Published: July 2023

Views about marriage are changing. Factors such as culture, environment, and family also influence. Several studies show the number of people who choose not to marry has increased due to economic reasons, the trauma of divorce, or lifestyle choices. This paper aims to find a biblical perspective on a person's choice to marry or not to marry. The research used in this paper, which is a qualitative method of literature study, finds that a person's choice to marry or not to marry must be focused and based on God's will, not because of personal considerations. This paper is expected to help the church to provide guidance and biblical teaching for the congregation so that they can make decisions according to God's will.  AbstrakPandangan tentang pernikahan mengalami perubahan.

Prof. Hospital Dr. I G. N. G. Ngoerah, which was formerly known as the Sanglah Central General Hospital (RSUP), is the largest Covid-19 referral hospital in Denpasar City. Moreover, this hospital is the most complete hospital with equipment, and is classified as a type A hospital. So, during a Covid-19 pandemic like this, health workers are the spearhead in efforts to deal with Covid-19. Therefore, health workers who are directly involved, such as Covid-19 isolation room workers, are very vulnerable to experiencing work to family conflict. This is due to high work risks and work demands or work demand. Recognizing the important role of health workers, the government pays special attention to health workers through incentives. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of work demand on work to family conflict, as well as the role of incentives in mediating the effect of work demand on work to family conflict experienced by health workers at the Covid-19 referral hospital Prof. Dr. I G.N.G. Ngoerah. This research is an explanatory research, with three variables, namely work demand, incentives, and work to family conflict. The research population was all health workers at the Covid-19 Referral Hospital Prof. Dr. I G. N. G. Ngoerah in Denpasar. There are 75 health workers who are directly involved in handling Covid-19, considering that the total population is still below 100, so the sample in this study was determined to be a saturated sample, the data collected was then tabulated and analyzed using the SEM-PLS analysis technique. The results of the analysis show that work demand has a direct positive and significant effect on work to family conflict. It turns out that incentives do not significantly moderate the effect of work demand on work family conflict, and incentives are a predictor variable (predictor moderation).

Stuart Hall's Reception Analysis Theory (Encoding-Decoding) has a model with three categories: Dominant Position, Negotiated Position, and Oppositional Position. The data collection technique in this research used in-depth interviews with ten informants. The research results show the shared meaning of the mythical messages about the Maghrib exit ban in the film Sandekala is different. It happens because the decoding that informants produce varies according to factors of gender, age, religion, ethnicity and culture. There are other factors, such as the level of individual beliefs in myths in society, especially the Maghrib exit ban. The study concludes that ten informants and eight questions in this research obtained thirty-six shared meanings of Dominant Position, seventeen of Negotiated Position and twenty-seven of Oppositional position to the mythical messages of the Maghrib exit ban in the film Sandekala. In this study, as a whole, the most shared meaning is found in the dominant position.

Applying the systematic review method, we found 28 studies on satisfaction with training quality. Screening and excluding inappropriate studies, we have 10 studies that are used for analysis in this article. The results of the analysis show satisfaction studies conducted at an educational institution or a particular discipline. The convenience sampling method along with data collection techniques by email and direct survey is the method used by many selection studies. The type of research the authors used is mainly a cross-sectional study combining quantitative and qualitative. Through the analysis of reliability tests, exploratory factor analysis and multivariable regression, the authors have assessed the impact of these factors on learners' satisfaction with the quality of training create. Through these studies, we find that the factor "Training program" is the factor that has the strongest impact on learners' satisfaction and satisfaction is not affected by characteristics such as gender, age, and other characteristics other points of the learner. Finally, we also noted that in Vietnam, there is no unified model built based on the set of criteria for evaluating the training quality of the Ministry of Education and Training. Therefore, education and training management institutions and experts in this field need to research to come up with an optimal model for assessing satisfaction with the quality of training for learners.
Antimicrobial Resistance: A Misuse or Overuse of Antibiotics?

The effectiveness of antibiotics in treating infections in patients is declining as antibiotic-resistant bacteria become alarmingly powerful. We might be failing to understand the cliche that the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is caused by the overuse and abuse of antibiotics. The high cost of pharmaceuticals serves as an example of the failure of the current system. One medicine costs over $5 billion and takes 15 years to create. There is minimal input into the open-loop system that produces new medications. Because pharmaceuticals are not tailored, this ineffective method produces drugs that are dangerous to the majority of the target population and only work for a small portion of that population. This issue can only be resolved by a complete return to nature rather than by just increasing R&D spending.

Published: July 2023

The study investigated the impact of transnational trade on economic growth in Nigeria. To achieve the purpose of the study, transnational trade was disaggregated into: oil import, oil export, non-oil import, non-oil export, trade openness, foreign direct investment share of real gross domestic product and real effective exchange rate and regressed on economic growth proxied by growth rate of real GDP. Data on the variables above were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical Bulletin and the World Bank database. The data were analysed using the Autoregressive and Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach due to the mixed order of stationarity of the variables. The results indicate that in the short run, non-oil export has positive and significant impact on economic growth while oil import and FDI share of real GDP have negative and significant effect on economic growth. The long run result shows that: oil import has direct and insignificant effect on growth while non-oil import, non-oil export, FDI share of real GDP and real effective exchange rate have negative and insignificant impact on economic growth. From the results the study concludes that transnational trade has serious implication on economic growth in the short run and less effect on economic growth in the long run in Nigeria over the period of this study. Based on these findings, the study suggests that policies should be geared toward increase in non-oil export, reduction in oil import, review of FDI inflow policies and trade liberalization as possible ways of improving the productive capacity of the Nigerian economy.

Agriculture is the economic sector that consumes around 70 % of the total water extracted globally, considering itself a victim of its own inefficiency. The present work was oriented to look for irrigation alternatives that allow a greater productivity of water. The trial was carried out at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Technical University of Machala, Ecuador. The amount of water applied to the corn crop through furrow and drip irrigation was evaluated. The treatments were: furrow irrigation, superficial drip irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation at 20 cm. The trial had a surface area of 450 m2, in a completely randomized block experimental design with three treatments and three repetitions. The control of the irrigation regime was carried out through tensiometers installed for each treatment. The volume of water applied and the dry grain yield in irrigation by furrows was 3,484 m3.ha-1 and 9,175 kg.ha-1, for surface drip irrigation of 1,452 m3.ha-1 and 10,200 kg.ha-1, and for subsurface drip irrigation it was 1,237 m3.ha-1 and 10,181.2 kg.ha-1. The water productivity for the furrow irrigation treatment was 2.63 kg.m-3, for surface drip irrigation it was 7.02 kg.m-3 and for subsurface drip irrigation at 20 cm it was 8.23 kg.m-3 being the highest productivity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): What are the Impacts for Medicine?
Authors:   Holistic Center, 13 Haupt St, Abtwil 9030, Switzerland, Manfred Doepp
Published: July 2023

AI is our destiny, no one can prevent it anymore, just as it was with the Industrial Revolution of about 200 years ago or the introduction of computers a few decades ago. Nevertheless, there are many warning voices not to allow its eventual domination over humanity and its abuse. This issue also arises in medicine, where AI is in many ways superior to physicians. This concerns their extreme memory for information, their speed, their flexibility, and their ability to combine information. What can medicine do? Medical personnel should extend the qualities that are unique to humans: caring, empathy, intuition, inspiration, and above all, love. Those who have a narrowed consciousness and can be manipulated will be replaced by AI. Those who have a wide and open consciousness can become partners of the AI. This, by the way, concerns the whole humanity, whose division into these two groups is going on at present. The establishment of the AI is thus an immense but necessary challenge for all of us.

Published: July 2023

Human serum albumin(HAS) is important for the body, as it performs a set of functions such as maintaining osmotic pressure inside cells, transporting drugs and ions, and others. The fraudulent process of such preparations may lead to the deterioration of the patient's health condition and sometimes death. In the current study, two types of albumin preparations that were not authorized by the Yemeni ministry of health and entered the country through smuggling were studied. The results of the study proved that these preparations were exposed to high temperatures, so that denaturation of HSA, in addition to the oxidation process of the substance N-acetyl-tryptophan. The reverse phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to assess HSA, a gradient elution (a combination of acetonitrile/water, supplemented with 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid) was used to separate samples on a C4 (n-butyl-coated silica) column. Two main peaks were observed at 4.970 and 10.850 min, representing the stabilizer N-acetyl-tryptophan (N-Ac-Trp) and HSA respectively. Validation of the method demonstrated that HSA can be determined in an accurate and precise manner, in a range between 0.1 and 5g/ml, without the interference of matrix ingredients. The limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) values were 0.23 and 0.72 g /ml, respectively. The results of the study proved that these preparations do not meet the quality specifications of the World Health Organization, in addition to exposure to temperatures and bad storage leading to oxidation. The results of the analysis of all samples were less than the permissible limit because each sample must contain 10 grams per 50 ml.

Published: July 2023

In Yemen, most of the medicines are imported. Drugs that enter the country by legal means undergo some tests by Supreme Board for Drugs and Medical Appliances (SBDMA) to evaluate the quality of the product. However, some medicines enter the country illegally (smuggling) and this makes them bypass the evaluation of their quality by the SBDMA. This work was carried out to determine the physical quality control parameters of authorized and smuggled drug products marketed in Aden pharmacies. The authorized and smuggled brands of cefuroxime (CEF), atorvastatin (ATR), and carvedilol (CAR) tablets available in Aden pharmacies were selected. The tablets were evaluated for their physical properties and quality control parameters including weight variation, hardness, friability, and disintegration test. The level of drug content also was evaluated using UV spectroscopy. The physical assessment showed that the authorized and smuggled brands of the same products were uniform in shape, color, packing, and labeling information except for the registration number and manufacture date which were present only on the authorized brands. The three authorized and smuggled brands of CEF, ATR, and CAR complied with the official specifications for weight version, diameter, thickness and hardness, friability, and disintegration tests except for the hardness value of ATR. All authorized brands agreed with the label claims whereas some smuggled brands contained the appropriate active ingredients but did not contain the right amounts.

Published: July 2023

Fresh and raw vegetables may play a significant role in transmission of intestinal parasitic infections to humans. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the level of parasitic contamination in vegetables which are consumed raw in Aden governorate, Yemen. This is a descriptive analytic cross-sectional study in which six local markets were randomly selected. A total of 216 fresh vegetable samples including parsley (Petroselinum sativum), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), leek (Allium porrum), green onion (Allium cepa), and tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum) were purchased from the selected markets and analysed using direct and iodine wet mount smear preparation. Modified Ziehl–Neelsen staining and Zinc sulphate flotation method were also used. Smears were examined by under the light microscope. Out of 216 vegetable samples, 166 (76.9%) were contaminated with one or more parasites. Parsley was the most contaminated (97.2%), followed by watercress (94.4%), lettuce (88.9%), leek (80.6%), green onion (77.8%), whereas the least contamination rate was in tomato (22.2%). Statistically significant difference in parasitic contamination rate was found between different types of vegetables (P < 0.05). The most common parasite was Ascaris lumbricoides 75 (24.4%), followed by cyst of Entamoeba histolytica/dispar 64 (20.9%), and Entamoeba coli 52 (16.8%). Significant difference was reported in prevalence rate between different parasitic species (????< 0.05). Vegetable samples collected from Dar Saad market, show the highest contamination rate (94.4%) while vegetables collected from Al Mansura market showed the lowest contamination rate(50.0%). However, the parasitic contamination rates were not significantly different for samples collected from different markets. This study highlighted the importance of raw vegetables as the potential source of transmission for intestinal parasites to humans. Prevention methods such as proper washing or cooking of vegetables before consumption should be conveyed to consumers. In addition, comprehensive health education and hygienic practices, including washing hands after handling vegetables, should be provided to sellers and consumers.

This descriptive quantitative research determined the effectiveness of the Block Scheduling Scheme (BSS) vis-à-vis the Paulinian Remote Flexible Learning Experience (ReFLEx) scheme in St. Paul University Surigao as perceived by the college students during the academic year 2022-2023. Validated researcher-made questionnaires were administered to the 322 college students at St. Paul University Surigao who were randomly selected. Then, the Frequency Count and Percentage Distribution, Mean & Standard Deviation, Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and Mann-Whitney U-test were all employed in order to analyze the gathered data. Findings revealed that the most valuable contributors to this study were mostly 20–21 years old and were females. As to the effectiveness, the college students deemed described that the block scheduling scheme of the University vis-à-vis the Paulianian ReFLEx is highly effective with respect to the assessment of learning station, while moderately effective with respect to the independent, collaborative, and interactive teacher-directed learning stations. In relation, the indicators of the effectiveness of the BSS therefore have positively influenced the students' learning experiences at St. Paul University Surigao. Moving further, there were significant differences in the college students' perceptions of the effectiveness of BSS with respect to their college departments vis-à-vis the independent, collaborative, and interactive teacher-directed learning stations under the ReFLEx modality. Also, there was a significant difference in the college students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the BSS with respect to sex vis-à-vis the assessment of learning station under the ReFLEx modality. In the end, the college students insinuated that BSS is deemed effective in enhancing student engagement, promoting in-depth learning, and facilitating greater independent learning, interactive teacher-directed learning, and collaboration among students. Given these significant results, the Paulinian institution should look into how to close the gaps identified in the study and further improve the implementation of the BSS vis-à-vis ReFLEx with respect to the independent, collaborative, and interactive teacher-directed learning stations to become highly effective. Moreover, the institution should continue regularly evaluating the effectiveness of BSS vis-à-vis the Paulinian ReFLEx to consistently determine the achievement of learning outcomes through the implementation of BSS with ReFLEx.

Pharmaceutical Applications for MANNITOL: An Overview
Authors: Nagavalli D. , Nanthagopal P.
Published: July 2023

This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Mannitol is one of the most abundant energy and carbon storage molecules in nature, produced by a plethora of organisms, including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, algae, lichens, and many plants. Mannitol can be used for the reduction of intracranial pressure and brain mass, to reduce intraocular pressure if this is not achievable by other means, to promote diuresis for acute renal failure to prevent or treat the oliguric phase before irreversible damage, and to promote diuresis to promote excretion of toxic substances, materials, and metabolites. There are also multiple uses of mannitol that are FDA-approved. This activity will highlight the mechanism of action, adverse event profile, pharmacology, monitoring, and relevant interactions of mannitol, pertinent for interprofessional team members in treating patients with conditions where it is of clinical value. Mannitol then constitutes a new solute in the plasma, which increases the tonicity of the plasma. Since mannitol cannot cross the intact blood-brain barrier, the increased tonicity from the mannitol draws water out of the brain parenchyma and into the intravascular space. Mannitol may also be used for the promotion of diuresis before irreversible renal failure becomes established; the promotion of urinary excretion of toxic substances; as an Antiglaucoma agent; and as a renal function diagnostic aid.

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not make or properly utilize the insulin, a hormone that is required to convert blood sugar, starches, and other food into energy by circulate the glucose from blood into the body cells”. People are going on making new drugs and new formulations of the existing drugs within very short period of time. To get the regulatory permission for marketing, company has to submit required data including the analysis reports as to prove that their drug product is of required quality for its intended use. T2DM, the predominant type of diabetes accounting for >90% of all diabetes cases, is a progressive disease involving parallel defects of glucose metabolism in multiple tissues. Common risk factors for T2DM include increasing age, smoking, being overweight or obese, physical inactivity and poor nutrition. Ertugliflozin is an oral, selective inhibitor of sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) which inhibits renal glucose reabsorption and results in urinary glucose excretion (UGE) and reductions in plasma glucose and haemoglobin A1c (A1C) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).The present developed analytical method was developed using 0.1% Formic acid in water: 0.1% Formic acid in ACN as the mobile phase. The developed method was found to be sensitive and time and cost effective with the reduced the use of organic chemicals in the mobile phase. Improved stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed for the estimation of ertugliflozin. Retention times compared to the best method reported. The developed method could be suitable for routine analysis of the drugs in bulk and tablet formulation after complete validation as per ICH guideline.
