynamics of socio-economic indicators characterizing the current development of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation, including its border regions for the period 2015-2019; assessing the impact of the current situation on the further development of the district. Methodology. The author used methods of assessing the current socio-economic situation, methods of statistical analysis, the method of comparison and synthesis. Results. The analysis revealed that in recent years, due to the shift in the vector of the foreign policy course of the Russian Federation, the greatest attention from the Russian authorities was directed to the support and further development of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation and their territories. The updated regulatory framework notes the importance of the strategic position and the proximity of the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation to the territories of foreign countries. However, there are a number of problems associated with achieving intermediate results regarding the development of the social and economic spheres of the regions under consideration, in particular, the migration of the indigenous population, the influx of foreign migrants from the eastern countries, the underdevelopment of infrastructure, the imperfection of the territorial management mechanism. Conclusions. The author's proposals for solving the identified problems can be measures aimed at improving the regulatory framework, bringing it closer to the documents of the neighboring partner states of the Russian Federation in the Asia-Pacific region, conducting systematic monitoring of compliance with the planned intermediate development goals aimed at achieving the final key strategic indicators, further stimulating private entrepreneurship, creating comfortable conditions for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, actively attracting foreign investment, developing foreign trade.
Use of Digital Technology Tools to Characterize Adherence to Prescription-Grade Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Therapy in Postmyocardial or Hypertriglyceridemic Patients in the DIAPAsOn Study: Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Arutyunov Gregory P , Arutyunov Alexander G , Ageev Fail T , Fofanova Tatiana V

Background

Maintaining sustained adherence to medication for optimal management of chronic noninfectious diseases, such as atherosclerotic vascular disease, is a well-documented therapeutic challenge.

Objective

The DIAPAsOn study was a 6-month, multicenter prospective observational study in the Russian Federation that examined adherence to a preparation of highly purified omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omacor) in 2167 adult patients with a history of recent myocardial infarction or endogenous hypertriglyceridemia.

Methods

A feature of DIAPAsOn was the use of a bespoke electronic patient engagement and data collection system to monitor adherence. Adherence was also monitored by enquiry at clinic visits. A full description of the study’s aims and methods has appeared in JMIR Research Protocols.

Results

The net average reduction from baseline in both total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was approximately 1 mmol/L and the net average increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 0.2 (SD 0.53) mmol/L (P<.001 for all outcomes vs baseline). The mean triglyceride level was 3.0 (SD 1.3) mmol/L at visit 1, 2.0 (SD 0.9) mmol/L at visit 2, and 1.7 (SD 0.7) mmol/L at visit 3 (P<.001 for later visits vs visit 1). The percentage of patients with a triglyceride level <1.7 mmol/L rose from 13.1% (282/2151) at baseline to 54% (1028/1905) at the end of the study. Digital reporting of adherence was registered by 8.3% (180/2167) of patients; average scores indicted poor adherence. However, a clinic-based enquiry suggested high levels of adherence. Data on health-related quality of life accrued from digitally engaged patients identified improvements among patients reporting high adherence to study treatment, but patient numbers were small.

Conclusions

The lipid and lipoprotein findings indicate that Omacor had nominally favorable effects on the blood lipid profile. Less than 10% of patients enrolled in DIAPAsOn used the bespoke digital platform piloted in the study, and the level of self-reported adherence to medication by these patients was also low. Reasons for this low uptake and adherence are unclear. Better adherence was recorded in clinical reports.
