Shipping Containers (SC) are a viable option as temporary or permanent housing for disaster victims due to their modularity, strength, and availability in large quantities around the world. While SCs as alternative housing has been extensively explored, few studies have focused on the structural and thermal performance of SCs in a tropical monsoon climate. This paper aims to contribute to a better knowledge of SC building construction by (1) investigating the SCs structural performance when subjected to a variety of loads, including gravity, earthquake, and very strong typhoon, and (2) assessing the thermal performance in a hot and humid climate. The case of Leyte, Philippines, a hot, humid, and typhoon-frequented region, is considered in this study. To meet the objectives, two SCs were combined to build a single-family house. First, the structural strength of the SCs, including the effect of cuts and openings, were investigated using finite element analysis. Second, the thermal condition of the SC was compared using four models with different insulation materials: no insulation, PE foam insulation (R-12), slightly higher insulation (R-13 fiberglass batt), and very high insulation (R-49 fiberglass batt) through building energy simulation. The paper concludes that SCs have inherently high strength and can withstand strong wind and earthquake. Stresses due to cuts and openings were minimized when the cuts/openings were placed far from the corner posts. On the other hand, increasing insulation R-value did not improve the indoor thermal condition of the SCs. More work needs to be done on making SCs thermally comfortable in hot and humid climates.

Published: August 2021

Perilaku buang air besar sembangan (BABS) di Kabupaten Pandeglang Banten masih tinggi, dimana dari 1,23 juta penduduk, 451 ribu orang melakukannya. Kondisi ini cukup memprihatinkan, mengingat BABS membuat pencapaian indikator kesehatan menjadi kurang optimal.
Pendekatan pemerintah dalam membangun sarana dan infrastruktur sanitasi sehat, termasuk pembuatan jamban keluarga, berbasis ketersediaan dana APBD (Anggaran Pembangunan Belanja Daerah). Karena anggaran terbatas, banyak warga miskin tidak mendapat subsidi dalam pembuatan sanitasi lingkungan. Lembaga Amal Zakar Harapan Duafa (Laz Harfa) membuat model pemberdayaan dengan koonsep komunikasi risiko kesehatan dan program kesehatan berbasis advokasi, dukungan sosial, dan pemberdayaan. Model ini mendorong masyarakat miskin mampu membiayai pembuatan sanitasi lingkungan dengan dana mandiri.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus, karena akan mendalami suatu peristiwa pada kelompok tertentu dalam menerapkan Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) di Pandeglang. Untuk menentukan informan, peneliti menggunakan konsep sampling purposeful dengan informan Direktur Laz Harfa Indah Prihanande. Metode pengumpulan data dengan dokumentasi untuk menggali data-data masa lalu secara objektif dan sistematis. Dokumentasi bersumber berbagai berita media lokal seperti Kabarbanten.com dan situs resmi Lazharfa.org.
Temuan penelitian, Laz Harfa menerapkan STBM melalui dua hal yaitu memperkenalkan komunikasi risiko kesehatan dan menjalankan program kesehatan berbasis advokasi, dukungan sosial, dan pemberdayaan berhasil dilakukan di Kabupaten Pandeglang. Pesan komunikasi yang disampaikan melalui program kesehatan dapat mendorong masyarakat miskin menjadi mandiri, termasuk dalam membiayai program-program kesehatan dan program pemberdayaan. Sehingga biaya untuk kebutuhan pembuatan jamban sehat dan permodalan keuangan mikro, dilakukan dengan mandiri, tanpa mendapat subsidi dari Laz Harfa atau pemerintah.

Abstrak
Budaya memainkan peran yang sangat penting dalam politik karena menjadi cerminan masyarakat dalam menentukan sikap dan pilihan politik atau membentuk karakteristik masyarakat dalam berpolitik. Contoh dari hubungan antara budaya dan politik bisa tergambarkan pada isu kekerabatan pada pilkada Manggarai Barat 2020 yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini. Fenomena kekerabatan yang dimaksud adalah adanya kecenderungan dari masyarakat Manggarai Barat pada umumnya untuk memilih pemimpin yang seasal atau karena faktor kekerabatan dan kekeluargaan atau dikenal sebagai budaya lonto leok yang masih kuat mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat termasuk politik. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma interpretif dengan metode penelitian Fenomenologi. Adapun pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan dengan data primer yaitu melakukan wawancara mendalam dan dokumentasi serta data sekunder berupa studi kepustakaan. Wawancara dilakukan kepada para informan yang melakukan lonto leok menjelang Pilkada Mabar Tahun 2020 dan juga pada pilkada-pilkada sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa makna kekerabatan dalam budaya lonto leok pada proses pilkada di Manggarai Barat adalah kebersamaan dan ketergantungan. Sementara peran budaya lonto leok dalam proses politik adalah pada saat pengambilan keputusan dan menumbuhkan ikatan kekerabatan.

Abstract

Culture plays a very important role in politics because it reflects the everyday life of society in determining political attitudes and choices or shaping the characteristics of society in politics. One of them many examples about the relationship between culture and politics can be illustrated in the issue of kinship in the 2020 West Manggarai regional election discussed in this study. The kinship phenomenon in question is the tendency of the West Manggarai community in general to choose leaders who are in the same kinship and it is known as the lonto leok culture which still strongly influences people's life, including politics. This study uses an interpretive paradigm with phenomenological research methods. The research data collection was carried out with primary data, namely conducting in-depth interviews and documentation and secondary data in the form of literature study. Interviews were conducted with informants who conducted lonto leok ahead of the 2020 Mabar Pilkada and also in the previous pilkada. The results showed that the meaning of kinship in the lonto leok culture in the election process in West Manggarai was togetherness and dependence. Meanwhile, the role of lonto leok culture in the political process is at the time of making decisions and fostering kinship ties.

Published: August 2021

Con el fin de cumplir con los objetivos educativos para avanzar en el contexto del siglo XXI, los educadores e investigadores se han embarcado desde hace tiempo en la búsqueda de investigar y proponer diferentes métodos, modelos y estrategias de enseñanza para contribuir a mejorar las prácticas de enseñanza y así comprender mejor los factores que entran en juego en la dinámica y proceso de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, en este caso particular, la de un idioma. La búsqueda por mejorar la experiencia de aprendizaje por una en la que los alumnos puedan crecer académica, profesionalmente y en general como seres humanos, conscientes, conectados, interesados, atentos y activamente involucrados en su propio crecimiento es una constante y preocupación vigente. Para el caso que aquí se construye, se propone una reflexión teórica en relación a dos métodos de enseñanza para mejorar la competencia comunicativa intercultural y la progresión lingüística implícita en el aula de lenguas extranjeras. Los principios del AICLE y del ABP reúnen las condiciones necesarias para abogar por la mejores practicas de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la lengua, el rol intercultural y su significancia en la experiencia de aprendizaje.
Se sugiere que al fusionar los principios de aprendizaje AICLE y PBL se puede sostener una estructura y experiencia de aprendizaje para mediar potencialmente la competencia comunicativa intercultural. Los principios teóricos de ambos enfoques deben integrarse en función de las necesidades específicas del contexto de enseñanza, el plan de estudios, la población y el nivel de idioma.

Authors: Ghimire Pradeep , Mishra Sushil , Karmacharya Balgopal , Yogi Nikunja 
Published: August 2021

Background: Polytrauma is a term used to describe the patients those are severely injured associated with other injuries (i.e. two or more severe injuries in at least two areas of the body), less often with a multiple injury (i.e. two or more severe injuries in one body area). More than 40% of the patient of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) dies due to extra cranial causes. We hypothesized that extra cranial injuries with polytrauma may alter TBI outcomes and perform the study.
Materials and methods: An analytical study was done with the patient of moderate to severe head injury admitted to neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Manipal Teaching Hospital in between January to December 2019. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of concomitant extra cranial injury (Polytrauma) in the outcome of Moderate to severe head injury.
Results: In our study it is seen that, those individuals who have presented delayed in emergency department from the time of incidence under the influence of alcohol, likewise with mean Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) below 8.16+/-3.22 and abnormal pupils, high injury severity score (ISS), and with polytrauma have poorer outcomes.
Conclusion: Concomitant extra cranial injuries, injury severity score(ISS),injuries associated under the influence of alcohol, delayed presentation in emergency after incident, GCS below 9 during presentation in ER and abnormal pupils during examinations are the strong predicting factors for the poor outcome of patient with traumatic brain injury.
Neurobehavioral Changes: An under looked aspect of Head Injury
Authors: Rijal Suman , Nepal Pankaj Raj 
Published: August 2021

Background: Different types of behavioral changes are seen in head injury patients, and these changes are directly or indirectly related to daily activities. Major alterations of personality after head injury are generally seen in the patients with severe head injury. However, disturbing post-concussional symptoms like headache, dizziness and memory problems generally persists for few months even in the less severely injured ones.
Materials and methods: Objective: To analyze the neurobehavioral changes in adult head injured patients.
Study design: Prospective analytical study. Sampling technique: Non - probability consecutive sampling. Site of study: National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences, Bansbari, Nepal. Inclusion Criteria: All head injured patients above the age of 16 years. Exclusion Criteria: Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale of less than 3 at 6 months follow up. Data Collection and Analysis: All patients above the age of 16 years with head injury who got admitted were enrolled in the study. Parameters like age, gender, mode of injury, GCS at presentation were recorded. Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale along with Neurobehavioral rating was evaluated at 6 months. Then neurobehavioral rating scale was obtained by direct interview. Data analysis was done using SPSS v.20.
Results: Total number patients were 76 among which 71% were below 40 years of age and majorities (87%) were males. Neurobehavioral categories like abnormal intentional behavior, lowered emotional state, heightened emotional state, arousal state and language had significant association with GCS at presentation and EGOS at 6 months. Similarly, age had significant association with language, where there was absent to mild language difficulty in patients below 40 years of age. Likewise, language difficulty, lower emotional state and abnormal intentional behavior were significantly associated with gender, as it was mild to severe in 30% of the female population who had sustained head injury.
Conclusion: Several neurobehavioral characters seem to be present in the various categories of the head injured patients in different ratios. Language problems seems to be less in the younger patients below the age of 40 years; although, few neurobehavioral parameters seems to affects the females more common compared to male counterparts. Also, family disruption and its extent of severity was significantly related to the severity of head injury.

Background: This research article aims to evaluate the demographic variables, clinical profile, causes and outcome determinants of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (SICH) in a population of Western Nepal. The study represents the cases of SICH reported from Manipal Teaching Hospital, a tertiary center at Gandaki province of Western Nepal.
Materials and methods: Retrospective data collection and analysis were done with consecutive cases of SICH admitted to our center between January 2018 and March 2019. The variables analyzed include age, gender, chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of tobacco abuse, alcohol abuse, Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission, radiological(CT scan) findings, treatment modality, an outcome at 6 months period, etc. Modified Rankin score (mRS) was used to assess the outcome at discharge and after six months.
Results: Our study group of 237 patients included 171 males and 66 females and the mean age of presentation was 64.02 years. The study group included 121 patients (51.1%) who were previously diagnosed with systemic arterial hypertension and 15 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The most frequent locations of hematoma were basal ganglia (n=127), lobar (n=94), intraventricular hemorrhage (n=69), cerebellar (n=15) and brainstem (n=11). The mean volume of the blood clot on admission was 25.97 ml. surgical evacuation of hematoma and decompression through craniotomy was done in 52 (21.9%) patients. Independent predictors of unfavorable outcomes includes the variables like headache (p=0.007), aphasia (p=0.017), mean GCS score (p=0.00) and motor GCS score (p=0.00); CT finding of intraventricular extension of hemorrhage (p=0.00), midline shift (p=0.00), intracerebral blood volume (p=0.00); and surgery (p=0.007).
Conclusion: ICH predominantly affects a younger population in Nepal in comparison to the Western world. The variables include clinical features like headache, aphasia, pupillary size and reaction, mean GCS score and motor GCS score; CT finding of intraventricular extension of hemorrhage, midline shift, intracerebral blood volume; and surgery were the predictors of an unfavorable outcome. On binary logistic regression, the ICH score was the most consistent predictor of unfavorable outcomes in terms of MRS (OR 2.236, p=0.002).

The research is devoted to the in vitro study of the behavior of the model system «irrigation balanced salt solution BSS − H2O» in order to further develop treatment, rehabilitation and prevention measures for patients with ophthalmic diseases. The aim of the investigation is the experimental determination and analysis of physico-chemical properties of irrigated balanced salt solution, the study of its behavior in the aquatic environment to model changes in the characteristics of intraocular fluid and further development of rehabilitation and preventive measures for ophthalmic patients. Materials and Methods. The study used methods of physico-chemical analysis, in particular, densimetry and viscosimetry of model systems containing BSS for intraocular use and double-distilled water in different volume ratios. The density of the system was determined pycnometrically (20.00 0С ± 0.05 0С; 101.3 kPa); the correction for weight loss of bodies in the air has been taken into account. Viscosity was measured under the same conditions with an Ostwald viscometer. Statistical analysis and evaluation of the reliability of the results were performed using such software products as MS Excel 2007, Google Spreadsheets, SPSS Statistics. Results. Approximate mathematical models of the dependences of density and kinematic and dynamic viscosity on the composition of the multicomponent system «BSS – H2O» were obtained with quite high coefficients of determination. Statistical significance and adequacy of model selection were tested by Student's criterion at a significance level of 5 %. To develop therapeutic, prophylactic and rehabilitation measures, mathematical models of kinematic and dynamic viscosity dependences on the density of the «BSS – H2O» system, measured under the same conditions, were built. The models also have high coefficients of determination. Conclusion. The in vitro physico-chemical analysis of the system «BSS – H2O», as well as the obtained approximate mathematical models can be used to predict possible changes in the characteristics of irrigated balanced salt solution during its long stay in the patient's eye.

Effect of brewing method on quality parameters and antioxidant capacity of black tea
Authors: Guzel-Seydim Zeynep B. , Seydim Atif Can , Greene Annel K. 
Published: August 2021

Introduction: The traditional method for brewing tea in Turkey involves use of a two-vessel apparatus known as a “caydanlik.” The caydanlik allows for tea to be brewed for a longer time than typical brewing methods and involves introducing boiling water to tea leaves and steeping them in a teapot as the temperature declines over 15 minutes. In comparison, the typical tea brewing method used in other parts of the world involves steeping tea leaves in a single vessel teapot for 5 minutes. This study evaluated the effects of these two methods of brewing using two brands of tea. Results: Results of this experiment indicate that use of the caydanlik and the accompanying longer brewing time significantly changed key quality parameters and increased the antioxidant capacity of the brewed black tea beverage. Use of the caydanlik method resulted in significantly higher (P < 0.05) theaflavins, thearubigins, theabrownins, and total polyphenols in the resultant tea than in tea brewed in a traditional teapot. Additionally, analysis of color values of the brewed tea indicated the L and b-values were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the caydanlik brewed tea while a and hue values were significantly higher (P < 0.05). However, chroma values were not significantly different (P < 0.05) between the two methods. Conclusions: In addition to influencing color, flavor and aroma, the brewing method also influenced the functional properties of prepared black tea. Use of the traditional two-vessel caydanlik for tea preparation increased concentrations of beneficial functional components in the tea.Keywords: Black tea, Caydanlik, Brewing, Camelia sinensis, ORAC, Total Phenolic Content
