Published: December 2022

Background: The disinfection process represents an important activity closely linked to the removal of micro-organisms in common processing systems. Traditional disinfectants are often not sufficient to avoid the spread of food pathogens; therefore, innovative strategies for decontamination are crucial to countering microbial transmission. This study aims to assess the antimicrobial efficiency of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinic acid salt (IDSK) against the most common pathogens present on surfaces, especially in food-borne environments. Methods: IDSK was synthesized from maleic anhydride and characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (both 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity was performed via the broth microdilution method and time-killing assays against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IDSK concentration range: 0.5–0.002 M). The biofilm biomass eradicating activity was assessed via a crystal violet (CV) assay. Results: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of IDSK was 0.25 M for all tested strains, exerting bacteriostatic action. IDSK also reduced biofilm biomass in a dose-dependent manner, reaching rates of about 50% eradication at a dose of 0.25 M. The advantages of using this innovative compound are not limited to disinfecting efficiency but also include its high biodegradability and its sustainable synthesis. Conclusions: IDSK could represent an innovative and advantageous disinfectant for food processing and workers’ activities, leading to a better quality of food and safer working conditions for the operators.

We evaluated the immune response against the Omicron variant after mRNA-based COVID-19 booster vaccination in medical students. We prospectively enrolled medical students who received two primary doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine. The neutralizing response and the SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell response was evaluated. A total of 56 serum samples were obtained before booster vaccination. Nineteen students (33.9%) developed COVID-19 two months after booster vaccination. Of 56 students, 35 students (12 infected and 23 uninfected) were available for blood sampling four months after booster vaccination. In comparison with uninfected students, infected students showed a significantly higher level of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG (5.23 AU/mL vs. 5.12 AU/mL, p < 0.001) and rate of neutralizing response (96.22% vs. 27.18%, p < 0.001) four months after booster vaccination. There was no significant difference in the SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell response. Among 23 infection-naive students, the neutralizing response was significantly higher in those who received the mRNA-1273 booster than in those who received the BNT162b2 booster (69.07% vs. 26.43%, p = 0.02). In our study, booster vaccination with mRNA-1273 instead of BNT162b2 was significantly associated with a higher neutralizing response.

Published: December 2022

In the three years since the first outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has continued to be prevalent in our community. It is believed that the virus will remain present, and be transmitted at a predictable rate, turning endemic. A major challenge that leads to this is the constant yet rapid mutation of the virus, which has rendered vaccination and current treatments less effective. In this study, the Lactobacillus sakei Probio65 extract (P65-CFS) was tested for its safety and efficacy in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 replication. Viral load quantification by RT-PCR showed that the P65-CFS inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with 150 mg/mL being the most effective concentration (60.16% replication inhibition) (p < 0.05). No cytotoxicity was inflicted on the HEK 293 cells, human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells, or human cervical (HeLa) cells, as confirmed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The P65-CFS (150 mg/mL) also reduced 83.40% of reactive oxidizing species (ROS) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) phosphorylation in virus-infected cells, both of which function as important biomarkers for the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, inflammatory markers, including interferon-α (IFN-α), IFN-ß, and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were all downregulated by P65-CFS in virus-infected cells as compared to the untreated control (p < 0.05). It was conclusively found that L. sakei Probio65 showed notable therapeutic efficacy in vitro by controlling not only viral multiplication but also pathogenicity; this finding suggests its potential to prevent severe COVID-19 and shorten the duration of infectiousness, thus proving useful as an adjuvant along with the currently available treatments.
Community Counts: Rural Social Work in East Africa
Authors: Twikirize Janestic , Spitzer Helmut
Published: December 2022

The community plays a significant role in everyday life in rural African contexts, particularly in terms of coping and in times of crisis. In the East African region, rural communities are diverse and complex, yet most share similar vulnerabilities such as widespread poverty, lack of infrastructure and basic services, and exclusion from broader economic and political developments. They are also highly affected by processes of modernization, globalization, and rural-urban migration. Social work as a profession that deals with social problems is deemed suitable to support rural communities in their struggle for survival. In order to understand the link between community-based forms of problem solving and social work practice, a qualitative study was conducted in five countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda). A total of 155 qualitative interviews and 55 focus group discussions with key informants were conducted. The research revealed a variety of indigenous knowledge systems and innovative coping mechanisms. For rural social work to be relevant and effective, such models should be thoroughly analyzed and integrated into its professional concepts and practice. In this article, some case examples are presented and critically discussed against the background of the African philosophical concept of ubuntu, which is regarded as the ethical backbone of communal life.

Authors: Ting Su-Hie , Shamsul Mohamad Heakal
Published: December 2022

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the public were still unaware of the disease and its transmission, and information on susceptibility and severity was not well understood. During this time, stigma of COVID-19 patients had led to some people dying in their homes because they did not want to be seen seeking treatment and getting stigmatized in the process. The study examined stigma-marking of COVID-19 patients in Facebook and Twitter messages written by youth in Malaysia. A total of 100 messages were collected from the posts of young people in Twitter (n = 66) and Facebook (n = 34) from March 2020 to April 2021 during the early phase of the pandemic. The social media postings, mostly written in Malay, were analyzed for stigma-markers. The results showed that COVID-19 stigma words were mostly related to health (57%), ethnicity (29%), social class (13%), and work (1%). The frequencies of the types of stigma-marker in Facebook comments and tweets are similar. COVID-19 patients were referred to as stupid, irresponsible, and criminals. Racist remarks were also evident in the social media messages. The findings indicate that people who are already victims of the disease are victimized further due to the stigmatization by strangers and people in their social and work circles.

Published: December 2022

Future climate is expected to generate more intense hurricanes compared to the present, leading to more devastating impacts in hurricane-prone regions. Under the prospect of increasing hurricane intensity, risk assessment considering climate change is the first step in planning for hurricane risk mitigation strategies. In this study, climate-dependent regional hurricane risk is assessed for eight counties extending across the U.S. south and east coast. A hurricane impact model is developed and used to assess the regional hurricane risk by considering population vulnerability. It is found that hurricane risks in the future climate are higher than the present for all the counties, though the degree of increase is found to differ across the counties. It is also observed that the demographic composition of a region has an appreciable influence on the regional hurricane risk.

Peran Gereja-Gereja Dalam Mengatasi Krisis Ekologis Di Desa Patila
Authors: Jaya Agung
Published: December 2022

Abstract:This paper aims to describe the role of the Churches in overcoming the Ecological Crisis in Patila Village. The crisis problems that occur there are land damage, disposal of palm oil factory waste and air pollution. In this writing the author uses qualitative methods with literature studies that utilize existing sources such as trusted books, articles and journals. The author also conducts field research by conducting direct interviews with several church members to collect the data needed for this writing. Throughout the history of the church, theological fields such as biblical and systematic studies have not been made a focus because they have focused too much on emphasizing the special relationship between God and humans as Imago Dei so that the environment has not become important for the study of theologies in the past. The current ecological crisis shows clear evidence that the theology that we understand so far must be reconstructed to carry out theological renewal as soon as the spirit of reformation must always renew itself. The churches in Patila Village must take concrete steps in responding to this. There are two concrete steps proposed by the author. First, the churches in Patila Village provide advocacy assistance to church members. Second, the Commitment of the Churches in Patila Village to voice prophetic voices to the local government.

Abstrak:Tulisan ini bertujuan menguraikan tentang peran Gereja-gereja dalam mengatasi Krisis Ekologis di Desa Patila. Krisis permasalahan yang terjadi disana ialah kerusakan tanah, pembuangan limbah pabrik kelapa sawit dan pencemaran polusi udara. Dalam penulisan ini penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan studi kepustakaan yang memanfaatkan sumber-sumber yang ada sebagaimana buku-buku, artikel dan jurnal yang terpercaya. Penulis juga melakukan penelitian lapangan dengan melakukan wawancara langsung ke beberapa anggota jemaat untuk mengambil data yang diperlukan dalam penulisan ini. Sepanjang sejarah gereja menunjukkan bidang-bidang teologi sebagaimana studi biblika dan sistematika tidak menjadikan sebagai fokus karena terlalu memfokuskan diri pada penekanan hubungan khusus Allah dan manusia sebagai Imago Dei sehingga lingkungan tidak menjadi hal yang penting bagi studi teologi-teologi dimasa lalu. Krisis ekologis yang terjadi saat ini menunjukkan bukti yang nyata bahwa teologi yang kita pahami selama ini harus dikonstruksi ulang untuk segera melakukan pembaruan teologis sebagaimana semangat reformasi harus senantiasa memperbaharui dirinya. Gereja-gereja di Desa Patila harus melakukan langkah konkrit dalam menyikapi hal tersebut. Ada dua langkah konkrit yang diusulkan oleh penulis, Pertama, Gereja-gereja di Desa Patila melakukan pendampingan advokasi kepada warga gereja. Kedua, Komitmen Gereja-gereja di Desa Patila menyuarakan suara-suara kenabian kepada pemerintah setempat.

Published: December 2022

Abstract : This paper focuses on adolescents who are known to not be able to control their thoughts properly, so many of them are easily stressed. This stressful phase can lead them to take irrational actions, such as suicide. This problem then becomes very serious due to the fact that teenagers are indeed an age that is very vulnerable to suicide. Seeing this reality, this paper uses qualitative methods and literature studies in answering these problems. In particular, this paper offers the theory of Stoic philosophy from Marcus Aurelius about how to love oneself properly by prioritizing reason and rationality in making decisions, including overcoming negative emotions, in order to avoid choosing irrational actions. With the hope that the implementation of this theory in adolescents, it will help tough teenagers in living a life that will not be separated from this problem. The results of this study will contribute greatly to education, both in the family and in schools. At home parents can provide the results of this research as advice to children and at school teachers use it as advice when teaching. This certainly can be a preventive measure for suicidal tendencies in Indonesia in general, and in Toraja in particular.

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the causes, manifestations, and scale of anti-Semitism in the first post-war years on the territory of Soviet Ukraine and its consequences in consciousness and social life.

Methodology. The general scientific and special historical methods (historical-genetic, historical-typological, historical-systemic) research applied in the work made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of anti-Semitism in the post-war period, to determine the relationships between the influence of Nazi propaganda on the eve/during the war and Soviet realities in which Jews the role of the "internal enemy" was fixed. Among the methods used in the research is the verbal history method.

Scientific novelty. An attempt was made to investigate the peculiarities of Stalin's national policy in the difficult transition period from war to peace (1944-1947) using the example of the so-called "Jewish question" on the basis of various sources – from official documents, memories that appeared in Soviet times, to oral history memories of living contemporaries of the events. The content of the policy and its influence on the formation of persistent anti-Semitic sentiments in Soviet society are outlined. The new attack on Jewry officially began only in 1948, before that this issue was in a state of limbo, which was also facilitated by the foreign political situation. Therefore, it is important to investigate the specifics of the manifestation of anti-Semitism in 1944-1947 and its subsequent impact on the situation of Jews.

Conclusions. Having survived the hell of the war, the Jews faced difficulties in relations with the authorities and the population of their own country. Post-war anti-Semitism was caused by post-war devastation, the consequences of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda during the occupation, Stalin's passive and uncertain position on the Jewish question, and the traditional, for a totalitarian system, desire to have an internal enemy. Hatred of the Jews of this period manifested itself in pogroms, problems in returning to work, difficulties in returning one's home and property. However, anti-Semitism became a component of state policy only in 1948.

Aims: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common multifactorial pediatric disease. Physical examination and ultrasonographic findings are used in the screening. The severity of DDH in 0-6 month-old infants is determined by Graf classification. The severity of DDH and the age of the patient before treatment have been shown to be among the main factors determining the success rate. Socio-economic conditions of the parents also affects the success rate of Pavlik harness treatment. In this study, socio-economic and socio-cultural factors that affect the treatment success of Pavlik harness method were aimed to be determined.
Methods: The study was carried out on 66 infants with DDH between the ages of 0-6 months who admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic between 2018-2020. Interviews were conducted with the families of the infants using the questionnaire technique.
Results: All of the patients were given care by their mothers. It has been observed that there is a relationship between the education level and the success of the Pavlik harness. Also, income level of the household and living in rural and urban areas are also associated with Pavlik bandage treatment.
Conclusion: Education level, place of residence and monthly income, which are effective on health literacy, have an impact on the skill level required for Pavlik harness usage.
Farmworks: Building as a Machine for Growing Food

Traditional agricultural production is impacted by the fertility and availability of land, length of the growing season, access to freshwater, pests, CO2 fertilization, and extreme weather events. On the other hand, if a farming operation were to be integrated with the built environment in a high-performance building, then the growing operation would not be bound by season or weather conditions. Further, if this farming operation were to be attached or adjacent to a major food supplier, then transportation costs and carbon emissions would be significantly reduced. Most importantly, with today’s technology the building interior could be tuned to optimize a particular plant’s needs for light and the appropriate wavelengths for germinating, growing and flowering; the interior temperature could be adjusted to support the different temperature requirements for growing, harvesting, packaging and shipping (with temperature ranges from 38-75°F); water could be supplied with the appropriate nutrients for a specific plant, eliminating the need for organic fertilizer, which also reduces the likelihood of introducing bacteria or insects into the food; the planting beds could be stacked vertically, accessed via a forklift; and the growing day could be shifted with respect to the outdoor environment to equalize the heat produced by the lighting indoors with outdoor temperatures and seasonal variation. Farmworks is a machine for growing: the wavelength of the lighting in this indoor environment is tuned to optimize plant growth and moves vertically in pace with the plant’s height, the HVAC system keeps temperature and humidity optimal, and the building envelope is insulated and pressurized to balance interior and exterior conditions and to prevent water from condensing in the exterior wall. Here, the entire supply chain of food production occurs in one building, producing the equivalent of one acre of land using only two-and-a-half 4’x9’ towers.
ZERO HOUS[ING] 1:1 Prototype + Process: Collaborative and Experiential Education in the Global Housing and Climate Crisis
Authors:   Ryerson University, Atkinson Cheryl
Published: December 2022

Zero Hous[ing] is a recently built energy-neutral midrise housing prototype that investigated alternative sites, and alternative forms of practice and production. It used prefabrication and a carbon-sequestering palette to address the housing affordability and climate crisis. While it was produced and reads as a single-family house— it was designed to work as housing for metropolitan areas. This project considers urban typology, architectural design for aesthetics, function, health and well-being, and innovative construction methodologies to look at this problem from the bottom-up and across sectors. The objective was to build demand with consumers and industry for net-zero energy and carbon-sequestering housing by making a healthy and attractive architecture, creating site location and construction efficiencies, and demonstrating through this built prototype and its life-cycle cost and energy analysis, that it might be accessible to the many rather than the few. We realized this building with custom prefabrication and a deeply integrated design process engaging a cross-disciplinary team of professionals, educators, builders and students in all stages of the work. This project is remarkable for the ambition and scope of its definition of sustainable design (urban design, carbon footprint, energy use and construction methodology) and for its recognition that, in order to change existing paradigms we need to actively interact, and through experiments like this, develop new ways to design, build, and live collaboratively. This educational project integrated architecture, engineering, and business faculty and students at Ryerson University, Toronto Canada and an industry construction/education partner called The Endeavour Centre. We collaborated on this one-to-one scale prototype using Passive House principles, and prefabrication as an ethic. We built it using our industry partner’s team of apprentice carpenters and it is now being enjoyed as a full-time residence for its owner while we monitor its performance.
