Abstract
Electroactive hydrogels have received increasing attention due to the possibility of being used in biomimetics, such as for soft robotics and artificial muscles. However, the applications are hindered by the poor mechanical properties and slow response time. To address these issues, in this study, supramolecular ionic polymer–carbon nanotube (SIPC) composite hydrogels were fabricated via in situ free radical polymerization. The polymer matrix consisted of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), styrene sulfonic sodium (SSNa), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-grafted acrylamide, and ferrocene (Fc)-grafted acrylamide, with the incorporation of SSNa serving as the ionic source. On applying an external voltage, the ions accumulate on one side of the matrix, leading to localized swelling and bending of the structure. Therefore, a controllable and reversible actuation can be achieved by changing the applied voltage. The tensile strength of the SIPC was improved by over 300%, from 12 to 49 kPa, due to the reinforcement effect of the CNTs and the supramolecular host–guest interactions between the β-CD and Fc moieties. The inclusion of CNTs not only improved the tensile properties but also enhanced the ion mobility, which lead to a faster electromechanical response. The presented electro-responsive composite hydrogel shows a high potential for the development of robotic devices and soft smart components for sensing and actuating applications.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Emerging nanomaterials provide an invaluable opportunity for the development of cementitious materials. Many scholars have explored the influence of graphene (GP) and graphene oxide (GO) on the performance of the cementitious materials. This article reviews the previous research on the effect of GP and GO on the properties of cementitious materials. Detailed review of the mechanical properties and durability of cementitious materials containing GP or GO nanofilms is presented, and the mechanism is discussed. The mechanical properties of GO-cementitious materials are significantly enhanced. The optimal improvement of GO-modified compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths is 77.3%, 78.3%, and 78.6%, respectively. The durability of GO- and GP-modified cementitious material is compared with the control group. The incorporation of GP or GO significantly improves the sulfate attack resistance, and the transport properties can be decreased, while the frost resistance of GO- and GP-modified cementitious materials needs further research. This literature review shows that the microstructure of GO- and GP-modified cementitious material is improved in three aspects: accelerating the cement hydration, refining the pore structure, and hindering the crack propagation.
Afghanistan: Droht durch die „Friedensvereinbarung“ eine Vietnamisierung des Konflikts?
Authors: Cordesman Anthony H. 
Published: June 2020

Zusammenfassung
Die Vereinigten Staaten haben sich bemüht, eine Art „Friedensvereinbarung“ für Afghanistan mit den Taliban zu erreichen, die jedoch möglicherweise keinen Bestand haben wird. Es fehlt an einer klaren Strategie für Afghanistan, die über eine bloße Konfliktbeendigung, einen Waffenstillstand oder die Ausschaltung terroristischer Bedrohungen hinausginge. Ein Friedensplan für Afghanistan, der keine dauerhaften Regelungen in Bezug auf Regierungsbeteiligung, die Sicherheitskräfte und die Wirtschaft umfasst, wird zu einer Situation führen, die zahlreiche Gemeinsamkeiten mit jener Zeit aufweist, als die Vereinigten Staaten durch den Abzug ihrer Truppen aus Vietnam einen Frieden herbeiführen wollten – was letztlich zum Fall Saigons führte.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common, debilitating condition that leads to early-onset osteoarthritis and reduced quality of human life. ACL rupture is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. Characterizing the genetic basis of ACL rupture would provide the ability to identify individuals that have high genetic risk and allow the opportunity for preventative management. Spontaneous ACL rupture is also common in dogs and shows a similar clinical presentation and progression. Thus, the dog has emerged as an excellent genomic model for human ACL rupture. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the dog have identified a number of candidate genetic variants, but research in genomic prediction has been limited. In this analysis, we explore several Bayesian and machine learning models for genomic prediction of ACL rupture in the Labrador Retriever dog. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of predicting ACL rupture from SNPs in the Labrador Retriever model with and without consideration of non-genetic risk factors. Genomic prediction including non-genetic risk factors approached clinical relevance using multiple linear Bayesian and non-linear models. This analysis represents the first steps toward development of a predictive algorithm for ACL rupture in the Labrador Retriever model. Future work may extend this algorithm to other high-risk breeds of dog. The ability to accurately predict individual dogs at high risk for ACL rupture would identify candidates for clinical trials that would benefit both veterinary and human medicine.
Winds of Change: The Later Wittgenstein’s Conception of the Dynamics of Change
Authors: Eriksen Cecilie 
Published: June 2020

The theme of change is one of the most prominent traits of Wittgenstein’s later work, and his writings have inspired many contemporary thinkers’ discussions of changes in e.g. concepts, ‘aspect-seeing’, practices, worldviews, and forms of life. However, Wittgenstein’s conception of the dynamics of change has not been investigated in its own right.
The aim of this paper is to investigate which understanding of the dynamics of changes can be found in the later Wittgenstein’s work. I will argue that what emerges is a rich and complex picture that has the potential to aid our thinking in politics and elsewhere when developing strategies for creating changes. It can do so both as source of inspiration and by countering tempting, yet ultimately problematic ways of conceptualizing change like the hope for transforming harmful traditions and social practices with the help of a general explanatory theory of the fundamental dynamics of changes.

Published: June 2020

AbstractBackground/Aims:To
investigate the effectiveness and reliability of anti-TNF treatment in
Ankylosing Spondylitis-Rheumatoid arthritis patients.Methods:180 patients (110
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients diagnosed
according to 1987 American Rheumatism Association criteria, 70 Ankylosing Spondylitis
(AS) patients diagnosed according to Modified
NewYork Criteria) admitted to the hospital for
arthritis and related compliants who were followed up and treated with anti-TNF
treatment in the department of Rheumatology&amp;Immunology from 2009 to 2011. We
enrolled 100 patients with RA (76 women, 24 men) and
60 patients with AS (16 women, 44 men) to the study, excluded 20 patients
according to the exclusion criterias. The response of the patients to the
anti-TNF treatment was evaluated by comparing the clinical parameters BASDAI,
DAS28 and VAS score;
and laboratory measurements of erytrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive
protein levels
of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing
spondylitis before
and six months after the treatment.Results:After
the six months of anti Tnf treatment,
BASDAI score for AS, DAS28 score for RA, VAS, ESR and CRP levels for both
diseases showed a statistically significant improvement, moreover it was
determined that demographic variations did not affect these values.Conclusions: Our
results demonstrated that anti-TNF treatment is safe and effective treatment
modality in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis and Rheumatoid arthritis.
These findings are short-term results of a study, and therefore future studies
with larger patient series and long term follow-up are needed to look at
outcomes of long term therapies.

Published: June 2020

Introducción: Las personas con diabetes tipo 2, por lo general no requieren dosis diarias de insulina para sobrevivir. Muchas personas pueden controlar su enfermedad a través de una dieta sana y una mayor actividad física, y medicación oral, si a pesar de ello, persisten sin control glicémico, deberán usar insulina exógena.
Métodos: Estudio cuasi-experimental desarrollado en un grupo control y grupo de intervención de los pacientes que comenzaron tratamiento con insulina en el plan de alta. Se usaron dos escalas de medición, una para la Agencia de autocuidado y la escala de seguridad en la terapia de insulina validada en Colombia.
Resultados: A nivel intergrupal, la intervención educativa convencional, utilizada en el grupo de control, no tuvo un efecto sobre la administración segura de insulina (p = 0,07). Por el contrario, la estrategia experimental aumentó el puntaje de seguridad en la administración de insulina; diferencia de medidas de 8 puntos, p = 0,0001).
Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos en la presente investigación son coherentes con otras investigaciones precedentes, cabe denotar que la cantidad de pacientes osciló entre los 20 y los 32 individuos, aplicaron diferentes intervenciones educativas, así como también se midieron aspectos de conocimientos, antropométricos y clínicos. En consecuencia, la estrategia educativa “iniciando con la insulina” demostró ser efectiva al observarse el aumento de la seguridad en la administración de este medicamento en los pacientes del grupo de estudio..

Published: June 2020

Background: West Sumatra is a target area for malaria elimination in 2020; the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) in Padang City increased from 0.12 per 1000 inhabitants to 0.13 per 1000 inhabitants between 2015 and 2016. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effect of factors contributing to malaria events based on the environmental and behavioral conditions of people in Padang City. Method: This is a quantitative study using a case-control approach. The research was conducted in Padang from August 2017 until January 2018. The case-control study was conducted on a sample of 62 people, consisting of 31 cases and 31 controls. Cases were identified through random sampling and controls were selected by purposive sampling. Data collection was via observation and questionnaires and both univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted. Results: Descriptively, malaria patients were more likely to live in at-risk physical conditions at home (74.12%), had a history of visiting endemic areas (41.90%), did not use mosquito repellent equipment (58%), and had the habit of being outdoors at night (32.28%). Statistical tests showed the risk factors for the incidence of malaria were the physical condition of the house (OR = 3.43; 95% CI 1.20–9.20) and a history of visiting endemic areas (OR = 9; 95% CI 1.20–394). Conclusion: Environmental and behavioral factors affect the incidence of malaria. It is recommended that the Padang City Health Office provide counseling through health promotion officers about healthy homes and advise people not to go to endemic areas.

Humans as caliphs in the world must preserve the environment because human survival is very dependent on the environment. In encouraging the preservation of the environment, the community must live up to the values of wisdom that support the maintenance and preservation of the environment. However, in the digital age, this has led to a shift in cultural values of local wisdom. These values are increasingly fading because media exposure is increasingly dominating all human life. As experienced by the community in Cimanggu Village, Ngamprah District, West Bandung. They recognize that there are changes and shifts in cultural values. The focus of this research is to look at the cultural values of local wisdom that exist in the village and how the meaning of the shift in cultural values of local wisdom by the media for the local community. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological study approach. Data collection techniques using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study revealed that the cultural values of local wisdom in the Cimanggu village were (1) Ngahiras, (2) Nyalin, (3) Tarawangsa, (4) Palak Science, (5) Palakiah, and (6) Kotok Jewer. The meaning of shifting the cultural values of local wisdom by the media for the local community includes: (1) Village communities perceive technological media as making rural communities more consumptive, (2) creating a shift in the professional direction of rice farmers into vegetable growers, and (3) Media exposure has a positive side as well as the negative side.
Burden of stillbirths and associated factors in Yirgalem Hospital, Southern Ethiopia: a facility based cross-sectional study
Authors: Mengesha Sintayehu , Dangisso Mesay Hailu 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Background Stillbirth is an adverse pregnancy outcome of public health importance causing considerable psychosocial burden for parents and their family. Studies on stillbirth are scarce in southern Ethiopia. An assessment of stillbirths and associated factors in health care settings helps in devising strategies for tailored interventions. Therefore, we assessed the burden of stillbirths and associated factors in Yirgalem Hospital, southern Ethiopia. Methods : A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted between 1 August 2015 and 30 July 2016. We randomly selected medical records of pregnant women from a hospital delivery registry. Bivariate analysis was employed to assess the association between independent and dependent variables using chi-square with significant p-value. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for stillbirths and to control for confounding. Results : Of 374 reviewed records of pregnant women, 370 were included for the study. The magnitude of stillbirths was 92 per 1000 births. Fifteen, (44.1%) of fetal deaths occurred after admission to the hospital. In multivariate logistic regression, stillbirths were higher among low birth-weight babies (<2500grams) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 10.70, 95% CI 3.18-35.97) than normal birth-weight babies (2500-<4000). Pregnant women who experienced a prolonged labour for more than 48 hours were 12 times (AOR: 12.15, 95% CI 1.76-84.12) more likely to have stillbirths than pregnant women without a prolonged labour. Pregnant women with obstetric complications were 19.8 times more likely to have stillbirths than pregnant women without obstetric complications. Similarly, pregnant women with at least 2 pregnancies were more likely to have stillbirths than pregnant women with less than two pregnancies (AOR: 4.39, 95% CI 1.21-15.85). Conclusion: We found a high burden of stillbirths in the study setting. Modifiable risk factors contributed to a higher risk of stillbirths; therefore, tailored interventions such as early identification and management of prolonged labour and obstetric complication at each level of health system could avert preventable stillbirths.
