Published: April 2022

Indonesians are currently well familiar with oyster mushroom cultivation. However, there are various issues with cultivation. Omah Jamur Ungaran in Semarang Regency likewise has same problem. The issue is that the mushroom house's production is not optimum because controlling humidity is still done manually, by turning on the pump if the temperature and humidity are not ideal. This causes the mushroom house's humidity to fluctuate. Moreover, the pump's electrical consumption is erratic. This service activity's objective is to provide an automatic device to control humidity and temperature in the mushroom house for optimal mushroom production. The method is to employ IoT technology. The community service determined that the temperature and humidity management system in the oyster mushroom production room can be automated, with the sprayer pump turning on when the temperature reaches 29º C and off when the temperature reaches 28.5º C. Furthermore, using the Thingspeak platform, MSME owners may automatically monitor the temperature and humidity of the mushroom production room.

Psychoanalysis as Torat Hayim
Authors: Bielik-Robson Agata
Published: April 2022

Is there any reason for calling psychoanalysis a ‘Jewish science’? There is one, particularly significant: the affirmation of the act of birth thanks to which there emerges a new individual psychic life. In this article, I argue that the psychoanalysis which takes a positive view on the issue of separation is natalistic: it offers a particular philosophy of life, which chimes with the existential tenets of Jewish tradition. The Jewishness of psychoanalysis would thus manifest itself not so much in being a ‘science’, but in the way in which it follows the Jewish torat hayim, the ‘teaching of life’. The gist of this teaching lies in the specific attitude towards the human condition of natality: instead of trying to undo the trauma of birth, the Jewish singular life walks away from the place of its origin and never indulges in the phantasy of virtual return.
Psychoanalysis, Jews and History
Authors: Herman David
Published: April 2022

The early accounts of Freud’s life and the history of psychoanalysis tended to marginalise Jewishness and antisemitism. It is not that Ernest Jones, Henri F. Ellenberger and Richard Wollheim excluded them altogether. There were passing references to Freud’s Jewish background in Moravia, antisemitism in late nineteenth-century Vienna, his largely Jewish circle, his fascination with Moses and the psychoanalytic exodus after the Anschluss in 1938. However, there was a big shift after the 1980s and ’90s in the historiography of psychoanalysis. First, there was a growing interest in the culture and politics of fin-de-siècle Vienna and in Budapest and Prague. Second, there was a growing interest in the world of Jewish Orthodoxy in central and east Europe and its influence on Freud’s generation, and a new concern with antisemitism and race in nineteenth-century medical science and how psychoanalysis can be seen as a response to these new discourses.
Psychoanalyst, Jew, Woman, Wife, Mother, Emigrant
Authors: Naszkowska Klara
Published: April 2022

At least seventy-two first- and second-generation women psychoanalysts emigrated to the United States as Nazism came to dominate Europe. There – largely in Vienna, Berlin and Zurich – from the early 1900s to the beginning of the Second World War, they had been at the forefront of the psychoanalytic movement; after emigrating, they were decisive in shaping the development of Freudian theory and practice in the US. Their contributions notwithstanding, today they are neglected and at risk of being marginalised or falling into oblivion. Using both historical materials and personal-history documents, including memoirs, interviews, correspondence and personal communications, this article revives and reconstructs the individual and professional biographies of eight first-generation analysts – Frances Deri, Helene Deutsch, Salomea Gutmann-Isakower, Clara Happel, Karen Horney, Flora Kraus, Mira Oberholzer-Gincburg and Christine Olden – and focuses on their complex multiple identities as professional women (the Jewish New Women of their milieu), pioneers of psychoanalysis, Jews, refugees, German-speaking emigrants, mothers and more.
Jonathan Sacks
Authors: Bayfield Tony
Published: April 2022

Jonathan Sacks and I had known each other from Cambridge in the 1960s. We maintained a unique working relationship throughout our careers, despite the enflamed intra-communal divide. That enables me to move beyond obituary hyperbole to respectful assessment. This article is framed by a cartoon of two-headed Sacks. He succeeded as none before him in establishing Judaism as a wise and cogent voice in the public square. He was a towering intellectual who contributed as no rabbi before him in the UK to public policy. Sacks was less successful in his equally cherished aim of holding together the mainstream United Synagogue and authoritarian ultra-Orthodoxy. He never gave up, but any softening of the line between Orthodoxy and Reform he may have once wished for was sacrificed to this overriding objective. Sacks only once ventured, unconvincingly, into theology. But his personal relationship with me took precedence over past behaviour when attending my wife’s funeral.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: The presence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in breast cancer has been reported, suggesting a potential association between HCMV infection and breast carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between HCMV infection and immune activation and inflammatory markers in breast cancer. METHODS: HCMV DNA was detected from all patients using real-time PCR, Anti HCMV IgM and IgG antibodies were measured. IL-17 and IL-22 concentrations were detected by ELISA. Assessment of NLR and PLR was done, and cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay. RESULTS: The results revealed a significantly increased prevalence of anti-HCMV IgG and HCMV DNA in patients compared to both benign and control groups where positive HCMV prevalence was significantly associated with vascular invasion, proliferation rate, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and elevated IL-17 serum level. Furthermore, we demonstrated that increased serum IL-17 in patients was markedly associated with tumor stage, vascular invasion, and high NLR. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that HCMV infection may have vital roles in breast cancer pathogenesis. Moreover, altered peripheral blood cells and cytokines may result in disordered immune response in breast cancer patients.
Value of red cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio as a predictor for morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care unit
Authors: Wang Haiyan , Wang Yuchun , Liang Xiuying , Zhang Chunyan , Guo Binfang
Published: April 2022

Scoring neonatal acute physiology is significant for improving the survival rate of neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Red blood cell distribution width to platelet ratio (RPR) has been used to evaluate physiology of multiple diseases. However, the value of RPR as a predictor for morbidity and mortality in NICU remains unclear. The score for neonatal acute physiology and perinatal extension II (SNAPE-II) was used to evaluate the physiology and separate neonates into Mild (n = 45), Moderate (n = 45) and Severe (n = 45) groups. White blood cell count (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in cord blood were examine. Spearman’s correlation and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed to demonstrated the correlations of these indicators. There was a positive correlation between the SNAPE-II scores and RPR in neonates in NICU. The WBC, PCT and CRP levels increased with the upregulation of SNAPE-II scores in neonates in NICU and there were positive correlations between RPR and WBC, PCT and CRP, respectively. RPR could be used as a supplementary predictor for the evaluation of neonatal morbidity and mortality in NICU beside SNAPE-II.

Published: April 2022

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with a high risk for venous and arterial thrombosis due to hypercoagulability. Integral tests designed to assess hemostasis can become an alternative for measuring hypercoagulability in patients with NS. STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess hemostatic disorders in CGN patients complicated by NS using the thrombodynamics test. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 adult patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN), mean age 37 years, 31 (52%) women, and 29 (48%) men. Among all patients, 53 % of patients had NS, 47 % had no sign of NS. Hemostasis was assessed using the thrombodynamics test. The results were compared with biochemical parameters, which are usually associated with NS and renal dysfunction. RESULTS: According to the thrombodynamics test, CGN patients with NS demonstrated a tendency to hypercoagulability: increased rates of V (rate of clot growth), increased D (clot density), and increased CS (clot size) after 30 minutes. A positive correlation of these parameters with the serum albumin, creatinine levels, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicates the influence of severe NS and renal dysfunction on the hemostasis activation in CGN patients with NS. CONCLUSION: According to the thrombodynamics test, CGN patients with NS demonstrate increased rates of clot formation, increased clot size after 30 minutes, and increased clot density due to secondary hemostasis activation. These changes positively correlate with the severity of hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and renal dysfunction in NS patients.

Plasma phosphorylated tau species have been recently proposed as peripheral markers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. In this cross-sectional study including 91 subjects, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau181 and p-tau231 levels were elevated in the early symptomatic stages of AD. Plasma p-tau231 and p-tau181 were strongly related to CSF phosphorylated tau, total tau and amyloid and exhibited a high accuracy—close to CSF p-tau231 and p-tau181—to identify AD already in the early stage of the disease. The findings might support the use as diagnostic and prognostic peripheral AD biomarkers in both research and clinical settings.
Optimization of the processing conditions for producing osmo-dehydrated arazá (Eugenia stipitata, McVaugh) and evaluation of its antioxidant content and activity
Authors: Reyes-Alvarez Camilo Andrés , Gamboa-Santos Juliana , Lanari María Cecilia
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Arazá, a tropical berry rich in thermolabile antioxidants (ascorbic-acid/phenolics/flavonoids/carotenoids), is a potential ingredient for preparing functional foods; however, its high perishability hinders its industrial application. Osmotic-dehydration (OD), a processing method that operates at low temperature ranges, may be adequate for improving arazá's shelf-life without reducing its palatability/nutritional quality. Physicochemical and nutritional properties depend on the time/temperature/osmotic-solution concentration applied; therefore, parameters optimization is required. Processing selection must also consider treatment effect on antioxidants composition/activity/bioaccessibility in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, key factors in bioactives health benefits. OBJECTIVES: a) Optimize OD duration/temperature/sucrose concentration to maximize process efficiency/total-polyphenol content/overall-acceptability using principal component analysis and Response-Surface-Methodology/Desirability-Function. b) Determine OD effect on antioxidant content/activity/bioaccessibilities before and after gastro-intestinal digestion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Processing conditions have opposite effects on sensory and chemical properties; reaching antioxidant content/activity highest levels in the osmo-dehydrated fruit required 60 min/20°Bx; whereas, the best organoleptic scores demanded 180 min/60°Bx. Although osmotic-drying reduced the fruit's antioxidant content/activity 39–76%, the process improved antioxidants bioaccessibilities, since these values were: 63–85% (untreated fruit) and 72–90% (osmodehydrated arazá (ODA)), whereas the activity retention levels were 67–76% (untreated fruit/ODA).
CLSA-CapsNet: Dependency based concept level sentiment analysis for text
Authors: Mahendhiran P.D. , Subramanian Kannimuthu
Published: April 2022

The refining of information from the immense amount of unstructured data on the internet can be a critical issue in identifying public opinion. It is difficult to extract relevant concepts from huge amounts of data. Concept level semantic parsing is improved over word-based investigation as it conserves the semantical data relevant to many-word articulations. The semantic proposals offer a superior comprehension of textual data and serve to altogether precision the exactness of numerous mining operations in text assignments. The extraction of concepts from textual data is a significant step forward in content analysis at the concept stage. We present a CLSA-CapsNet method that extracts concepts from natural language text. Then the extracted concepts are applied in Capsule networks (CapsNet). Moreover, the integration of Concept Level Sentiment Analysis (CLSA) and Capsule Networks (CapsNet) has not yet been implemented on the hotel review dataset. This is the first attempt, which we researched and embraced by the capsule network, to develop classification models for hotel reviews. The developed results demonstrated excellent performance with a prediction accuracy of 86.6% for CLSA-CapsNet models, respectively. Various similarities have also been made across our techniques and they are implemented by some other deep learning algorithms, such as rnn-lstm. Overall, the outstanding success obtained by CLSA-CapsNet in this investigation highlights its ability in the hotel review dataset. We likewise show exploratory outcomes, in which the proposed system outpaced the state-of-the-art CLSA-CapsNet model.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: We aimed to explore the epidemiology and evolution of pathogens, antibiotic susceptibility, and mortality rate in cases of neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) reported over a period of 12 years in a level III neonatal center in Central Taiwan. METHODS: Patients’ medical records in a neonatal center from 2007 to 2018 were reviewed to obtain information on infants with culture-proven EOS, which included pathogens found in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid cultures. RESULTS: The incidence of neonatal EOS during this period was 2.11 cases/1,000 admissions. Group B streptococcal (GBS) and Escherichia coli were the most common pathogens. The overall rates of GBS and E. coli infections were 0.68/1,000 and 0.77/1,000 live births, respectively. The incidence of EOS in infants with a birth weight ≥1,500 g decreased significantly with decreasing incidence of GBS-related sepsis. The incidence of EOS remained high in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants and increased over time. There was an increasing trend in of E. coli infection and emergence of drug-resistant strains. In addition, E. coli sepsis had high mortality in VLBW infants. CONCLUSION: Novel screening and prevention strategies against E. coli and reserving broad-spectrum antibiotics for the most critically ill or VLBW patients with maternal chorioamnionitis might help in early diagnosis and further improve the outcomes of EOS.

Published: April 2022

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are a group of allergen-mediated conditions which are characterized by eosinophilic inflammation affecting one or more parts of the gastrointestinal tract. A disproportionately higher number of EGID patients are diagnosed in the pediatric age group. Given the chronic course of EGIDs and lack of curative therapies at this time, majority of the pediatric EGID patients may require continued care well into their adulthood. However, to date, scant data are available regarding the health care transition (HCT), the transition of care (TC), and the effectiveness of transfer of care EGID patients from pediatric-oriented to adult-oriented providers. Herein, we review the lessons learnt from transfer of care of children with other chronic gastrointestinal and allergic conditions, analyze the current knowledge, potential barriers, the role of various stakeholders in successful transfer of care of EGID patients, propose a conceptual framework for HCT and TC of EGID patients, and identify outcome measures to ensure the quality of progression of care.

To this end, especially during the last decade, numerous national, regional and international aspirations, targets and commitments have been made in order to reverse the detrimental trend affecting the ocean health, which is expected to accelerate in the immediate future. Restoration actions are becoming a common strategy to speed-up the recovery pathway of degraded ecosystems. This recognition also depends on the fact that, in some cases, in addition to traditional conservation strategies (e.g. Marine Protected Areas and Maritime Spatial Planning), “active” restoration may be the only politically feasible approach able to increase the flow of marine ecosystem services to stakeholders, ensuring, at the same time, the mitigation of threats to coastal environments in a reasonable time lag. Given the time-bound target aimed to effectively protect/restore on third of global ecosystems in the upcoming decade, concrete considerations about the potential for scaling-up the restoration interventions across coastal ecosystems are required to prioritise and improve the strategies aimed to cope the urgent conservation issues faced by marine ecosystems at global scale. Here, capitalizing on the most upgraded information on restoration efforts worldwide carried out over nearly five decades, a synthetic (but not exhaustive) analysis of progresses is showed, which could helps to better address the upscaling issue of marine conservation strategies in the immediate future.

Published: April 2022

There is a need for consistency in water management across scales and sectors, which motivated this paper to formulate a “proactive” retrofit vision seeking to integrate net-positive, sustainable and regenerative design concepts. Since the Planetary Boundaries framework is the key communication tool from scientific knowledge to political instruments (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals), water-related topics are revised accordingly. It is suggested that the role of water management in Climate Change is largely overlooked, which, in turn, is demonstrated to be the driver of change and, at the same time, impacted by these changes. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the link between water-related carbon footprint and energy use presents the Climate Change community with a valuable opportunity to better manage two of the most valuable resources. A new approach is suggested by distinguishing water quality, quantity, and water state. So that beyond qualitative and quantitative goals, the physical state of water, which depends on hydrogen bonding, should help improve water management across scales. Understating water complexity shall facilitate communication raising awareness that every action creates a legacy. Overall, this study strengthens the idea that science-based strategies require better communication where biogeochemical science may serve a model to make knowledge more available to educators and policymakers.

THE DATA WE NEED FOR THE OCEAN WE WANT TO PREDICT: A BRAZILIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Peres Teixeira Carlos Eduardo
Published: April 2022

A Predicted Ocean is one of the UN Ocean Decade goals. Ocean observations and numerical simulations of the ocean circulation are at the heart of this outcome. Numerical models are used to understand the present and predict future ocean states, but also the human impact on it, among many other uses. However, its results are only a representation of reality, and we need to validate the numerical model outputs with observational data before using them. Considering its coast extension and the marine economic importance, Brazil does not collect enough physical ocean data and we have only a few real-time observation systems. Unfortunately, due to the COVID and the current national science budget crisis, the number of real-time observations has been further reduced. From a positive perspective, I must believe that this situation will change. We need to be prepared to convince the stakeholders of the importance of observing systems to our society and secure a budget in that regard. This is the way to better predict our oceans.

HOW CARBON IMMOBILIZATION FROM RESTORED MARINE FORESTS MAY HELP CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION PLANS?
Authors: Rossi Sergio
Published: April 2022

The ocean transformation due to the direct or indirect human influence is a fact. One of the most affected ecosystems are the benthic ones, where bottom trawling, urban/agricultural development and climate change (among other things) deeply transform the bottom communities. Among these threatened communities, the marine forest is the most extended. The marine forest is composed of benthic macroalgae, phanerogams and suspension feeders (sponges, corals, gorgonians, etc.) which conform three-dimensional living structures. Coral reefs, seaweeds, sponge grounds, seagrasses, oyster banks, cold water corals are some examples of this vast set of ecosystems dispersed all over the world. During the last two decades, the concept of Blue Carbon has been consolidated, describing the stocked carbon in vegetated coastal and marine habitats such as mangroves, salt marshes, seagrasses and seaweeds. There are also world-wide numbers about how much carbon is retained in the terrestrial forests, crops and soils. These systems act as carbon immobilizers from which we have proxies. Can we design and apply an ambitious shallow and deep marine forest restoration plan to help climate change mitigation? The aim of thispaper is developing a simplified realistic calculation of the role as carbon immobilizers of a restored marine forests in one area as a case study, setting up a huge restoration plan to help mitigating climate change, enhancing carbon retention. A shallow (10-30 meters depth) restoration plan of the marine animal forests with new technologies based on symbiotic artificial reefs, enhancing the role as carbon immobilizers and creating a protocol to help the climate change mitigation, is explained, using realistic numbers to calculate the real impact of such regenerative plan. Is time to have a much more applied and holistic view of what is in the ocean’s floors in terms of habitat composition, complexity and biomass stocks, implementing new methods and technologies that are already in our hands. It is also time to give a chance to the oceans in helping in the climate change mitigation plans applying brave new restoration approaches that may change our relation with the sea.

Published: April 2022

A group of visionary and enthusiastic people started a great project 60 years ago. Led by the young professor Melquíades Pinto Paiva, alongside the biologist Rui Simões de Menezes and the pioneering team of students formed by Hermínia de Castro Holanda, José Fausto Filho, Maria Ivone Mota and Vicente Araújo Barreto, they created the Marine Biology Station at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), today called Labomar. This project was supported by Dean Antônio Martins Filho, the first dean of the UFC. Nowadays, we are privileged to participate in the celebration of the first 60 years of Labomar and to have the opportunity to write some reflections in this regard.
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFECT OF CEFTRIAXONE AND AZITHROMYCIN IN THE MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL SETTING
Authors: Razdan Rajeev
Published: April 2022

Introduction: pneumonia can be defined as symptoms that incorporate acute lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection, comprising of cough and a minimum of one more LRT symptom, in parallel to any other ‘systemic symptom and new focal signs on chest examination. Annually, there were approximately 151.8 million cases about a decade ago and among them 8.7% (13.1 million) required hospitalization. India ranks in top five countries on basis of CAP load with more than 23% worldwide cases.

Materials and Methods: the design of this study is a Retrospective Cohort. A total of 123 patients ranging from 3 years old to 17 years old with a average of 9.90 years old, with bacterial pneumonia were included in the study. The diagnostic criteria of Infectious Disease Society of America and the British Thoracic Society were used in this study to determine the diagnosis and conclusion of the study. Out of 123 patients, 65 patients (Group 1) were given azithromycin at the initial dosage of 10 mg/kg followed by 5 mg/kg for 2 to 5 days while 58 patients (Group 2) were given ceftriaxone at the single intramuscular dose of 50 mg/kg. The clinical criteria and Likelihood criteria was determined before and after the treatment in both the groups to compare the efficiency of the two drugs. The adverse effects of the two drugs were also considered.

Result: the clinical criteria and Likelihood Ratio was determined before starting the treatment. On Day 5th,after completion of the treatment in both the groups,all the patients were again re-assessed. Group 1 showed more improvement as compared to group 2 patients as the fever in group 1 patients came down to 2.43% from 52.84% of the total number of patients. A high respiratory rate was found in 2.43% of 123 patients in the case of group 1 as compared to 4.06% of 123 patients in the case of group 2. Group 1 patients showed adverse effects like diarrhea, itching and nausea while group 2 patients showed tarry stool, sore throat and weakness as adverse effects. 12.19% of the total patients showed adverse effects from group 1 while 35.77% of the total patients showed adverse effects from group 2.

Conclusion: the study concludes that although both of the drugs used are effective in managing CAP. Azithromycin regimen has a significantly beneficial as compared to a single intramuscular dose of ceftriaxone.
