Published: November 2019

Menyusui merupakan aspek yang sangat penting untuk kelangsungan hidup bayi guna mencapai tumbuh kembang bayi/anak yang optimal sekaligus mempertahankan kesehatan ibu setelah bersalin. Bayi yang mendapatkan ASI Ekslusif selama enam bulan secara signifikan menurunkan resiko terjadinya diare, dan menurunkan resiko ISPA, dibandingkan bayi yang tidak mendapat ASI Ekslusif.
Puskesmas Kedung Rejo mempunyai cakupan ASI yang masih rendah. Walaupun secara geografis Puskesmas ini berada di wilayah kecamatan Muncar. Dimana, Muncar merupakan penghasil ikan laut terbesar no dua di Indonesia. Melihat kondisi tersebut seharusnya cakupan ASI Eklsusif memenuhi target, karena sumber makanan yang baik untuk ibu menyusui sudah tersedia. Namun, pada kenyataannya cakupan ASI Ekslusif di wilayah Puskesmas tersebut masih rendah. Untuk membantu meningkatkan pencapaian target ASI Ekslusif serta mengurangi penurunan angka kematian bayi, balita dan kematian ibu, Pemerintah Kabupaten Banyuwangi mencanangkan Kelompok Pendukung ASI, dalam membatu pencanangan tersebut kami berupaya melakukan motivasi kepada masyarakat untuk memberikan ASI Ekslusif. Salah satu permasalahan yang dialami di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kedungrejo Muncar guna meningkatkan cakupan ASI adalah belum optimalnya pelaksanaan motivator ASI yang ada di masyarakat karena Motivator yang tersedia masih 1 orang untuk setiap 1 desa wilayah kerja puskesmas.
Hasil dari pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah telah dilakukannya pelatihan motivator ASI di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kedungrejo Muncar yang diikuti oleh 30 orang sukarelawan. Dan telah dilakukan beberapa kali pertemuan kelompok pendukung ASI di 2 desa yang masuk dalam wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kedungrejo Muncar Banyuwangi. Dimana setiap motivator ASI dibekali dengan buku panduan motivator ASI dan laporan kegiatan motivator ASI yang berisi berita acara kegiatan, daftar hadir dan dokumentasi kegiatan

<p>Soybean demand in the market today has not been matched by domestic production. Many of the problems that cause insufficient production of soy, one of which is the drought affecting soybean growth and yield. Efforts should be made to overcome the drought is to provide soybean varieties tolerant to drought stress. This study aims to assess the effect of the difference in intensity of drought stress on the growth of some soybean varieties. This study uses a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial with two factors, the first factor and the second factor soybean varieties drought stress levels. Results showed significant of lowering the value of RGR and NAR. The higher the level of drought stress will decrease soybean growth. Tolerance limits for each variety is at 80% moisture content.</p>

Published: November 2019

Case:
A patient sustained flail chest and diaphragmatic rupture with perforation of the stomach. She underwent gastrorrhaphy with chest lavage. She developed empyema and underwent decortication. Intraoperative cultures grew bacteria and yeast. She failed extubation because of pain despite maximal medical therapy. She underwent surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF). Intraoperative cultures remained positive. She was extubated 9 days after SSRF. She was ultimately discharged to home with a total of 2 months of antibiotics and no need for plate removal.

Conclusion:
The presence of infection should not be considered a contraindication to SSRF in patients who are mechanical ventilation dependent due to flail chest.

Published: November 2019

This study explores Ghanaian history teachers’ experiences of the "middle ground of curriculum; a crucial stage of curriculum negotiation and a process, according to Harris (2002), that includes what “teachers individually and collectively perceived and enacted. . . prior to classroom implementation” The study employed the concurrent parallel design (Quan-qual). The researchers collected quantitative data from sixty history teachers in Cape Coast Metropolis through the census method. Six teachers were randomly selected from the sixty to participate in the qualitative phase of the study. The quantitative data was analysed descriptively (means and standard deviations) while the qualitative data was analysed based on emerging themes. The findings revealed that the history departments through departmental relation, subject conceptualisation and governance influence the ways in which teachers negotiate the formal curriculum prior to teaching. More specifically, the study established the interaction of these variables that shape history teachers’ decision-making on the middle ground of the curriculum. The study, therefore, showed that the internalisation of curriculum change is a dynamic process that is evidenced at all levels of curriculum change – the high ground, middle ground of the curriculum, and lower ground
Employee Voice Contexts and Teacher Retention in Remote Secondary Schools in Tanzania
Authors: Boniface Raymond Mwemezi 
Published: November 2019

Retaining teachers in their work stations is influenced by many factors which are contextually explained. Teachers’ retention practices in Tanzania and most Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries have been ineffective partly because of being monetary based. While ‘voicing’ is regarded as a more feasible strategy for retaining teachers in these countries, conditions which favour voicing over exiting a remote school particularly in the Tanzanian context have been not systematically mapped out. This article presents and discusses seven conditions, to include: empowering, listening and cooperative leadership; habitability; friendliness outside school environment; investment potentialities; a supportive and peaceful school working environment; life as a “challenge” mindset; as well as patriotism and profession commitment, which were found to favour voicing over exiting a remote school. The findings imply that there is a need to empower teachers to influence change and reforms that matter to them, increasing teachers sense of investment in schools they are posted and in the profession (social and financial capital), checking ‘who goes into the teaching profession and with what level of struggle’; improving school-level relationships including justice practices from leaders and management, positive co-workers exchanges; training teachers to become patriotic to the nation and be committed to the teaching profession; and the need to improve cooperation and understanding between schools and their surrounding communities.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT
Previous studies on dilute, multi-pulsed, subaqueous saline flows have demonstrated that pulses will inevitably advect forwards to merge with the flow front. On the assumption that pulse merging occurs in natural-scale turbidity currents, it was suggested that multi-pulsed turbidites that display vertical cycles of coarsening and fining would transition laterally to single-pulsed, normally graded turbidites beyond the point of pulse merging. In this study, experiments of dilute, single- and multi-pulsed sediment-bearing flows (turbidity currents) are conducted to test the linkages between downstream flow evolution and associated deposit structure. Experimental data confirm that pulse merging occurs in laboratory-scale turbidity currents. However, only a weak correspondence was seen between longitudinal variations in the internal flow dynamics and the vertical structure of deposits; multi-pulsed deposits were documented, but transitioned to single-pulsed deposits before the pulse merging point. This early transition is attributed to rapid sedimentation-related depletion of the coarser-grained suspended fraction in the laboratory setting, whose absence may have prevented the distal development of multi-pulsed deposits; this factor complicates estimation of the transition point in natural-scale turbidite systems.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have indicated that accompanying socially undeserved cancer patients through Patient Navigator (PN) or PN-derived procedures improves therapy management and reassurance. At the Cancer Institute of Toulouse-Oncopole (France), we have implemented AMA (Ambulatory Medical Assistance), a PN-based procedure adapted for malignant lymphoma (ML) patients under therapy. We found that AMA improve adherence to chemotherapy and safety. In low-middle income countries (LMIC), refusal and abandonment were documented as major adverse factors for cancer therapy. We reasoned that AMA could improve clinical management of ML patients in LMIC. Methods This study was set up in the Abidjan University Medical Center (Ivory Coast) in collaboration with Toulouse. Hundred African patients were randomly assigned to either AMA or control group. Main criteria of judgment were refusal and abandonment of CHOP or ABVD chemotherapy. Results We found that AMA was feasible and has significant impact on refusal and abandonment. However, only one third of patients completed their therapy in both groups. No differences were noted in terms of complete response rate (CRR) (16% based on intent-to-treat) and median overall survival (OS) (6 months). The main reason for refusal and abandonment was limitation of financial resources. Conclusion Altogether, this study showed that PN may reduce refusal and abandonment of treatment. However, due to insufficient health care coverage, its ultimate impact on OS remains limited.

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer is the most common cancer in Hong Kong. Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is a major first-line conventional therapy for advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer. However, oxaliplatin causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Acupuncture has long been used to alleviate limb numbness in Chinese Medicine Practice. This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for alleviating CIPN in colorectal cancer patients in Hong Kong.
Methods/Design: This is a single-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled efficacy trial. Eighty-four eligible patients, who are Hong Kong Chinese aged ≥18 years diagnosed with colorectal cancer and undergoing oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to the electro-acupuncture group and the sham-controlled group. During a 12-week treatment period, patients in the electro-acupuncture group will undergo electro-acupuncture once a week from the first cycle of chemotherapy, while patients in the control group will receive sham-acupuncture, and the patients in both groups will be followed up for twelve weeks. The primary outcome measure is the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOC-Ntx) questionnaire. The secondary outcome measures include numerical rating scale (NRS) for numbness/pain, vibration and light touch sense test, quality of life questionnaire-C30 of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30) and Constitution of Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ).
Discussion: The study will compare electro-acupuncture with sham acupuncture to explore the feasibility for electro-acupuncture in improving symptoms caused by chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
Objective: Evidence on treatment outcomes and their trend analysis through a register based retrospective study have significant contributions in the improvement of a national tuberculosis program. This study was aimed at determining tuberculosis treatment outcomes and their trend analysis.
Results: A total of 3445 patient records were included. More than half, (58%) were males and the mean age was 33.88 ± 16.91 years (range: 0-90). From the total TB patients, 18.8% were HIV co infected. The treatment outcome of TB patients were 371 (10.8%) cured, 2234 (64.8) treatment completed, died 119 (3.5%) died, 9 (0.3%) failed, 178 (5.1%) defaulted and 534 (15.5%) were transferred out. The overall treatment success rate was 89.5%. When assessed on yearly basis, treatment success rate was 87% in year 2009-2010 to 92.8% in 2013-2014 with 6.67% change in the outcome indicator over the five years period. Among pulmonary TB, pulmonary negative TB and extra pulmonary TB, the rate of successful treatment outcome was 83.1% to 89%, 85.1% to 89.4%, and 87.4% to 92%, respectively in the year 2009-2010 to 2013-2014. The percentage of the overall successful treatment outcomes were significantly associated with the year of treatment (p=0.014).

Authors: Dong Jie , Ding Xiangzhen , Wang Sheng 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background: The green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been regarded as a valuable tool and widely applied as a biomarker in medical applications and diagnostics. A cost-efficient upstream expression system and an inexpensive downstream purification process will meet the demands of the GFP protein with high-purity. Results : The recombinant GFP was transiently expressed in an active form in agoinoculated N. benthamiana leaves by using Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA-based overexpression vector (TRBO). The yield of recombinant GFP was up to ~60% of total soluble proteins (TSP). Purification of recombinant GFP from the clarified lysate of N. benthaniana leaves was achieved by using an alcohol/salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and following with a further hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). The purification process takes only ~4 h and can recover 34.1 % of the protein. The purity of purified GFP was more than 95% and there were no changes in its spectroscopic characteristics. Conclusions: The strategy described here combines the advantages of both the economy and efficiency of plant virus-based expression platform and the simplicity and rapidity of environmentally friendly alcohol/salt ATPS. It has a considerable potential for the development of a cost-efficient alternative for production of recombinant GFP.

Abstract
Background
Cellulosic biomass degradation still needs to be paid more attentions as bioenergy is the most likely to replace fossil energy in the future, and more evaluable cellulolytic bacteria isolation will lay a foundation for this filed. Qinling Mountains have unique biodiversity, acting as promising source of cellulose-degrading bacteria exhibiting noteworthy properties. Therefore, the aim of this work was to find potential cellulolytic bacteria and verify the possibility of the cloning of cellulases from the selected powerful bacteria.
Results
In present study, 55 potential cellulolytic bacteria were screened and identified from the rotten wood of Qinling Mountains. Based on the investigation of cellulase activities and degradation effect on different cellulose substrates, Bacillus methylotrophicus 1EJ7, Bacillus subtilis 1AJ3 and Bacillus subtilis 3BJ4 were further applied to hydrolyze wheat straw, corn stover and switchgrass, and the results suggested that B. methylotrophicus 1EJ7 was the most preponderant bacterium, and which also indicated that Bacillus was the main cellulolytic bacteria in rotten wood. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis of micromorphology and crystallinity of wheat straw also verified the significant hydrolyzation. With ascertaining the target sequence of cellulase β-glucosidase (243 aa) and endoglucanase (499 aa) were successfully heterogeneously cloned and expressed from B. methylotrophicus 1EJ7, and which performed a good effect on cellulose degradation with enzyme activity of 1670.15±18.94 U/mL and 0.130±0.002 U/mL, respectively. In addition, based on analysis of amino acid sequence, it found that β-glucosidase were belonged to GH16 family, and endoglucanase was composed of GH5 family catalytic domain and a carbohydrate-binding module of CBM3 family.
Conclusions
Based on the screening, identification and cellulose degradation effect evaluation of cellulolytic bacteria from rotten wood of Qinling Mountains, it found that Bacillus were the predominant species among the isolated strains, and Bacillus methylotrophicus 1EJ7 performed best on cellulose degradation. Meanwhile, the β-glucosidase and endoglucanase were successfully cloned and expressed from Bacillus methylotrophicus for the first time, which provided new materials of both strain and the recombinant enzymes for the study of cellulose degradation and its application in industry.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Objective

People living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of subclinical echocardiographic abnormalities. However, there is scant evidence of the echocardiographic changes that occur shortly after seroconversion. In this study we describe the echocardiographic evaluations of asymptomatic US Air Force members who were diagnosed with HIV infection and evaluated at the San Antonio Military Medical Center between September 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016.

Results

Patients (n=50) were predominantly male (96%), mostly African American (60%), with a mean age of 28 years. At HIV diagnosis, the mean viral load was 112,585 copies/mL and CD4 count was 551 cells/uL. All were found to have normal left ventricular systolic ejection fraction (EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) however evidence of right ventricular dilatation and left ventricular remodeling was observed in 7 (14%) and 13 (26%) patients, respectively. Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences in echocardiographic findings by HIV disease severity or CVD risk factors (p >0.05 for all).This study suggests that untreated HIV may have a low impact on the development of echocardiographic abnormalities shortly after seroconversion. Longitudinal studies are warranted to determine the optimal CVD risk assessment strategies for PLHIV.
Clinical and ultrasonographic evaluation of shoulder in elite waterpolo players a cross-sectional study
Authors: Ruberti Andrea , Ronga Mario , Callegari Leonardo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff structural changes are common in overhead throwing athletes, such as baseball, javelin, swimming, volleyball, by increasing the risk of shoulder pain and injury. The structural alterations in elite waterpolo players are not well known. In elite waterpolo athletes there are structural alterations of rotato cuff tendons due to overuse of the dominant shoulder compared to the non-dominant, like in oth er overhead disciplines, identifiable by ultrasound (US).
Methods: Asymptomatic elite men waterpolo players were selected. All athletes were evaluated with standardized scales of shoulder pain and function (Oxford Shoulder Score, Constant Shoulder Score) and provided data of training, injury and shoulder pain history. Each athlete underwent clinical evaluation of shoulders followed by US of rotator cuff, biceps and bursas.
Results : 23 athletes met the inclusion criteria, mean age 24.2±3.3. 14 athletes (60.9%) presented higher degeneration grade at the dominant supraspinatus compared to the contralateral, always in the same area in outfield pla yers: anterior, lateral, pre-insertional. In 22/23 (95.6%) the biceps tendon was damaged: 20/23 athletes (87%) bilaterally, 2/23 (8.7%) at the only dominant limb. The site was always at the bicipital groove in its insertion on the humerus. Power Doppler (PD) evidenced neovascularization in only 5/23 (21.7%) players at supraspinatus: 4 bilaterally, 1 only at the non-dominant. No statistical correlation was found between tendon degeneration and age, career years.
Conclusion: Outfield waterpolo players have peculiar changes in supraspinatus at preinsertional level, as seen in other overhead throwing athletes. We found changes also in biceps, bilaterally, like in shoulders of elite swimmers. We suppose that these changes are predictive of shoulder pain and injury.
