How uniform is donor history questionnaire for screening potential blood donors: a critical analysis
Authors: Kairi Jayant Kumar , Kaur Manmeet
Published: March 2021

Background: Transfusion of whole blood or blood products are a clinical necessity in numerous clinical conditions. Blood donated from healthy human volunteers is the only method currently available to acquire blood transfusion and production of blood products. Donor history questionnaire (DHQ) contributes immensely to ensure safe blood donation. The aim was to compare the donor history questionnaire for blood donation deferral of various regions and organizations with that of World Health Organization (WHO).Methods: An extensive internet search for donor history questionnaires (DHQ) for blood donation deferral of different regions, countries and organization was conducted. Seven such forms were found which could be downloaded. A critical analysis of these forms was conducted based on history pertaining to use of medicines, disease history or procedure undergone recently. A comparative analysis was conducted finally with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on the issue of donor screening and deferral. Descriptive analysis was done for comparison of donor history questionnaires in regards to drugs taken, disease history and invasive procedures performed.Results: After the analysis of the DHQs, we found that despite many similarities, there were significant differences in the questionnaires. The differences were more with respect to questions asked about the medicines, both traditional as well as modern.Conclusions: DHQs analysed by us revealed wide variations in their enquiry from potential donors about exposure to prescription medicines as well as the disease history. A suggestion is that more questions related to alternative medicines, nutraceuticals and other similar xenobiotic should be included.

Authors: Noor Aijaz Ul , Aziz Ruqaya
Published: March 2021

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by an RNA virus SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging global health pandemic. With currently no approved treatment or prophylaxis, the SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly transmitted via touch, droplets, and fomites. In most affected patients, the disease will have mild flu-like symptoms (fever, dry cough, and difficulty in breathing) and in selected patients may cause severe complications such as progressive pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and organ failure due to hyper-inflammation and cytokine storm syndrome. Understanding the pathogenesis of the disease is essential for identification and rational design of effective drug targets. The plant metabolites can provide as a prospective approach for SARS-CoV-2, due to lowest possible side effect and antiviral properties. In this report, we provide an overview of the disease pathogenesis and highlight the potential therapeutic interventions.

Authors: Kaur Sukhpreet , Singh Harminder , Kaur Kamalpreet
Published: March 2021

The Wuhan city, the capital of Hubei province in China became the focal point for origin of virulent disease which later named as COVID-19. This paper aims to analyze the on-going clinical trials for drugs/interventions used for treatment of COVID-19 infection in open domain. The data on ongoing clinical trials on COVID-19 was retrieved from database clinicaltrials.gov. The data extracted includes national clinical trial registry number, title of study, recruitment status, results availability, intervention, outcome measure, sponsorship, study types, study design, start and completion dates, and location. All the extracted data was analyzed. As on 10th August 2020, a total of 2935 trials were registered in different countries. Of which 1115 trials are being conducted in Europe and 640 in United States of America (USA). Majority of COVID-19 clinical trials (95%) were enrolling all age groups including children and older adults. Similarly, majority of trials were including both genders (97%). Among all these clinical trials ongoing on COVID-19, 1645 were interventional, 1266 were observational studies. In interventional study 876 trials used drug intervention. Among all these trials 390 different drug interventions are being tried. Among these hydroxychloroquine, antiretrovirals and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were top three drug groups. The conduct of clinical trials in time of pandemic have so many tenacious issues that need to be addressed. It is very important to utilize the resources efficiently such as following a standard protocol then one can easily pool the data of various trials conducted at various places. Given the smaller sample sizes, long completion period, high risk of bias and imprecise information, it will take quite a long time to obtain high quality clinical evidence for the treatment of COVID-19 infection.
Pregnancy outcomes in women with excessive gestational weight gain in Dschang health district of Cameroon
Authors: Nguefack Skinner Lekelem , Ndenkeh Jackson Jr , Bekolo Cavin , Kenfack Bruno
Published: March 2021

Background: Excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) during pregnancy can lead to adverse outcomes for the mother and/or the new-born. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of EGWG as well as its effect on pregnancy outcomes amongst pregnant women at the health district of Dschang in Cameroon.  

Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted from January to June 2019 and targeting all consenting pregnant women in Dschang District Hospital. They were administered a prepared questionnaire followed by their body mass index measurements for times at the beginning and the end of gestation to measure GWG. Logistic regression was used to determine the association of the EGWG to some particular pregnancy outcomes, adjusting for other factors with significance set at 5%.   

Results: A total of 400 women were included in this study with a mean age of 27±5years, 59.2% being married and 34.8% still being students. Also it was noted that 24.8% of these women were obese while 25.3% had EGWG. Furthermore, EGWG was independently associated to prolonged labour (aOR=2.4; CI: 1.3-4.6; p value=0.007), genital tract laceration (aOR=2.0; CI: 1.0-3.8; p value=0.036) and foetal macrosomia (aOR=7.3; CI: 3.5-15.2; p value<0.001).

Conclusions: The prevalence of EGWG was high and it was associated with prolonged labour, genital tract laceration and foetal macrosomia. There is thus the need to improve the awareness of these women on EGWG as well as a constant follow up all through gestational period so as to regulate their GWG. The above measures will help to reduce occurrence of these complications, and consequently reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.

 
Hacia una fundamentación de la Bioética Ambiental desde la visión de Fritz Jahr, Aldo Leopold y Van Rensselaer Potter
Authors: Marquez-Vargas Florentino
Published: March 2021

Resumen

El presente artículo hace una reflexión acerca de los postulados ambientalistas inherentes al cuerpo teórico de la bioética. Se delimita la Bioética Ambiental en la visión de Potter, mediante el análisis de su obra. Se analiza del pensamiento de Leopold (1949), enfocado en una ética ecocéntrica. También se realiza un recuento de la propuesta de Jahr (1927), pensamiento antecesor de la bioética. Se desarrolla además una revisión de las propuestas sobre bioética ambiental en el ámbito latinoamericano. El objetivo de la investigación fue establecer unos postulados para el campo de estudio de la bioética ambiental que permitan una interpretación de la crisis ambiental, en el contexto de los ecosistemas planetarios. La metodología aplicada, bajo el enfoque cualitativo, consistió en una revisión documental, en perspectiva hermenéutica, de la obra de Jhar, Leopold y Potter; igualmente, de algunos estudios de autores latinoamericanos. Fue establecido como periodo de tiempo para la recolección de dicha información, los años de 1970 a 2017, periodo en el cual se produjeron los principales estudios internacionales sobre la problemática ambiental en el planeta. La reflexión permitió concluir que se consolidan en el ámbito de la bioética ambiental, cuatro actuaciones centrales: la defensa a ultranza de la vida, en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones; la promoción de la existencia de personas sanas en armonía con ecosistemas sanos; la estructuración de normas ambientales para la protección de las ciudades y los bosques; y producir industrialmente para una vida digna, bajo parámetros de protección de los ecosistemas.

Authors: Clavijo-Montoya Hernando Augusto
Published: March 2021

Propósito/Contexto. Hoy en día, con la posibilidad de detectar la predisposición genética de un número cada vez mayor de enfermedades, incluidos los ampliamente promocionados a nivel mundial y conocidos como “test genéticos del hogar”, la genómica comienza a plantear conflictividades que no se consideraban años atrás. Metodología/Enfoque. En este artículo, tales conflictividades son estudiadas con una metodología cualitativa desde la ética de la convergencia de Ricardo Maliandi, en el contexto del concepto de dividuo propuesto por Gilles Deleuze y aplicado a estos avances científicos.Resultados/Hallazgos. Las personas se enfrentan a la nueva realidad de tener marcadores genéticos asociados con riesgos de enfermedades cuya prevención o tratamiento son aún limitados. De esta manera, el proceso de dividuación, a nivel genotípico, aumenta la conflictividad por el surgimiento de nuevas formas de incomposibilidad de óptimos entre los principios éticos.Discusión/Conclusiones/Contribuciones. Con la disponibilidad de estos avances tecnocientíficos, las personas no solamente deben preocuparse por su fenotipo; ahora deben comenzar a autogestionar su genotipo en un contexto de incertidumbre sobre su salud. Resulta necesario considerar el papel de las políticas sanitarias frente a estos desafíos; de sus orientaciones u omisiones dependerán las decisiones de las organizaciones y de la sociedad en general.

Clotrimazole, Pregnancy and Endocrine Disruption: A Narrative Review
Authors: P Conradi
Published: March 2021

Background: Clotrimazole is an antifungal drug commonly used in human medicine. It is considered to be safe in pregnancy. Besides this medical assumption ecotoxicology has developed over the last years an awareness of pharmaceuticals which have been detected in surface waters and are of concern for the biosphere. Some of those drugs are endocrine disruptors. So is clotrimazole.Methods: Selective internet research on this subject incorporating medical and ecotoxicological positions.Conclusions: Ecotoxicology and human medicine postulate divergent positions about the harmful effects of clotrimazole. Medicine bases its assumption on thousands of healthy newborn babies whose mothers were treated with clotrimazole during pregnancy. This argument is easy to refute as clotrimazole is an endocrine disruptor and possible consequences of exposure during sensitive periods of pregnancy will only show up much later in life. As a result medicine is challenged to incorporate ecotoxicological concerns into its advice for pregnant women.

Authors: BAHÇECİK Şerif Onur
Published: March 2021

Turkey’s relations with Sub-Saharan African countries have developed substantially since the 2000s. Existing research has focused on the motivations for this policy and analyzed it from political, economic and cultural aspects. This article seeks to contribute to this literature by focusing on the emergence phase of this policy. An opening towards African countries have come to the agenda in Turkey several times before the 2000s but these attempts either did not turn into full-fledged policies or were abandoned after a change of government. The successful emergence of the post-2000 African policy is in part based on these attempts but also on the strategies adopted by policy entrepreneurs to get support for the opening.

The Beginning of Islamic Philosophy
Authors: Ramadhani Yunizar
Published: March 2021

The theme presented in this article is not a new one and is fairly commonplace in countless studies of Islamic philosophy. However, the description in this article is written with a special emphasis, namely that Islamic philosophy is an attempt to explain religious teaching in a philosophical manner and that philosophy is useful for defending religious doctrines through rational-demonstrative arguments. This emphasis is present amidst the persistence of negative sentiments and even rejection raised by some Muslims, as well as criticism from philosophical reviewers who doubt originality of religious philosophy.For this reason, the author tries to present a brief history of the emergence of Islamic philosophy along with the motives that prompted Muslim scholars to build this philosophy and the influence that surrounded it. Next, the author will explain how Muslim philosophers defend and proved the originality of their philosophy. Everything is conveyed to state that Islamic philosophy is not as alleged by its opponents.Tema yang disajikan pada artikel ini bukanlah tema yang baru dan terbilang lumrah dalam kajian filsafat Islam yang sudah tak terhitung banyaknya. Namun uraian tentang permulaan filsafat Islam pada artikel ini ditulis dengan penekanan khusus, yaitu bahwa filsafat Islam merupakan upaya untuk menjelaskan ajaran agama secara filosofis dan bahwa filsafat bermanfaat untuk membela doktrin-doktrin agama melalui argumentasi rasional-demonstratif. Penekanan tersebut hadir di tengah masih adanya sentimen negatif dan bahkan penolakan terhadap filsafat Islam yang dilontarkan oleh sebagian umat Islam, serta adanya kritik dari kalangan pengkaji filsafat yang meragukan orisinalitas filsafat keagamaan.Untuk itu, penulis mencoba mengetengahkan sejarah singkat kemunculan filsafat Islam bersama dengan motif-motif yang mendorong pada sarjana muslim membangun filsafat ini dan pengaruh yang melingkupinya. Selanjutnya, pengarang akan menjelaskan bagaimana para filsuf Muslim membela dan membuktikan orisinalitas filsafat mereka. Semuanya disampaikan untuk menyatakan bahwa filsafat Islam tidaklah seperti yang dituduhkan oleh para penolaknya.

Authors: DEMİRCAN ÇAKAR Nigar , GEDİKLİ Ayfer , ERDOĞAN Seyfettin
Published: March 2021

Considering its dire effects on different sectors, the coronavirus is far more than a health problem. The pandemic has hit the global economy starting with the developed world and now spreading into emerging economies. It is a fact that developing countries are more disadvantageous in this process since not only their health conditions and health services are not so sophisticated as their developed counterparts, but also macroeconomic conditions are not strong enough to endure such a long-lasting socio-economic crisis. Those countries are poorer and it is hard for them to allocate sources to the health sector. Comparing with emerging economies, the developed world also has been suffering from the severe effects of the pandemic. Because of long-lasting lock-down and contractions in the global economy, all developed economies revealed negative economic growth rates for the proceeding years. The purpose of this article is not only to compare the macroeconomic effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on developed and developing countries but also to assist economy authorities, health care leaders, and their organizations in anticipating and preempting problems by providing alternative health management policies rather than reacting. Macroeconomic variables data that are released by the World Bank and IMF will be applied to make the comparisons.

The auction market of chili in the Kulon Progo Regency has proven to have many benefits to the farmers. The competition among traders in the auction market will elevate the price, making it more profitable to the farmers. However, there are still opportunities to improve the auction market performance. This study was intended to help determine the efficiency of the auction market of chili in the sandy coastal area and its determinant factors. The research was conducted from April to July 2018. The respondents were 13managers of all auction markets in the sandy coastal area of KulonProgo Regency. The research used the Data Envelopment Analysis to know the efficiency of the auction market and binary logistic methods for analyzing its determinant factors. The study showed that most of the auction markets were not efficient. There were only 2 efficient auction markets, namely Auction Group 5 and Gisik Pranaji. This was due to the fact that the two auction markets had complete supporting infrastructure and management training. Both of the auction markets’ managers also had a good partnership with the traders in other cities. Meanwhile, the main problem of the inefficient auction market was getting a low selling price in the harvest season. The determining factor of efficiency is the managers’ experience in farming. In fact, managers with long working experience have an impact on their creativity to develop the auction market. This is because such managers with a long experience of chili farming will understand market conditions. The experience is also beneficial for the managers in establishing partnerships with buyers. The other variable, the auction markets’ capital, did not affect probability of the auction market to increase their efficiency. To increase their efficiency, it is necessary for the auction markets’ manager to follow thevarious management trainingand formal education.

O trabalho de parto é um conjunto de alterações fisiológicas que se manifestam através de contrações uterinas de intensidade e frequência crescente, resultando na dilatação progressiva do colo uterino e descida da apresentação fetal. A dor do parto tem sido descrita como uma das formas mais intensas de dor que podem ser experimentadas. No entanto, muitas mulheres demonstram o desejo de lidar com a dor sem intervenções farmacológicas ou invasivas. Dentre os métodos não farmacológicos podemos citar a acupuntura que é uma modalidade médica complementar que tem sido amplamente investigada para o tratamento de condições dolorosas em diversas patologias. Objetivo: Elucidar a eficácia da acupuntura e suas possíveis formas de aplicação diante do controle da dor e do tempo do trabalho de parto. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, utilizando artigos sem restrição temporal ou linguística. Os artigos foram selecionados no período de agosto a novembro de 2018, com os dados coletados através das bases de dados SCIELO, LILACS, MEDLINE e PEDro.  Resultados: Dos 146 artigos encontrados, apenas 5 se encaixaram nos critérios de elegibilidade, sendo todos ensaios clínicos randomizados do idioma inglês.  Conclusão: Não existem evidências suficientes que comprovem o efeito da acupuntura diante da dor no trabalho de parto, tornando assim a análise inconclusiva. O que pode ser considerado diante dessa revisão é a necessidade de mais pesquisas nessa área com o uso de protocolos mais rigorosos e padronizados.

Objetivo: Identificar e analisar estudos que testaram o efeito do reiki no controle da pressão arterial. Material e método: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, realizada a partir das recomendações PRISMA, que teve como questão norteadora (no formato PICO): “Em relação à pessoas que apresentam ou não o diagnóstico de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (population), qual o efeito do reiki (intervention) no controle da pressão arterial (outcomes)?”. A busca foi realizada, entre o período de novembro de 2019 e março de 2020, por dois pesquisadores, nas bases PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo e Science Direct, a partir da estratégia (reiki [MeSH Terms]) AND (hypertension OR blood pressure [MeSH Terms]). Resultados: Após aplicação dos limites e análise seletiva e crítica dos achados, três ensaios compuseram esta revisão. Destes, dois indicaram efeito do reiki na diminuição da pressão arterial. Considerações finais: Torna-se necessário o desenvolvimento de pesquisas que reforcem tais resultados e forneçam evidências para um estudo clínico em larga escala. Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de pesquisas que reforcem tais resultados e forneçam evidências para um estudo clínico em larga escala.

Entering a stepfamily: Children’s experience of family reconstitution in Sweden 1970-2000
Authors: Turunen Jani
Published: March 2021

In this article, I use the Swedish Level of Living Survey data to study children’s experience of family reconstitution, or the first formation of stepfamily in Sweden 1970 to 2000. I set out to analyze relative risks for acquiring a stepparent for boys and girls of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, here measured as parent’s educational attainment. The results show no educational differences in the stepfamily formation process. There are however clear gender differences in the family reconstitution process where the likelihood of gaining a stepparent varies by the child’s gender. Other factors that have effect on the child’s likelihood of entering the first stepfamily are the time lived with a single parent as well as the child’s age in interaction with the child’s sex. Although there are no educational differentials in stepfamily formation, one needs to account for the social gradient in the processes leading to children being in the risk pool. Particularly children of higher educated parents have a significantly lower risk of being born out of union or experiencing a parental union dissolution and thus being exposed to the risk of entering a stepfamily.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag werden die Daten des schwedischen Level of Living Survey verwendet, um die Erfahrungen von Kindern mit der Familienrekonstitution, genauer: mit der ersten Formierung einer Stieffamilie in Schweden zwischen den Jahren 1970 und 2000 zu untersuchen. Zu Beginn wird das Risiko analysiert, einen Stiefelternteil zu bekommen und zwar für Jungen und Mädchen unterschiedlichen Alters und sozioökonomischen Hintergrunds, wobei letzterer anhand des Bildungsniveaus der Eltern gemessen wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen hinsichtlich des Bildungsniveaus keine Unterschiede im Prozess der Gründung von Stieffamilien auf. Es bestehen jedoch eindeutige Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern, da die Neigung, einen Stiefelternteil zu bekommen, je nach Geschlecht des Kindes variiert. Andere Faktoren, die ebenfalls Einfluss auf die Eintrittsrate in eine Stieffamilie haben, sind: die Zeitdauer, die ein Kind mit einem alleinerziehenden Elternteil gelebt hat als auch das Alter des Kindes in Wechselwirkung mit dessen Geschlecht. Obwohl die Bildung keinen Einfluss auf die Rate des Eintritts in eine Stieffamilie hat, muss man beachtet, dass es ein soziales Gefälle bei den Prozessen gibt, die dazu führen, dass Kinder sich im Risikopool derjenigen befinden, die überhaupt in eine Stieffamilie eintreten können. Insbesondere Kinder höher gebildeter Eltern haben ein signifikant geringeres Risiko außerhalb einer Partnerschaft geboren zu werden oder die Trennung oder Scheidung der Eltern zu erleben und sind somit seltener im Risikopool derjenigen zu finden, die in eine Stieffamilie eintreten können.
Rollenverhalten und soziale Netzwerke in großstädtischen Familien
Authors: Hennig Marina
Published: March 2021

With her book 'Family and social network' Elisabeth Bott has inspired several follow-up studies. In her study, Bott pointed out that social networks, as a social environment, are incorporated into family life, and therefore play an important role in the division of work within a family. While studies of egocentric network analysis have progressed since the publication of the book, Bott's thesis will nonetheless serve as the starting point of this study. If Elisabeth Bott's findings are reliable, we should find that families with similar behaviour have concurrent structures of characteristics within their networks. Results of a study conducted in Germany in 2003 indicate on the one hand that, in the meantime complementary applied gender roles have become more differentiated, and that relationships between married couples have become more egalitarian with regard to the division of work within the households. On the other hand, network relationships are organized functionally, and are independent of the division of work in the family. In contrast to the family structure of the 1960s, and as a result of the shift in social demands made on families, it appears that a functional separation of the external and internal affairs of families with children has occurred.

Zusammenfassung

Elizabeth Bott hat mit ihrem Buch 'Family and social network' zahlreiche Folgestudien angeregt. Sie hat mit ihrer Studie darauf hingewiesen, dass die sozialen Netzwerke - als soziales Umfeld - in das Familien eingebunden sind, eine bedeutende Rolle für die Arbeitsteilung in der Familie spielen. Vor dem Hintergrund der inzwischen weiter entwickelten Methoden der egozentrierten Netzwerkanalyse, wird diese zentrale These von Elisabeth Bott zu Ausgangspunkt des Beitrages genommen. Denn ließe sich die These von Elisabeth Bott stützen, so müssten Familien mit ähnlicher Rollenaufteilung auch übereinstimmende Strukturmerkmale in ihren Netzwerken aufweisen. Im Ergebnis einer dazu in Deutschland 2003 durchgeführten Studie zeigt sich, dass sich seit den Studien von Elisabeth Bott die komplementär angelegten Geschlechterrollen ausdifferenziert haben und dass das Verhältnis der Partner in Bezug auf die Arbeitsteilung egalitärer geworden ist. Zum anderen sind die Netzwerkbeziehungen der Familie funktional organisiert und von den innerfamilialen Beziehungen, insbesondere der Arbeitsteilung, unabhängig. Gegenüber der Familie der sechziger Jahre ist es zu einer funktionalen Ausdifferenzierung der Innen-und Außenbeziehungen der Familien mit Kindern als Ergebnis der veränderten gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen an Familien gekommen.
