Authors: Chirathapudi Jaya Sandhya , Karampudi Amulya Sanghamithra , Aijaz Ayesha , Naidana Partha Sarathy
Published: October 2023

Background: SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped, single stranded RNA beta corona virus that belongs to the family Coronaviridae. The S and N proteins are the principal immunogens used for the detection of anti – SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies.2 The first subunit (S1) mediates the attachment of the virus to human cells via its receptor - binding domain (RBD), and the second one (S2) mediates membrane fusion for viral entry. Antibodies that bind to the S protein can neutralize corona viruses.
Methods: It was a community based analytical cross-sectional study done in rural areas of Eluru district, A.P. State. From each village 30 members were selected by using systematic random sampling. A sample of 120 was included. Blood samples from the selected individuals were taken Humoral responses (Ig G) were assessed using an ICMR approved Micro well ELISA test for the semi-quantitative detection of COVID 19 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralizing antibodies in Human serum samples.
Results: In the present study 46 (28.3%) had higher education, 15 (12.5 %) belong to farmers, 84 (70%) of them belong to Hindus, 94 (78.3%) of them belong to nuclear family. History of COVID 19 (p=0.02), period from recent dose of covid vaccination (p=0.04) were found to be statistically significant.
Conclusions: High seroprevalence in this study suggests that COVID-19 vaccination remains the best method to control the COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary to encourage the public to take vaccination.

Authors: Rajachandrasekar Bhuvaneswari , Vaiyapuri Sakthivel
Published: October 2023

Clinical and research instruments are available for assessing patients with psychiatric illness along specific dimensions of symptoms, comorbidities, and other health outcomes. Rating scales in clinical practice and research standardize diagnosis and assessment. Here, we focus on rating scales for common psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, and stress-related disorders. Structured observation is most commonly used with this tool. Here are a few tools with basic characteristics, such as clarity, relevance, variety, objectives, and uniqueness. Rating scales will be discussed in clinical and research settings and future directions in their use. People using scales for commercial purposes should check for access and availability since some scales are copyrighted. The more standardization can be achieved, the easier it will be to compare individuals or groups of individuals. We will be able to assess care quality and outcomes across settings.
Racial and Ethnic Inequality in Latin America
Authors: Telles Edward E. , Bailey Stanley R. , Davoudpour Shahin , Freeman Nicholas C.
Published: October 2023

This chapter examines socioeconomic inequality in Latin America through the lens of race and ethnicity. We primarily use national census data from the International Public Use Micro Data Sample (IPUMS). Since censuses use inconsistent measures of race and ethnicity, we also draw on two additional measures from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP). Unlike censuses, LAPOP data offer a more consistent ethnoracial scheme across countries and a unique interviewer-rated skin color measure. Our study shows that black and indigenous populations and those with darker skin color experience educational, income, and occupational disadvantages, even after controlling for their social origins. However, inequality and hierarchical ordering of Afro-descendants, indigenous peoples, mestizos, whites, and others vary across countries. We include an extended examination of educational inequality in Brazil, the regions largest country. The chapter concludes with an exploration of public policy approaches to address black and indigenous disadvantage across Latin America while also highlighting the case of Brazil, where targeted antiracism policy is most advanced.
Evolution and Evaluation of Energy Policies in India Between 2000 and 2017
Authors: Dave Nigam , Divi Sriram , Khurana Neeta
Published: October 2023

India, as one of the world's largest energy consumers, has implemented a wide array of energy policies to meet the needs of its substantial population of 1.4 billion. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of these policies, from the establishment of the National Electricity Board in 1950 to the introduction of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwal Yojana in 2017. Covering a broad spectrum of energy forms, including electricity and LPG, it illuminates the evolution of India's energy policies and their effectiveness. Significant strides have been made since the 1950s when the government initiated rural and urban development programs. Landmark actions such as the establishment of nuclear power plants and the initiation of renewable energy source research and development have been critical in addressing the energy requirements of India's growing population and booming industries. Public domain data evaluation reveals a mixed performance of various schemes. While some have fallen short of their targets, others like the Saubhagya scheme have made impressive progress towards achieving universal electrification, with about 90% of households in India now having electricity access. However, concerns remain regarding the quality and reliability of this electricity provision. Furthermore, significant efforts are still required to adequately address the needs of institutional clients, small enterprises, and agricultural consumers. As the population continues to grow, it is recommended that an efficient evaluative strategy be established to monitor and address any emerging gaps in energy provision.

Modern ways to reduced mortality of myocardial infarction. What should be done?
Authors: Barbarash O. L. , Pecherina T. B.
Published: October 2023

Myocardial infarction is a formidable manifestation of coronary artery disease and accounts for one third of deaths associated with coronary disease. In Russia, from 400 to 500 thousand patients with acute coronary syndrome are hospitalized annually, about half of them with myocardial infarction (MI). The dynamics of the number of hospitalized patients in recent years indicates its reduction. Short-term mortality (30-day, including hospital mortality) after acute MI has decreased significantly over the past 50 years: in absolute terms from 30 % in 1950 to 5–8 % at present. However, long-term mortality after MI did not improve. Moreover, in recent years, the rate of decline in 30-day mortality from MI has decreased significantly, almost reaching a “plateau” over the past 15 years. It has been established that in terms of the impact on survival, disability and quality of life of the working population, MI is an important not only medical but also social problem. This review of the literature discusses changes in approaches to reducing mortality in MI, as well as the main events in evidence-based cardiology over the past 50 years, which have made it possible to effectively manage the risk of death in this category of patients.

Authors: Fajriyah Anisa Nuril , Rahmayati Anim
Published: October 2023

Islam presents zakah in two types: zakah nafs (soul) and zakah maal (wealth). There are many studies for zakah maal; one is zakah of agriculture. Sidoharjo is the district in Sragen that had 9.093 hectares for harvesting area in 2019 and produced 58.802 tons of fresh rice grains in the same year. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the behavioral intention of farmers to pay zakah for agriculture in the district of Sidoharjo. This quantitative research uses 100 respondents who fit the criteria as a sample. Data were collected through the questionnaires distributed directly to farmers, and the analysis method used multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that subjective norms affect the behavioral intention of farmers to pay zakah for agriculture. Meanwhile, attitudes and understanding have yet to be shown to influence the behavioral intention of farmers to pay zakah for agriculture. This research implies that subjective norms have influenced farmers to pay zakah agriculture. Considering that humans are social beings, this factor can provide a positive signal to increase the application of zakah agriculture for the welfare of others. Future research can perform other variables to find the entire model to increase the power of zakah in the agricultural sector. Educating the farmer and establishing the community to assist the farmer in paying zakah can be the practical implication of this research.

Published: October 2023

Expanded drawing is an investigation of the evolution of drawing techniques and media/materials that have given artists the freedom to experiment, venture outside of their comfort zones, and change their routines. Extended drawing offers difficult activity engagements by fusing media and techniques with imaginative concepts. It also expands and reframes traditional drawing disciplines and approaches to produce works with a vibrant, modern personality. To create works that allude to distinctive traits and processes, media and technique development is done while keeping a larger context in mind. New media or media that has been used frequently are both used in this process. With its ability to create a dynamic and imaginative arena, Drawing Expanded is full of exploration, responding to medium and drawing styles in accordance with the concept being created. Expanded drawing is a new definition that arises from redefining, based on the individual's choice of media and technique as well as the environment. American artist Robert Morris first used the word in 1946 to describe a three-dimensional approach outside galleries that highlighted the value of creative exploration and interaction with materials, media, techniques, locations, and ideas.

Background: An incisional hernia is a condition where the sutures on the abdominal wall rupture while the sutures on the skin remain intact. This causes abdominal viscera to protrude through the surgical incision hole, resulting in a visible lump. Purpose: Literature reports regarding incisional hernias in animals are very rarely reported; therefore, this case report aims to provide information about incisional hernias. Case: An eight month old female cat weighing 1.7 kg was presented at the Veterinary Surgery Laboratory, Veterinary Medical Faculty of Udayana University, with clinical signs of a lump on the ventral side of the abdomen, with visible stitch scars in the lump area. Upon pressing the lump, it could be reinserted, leading to a diagnosis of incisional hernia. Case Management: The cat underwent herniorrhaphy to return the visceral organs to the abdominal cavity and close the hernial opening. Post-operative care included administering cefotaxime 20 mg/kg BW intravenously twice a day for three days, followed by cefixime 5 mg/kg BW orally twice a day for four days, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs tolfenamic acid of 4 mg/kg BW subcutaneously once a day for three days. The wound area was covered with 1% framycetin sulfate tulle gauze (Daryant-Tulle®), and the stitches were removed on the 14th postoperative day. Conclusion: The wound appears dry, with well-approximated edges and no visible protrusion. It can be concluded that treatment with herniorrhaphy in this case was successful.

Background: Sebaceous adenoma is a benign tumour originating from the skin's sebaceous glands. These tumours can arise in older and middle-aged dogs, typically on various body parts, head, and extremities. The tumours can manifest as either lumps or ulcers. Ulcers may develop when the animal scratches the tumour mass. Purpose: Increase the insight and ability of veterinary practitioners in diagnosing and providing information regarding the treatment of sebaceous adenomas. Case: A nine-year-old Golden retriever dog was brought to the Bali Veterinary Clinic with a complaint of a lateral wound on the face skin of the right eye. Anamnesis revealed that the initial wound was a lump. Clinical examination showed a yellowish ulcer with a 2 cm diameter. Case Management: A hematology examination indicated mild anemia in the dog, while blood biochemistry revealed no abnormalities. Cytology confirmed that the ulcer was a sebaceous adenoma. The owner declined surgery for their pet, so treatment involved applying Bioplacenton® gel to the ulcer area to prevent further infection and accelerate wound healing. Conclusion: In this case, the ulcer wound can be concluded as a sebaceous adenoma. This tumour is benign and harmless, but it is advisable to remove the tumour mass if it impairs the animal's activity and prevents potential secondary infection.

Microplastics (MPs) are pollutant agents that have been absorbed and detected in aquatic ecosystems at high concentrations. This study aimed to investigate the presence of MPs pollution in green mussel (Perna viridis) products sold at the Kedonganan fish market, Badung, Bali. A total of 150 mussels with an average weight of 3,2 ± 0,71 g/mussels from three traders each composed and followed by the pre-treatment stage using 5 M NaCl solution, extraction with wet oxidation peroxidation (WPO) + Fe(II) catalyst and filtered. The highest percentage for the form of MPs was successively obtained by the Line form in Trader A at 85,42% and the lowest in Trader C at 50,00%. The highest form of fragments was obtained in Trader C at 42,86%. Film and filament forms were only obtained in Trader A. The highest MPs color was black and the lowest was gray. The highest average MPs particle size was found in the form of a filament of 1944,37 ± 88,41 μm which was found in Trader A. Estimates of MPs intake per year/capita in Indonesia showed that exposure to MPs through consumption of green mussels in this study amounted to 498,330 MPs/year/capita items. Overall, the green mussel from Trader A had the highest percentage and size of MPs, with the shape of fragment MPs being dominated by Trader C and the color of the MPs being dominated by black. MPs exposure to green mussel consumption in Indonesia is very high, but no health impact category has yet been found for this estimate.

One of the impacts of foot and mouth disease (FMD) on the dairy farming sector is decreasing the quantity and quality of milk production. This study aimed to determine the impact of FMD by observing the productivity and quality of fresh milk during FMD outbreaks. Sampling was performed to obtain productivity data before and during the FMD outbreak using the cluster sampling method in five areas in KUD Kertajaya, Kediri, Indonesia. The lactoscan test was used to analyze the quality of fresh milk from 50 positive samples. Based on the statistical analysis using the paired parametric T-test, it was reported that there was a significant difference in milk productivity before and during the FMD outbreak (p < 0,05). The results of the Lactoscan test on 50 positive samples showed an average fat content of 4,43%, solid nonfat (SNF) content of 8,54%, specific gravity of 1,028, lactose content of 4,67%, total solids content of 12,97%, added water content of 1,44 and freezing point of -0,54°C. In conclusion, the milk of dairy cows during the FMD outbreak often displayed a quality value of milk that met SNI requirements, despite the fact that there was a major decline in productivity.
