Intra-operative use of biological products -- Are we aware of their derivatives?
Authors: Bhamra Navdeep , Jolly Karan , Darr Adnan , Bowyer Duncan , Ahmed Shahzada
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Global medical advances within healthcare have
subsequently led to the widespread introduction of biological products
such as grafts, haemostats, and sealants. Although these products have
been used for many decades, this subject is frequently not discussed
during the consent process and remains an area of contention. Methods: A
nationwide confidential online survey was distributed to UK-based junior
registrars (ST3-5), senior registrars (ST6-8), post-CCT fellows,
specialist associates/staff grade doctors and consultants working in
general/vascular surgery, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, oral &
maxillofacial surgery and plastic surgery. Results: Data was collected
from a total of 308 survey respondents. Biological derivatives were
correctly identified in surgical products by only 25% of survey
respondents, only 19% stated that they regularly consent for use of
these products. Our results demonstrate that most participants in this
study do not routinely consent (81%) to the intra-operative use of
biological materials. An overwhelming 74% of participants agreed that
further education on the intra-operative use of biological materials
would be valuable. Discussion: This study highlights deficiencies in
knowledge that results in potential ethical compromise of the consenting
process for surgical procedures. A solution to this would be for
clinicians to increase their awareness via educational platforms and to
incorporate an additional statement on the consent form which addresses
the potential intraoperative use of biological products and what their
derivatives may be. Conclusion: Modernising the current consent process
to reflect the development and use of surgical biological products will
help to ensure improved patient satisfaction, fewer future legal
implications as well as a better surgeon-patient relationship.

Authors: Palanisamy Murugesan , Kandasamy Kannan , Myneni Venkata
Published: June 2021

The rapid growth of technology is inevitable in humankind?s life and has a significant stint in electronic waste (e-waste) generation. Electronic waste possesses tremendous environmental and health effects, and one such major contributor to it is printed circuit boards (PCBs). The present work deals with the recovery of heavy metals from PCBs by using aqua regia as a leaching reagent in two stages (first stage HCl and HNO3 and second stage HCl and H2SO4). The response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal recovery conditions for the heavy metal ions: the recovery time of 5 h, the pulp density of 25 g/L, and the temperature of 90.1 ?C with desirability 0.761. These optimized values provide a maximum recovery rate of Cu (97.06%), Sn (94.66%), Zn (96.64%), and Pb (96.89%), respectively. EDXs are used to analyze the metal concentrations of the sample before and after treatment.
The Determination of Optimal Operating Condition For an Off-Grid Hybrid Renewable Energy Based Micro-Grid: A Case Study in Izmir, Turkey
Authors: Polat Sezai , Hacer Sekerci
Published: June 2021

Nowadays, off-grid systems, which do not require grid connection investment instead of grid connected systems, have become quite feasible. In this study, a feasibility analysis was carried out for a hybrid energy system using solar and wind energy sources to supply to uninterrupted electricity demand of a region with 100 villas in Izmir, Turkey. It has been shown that how changes cost of the hybrid energy system sizing according to the control strategies by using the HOMER software. In the paper, two different control strategies are determined as Cycle Charging (CC) and Load Following (LF), and then the control strategies are compared. According to the results obtained as a result of the simulations, it has been revealed that the research region to operate with CC can supply to the electrical energy demand with lower capacity system architecture. The CC was found to be more suitable for the research region than LF in terms of both Cost of Energy (COE) and Net Preset Cost (NPC).

Published: June 2021

Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to explore the CoachEye movement analysis application features most preferred to enhance engagement and learning experience among learners. This study adopted the mixed-method research design comprising both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Participants consisted of 30 undergraduate physical and health education major students ages between 20-26 years (16 males and 14 females respectively). The qualitative data were gathered via focus group discussions (i.e., 6 sessions, 5 participants/session) while quantitative data were collected through a modified TSCI questionnaire at the beginning and end of this study. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS (version 26.0) using tests such as descriptive statistics (e.g., means, standard deviation, percentage) and inferential statistics to determine the relationship between variables. The paired sample t-test was also used to compare mean values between pre-and-post intervention while graph and table were utilised to demonstrate behavioural changes. The phenomenological approach was used to gather qualitative data and analysed using Consider.ly software. The participants' knowledge and perceptions towards technology-assisted physical education improve across intervention with greater efficacy (7.47 ± 0.64) at the post compared to pre-intervention (6.57 ± 0.4). With regards to features, positive values associated with the abilities to analyse movements and identification of correct and false techniques while negative values associated with confusion and lack of confidence. This study demonstrated the addition of technology was generally effective to complement teaching and learning. Nonetheless, issues such as practice time, personal preferences, and digitised perceptions serve as future challenges in this topic.

Liability Framework for Cognitive Computing in Healthcare: Standing at the Crossroad
Authors: Saripan Hartini , Mohd Shith Putera Nurus Sakinatul Fikriah , Abdullah Sarah Munirah , Abu Hassan Rafizah , Abd Ghadas Zuhairah Ariff
Published: June 2021

Abstract: Digitization across the healthcare industry has witnessed the advent of emerging Cognitive Computing (CC) healthcare technologies that improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, predict illnesses, automate routine healthcare tasks, and refine processes and care beyond human capabilities. Increased adoption of this technology can be attributed to its ability of processing enormous amounts of data promptly in addressing specific queries and producing customized intelligent recommendations. While CC’s transformative technologies offer profound benefits to the healthcare industry, it also carries an unpredictable burden of risk and mistakes with damaging consequences to patients. At this juncture, CC’s legal place in healthcare is largely undefined as the applicable liability framework is ambiguous. CC fits into the traditional liability rules in a piecemeal manner; however a single theory of recovery sufficiently addressing the potential liability questions arising from a computer system capable of practicing medicine and possessing the ability of parsing through enormous data for better patient outcomes is absent. The present research therefore sets out to chart the analysis of cases involving emerging medical technologies comparable to CC, in hope of examining ways in which the traditional theories of liability is projected to develop in adapting to this novel contrivance. A doctrinal and case study methods formed an integrated qualitative approach adopted by this research in opting the deployment of emerging medical technologies akin to CC and the bearing it has on the imposition of liability in the United States. CC’s potential contributions to healthcare are revolutionary, however its legal repercussions are just as alarming and therefore demands for more discussion in addressing the concerns.

Entrepreneurial Intention of UiTM Students and the Mediating Role of Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Imm Song Saw , Thominathan Santhanamery , Khalid Nor Aminin
Published: June 2021

Abstract: The emphasis on entrepreneurship by the Malaysian government clearly displays their effort in strengthening the entrepreneurial development in the country, which is expected to boost the economy by creating more jobs and generating new incomes. The idea is extended to local higher education institutions so as to nurture and to sustain entrepreneurial engagement among the students through formal entrepreneurial programs. The initiatives are expected to help in reducing graduate unemployment level in the country. Despite all the effort taken by the government, the uptake of entrepreneurship      among young minds is still low, and there is growing unemployment in the country. Thus, this study aims to determine the factors that affect entrepreneurial intentions among UiTM graduating students and the mediating effect of entrepreneurship education towards entrepreneurial intention through attitude, perceived behaviour control and self-efficacy. The sample consists of 429 UiTM students who have taken the entrepreneurship course. Factor analysis and Partial Least Squares methods were used to analyse the data. The findings reveal a significant relationship of attitude, perceived behaviour control and entrepreneurship education towards entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy was insignificantly related. However, the study found that entrepreneurship education partially mediates the relationship between attitude and perceived behaviour control towards entrepreneurship intention and a full mediation on self-efficacy. The findings will help the policymakers or the higher education institutes in developing a suitable policy and program in promoting entrepreneurship to the university graduates at the national level.

Authors: Rashid Naziru , Nazziwa Aisha , Kantono Rehema , Kasujja Hassan , Zziwa Swaibu
Published: June 2021

Background: The Corona virus disease, first identified in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, is a respiratory illness caused by Novel Corona Virus also known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS Cov.2). The disease is characterised by; dry cough and shortness of breath with difficulty in breathing and at least 2 of the following; fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and loss of test and smell. Uganda in general and Mbale in particular has people of diverse culture, religion and ethnic background as well as diverse socio economic activities with various practices. This multi-cultural environment creates differences in perception of information and practices. Most cultures encourage socialisation through social functions like attending weddings, funerals, work places and gatherings and Muslims who have to go for congregation prayers in the mosques 5 times a day among others. This puts such communities at risk of spreading the disease very fast and slow in adapting to control measures Aim: In this study, we aimed at assessing knowledge and practices of the community towards COVID 19 in Mbale municipality. Methods and Materials: A cross section study was used; Data was obtained using a Questionnaires to a sample of 355 respondents and an observation tool was also used to observe behaviour patterns and practices of 776 participants towards the control measures of COVID-19. Results: There was a total of 355 respondents with 208 /355 (58.59%) male and 147/355 (41.4%) female. 149/355(42%) possessed good knowledge, 131/355(36.9%) had moderate knowledge and 75/355(21%) had a little knowledge on COVID-19. Participants who were single and aged between 21-30 years were found to be more knowledgeable than other groups (P value=.001 and P value=.003 respectively).The source of COVID 19 information was mainly from television and radios 124/248 (50%) and social media 34/248 (21.8%) and the least source of information being 14/248(5.6%) and 9/248(3.6%) from health workers and Religious leaders respectively. 496/776 (64%) of the respondents observed, washed their hands and only124/776 (16%) of the respondents wore face masks. 98/776 (12.6%) were seen shaking hands and 15/776(2%) were seen hugging. Conclusion: Use of appropriate and well-designed Health education materials on radios, televisions and social media platforms like Facebook and twitter among others can be effective means of communication since they can reach the highest number of people. Ministry of Health should design ways for systematically integrating both political and religious leaders in Health Education Campaigns. Government should provide facemasks and enforce their use. A study to assess the ability of both political and religious leaders in health promotion campaigns should be carried out.
Uptake of Modern Contraceptive Methods among Burundian Women and Associated Factors: Analysis of Demographic and Health Survey Data, Burundi 2016–2017
Authors: Nkunzimana Edouard , Sufiyan Babale Mu’awiyyah , Ndoreraho Adolphe , Nyandwi Joseph
Published: June 2021

Background: Globally in 2017, Burundi was the 9th country with the highest population growth rate of 3.2% and a fertility rate of 5.5 children per woman. This probably suggested low uptake of Modern Contraceptive methods (MCM) in the country. Our analysis investigated factors associated with low uptake of MCM among women of reproductive age in Burundi. Methods: Cross sectional data of non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years was extracted from the Burundi Demographic and Health Survey (2016-2017). We analysed the data at univariate, bivariate and multivariate levels to assess factors influencing MCM uptake among these women using Epi-Info 7.2.2.6. Results: Of the 9,945 women, 2,372 (23.8%) were using MCM. Ngozi province had the highest prevalence of MCM users [284/691(37.7%)]. The most used MCM among respondents was injectable contraceptive (48.3%). As respondent’s age increases, the odds of using MCM decreases; 20-24 years (aOR=0.9, 95% CI [0.6-1.2]), 30-34 years (aOR=0.8, 95% CI [0.5-1.0]), 35-39 years (aOR=0.7, 95% CI [0.5-0.9]), 40-44 years (aOR=0.5, 95% CI [0.5-0.9]) and 45-49 years (aOR=0.4, 95% CI [0.2-0.5]) compared with those in the age group 15-19 years. Muslims (aOR=1.5, 95% CI [1.2-1.9]) and Jehovah witnesses (aOR=3.1, 95% CI [1.7-6.5]) were more likely to use MCM than Catholics. Conclusion: The prevalence of MCM remains low among women of reproductive age in Burundi, with injectables being the most used method. Factors such as respondent’s age and religion were significantly associated with MCM use. Enhanced access to family planning information and services targeting women who are 30 years or more and engaging religious leaders for their active participation is recommended.
Use of Haematological Changes as a Predictor of Dengue Infection among Suspected Cases at Kairuki Hospital in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania: A Retrospective Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Salvatory Kalabamu Florence , Maliki Shaaban
Published: June 2021

Background: Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by female Aedes mosquitoes which are commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas. There is a dramatic increase in annual incidence rate of dengue attributed to urbanisation, poor environmental management as well as increased people mobility. Outbreak of dengue have been reported in Tanzania in recent years with Dar es salaam being the most affected region. Dengue is associated with haematological derangements and itindicates the severity of the disease. These changes have not been well elucidated in Tanzanian patients. The aim of this study was to determine these derangements among dengue patients admitted at Kairuki hospital in Dar es salaam, and compare these changes with non- dengue febrile patients. Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted among patients who were suspected to have dengue; tested for dengue IgM and their Complete Blood Count were tested during the index illness. This information was obtained from Kairuki hospital laboratory database. Haematological parameters were compared between dengue and non-dengue patients using SPSS Version 20.0. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine haematological predictors of dengue positive results. Results: A total of 255 patients were enrolled, whereby 188(73.7%) were dengue positive and 67 (26.3%) were negative. Dengue patients had relatively low mean total white blood cell counts compared to non-dengue patients (Student’s test= -2.7; p value=.007). Furthermore, Mean lymphocyte count was significantly low in dengue patients compared to non-dengue patients (Student’s (t) test=-5.1; p<.001). Other haematological parameters were not significantly different. Lymphopenia was a significant predictor for dengue positive results (Adjusted Odd Ration =5.26 (95% CI=2.28-12.2; P value <.001). Conclusion: Patients with dengue had significantly low total white blood cell and lymphocyte count compared to non-dengue febrile patients. Lymphopenia is a significant haematological predictor for dengue positive results. Case defining signs and symptoms combined with these haematological changes may be used by clinicians as a guide to order confirmatory test for suspected dengue cases.

Viselkedésértés − A magatartástudomány eredményeinek hasznosítása a szakpolitika alkotásban
Authors: Taller Ágnes , Csizmadia Péter
Published: June 2021

Az elmúlt években a viselkedésértés elmélete fokozatosan elismerésre került a nagy nemzetközi szervezetek (Európai Bizottság, OECD, Világbank) által, mint a szakpolitika kialakításának hatékony eszköze. 2010-ben az Egyesült Királyság kormánya alapított viselkedésértéssel foglalkozó tanácsadó testületet (Behaviour Insights Team), 2015 óta pedig az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban kormányrendelet írja elő, hogy a kormányszerveknek be kell építeniük szakpolitikáikba a Társadalom- és Viselkedéstudományi Csoport (Social and Behavioral Sciences Team) felismeréseit. Különböző intézményesített formában Hollandia, Németország, Franciaország és Dánia is foglalkozik a témával. A közlemény a viselkedésértés elméleti alapjainak áttekintését követően az egészségfejlesztésben való alkalmazás néhány gyakorlati példáját ismerteti. Összességében elmondható, hogy a viselkedésértés alkalmazása hatékonyabbá teheti az intézkedéseket az egészségfejlesztés terén is, azonban egyelőre számos kérdést felvet a legitimáció, a hatásosság és a tudományos megalapozottság tekintetében. A viselkedésértés átlátható és következetes alkalmazása érdekében a jövőben javasolt az adott beavatkozások hatásosságának vizsgálata, és az ezzel kapcsolatos tapasztalatcsere.
A vakcináció „10 parancsolata” felnőttek védőoltásaihoz

A specifikus prevenció fontos eszközei, a védőoltások adása a legutóbbi időkig mind a laikus, mind a gyermekekkel közvetlenül nem foglalkozó egészségügyi szakemberek szemében is elsősorban az egészségesek számára fontos beavatkozásoknak számítottak. Az utóbbi évtizedben kezd elfogadottá válni az a szemlélet, hogy a vakcináció nyújtotta egészségelőnyökből a krónikus betegek, a bármilyen okból sérült immunitásúak, a csontvelő átültetésen, szervátültetésen átesettek, a biológiai ágensekkel kezeltek, valamint az idősek sem helyes, ha kimaradnak. Ahhoz azonban, hogy mindezen betegcsoportok aktuális állapotuknak és élethelyzetüknek megfelelően védőoltásokhoz juthassanak, az őket gondozó alapellátó orvosokat kell segíteni a vakcinológia gyors fejlődéséből adódó új ismeretek minél könnyebb megszerzésében. A Medscape Infectious Diseases weboldalon a közelmúltban megjelent, "A felnőttkori vakcináció 10 parancsolata" tömören összegzi a legfontosabb alapismereteket a témakörben. A szerző ezek ismertetését saját, a védőoltási tanácsadásban évtizedek alatt összegyűlt tapasztalataival kiegészítve tárja az olvasó elé.

Authors: Vilchinskii A. S.
Published: June 2021

The paper focuses on a comparative analysis of the approaches to interregional cooperation used by two Spanish regions: the Basque Country and Catalonia. The main strategic documents which set the goals, tasks and directions of the autonomous regions in interregional cooperation are considered. Factors that shape the principles of the regions in developing interregional links are described. Spanish legislation which lays foundation for interregional action of the Basque Country and Catalonia is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the key vectors of partnership between the Spanish and French territories in the framework of two Euroregions: New Aquitaine-Basque Country-Navarre and Pyrenees-Mediterranean. In addition, the main tasks stipulated in the Programme of the Catalan Presidency in the interregional association the Four Motors for Europe are examined. Furthermore, the paper identifies the role of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in the hierarchy of priorities for interregional action in both regions. As a result of the research, similarities and differences in the approaches to interregional cooperation used by the Basque Country and Catalonia are underscored.
Russia and Georgia: Time to Interact
Authors: Karpovich O. G. , Shakirov O. I.
Published: June 2021

The development of Russian-Georgian relations is determined by both long-term factors and situational circumstances. The former include disagreements between the two countries over security in Transcaucasia: the status of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the attitude toward NATO activity in the region. Another persistent factor concerns the debate over interaction with Russia in Georgia’s domestic politics. These factors limit the possibilities for expanding bilateral ties. Situational constraints include such phenomena as the COVID-19 pandemic or the domestic political crisis in Georgia after the 2020 parliamentary elections. Taken together, the longterm and situational factors set the general tone for bilateral relations, which are characterized by predictability and low dynamics. Despite the existing limitations, Russian-Georgian cooperation holds promise in areas of trade and societal contacts.

Fighting for Eurasia
Authors: Zhiltsov S. S.
Published: June 2021

Russia and non-regional States have recently shown fresh interest in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The rivalry between Russia and the United States for the post-Soviet territory, beginning after the collapse of the USSR, has broken new ground. Russia considers the post-Soviet space as an area of vital interests. Economic and political relations with its neighbors, the internal political situation in the former Soviet Republics have a direct impact on the development of Russia. These determinants can explain the renewed interest in Eurasian integration and an integration project — the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). However, the USA hardly welcomes such aspirations of Russia and the support for the integration project on the part of some post-Soviet countries. The American side has no interest in the newly emerging regional centers of influence in the post-Soviet space, regarding this as a threat to its interests. Countering the development of Eurasian integration and strengthening the EAEU influence is the focus of US policy in this regard. The EAEU member countries are consistently taking steps to develop integration despite obstacles from the West. The long-term objectives, defined in various documents by the countries, should put them on a new path of economic cooperation. Eurasian integration faces a number of difficulties along with the successes, achieved since the creation of the EAEU. The world economy problems, in addition to internal ones, exert a considerable influence. They intensified after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which negatively affected the development of the EAEU countries. The internal political problems faced by the EAEU countries adversely affect integration. The internal political crisis in Belarus, beginning in the later 2020, the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, worsened internal political struggle in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are the factors that influenced the work of the EAEU last year and early 2021. Nevertheless, economic difficulties and political events in specific countries, the pursuit of non-regional states to influence the elites of the former Soviet states have not altered the foreign policy priorities of the EAEU member states.

The policy objective of Government Purchase Price (HPP) of plantation white sugar in Indonesia is to increase the production. However, while the government increase the HPP, the production was decreased. The purpose of this study was to analize the impact of HPP policy on production of plantation white sugar in Indonesia. This study uses ex-post simulation based on econometrics model (build from monthly time series data from 2012 until 2017, consist of 13 equations and estimated using 2SLS method). The results, ex-post simulation shows that an increase HPP causes an increase in plantation white sugar production and producer surplus. However, an increase in labor wages cause decreased in production. The increase HPP also causes an increase in producer surplus. Based on producer surplus, the biggest impact of the increase in HPP was felt by the farmers.

This study was conducted on Pujodadi Village, Trimurjo, Central Lampung from September to December 2020. The study used a factorial randomized block design with two factors and three replications. The first factor is concentration of plant growth substances which consists of 5 levels; Z0 (0 ml.lt-1), Z1 (3.5 ml.lt-1), Z2 (7 ml.lt-1), Z3 (10.5 ml.lt-1) and Z4 (14 ml.lt-1). The second factor is the origin of the seed consists of three parts; P1 (top), P2 (middle), and P3 (bottom). The research objective was to study the effect of plant growth substances concentration and part of seed origin in sugarcane seedlings. The results showed that the plant growth substances concentration significantly increased the percentage of growth and the time 50% of the seeds sprouted. The seed origin of the top part showed the best growth compared to the middle and bottom. There was no interaction between plant growth substances concentration and seed origin on sugarcane seed growth.

Background. One of the significant factors in the progression of fibrotic changes in the liver is hepatocyte steatosis, that persists in drug addicted patients even after the elimination of the hepatitis C virus and cessation of drug use. Analysis of the pathomorphogenesis of hepatic steatosis in opioid dependence (OZ) will make it possible to assess the factors that affect ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes and the processes of lipid granule (LH) degradation. Objective. Assessment of ultrastructural changes in LH in the liver tissue of patients with OZ. Material and methods. Histological preparations of liver tissue from 20 patients with OZ aged 21 to 40 years (18 men and 2 women) with different duration of OZ and opioid tolerance. Results. There was established the following dependence of ultrastructural changes in the liver in patients with different duration of OZ and opioid tolerance. The most pronounced changes were noted in the group of patients with prolonged (more than 6 years) opioid intoxication and high tolerance to opioids in the liver tissue, in whom, along with severe steatosis, there were more significant violations of the mechanisms of LH degradation, destruction of cristae in mitochondria, a decrease in the number of lipophagosomes and PH with signs of superficial degradation than in the group of patients with OZ duration up to 6 years, as well as with moderate and high opioid tolerance. Conclusions. Ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes in the form of progression of steatosis in the centrilobular and periportal zones, a decrease in the activity of LH degradation, gross morphological changes in mitochondria, a decrease in the activity of surface LH degradation depend on the activity and duration of opioid dependence and are more pronounced with long-term (more than 6 years) highly progressive opioid dependence.

Background. Due to the use of modern diagnostic technique the detection rate of gallbladder polyps constitutes 3-6%, and the number of cholecystectomies for polyps reaches up to 10% of all operations on this organ. Objective. To evaluate diagnosis and treatment outcomes in patients with gallbladder polyps and to define specific indications for surgical treatment (on the basis of a large number of observations). Material and methods. The article evaluates diagnosis and treatment outcomes in 237 patients with gallbladder polyps. Results. 235 (99,2%) patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 2 (0,8%) patients with concomitant postoperative ventral hernia underwent herniolaparotomy, open cholecystectomy, anterior abdominal wall repair using a polypropylene mesh. Conclusions. Patients with small polyps (up to 5 mm) undergo follow-up ultrasound examination every 6 months; in case of doubtful findings CT or MRI of the gallbladder should be performed. The patients with medium polyps (5-10 mm) undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy provided the polyps are multiple or with a broad base, otherwise such patients are followed-up. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be performed in case of large polyps or in patients with gallstone disease regardless of polyp size.
