Published: June 2021

Sticky layer of Clarias gariepinus eggs cause the clumping of eggs immediately after fertilization, this create low oxygen, and increase pathogenic infection, thereby reducing fertilization and hatching rate hence reduces in mass production of C. gariepinus seed. Although various substances are use in the removal of the sticky layer, no information is available about the use of watermelon. Therefore, the present study, aim in exploring the potential of using watermelon in removing the sticky layer of C. gariepinus to enhance production. Fertilized eggs were treated with watermelon juice (T1) for comparison with 14 g L-1 milk solution (T2 as de-adhesion reference) and water as control (T0 as adhesion reference). The treatments were agitated with aeration for 30 minutes, rinsed with water, and poured on respective netted hatching trough, with water recirculation for incubation at 27 0C for 24 h period. Except for T0, no clumping of eggs was observed in the remaining groups. Slight variation in attaining a developmental stage among eggs was observed in eggs treated with watermelon. Hatching and survival rate in T2 are higher than T1 and T0 (P<0.05). However, watermelon indicated the potential, as it removed the sticky layer while maintaining hatching and survival rate as in the control (T0) (P>0.05), more should be explored before adoption of watermelon for de-adhesion and incubation of C. gariepinus eggs.

Authors: Yıldırım Meltem Pınar , Ateş Özcan Burcu
Published: June 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışma, yetişkin bireylerde diyet enerji yoğunluğunun, diyet kalitesi ve antropometrik ölçümler ile olan ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Bireyler ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 19-65 yaş arası 271 yetişkin dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara sosyo-demografik verilerinin sorgulandığı bir anket formu yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile uygulanmış, bireylerin antropometrik ölçümleri alınmıştır. Ayrıca katılımcılardan 24-saatlik geriye dönük besin tüketim kaydı alınmıştır. Besin tüketim kaydı aracılığı ile diyet kalitesi ve diyet enerji yoğunluğu hesaplanmıştır. Diyet kalitesinin belirlenmesinde “Diyet Kalite İndeksi-Uluslararası (DKİ-U)” ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Diyet enerji yoğunluğu ise “sadece katı yiyecekler” ve “katı yiyecekler + içecekler” olmak üzere iki farklı hesaplama yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalamaları 27.9 ± 10.60 yıldır. Katılımcıların “sadece katı yiyecekler” ortalama diyet enerji yoğunluğu 1.43 ± 0.49 kkal/g, “katı yiyecekler + içecek” ortalama diyet enerji yoğunluğu 1.19 ± 0.42 kkal/g olup, erkeklerin ortalama değerleri kadınlardan daha yüksektir (p>0.05). Katılımcıların diyet kalite indeksi 47.8 ± 9.79 puan olup erkeklerin indeks puanları kadınlardan daha yüksektir (p>0.05). Diyet kalitesi iyi olan katılımcıların diyet enerji yoğunluğu, kötü olanlara kıyasla daha düşüktür (p<0.001). Her iki yöntemle hesaplanan diyet enerji yoğunlukları ile diyet kalitesi arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı ilişki saptanırken, antropometrik ölçümler ile diyet kalitesi arasında bir ilişki saptanamamıştır.

Sonuç: Diyet enerji yoğunluğunun yüksek olması, diyet kalitesinin kötü olması ile ilişkilendirilirken, beden kütle indeksi, vücut ağırlığı, bel/boy ve bel/kalça oranları ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkiler saptanamamıştır. Diyet kalitesinin kötü olması ve yüksek enerji yoğunluklu beslenmenin sağlık üzerine olumsuz etkilerini gösteren çalışmalar göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, diyet kalitesini arttıracak enerji yoğunluğu düşük bir beslenme tarzının benimsenmesi önemlidir. Diyet enerji yoğunluğunun antropometrik ölçümler ile ilişkisini yansıtan daha çok çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
Whole Life: a feasibility study of a recovery-focussed intervention in patients with stabilised schizophrenia
Authors: Gale Tim M. , Woodward Jan , Meredith-Windle Glynis , Balakumar Thanusha , Littlechild Brian , Hawley Chris J.
Published: June 2021

Background: The Recovery Approach is about supporting people to live the best life they possibly can. This paper reports on a 2008-11 study of a recovery-focussed, one-to-one coaching programme called Whole Life (WL) in a group of people with stabilised schizophrenia. WL comprises 15 modules, each addressing an aspect of life that may pose challenges for someone with mental illness. It involves regular meetings with a coach, additional homework activities and lasts approximately one-year. This level of commitment requires participants to be motivated and enthusiastic.

Methods: This was a non-randomised feasibility study, designed to assess acceptability and potential benefits of WL. The WL group was compared to another group of people with the same diagnosis, who received their usual treatment. This was not a strict control group. The primary outcome measure was the Social Adaptation Self-Assessment Scale.

Results: Of those recruited to the WL group, 33/44 (75%) completed the full programme. WL participants showed an 11-point increase in mean SASS between baseline and Week 60. Subjective ratings showed benefits of WL at 3 and 6 months after the intervention had ceased, with most saying they felt better and none saying that they felt worse. The comparison group was more ill than the WL group at baseline and showed some improvement over the course of the study, albeit at a lower level than the WL group. However, controlling for baseline group differences meant that none of the outcome measures could reliably distinguish between WL and comparison groups.

Conclusions: The study showed that WL is an acceptable and helpful intervention for motivated and enthusiastic individuals. It may have wider applicability for people with a less serious and chronic mental illness, although we do not know how it compares to other interventions. We discuss some methodological limitations of the study.

The purpose of the study is to analyze and to evaluate the decisions of specialists of the Disaster Medicine Service of the regions on the application of routing principles during medical evacuation of victims in emergency situations and to identify ways to improve the quality and efficiency of medical evacuation measures in emergencies with a large number of victims arisen in suburban – up to 50 km from the city – zone and in remote – more than 50 km from the city – area. Materials and research methods. The materials of the study were 85 variants of solutions to the situational task «100 affected». The task had different structure of lesions in their localization and severity, different proportion of adults and children and variants of the place of occurrence of emergency situations. The tasks solutions were analyzed using case study technology and SWOT analysis method. Research results and their analysis. Medical specialists who took part in solving situational tasks-cases and experts from the Headquarters of the All-Russian Disaster Medicine Service revealed a fairly large number of factors affecting the quality of medical evacuation measures in emergencies. These factors in relation to SWOT analysis can be structured into «internal» (strengths and weaknesses) and «external» – enlarging opportunities for high-quality medical evacuation measures and reducing their risks. Analysis of the identified factors in relation to medical evacuations in emergencies revealed strengths and weaknesses of each option: — prevalence of «internal» strengths during medical evacuation in an emergency in the city, and the presence of certain risks – see Message 1 – option No. 1; — similar positions are determined during medical evacuation in an emergency in a suburban area, but with a number of differences affecting routing – Message 2 – option No. 2; — in an emergency in a remote area, a large number of «internal» weaknesses and «external» risks are compensated by available opportunities – Message 2 – option No. 2. For all emergency conditions, a weighted score of factors is given. As a result, the goal of the SWOT analysis was achieved – ways to improve treatment and evacuation measures were identified to develop strategies for «breakthrough», «development», «defense» and «containment» in each scenario of emergencies.

The aim of the study is to analyze the main results of optimization of the work of aviation medical brigades in a metropolis and the dynamics of typical reasons for refusal to use an ambulance helicopter. Materials and research methods. The article presents the characteristics of the BK-117C-2 (EC-145) helicopter used to deliver patients to a specialized medical organization. A retrospective analysis of all aviation medical brigades flights of the Scientific and Practical Center for Emergency Medical Aid of the Moscow Department of Health in 2017–2019, as well as a comparative analysis of aviation medical brigades performance indicators for 2005–2007 and 2017–2019, was carried out. The main compared indicators: time from the call to the departure of an ambulance helicopter to a patient; time of aviation medical brigade arrival to the place of call; total time before the patient is admitted to a specialized hospital; typical reasons for a refusal to use a helicopter when there is a call for it. Research results and their analysis. The analysis of the research results led to the following conclusions: use of helicopters to provide emergency medical care and to carry out air ambulance evacuation of patients in a metropolis makes it possible to successfully solve a number of complex problems. With the start of optimization and the introduction of algorithms for the operation of ambulance helicopters, flight time to a patient decreased by 2019, compared to 2007, by 1.9 times – from (33.2±1.07) to (17.8±0, 72) min; when evaluating the results of optimizing the aviation medical brigades work in Moscow, it should be borne in mind that there are objective limitations when using an ambulance helicopter. If you do not take into account reasons such as a patient’s refusal or a lack of indications for helicopter evacuation, impossibility of using an ambulance helicopter in the metropolis was on average: in 2017–2019 – 6.51% (210 cases per 3227 applications); in 2005-2007 – 10.23%. For about 10 years, impossibility of evacuating a patient to a specialized hospital has decreased for objective reasons by 3.72%, which emphasizes the effectiveness of the developed algorithms for air ambulance evacuation of urgent patients in a metropolis.

Authors: Doddabasawa - , Chittapur BM
Published: June 2021

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) being an important tropical tree, traditional neem-based agroforestry (bund/boundary/scattered tree planting with field crops) systems were evaluated for their carbon sequestration (CS) potential, soil quality, pest dynamics and provisioning services in comparison with prevailing grain based system in the tropical India. Results revealed higher economic gain from soil quality services followed by CS in all the agroforestry systems among the non-marketable services, whereas higher provisioning services were obtained with crops alone. In all, total economic value was higher in boundary planting ($ 1053.94/ha/yr) followed by bund planting ($ 961.95/ha/yr) and was lower with scattered planting ($ 939.76/ha/yr). However, the provisioning services ($ 841 - 889/ha/yr) rendered by agroforestry systems were lower than those of agriculture alone ($ 904/ha/yr) but were still significant from ecological and sustainable angles.

Effects of Bavistin and Cefotaxime on in vitro Contaminant free Shoot Regeneration of Ruellia tuberosa L.
Authors: Lakshmi PV Chaithanya , Reddy CM Narendra , Srinivas B
Published: June 2021

In general, antimicrobial agents are often used in micropropagation techniques to obtain contaminant free clones. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of bavistin and cefotaxime on producing contaminant free plants of Ruellia tuberosa cultured on MS supplemented with phytohormones. Field grown nodal explants of Ruellia tuberosa was used to regenerate entire plants via direct organogenesis. Among the decontaminants tested, the fungicide bavistin along with higher concentration of BAP (2.0 mg/l) and lower concentration of NAA (1.0 mg/l) was the most effective in regeneration and producing contaminant free shoots from cultured explants. This fungicide at 300 mg/l minimised fungal contamination with survival rate of 54%. While the addition of decontaminant cefotaxime at low concentration (200 mg/l) along with same concentration of BAP and NAA stimulated the bud formation and controlled the bacterial contamination. However, its increasing concentration adversely affected the survival rate of Ruellia tuberosa. These findings clearly showed that low concentrations of bavistin and cefotaxime were not only non-toxic but also facilitated bud regeneration. The results achieved showed the decisive role not only of the use of successful fungicides and antibiotics, but also of their sufficient doses were very important in reducing contamination and helping multiple shoot proliferation.

Published: June 2021

With the goal of providing optimal care to patients, student-centered active learning and the development of clinical competency have become vital components of the education of future physicians capable of sustainably coping with future challenges. However, the shape of future medicine is dramatically changing based on advances in information and communication technology, and the current classroom model seems to have difficulties in fully preparing students for the future of medicine. New trends in teaching and assessment methods include computer-aided instruction, virtual patients, augmented reality, human patient simulations, and virtual reality for the assessment of students’ competency. The digital technologies introduced in medical and dental education include Google Forms to collect students’ answers, YouTube livestreaming, Google Art & Culture (an online art museum), and choose-your-own-adventure as a story-telling technique. Innovations in digital technology will lead the way toward a revolution in medical and dental education, allowing learning to be individualized, interactive, and efficient.

Authors: Mahathir Mahathir , Wiarsih Wiwin , Permatasari Henny
Published: June 2021

Background: The progress of the fight against HIV is highlighted by significant change. HIV of the past is different from HIV of the present. Healthcare services have played an essential role in achieving the optimal goals needed to end the HIV epidemic. However, people living with HIV and those at risk of catching it (PLWH) often misunderstand the rapid growth of HIV healthcare service options.Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of PLWH in the healthcare services featured in this study.Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2017 with 12 PLWH who engaged with healthcare services in Jakarta, Indonesia, by using a purposive sampling technique. Semi-structured questions were asked which related to their experiences of using the services. Stevick Colaizzi Keen method was used to extract the thematic analysis of the study.Results: The study developed four essential themes of PLWH healthcare use. They were accessibility, availability at all healthcare levels, comprehensiveness of service, and affordability.Conclusion: Providing accessible healthcare services is considered essential by PLWH. It is also pivotal to helping people feel positive about the community-related healthcare services on offer. Nurse-led HIV services must maintain this progress by continuously evaluating the quality-of-service outcomes and promoting the accessibility of the services to the broader population.
Synthesis and Sintering of Nanostructured ZrB2-SiC Composite
Authors: Shon In-Jin
Published: June 2021

ZrB2 is considered a candidate material for ultra-high temperature ceramics because of its high thermal conductivity, high melting point, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Despite these attractive properties, applications of ZrB2 are limited by its low fracture toughness below the brittle-ductile transition temperature. To improve its ductile properties, the approach universally utilized has been to add a second material to form composites and fabricate nanostructured materials. One example of this is the adding of SiC to ZrB2 to improve fracture toughness. SiC has low density, excellent resistance to oxidation in air, and a high melting point. Therefore, SiC may be a promising additive as a reinforcing material for ZrB2-based composites. A dense nanostructured ZrB2-SiC composite was rapidly synthesized and sintered by high-frequency induction heating (HFIH) within 4 min in one step, from mechanically activated powders of ZrC, 2B and Si. Simultaneous combustion synthesis and consolidation were accomplished using the combination of current and mechanical pressure. A highly dense ZrB2-SiC composite with a relative density of up to 98.4% was fabricated using the simultaneous application of 70 MPa pressure and an induced current. The mechanical properties (toughness and hardness) and the average grain size of the composite were investigated.
Leaky Bodies and the Stickiness of Testosterone in Women's Athletics
Authors: Moyer Valerie
Published: June 2021

This article argues for a critical re-evaluation of anti-doping testing practices in international athletics, performed by The International Olympic Committee and World Athletics, as overseen by the World Anti-Doping Agency. By carefully analysing anti-doping testing procedures and data taking, the conceptions of the body, with its multiplicity and sticky properties of testosterone become evident, revealing obscured connections between anti-doping and sex testing practices. Using a biopolitical framework, I trace the ways anxieties over gender, athletic ability, and race shape molecular level testing mechanisms, constructing and de-constructing the body in the process. This article draws on New Materialist theories and Feminist Science and Technology Studies scholarship, including: Anne Fausto-Sterling’s history of hormones; Sara Ahmed’s concept of ‘sticking’; Annemarie Mol’s ‘the body multiple’; Rebecca Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis’s work on testosterone; and Margrit Shildrick’s theory of ‘leaky bodies’ to argue that the racialised and gendered history of testosterone continue to linger on in the ways this hormone is tested and regulated in women’s athletics. This biopolitical system of surveillance in international sports is founded on an ideal of the body as autonomous, whole, and classifiable within a sexed binary. Yet, there is a distinct tension between this understanding of the body and the ways testing is executed, which relies on leaks, extractions, dissections, and manipulations of the athlete’s bodily substances to in order to discipline it into normalising categories of sex.
The Lively Intra-Actions of Athleisure: A Baradian Analysis of Fit Femininity
Authors: Brice Julie , Thorpe Holly
Published: June 2021

Since the early 2000s, athleisure (clothing designed for physical activity) has been gaining popularity as both a functional and fashionable clothing trend, particularly among women. Thus far, scholars have explored the gendered nature of athleisure and the neoliberal, postfeminist, and healthism discourses present within this fitness clothing phenomenon. However, the research has yet to account for the materiality of athleisure and its impacts upon women's experiences of fitness and the construction of idealized female bodies. In this article, we use new materialist theory, specifically Karen Barad's agential realism, to explore the material-discursive dimensions of athleisure. Drawing upon a diffractive analysis of interviews conducted with 22 women in Aotearoa New Zealand, in conjunction with social media analyses, we explore two lively intra-actions of women's athleisure-clad moving bodies – the ‘muffin top’ and the ‘big booty’ – to reveal what athleisure does to/with women's bodies. We highlight how these athleisure-body intra-actions work to create boundaries around acceptable femininity and give rise to particular constructions and meanings of women's bodies.

Authors: Osipova V. V.
Published: June 2021

The article focuses on the basic principles of diagnosis and treatment of migraine at the stage of primary health care. The diagnostic criteria of migraine, common diagnostic errors and alarming symptoms that are indications for instrumental investigations are given. The main treatment strategies of migraine are described: behavioral therapy, attack relief, and preventive therapy. Special attention is being paid to the treatment of a migraine attack, depending on its severity, including the features of the use of simple analgesics and triptans – speciﬁc drugs that have a pathogenetic antimigrenous effect. The principles of the use of tryptans that provide a high effect of relieving a migraine attack are being listed. The advantages of eletriptan as a last‑generation triptan, which is highly effective in relieving migraine attacks and is safer than other drugs in this class, are highlighted. Among the modern classes of drugs that have an evidence base in migraine prevention, those that can be successfully used by general practitioners are indicated.

Published: June 2021

Acute scrotal pain due to testicular vein thrombosis is a rare condition. Thrombosis is defined as clot formation within the blood vessels and as a result, it interrupts the blood supply of the peripheral organs. In routine urology practice, the incidence of thromboembolic diseases is <1%, and it is mostly encountered in patients at the postoperative period. Nevertheless, testicular vein thrombosis should also be remembered in the differential diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department due to acute scrotum. In general, conservative treatment is the first choice in treatment management, but surgical intervention may also be required in some cases. Since the available data on this subject are based on the information obtained from case reports, a standard treatment approach should be developed by examining the current treatment methods. We aim to present the case report of testicular vein thrombosis in the light of the literature, which is one of the rarely seen emergencies of urology.

Published: June 2021

Kretek cigarettes are a type of cigarette that is still in demand today. The manufacturing of kretek cigarettes in factories still has limitations, especially in the process weighing cigarettes per stick. From this problem, a tool is needed to separate cigarettes based on the weight of the cigarette that has been determined per stick. And the results of the cigarette weight sorter can be monitored via the website to reduce errors in the size of the clove cigarette. The method used in this study is to make a cigarette sorting tool using a conveyor with a DC servo motor component as a driving force for the conveyor to be 3 parts by weight, namely parts weigh <1.5 grams, parts weight> 1.5 grams and parts = 1.5. gram. Based on the results of the study, 1 pack of cigarettes where each pack contains 12 cigarettes shows that there are 2 cigarettes <1.5 grams, 7 cigarettes> 1.5 grams and 3 cigarettes corresponding to 1.5 grams. The results of the study indicate that the manufacture of a cigarette sorting system on the conveyor can help the cigarette weighing process to be more precise.
