Determinants of tuberculosis treatment outcomes in Asia and Africa
Authors: Yuliyani Yuliyani , Sartika Ratu Ayu Dewi
Published: October 2021

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that is both infectious and deadly. Although it can be prevented and treated, the increasing number of TB patients is a nation-wide and global challenge, and thus it requires efforts to control the disease appropriately leading to good treatment outcomes. Identifying the determinants of treatment outcomes is necessary to improve control strategies and programs for TB. Scientific evidence on this issue is still limited. This systematic review aims to describe the potential determinants of TB treatment outcomes regarding the patient’s internal and external factors. The review was carried out using the procedures specified in the PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were used to identify studies related to the determinants of treatment outcomes obtained. There were 829 articles meeting the screening criteria, 23 meeting the criteria for full article review, and 21 for analysis. Most scientific evidence reports the age, sex, HIV status, and location of TB as determinants of treatment outcomes. Sorting and selecting data consistently are necessary in reporting the results of TB treatment which then becomes the foundation for formulating appropriate, targeted, effective, and most needed policies or interventions in improving treatment outcomes and reducing incidence of TB.

O fiddle na Música Tradicional Irlandesa
Authors: Schmid Aloísio Leoni , Mombach Leandro Henrique Merino
Published: October 2021

O fiddle irlandês, como instrumento, é o próprio violino, qual inventado e popularizado no Norte da Itália no séc. XVI, e popularizado na Irlanda para tocar prioritariamente músicas de dança nos ritmos da moda no séc. XVII. Todavia, o fiddle recebe hoje uma montagem distinta do violino, que pode repercutir em diferenças de ajuste, acessórios e mesmo no projeto do instrumento. Mas a principal diferença é quanto ao modo de uso (seguindo uma tradição oral, com opções estilísticas distintas do violino), caráter musical (além de melódico, rítmico e por vezes, harmônico) e finalidade (mais de confraternização com dança e contação de histórias, do que exposição do conteúdo musical ou da qualidade da apresentação). A Música Tradicional Irlandesa recebeu adaptações ao longo dos séculos, como os próprios instrumentos, e é hoje popular muitos países do globo.

Present study involves the design and optimization of oral bioadhesive delivery system of curcumin. Solid dispersion of curcumin was developed using novel hydrophilic carrier, Gelucire® 50/13, by melt granulation technique. Based on HPMC K 100 LV(X1) and carbopol 934P (X2), bio-adhesive tablets containing curcumin solid dispersion was developed by direct compression, using central composite designs for two factors at three levels. Tablet formulation was optimized for t50%, Rel24h and bioadhesive strength. The drug release mechanism was found to be by fickian diffusion, approaching zero-order kinetics. Average plasma uptake of curcumin was found to be 0.289μg/mL as compared to plain curcumin tablet formulation. The results were found highly significant (p<0.05). The swelling matrices behavior over the time period studied showed that the gelling layer thickness increases continuously. From this study, it may be concluded that the oral controlled bioadhesive curcumin delivery may be an alternative to parenteral chemotherapy.

A simple, precise, accurate, reproducible and economical stability- indicating reverse phase liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the quantitative simultaneous estimation of nebivolol and indapamide in bulk and marketed formulations. Estimation of drugs in this combination was done with a C18 column [Kromasil column. 250mm × 4.5 mm] using mobile phase of composition acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (60:40 V/V, pH 3). The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min and the effluents were monitored at 226nm. The retention time of nebivolol and indapamide were 2.9 min and 4.2 min, respectively. The method was found to be linear over a range of 10-50 μg/mL for nebivolol and 2-10 μg/mL for indapamide. The established method proved as reproducible one with a % RSD value of less than 2 and having the robustness and accuracy within the specified limits. Assay of marketed formulation was determined and found to be 99.08% and 99.87% for nebivolol and indapamide, respectively. The stressed samples were analyzed and this proposed method was found to be specific and stability indicating as no interfering peaks of degradation compounds and excipients were noticed. The method was validated according to the guidelines of International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and was successfully employed in the estimation of commercial formulations. This liquid chromatographic method can be applied for the qualitative and quantitative determination of selected drugs by the modern chemist.

Authors: Aziz Naimul
Published: October 2021

This study explores the relative connections among pedestrian movement patterns, land use and street configuration by analyzing the pedestrian volume, existing land use pattern as well as the street configuration in different streets of Mymensingh. Mymensingh is a historic town of Bangladesh which was established by the British Colonists in more than 200 years ago along the river Brahmaputra. The street patterns of Mymensingh is very unique as it was developed by the fusion of the streets made by British Colonists and the narrow streets made by the local inhabitants. By using the method of Space Syntax the configurational values of street segments are compared with the corresponding pedestrian counts. The study result shows that the correlation is very poor within this two factors as commercial land uses affects the pedestrians more.

Authors: Wongphyat Waricha
Published: October 2021

Given that a physical environment is a manifestation of its socio-cultural context, this paper seeks to examine the development of the Hua Takhe settlement, the physical components of the community, the socio-spatial interconnection, and the spatial essences of the waterfront shophouses in relation to the ownership patterns. Based on field surveys, oral histories, and observations, the research employs Hall’s theory of space to extricate the anthropological aspects of the case studies. It is noted that different types of ownership, i.e. inherited and long-term rental, affect the physical and spatial transformations as well as the social proxemics of the shophouses. This paper concludes the intimate space, the intermediary space, the spaces in space, the dialogical space, and the communal space as the key components of the waterfront dwellings in the new context.

Authors: Aziz Naimul , Nilufar Farida
Published: October 2021

This study explores the effects of urban growth and morphological transformation on land use pattern of a historic town of Bangladesh, Mymensingh by analyzing the changes of land use pattern and urban morphology through Space Syntax analysis. Mymensingh, one of the oldest and historic towns of Bangladesh, lies along the river Brahmaputra. The town was developed as an urban area during the period of British colonists more than two hundred years ago. The juxtaposition of the land uses by the British colonists along with the local inhabitants created a different and unique types of land use pattern within the town area where local establishments were in-filled within the colonial establishments. Through ages, due to the natural process of urban growth the town expands and the small colonial town turns into a larger one but the study result shows that still the strong effects of historic developments both local and colonial and the presence of the river acts as a strong guiding force for the growth and transformation of the town.
Collaborative Community Design Processes in Rural and Urban Settlements in Thailand
Authors: Sukkasame Sadanu
Published: October 2021

This paper compares two contrasting processes of low-income community design in rural and urban areas in Thailand. The low-income Srabot community in the urban area is constructing a new settlement on newly purchased land. In parallel, the indigenous Banggloy community is located in the National Park as a community who were forcibly evicted from their village home to an allocated area where they constructed dwellings in the new village. Both cases were supported by housing loans and funding from the Thai Community Organizations Development Institute (CODI)1. The aim of this paper is to examine collaborative learning process based on low-income community design. Both cases employed participatory housing and planning design workshops. The urban community focused on designing the community masterplan. In contrast, the rural indigenous community concentrated on the housing design. In both projects, the occupants were encouraged to be the key actors and to decentralize the solution finding process. The outcome of workshops generated the activities and possible solutions that respect the need for the stakeholders and motivate them to continue to be active.

Published: October 2021

Real estate amenities can create both benefits and costs to local community, which economists call externalities. Quantification of externalities is challenging because of potential endogeneity problems that render simple statistical analyses inaccurate, necessitating the use of a more rigorous econometric technique. Exploiting store expansion activities of Whole Foods Market to infer the causal impact of the Whole Foods Effect using the difference-in-differences strategy, we find that property prices within 0.5 mile of a new Whole Foods Market store increase on average by 6.7% after a new store opens.
An Investigation of a Modified Formula of Daylight Glare and Limiting Daylight Glare Indices in the Thai Elderly
Authors: Tuaycharoen Nuanwan
Published: October 2021

Discomfort glare is perceived differently by the young and the elderly. However, the existing daylight glare formulae do not take the effects of age into account and the current limiting glare index was obtained from non-elderly subjects. To create lighting suitable for the Thai elderly, especially in terms of glare, two objectives were addressed. The first explored a modified formula of daylight glare for the Thai elderly, while the second investigated the limiting daylight glare index for the Thai elderly in particular areas of residential and public buildings. Both laboratory and field studies were undertaken. The former investigated a daylight glare formula modified for the effect of age of the Thai elderly. Experiments were carried out in a controlled chamber at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand. The latter explored the limiting daylight glare index for particular areas of residential and public buildings for the Thai elderly with studies conducted in the real environment.  A modified formula was proposed to predict daylight glare for the Thai elderly. Limiting daylight glare indices for particular areas of both residential and public buildings for the Thai elderly were also proposed, and the recorded values were found to be higher than the existing limiting daylight glare indices.
Ethnographic Approach for Research on Vernacular Architecture: Four Case Studies of Indigenous Communities in Indonesia
Authors: Hariyanto Agus D. , Sudradjat Iwan , Triyadi Sugeng
Published: October 2021

Many ethnic groups with unique cultures exist in Indonesia, but their vernacular architecture and living cultures need to be supported to ensure sustainability. One example of how a more anthropological approach to the design and planning of the built environment requires a better understanding is the study of the living culture of indigenous communities. Unsurprisingly, an ethnographic approach is critical to studying these communities' architecture and living culture in Indonesia. This study aims to outline the main principles of the ethnographic approach and review the implementation of these principles in previous studies on the vernacular architecture of indigenous communities in Indonesia. A comparative analysis of four case studies shows that each study has implemented the approach's main principles contextually. The results showed that the four case studies utilized observation and interviews to collect field data in slightly different terms. Although each case study's objectives, focus, and issues were different, the researchers managed to provide a cultural portrait that included the participants' views (emic) and the researcher's opinions (etic). The similarities between the four communities are religious or belief systems affecting the architecture and living culture, which are cultural aspects that significantly affect each case as part of the findings embodied in themes resulting from interpretation. These results can help to develop guidelines for designers and planners working in indigenous communities. Through ethnographic studies, architects and planners can understand indigenous communities' point of view (etic) to integrate their perspectives (emic) when working hand in hand with the community.
