Published: May 2020

Introduction. The results of a 25-year observational program to assess the effect of glycated hemoglobin variability on the development of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are presented.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) variability on the development of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and disease duration of 25 years.Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of the database of patients with DM1 was performed from the moment of the disease manifestation until the time of the last visit. Determination of HbA1c level is carried out using parameters certified in accordance with the National Standard for Glycohemoglobin Standardization (NGSP) or the International Federation of Clinical Chemists (IFCC). HbA1c variability was determinated by average current HbA1c, average of longitudinal HbA1c (from the manifestation to the last visit – 2019), median and maximum of difference in changes of HbA1c (median and max∆HbA1c). Statistical analysis was performed by IBM SPSS Statistics ver.22. A statistically significant difference is the value p < 0.05.Results. A total of 88 patients were enrolled in this study, they were divided in 3 groups depending on the registered microvascular complications (MVC): without MVC (n = 38), isolated MVC (retinopathy or nephropathy) (n = 25) and multiple MVC (retinopathy and nephropathy) (n = 25). Clinical characteristics [median (25; 75 percentile)]: age of manifestation of DM1 is 9 years (5; 12), age of patients at the time of the last visit is 33 years (29; 35), duration of DM1 is 24 years (20; 27), body mass index 24 kg/m2 (21; 25). Medication: basal-bolus insulin therapy (n = 82) or pump insulin therapy (n = 6). The average level of longitudinal HbA1c for the three groups was: 8% (7.6; 8.9), 8.5% (7.9; 8.9), 8.6% (7.8; 10), p = 0.2. Average of current (at the time of the last visit) HbA1c – 8.2% (7.2; 9.0), 8.1% (7.5; 9.0), 8.4% (7.3; 9.7), p = 0.4. Statistically significant differences were determined in the group without complications and in the group with multiple complications between the levels of maxΔ HbA1c 2.3% (1.8; 2.8) vs 4.7% (3.2; 5.6), p < 0.0001 and median Δ HbA1c 0.7% (0.6; 0.9) vs 1.4% (1; 1.7), р < 0.0001. There were no statistically significant relationships between the maximum and medianΔ HbA1c in the groups without complications and in the group with isolated complications.Conclusions: Longitudinal HbA1c and current HbA1c are not associated with the development of microvascular complications. The potential role in the development of microvascular complications was determined for the maximum and median Δ HbA1c.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities threaten surface water quality across the globe, especially in contexts where monitoring is non-existent or weak. Our understanding of the effect, order and magnitude of natural and human-induced environmental factors on surface water quality is limited. This study assessed the effect, predictive order and magnitude of natural and human-induced environmental variables on surface water quality in the Birim North District of Ghana. Approximately 540 samples were collected from 15 rivers and streams in 2018 and analysed using 31 indicators. Landsat satellite images (2018 and 2019) of the study area were analysed for land use land cover data. The data were fitted to ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model. Season (50%) most accounted for variability in the surface water quality whereas elevation and forest cover accounted for 28% and 21%, respectively. Surface water quality in the Akoase and Nyafoman/Noyem clusters were 30% and 10% respectively better in quality than the Adofokrom/Amenam cluster. The increasing order of magnitude of variables in predicting surface water quality was Buffer, Cultivated area, Built-up, Forest, Rivers and streams cluster, Elevation, and Season. Consequently, management interventions for surface water ecosystems should account for spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the factors that influence surface water quality.
Diurnal and nocturnal pH control in microalgae raceway reactors by combining classical and event-based control approaches
Authors: Rodríguez-Miranda E. , Guzmán J. L. , Berenguel M. , Acién F. G. , Visioli A. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The pH control in raceway reactors is crucial for an optimal performance of the system. Classical pH control is exclusively performed during the daytime period for cost saving reasons. This paper demonstrates that pH can be controlled 24 hours a day by using both a continuous-based and an event-based control approach, being able to improve the system's performance and reducing costs at the same time. Thus, experimental tests on a raceway reactor for several days are presented to show a comparison between traditional control algorithms during the daytime period versus an event-based control approach operating during both daytime and night-time periods. As a result, the combination of classical PI control for the daytime period and the event-based control for the night-time period is presented as a promising pH control architecture in raceway reactors.

Published: May 2020

Objectives:
The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of HIV and risk behaviors among the inmates’ visitors at the Great Tehran Prison in 2018.This population is more likely to be infected with HIV due to their relationship with inmates. However, they have not been prioritized to the other populations in comparison to inmates who are usually prioritized over others.

Methods:
Using a convenient sampling method, we recruited inmates’ visitorsat the Great Tehran Prison in 2018. An anonymous questionnaire collected information on the participant’s demographic characteristics, relationship with inmate, imprisonment history, drug-related risk behaviors, and HIV-related risk behaviors.Rapid HIV blood test detected HIV positive people. To examine the association between risk behaviors and HIV infection, we used a multivariate logistic regression model to calculate the adjusted Odds Ratio (OR)(adjusted Odds ratio of 23.140, 95% CI OR: 1.994–268.5).1

Results:
1131 visitors were asked to participate in the study; out of which 1120 consented (99%).Out of the 1120 participants, 55.2% were female, and the majority (72.4%) aged older than 35 years. Of those who had a sexual partner, 50% did not usea condom in the last 6 months. Overall, HIV prevalence was 0.4% in the inmate visitors, but it was significantly higher among those with a history of drug injection(p=0.003).

Conclusion:
Our findings indicated that overall the HIV prevalence is low among inmates’ visitors; Subgroups with a history of injection have high HIV prevalence which needs to be prioritized for HIV screening and treatment.

Authors: Martin Sébastien , Maeder Muriel Nirina , Gonçalves Ana Rita , Pedrazzini Baptiste , Perdrix Jean , Rochat Carine , Senn Nicolas , Mueller Yolanda 
Published: May 2020

Background
A better understanding of the influenza epidemiology among primary care workers could guide future recommendations to prevent transmission in primary care practices. Therefore, we designed a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using a work-based online influenza surveillance system among primary care workers. Such an approach is of particular relevance in the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, as its findings could apply to other infectious diseases with similar mechanisms of transmission.

Objective
This study aims to determine the feasibility of using a work-based online influenza surveillance system for primary care workers in Switzerland.

Methods
Physicians and staff of one walk-in clinic and two selected primary care practices were enrolled in this observational prospective pilot study during the 2017-2018 influenza season. They were invited to record symptoms of influenza-like illness in a weekly online survey sent by email and to self-collect a nasopharyngeal swab in case any symptoms were recorded. Samples were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction for influenza A, influenza B, and a panel of respiratory pathogens.

Results
Among 67 eligible staff members, 58% (n=39) consented to the study and 53% (n=36) provided data. From the time all participants were included, the weekly survey response rate stayed close to 100% until the end of the study. Of 79 symptomatic episodes (mean 2.2 episodes per participant), 10 episodes in 7 participants fitted the definition of an influenza-like illness case (attack rate: 7/36, 19%). One swab tested positive for influenza A H1N1 (attack rate: 3%, 95% CI 0%-18%). Swabbing was considered relatively easy.

Conclusions
A work-based online influenza surveillance system is feasible for use among primary care workers. This promising methodology could be broadly used in future studies to improve the understanding of influenza epidemiology and other diseases such as COVID-19. This could prove to be highly useful in primary care settings and guide future recommendations to prevent transmission. A larger study will also help to assess asymptomatic infections.

Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

The effectiveness of telemedicine has been widely investigated, also in a diabetologic setting. Available evidence support an important role of telemedicine in emergency times, like the present COVID-19 outbreak.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and patient satisfaction associated with virtual visit use in an outpatient diabetology and endocrinology unit in Pavia, Italy, during the present COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

We submitted a custom-made satisfaction questionnaire to each patient who underwent a televisit from the 1st of April to the 1st of May 2020. The questionnaire was proposed to 51 subjects. Furthermore, the patients were asked about their gender, age and visit reason.

RESULTS

All patients accepted to answer our questionnaire. Their mean age was of 38 years (minimum 20, maximum 79) and most of patients were women (39). The patients resulted affected by different disease: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes, hypothyroidism during pregnancy, Graves’ disease, Klinefelter Syndrome, Acromegaly, Cushing syndrome and hypopituitarism. The majority of them didn’t find any difficulty in using the informatic system, recognized a value of telemedicine in preventing COVID-19 contagion, and considered the tele-visit useful.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results show that patients were overall satisfied of this new approach. Telemedicine, also in a diabetologic and endocrinologic setting, can be of help in providing continuing healthcare, while keeping health providers and patients safe during COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Setyaningsih Yuliana , Rahardi R. Kunjana 
Published: May 2020

<p><em>This research is meant to describe reduplication of word classes in prosedic morphology in the perspective of semantico-pragmatics. This research data is in the form of reduolication of closed class words in the use of language in the mass media. The substantive data source of this research is in the form of text in which there are data in the form of reduplicative forms. The locational data source is the national mass media, i.e. Net TV both print and electronic, which can be reached by the research team around the time of research. After the data is classified and properly verified, the next step is the analysis and interpretation of the data. The analytical method applied is a distributional method with techniques for direct elements. Finally, the results of the analysis and interpretation of the data are presented in an informal method. The results showed that the most dominant reduplication occurred in closed word classes in Indonesian in the mass media was adverb reduplication. In this study, adjective reduplication was also quite significant, even though it was not the case with adverb reduplication and verb reduplication. Reduplication of nouns occupies the least significant portion.</em> <em>In terms of meanings, research in a semantico-pragmatic perspective rather than semantic linguistics is purely necessary to continue to be pursued so that new perspectives can be born in researching language.</em></p>

Authors: Rivera-Rivera Astrid , Alba-Maldonado Jose Manuel 
Published: May 2020

El análisis de la composición nutricional de forrajes y de los alimentos usados en nutrición animal es relevante en la toma de decisiones dentro del proceso productivo. La espectroscopia por infrarrojo cercano (NIRS) es una metodología que se basa en la quimiométrica, asociando la luz absorbida en una muestra de alimento con la composición química de la misma y con base en ello se desarrollan ecuaciones de predicción por cada componente químico del alimento. La metodología ha sido aplicada en el análisis de forrajes con resultados confiables para la predicción materia seca, proteína, carbohidratos estructurales, solubles, grasa y en leguminosas para la identificación de factores antinutricionales. Para el desarrollo de modelos de predicción por componente, se deben colectar muestras que abarquen todos los factores de variación de la composición química del alimento. Los modelos de predicción son desarrollados en tres fases: calibración, validación interna y validación externa en las cuales el modelo se evalúa de acuerdo a criterios estadísticos. El NIRS es una metodología que ha sido reconocida como confiable, de bajo costo, rápida y que durante el proceso no genera desechos químicos.

Substituent Effect on Corrosion Inhibition of Schiff Bases Derived from Isatin
Authors: Abdul Ghani Aliyin , Bahron Hadariah , Harun Mohamad Kamal , Kassim Karimah 
Published: May 2020

Two Schiff bases, 3-(4-hydroxyphenylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one (OPI) and 3-(4-Chloro-phenylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one (CPI) were successfully synthesized through condensation reactions giving yields of 82% and 63%, respectively. The compounds were characterized via physical and spectroscopic techniques, namely elemental analysis (C, H, N), 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and melting point. The corrosion inhibiting property of the Schiff bases on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was investigated by the weight loss (WL) measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LPR). The concentrations of the Schiff bases were varied from 1 x 10-3 M to 1 x 10-5 M. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from all the methods employed were in good agreement where the percentage of inhibition efficiencies increased with concentration. OPI showed better inhibition efficiency than CPI with 91% highest inhibition efficiency at 1 x 10-3 M additive concentration. This is likely to be caused by the resonance donating effect due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The adsorption behaviour obeyed Langmuir isotherm for monolayer formation.

Published: May 2020

Disasters are defined as extraordinary events which occur abruptly, bringing great damage or harm, loss, and destruction to people and the environment. Nurses may have a more conflict and difficulties in disaster decision making where the victim condition need to be treated in disaster place. Nurses play a key role in hospital as a leaders and managers in the disaster operation and command center but limited data shows that the nurses experience in disaster management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the perception of knowledge and skills on the preparedness in disaster management among nurses in community clinics. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 27 government clinics in one of the states in Malaysia with a convenient sampling, 260 participants are selected. The questionnaire consisted of three sections; socio-demographic characteristics, the perception of knowledge and skill towards preparedness for disaster management rated on a Likert scale. In the effort to collect the intended data, a self-report questionnaire adapted and modified from Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) was implemented (Alrazeeni, 2015). This study revealed that Nurses in these community clinics were moderate in terms of the perception of knowledge (Mean= 3.65, SD= 0.61) and the perceived skills (Mean= 3.68, SD= 0.56) on the preparedness in Disaster Management. Nevertheless, they were interested in disaster preparedness management training (n=227, 87.3%) and were confident as first responders of disaster (Mean= 3.88, SD= 0.61). However, they were not much involved in disaster preparedness plan (Mean= 3.23, SD= 0.90) and claimed that there was a lack of leadership figure in disaster situation (Mean= 3.06, SD= 0.92). In conclusion, nurses in community clinics need to gain knowledge and skills by involving themselves in disaster planning and drills as the preparation for disaster management for them to be the first responders in helping and managing people in this situation.
