Published: November 2021

This article is a continuation of the part I, entitled " University students. Ties with the state and the society - international comparative study. Idea, concept, preparation". We shown the main aspects of our approach. The chosen method, created testing tool, has its own inovative and original nature. There are two reasons for that, firstly, due to the specificity of the area, the object of the research, and secondly, due to the established aims - combining many, so far uncombined, aspects.
In addition, we present the concept of the teamwork concept used during the research trip and the original method created to regionalise of the testing tool. It should be noted that, we cooperated with local partners/consultants in order to create the best possible questionnaire - regionalised - adapted to the requirements of culture and history of a given country. Regional coordinators came from both academia and non-academic communities. We write about the necessity of regionalization the testing tool used to measure, identify and diagnose variables in a broader context - in the context of the struggles of other researchers conducting international research. So the article contains numerous references to other international and comparative studies. The presented text also discusses the course of the conducted research followed by the strategy of processing and analysis of data, which were a natural consequence of previously indicated solutions and selected paths.

Published: November 2021

O artigo busca problematizar o uso do sketchbook como uma ferramenta didática que auxilia e potencializa o desenvolvimento do processo criativo na arte-educação, relacionando-o com a Arte Contemporânea. Ressalta ainda a importância do estímulo à criatividade no educando, habilidade importante, não somente para o ensino, como também para a vida contemporânea, buscando desmistificar alguns mitos relacionados à criação. Para tal, trouxemos autores como Charles Watson (2020), John Dewey (2010), Belidson Dias e Rita L. Irwin (2013), Icleia B. Cattani (2007), e outros, com objetivo de fundamentar e justificar metodologias ativas baseadas na experiência prática do educando, bem como a criatividade no ensino da arte. Apresentamos artistas brasileiros e contemporâneos que fazem uso do sketchbook como meio para estimular o pensamento criativo em seu processo poético. Ademais, relatamos experiências particulares com sketchbooks próprios e com a aplicação de aulas

Las funciones de los bibliotecarios en la universidad incluyen cada vez más responsabilidades relacionadas con la docencia. Se ilustra la relevancia del acceso y uso competente de la información en el Grado en enfermería. El bibliotecario docente universitario emerge como la figura que debe asumir responsabilidad en la formación de los estudiantes en materia de información. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las percepciones que estos tienen con respecto a su desarrollo profesional y sus funciones como docentes. Se optó por un estudio descriptivo e interpretativo con un abordaje cualitativo. Se realizaron 21 entrevistas semiestructuradas a bibliotecarios de 18 universidades españolas que imparten docencia en el Grado en Enfermería. Los hallazgos sugieren que los bibliotecarios demandan más formación pedagógica antes de comenzar su carrera bibliotecaria, colaboración de los docentes y reconocimiento por parte de la universidad para una perfecta comprensión de su concepto como nueva figura en la docencia.
The functions of librarians in the university increasingly include responsibilities related to teaching. The relevance of the competent access and use of information in the Nursing Degree is shown. Academic librarian in University emerges as the accurate figure to assume responsibility in the "information management skills" student´s training. The objective of this study was to analyze the librarians perceptions regarding professional development and their functions as teachers. Through qualitative approach, a descriptive and interpretive study was performed. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with librarians from 18 Spanish universities teaching in the Nursing Degree. The findings suggest that librarians demand more pedagogical training before starting their library career, mayor collaboration with teachers and institutional recognition as necessary for a perfect conceptual understanding of their new teaching figure.

Published: November 2021

Background and Objective: Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a very common human infection worldwide, colonizing the stomach of 50% of the world’s population. H. pylori play a major role in the development of iron deficiency, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. H. pylori infection is more prevalent in developing countries and its acquisition is predominant in childhood. The aim was to determine the prevalence of HP and its association with serum iron levels in children aged 1-12 years attending the Buea Regional Hospital.
Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study involving 189 children. About 2 mL venous blood was collected and analyzed using immunoassay diaspot one step H. pylori Test Device and spectrophotometers to determine H. pylori immunoglobulin G and serum iron level respectively. Chi-square and Odd ratio test were used to determine the association at 95% confidence interval.
Results: A prevalence of 31.7% (60/189) and 47.1% (73/155) for H. pylori and low serum iron level was observed respectively. There was significantly associated between H. pylori and serum iron levels, with majority (60% (36/60)) of the HP positive participants having normal iron level 60% (36/60) (P=0.007 χ2=9.91). A significant association was also observed between HP and Anemia, with majority (41.67% (25/60)) of those positive for HP experienced mild anemia (P=0.009 χ2=11.55). H. pylori was more prevalent among males 38.04% (35/92) compared to 25.77% (25/97) for females.
Conclusion: This study recorded 31.7% and 47.1% prevalence of H. pylori and low serum iron level respectively, in the studied population. Male gender was most likely to be infected with H. pylori infection and children of age group 5 ≤ - < 9 years recorded the highest HP infection. There was significantly associated between H. pylori and serum iron levels, as well as H. pylori and type of anemia, although majority of H. pylori positive individuals had high serum iron level and mild anemia. This may imply that HP remains one of many risk factors or comorbidities of anemia and abnormal iron levels.

Published: November 2021

Aim: The study evaluated the heavy metals and contamination status of soil around active and abandoned waste dumpsites in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria.
Methodology: Five soil samples were collected at the topsoil (0-15cm depth) in a regular distance of 20m, 40m, 60m, 80m and 100m from the center of the dumpsites and control plot. The soil samples were analysed for heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Cd, Fe, Pb and Zn), pH and total Organic C (TOC) using standard laboratory analyses and contamination indices to determine the soil contamination status. Descriptive statistics involving mean and standard deviation were used for the data analysis.
Results: The mean concentrations of Cu, Cr, Cd, Fe, Pb and Zn in active dumpsite was 3.2616mg/kg, 0.3983 mg/kg, 0.2027 mg/kg, 6.5785 mg/kg, 2.6991mg/kg and 12.4111mg/kg respectively while that of the abandoned dumpsite are 1.3913mg/kg, 0.3693mg/kg, 0.0882mg/kg, 3.6235mg/kg, 0.4158mg/kg and 4.0140mg/kg respectively. Hence, the soil samples in both dumpsites exceeded the allowable limit of World Health Organisation (WHO). The order of heavy metal concentrations in the dumpsites was Zn>Fe>Cu>Pb>Cr>Cd. The contamination factor of the heavy metals follows order: Pb > Cu > Cr > Zn > Fe for both dumpsites. The degree of contamination ranged from (1612.51 to 2286.83 for active dumpsite and 26.14 to 641.46 for abandoned dumpsite) indicating very high degree of contamination. Modified degree of contamination ranged from 46.09 to 381.14 for active dumpsite indicating “ultra-high degree of contamination” and 4.36 to 106.91 for abandoned dumpsite indicating high degree of contamination to ultra-high degree of contamination. Pollution Load Index ranged from (5.08 to 8.12 for active and 1.63 to 4.16 for abandoned dumpsite) indicating polluted soil with various heavy metals.
Conclusion: the concentration of heavy metals combined with the contamination indices revealed that the soils around the dumpsites are contaminated/polluted; hence, pose ecological and health-related risk.
Literature Review on History and Pharmacotherapy of Parkinson`s Disease
Authors: Supriya P. , Rajaram S. 
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by: Pill rolling tremors, Akathisia (inability to sit still), Rigidity, Kinesis (akinesia, dyskinesia), Instable (stooped) posture, no arm swinging in rhythm with legs, Sialorrhea Oculogyric crisiseyes are held fixed for a variable length of time), Nervous depression, Involuntary tremors, Seborrhoea and Masked facial expression.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with an estimated prevalence of 31 to 328 per 100,000 people worldwide. It is estimated that more than 1 percent of the population over age 65 are afflicted with Parkinson’s disease; incidence and prevalence increase with age. There are numerous unanswered questions regarding the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s disease. Surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease is generally considered for patients who respond to medications but have intolerable side effects. Surgical options include ablative procedures, deep brain stimulation, and tissue transplantation. This review focused on History and management of Parkinson’s disease. The purpose of this literature review is to gain an understanding of the existing research relevant to history and pharmacotherapy of Parkinson’s disease.
Conclusion: Pharmacological treatment of PD should be tailored to the individual patient. Drug therapy is not obligatory in early PD; many patients can be managed for a time with exercise and lifestyle interventions. For patients with mild symptoms, MAO-B inhibitors, amantadine, or (in younger patients) anticholinergics are reasonable choices.

Authors: Bhonde Prajwal , Sawarkar Achita , Wanjari Mayur 
Published: November 2021

Background: The dual-chamber, rate-modulated mode (referred to as DDDR) is the most recent cardiac pacing mode to become available. It restores both rate responsiveness and atrioventricular synchronization in patients with sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular block. This pacing method combines rate-modulated dual-chamber and single-chamber technology. As a result, it is required to program both a maximum and a minimum. tracking rate and a maximum sensor rate, as in dual-chamber and single-chamber rate-modulated devices, respectively.

Published: November 2021

Budd-Chiari syndrome occurs due to obstruction of hepatic venous out-flow which in turn produces intense congestion of the liver. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), which is an auto-immune disorder has protean manifestations such as easy fatiguability, arthralgia, photosensitivity, malar rash, fever, alopecia but our case had an unique association of ascites and hepatosplenomegaly due to Budd Chiari syndrome stemming from the root cause of Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLA) is very rare. SLE accounts for 40% of the cases of APLA. SLE presenting with Budd-Chiari syndrome as an early manifestation is unusual and is rarely reported in the literature. Here we report a rare case of a young female who presented with abdominal distension, abdominal pain and fever diagnosed to have Budd-Chiari syndrome as a presenting feature of SLE and on further evaluation she was also found to have antiphospholipid syndrome secondary to SLE.

Published: November 2021

Background: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative illness characterized by progressive nerve cell degeneration in the brain, mainly in the basal ganglia. It often manifests itself between the ages of 30 and 40. The disease is including inherited genetic genes, which means that the affected person inherits the gene from a parent who also has the same genes. In populations of western European origin, the incidence of inherited genetic diseases is 3-10 per 1,00000. In India, it is far less common.
Case Presentation: This is a case of a 57 -year-old female schoolteacher who was brought to our institution with a trembling movement all over the body and imbalancing while walking. The clinical presentation of characteristics such as difficulty controlling his hands and fingers due to involuntary, uncontrolled motions is used to make the diagnosis He walked without a cane and seemed to be in good physical shape, yet when asked to sit, he slumps heavily into the chair. CT or MRI scans indicate lacunar ischemic foci in bilateral periventricular white matter. Mild cerebral and cerebellar atrophy was present. Complete blood testing were also carried out.
Conclusion: There are currently few therapies available. The emergence of treatment methods capable of directly targeting HTT, on the other hand, signals a new phase in HD research. There is now more than ever a serious possibility of modifying and preventing HD.

Published: November 2021

Aim: The present study aims to investigate the phytochemical, antimicrobial and acute toxicity assay of methanol extract of Citrus medica L. fruit (CMF) and Citrus hystrix D.C. fruit (CHF).
Place and Duration of Study: Fruit samples were collected between February to August 2018, at the Department of Life Sciences, Manipur University.
Methodology: Phytochemical studies were conducted using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), HR-LC-MS (High Resolution-Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), Graphite Furnace-Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GF-AAS), and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) respectively. The standard filtered disc-diffusion method was used for antimicrobial assay. Acute toxicity was performed using 423-OECD guidelines.
Results: GC-MS and HR-LC-MS analysis showed presence of Ranitidine, 4-Methylesculetin, Diosmin and Avobenzone in CMF whereas 9-Octadecenamide, Gamma-Sitosterol, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 2-Methoxy-4-Vinylphenol, Rhoifolin, Diosmin and Phytosphingosine in CHF. GF-AAS and ICP-OES study prominently showed Pb content in both the samples. Highest element in CMF was Pb (4.26±0.120 ppm) while in CHF was Cr (4.35±0.70 ppm). Antimicrobial study exhibited highest inhibitory effect of CMF against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia while CHF against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus than Gentamicin (p<0.05). No toxicity behaviour and mortality in mice were observed during acute toxicity study period even at a dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight. Changes in serum constituent level were observed however, no genotoxicity was recorded.
Conclusion: We concluded that CMF and CHF cultivation site selection should be the first step to avoid Pb content. The CMF and CHF have many health beneficial constituents. From this study also concluded that CMF and CHF may be a potential source of antiulcer, antimicrobial, antiarthritic, diuretic, antiinflammatory and anticancer effects. However, further study to understand whether changes in serum constituent level for prolonged period usages as medicine or nutraceuticals is highly recommended.
An Ayurvedic Perception of Primary Amenorrhea for a Blissful Womanhood
Authors: Annapurna R. , Thankachan Shyny , Kulkarni Bhagavan G. , Devi M. Girija 
Published: November 2021

Amenorrhea is the absence of a menstrual period in a during woman's reproductive age. About 3 to 4%of adolescent girls suffer from primary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is not a life-threatening disease condition, but can result in significant complications. Primary amenorrhea can leads to calcium loss which will result in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis manifests with no clinical symptoms, until there is a fracture and results in a reduced quality of life.
Amenorrhea is considered as Anartava in Ayurveda. The concept of Anartava is explained in different contexts. By analyzing those contexts, we can infer that the main causes are Mithyahara and vihara (Improper diet and regimens of mother during the pregnancy period and the girl/woman during her reproductive period), Beeja dosha (Genetic deformities/abnormalities) and Dushtartava (Hormonal imbalance).
Ayurveda is a science that focuses on the quality of living, aims not only in curing the disease rehabilitating but also in preventing it. A good progeny of procreation is a real bliss. In the present scenario, the Primary amenorrhea is one of the gynecological issues which affects the quality of life of a woman and has a wider impact on her physical, psychological and social well-being. Because of the physical, psychological and social impact, it is very necessary to have a look at its causes for the better prevention and management. This promises a generation with better reproductive health.
