Authors: Guo Shengyu , Kaminga Atipatsa Chiwanda , Xiong Jie 
Published: July 2021

Background: The rapid spread and uncertain outcome of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) around the world have caused worry, fear, and stress among the general population. Nevertheless, the prevalence of depression among college students in China during lockdown, following the COVID-19 pandemic, and their coping strategies have not been quantitatively assessed.Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression among college students in China during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic and assess their coping strategies.Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the prevalence of depression among college students in China and their coping strategies.Results: The results indicated that, during lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence rates of college students in China suffering from mild, moderate, and severe depression were 25% (95% CI = 17–33%), 7% (95% CI = 2–14%), and 2% (95% CI = 1–5%), respectively. Besides, the proportion of college students who use WeChat and Weibo to acquire COVID-19 knowledge was 39% (95% CI = 13–68%), whereas the proportion of college students using mental health application services (APPs) to deal with depression was 59% (95% CI = 41–73%).Conclusions: The prevalence of depression among college students in China was high during the lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, considering the adverse outcomes of depression, it is imperative to screen college students in China for depression during the CIVID-19 pandemic and provide them with necessary psychological interventions to control and prevent depression. Social media platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo, and mental health APPs could provide an opportunity for psychological health information dissemination for college students. However, their effectiveness in reducing depression will have to be assessed.

Background: South Africa (SA) has the highest incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there is limited research on CRC recurrence and survival in SA. CRC recurrence and overall survival are highly variable across studies. Accurate prediction of patients at risk can enhance clinical expectations and decisions within the South African CRC patients population. We explored the feasibility of integrating statistical and machine learning (ML) algorithms to achieve higher predictive performance and interpretability in findings.Methods: We selected and compared six algorithms:- logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), C5.0, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN). Commonly selected features based on OneR and information gain, within 10-fold cross-validation, were used for model development. The validity and stability of the predictive models were further assessed using simulated datasets.Results: The six algorithms achieved high discriminative accuracies (AUC-ROC). ANN achieved the highest AUC-ROC for recurrence (87.0%) and survival (82.0%), and other models showed comparable performance with ANN. We observed no statistical difference in the performance of the models. Features including radiological stage and patient's age, histology, and race are risk factors of CRC recurrence and patient survival, respectively.Conclusions: Based on other studies and what is known in the field, we have affirmed important predictive factors for recurrence and survival using rigorous procedures. Outcomes of this study can be generalised to CRC patient population elsewhere in SA and other SSA countries with similar patient profiles.

Published: July 2021

Background: COVID-19 outbreaks in prisons and jails may affect both inmates and correctional workers. An observational study has been performed to investigate the efficacy of specific procedures and of a serial testing approach adopted for the COVID-19 prevention in an Italian correctional facility (Bari, Apulia) for inmates affected by chronic diseases.Methods: Two SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing campaigns were carried out for all the prisoners and correctional workers, including correctional officers (CO), administrative staff (AS), correctional health care workers (HCW), and operators working with people completing their sentence outside the prison (OOP). Antigen testing was conducted on nasopharyngeal swab specimens, using a fluorescence immunoassay for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid SARS-CoV-2 antigen. All subjects positive to the antigen test underwent confirmation by rRT-PCR test.Results: In total, 426 new and residential inmates were tested during the first campaign and 480 during the second campaign. Only two new inmates resulted positive at the first campaign, while no positive cases were observed at the second campaign or outside of the testing campaigns. In total, 367 correctional workers were tested at the first campaign and 325 at the second. At the first, 4 CO and 2 HCW showed positive test results, while no new positive cases were observed at the second. Moreover, 1 CO and 1 HCW resulted positive outside of the testing campaigns for the onset of symptoms while at home.Conclusion: The implementation of a full risk management plan in a correctional facility, including both a strict protocol for the application of preventive measures and a serial testing approach, seems to be able to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in both inmates and correctional workers.
Community Case Study of Naloxone Distribution by Hospital-Based Harm Reduction Program for People Who Use Drugs in New York City

Published: July 2021

Background: In 2017, The Respectful and Equitable Access to Comprehensive Healthcare (REACH) Program at Mount Sinai Hospital became a registered Opioid Overdose Prevention Program (OOPP) and received funding from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to develop a program to provide overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) training to at risk population and bystanders. We report on the programmatic quality improvement initiatives conducted.Methods: From April 2017 to December 2020, the REACH OOPP conducted 290 opioid overdose reversal trainings, throughout the Mount Sinai Health System and in multiple other community settings. OEND training was at times offered alone and in other settings alongside Hepatitis C Virus point of care testing. Additionally, a “train the trainer” model was implemented whereby medical students and nurses at outpatient clinics were trained to train others.Results: There were 4235 naloxone kits distributed to 3,906 participants. The training venues included hospital settings (patients and medical staff), public events, substance use programs, educational facilities, homeless prevention programs, faith-based organizations, alternative to incarceration programs, and community-based organizations. We implemented two types of training. During outreach sessions, we utilized one-on-one personalized sessions to train bystanders. When training clinic staff in the “train the trainer” model we utilized a standardized didactic presentation with slides. The two top reasons participants reported for being trained were “Just in case I see someone overdose” (59.3%) and “I'm worried that someone I know will overdose OR that I will overdose” (20.2%).Conclusion: The REACH program at Mount Sinai Hospital developed an effective model to train community bystanders and health care staff by leveraging administrative support and building on broader programmatic initiatives to promote drug user health and stigma-free care for people who use drugs. Hospitals do not currently mandate staff training or keeping naloxone stocked at inpatient units or outpatients clinics posing a challenge when implementing an OEND program in this setting. A recommended policy change needed to decrease overdose deaths is for hospitals to be required to implement systematic naloxone education and access for all health care personal and at risk patients.
Note sur la piété filiale en Asie du Sud-Est theravādin : La notion de « guṇ »
Authors: Kourilsky Gregory

Note on Filial Piety in Theravādin Southeast Asia : The Notion of "Gun".
Gregory Kourilsky.

The study of texts and practices in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia shows that filial obligation towards the parents is one of the commitments that no devotee should overlook. Although Indian Buddhism does not preclude filial piety from the religious sphere, the importance given to "gratitude" or "obligation" towards the
parents seems to be a peculiar feature that sets the so-called "theravādin" tradition apart from the Indian or Sinhalese ones.
Central to this conception of filial piety is the notion of ''gun'' imparted to the five categories of individuals that a person depends upon (mother, father, monarch, lineage, master). While originally borrowed from the Indie stock, the term gun underwent local reinterpretations that gave it a polysemic dimension. The redefined concept of ''gun'' that resulted from this process is perhaps the ultimate tie that still relates "orthodox" Buddhism as practised nowadays throughout the region to the ancient Southeast Asian kammatthān tradition.
Aperçus sur Isocrate à la lumière de l’emploi de quelques termes du vocabulaire politique
Authors: Liou Jean-Pierre 
Published: July 2021

Einblick in Isokrates im Lichte des Gebrauchs einiger Wörter der politischen Terminologie.
Dieser Aufsatz betrifft den Gebrauch von vier Ausdrücken des Wortfeldes polis im Werk des Isokrates. Politis und politeuma kommen nur einmal vor. Das erste Wort konnotiert offensichtlich die Verbindung mit der bürgerlichen Gemeinschaft ; das zweite, abstrakter als bei Aischines oder Demosthenes, wird im Sinne von „Regierungsprinzip“ angewandt. Politeuesthai wird auf sehr verschiedene Weise gebraucht, hier einfach den Genuß des Bürgerrechts bezeichnend, dort die Tatigkeit des Berufpolitikers, wobei Isokrates sehr subtil mit der Zweideutigkeit beider Begriffe umgeht. Unteranderm bedeutet bei ihm das Wort politeia meistens „politisches Regime" oder „Verfassung“. Diese Terminologie widerspiegelt sowohl flüchtige Neigungen des Autors, zum Beispiel seine Faszination vor der persönlichen Macht, als auch tiefere Tendenzen : seine Furcht vor jeder Revolution, seinen Pragmatismus, seine Verweigerung, sich in allzu starre Theorien einsperren zu lassen, seine Vorliebe für ein politisches Regime, in dem ailes, was gut ist an jeder überlieferten politischen Ordnung, beibehalten wäre.
Dénominations des organisations artisanales dans l’Occident romain
Authors: Pavis d'Escurac Henriette 
Published: July 2021

Le substantif abstrait — essentiellement corpus ou collegium, dont l’épigraphie invite à tenir l’emploi pour indifférencié — est suivi du nom de la profession. On constate, avec la multiplication des spécialités, le foisonnement des termes désignant les métiers. Les précisions géographiques complétant la dénomination des associations soulignent leur caractère local, avec des activités strictement limitées à la civitas, au vicus ou au pagus. L’autorisation n’est indiquée que si l’association cherche à rehausser sa valeur en affichant son caractère reconnu d’utilité publique. Souvent la dénomination s’accompagne d’épithètes valorisantes révélant le poids social dont les collèges entendent jouir dans la cité. Les diverses formules se référant à l’individu en tant que membre de l’association éclairent les relations internes au sein des collèges et les intentions psychologiques de leurs membres.
Bien que le collège n’impose aucune obligation d’affiliation, peu d’artisans sont demeurés volontairement au dehors. D’autre part, l’appartenance à un collège n’implique pas toujours l’exercice du métier et la législation impériale intervint pour que la qualification professionnelle correspondît véritablement à la dénomination du collège, afin de prévenir les exonérations abusives des munera publica par entrée dans un collège professionnel.
L’étude de leur dénomination montre que les collectivités de métier ont réussi à jouer un rôle officiel dans la cité et à faire partie intégrante de la hiérarchie urbaine, acquérant la considération, la respectabilité qui faisaient défaut à l’artisan isolé.
Les métiers dans les villages de la Syrie du Nord
Authors: Tate Georges 
Published: July 2021

Craftsmen in the villages of Northern Syria.

We know from the literary texts, as Libanios’ Antiochikos or the Life of Holy Simeon the Younger and from the inscriptions that there were in the villages of Northern Syria tradesmen and craftsmen, the latter especially busy in building activities. There were also oil-mills, as shown by archaeological researches and especially the work of O. Callot.
But G. Tchalenko was wrong when he thought that there were villages specialized in trade and quarters reserved for craftsmen. It is so because tradesmen and craftsmen are at the same time peasants or cattle-breeders.

Systematic Literature Review: Online Digital Platforms Utilization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Adopting Digital Diplomacy
Authors: Ong’ong’a Daniel Oloo 
Published: July 2021

Digital diplomacy has become a subject of scrutiny and public interest in recent years. As technology change, so is the functions of diplomats and ministry of foreign affairs (MFA). Most of the countries and MFAs have tried to streamline their services as well as their communicative context by adopting strategies that make them possible to articulate their position in the digital diplomatic sphere. Different scholars have come up with different definitions of digital diplomacy in regards to their context and content of interest. Although this field is on its embryonic state, it is vital in international relations with few studies done in this field. This study aims to provide a systematic analysis of the current literature on digital diplomacy studies. Therefore, this study contributes to a significant gap in research and provides an ongoing reference to digital diplomacy. It argues that most of the previous studies focused on a qualitative methodology to investigate in countries in Europe, America, Asia, and the Middle East with little attention to African countries. Twitter and Facebook were the major online digital platforms that were investigated as a tool for digital diplomacy while there were no specific theories to study digital diplomacy. Finally, based on the study findings, the study suggests key areas of interest for future research on digital diplomacy.
Thirugnana Sambandhar - A Mathematician
Authors: Subbulakshmi S 
Published: July 2021

India has been the Land of notable poets whose exemplary works are world renowned. One such great poet is Thirugnana Sambandhar. He is a saint, poet, philosopher, composer who belongs to 7th Century. He was born in Seerkaazhi of Tamilnadu. He had coined many Special Geometrical poetic structures like Thiru ezhukkootrirukkai (poem with mathematical Triangular Pattern), Maalai Maatru (a poem with palindromic Structure), Mozhi Maatru (a poem in which the meaning of the poem can be observed by a systematic Chane of words), Gomuthri (Flow of the poem in such a way it forms a wave line), Chakramaatru (a poem which is constructed in a circular form ). By the above mentioned amazing structure He has no parallels in the worlds poetry Thirugnana Sambandhar is the epitome of Tamil Literature has penned down many such extraordinary poems. A Mathematician is one who uses an extensive knowledge of Mathematics in their work. Mathematicians are concerned with numbers, data, quantity, structure, space,models and change. Here in this poetic form Thiruezhukkootrirukkai Thirugnana Sambandhar had used numbers in a brilliant way to form a Triangle. This is called “Chitrakavi” in Tamil. By analyzing the whole poem we will get a geometrical structure. In this Thiruezhukkootrirukkai Thirugnana Sambandhar has constructed the words in such a way to form a symmetrical triangle. These triangle is arranged in a perfect mathematical calculation. This can be analysed through the law of binomial co- efficient. This is analysed and proved in this paper. Thirugnana Sambandhar belongs to 7th Century whereas the Scientist and Mathematician Pascal who discovered the law of Bi-nomial co-efficient belongs to 17th century. Other than this Mathematical diagram of triangle this poem has Palindromic numbers which add more beauty to this structure which is also a mathematical calculation. By constructing this amazing poetic structure Thirugnana Sambandhar proves beyond doubt that he is a “Mathematician” of India of the 7th Century itself who had applied the law of triangle earlier.
A Deconstructive Analysis of Derrida’s Philosophy
Authors: Sahu Sanjaya , Sarangi Harihar , Mallik Partha Sarathi 
Published: July 2021

This paper is designed to reveal some of the philosophical ideas of Algerian-born philosopher Jacques Derrida. Jacques Derrida, a leading figure of Post-structuralism and Postmodernism is best known as the founding father of ‘Deconstruction’ but many of his philosophical ideas such as, logocentrism, differance, phonocentrism, aporia, anti-representationalism, etc. still remain rarely focused. Therefore, in this paper the researcher has tried to explore various philosophical ideas of Derrida before the readers to get acquainted with Derrida’s contribution to the world of knowledge. This research work has done with the help of both primary sources i.e., original writings of Derrida and secondary sources including the texts written by others. Here, all of Derrida’s ideas are explicitly described and justified by an inductive method. Finally, a concluding remark on deconstruction has been made by comparing Derrida’s idea of “Differance” with Nagarjuna’s concept of “Emptiness” which left the Indian roots of deconstruction.

Abstract: COVID-19 is a new disease. Many people feel the impact of this disease. There is no definite cure for COVID-19, so many people use traditional medicine to ward off COVID-19, including ginger. This study aims to determine whether there is an interaction between compounds in ginger (gingerol and zingiberol) and the COVID-19’s main protease (6LU7). This study uses a molecular docking method using 4 main applications, namely Autodock Tools, Autodock Vina, Biovia Discovery Studio 2020, and Open Babel GUI. The samples used were gingerol and zingiberol compounds in ginger plants downloaded from Pubchem. The data used in this study used Mendeley, Clinical Key, and PubMed database. The study showed that almost all of the amino acid residues in the gingerol compound acted on the 6LU7 active site, whereas the zingiberol did not. The results of the binding affinity of ginger compounds, both gingerol and zingiberol, do not exceed the binding affinity of remdesivir, a drug that is widely researched as a COVID-19 handling drug. In conclusion, gingerol and zingiberol compounds in ginger can’t be considered as COVID-19’s treatment.Keywords: molecular docking, gingerol, zingiberol Abstrak: COVID-19 merupakan sebuah penyakit yang baru.
