Published: October 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had monumental effects on the mental health of populations worldwide. Previous research indicated that programs and interventions using social networks can play a positive role in promoting mental health. Nevertheless, current evidence is largely derived from high-income regions, reflecting an urgent need for more studies in low- and middle-income settings.Objectives: This paper aims to (a) describe the potential value of a hybrid health carnival in promoting mental health and increasing access to screening services; (b) assess the level of community engagement with the digital platform.Methods: A mental health carnival was conducted with the theme of “Mind Your Mental Health” (Cakna Kesihatan Mental) in conjunction with the World Mental Health Day in Malaysia. This was a hybrid carnival that combined elements of face-to-face interactions and virtual learning. Free online therapy sessions were offered to high-risk groups identified during the screening process. Social media metrics were utilized to report the levels of community engagement and participants completed pre-and post-assessments to measure the program's impact on their knowledge.Results: The carnival was attended by 515 participants (78.8% virtual participants). Social media metrics reported more than 5,585 reaches on Facebook for all the activities held throughout the event. Results from pre-and post-assessments showed significant improvement in the mean knowledge scores (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: This digital approach will continue to evolve by releasing new features and tools as a new frontier for high-risk populations and all individuals seeking mental health support and treatment.

Цервікальні ураження твердих тканин зубів часто зустрічаються під час практичної діяльності лікарів-стоматологів.Метою даного дослідження було вивчити пошире-ність цервікальних уражень твердих тканин зубів у хворих на генералізований пародонтит, проаналізу-вати їх розподіл відповідно до гендерної приналежно-сті та віку, функціональної приналежності зубів вер-хньої та нижньої щелеп.Матеріали та методи дослідження. У дослідженні взяло участь 133 пацієнтів з генералізованим пародо-нтитом, яким було проведено комплексне обстежен-ня на наявність цервікальних уражень твердих тка-нин зубів: абфракцій, ерозій, карієсу кореня та комбі-нованих уражень. Кожний учасник заповнював анке-ту опитувальник щодо впливу потенційних етіологіч-них факторів. Залежно від гендерної приналежності пацієнти були розподілені на групи жінок та чолові-ків, залежно від віку – на групи двадцятирічних, три-дцятирічних, сорокарічних та п’ятдесятирічних.Результати дослідження показали, що поширеність цервікальних уражень твердих тканин зубів у паціє-нтів з генералізованим пародонтитом становила 67,67 %. Загальна поширеність абфракцій склала 59,40 %, комбінованих уражень – 14,29 %, ерозій – 1,50 %, карієсу кореня – 12,78 %. Поєднані ураження зустрічались у 20,30 % обстежуваних. З віком поши-реність цервікальних уражень збільшується: у два-дцятирічних абфракції були присутні у 10,53 % об-стежуваних, у тридцятирічних та сорокарічних – у 59,52 %, у п’ятдесятирічних – у 90,00 %. Порівняль-ний аналіз поширеності цервікальних уражень в за-лежності від статі продемонстрував вірогідно вищі показники ураження карієсом у жінок (20,00 %) порі-вняно з чоловіками (4,76 %) (p=0,009). Не виявлено достовірної різниці поширеності абфракцій та ерозій між особами чоловічої та жіночої статі. Найвища поширеність абфракцій та комбінованих уражень була зафіксована на премолярах нижньої щелепи, ка-рієсу кореня – на бічних різцях верхньої щелепи та пе-рших молярах нижньої щелепи, ерозій – на іклах, молярах та премолярах верхньої і нижньої щелеп.Висновок. Висока поширеність цервікальних уражень твердих тканин зубів у хворих на генералізований па-родонтит зумовлює необхідність впровадження протоколу профілактики карієсу кореня та некаріоз-них уражень твердих тканин зубів, який буде не-від’ємним компонентом підтримувального пародон-тологічного лікування.
Metode Perhitungan Awal Bulan Kamariah Uzal Syahruna dalam Kitab Tasḥīl al-Mithāl wa al-Aqwāl Li ‘Amal al-Hilāl

Published: October 2021

Abstract: This study aims to determine the method of ḥisāb early in the lunar month in the book Tasḥīl al-Mithāl by Uzal Syahruna and assess its advantages and disadvantages compared to the same process in other books. It is undeniable that the dichotomization between the existence of classical ḥisāb books and contemporary ḥisāb books with the beginning to fade in people's belief in the results occurred in Falak Science. Through literature study and interviews, this paper finds that the method of determining the beginning of the lunar month in the book falls into the ḥisāb ḥaqīqī bi taḥqīq category. The theory and calculation system are based on modern astronomical formulas (spherical trigonometry), using calculators and computational programs. The advantage of this book is that it establishes its procedures on current astronomical formulas, the output of ḥisāb is not much different from other ḥaqīqī bi taḥqīq books. Simultaneously, the weakness is that it still uses unlimited astronomical data as a basis. Some have not been corrected, especially for determining irtifā 'al-hilāl and hilāl mar'i corrections.

Published: October 2021

Abstract: This paper discus the discourse of religious harmony in Indonesia by looking into the role played by PKUB/FKUB, a state-sponsored body focused on maintaining religious harmony, in the context of interreligious dialogue agenda in Indonesia. By looking into its trajectory and legal standing, this paper hypothesizes that there are some limits within the PKUB/FKUB in addressing the spirit and practice of interreligious dialogue to the Indonesian public due to the preference of religious harmony rather than interreligious dialogue. This paper then wants to explore the preference of religious harmony by employing Godly-Nationalism/Productive Intolerance concept. The data of this paper is collected by library research methodology. Finally, this paper suggests that despite the discourse of religious harmony requires the religious community to engage in the dialogue, there is a different direction and objective to which the dialogue would lead. While the dialogue in the context of religious harmony would be directed to maintaining harmony itself, the interreligious dialogue as suggested by several scholars requires religious people to learn from others to change and grow together.
Keywords: Interreligious Dialogue, Religious Harmony, PKUB, FKUB, Godly- Nationalism.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Conjunctivitis is one of the most common eye disorders in the worldwide. The incidence of conjunctivitis in Indonesia reached 73% of the population. Conjunctivitis cases in Yogyakarta City have increased from year to year.

AIM: This study purposed to identify the social-environmental risk factors that influence the incidence of conjunctivitis in Yogyakarta.

METHODS: Design study was an observational analytic method with a case–control research design. The population study was all the patients visited at the Eye Clinic of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital and private hospital Yogyakarta in 2019. The total sample is 204 respondents who were divided into case and control. One hundred and four respondents were in a case while 100 were controlled. The case was a conjunctivitis patient treated at the Eye Clinic of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital and private hospital Yogyakarta in 2019, while the control was a non-conjunctivitis patient who went to the same two hospitals as the case respondent. Data were collected by direct interviews using a structured questionnaire covering the respondents’ demographics and social-environmental conditions. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 univariate and bivariate using Chi-square.

RESULTS: The results of the bivariate analysis showed that age, the distance between the house and the river, the distance between the place and the temporary garbage dump, contacted from a close friend, the windows of the house were always opened every day as risk factors affecting the incidence of conjunctivitis.

CONCLUSION: The study’s decision is the social-environmental as a risk factor for conjunctivitis in Yogyakarta.

Published: October 2021

The demand for food production brings with it the increase of effluent generation, which represents a great problem for slaughterhouses, since effluents contain higher organic load, requiring adequate treatment to decrease environmental impacts. This study examines an alternative to solve this problem: the application of electrocoagulation in the treatment of anaerobic slaughterhouse and packing plant effluents, as this promising technique is both compact and robust. The removal of color, COD and turbidity was analyzed, and the operational cost was calculated. To optimize the process, the CCRD (central composite rotatable design) methodology was used with two independent variables: electric current density and electrolysis time, obtaining a complete factorial of 2² with 4 axial points and 4 repetitions at the central point. The most expressive removals were: 87%, 80% and 76% for color, COD and turbidity, respectively, the lower operational cost obtained was 0.12 US$.m-3. The statistical analysis allowed obtaining valid mathematical models for color removal and cost and, through the analysis of desirability, it was found that for current density of 8 mA.cm-2 and time of 20 minutes it is possible to maximize color removal (84%) and minimize the cost (0.21 US$.m-3).
Keywords: color, cost, COD, turbidity.

Published: October 2021

Precise, accurate knowledge of percolation is key to reliable determination of soil water balance and a crop’s water-use efficiency. This work evaluated an approach to estimate the amount of water percolated in the root zone using soil water content (SWC) data measured at different time intervals. The approach was based on the difference of soil water content within and below the effective root zone of banana plants at different time intervals. A drainage lysimeter was used to compare the measured and estimated percolation data. The approach was then used in a banana orchard under drip and micro sprinkler irrigation, with and without the use of mulch. The soil water storage in the banana’s root zone was evaluated within a two-dimensional soil profile with time domain reflectometry (TDR). Mean percolation measured in the lysimeters did not differ from the approach’s estimates using intervals between SWC readings equal to or longer than 6 h from the end of an irrigation event. Percolation estimates under drip and micro sprinkler irrigation in the field, with and without mulch, were consistent with those measured in the lysimeters, considering the 6-h interval of SWC measurements. Percolation was greater under the drip irrigation system with mulch. The amount of water percolated was not influenced by the presence of mulch under the micro sprinkler system.
Keywords: localized irrigation, soil water balance, soil water content sensor.
Interface between biomedical and traditional systems of treatment and care among HIV positive fisher folk in two fishing communities on Lake Victoria, Uganda
Authors: Tumwine Christopher , Aggleton Peter , Bell Stephen 
Published: October 2021

Background: Fisherfolk have been identified as a key population in the HIV response in Uganda due to high HIV preva- lence and low engagement in HIV services. While studies have examined lifestyles and risk, much remains to be understood about help and health seeking experiences, including the combined use of biomedical and traditional health care.
Objective: To examine the use of biomedical and traditional health care in two fishing communities around Lake Victoria in Uganda.
Methods: Exploratory, in-depth qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with 42 HIV positive fisherfolk.
Results: Prior to HIV diagnosis, participants who described becoming ill sought different forms of help including biomedical treatment prescribed by health workers or self-prescribed; biomedical and herbal medicines together; herbal medicines only; or no form of treatment. Following HIV diagnosis, the majority of participants used ART exclusively, while a smaller number used both ART and traditional care strategies, or reported times when they used alternative therapies instead of ART. Prior to HIV diagnosis, fisherfolk’s health care seeking practices inhibited engagement with HIV testing and access to biomedical HIV treatment and care. After HIV diagnosis, most resorted only to using ART.
Conclusion: Study findings provide insight into how fisherfolk’s use of biomedical and traditional care prior to diagnosis influences subsequent engagement with HIV treatment. Efforts are needed to reach fisherfolk through everyday health seeking networks to ensure HIV is diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
Keywords: HIV care; fisherfolk; HIV; Uganda; traditional healers; anti-retroviral therapy.

Authors: Wango Gift-Noelle , Agot Kawango , Ogolla Henry , Ochillo Marylyn , Ohaga Spala , Thirumurthy Harsha 
Published: October 2021

Background: Adolescent girls (AG) in sub-Saharan Africa are at elevated risk of acquiring HIV, yet few know the HIV status of their sexual partners. Interventions to promote testing among partners are urgently needed.
Objectives: To explore AG’s perceived ability to safely distribute HIV self-tests to their partners, if partners would self-test, and how to minimize partner violence.
Methods: We recruited HIV-negative AG ages 15-19 years with a partner of unknown HIV status or who tested negative >6 months previously. Using mixed-methods for data collection and regression and inductive thematic analysis for quantitative and qualitative analysis, respectively, we determined factors associated with the study objectives.
Results: We enrolled 101 AG, median age 17.3 years, sexual debut 15-16 years, and 54.5% reported ≥2 lifetime partners. Most participants (95.0%) would offer self-tests to their partners and 95.1% reported high-to-moderate chance their part- ner would self-test. No participant attribute was associated with perceived ability to offer self-test or likelihood of partner testing. To avoid violence, AG recommended politeness, indirect approach, voluntariness, and highlighting advantages of self-testing.
Conclusions: AG believe they can safely distribute self-tests to their partners, and most partners would self-test, expanding utility of HIV self-tests to include partners of AG.
Keywords: HIV self-testing; partner testing; couples testing; adolescent girls; Kenya.

Background/aim: The present study aimed to create a decision tree for the identification of clinical, laboratory and radio- logical data of individuals with COVID-19 diagnosis or suspicion of Covid-19 in the Intensive Care Units of a Training and Research Hospital of the Ministry of Health on the European side of the city of Istanbul.
Materials and methods: The present study, which had a retrospective and sectional design, covered all the 97 patients treated with Covid-19 diagnosis or suspicion of COVID-19 in the intensive care unit between 12 March and 30 April 2020. In all cases who had symptoms admitted to the COVID-19 clinic, nasal swab samples were taken and thoracic CT was per- formed when considered necessary by the physician, radiological findings were interpreted, clinical and laboratory data were included to create the decision tree.
Results: A total of 61 (21 women, 40 men) of the cases included in the study died, and 36 were discharged with a cure from the intensive care process. By using the decision tree algorithm created in this study, dead cases will be predicted at a rate of 95%, and those who survive will be predicted at a rate of 81%. The overall accuracy rate of the model was found at 90%.
Conclusions: There were no differences in terms of gender between dead and live patients. Those who died were older, had lower MON, MPV, and had higher D-Dimer values than those who survived.
Keywords: Survival algorithm; COVID-19 intensive care patients; CRT method.

Background: The global pandemic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is reported to be potentially severe in patients with morbid conditions. One common reported comorbidities is diabetes. We aimed in this study to precise the clinical characteristics and outcomes in a series of congolese diabetic patients affected by COVID-19 infection.
Patients and methods: We retrospectely studied from 256 COVID-19 patients, a cohort of 30 persons with previously known diabetes. The glycaemia controls have been obtained by plasma glucose assay. All patients have been tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR method.
Results: The COVID-19 diabetic patients represented 11,7% of all COVID-19 patients with confidence interval of 95% [7,77-15,65]. Older individuals and male sex were predominent. Dyspnea and sauration of oxygen < 90 were significatives and added risk factors were noted in 63.3% of patients, particulary hyperglycaemia with hypertension or obesity. The mortality rate at the percentage of 36.7% was more prevalent in patients with added comorbidities (30%) versus without comorbidities (6.7%).
Conclusion: Congolese COVID-19 diabetic patients of male sex and older age exhibiting arterial hypertension and obesity are the most exposed to severe COVID-19 and increasead mortality rate.
