Effect of Ondansetron on Blood Pressure during Elective Cesarean Section under Spinal Anesthesia at Baghdad Teaching Hospital
Authors: Abdalrahman Mustafa Adnan , Abbas Hassan Mohammed , Salman Iyad Abbas 
Published: September 2021

Background: Hypotension is a very common consequence of the sympathetic vasomotor block caused by spinal anesthesia for caesarean section. Maternal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and dyspnea frequently accompany severe hypotension, and adverse effects on the fetus, including depressed Apgar scores and umbilical acidosis, have been correlated with severity and duration of hypotension.
Aim: To investigate the effect of Ondansetron use on the prevention of hypotension and the amount of vasopressor needed to control the hypotension after spinal anesthesia.
Methods: This is a prospective double blind, randomized trial carried out in Obstetric Operation room of Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical city, Iraq from November, 2018 to August, 2019. Total number of 128 women assessed for eligibility and only 87 were included and allocated into 2 groups. The Ondansetron group (45 women) received 6 mg Ondansetron IV e min before induction of spinal anesthesia. The Placebo group received 3 ml normal saline as placebo before induction. The number of rescue drugs (vasopressors, antiemetic, anti-shivering), vital signs and side effects were recorded each 3 minutes from baseline to 45th minute.
Results: The incidence of hypotension, nausea, vomiting and the need for vasopressors and metoclopramide were significantly lower in Ondansetron group than placebo group (p = 0.001, 0.02, 0.003, < 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). Shivering and the need of pethidine for treating this side effect was non significantly lower in ondansetron group than placebo group.
Conclusions: The preoperative administration of Ondansetron in cesarean section reduces the risk of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension, prevents the nausea and vomiting attacks and decreases the need to vasopressors and metoclopramide.
Keywords: Spinal anesthesia, caesarian section, ondansetron, hypotension

Leren exonereren: een update
In zijn arrest van 29 januari 2021 (Bart’s retail) lijkt de Hoge Raad af te wijken van de lijn die leek te zijn uitgezet in het arrest GTI/Zurich uit 2004. In dat als laatstgenoemde arrest overwoog de Hoge Raad, ten overvloede, dat bij overeenkomsten tussen professioneel dan wel commercieel handelende grote partijen in de regel extra terughoudendheid gepast is waar het gaat om het op grond van art. 6:248 lid 2 BW buiten toepassing laten van exoneratiebedingen. In de literatuur werd ervan uitgegaan dat deze regel zich uitstrekte tot overeenkomsten waarbij er sprake was van een gelijkwaardigheid tussen partijen. In de casus die ten grondslag lag aan het Hoge Raad arrest van 29 januari 2021, was dat niet het geval. Het betrof een overeenkomst tussen een grote franchiseorganisatie (die tevens optrad als verhuurder) en een kleine franchisenemer. De Hoge Raad lijkt te benadrukken dat ook dan de rechter tot extra terughoudend is gehouden, voor zover het het buiten spel zetten betreft van een tussen partijen overeengekomen exoneratie. De auteur plaatst dit arrest in context en vraagt zich af of een weging van de exoneratie over de boeg van artikel 6:233 onder a BW, tot hetzelfde resultaat zou hebben geleid.

Onredelijk bezwarende algemene voorwaarden in België – gidsfunctie voor Nederland?
In de Nederlandse rechtspraak worden algemene voorwaarden in B2B relaties zelden onredelijk bezwarend beoordeeld. Dit is deels het gevolg van de omstandigheid dat de zwarte en grijze lijsten uitsluitend B2C werken. In België is per 1 december 2020 een regeling over de inhoud van algemene voorwaarden in B2B relaties tot stand gekomen. In deze bijdrage wordt die regeling verkend en gekeken of Nederland van de Belgische wet kan leren.

Published: September 2021

Straipsnyje, vertinant asmens poreikius, susijusius su konkrečiais turizmo paslaugos prieigos reikalavimais, aplinka analizuojama universalaus dizaino aspektu: prieinamumas, aplinkos pritaikymas ir galimos kliūtys. Šio mokslinio straipsnio tikslas – įvertinti turizmo aplinkos prieinamumą asmenims, turintiems judėjimo negalią. Analizuojama mokslinė literatūra, apibūdinanti prieinamo turizmo ir universalaus dizaino sąvoką. Pateikiamas holistinis požiūris į turizmo paslaugų prieinamumo galimybes bei turizmo infrastruktūros pritaikomumą asmenims, turintiems specialiųjų poreikių, t. y. judėjimo negalią. Straipsnyje taip pat aptariami teisiniai aplinkos prieinamumo neįgaliesiems reguliavimo aspektai bei socialinės integracijos problemos. Empirinė straipsnio dalis remiasi aplinkos sąlygų, neįgaliųjų su judėjimo negalia poreikių patenkinimu, patirtimi ir galimų kliūčių identifikavimu. Pagal šias sritis straipsnyje analizuojami pagrindiniai turizmo pritaikymo neįgaliesiems infrastruktūriniai sektoriai Lietuvoje. Metodai: mokslinės literatūros analizė ir asmenų, turinčių judėjimo negalią, apklausa, kuria siekiama atskleisti turizmo aplinkos prieinamumą pačių neįgaliųjų požiūriu ir parengti gaires situacijai tobulinti. Tyrimas atskleidė, kad žmonės, turintys judėjimo negalią, retai lankosi turistinėse vietose ir beveik niekada nesinaudoja turizmo teikiamomis paslaugomis, nes Lietuvoje apgyvendinimo, maitinimo įstaigos, kelionių organizavimo įmonės, kultūros įstaigos, viešasis transportas, jų teigimu, yra prieinami tik iš dalies. Išanalizavus rodiklius išskiriama silpniausia objektų pasiekiamumo sritis – prie pastatų nėra tinkamai pritaikyto panduso ir automatiškai atsidarančių durų.

Authors: Brraich Onkar Singh , Kaur Navpreet , Hundal Swarndeep Singh 
Published: September 2021

Fish production and fish processing waste have straight connection. In India, the waste produced during the processing of fish is predicted to be approximate 3.6 million metric tonnes, 48 per cent of the total body weight of Indian and exotic major carps is thrown away as waste (non-edible ). The present research, it was conducted to compare the total lipid content (TLC) and fatty acid composition from the liver of captured and cultured fish, Labeo rohita (Hamilton) having weight more than 500 gram during different months as well as to evaluate its nutritional quality. Maximum total lipid content (33.33±0.14%) was found in the liver of cultured fish in May month, while the minimum (15.26±0.24%) was in the liver of captured fish in the month of January. During the study, total lipid content was found to be considerably elevated in cultured than captured Fish, Labeo rohita (Hamilton). The amount of three major groups of fatty acids namely polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids was found to be maximum in captured fish during the month of March 97.19±0.96%, 61.30±0.56% and 95.39±0.31% month of April respectively. Total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids were observed to be highest (21.95±8.05%) in the waste of liver in cultured fish during the month of March. Hence, it is concluded that the processing waste (liver) of the captured and cultured, Labeo rohita (Hamilton) is a prosperous resource of the essential fatty acids i.e. PUFAs and total lipids. Further, it is observed that captured species are rich in fatty acid composition as compared to cultured species. Food industries can manufacture by-products from these high nutritional value contents of waste for human utilization. EPA and DHA also reduce the risk of various life threatening diseases.

Published: September 2021

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 infection in humans first reported in Wuhan (China) which has spread around the world and having a significant impact on global health and mental health. It has caused widespread psychosocial and behavioural changes as a result of mass hysteria, economic burden, and financial losses, in addition to its high infectivity and the increased mortality rates.
Method: Published articles regarding to mental health related to the COVID-19 outbreak and other previous global infections have been considered and reviewed.
Comments: The pervasive fear of COVID-19, named as "coronaphobia," has resulted with a slew of psychiatric manifestations in people from all walks of life. It has affected people from all the point of life, resulting in a variety of psychiatric issues such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fear and uncertainty, panic attacks, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, xenophobia, and racism. Collective concerns have an impact on daily behaviours, the economy, prevention strategies, and decision-making by policymakers, health organisations, and medical centres, which can weaken COVID-19 control strategies and lead to increased morbidity and mental health needs on a global level.

The recent pandemic due to Corona virus more popularly known as COVID 19 has reassessed the usefulness of historic convalescent plasma transfusion. (CPT) The CPT is one of the promising therapies in the current pandemic situation. This review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of CPT therapy in COVID 19 patients based on the publications reported till date. PubMed, EMBASE and Medline databases were screened up to 30 April 2021. All the records were screened as per the protocol eligibility criteria.
The main features of the studies reviewed were, convalescent plasma can reduce mortality in severely ill patients, an increase in neutralizing antibodies titre and disappearance of SARS CoV 2 RNA was observed in all the patients on CPT therapy and over all a beneficial effect on clinical symptoms after administration of CP.
Based on the review findings and the limited scientific data, CPT therapy in COVID 19 patients appear safe, clinically effective and reduces mortality. However, the need of a multicentre clinical trials, unequivocal proof of efficacy, effectiveness and the need for the standardisation of the CPT needs to be addressed immediately for the full utilisation of potential of CPT.

Creating an Optimal Structure of the Diet to Increase the Productivity of Calves in Calves of Dairy Breeds
Authors: Lemiasheuski Viktar O. , Ostrenko Konstantin S. , Ovcharova Anastasia N. 
Published: September 2021

The diet of dairy bulls contains little high-quality protein. This primarily affects the main indicators of feed growth and conversion. Poor-quality protein in the diet leads to excessive formation of ammonia in the rumen. Increased concentrations of ammonia, does not participate in the synthesis of microbial protein and is excreted in the urine, which is an energy-consuming process and negatively affects the gains. Ammonia has a toxic effect, when an excessive amount of it enters the bloodstream, where it causes hyperamonymy, and creates an additional load on the liver.
Aims: The aim of the study is to create an optimal structure of the diet, in which the protein will be completely utilized by the rumen microbiota and animal protein will be reproduced on its basis to create the growth potential of fattening bulls. The development of this diet will allow creating a technology for fattening steers for meat that is economically profitable with a high proportion of healthy animals with high productivity.
Methodology: The studies were conducted on calves of the Kholmogorsky breed raised in the VNIIFBIP vivarium, aged from 1.5 months to 14 months. At the age of 1.5 months, the animals were intensively accustomed to the introduction of concentrates and coarse feeds. Feeding with a milk substitute was carried out up to the age of 70 days with free access to mixed feed and hay.
Results: During the study, the main factors responsible for the metabolic processes in bull calves were identified. The factors of digestibility in the rumen were studied. Physiological and biochemical parameters were established to assess the reduction of the risks of hyperammonemia. The use of concentrated feed against the background of strict proportional administration together with coarse feed with intensive cultivation and fattening of dairy bulls and the normal course of enzymatic processes in the rumen and throughout the body allows you to achieve an average daily increase of up to 1420 g by 14 months of age and reduce feed conversion.
Conclusion: The results obtained make it possible to increase the productivity of fattening steers in regions with a large number of dairy cattle and the availability of concentrated feed.

Published: December 2024

AbstractCommunity resilience increases collective capacity to enact change and restore communities following trauma. Using the Beyond the Bridge Project as a case study following the Morandi Bridge Collapse, we conducted 10 consultations with the Project Lead Group. We employed a stakeholder analysis, and ecological maps performed using the Communities Advancing Resilience Toolkit methodology. The findings highlight the involvement and categorization of stakeholders based on their post‐trauma intervention attitudes. The ecological maps facilitated communication and community competence between different stakeholder groups, which are key aspects of community resilience. We suggest that this methodology is promising for future research in trauma‐affected communities.

ABSTRACTNaga chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) have garnered significant attention due to the plant's possible health benefits and variety of phytochemical components. Utilizing cutting‐edge analytical techniques such as gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and high‐performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) in conjunction with bioautography, this study conducts a thorough phytochemical profiling and biological activity assessment of the Naga chilli plant. An in silico docking study was performed for all the bioactive compounds identified through GC‐MS against dihydrofolate reductase, a critical enzyme for bacterial survival. Many important components were identified and quantified with the help of subsequent GC‐MS and HPTLC analysis. Among them, capsaicinoids were found to be the most prevalent. GC‐MS results showed nonadecane (21.28%), 1‐dimethyl(phenyl)silyloxypentane (14.53%), capsaicin (13.55%) and 2‐pentanone, 4‐hydroxy‐4‐methyl‐ (11.42%) were the most prevalent. HPTLC report showed capsaicin was 0.833 mg/g of fresh weight of Naga chilli. This study showed good docking scores for some of the constituents, particularly capsaicin, indicating that this plant is a good candidate for antimicrobial activity. This activity of the extract confirms the docking results, which needs to be in focus for further antimicrobial drug development.
The Role of Values and Attitude in Food Waste Reduction: Exploring Ideal Sustainable Business Strategies

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTFood waste concerns are growing globally. Previous studies identified several strategies to reduce food waste. However, how individuals' values guide them towards food waste has not been adequately explored. This study examines the role of individual values and attitudinal mechanisms on food waste reduction behaviors. We adopt the value–attitude–behavior (VAB) theory as a theoretical underpinning to conceptualize a research model. Specifically, the study utilized altruistic and biospheric values as value dimensions, anticipated guilt and personal responsibility as attitudinal mechanisms, willingness to pay for food waste recycling, and food waste segregation as the outcome behavioral constructs. A survey approach is used to collect data from US household consumers. Findings indicate that altruistic values evoke anticipated guilt and personal responsibility, whereas biospheric values shape anticipated guilt. The anticipated guilt and personal responsibility determine consumers' willingness to pay for food waste recycling and segregation of food waste. Additionally, mediating roles of anticipated guilt and personal responsibility were also confirmed. Furthermore, the moderating role of long‐term orientation as a critical contingency that affects VAB linkages has been empirically substantiated. The study's findings contribute to the literature on food waste and provide empirical justification for how values shape attitudes that determine food waste reduction behaviors. Policymakers should design instruments to foster food waste reduction behaviors based on the effectuality of values and attitudes unraveled by this research.
Study of a Dual‐Loop Digital Control System for High‐Power Input‐Parallel Output‐Series Phase‐Shifted Full‐Bridge Converters Based on Pole Configuration
Authors: Yu Zhipeng , Zhao Yang 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTDigital control is characterized by mature analysis technology and easy implementation and is widely used in high‐power input‐parallel‐output series (IPOS) phase‐shifted full‐bridge (PSFB) converters. However, in modern industrial applications, most digital controllers are still designed with traditional technologies, such as PID control. Some characteristics of this control technology, such as control time delay and approximate design process, make the results fail to achieve the expected performance. At the same time, this digital control needs to be tested in the process of use, and the process is cumbersome and difficult to achieve. Based on the existing problems, this paper deduces a discrete state space model from the application of the IPOS‐PSFB converter, focusing on the characteristics of control delay. At the same time, this paper puts forward a double‐loop control strategy to ensure the accuracy of controller design. Among them, the current and voltage loop designs are independent. The current loop and voltage loop adopts two controllers, namely, the proportional controller and PI plus state feedback controller, and the parameters of the voltage loop controller are accurately calculated according to overshoot and bandwidth index. Finally, the IPOS‐PSFB converter is simulated and analyzed by MATLAB/Simulink software, and the controller's steady‐state performance and anti‐interference are analyzed.
