Authors: Koroma Mohamed , Sawaneh Ibrahim Abdulai 
Published: October 2020

This paper presents a detailed survey of global energy delivery and smart grid approaches. Particularly in the sense that shows the impacts on the production of energy resources globally. How can energy losses be reduced, primarily by implementing smart grid approaches? Power transfers and reduction of energy sources can be made by smart grids with information technology (I.T) such as sensors digital meters and communication networks. Energy from photovoltaic and wind power are some of the energy delivery systems that have gained attention since they are cheap and environment-friendly and do not emit greenhouse gas. Presently available grid is insufficient to serve future systems. For this reason, an intelligent grid system is required to support future needs for society. This paper expounds on the impacts of the existing power delivery system and suggests a smart grid for global energy delivery on a better management system.

Background: The Global Medical Student Partnership (GMSP) is, a medical student-led international initiative to promote accessible Global Health learning. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the GMSP program in meeting its learning objectives.
Methods: Canadian and international medical student pairs met online monthly (January-May 2018) to discuss global health-related medical cases. Students then reviewed cases with local GMSP peers and faculty experts. A mixed-methods study was performed to evaluate whether the objectives of the program had been achieved. 26 of 32 (81.3%) students completed a questionnaire, and 13 (40.6%) also participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyze students’ perspectives on skill development through GMSP.
Results: GMSP students agreed or strongly agreed that international collaboration and communication skills were more important to them following program participation (92.3%, 92.3% respectively). Many expressed that after GMSP, they knew more about their healthcare system, practices abroad and how to solve complex health issues (92.3%, 84.6%, 61.5% respectively). Qualitative data showed GMSP improved students’ communication and presentation skills, provided a foundation for international relationships, fostered appraisal of diverse health systems, and furthered students’ understanding of health advocacy.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that GMSP met its original objectives by providing students with opportunities to engage in international collaborations and to further develop their skills in advocacy, communication, and health-systems research. This program may be an important addition to medical education as it makes use of technology and peer-to-peer exchange to enable global health learning.

Appendicitis is one of the causes of mortality rates 0,2 – 0,8% in the world. In Indonesia itself, appendicitis occupies the fourth most patients who undergo hospitalization. The worse this type of appendicitis, the longer the patient should undergo hospitalization in the hospital's surgical treatment room. The duration of the patient post-surgery is varied depending on the type of appendicitis suffered. This study aims to describe the difference in the length of stay in post appendectomy patients between acute appendicitis and perforated appendicitis. The research is a comparative analytical research retrospective with a cross-sectional approach. In this study, the samples were recorded from medical records of appendicitis patients in 2016-2019, totaling 60 respondents of acute appendicitis and 60 respondents of perforation appendicitis. The sampling techniques in this study used a total sampling technique. Analysis of data is using univariate analysis and Independent bivariate tests. It is known that the average length of inpatient hospitalization is acute for 9 days. The shortest hospitalization is for 2 days, and the longest is 23 days. The respondent with an appendicitis perforation with an average length of stay is 34 days, the shortest time hospitalization is 4 days, and the longest is 90 days. The Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference (p = 0,000 / p<0,005) of hospitalization length in acute appendicitis and perforation appendicitis of an appendectomy patient.

Advances in the treatment and use of chemotherapy have been shown to improve the life expectancy rate for colorectal cancer patients. Studies conducted in China and Hongkong have shown that CapeOX combination chemotherapy regimens are more commonly used than in Europe and the United States. However, the use of chemotherapy drugs containing oxaliplatin and capecitabine can cause side effects such as hematological toxicity, which is one of them is anemia. This study aims to determine the difference in the form of a decrease in the average levels of hemoglobin and the degree of hemoglobin toxicity in colorectal cancer patients undergoing CapeOX chemotherapy. The Design in this study is a historical (retrospective) cohort. This study sample was 70 colorectal cancer patients who received CapeOX chemotherapy for 6 cycles at RSUD Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek in 2018-2019. Consecutive sampling is used in the sampling method. The statistical analysis is using Paired T-Test. There is a significant difference in the average hemoglobin level of colorectal cancer patients (p-value = <0.005), which receive CapeOX chemotherapy for 6 cycles. Besides, there is an increase in the number of patients who get hemoglobin toxicity and the chemotherapy cycle. In the first cycle, 59 patients (84.3%) got hemoglobin toxicity after chemotherapy, and the number continued to increase to 69 patients (98.6%) in the sixth cycle. There was a decrease in hemoglobin levels in colorectal cancer patients who received CapeOX chemotherapy with p-value = <0.05 and increased patients who got hemoglobin toxicity.

Introduction: Nitazoxanide has shown efficacy in vitro against coronavirus infections (MERS, SARS, SARS-CoV-2). The aim of this report is to describe the results of treating COVID-19 positive patients with nitazoxanide in three clinical settings: pregnancy/puerperium, hospitalized patients in an Internal Medicine Service and in an ambulatory setting.
Methodology: This was a prospective follow-up and report of COVID-19 cases in three different situations, pregnant women, hospitalized patients receiving medical attention in an Internal Medicine Service and ambulatory patients residing in Toluca City, and Mexico City.
Results: The experience with a first group of 20 women, pregnant (17) or in immediate puerperium (3) was successful in 18 cases with two unfortunate deaths. The five cases treated in an Internal Medicine service showed a positive outcome with two patients weaned from mechanical ventilation. Of the remaining 16 patients treated in an ambulatory setting, all got cured. Nitazoxanide seems to be useful against SARS-CoV-2, not only in an early intervention but also in critical condition as well as in pregnancy without undesired effects for the babies. As an adjunctive therapy budesonide was used that seems to contribute to the clinical improvement.
Conclusions: Nitazoxanide could be useful against COVID-19 as a safe and available regimen to be tested in a massive way immediately.

Published: October 2020

This paper examined the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SQ) and organizational commitment (OC) among employees. Consistent with Multiple Intelligence Theory (MI), 510 teachers were drawn through a list-based simple random sampling technique in the Peninsular areas of Malaysia. Hypothesis was tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) and the structural model was assessed through renowned GOF indices. Findings revealed that SQ relates significantly positive with OC, such that spiritually intelligent employees are more obliged towards workplace activities. GOF indices showed χ² / df ratio (997.341 / 547) = 1.823, RMSEA (0.057), and CFI (0.903), providing empirical support for the hypothesized structural model. The study outcomes are promising. Theoretically, it contributes to organizational behavior research regarding the influence of spiritual resources and virtues on employees’ behavior. The study has implications for HR policies such as compensation and motivation. Spiritual intelligence aids employees to see beyond the material aspects of the workplace. Hence, they are better inspired when HR managers augment HR policies with SQ components. Practically, employees are more productive, creative, and resourceful when performing organizational activities. Therefore, the study provides indication on how employees can consider work-related activities as a quest worth achieving. Within this process, lies the opportunity to experience spiritual consciousness which stimulates their personal growth and development. The study is limited in a number of ways. It is cross-sectional, purely quantitative, and has its social-demographic factors controlled.

Varios experimentos se realizaron para estudiar la utilidad del mosto, residuo de la destilación del ron, para la alimentación del pez cíclido Tilapia aurea (Steindachner), en comparación con un alimento comercial para peces, uno comercial para pollos y un abono inorgánico. El estudio se llevó a cabo en la subestación experimental agrícola de Lajas y en la isla de Magueyes donde está ubicado el laboratorio del Departamento de Ciencias Marinas. El estudio se inició el 8 de febrero y terminó el 3 de julio de 1974. Treinta piscinas plásticas, cada una de 9.3 m3 se usaron para la cría de los peces. Los peces sometidos a un régimen de mosto en forma bruta aumentaron de peso moderadamente, pero a la vez sufrieron de descoloración externa y de obscurecimiento del cuerpo, como resultado de la filtración directa del mosto disuelto en el agua de las piscinas. La reproducción de los peces expuestos al mosto pudo haberse afectado. El rendimiento más alto se obtuvo con los peces que recibieron alimento para peces. Los siguieron en orden descendente los que recibieron alimento para pollos, el abono inorgánico, un extracto de levadura proveniente del mosto, las otras preparaciones a base de mosto y el control. Diversos índices de calidad del agua, tales como pH, temperatura, oxígeno disuelto y turbidez se tomaron . Los más afectados fueron el oxígeno disuelto y la turbidez. Los niveles de oxígeno disuelto bajaron drásticamente tan pronto se añadieron las soluciones con mosto, pero recuperaron luego de varios días. El mosto causó gran turbidez, pero en las piscinas que no se trataron con mosto, el agua se tornó verdosa acusando un crecimiento moderado de fitoplancton. El pH permaneció dentro de los límites deseables (6.5 a 9.0) para la piscicultura, cuando éste se determinó al amanecer.

VIOLÊNCIA E SEXUALIDADE EM ROMANCES DE AUTORIA FEMININA
Authors: Figueiredo Eurídice 
Published: October 2020

Este artigo visa mostrar como as escritoras brasileiras, principalmente as mais jovens, estão abordando temas tabus como o incesto, o estupro, o erotismo, a lesbianidade, o aborto, a bulimia, a automutilação, a amamentação, a menstruação, a TPM, ou seja, assuntos em que o corpo está em destaque. Nesse sentido existe um avanço em relação à atitude de Virginia Woolf, que afirmava que tinha dificuldade em tratar do corpo. Embora as mulheres se insiram na mesma tradição literária dos homens, não é possível ignorar que o fato de ser mulher tem algum impacto no tipo de literatura produzida. As autoras não representam um real, elas fabulam, se reinventam e, sobretudo, transgridem a ordem vigente porque escrever já é uma forma de transgressão.

NA PONTA DO ALFINETE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE FRONTEIRA DE CORNÉLIO PENNA
Authors: Dos Santos Josalba Fabiana 
Published: October 2020

Comparamos três momentos paradigmáticos em Fronteira (1935), primeiro romance de Cornélio Penna (1896-1958). Maria Santa, a protagonista, e o narrador observam uma caixa de tampo de vidro contendo pequenos animais espetados por alfinetes. Esta caixa é uma metáfora da violência realizada pelos romeiros, que espetam Maria Santa também com alfinetes, e pelo narrador, que a estupra. Como os pequenos animais e Maria Santa são associados ao estranho e ao monstro, utilizamo-nos de Freud (1976), Nazário (1998), Cohen (2000) e Agamben (2010) para analisar o processo de desumanização sofrido pela protagonista e que facilitará a violência de que será vítima.
