Authors: Sahin Halil Turgut 
Published: July 2021

In these days, preparation of eco-friendly wood surface coating agents has become important topic for environmental concerns. In this study, an alternative surface coating formulations was prepared with adducts of oils of apricot kernel (A), sesame (S) and grape seed (G) were mixed with oil modified alkyd-based synthetic varnish system. These emulsions were applied on Rowan (Sorbus torminalis) wood and exposed artificial UV irradiation. However, all emulsion coated samples show lower water sorptions regardless of conditions or level of treatments. Increasing adduct charges from 5.0% to 10% have not considerably effects for water sorptions. The reducing water sorption properties of 35.5%, 35.2% and 39.4% were obtained with 10% sesame oil-varnish coated samples of 10Sı and 10 Sıı in one- and two-time coatings and three-times coated samples of 5Sııı in 5.0% sesame oil-varnish emulsion coatings, respectively. Moreover, selected oil adducts into varnish had one and two point lowering effects on coated surface hardness (in 4H-5H levels). The UV exposure seems to not much influence on surface hardness properties. The similar tendency were also observed for cross-cut resistance that marginally similar adhesion (scratch resistance) for both control and UV exposured samples. Increasing coatings and charge of apricot kernel oil in varnish emulsion looks like more effective than other varnish formulations, in terms of gloss stability. However, increasing adducts charges and UV radiation time, have more less similar effects on all coated and UV irradiated samples.

Authors: Yaria Joseph. O. , Ogunniyi Adesola 
Published: July 2021

Objective: In management of epilepsy, identification of an epileptic seizure, classification, epilepsy syndromes, and management decisions relies heavily on seizure semiology. However, since most seizures are not witnessed, obtained semiology has its limitations. This study aimed to determine how many patients could successfully submit a home recording of a seizure event and if adapted video compilations would improve epilepsy diagnosis and classification in a low resource setting.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study carried out at a neurology clinic in a teaching hospital in a low-resource setting. Sixty-seven randomly selected patients with recurrent unprovoked seizures and an informant who had regular observed the seizures and had access to video recording facilities were enrolled. Participants were required to fill an interviewer-administered questionnaire, select from a pre-designed video compilation what best described seizure witnessed, then encouraged on acquisition of video recordings at home. In the absence of video electroencephalography, information obtained was compared with a pre-defined algorithm which combined clinical history, physical examination, EEG results and neuro-images. Accuracy and reliability was calculated for different semiological signs and seizure classification.
Results: Sixty seven patients were recruited comprising of 30 females and 37 male patients. Only eight (12%) participants returned with an adequate home recording of seizure episode. Incorporating video selection with questionnaire obtained description improved accuracy for generalized seizure (0.85 vs 0.79) and focal onset seizure (0.84 vs 0.73). Test-retest reliability on video selections by informants showed kappa coefficients ranging from 0.88 – 1.000.
Significance: Home video recording may not be as practical in our environment depending on the setting as adjustments may be required to make it routine. However, selecting videos from pre-selected video compilation may be a viable alternative to improve accuracy.

Opinions of the Healthcare Providers Regarding a Medically Oriented Sri Lankan Teledrama
Authors: Ariyarathna H. T. D. W. 
Published: July 2021

Introduction: A considerable portion of the ethics related to the medical curriculum is taught to the students by a department of forensic medicine. Medical professionals generally depict good ethical behavior while any deviations from the ethical practices negatively affect the intended health care. Ethical behaviour in the professional setting cannot be compromised by healthcare providers as it is a cornerstone of providing the best possible health care. “Television reality’ is a term that needs to be explored by medical professionals once the health care sector is being portrayed in it.
Objectives: The primary goal of this study was to investigate how medical professionals perceive their respective characters when they are portrayed through the eyes of others via a teledrama. Other goals included determining how different strata of health professionals felt about the teledrama that was aired, what they thought about health professionals' ethical behaviour, and whether health professionals liked how they were portrayed in the drama.
Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study completed at a tertiary care hospital. The questionnaire was pretested and designed to be a self-administered questionnaire comprised of multiple-choice questions. The participants were allowed to watch an episode of the teledrama before being asked to complete a questionnaire. The findings were analyzed using the SPSS version 23. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: 401 people took part in total (doctors: nurses: other = 109:197:95). The male-to-female ratio was 1:3 (males, n = 113 (28.2%) and females n=288 (71.8%). Only 6.7% (n=27) of participants thought the teledrama was beneficial to society, while the majority thought the opposite. Approximately two-thirds of the participants (n= 268) expressed dissatisfaction with the drama. According to 56.1% (n=225) of the participants, the producer intended to humiliate the medical profession. 34.7 % of participants (n=139) thought the teledrama should be banned.
Conclusion: It is one of the prime duties of health professionals to safeguard the medical profession. At the same time the freedom of the producers of teledramas should equally be respected. Anyhow the overall findings were consistent with the fact that a clear majority of participants are hesitant to continue watching such programmes because they negatively portray professionals and the health profession. As a result, before approving the telecast, a scrutinizing mechanism should be established through a responsible body of the Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka.
Impacts of Rodents Pests on Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L): A Mini Review
Authors: Asunbo O. I. 
Published: July 2021

Aim: To assess the impacts of rodent pests on Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) production and productivity.
Rodents belong to the mammalian order that is widely distributed globally. Their adaptive potential and capability to face changing environments even when instigated by anthropogenic activities is quite amazing. Also, their importance as vital links in food chain between species of plants and the predators thereby playing crucial roles within the ecosystem cannot be overemphasized. Rodents have been noted to cause ubiquitous damage to agricultural crops including cocoa. They can cause damage in crop fields from planting throughout harvest and storage. The damages caused by rodent pests mostly occur during the sensitive young seedling stage and just prior to harvesting. The pattern and the extent of damage by pest rodents depend upon the species, the intensity of infestation, the type and the growth stage of the crop, and the nature of the surrounding habitat. These damages caused by rodent pests could be direct through the consumption of cocoa beans or indirect through the biting, gnawing or scratching of pods which could range from slight to severe. The stern impacts caused as a result of rodent pest activities are not only felt in the quantity and quality of cocoa pods but also on the social maintenance as well as survival of those growing the crop. Despite the paucity of documented data as regards the kind, form as well as ferocity of rodent damage, it is highly expedient to re-evaluate the rodent pests’ impacts on the production of cocoa so as to update the very scarce available information whilst providing a basis for additional investigation.

Aim: Ayurveda describes herbal or polyherbal or herbo-mineral medicines such as Avipattikar churna for treatment of Amlapitta, ajirna for centuries. Ayurvedic medicines are associated with limitations namely, palatability, stability and accuracy of dose. Ayurvedic medicines lack in adequate safety and efficacy evidence data. The aim of the study was to develop a stable and palatable Avipattikar suspension using recent formulation and analytical techniques. The study was also aimed at determination of acid neutralizing capacity of Avipattikar suspension and predicting its efficacy for treatment of Functional Dyspepsia and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder. Methods: Flocculated Avipattikar suspension was prepared using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the suspending agent, sodium citrate as the flocculating agent, mannitol as a taste masking agent. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate, Tween 80®, glycerin and mannitol were not used in Deflocculated Avipattikar suspension. The sedimentation volume, degree of flocculation, redispersibility and pH of the suspension was evaluated. The acid neutralization capacity of Avipattikar suspension was determined by Unite States Pharmacopoeia method.
Results: The present study successfully demonstrated formulation of stable Avipattikar suspension from Avipattikar churna. The suspendability of sediment was retained for 15 days in presence of CMC. The results indicated that the acid neutralizing capacity of Avipattikar suspension (2.80 mMol of H+/ gm) was similar to that of the marketed antacid suspension (2.756 mMol of H+/ gm). The unpleasant taste of herbal drugs was masked satisfactorily.
Conclusion: Avipattikar suspension may be a cheaper, safer and effective alternative for current antacids for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
Equisetum arvense L. Extract Ameliorates Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Testicular Injury Induced by Methotrexate in Male Rats
Authors: Alahmadi Ahlam A. , Abduljawad Eman A. 
Published: July 2021

Methotrexate (MTX) is a cytotoxic drug used to treat a wide range of cancers and non-cancerous conditions. However, it can cause unfavorable acute toxic effects in several organs, including the testis. Equisetum arvense L. (E. arvense) extract is effective in counteracting oxidative stress-related disorders. This study assessed the preventive effect of E. arvense extract against MTX-induced testicular toxicity. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) was used to analyze the active constituents of E. arvense extract. Testicular toxicity was induced via MTX injection (0.5 mg/kg/ twice a week for 4 weeks). Forty male albino rats were divided into 4 groups: I- control (Cont); II: MTX; III: E. arvense (500 mg/kg/daily for 10 weeks); and IV: E. arvense + MTX. E. arvense main active constituents were squalane (15%), ascorbic acid per methyl (9.55%), phytol (8.69%), 2-pyrroline 1,2-dimethyl (8.63%), and octacosane (8.23%). Treatment of MTX injected rats with E. arvense produced a significant rise in body weight, serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone. E. arvense significantly increased the sperm counts, viability, and motility relative to the MTX injected rats. The levels of testicular oxidative stress and inflammation significantly reduced in the MTX rats treated with E. arvense. Furthermore, E. arvense markedly improved the testicular tissue and seminiferous tubules’ pathologic features in MTX-treated rats. E. arvense significantly decreased lipid peroxidation products, interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha while increasing superoxide dismutase levels. E. arvense prevented MTX-induced testicular damage via anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Abstract

Objectives
This study identifies the ecological (ie, policy, environment, intrapersonal, and interpersonal) factors affecting the implementation of an Infant at Work program in a university setting.

Methods
Data were collected among faculty, staff, and graduate students at a large Midwestern university from February to July 2020 via focus group (FG) discussions with university employees (n = 22) and semistructured interviews with university administrators (n = 10). We used techniques from expanded grounded theory, allowing for a constant comparative approach to data contextualization and theme identification.

Results
Three themes emerged from the FG data: (i) program and policy scope, (ii) employee and employer benefits, and (iii) workplace concerns. Onsite daycares, flexible schedules and participation, and expanded childcare options were some of the programs and policies employees desired. However, barriers to implementing these types of programs include cost, safety, and structure of the work environment.

Conclusions
Findings offer practical recommendations and strategies to improve work/life balance among parents transitioning back to work in a university environment. Findings also provide insight into the feasibility of family-friendly workplace policies and environments. Additionally, findings provide a framework for other organizations to implement similar Infant at Work programs to improve employee work/life balance.

Abstract2D halide perovskite‐like semiconductors are attractive materials for various optoelectronic applications, from photovoltaics to lasing. To date, the most studied families of such low‐dimensional halide perovskite‐like compounds are Ruddlesden–Popper, Dion–Jacobson, and other phases that can be derived from 3D halide perovskites by slicing along different crystallographic directions, which leads to the spatially isotropic corner‐sharing connectivity type of metal‐halide octahedra in the 2D layer plane. In this work, a new family of hybrid organic–inorganic 2D lead halides is introduced, by reporting the first example of the hybrid organic–inorganic post‐perovskite 3‐cyanopyridinium lead tribromide (3cp)PbBr3. The post‐perovskite structure has unique octahedra connectivity type in the layer plane: a typical “perovskite‐like” corner‐sharing connectivity pattern in one direction, and the rare edge‐sharing connectivity pattern in the other. Such connectivity leads to significant anisotropy in the material properties within the inorganic layer plane. Moreover, the dense organic cation packing results in the formation of 1D fully organic bands in the electronic structure, offering the prospects of the involvement of the organic subsystem into material's optoelectronic properties. The (3cp)PbBr3 clearly shows the 2D quantum size effect with a bandgap around 3.2 eV and typical broadband self‐trapped excitonic photoluminescence at temperatures below 200 K.
Direct View on Non‐Equilibrium Heterogeneous Dynamics in Glassy Nanorods
Authors: Spangenberg Katharina , Hilke Sven , Wilde Gerhard , Peterlechner Martin 
Published: July 2021

AbstractAmorphous solids are potential candidates for room temperature applications, such as structural materials, due to their outstanding mechanical properties. For the first time, the local atomic dynamics of amorphous metallic nanorods are spatially resolved at room temperature using electron microscopy. Methodologically, quasi‐equilibrium conditions are verified by two‐time correlation functions. FeNiP is chosen as a suitable model system since a bamboo structure forms upon electrodeposition into nanotubular confinement, consisting of thin Fe‐rich and Ni‐rich amorphous layers. Therefore, the present nano‐glassy structure allows studying the glass dynamics of two glassy phases at once, at the same time avoiding any preparation‐related structural artifacts of the intrinsically electron‐transparent samples. By comparing the local atomic mobility with the local composition and the local structural information of the glassy phases, correlations between medium‐range order and time scales of heterogeneous glassy dynamics are consistently obtained.

Published: July 2021

AbstractMacrophages are abundant immune cells, which serve as a primary cell population capable of interacting with foreign substances, including engineered nanomaterials (NMs). In addition to the phagocytic activity, macrophages also play a central role in innate immunity and contribute to the initiation of adaptive immunity. Since macrophages are a natural reservoir for NMs, nanoparticles (or nano‐enabled strategies) are commonly utilized to target this cell type and fine tune its polarization status in different disease scenarios. In this review, a high‐level description of macrophage biology is first introduced. It is followed by the discussion on the impact of therapeutic NMs on macrophages in solid tumors and how macrophages, in turn, impact the immune system and heterogeneity in the tumor microenvironment. Another major thrust is to discuss the applications of NMs in noncancer diseases with a focus on how NMs can be used to influence macrophages in the process of tissue repair, wound healing, myocardial infarction, and certain autoimmune diseases. In addition to the design of nanocarriers to impact macrophage function, whether the same response outcome can be achieved by intrinsic NM's physicochemical properties, allowing the potential usage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient‐free nanomaterials for therapeutic purposes, is also discussed.

Published: July 2021

AbstractClinical treatment of pathogenic infection has emerged as a growing challenge in global public health. Such treatment is currently limited to antibiotics, but abuse of antibiotics have induced multidrug resistance and high fatality rates in anti‐infection therapies. Thus, it is vital to develop alternative bactericidal agents to open novel disinfection pathways. Drawing inspiration from elements of the human immune system that show great potential for controlling pathogens or regulating cell apoptosis, the design of biocatalytic nanomaterials (BCNs) have provided unrivaled opportunities for future antibacterial therapies. More significantly, BCNs exhibit various superior properties to immune cells and natural enzymes, such as higher biocatalytic performance, extraordinary stability against harsh conditions, and scalable production. In this review, the most recent efforts toward developing BCN‐based biomedical applications in combating bacterial infections are focused upon. BCNs’ antibacterial mechanisms, the classification of BCNs, antibacterial activities that can be triggered or augmented by energy conversion, and the eradication of biofilms with BCNs are systematically introduced and discussed. The current challenges and prospects of BCNs for biocatalytic disinfection are also summarized. It is anticipated this review will provide new therapeutic insights into combating bacteria and biofilms and offer significant new inspiration for designing future biocatalytic nanomaterials.
