Authors: Zuo Na-ying , Zhang Yuan-da , Dong Qing-wei , Bi Jing , Liu Xiao 
Published: July 2021

Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of anti-HP treatment on the nutritional status of children with Helicobacter pylori-positive gastritis.
Methods: Sixty children with Helicobacter pylori-positive gastritis admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the experimental group, and 60 healthy normal people (Hp negative) were selected as the control group. The experimental group were given anti-HP treatment, and the improvement of their clinical symptoms after treatment and the changes of nutritional indexes such as hemoglobin and serum ferritin were observed one year after treatment. Gastroscopy was performed before treatment and four weeks after treatment, and the improvement of gastric inflammation and the positive rate of Hp were compared and analyzed before and after treatment.
Results: The nutritional indicators of the children in experimental group were inferior compared with those in the control group (p<0.05). The clinical symptoms and signs of the experimental group were significantly alleviated after anti-Hp treatment, and the biochemical indicators were significantly improved after one Year of follow-up compared with those before treatment (p<0.05). The incidence of moderate and severe gastric mucosal inflammation in the experimental group decreased from 70% before treatment to 17% (p<0.05). The HP infection decreased from 100% before treatment to 13% (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori infection has a negative impact on the nutritional status of children. Anti-HP therapy can improve the gastrointestinal symptoms and nutritional status of children, which plays an important role in the growth and development of children.

This study aims to reveal the portrait of Javanese women in Java in the past. This research was conducted using an associative-diachronic meaning approach. The disclosure of phenomena is carried out by describing each lexicon of traditional household tools based on their associative meaning. The lexicon is analyzed based on its associative meaning based on the local wisdom of Javanese culture. Diachronic studies to explore the wealth of local wisdom stored in traditional household appliances as a legacy from the past. The level of urgency of this research is the shift and replacement of the use of traditional household tools to tools made from plastic and metal. This phenomenon will lead to abandonment of traditional household appliances and being forgotten. The research location is in Kudus Regency which is part of the north coast of Central Java. The data collection methods used were in-depth interviews and document data extraction. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam dan ekstraksi data dokumen. The data analysis method used was to sort out the semantic elements and determine the associative meaning of the lexicon of traditional household appliances. The novelty of the findings lies in the design of descriptions of associative semantic elements in traditional household appliances based on local wisdom.
Learning with Leaflet of Electronegativity (LoEN): Enhancing Students' Understanding on Electronegativity, Chemical Bonding, and Polarity
Authors: Erlina E. , Cane C. , Williams D. P. 
Published: July 2021

Previous research has reported that many high-school and undergraduate students have difficulty explaining the relationship between polarity and electronegativity even though they may be familiar with the concept of polarity. This study aims to address these misconceptions using a leaflet and assess its effectiveness using questionnaires and concept testing.Â A simple, colorful printable leaflet was produced and distributed to students in Indonesia. The Leaflet on Electronegativity (LoEN) provided students with an overview of the theoretical basis of the concepts and guidance on applying these principles. The leaflet format is cheap and easy to mass-produce, which is an important factor given the limited access to other types of appropriate learning resources in Indonesia. The leaflet formed the basis of a classroom discussion activity. Visualization is known to play an important role in constructing students' conceptual understanding, so the leaflet made extensive use of diagrams to explain relevant concepts. The leaflet was printed in full color to make it visually appealing and facilitate student learning. Students were tested before and after learning with the LoEN. A Paired-sample t-test using SPSS is used to compare the pretest and posttest scores to measure the effectivity of the LoEN.A statistically significant improvement in scores (p = 0.000) was achieved, which indicates that using the LoEN in the classroom helps students understand the topic. Also, students' positive responses signify that the LoEN provides an engaging way to learn the concepts.

Published: July 2021

This study aims to determine the effect of concentrations and salinity of seawater on the bioaccumulation of zinc and cesium in the Glauconomya virens. Salinity conditions and contaminant concentrations in the marine environment can change due to weather and other inputs. A biokinetic experiment was carried out using a single compartment approach that used radiotracer 65Zn and 137Cs. The experiments conducted were biota collection, acclimatization, bioaccumulation, and elimination. Acclimatization aims for the adaptation of biota in an experimental environment. Bioaccumulation was by placing the biota in an aquarium containing seawater media spiked by 65Zn, Zn, and 137Cs radiotracer contaminants. The elimination process was the release of contaminants from the body of the biota by placing them in clean and flowing seawater. The experimental results show that the uptake and elimination of Zn and Cs were influenced by these two parameters (water concentration and salinity). The highest value of Concentration Factor (CF) for Zn was 11.14 ml.g-1 under influences its concentration of 0.7 ppm in water. In the depuration process, Zn maintained by G virens were 39.44; 31.17; 23.62; and 23.92% after these organisms accumulate this element from seawater containing 0.1; 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 ppm, respectively. The highest of 137Cs under influences its concentration of 3 Bg.ml-1 reached 2.65 mL.g-1. The effect of salinity is directly proportional to the factor value of Zn and 137Cs concentration.

Published: July 2021

Coagulopathy and associated thrombotic complications are common conditions seen in COVID-19. Therefore, anticoagulants are an integral part of the treatment of patients with COVID-19.The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of oral anticoagulants and low molecular weight heparins in the prevention of pulmonary embolism and their safety in terms of major bleeding incidence, as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using oral anticoagulants in the treatment of COVID-19.Materials and methods. Two stages of patient management were compared: before and after the start of a widespread use of oral anticoagulants (OAC). The incidence of pulmonary embolism and gastrointestinal bleeding during the compared time periods was analyzed to assess the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants. To assess the cost-effectiveness, we compared the cost of anticoagulants per day of treatment and per patient.Results. The incidence of pulmonary embolism and gastrointestinal bleeding did not differ during the compared time periods. Despite the increased frequency of anticoagulant use, the costs per day of treatment and per patient decreased after the start of a widespread use of OACs.Conclusion. According to the results of the study, inclusion of OACs in COVID-19 management protocols allows to reduce treatment costs without compromising its efficacy and safety. However, the short period of comparison does not allow drawing any firm conclusions. Additional large-scale comparative studies are needed.
Fatty Liver Index as a Simple and Useful Predictor for 10-year Cardiovascular Disease Risks Determined by Framingham Risk Score in the General Korean Population
Authors: Chung Tae-Ha , Kim Jong-Koo , Kim Ji-Hye , Lee Yong-Jae 
Published: July 2021

Background and Aims: The fatty liver index (FLI) is a simple and non-invasive method for the diagnosis of fatty liver disease with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as liver-related mortality. We examined the association between FLI and 10-year CVD risk as determined by the Framingham risk score.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 7,240 individuals aged 30 to 69 years who underwent a health examination between 2015 and 2017. The FLI was calculated using an algorithm based on triglyceride, γ-glutamyltransferase, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess independent relationships between the FLI and Framingham risk score after adjusting for confounding variables.
Results: The overall prevalence of fatty liver disease among study participants as assessed by an FLI ≥ 60 was 19.7%. Compared with non-hepatic steatosis (FLI < 30), the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for a high Framingham 10-year CVD risk ≥ 10% in individuals with hepatic steatosis (FLI ≥ 60) was 2.56 (1.97–3.33) after adjusting for age, gender, fasting plasma glucose, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, C-reactive protein, regular exercise, alcohol-drinking, and current smoking.
Conclusions: The FLI was positively and independently associated with a Framingham 10-year CVD risk in the general Korean population. Our findings suggest that the FLI, a simple, useful, and economical index, may be an indicator of CVD events.

Algunas reflexiones sobre los jóvenes y tipos de territorios rurales
Authors: Dirven Eisenberg Martine 
Published: July 2021

Los indicadores socioeconómicos y el acceso a servicios e infraestructura básica suelen mejorar desde lo rural-lejano y disperso hacia las ciudades grandes. Los ocupados rurales no suelen tener un “empleo decente” según los criterios de la OIT. Los jóvenes con mayor educación formal e información suelen tener anhelos y expectativas que creen no poder cumplir en estos territorios y menos en el sector agrícola. Las relaciones causa-efecto parecen llevar a un círculo vicioso en desmedro de los territorios rural-lejanos y dispersos, salvo con cambios en el sistema valórico imperante.
Transiciones demográficas, diferencias regionales y seguridades sociales: contexto, criterios y técnicas de apoyo para la definición de políticas
Authors: González Pulido Alejandro 
Published: July 2021

Este artículo presenta una revisión crítica de las carencias metodológicas para identificar con criterios razonables la dinámica demográfica de Colombia, en su conjunto promedio, y los niveles de transición de cada una de las regiones y municipalidades, haciendo énfasis en la actual imposibilidad de identificar los marcados contrastes que existen entre las ruralidades y las llamadas zonas urbanas, así como entre ellas mismas. De igual forma, cuestiona las premisas y propuestas políticas impositivas que tienen como único asidero los datos arrojados por los censos poblacionales, así como argumentos de autoridad que no suelen ser sometidos a un real juicio crítico, reproduciendo, en ocasiones, falacias que traen consigo injusticia social y el desarrollo de políticas altamente regresivas. A partir de este ejercicio, el autor desarrolla un índice y un algoritmo que no solo satisfacen la necesidad de contar con una metodología para establecer, con enfoque diferencial, las fases y niveles de transición de cada región o localidad, sino que además constituyen un punto de partida para establecer tipologías sobre urbanización y ruralidades, con claros criterios sobre temporalidades y gradualidades, que permitan la planeación y el desarrollo de políticas integrales y articuladas sobre protección, seguridad social y pensiones.

The development of digital systems in learning is gaining attention at, significantly higher education level. Through the digital world, technological innovation makes social life and everyday lifestyle more accessible than ever before. The use of technology has a positive impact on lifestyle and has a positive impact on education. This study aims to obtain experts’ consensus on the appropriate and accurate elements to be included in the I-Aqran module as an approach to Arabic vocabulary consolidation in the learning of UiTM students. This study uses the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), in which experts’ views and consensus on the six primary constructs containing 34 tested items are produced. Fifteen (15) experts were selected from seven (7) educational institutions in Malaysia as a study sample. The findings show that these experts arrived at a consensus on 27 tested items in which they have a mean score and experts’ evaluation of less than the threshold value(d) ≤ 0.2. The percentage of these experts’ consensus also shows that 27 items tested are above the value of 75%, while seven remaining tested items prove otherwise and therefore rejected. All items that gained experts’ consensus are then listed down in tables based on sequence ranking and its relation from least important to most important items. This study can benefit not only lecturers and students for Arabic vocabulary consolidation but also the developer of learning modules in transforming education through collaboration with interactive technology.
