Aims:
The aim of this study was to investigate the correct use of gloves and alcohol-based products for hand hygiene and identify opportunities for hand hygiene replacement with gloves among healthcare professionals working in the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care of a tertiary care University Hospital.

Background:
Two centuries have passed since the discovery of Semmelweis that the “puerperal fever” was due to an infection transmitted by the hands. Currently the hand hygiene is still not well performed, rather it is often replaced by the improper use of gloves. Microbial transmission is estimated to occur in one-fifth of all contact cases.

Objective:
To investigate the correct use of gloves and alcohol-based products for hand hygiene and identify opportunities for hand hygiene replacement with gloves among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, to correlate the consumption data of the hydroalcoholic solution and the amount of antibiotics used for the treatment of hospital-acquired infections.

Method:
The study was conducted over six months period (from January to June 2018); during this period, 20 monitoring sessions were performed. The following indicators were evaluated: a) Non-adherence to hand hygiene with concomitant use of gloves; b) Adhesion to alcoholic friction of hands; c) Hand-washing adhesion. Instead, the consumption data, provided by the hospital ward itself, were used for the evaluation of d) The antibiotics used in the treatment of hospital-acquired infections; e) The hydro-alcoholic solution used by the healthcare professionals for hand hygiene.

Results:
The frequency of non-adherence to hand hygiene was very high at the beginning of the study, subsequently it decreased to about a half percent to that at the initial stage. The adhesion to alcoholic friction of hands increased during the study period. Otherwise, the hand-washing adhesion slightly reduced, especially in March probably due to the recruitment of new inadequately trained nursing staff. The trend of antibiotic consumption was similar to handwashing. The consumption of hydro-alcoholic solution was very low, however over time, it increased considerably until the end of the study.

Conclusion:
In light of the findings from this work, it is necessary to make the hospital staff increasingly aware of the correct practice of hand hygiene and to organize training and informative sessions to promote the health of the individual and the community.

Authors: Neupane Netra P. , Das Aman K. , Singh Anuj Kumar , Verma Amita 
Published: July 2020

Background:
Severe viral pneumonia cases were observed in the people of Wuhan, China in
December 2019. It has already affected almost every country around the globe and was declared a pandemic
by the World Health Organization. We aim to evaluate the therapeutics and safety of various off
label COVID-19 drugs.

Methods:
PubMed, Research Gate, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Centre for Disease control and prevention
(CDC) portal, Chinese Centre for Disease Control and prevention (CCDC) portal, World Health
Organization (WHO) portal were searched for obtaining reliable data.

Result:
COVID-19 is creating a storm of deaths and active cases globally, which is forcing the pharmaceutical
companies and scientists to work day and night to find an effective and safer anti-COVID-19
medication. Various in vitro and clinical trials had been performed as well as are currently ongoing to
analyze the mechanisms and therapeutics of off label medications like Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine,
Amodiaquine, Azithromycin, Remdesivir, Favipiravir, Ritonavir/Lopinavir, Umifenovir, Oseltamivir,
Ribavirin, Nafamostat, Camostat, Tocilizumab, Ivermectin, Nitazoxanide, Famotidine, Vitamin
D, Corticosteroids and Dexamethasone. In vitro studies were performed by utilizing Vero E6 cells and
hSLAM cells while open/closed, randomized/non-randomized, single-centered/multi-centered and retrospective
clinical trials and case studies were organized to determine their safety and efficacy.

Conclusion:
Although these drugs have shown promising results against COVID-19 patients, it cannot
be concluded that these drugs are truly safe and effective because there are no conclusive evidence to
support the facts since only limited researches and studies had been investigated.

Authors: Facchinetti Victor , de Souza Marcus Vinícius Nora 
Published: July 2020

Background:
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), sometimes
referred to as the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is currently a worldwide threat to public health.
According to the Johns Hopkins University monitor (available at, coronavirus.jhu.edu/map), there have
been more than 10 million reported cases of coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) and 500,000 deaths
as of June 29, 2020, deeming urgent the identification of a drug candidate and treatment regimen.

Objective:
This work aims to compile the current knowledge available on this drug, including its background,
approved uses, some synthetic methods, the primary pharmacological aspects, the results
against COVID-19 reported so far, and ongoing clinical trials against COVID-19.

Methods:
We reviewed relevant press releases, scientific articles, and official documents to compile information
about Favipiravir.

Results:
We highlight, in a clear and concise form, not only the published and ongoing clinical trials on
the use of Favipiravir against COVID-19 but also compile some relevant synthetic and pharmacological
information available about this drug.

Conclusion:
The Antiviral Favipiravir has shown interesting preliminary results, but it seems too early
to recommend a treatment protocol for COVID-19 based on this drug. Robust clinical trials that will
provide less biased data on its efficacy and safety are being pushed forward by FUJIFILM Corporation
and by research groups around the globe.

Published: July 2020

Background
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to rapid acceleration in the deployment of new digital technologies to improve both accessibility to and quality of care, and to protect staff. Mixed-reality (MR) technology is the latest iteration of telemedicine innovation; it is a logical next step in the move toward the provision of digitally supported clinical care and medical education. This technology has the potential to revolutionize care both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective
This pilot project sought to deploy the HoloLens2 MR device to support the delivery of remote care in COVID-19 hospital environments.

Methods
A prospective, observational, nested cohort evaluation of the HoloLens2 was undertaken across three distinct clinical clusters in a teaching hospital in the United Kingdom. Data pertaining to staff exposure to high-risk COVID-19 environments and personal protective equipment (PPE) use by clinical staff (N=28) were collected, and assessments of acceptability and feasibility were conducted.

Results
The deployment of the HoloLens2 led to a 51.5% reduction in time exposed to harm for staff looking after COVID-19 patients (3.32 vs 1.63 hours/day/staff member; P=.002), and an 83.1% reduction in the amount of PPE used (178 vs 30 items/round/day; P=.02). This represents 222.98 hours of reduced staff exposure to COVID-19, and 3100 fewer PPE items used each week across the three clusters evaluated. The majority of staff using the device agreed it was easy to set up and comfortable to wear, improved the quality of care and decision making, and led to better teamwork and communication. In total, 89.3% (25/28) of users felt that their clinical team was safer when using the HoloLens2.

Conclusions
New technologies have a role in minimizing exposure to nosocomial infection, optimizing the use of PPE, and enhancing aspects of care. Deploying such technologies at pace requires context-specific information security, infection control, user experience, and workflow integration to be addressed at the outset and led by clinical end-users. The deployment of new telemedicine technology must be supported with objective evidence for its safety and effectiveness to ensure maximum impact.

Media Agenda on Yogyakarta Sultanate Succession
Authors: Nasionalita Kharisma , Nugroho Catur 
Published: July 2020

Yogyakarta is a province with special status in Indonesia, bound by unique local political rules. According to The Mandate of Law Number 13 of 2012 concerning the Privileges of Yogyakarta, the position of Governor and Deputy Governor must be filled by the determined leaders of the palace. Yogyakarta's local politics went under the spotlight when Sultan Hamengku Buwono crowned his eldest daughter to be the successor to the palace's leadership in his Sabdatama (Kings Order). National regulation does not mention the gender of the Governor and Deputy Governor while in the internal court of the Yogyakarta palace, the position of a leader must be occupied by men. The issue gained intensive national media attention throughout March-May 2015, particularly by Kompas, Republika, and Kedaulatan Rakyat. This research aims to measure the media agenda related to the issue of the Sultanate succession on three selected newspapers. Through the quantitative content analysis method, this research dissects how the media places and emphasizes this issue. The purpose of this research is to identify how issues are prioritized through news content. There are 62 news articles selected from the period March-May 2015. The result of the research shows that all media emphasizes the Sultanate issue in different ways. There is a distinction between the local newspaper Kedaulatan Rakyat and the national newspaper (KOMPAS and Republika). The local newspaper put monarchy issue in the second rank while the national newspaper set constitutional issues such as the polemic prerequisite of Yogyakarta Governor and Deputy Governor in second place.
Measurements of Corona Discharge in Sharp –to-Plane Electrodes Configuration
Authors: J. Mohammed Hassan 
Published: July 2020

A Dc positive sharp- to –plane Corona phenomena have been studied in electronegative gases (air ,and SF6 ) for pressure up to (3.2bar and gap length from 0.1 to 0.5 cm), with high degree of non-uniformity electric field. The corona –breakdown phases can exhibit anomalous characteristics. The exact physical process of such phenomena is not yet fully understood complete. To better understand this process precise knowledge about corona and spark discharge is necessary. Hence the dependency of corona inception and spark breakdown voltage on the pressure, non-uniformity field factor and the type of applied voltage ,also the type of materials.
The steady region of corona discharge is observed in the ( sharp- to- plane ), for applied voltage between the threshold value voltage and onset value , we observe an effect that attaching gases. A Townsend type of discharge develops in the region close to point. At voltages above the onset value , the burst pulses are replaced by a Dc current ,and in some cases 'pre-breakdown ' streamer are also observed.
Fractal Image Compression Using Block Indexing Technique: A Review
Authors: Ahmed Zainab J. , George Loay E. , Abduljabbar Zinah S. 
Published: July 2020

Fractal image compression depends on representing an image using affine transformations. The main concern for researches in the discipline of fractal image compression (FIC) algorithm is to decrease encoding time needed to compress image data. The basic technique is that each portion of the image is similar to other portions of the same image. In this process, there are many models that were developed. The presence of fractals was initially noticed and handled using Iterated Function System (IFS); that is used for encoding images. In this paper, a review of fractal image compression is discussed with its variants along with other techniques. A summarized review of contributions is achieved to determine the fulfillment of fractal image compression, specifically for the block indexing methods based on the moment descriptor. Block indexing method depends on classifying the domain and range blocks using moments to generate an invariant descriptor that reduces the long encoding time. A comparison is performed between the blocked indexing technology and other fractal image techniques to determine the importance of block indexing in saving encoding time and achieving better compression ratio while maintaining image quality on Lena image.

Published: July 2020

The regions around the world need to perform their results based on the local geoid. However, each region has different ground topography based on the amount of gravity in this region. Nowadays, the recent global Earth's gravity model of 2008 is successfully used for different purposes in geosciences research. This research presents an overview of the preliminary evaluation results of the new Earth Gravitation Model (EGM08) in the middle of Iraq. For completeness, the evaluation tests were also performed for EGM96 by examining 31 stations distributed over four Iraqi provinces. The national orthometric heights were compared with the GPS /leveling data obtained from these stations. This study illustrated that the GPS /leveling based on EGM08 data was better than that based on EGM96 data in terms of reducing the root mean square error (RMSE) of the differences between the orthometric heights and GPS/leveling data. The standard deviation (SD) values for the national orthometric heights and GPS heights were about 4 and 26cm, respectively. The results also show that there is a small difference in hight ranged (0.0013 - 0.1333 m) in Karbala, (0.0023 â€“ 0.0062 m), in Najaf and (0.0173 â€“ 0.0703 m), in Babylon. Due to the flat area, better results were obtained in Karbala and Najaf than Babylon. The EGM08 geoid method has shown to yield very close results to reality for various projects, thus its accuracy is acceptable.
