Indigenous South African Food: Nutrition and Health Benefits
Authors: Takaidza Samkeliso
Published: May 2023

Many populations around the world rely on indigenous plant materials as their primary source of nutrition. On the continent of Africa, many rural communities continue to gather, grow, and consume these food crops. In South Africa, there are numerous indigenous food crops, such as cereals, green vegetables, and various kinds of wild fruit. This review discusses the advantages of particular indigenous foods for nutrition and health. Current literature shows that indigenous foods possess vital macronutrients and have positive health benefits. Indigenous crops have the potential to provide options for long-term food security because they have been found to be more resistant to climate change. They might also present opportunities for new products. Literature also indicates that the benefits and value of these traditional foods are still not completely appreciated in South Africa and throughout Africa. The biggest obstacle to achieving these societal benefits is the lack of scientific information about the nutritional content, health benefits, efficient processing, and preserving technology of indigenous food. The potential value of the indigenous food system may be improved if its advantages were more properly investigated.
Chlamydial Eye Infections
Authors: Özdemir Şahin Seçil
Published: May 2023

Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria causing mucosal infections. The leading agent Chlamydia trachomatis causes three clinical features in eyes: trachoma, neonatal, and adult inclusion conjunctivitis. A rare chlamydial conjunctivitis form called Lymphogranuloma Venereum conjunctivitis can be venereally transmitted. Seldomly Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia pneumonia may cause follicular conjunctivitis. Trachoma, the most sight-threatening chlamydial eye infection, lead to approximately 6 million blindness worldwide. Classical trachoma is characterized by chronic follicular keratoconjunctivitis, conjunctival scarring, and pannus formation. According to WHO at least two of the following should be present for clinical trachoma diagnosis: Superior tarsal follicles, limbal follicles or Herbert Pits, typical conjunctival scarring and vascular pannus. These should also be supported by laboratory findings such as organismal isolation and humoral or local antibody detection. The treatment consists of the personal acute sporadic trachoma treatment, the eradication of the disease, and complication management. For acute personnel treatment, systemical and topical forms of Tetracycline, Doxycycline, or Erythromycin are used. For the eradication of the disease, oral Azithromycin is a well-tolerated antibiotic. The management of the complications consists of surgical interventions for scars. In spite of developing hygiene standards and control programs, trachoma is still a major cause of infectious blindness.

Authors: Gashi Zaim , Gashi Arjeta , Sherifi Fadil
Published: May 2023

Barrett’s esophagus (BE), as a more frequent complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a metaplastic condition in which the normal squamous epithelium of the esophagus is replaced by specialized intestinal metaplastic epithelium, and that, in about 10% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the main condition for dysplasia and adenocarcinoma. The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the cardia is rapidly increasing at a rate that exceeds that of any other cancer. Recently, acid suppression with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has become the cornerstone of treatment for patients with BE. Many worldwide investigations showed that PPI is effective in the regression of BE with low-grade dysplasia and especially for the regression of intestinal metaplasia, incomplete or complete, for long-term use of these medicaments. This chapter reviews the specific endpoints of such treatment, included and our results for this dilemma.

Authors: Muñoz Diego , Rochefort Christian , Manzur Nicole , Cáceres Sergio
Published: May 2023

Partial edentulism, one or more teeth missing, is one of the most common dental problems that can be found in the population. It has multiple resolution possibilities depending on the individual characteristics of the patient. One of these options is the removable partial denture (RPD), which allows for solving complex clinic problems in a faster way and with a considerably lower operational cost compared to other treatment modalities. However, important discontentment has been reported among patients who have opted for this treatment. One of the discomforting factors for users of removable partial prostheses is the presence of visible retainers in the anterior area. In some cases, it could be possible to eliminate the retainers in the anterior sector, providing retention by mechanical friction and the choice of a removal axis.

Authors: Harjaningsih Woro
Published: May 2023

Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental illness that affects more than 21 million people worldwide of the population with significant impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from it. Because the disorder is multifaceted, treatment should address all aspects of it. Efforts to improve outcomes for people with mental illnesses frequently include incorporating the skills of various health professionals into collaborative care models. In schizophrenia outpatients, clinical pharmacy plays a critical role in ambulatory care. Pharmacists increased patient interest in health counseling regarding behavior during counseling and even initiated direct patient counseling or referrals. In conclusion, the role of clinical pharmacist in schizophrenia outpatients is as follows: educate patients and their families; maintain medication compliance in patients; create a collaborative teamwork environment and keep track of drug side effects. Family support is required in Indonesia to help schizophrenic patients recover, and education about how to stop shackling for family members with schizophrenia is critical. Given the negative stigma attached to patients and the prevalent culture of shackling, the role of pharmacists in collaborative teams with other health workers is critical in Indonesia in the future.
Surgery for Colorectal Cancer in Older People
Authors: Farrugia Alexia , Camilleri-Brennan John
Published: May 2023

Life expectancy has been increasing, and an increasing number of older patients are presenting with colorectal cancer. Surgical management of colorectal cancer in these patients poses a unique challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary team approach, as they have more comorbidities and lower functional reserves. An accurate diagnosis, a thorough patient assessment and individualized treatment is crucial in order to achieve the best possible outcome. While the overall postoperative mortality rates were significantly higher in the over 75 age group, it seems that age itself is not a risk factor for surgery. Older patients presented with more locally advanced disease, a factor that increased the overall postoperative mortality. Comorbid conditions increase the risk of postoperative mortality in these patients. When comparing different age groups with similar American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores, no significant difference was found in postoperative mortality. Laparoscopic surgery was shown to be beneficial for the elderly, with low morbidity and mortality and a shortened hospital stay. Patients with rectal cancer benefit from transanal endoscopic surgery as a primary procedure or as part of a ‘watch and wait’ strategy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Early elective surgery and the avoidance of emergency major surgery whenever possible, by for example the use of stents followed by elective resection in cases of colonic obstruction, will help improve outcomes.
Vitamin C Promotes Wound Healing: The Use of in Vitro Scratch Assays to Assess Re-Epithelialization
Authors: S. Weeks Benjamin , Fu Ruiqin , Zaidi Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Vitamin C contributes to the health of the cardiovascular, immunological and nervous system and also supports healthy bone, lung, and skin function and wound healing. The mechanism of action of vitamin C in human health is as diverse as its targets and effects. For example, vitamin C functions as an antioxidant, signals changes in gene expression, plays a role in protein metabolism, and serves a cofactor in several biosynthetic pathways including collagen synthesis. Here in this chapter we will explore the role of vitamin C in support of improved wound healing during the re-epithelialization stage. While vitamin C supports wound healing in early stages by reducing inflammation, vitamin C continues to support wound healing by promoting collagen synthesis and epithelial cell migration in the re-epithelialization stage. The re-epithelialization stage of wound healing has been modeled and investigated using an in vitro scratch-assay in which a monolayer of epithelial cells is scratched to create a gap or void in the monolayer to represent the wound. The rate of epithelial cell migration back across this gap to re-establish the monolayer can then be used as a model and measurement of the re-epithelialization stage of wound healing. Again, this Chapter will review the literature on both a) the uses of in vitro scratch assays to investigate the mechanism of vitamin C enhanced epithelial cell migration and b) the potential uses of the in vitro scratch assay to study the bioavailability and absorption of liposomal vitamin C.

Air Quality in Mexico City after Mayor Public Policy Intervention
Authors: Méndez-Astudillo Jorge , Caetano Ernesto , Pereyra-Castro Karla
Published: May 2023

Air pollution can be produced from anthropogenic or natural sources. Most of the policies enacted to improve air quality focus on reducing anthropogenic sources of pollution, but if natural sources increase, then air quality does not improve with these policies. In this chapter, we first define the diurnal and monthly cycle of particulate matter and ozone concentration, depending on the weather, using data from air quality monitoring stations from Greater Mexico City. We then look at a mayor public policy intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic that drastically reduced anthropogenic sources of PM but did not reduce natural sources by doing robust trend analysis on air quality station data. We evaluate the effect of these interventions by looking at national air quality standards and the number of days air pollutants have been within recommended levels. The results show that during lockdown, air quality improved because less anthropogenic sources of PM were active. However, natural sources contributed to air pollution during that time.

The shipping industry, one of the least regulated sources of artificial emissions, has grown rapidly over the past decades. Increasing ship traffic has significantly affected the air quality in areas around seaports and navigational channels, especially in coastal areas. By processing the data set from the Automated Identification System (AIS) provided by Marinetraffic, this study has built a secondary database of high-resolution ship emissions for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which was ranked 26th in the top 50 largest container ports in the world, according to the 2018 ranking of The Journal of Commerce (JOC),. The amount of CO, CO2, NOx, and SO2 emissions across the region from June to November 2019 is estimated at 0.82; 489.74; 2.69; 1.13x103 tons. Cruising mode of ships are the largest contributor in the total emissions of 43-47%, followed by the berths that also contribute a significant amount of emissions from 34-41%. By ship type, container ships are the largest group with 58104 ships and emit the most 210.87x103 tons of emissions, followed by dry tankers and oil tankers. These three types of ships account for 73.4% of total emissions. The specific Bottom-up approach is the STEAM model that was used to calculate the emission levels of 7 different ship groups. The results of the study can be used to propose effective solutions to limit the impact of ship emissions on Ho Chi Minh City's air quality.

Passive air sampling (PAS) method has been successfully developed using isotope standards 13C-labeled PCDDs/PCDFs as surrogates on the PUF disks from the beginning of sampling to monitor PCDDs/PCDFs from different sources of pollution, with very different levels of PCDDs/PCDFs in ambient air in the actual conditions of monsoon tropical climates with hot, wet weather and high temperatures in Vietnam. The 13C-labeled PCDD/PCDF surrogates acted as quantitative standards in the seasonal PAS process (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in the North and/or every 3 months in the dry and rainy seasons in the Central. At least 96.9% of all surrogates had the retention efficiencies of 17% to 185% on PUF disks, which were equivalent to that required by US EPA 1613B method for the recovery efficiencies only at sample preparation. This development method was shown to be reliable with 91.6% of the total PCDD/PCDF congeners which their relative percent differences (RPDs) between PCDD/PCDF concentrations on the PUF disks of field duplicates were not exceed 40% and an average RPD of only 7.4% to 30.5% for both PAS process and laboratory analysis.

Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) is an introduced species form Japan and is raised in Vietnam waters. Relatively little is known about effect of stocking density on oyster filtration rate. So, the goal of this study investigates the filtration rate of Pacific oyster based on variation of the oyster density. The study was carried out with adult oysters of similar shell size (range from: 7.0-9.8 cm; average: 8.28±0.51 cm) collected in Nha Phu lagoon, Khanh Hoa province. The first order kinetic model and the composite exponential kinetic model were used to estimate oyster filtration rate (FR) based on the reduction of algal density over time. In which, the composite exponential kinetic model is more suitable than the first order kinetic model to estimate the Pacific oyster filtration rate (provide algal once-initial). The results of both models showed that oysters at low density gave a better filtration rate than oysters at high density and that this filtration rate was maximum: 1.28 (L/hr/g dry).

Published: May 2023

The rise and control of artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting society as a whole. It follows that AI coverage must inform audiences about the implication of the technology itself, beyond journalism. For instance, reporting on the power dynamics in the changing relationship between companies, authorities, citizens and computer chips, and between data and algorithms. While many AI deployments serve public interest, journalists also need insight and expertise to alert about aspects like exclusions, unequal benefits, and violations of human rights. As part of its journalism education series, UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) has supported the World Journalism Education Council in commissioning this handbook. The aim is to inspire and empower so that journalism educators can help both journalism students and working journalists do justice to one of the major issues of our times. The handbook covers: Understanding machine intelligence and identifying different types of AI; Exploring AI’s potential, as well as its strengths and weaknesses; Imagining diverse futures with AI by recognizing pervasive popular narratives that inform public consciousness; Understanding journalism’s role in mediating and shaping AI discourse; Finding ways of reporting about AI in a nuanced, realistic and accountable manner; Making connections to existing genres of journalism, ranging from general news reporting to data journalism. Strengthening journalism education is one of the key results sought by IPDC, a unique intergovernmental programme within the UN system that specializes in media development.

Ulama adalah pemuka agama atau pemimpin agama yang hadir untuk membimbing dan mengurus permasalahan agama didalam ruang lingkup masyarakat, baik masalah muamalat, kepercayaan maupun ibadah. Ulama merupakan sosok yang sangat berpengaruh besar, karena kebutuhan manusia bukan hanya pada jasmaninya saja, akan tetapi ada yang lebih penting yaitu urusan ruhani. Selain jasmani dan ruhani Allah SWT pun ciptakan tiga potensi lainnya berupa akal, hati dan nafsu, kelimanya membutuhkan seorang pembimbing supaya potensi tersebut berfungsi dengan sebaik- baiknya, pembimbing tersebut adalah seorang ulama. Kualifikasi ulama yang haq-lah yang akan memberikan bimbingan paripurna kepada setiap umat manusia, banyaknya aliran agama adalah bentuk dari banyaknya perbedaan pemikiran ulama dalam mengijtihadkan sebuah syari'at. Umat yang awam akan mengikuti ulama mana saja tanpa mengetahui syarat dan kualifikasi ulama yang haq itu seperti apa. Syarat dan kualitatifikasi seorang ulama perlu diperhatikan keberadaannya, sebab ulama adalah tokoh utama yang berperan penting dalam agama sekaligus pengganti para nabi dan Rosul dizamannya. Seorang ulama yang haq adalah ulama yang dapat mengajak atau merubah dari lima hal kepada lima hal lainnya: dari ragu kepada yakin; dari permusuhan kepada nasihat; dari takabur kepada tawadhu’; dari riya’ kepada ikhlas dan dari cinta dunia yang berlebihan kepada zuhud” Tanda-tanda tersebut hanya dapat dirasakan oleh hati setiap manusia, kenikmatan dalam menjalankan ibadah akan dirasakannya. Setelah menemukan ulama yang memenuhi kriteria tersebut, istiqomah didalam bimbingannya adalah jalan yang akan menghantarkan kepada kehidupan yang selamat baik dunia maupun akhirat.
Is add-on budesonide-impregnated nasal dressing useful following endoscopic sinus surgery with perioperative oral steroid?
Authors:   , Taweewuthisub Onusa
Published: May 2023

Some chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) have unfavorable results despite proper postoperative treatments including oral and topical steroids. Steroid-impregnated absorbable nasal dressing has been shown to improve outcomes of the surgery. In some clinical practices, budesonide-impregnated nasal dressing is used together with perioperative oral steroid but the additional benefits of it are still unknown. This study aims to determine whether budesonide-impregnated nasal dressing had any benefits following ESS when a short course of oral steroid was given in perioperative period. This is a prospective, double-blinded, within person randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in tertiary care hospital. Eighteen consecutive patients (36 nostrils) with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who underwent bilateral ESS were enrolled. At the end of surgery for each patient, one side of the ethmoid cavity and middle meatus was randomly given polyurethane foam soaked with 2 mL of budesonide inhalation solution (0.5 mg/ 2 mL) (budesonide side), while the contralateral side received 2 mL of normal saline-soaked polyurethane foam (control side). Postoperative care included oral antibiotics, a short course of oral steroid and budesonide nasal irrigations. Single assessor who was blinded to the randomization allocation evaluated mucosal inflammation and wound healing at 2 and 4 weeks after surgery using Perioperative Sinus Endoscopy (POSE) score. Results revealed a total of 36 nostrils were randomized into two groups: 18 to budesonide side and 18 to control side. All of them were analyzed. The preoperative Lund-Mackay computed tomography score did not show a significant difference between groups. There was no significant difference in POSE score between budesonide and control sides at 2 and 4 weeks after surgery. Budesonide-impregnated polyurethane foam did not provide additional benefits on mucosal inflammation and wound healing in the patients who underwent ESS and received a short course of oral steroid perioperatively.

วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์ในการศึกษาสองประเด็นด้วยกันคือ 1. เพื่อศึกษาเทคโนโลยีที่ส่งผลต่อชนชั้นทางสังคม 2. เพื่อศึกษาลักษณะชนชั้นทางสังคมของแกร็บแท็กซี่ ซึ่งเป็นการวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพ (Qualitative Research) ในลักษณะที่เป็นกรณีศึกษา (Case Study) ผู้เขียนรวบรวมข้อมูลจากเอกสารและการสังเกตแบบมีส่วนร่วม (Participant Observation) มาวิเคราะห์ข้อมูล โดยนำข้อมูลที่ได้จากการค้นคว้าวิจัยมาเชื่อมโยงและหาความสัมพันธ์ของข้อมูล เพื่อที่จะนำไปสู่การตีความ (Hermeneutics)

ผลการศึกษาชี้ให้เห็นว่า เทคโนโลยีเป็นปัจจัยสำคัญในการพัฒนาของระบบทุนนิยมแพลตฟอร์มในปัจจุบัน และเป็นปัจจัยที่ทำให้ความสัมพันธ์ทางชนชั้นเปลี่ยนไปจากเดิม เป็นความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างผู้มีและไม่มีอำนาจในการควบคุมแพลตฟอร์ม(ปัจจัยในการผลิต) การแสวงหากำไรจากแพลตฟอร์ม และทำให้แพลตฟอร์มนั้นเสมือนเป็นของสาธารณะ แกร็บแท็กซี่เป็นหนึ่งในอาชีพที่ต้องพึ่งพาแพลตฟอร์มในการทำงาน ส่งผลให้ลักษณะการทำงานของแกร็บแท็กซี่มีลักษณะคล้ายคลึงกับชนชั้นกลาง กล่าวคือเป็นเจ้าของปัจจัยในการผลิตเอง เลือกเวลาในการทำงานเองได้ แบกรับความเสี่ยงที่เกิดขึ้นเสมือนเป็นเจ้าของธุรกิจส่วนตัว และสามารถเลือกทำงานแกร็บแท็กซี่ในเวลาว่างหลังเสร็จสิ้นจากงานประจำได้ เป็นอิสระในการตัดสินใจที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการทำงาน และในขณะเดียวกันนั้นแกร็บแท็กซี่ก็มีลักษณะคล้ายคลึงกับชนชั้นแรงงานที่ถูกแพลตฟอร์มของบรรษัทข้ามชาติขูดรีดมูลค่าส่วนเกินด้วย ดังนั้นอาชีพแกร็บแท็กซี่จึงมีความเป็นชนชั้นกลางและชนชั้นแรงงานในบางเวลา สอดคล้องกับทฤษฏีตำแหน่งของชนชั้นที่ขัดแย้งกันเองภายใน (Contradictory Class Location theory)

MEIO AMBIENTE DIGITAL DO TRABALHO
Authors: Lemgruber Ebert Paulo Roberto
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo tem por escopo a investigação a respeito da integração das estruturas laborais estabelecidas no ciberespaço (p. ex.: sistemas, aplicativos, plataformas, softwares, redes sociais, etc.) no conceito jurídico de meio ambiente do trabalho, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Para tanto, toma-se como problema a ser enfrentado os efeitos potenciais que a inovação tecnológica vivenciada nas últimas décadas pelos meios telemáticos tendem a acarretar nos elementos condicionantes do trabalho e na integridade psicofísica dos trabalhadores.   Para o enfrentamento de tal problema, busca-se delimitar, em um primeiro momento, a abrangência dos conceitos da psicodinâmica do trabalho que compõem o meio ambiente do trabalho e as possibilidades de  integração de um segmento digital a tal conceito, para se averiguar, na sequência, em que medida os elementos virtuais ali estabelecidos concorrem para o incremento dos riscos passíveis de afetar a integridade psicofísica dos trabalhadores e sua qualidade de vida. Demonstra-se, ao final, a existência efetiva da faceta digital pertinente ao meio ambiente do trabalho, bem assim a aplicabilidade a tal segmento das diretrizes e dos conceitos jurídicos elencados nos artigos 193, 200, VIII e 225 da Constituição Federal e na Lei nº 6.938/81.

La mortandad de la empresa familiar en México alcanza el 80 % en los primeros 10 años, y 7 de cada 10 de las que sobreviven ese primer periodo desaparecen después del fallecimiento del fundador. Solo entre el 10 % y 15 % de las empresas consiguen transitar a la siguiente generación. Si consideramos que las empresas familiares representan el 83 % de las organizaciones en México, es preocupante que la mayoría no tenga claridad sobre la estrategia de incorporación de la siguiente generación, que les permita contar con personas preparadas para lograr una tran­sición adecuada.
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar cuál es la percepción de los jóvenes que han vivido el proceso de incorporación a la empresa familiar; conocer sus prácticas favorables, su formación, sus dinámicas familiares y la­borales que incidieron para ello. A través de un estudio, con diseño exploratorio descriptivo, se aplicaron entre­vistas semiestructuradas, se aplicó un análisis de categorías para analizar su preparación como futuros líderes y perspec­tiva al sumarse a la empresa familiar. Se identificaron los mecanismos que más ayudaron en su incorporación a la empresa, sugerencias en el manejo de relaciones familia­res y si las funciones los están preparando para tomar el liderazgo de la empresa.
