Published: April 2021

Background: As of December 2018, BPJS Kesehatan has received application from 4,909 people to be registered as non-contribution assistance beneficiary (PBPU) through Gandrung JKN. Number of people to be registered to BPJS as non-contribution assistance beneficiary (PBPU) tends to fluctuate every month and tends to be stagnant in several districts, including in Licin Subdistrict. Most of people in Licin Subdistrict also not familiar with Gandrung JKN program. Objective: This student-community partnership is carried out to minimize the gap in community knowledge about what JKN is and the procedure to be registered in JKN scheme. Method: The role of students in the effort to introduce and register the community in JKN was designed by bringing the community closer to the Banyuwangi Gandrung Program. This community service consists of three stages, including activities in provisioning the students and health cadres about JKN and Gandrung JKN, direct socialization by students in the Licin subdistrict community, and efforts to provide closer access of community to BPJS Kesehatan. Results: The debriefing in the first stage was given directly by the Banyuwangi Branch BPJS Kesehatan to increase students' knowledge of JKN. Students then successfully carried out direct socialization to the Licin subdistrict community. Three villages were successfully accompanied and performed a high level of participation in the socialization session. Community service has also succeeded in bringing people closer to BPJS Kesehatan. Conclusion: The information conveyed in this activity was well received by the community because it was tailor-made according to the information needed by each family. Student assistance sharpens students' ability to communicate and understand JKN. Although the assistance succeeded in increasing the community's knowledge, in the short term it did not significantly increase the desire to register to become a JKN participant.

Pre-service teachers’ beliefs about English Language Teaching and Learning in EFL classroom: A review of literature
Authors: Pusparini Ririn , Widiati Utami , Susanti Arik 
Published: April 2021

Pre-service teachers’ (PST) beliefs and practices have been agreed as an initially vital basis to continue maintaining a qualified learning process. This article reviews the research on PSTs’ beliefs and practices concerning teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL) and the exploration of the complex relationship between EFL PSTs’ beliefs and practices. It encompasses a discussion about the nature of teachers’ beliefs, an overview of PSTs’ belief formation, and some previous studies on PSTs’ beliefs. The review of related literature summarizes the empirical studies on PSTs’ beliefs and practices from 2011 up to 2020, which reveal the diversity and similarity of the studies on EFL PSTs’ beliefs. The result obtained in this study depicts that PSTs’ beliefs about EFL teaching and learning are affected by prior language learning experiences, teacher education, and teaching practices. Besides, some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs change covering time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence. Finally, when their tacit beliefs turn into explicit beliefs, PSTs can identify and assess their beliefs attributed to their classroom practices, from which EFL PST education can be informed to design better courses and prepare PSTs’ future careers.
HIGHLIGHTS:

EFL PSTs’ beliefs are acquired from many years of learning experiences they got from schools to teacher education, of which the condition has influenced what and how they learn to teach.
Their beliefs, then, influence what they say and do in the classroom, which, in turn, shapes their beliefs.
Some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs changed: time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence.

Authors: Ratnadewi Dwijani , Wijaya Armeria 
Published: April 2021

Research has shown that the initial few years of children’s lives are the best times for language to develop at a rapid pace, the first language (L1) or a foreign language (FL) may be acquired these times. Researches on preschoolers FL acquisition with home-based intervention (HBI) have not been studied extensively under the L1 environment. This study aims to examine the results of HBI on the development of the acquisition of Indonesian preschoolers’ English as a Foreign Language (EFL) sentences. This research is a case study with naturalistic observation design, where data were obtained from logbooks and interview. The research subjects were 2 preschoolers about 36 months. The study’s duration was 24 months from the 13th until the 36th month with HBI, namely parents-based and authentic/semi authentic-media intervention. The data were the children’s English sentences taken at 24th to 36th months at their own homes. The Owens’ acquisition of sentence forms measured the English sentences’ development of in the respondents’ conversation and self-narration. This research found that at about 36th month, these Indonesian preschoolers were able to communicate in English in various sentences such as declarative, negative, interrogative, imperative, embedded and conjoining.
HIGHLIGHTS:

Simultaneous foreign language learning and first language acquisition for children is tangible advantage.
Authentic input and active interaction act as the language environment substitute in foreign language learning.
Intensive learning makes preschoolers speak a foreign language earlier.
Empirical Correlations for Prediction Slug Liquid Holdup on Slug-Pseudo-Slug and Slug-Churn Transitions in Vertical and Inclined Two-Phase Flow
Authors: Abdul-Majeed Ghassan H. , Arabi Abderraouf , Soto-Cortes Gabriel 
Published: April 2021

SummaryMost of the existing slug (SL) to churn (CH) or SL to pseudo-slug (PS) transition models (empirical and mechanistic) account for the effect of the SL liquid holdup (HLS). For simplicity, some of these models assume a constant value of HLS in SL/CH and SL/PS flow transitions, leading to a straightforward solution. Other models correlate HLS with different flow variables, resulting in an iterative solution for predicting these transitions. Using an experimental database collected from the open literature, two empirical correlations for prediction HLS at the SL/PS and SL/CH transitions (HLST) are proposed in this study. This database is composed of 1,029 data points collected in vertical, inclined, and horizontal configurations. The first correlation is developed for medium to high liquid viscosity two-phase flow (μL &gt; 0.01 Pa·s), whereas the second one is developed for low liquid viscosity flow (μL ≤ 0.01 Pa·s). Both correlations are shown to be a function of superficial liquid velocity (VSL), liquid viscosity (μL), and pipe inclination angle (θ). The proposed correlations in a combination with the HLS model of Abdul-Majeed and Al-Mashat (2019) have been used to predict SL/PS and SL/CH transitions, and very satisfactory results were obtained. Furthermore, the SL/CH model of Brauner and Barnea (1986) is modified by using the proposed HLST correlations, instead of using a constant value. The modification results in a significant improvement in the prediction of SL/CH and SL/PS transitions and fixes the incorrect decrease of superficial gas velocity (VSG) with increasing VSL. The modified model follows the expected increase of VSG for high VSL, shown by the published observations. The proposed combinations are compared with the existing transition models and show superior performance among all models when tested against 357 measured data from independent studies.

Abstract
Sine oculis homeoprotein 1 (SIX1) was discovered to exert an essential role in embryonic development and it was also identified to be re-activated in various types of mammalian cancer. Immunohistochemical and SIX1 gene expression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic role of SIX1 expression. SIX1 expression was suppressed by short hairpin RNA transduction in the SNU398 HCC cell line. The effects of SIX1 on proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, drug resistance, and sphere formation were assessed in SIX1 knock-down cells. The upregulated expression levels of SIX1 were revealed to be correlated with the stage of the disease in breast, colon and liver cancer, with liver cancer exhibiting the highest expression profile. SIX1 knockdown significantly affected the cell morphology, proliferation, downregulated the protein expression levels of ZEB1, ZEB2 and SNAI1 and upregulated the expression levels of TWIST1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Furthermore, SIX1 knockdown cells were more sensitive to sorafenib treatment; however, the expression profile analysis of the drug resistance genes ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 did not explain this sensitivity. Finally, SIX1 knockdown cells were identified to have decreased CD90 levels and lost their sphere-forming ability, which is essential for cancer stem cell properties. Overall, these results indicated that SIX1 expression may be useful as a diagnostic marker for patients with HCC.

Abstract
Background: Thyrotoxicosis is the state of thyroid hormone excess with a spectrum of disease ranging from mild to life-threatening complications like thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy and thyroid storm. This study aims to explore the pattern, clinical manifestation, complication, management, and drug adherence of patients with thyrotoxicosis in a tertiary hospital of Northern Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from 2017 to 2018. Data from a 200 thyrotoxicosis cases was collected using a structured questionnaire that includes Morisky Medication Adherence Scale questions. After describing variables, a logistic regression was conducted to identify independent predictors of dilated cardiomyopathy and drug adherence. Statistical significance was declared at p<0.05. Results: Mean age at presentation of thyrotoxicosis was 45 years and females accounted for 89% of the cases. As well, the most common symptom and sign were palpitation and goiter respectively. Thyroid storm occurred in 6% of the cases. Out of 89 patients subjected for echocardiography, 35 (39.3%) of them had dilated cardiomyopathy. And, the odds of dilated cardiomyopathy was higher in patients who had atrial fibrillation (AOR=15.95, 95% CI:5.89-38.16, p=0.001) and tachycardia (AOR=2.73, 95% CI:1.04-7.15, p=0.040). All patients took propylthiouracil and 13.0% of them experienced its side effects. Concerning β-blockers, propranolol was the most commonly (78.5% of the cases) used drug followed by atenolol (15.0%). Six patients underwent surgery. Lastly, drug non-adherence rate was 26% and it was significantly associated with illiteracy, side effect, lack of information and infrequent TSH follow-up. Conclusions: In developing countries like Ethiopia, patients with thyrotoxicosis have no access to methimazole which is the first-line anti-thyroid drug. In addition, they greatly suffer from dilated cardiomyopathy due to late presentation and side effects of propylthiouracil. Therefore, we recommend that patients should get adequate health information about thyrotoxicosis and anti-thyroid drugs including their side effects. Additionally, hospitals and other concerned bodies should also avail TSH test and methimazole at an affordable cost.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The stability and acid-base properties of MON2O mixed oxides (where M = Be, Mg, Ca; N = Li, Na, K) are studied by using ab initio methods. It is demonstrated that (i) the basicity of such designed systems evaluated by estimation of electronic proton affinity and gas-phase basicity (defined as the electronic and Gibbs free energies of deprotonation processes for [MON2O]H+) were found significant (in the ranges of 272–333 kcal/mol and 260–322 kcal/mol, respectively); (ii) in each series of MOLi2O/MONa2O/MOK2O the basicity increases with an increase of the atomic number of alkali metal involved; (ii) the Lewis-acidity of the corresponding [MON2O]H+ determined with respect to hydride anion (assessed as the electronic and Gibbs free energies of H− detachment processes for [MON2O]H2) decreases as the basicity of the corresponding oxide increases. The thermodynamic stability of all [MON2O]H2 systems is confirmed by estimating the Gibbs free energies for the fragmentation processes yielding either H2 or H2O.

Abstract
BackgroundThe incidence of mental disorders during major events is higher in prenatal and postnatal women than in the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic, subsequent lockdown, and social distancing may have caused changes in newborn mothers’ mental health, postpartum depression (PPD), and breastfeeding practices. There is no information about this topic in Mexican mothers who have delivered newborns during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The objective of this study was to explore whether quarantine measures, social distancing, and hospital containment policies altered the incidence rates of PPD, breastfeeding adherence, and skin-to-skin contact (SSC) in women giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included women who delivered a healthy baby at term in February to July 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants completed an anonymous online survey incorporating the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.ResultsA total of 211 participants were included; their mean age was 30.5 ± 4.6 years and the gestational age at the time of delivery was 38.3 ± 2.0 weeks. Sixty (28.4%) participants reported PPD, and 196 (92.9%) reported breastfeeding their baby during COVID-19. Mothers with PPD had lower levels of exclusive breastfeeding (P = 0.66) and breastfeeding with formula (P = 0.29). Only 23 participants (10.9%) stopped breastfeeding because of issues with latching (30.4%). SSC was reported by 63% of participants and was more frequent immediately after birth (46%). Mothers with PPD reported less frequent SSC (P = 0.001) and later initiation of SSC (P = 0.001) after childbirth. Mothers who initiated SSC used exclusive breastfeeding more frequently during the first 48 h after birth (P = 0.004).ConclusionsWe found a higher prevalence of PPD in new mothers during the pandemic. Mothers reporting PPD were less likely to initiate SSC after birth. These findings suggest that the pandemic and the measures adopted to fight its spread may have harmed maternal well-being during pregnancy and after delivery. Women giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic represent a vulnerable population that may need focused health care. SSC is a simple, cost-effective intervention that may help reduce the incidence of PPD.Trial registrationThis cross-sectional study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04769700).
Legal Status as a Life Course Determinant of Health: Parent Status, Adjudication Stages, and HIV Knowledge Among Highlanders in Thailand

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Background: Rising nativism and political volatility worldwide threaten to undermine hard-won achievements in human rights and public health. Risks are particularly acute for hundreds of millions of migrants, minorities, and Indigenous peoples, who face disproportionately high health burdens, including HIV/AIDS, and precarious legal status (LS). While LS is receiving increasing attention as a social determinant of health and HIV, understandings are still limited to select immigrant communities. Its effects on health among stateless communities, particularly in the Global South, remain largely unknown. Moreover, widespread limitations in census measures of LS reduce its complexity to a simplistic citizen/non-citizen binary or insufficient proxies. Thailand’s ethnolinguistically diverse highlander population experiences disproportionately high HIV prevalence and comprises one of the world’s largest and most protracted cases of statelessness, an acute condition of precarious LS. As such, analysis of LS and health outcomes among highlanders is both critically warranted, and useful as a case study outside of the migration paradigm.Methods: Drawing on the UNESCO Highland Peoples Survey II (2010), an unprecedented and unique cross-sectional census of highlanders in Thailand, we mobilize complex measures of LS in adjusted ordinal logistic regression models to assess how parent citizenship and LS adjudication over the early life course condition adult HIV knowledge—a key protective factor against transmission (n=8,079). Results: Adjusted ordinal logistic regression on knowledge scores reveal that parent citizenship predicts more complete knowledge by 32 to 88 percent, depending on ethnic group. This is partially explained by divergent stages of LS adjudication between birth and adulthood, including successful birth registration and adult citizenship acquisition, along with secondary school completion. Precisely how these factors contribute to HIV knowledge varies by ethnic group. Conclusions: This study advances knowledge of LS outside of the migration paradigm, reveals heretofore unexamined connections between LS and access to public health information, and elucidates how instabilities in LS adjudication stages underlie health inequalities over the life course. Findings indicate that securing success in public health and human rights agendas requires attention to how states deploy LS at birth, and beyond, to structure access and exclusion among migrant and non-migrant communities alike.

Abstract
This study was designed to adapt the Breast Cancer and Lymphedema Symptoms Experience Index (BCLE-SEI) to the Spanish language (BCLE-SEI-Es) and to assess its psychometric properties in Spanish-speaking women diagnosed with breast cancer. 286 breast cancer survivors were recruited. Study measured demographic and medical data and the BCLE-SEI. Reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability (n = 29) after an interval of two weeks. A robust principal components analysis was conducted to explore the dimensions of each BCLE-SEI-Es subtest. Discriminant power of the BCLE-SEI was assessed through a non-parametric test evaluating score differences between non-lymphedema and lymphedema patients. A cut-off point was established via a ROC curve. Cronbach’s alpha: all scales had a value above 0.9. Test-retest reliability: Correlations between questionnaire administrations were above 0.7. The first and second subtests showed a good fit to a unidimensional and two-factor structure, respectively. Lymphedema patients score significantly higher in all BCLE-SEI scales (p < 0.001). A cut-off point was established to predict a possible lymphedema case. The BCLE-SEI-Es is a valid, reliable tool for assessing and identifying the presence of lymphedema among breast cancer survivors and assessing its impact on the physical, functional, psychological and emotional aspects.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The evolution of the vertebrate mitochondrial genome has been the focus of numerous genetic and evolutionary studies over the last several decades. Initially, sampling was heavily biased toward taxonomic orders of greatest economic or health importance, but recent advances in DNA sequencing technology have facilitated a much broader phylogenetic sampling from which we can clarify general evolutionary trends such as patterns of gene rearrangement. Toward this end, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of the 2,831 vertebrate mitochondrial genomes representing 12 classes that are available in the NCBI database. Using a combination of bioinformatics methods, we determined that there is a great variation in the proportion of rearrangement by gene and by taxonomic class, with higher rates being observed in Reptilia, Amphibia, Petromyzonti, Mammalia, and Actinopteri. Further, within each class, there is large variation in proportion of reorganization among different orders or even taxonomic families. Eleven events of convergence in the genic order among different taxonomic orders were determined, most of them not previously reported.
