Published: February 2023

Purpose: Many infectious and congenital diseases caused by bacteria and viruses affect the health of both mother and fetus. Today, an epidemic with the common name TORCH affects women during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Method: The current study investigates the pathogens and routes of transmission and the percentage of antibodies in the blood against toxoplasma, rubella and cytomegalovirus. The first 20 weeks usually develop in pregnant women and can be fatal if the infection is passed on to the fetus. Although these infectious diseases cannot be adequately treated, several vaccines are being introduced into the pharmaceutical industry to treat pregnant women during pregnancy and prevent fetal death. Results: Data were collected from the Liaquat Jamshoro School of Medicine and Department of Public Health Pathology in affected women and summarized as follows. Transmission of cytomegalovirus and rubella is most common compared to toxoplasma. A CMIA test (chemiluminescent micro particle immunoassay) was performed to obtain highly accurate data on the responsible IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood of pregnant women. In this case, CMIA is considered very reliable. Conclusion: Throughout the study, it was observed that these viruses can cause fetal malformations or ultimately death if left untreated in pregnant women. It is said to spread knowledge about the treatment and struggle of disease. Keywords: CMV; CMIA; Rubella; TORCH; Toxoplasma;

Authors: K Grinberg , A Gonen
Published: February 2023

Background: Myocardial Infarction (M.I) is a Heart disease that considered as one of the most serious problems of the modern world and is one of Israel's leading causes of death. Patients who survived the heart attack are likely to face a new challenge of recovery and to adapt to chronic illness. The perception of the disease may affect the way of the patients' way of coping with chronic illness and their quality of life.

Aim: Examing the relationship between the Illness Perception of patients after acute

Myocardial Infarction (M.I) and their Quality of Life

Methods: The sample included 110 respondents, post M.I The data was collected by questionnaires: The illness perception and the Multi-dimensional quality of life. 

Results: Findings indicate that the more sense of negative disease perception in the eyes of M.I patients, there is lower quality of life. Furthermore, there are significant positive correlations between some of the illness perception components and quality of life of M.I patients.

Conclusion: It seems that the way that patients perceive and conceptualize their heart disease, is one of the factors that affect their quality of life. The identification of adaptive illness perceptions and accordingly, the treatment plans, may make it easier to M.I patients to cooperate throughout all stages of their recovery, and to adapt themselves to chronic illness

Authors: Mwenda C S Dr. Mutunga , A Kangethe , A. K Maranga
Published: February 2023

Mental illness is a global health crisis which results in significant morbidity and is a major factor that influences the social determinants of health of individuals, families and communities. To deal with this health crisis, mentally sick patients have to be admitted in psychiatric hospitals for management. In Kenya, the  Mental  Health  Act  cap 248 (Laws of Kenya) prescribes  procedures  that must  be  followed  in  the  admission  of  patients to a mental health hospital. Nurses, among other health care workers have a great role in the provision of the initial care of    the mentally ill patients presenting in various outpatient departments. This calls for the nurses to be skillful when handling the mentally ill patients at the OPD, during admission. 

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge on admission procedures among nurses working at the National Teaching and Referral hospital.

Methods and material: This was a descriptive cross-sectional, with national hospital being purposively selected since it admits mentally sick patients who have been referred from different parts of the country. Systematic sampling was used to select the sample size of 132 nurses for the purposes of documenting their knowledge and attitude on admission procedures while purposive sampling was used to observe nurses for the purposes of documenting their admission practices at the outpatient department. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to document the knowledge of the nurses whereas predetermined checklist was used to document observations made at the outpatient department in relation to patient admission process. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 and presented in form of charts, tables and narratives.

Findings: Results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents 69% were knowledgeable regarding admission of voluntary patients to psychiatric units, although most of the respondents, 79.7%  displayed knowledge deficit in relation to discharge of voluntary admission patients from psychiatric units.  About 31% of the respondents lacked knowledge on the admission procedures for voluntary patients. The results also demonstrated that some of the respondents were utilizing the prescribed patient admission procedures while others were not.  Various challenges to the implementation of the prescribed admission procedures were also identified by the respondents. 

Recommendations: The study recommended that the hospital management should ensure that most of the nurses who work in the institution have specialization in psychiatric nursing. In house education on patient admission and discharge procedures should be carried out to reach the nurses who lacked knowledge in this aspect.

Published: February 2023

Hirsutism affects a woman's social and quality of life in our society. The burden and magnitude of this effect vary from population to population. A local study was designed to determine the burden on our population. The Objective of this Cross-Sectional study was to determine the frequency of very large and extremely large effects on quality of life using Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in hirsute women presenting to Jinnah Hospital,Lahore. This study was conducted at the Outpatient Department of dermatology Jinnah hospital Lahore from 13th May 2014 to 12th November 2014. Females with hirsutism and age ranging from 18 to 49 years were included in the study. Hirsutism was labeled if the woman had Ferriman-Gallway (F-G) score ≥ 8 or one area score equal to 4, determined by clinical examination. Quality of life was determined using Dermatology Life Quality Index and waslabeled as having a very large and extremely large effect if DLQI scores were 11-20 and 21-30, respectively. The marital and educational status will be used to stratify data and dig out effect modification. Two hundred twenty patients included in our study had a mean age of 26.38± 5.58 years ranging from 12 to 42 years. The mean Ferriman-Gallway score was 15.45± 3.5, while the mean DLQI score was 18± 5.09. Diagnosis of included women was Hyperprolactinemia (4/220, 1.8%), Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (5/220, 2.3%), Ovarian Tumors (8/220, 3.6%), Polycystic Ovarian Disease (135/220, 61.4%) and others (68/220, 30.9%). 97% of the included patients had some formal education. 124 (56.4%) were Unmarried, 94 (42.7%) were married, while 2 (0.9%) were divorced. On DLQI, an Extremely Large Effect was present in 85 (38.6%), a Very Large effect in 115 (52.3%) while Small Effect was observed in 20 patients. There is no effect of cause or diagnosis, marital status, or educational status of thesampled population. It is concluded that the frequency of Extremely Large Effect and Very  Large effect wasobserved in more than half of the study population with hirsutism. The high burden of Extremely Large Effect on quality of life necessitates emotional and psychological rehabilitation as well as pharmacological and cosmetic methods in treating these patients.

Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Extensive research collaborations exist between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), although prior work has raised concerns regarding equitable representation among LMIC authors. The goal of this bibliometric analysis was to characterize LMIC authorship among indexed orthopaedic journals and identify factors contributing to disparities in representation.

Methods:

We identified all articles appearing in orthopaedic journals indexed in MEDLINE and Journal Citation Reports with a focus on LMICs or cohorts between 2009 and 2018. All articles describing research conducted in LMICs or research focused on applications to cohorts in LMIC(s) were included. Author affiliation, article characteristics, and impact factor were assessed for 1,573 articles. Logistic regression models created to identify predictors of LMIC authorship.

Results:

We identified few studies published in indexed journals focused exclusively on LICs. Funded studies were less likely to have LMIC last authors. Compared with articles published in lower impact factor journals, those in journals with a higher impact factor were less likely to have a LMIC first or last author. The greater the number of countries represented per study, the less likely it had a LMIC first or last author.

Conclusion:

Our study highlights persistent disparities in authorship from LMICs in indexed orthopaedic journals.

Published: February 2023

In order to assess the effect of terminal heat stress  on the in vitro screened heat tolerant (n=9) and susceptible (n=3) genotypes of barley, a field trial was conducted during rabi 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. Barley genotypes were sown under timely (November 26) and late sown (December 26) conditions so that late sown crop encounters heat stress during its reproductive stages of growth. The results showed that timely sown crop took significantly higher number of days to attain physiological maturity as compared to late sown crop. For anthesis and physiological maturity, timely sown crop accumulated higher growing degree days (GDD) in comparison to late sown crop. Tolerant genotypes (viz., BL 1515, BL 1729, BL 1780, BL 1784, BL 1786, BL 1792, BL 1794, BL 1797 and IBYT-E24) recorded higher number of GDD for attaining physiological maturity in comparison to susceptible genotypes (viz., BL 1723, IBON 23 and IBYT-E15) under late sown conditions. Likewise, heat use efficiency (HUE) was also lower in susceptible genotypes as compared to tolerant genotypes particularly under late sown conditions. Results also indicated that under timely sown conditions, grain yield of tolerant genotypes was statistically at par to susceptible genotypes; but under late sown conditions, tolerant genotypes out yielded susceptible genotypes. Among the tolerant genotypes, BL1786 had the highest grain yield under late sown conditions and it was statistically similar to three other tolerant genotypes namely BL1780, BL1784 and BL1792. Tolerant genotypes recorded lower tolerance index (TOL) and stress susceptibility index (SSI) values in comparison to susceptible genotypes; however, exhibited higher values of yield stability index (YSI). Correlation studies indicated that number of days taken to physiological maturity is the most crucial phenological stage determining seed yield of barley under late sown conditions.

Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for the years 2001 to 2021 were used to understand the vegetation dynamics in the Rajasthan during last 21 years. Savitzky–Golay filtering technique was used for reconstruction of high quality data. The non- parametric Mann-Kendall test was used to evaluate the EVI time series trend at 30m pixel resolution. The results showed that: (1) The EVI has great variation in spatial distribution, decreasing trend from the southern and south-eastern parts to the western parts of the state, (2) EVI increased in 93.3% pixels and decreased in 6.6% pixels, indicating that the vegetation is improving rather than degrading. The findings of this research provide a scientific understanding of how vegetation is changing over Rajasthan and could help in the implementation of sustainable ecosystem management.

Published: February 2023

The potential of dual-polarization Sentinel–1 polarimetric decomposition parameters i.e., entropy, anisotropy and alpha angle, to monitor the biophysical parameters of rice crop namely, fresh biomass, dry biomass, vegetation water content (VWC) and plant height is investigated in this study. Multi-temporal Sentinel–1A dataset during critical growth stages of rice was considered for regression analysis between the polarimetric decomposition parameters and the biophysical parameters using linear and logarithmic models. The best correlations are obtained at early vegetation stages of the crop i.e. between tillering to booting stages. The maximum R2 value obtained is 0.6 for linear regression of entropy and VWC followed by other biophysical parameters. The correlation of polarimetric decomposition parameters with biophysical parameters is not as high as that of VH backscatter coefficient. Multiple regression using various Sentinel–1 parameters yields a better correlation than regression using individual parameters.  The maximum R2 value of 0.765 is obtained for the multiple linear regression for VWC. Multiple regression using the backscatter coefficients and polarimetric decomposition parameters together gives a better correlation than that using only the backscatter coefficients. This indicate that the polarimetric decomposition parameters are sensitive to biophysical parameters and can be used as additional parameters along with the backscatter parameters for rice crop monitoring.
Satellite agromet products and their adaptation for advisory services to Indian farming community

Published: February 2023

Anomalous and erratic behaviour of weather pose various challenges for agricultural community from crop sowing to post harvest. The balance between turn-around-time for farm operations and resource optimization can limit the expected losses due to unfavourable weather. In the past, thrust was given to issue agromet advisories to farmers for a group of districts and blocks primarily using medium-range weather forecast with coarser grid resolution, crop records and point observation for crop condition. The current advisory framework under Gramin Krishi Mausam Seva (GKMS) of India Meteorological Department (IMD) lacks in, near real time assessment of crop and soil conditions to improve the quality and coverage of advisories. The spectral observations from polar and geostationary satellites provide agromet products for synoptic, real-time and continuous monitoring of crops. In order to strengthen the existing advisories under GKMS, the usage of satellite derived daily agromet products in six AFMUs (Agro-Met Field Units) (382 blocks of 60 districts) was initiated by Space Applications Centre, ISRO and IMD. Several agromet products such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Potential Evapotranspiration (PET), Surface Dryness Index (SDI), Minimum and Maximum Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Surface Soil Moisture (SSM) aggregated for block and district agricultural regions are provided to all six AFMUs in user friendly format since October 2019 through a dedicated web link from VEDAS (https://vedas.sac.gov.in) geoportal. Time series and near real-time agromet products during agricultural seasons are being used to interpret crop sowing prospect, crop condition, irrigation requirement, crop stress etc. at block and district scales. Regular evaluation of these products over respective AFMUs with measured ground data showed 9% and 10% difference for PET and SSM respectively, whereas, LST showed RMSE of 2.0 K. In future, crop specific agromet parameters and their short-term forecasting are primary focus to provide value-added quality advisories at Gram Panchayat level to all AFMUs.

Published: February 2023

Considerando o grande rebanho equino no Brasil, o potencial zoonótico da brucelose, o impacto negativo da doença nos plantéis e a falta de um padrão nos resultados de exames, o presente trabalho visa o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento do “SISTEMA DE DIGITALIZAÇÃO E PROCESSAMENTO DE INFORMAÇÕES PARA O DIAGNÓSTICO DA BRUCELOSE EQUINA”, constará com além dos dados necessários para a identificação dos animais uma imagem digitalizada do resultado do seu exame do Antígeno Acidificado Tamponado. Foram utilizados entre 1.600 equinos de trabalho procedentes de diferentes estados das regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste do país, com histórico de coabitação com bovinos. No momento da colheita das amostras foram obtidas informações sobre idade, raça, sexo e procedência dos animais. A técnica do AAT foi realizada conforme recomendação do PNCEBT do MAPA. Para a caracterização do “sistema de digitalização e processamento de informações para o diagnóstico da brucelose equina” (SCAB) software confeccionado, foi utilizado o resultado da prova do AAT. Todos os 1600 animais testados, 1447 foram não reagentes ao teste do AAT demonstrando a boa sanidade dos equinos testados sendo de grande importância para o agronegócio da equinocultura, porém 153 foram reagentes ao teste do AAT e confirmados nos demais testes (2-ME, FC, PF), ou seja 9,81% dos animais testados, resultado acima da média nacional quando comparado com bovinos. Os 1600 soros foram submetidos ao exame do AAT desenvolvido pelo SCAB, apresentando resultado similar. Com relação a validação dos resultados o grande desafio do sistema foi equilibrar a especificidade e a sensibilidade do programa. Pois quanto mais específica for a leitura por parte do sistema maiores os riscos de falsos negativos e quanto mais sensível maiores os de falsos positivos, portanto o equilíbrio entre sensibilidade e especificidade do programa é de fundamental importância. Este fato gerou muitos ajustes e re-testes no programa. O módulo de análise e processamento digital da imagem é uma forma automática de gerar o resultado do exame de brucelose equina. O método digital criado mostrou-se efetivo e eficaz, podendo ser utilizado como uma ferramenta para auxilio nos métodos tradicionais feito de forma visual por um médico veterinário.

Strindbergs dramatik på tyskspråkiga scener

Strindberg’s Dramas on German Stages

This article provides an overview of stage productions of Strindberg’s plays on German stages from 1890 to 2011, and discusses their importance for German directors. The first Strindberg performance to be staged in Germany was Otto Brahm’s The Father produced by the Freie Bühne in Berlin in 1890. The most suitable authors for the naturalistic aesthetic ideals of the Freie Bühne, however, were Hauptmann, Ibsen and Tolstoy. Strindberg was involved in several lawsuits during the 1890’s, making him a controversial figure. However, by the first decade of the 20th century, about twenty-five of his plays were being performed in Germany.

In 1912 the so-called “Strindberg Boom” began; fifty Strindberg dramas were put on stage and the German expressionists even compared Strindberg to Shakespeare. Two theatres were of greater significance than the others. At the Deutsches Theater and the Kammerspiele Max Reinhardt – the first director able to fulfill Strindberg’s dramatic intentions in his late plays – made five legendary productions, beginning with The Dance of Death in 1912. At the Theater in Königgrätzer Straße in 1916, Rudolf Bernauer produced A Dream Play in a more idyllic and less experimental fashion than his contemporary, Reinhardt. By contrast, Reinhardt’s productions utilized lighting, sound effects and a gloomy milieu in order to emphasize the metaphysical anxiety of human beings in a world beyond their comprehension. The importance of the expressionists – and, eventually, of Strindberg himself – decreased after World War I. Given the Nazi party’s dislike of his work,  Strindberg’s plays were not performed in Germany at all after 1933.

The first important Strindberg production staged after World War II was Fritz Kortner’s The Father, first performed in Munich in 1949. In the 1950’s the influence of Kafka and Existentialism had revised Strindberg’s image. About ten of his plays had survived, and today, the most frequently performed of these is Miss Julie. During the 1960’s, when the German stage was dominated by political theatre, Strindberg was hardly performed at all. However, in the early 1970’s stage productions of The Dance of Death by Rudolf Noelte and The Ghost Sonata by Hans Neuenfels were the peaks of a new, ephemeral wave of interest in Strindberg.

To this day, the final important German stage director possessed of a pronounced interest in Strindberg was Ernst Wendt. Wendt was, however, strongly criticized by literary scholars and translators for placing emphasis upon the destructive and depressive aspects of Strindberg’s work, and overlooking Strindberg’s role as a radical critic and an inquisitive inventor.

Kabupaten Jember memiliki beberapa wilayah yang berpotensi dalam pengembangan kopi, salah satunya di Desa Banjarsengon Kecamatan Patrang yang memiliki luas lahan 65 hektar. Untuk meningkatkan potensi daerah tersebut, maka penelitian eksplorasi pengolahan biji kopi yang dihasilkan menjadi penting untuk dilakukan. Salah satu proses pengolahan kopi yang penting yaitu proses penyangraian. Penyangraian merupakan proses pembentukan rasa dan aroma pada biji kopi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perubahan kandungan kafein dan sifat fisik kopi robusta yang dihasilkan oleh petani lokal setempat. Terdapat tiga variasi suhu dan waktu penyangraian yang digunakan dalam penelitaian ini. Untuk pengamatan suhu penyangraian dilakukan pada suhu 190oC, 200oC, 210oC dan durasi lama penyangraian digunakan pada 10, 15, dan 20 menit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kombinasi temperatur 190oC dan lama penyangraian 10 menit memiliki kadar kafein terendah yaitu sebesar 3,18%. Selain itu, diketahui berdasarkan uji Duncan faktor lama penyangraian memiliki pengaruh sangat nyata terhadap jumlah kadar air dan densitas curah pada biji kopi. Sedangkan melalui pengamatan uji fisik diketahui bahwa semakin besar suhu dan semakin lama durasi penyangraian dapat mengakibatkan biji kehilangan kadar air juga semakin besar maka massa pada bijipun berkurang

Climate, Peace and Security in a Changing Geopolitical Context: Next Steps for the European Union
Authors: Bremberg Niklas , Bunse Simone
Published: February 2023

This policy brief analyses current initiatives and ways forward to address the nexus between climate change, peace and security within the European Union’s (EU) foreign, security and defence policies. Considering Sweden’s reputation and credibility in advancing international cooperation on climate security and in light of the 2023 Swedish presidency of the Council of the EU, there is an opportunity to address the current lack of alignment between the climate and conflict-sensitizing work of the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the climate adaptation and mitigation work of the European Commission. Closer collaboration between the EEAS, the European Commission and EU member states to align resources and tools would allow for a qualitative leap forward by fostering actions that are preventative rather than reactive to climate-related security risks in the short to medium term.
Lessons from Self-Directed Learning Activities and Helping University Students Think Critically
Authors: Chukwunemerem Orjika Paschal
Published: February 2023

This work presents the benefits of self-directed learning activities as tools for enhancing critical thinking of university students. Self-directed learning is best introduced to students during the transition period from high school to the university (Van et al., 2015), and then reinforced throughout the university years. Interestingly, self-directed learning does not end within the university walls-it does exist beyond those walls. Hence, there is the need to nurture it during the university years so it can blossom afterwards. Early introduction or reinforcement of self-directed learning to university students is crucial because it can help students get accustomed to being self-directed in their learning at the university and beyond, thereby developing their critical thinking skills. The benefit of self-directed learning activities includes critical thinking skills, cooperative learning skills, freedom in learning, ICT, research skills, and other useful skills.
Angstrom-Prescott Type Models for Predicting Solar Irradiation for Different Locations in Zimbabwe
Authors: Iradukunda Cedrick , Chiteka Kudzanayi
Published: February 2023

Adequate assessment of solar radiation data is crucial for planning and designing solar energy systems. However, a major challenge facing solar energy technologies is the availability of solar radiation data at the specific area of interest. In this paper solar radiation and sunshine duration data from 29 stations in Zimbabwe were used to generate both monthly and annual Angstrom-Prescott (A-P) type coefficients, a and b, that are location based. The coefficients were developed using linear correlation between the clearness index and sunshine duration. The adaptation relationship between satellite and ground-measured irradiation had an R2 of 0.6738. The correlation between the clearness index and the sunshine duration in most of the stations was fairly high with the highest coefficient of determination, R2, of 0.9030. The A-Pregression coefficient, a, generated using the data from each station ranged between 0.2252 and 0.3976, whereas the regression coefficient, b, ranged between 0.3218 and 0.6265. The estimated and measured values of global solar radiation, He, and Hm, respectively from each station were compared using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE) and the relative standard error (RSE). The MAE values for the models ranged from 0.5438 MJ/m2 to 2.2845 MJ/m2. The MAPE indicated a range between 2.5642 % and 10.334 %. The RSE ranged between 0.0346 % and 0.1537% while the RMSE for the models ranged from 0.7360 MJ/m2 to 2.9454 MJ/m2. The statistical indicators showed results that were within the recommended range for solar radiation predicting models from similar studies.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas perbandingan pemikiran antara Al-Maqrizi dan Keynes terkait inflasi. Terdapat perbedaan dan persamaan pandangan antara antara Al-Maqrizi dan Keynes terkait inflasi dalam perekonomian suatu negara. Metode penelitian menggunakan kualitatif dengan pendekatan pemikiran atau studi tokoh dengan menggunakan studi literature sebagai metode pengumpulan data. Analisis data menggunakan studi komparasi. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa terdapat kesamaan pemikiran antara Al-Maqrizi dan Keynes, dimana inflasi dipengaruhi oleh faktor moneter dan non moneter yaitu penguasa yang tidak bertanggung jawab dan peningkatan sirkulasi uang yang mengakibatkan terjadi kelebihan jumlah uang beredar di masyarakat. Namun demikian Keynes menambahkan bahwa Inflasi = f (jumlah uang beredar, pengeluaran pemerintah, suku bunga, dan investasi). Berbeda dengan Al-Maqrizi yang tidak menyinggung suku bunga dalam pemikirannya tentang inflasi. Selain itu terdapat perbedaan lain, yaitu bahwa menurut Al Maqrizi ada faktor alamiah yang menyebab terjadinya inflasi, dimana faktor ini terjadi secara alami dan manusia tidak bisa menghindarinya, seperti adanya bencana yang menyebabkan persediaan berkurang namun permintaan meningkat. Sedangkan Keynes tidak menyinggung adanya faktor alamiah sebagai penyebab dari inflasi. Namun tidak membantah bahwa kenaikan permintaan dan kekurangan produksi dapat menyebabkan inflasi
