Background Quarantine is one of the best measures to prevent the community spread of any infectious diseases. The study focused on the psychosocial impacts of quarantine among the survivors of the highly fatal viral disease, Nipah virus infection (NiV), and their family members. Objective of the study was to examine the psychosocial impact of quarantine on NiV survivors and families being quarantined because of exposure to NiV infection. Methods We used qualitative in-depth interviews, Focus group discussions and Narratives of a participant observer to explore the psychosocial impacts of Quarantine during the NiV outbreak. We identified 2 major themes for doing the in-depth interview and focus group discussions: (i) quarantine experience, (ii) its impact on the family and social living and subject’s working environment. Results The identified major themes are the following, Stroke on the community structure, public mistrust, psychosocial sequelae experienced by the grass root level health care workers, stigma in the community and social percussions. Conclusions Quarantine measures were effective when controlling an infectious disease spread, but it imparts many long lasting consequences on the psychological and social wellbeing of the individual. Better understanding these consequences will help to plan interventions incorporating this knowledge in future outbreaks of similar types.

Background Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan by area, and the least developed. It suffers from several political, tribal and border conflicts. The distances to health facilities for the catchment population are long with limited accessibility. Immunization is one of the most cost-effective interventions to prevent deaths from vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs), especially in children. While Pakistan has an overall routine immunization coverage of 66 per cent for fully immunized children (FIC), coverage in the province of Balochistan is much lower at 29 per cent. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of introducing mHealth intervention using an artificial intelligence (AI) platform based on SMS (short-message service) and Interactive Voice Response (IVRs) to remind and persuade parents to get their children vaccinated. Methods We employed a mixed study design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Baseline data were collected from 1,600 eligible mothers/parents within the catchment areas of 75 basic health units (BHUs) in Quetta (provincial capital of Balochistan province), and the automated platform was instituted with SMS and IVRs from EPI (Expanded Programme on Immunization) Quetta. Daily reminders and IVRs were sent to the cell numbers in the database/records. Responses were noted on the AI platform. After a period of about two months, an end line survey of 1,203 participants was undertaken with a loss of 397 (25%) participants due to seasonal migration to warmer cities in Sindh province. For the qualitative part, three key informant interviews (KII) were conducted; two KIIs with Lady Health Supervisors and one KII with the WHO staff responsible for routine immunization. There were also three focus group discussions (FGDs). Results We found that the intervention was feasible as well as acceptable both at the community and programme management levels. The baseline indicators of immunization coverage improved significantly on end line survey (95% confidence interval, CI = 0.208-0.269; P<0.001). Conclusions Our study demonstrates the potential for mHealth and AI to improve childhood immunization and addresses equity in the least developed areas of this country. The replication of the strategy in subnational immunization programmes could decrease morbidity and mortality due to VPDs.

Published: October 2021

THE PURPOSE. To carry out a comparative analysis of the spectra of gas-dynamic characteristics of flows in the intake systems of piston engines with and without turbocharging, to assess the degree of influence of the turbocharger on the flow structure in such systems, and also to propose a method for the gas-dynamic improvement of processes in the system under consideration. METHODS. Due to the complexity of the object of research, an experimental approach was taken as a basis. The experiments were carried out on a single-cylinder piston engine model, which could be equipped with a turbocharger. A system for collecting and processing experimental data based on an analog-to-digital converter was used in the study. Data on changes in local values of velocity and static pressure of pulsating flows in the intake system during the engine's operating cycle were obtained using a constant temperature hot-wire anemometer and a fast-acting pressure sensor. Spectral analysis of functions of flow velocity and pressure versus time was carried out on the basis of the fast Fourier transform algorithm.RESULTS. The article presents a comparative analysis of the spectra of the amplitudes of the velocity and pressure pulsations in the intake system of an engine with and without turbocharging. Also proposed is a method for stabilizing the pulsating flow in the intake system by installing a leveling grid in the outlet channel of the turbocharger compressor. CONCLUSION. It is shown that the installation of a turbocharger leads to a significant change in the structure of gas flows in the intake system of the engine. It has been established that the presence of a leveling grid in the intake system of a turbocharged piston engine leads to a decrease in the low-frequency amplitudes of the flow velocity and pressure pulsations up to 30%. It is shown that the probability of failure-free operation of an automobile engine (cylinder diameter – 82 mm, piston stroke – 71 mm) increases by almost 1% when a leveling grille is used in the intake system.

Based on the results of the study of the elements of the electrical system, the operability and quality of their functioning are determined by the example of the use of LED filament lamps for lighting during their continuous operation at the maximum permissible ambient temperature equal to 50 °С.THE PURPOSE. The relevance of this work is determined by the lack of information about the operability and quality of functioning of filament LED lamps during their continuous operation in conditions of elevated ambient temperature, taking place in boiler-turbine shops of thermal power plants, foundries of factories, bakeries of bakeries, in the tunnels of coal mines and divisions of other enterprises. It is established that the working life of the Gauss LED filament lamps with a power of 10 W, containing 4 filaments, is 70-75 days, and with 8 filaments only 22-24 days. Degradation of filament lamps with 8 filaments at the maximum permissible ambient temperature of 50 °С. occurs at a rate of 0.45-0.50 % per day. It is shown that a filament LED lamp with 4 filaments, if it is operated for 4.5 hours a day in conditions of elevated ambient temperature, can work for almost more than one year. METHODS. The resource of filament and typical LED lamps of different power is considered in comparative terms when they are operated at a relatively high ambient temperature.RESULTS. It is established that a 10 W filament LED lamp with 4 filaments has an energy resource, as well as a high-quality standard LED lamp. At the same time, the temperature of its body is no more than 40 °С, which is almost 2 times less. By increasing the distance between the filaments due to the use of a smaller number of filaments, it is possible to increase the power supply by 2 times and the corresponding luminous flux by 1.5 times. CONCLUSION. In preliminary experiments with a filament lamp of the new design of the Diall model, it was found that the use of longer filaments (45 mm) in it, instead of the previously used ones (30 mm), allows to increase the quality of their functioning by about 4 times when they are operated under the same ambient temperature conditions.
If, then, therefore? Neoplatonic Exegetical Logic between the Categorical and the Hypothetical
Authors: Martijn Marije 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In late antiquity, logic developed into what Ebbesen calls the LAS, the Late Ancient Standard. This paper discusses the Neoplatonic use of LAS, as informed by epistemological and metaphysical concerns. It demonstrates this through an analysis of the late ancient debate about hypothetical and categorical logic as manifest in the practice of syllogizing Platonic dialogues. After an introduction of the Middle Platonist view on Platonic syllogistic as present in Alcinous, this paper presents an overview of its application in the syllogizing practice of Proclus and others. That overview shows that the two types were considered two sides of the same coin, to be used for the appropriate occasions, and both relying on the methods of dialectic as revealing the structure of knowledge and reality. Pragmatics, dialectic, and didactic choices determine which type or combination is selected in syllogizing Plato. So even though there is no specific Neoplatonic logic, there is a specific Neoplatonic use of LAS.

Authors: Kafle B. , Bagale Y. 
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Caring for a person with mental disorder is a challenge for the caregivers. Little is known about the ways in which families cope while caring for a relative with mental illness in developing countries. This study has tried investigating the family burden and coping behaviour among the family caregivers of the people with mental illness.
Material And Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Devdaha Medical College during the period of July 2019-December 2019. The research was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Institutional Review Board of Devdaha Medical College. The protocol approval number is 028/2019. Convenient sampling method was used. Data analysis was done in SPSS (Version 23, SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Results were presented as frequencies and percentages where required.
Results: Moderate Burden was experienced by 72% of the caregivers while the rest 28% experienced severe burden. People whose spouses were mentally ill had severe burden. Males coped with higher degree of problem and emotional focused coping strategy than females. Males felt more burden in comparison to the females and burden was found to be significantly higher among the caregivers who were taking care of their mentally ill spouses.
Conclusion: Caregiving is physically and psychologically demanding as it requires an enormous physical and emotional commitment as well as some basic skills. Teaching skills in the form of problem solving and communication are needed to promote the coping abilities and lessen the burden of caregivers.

Published: October 2021

Abstract

The government has carried out overcoming the problem of unemployment by launching the entrepreneurial movement. However, strengthening the movement by incorporating it into the learning curriculum is less effective because the educational target is only focused on the cognitive domain in the form of elaborating the theory of entrepreneurship without being followed by concrete steps. The translation of theory into the real world needs to be done quite well. Entrepreneurship training will be able to describe knowledge in the theoretical realm more focused on the practical realm. Many potential creative ideas to run a business have not been explored optimally. Among the people of Kaling Village, guidance activities are directed towards positive religious activities. This type of coaching directs participants to fill their spare time between work and school to learn religious concepts and theories in several aspects. The growth of an entrepreneurial spirit is also able to provide benefits to the community. These benefits can be in the form of financial and non-financial benefits. The financial benefits of entrepreneurship can be in the form of economic independence obtained in running a business. While the non-financial benefits are in the form of mental growth that is tough and never gives up in dealing with life's problems. Entrepreneurship training for the community, especially the younger generation, to foster an entrepreneurial spirit and explore existing potential. By holding entrepreneurship training, it is hoped that it will be able to create new businesses and have a positive effect on the mental development of the younger generation's independence. This training is aimed at the younger generation being assisted by the Karang Taruna Kaling Village

Published: October 2021

Background: Secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (sFRP2) plays an important role in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs); However, its relevance with cardiometabolic diseases remains to be elucidated. We aimed to determine the serum levels of sFRP2 in patients at different stages of heart failure (HF) with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and assess the correlation between circulating sFRP2 levels and cardiometabolic risk factors.Methods: In this study, serum samples from 277 patients visiting Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University were collected. These patients were clinically diagnosed and categorized as five groups, including the control group, pre-clinical HF group, pre-clinical HF+T2DM group, HF group and HF+T2DM group. Serum sFRP2 levels were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests and the clinical characteristics of each patient were recorded. Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis were conducted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to screen risk factors for HF in patients with CVDs.Results: Serum sFRP2 levels were significantly lower in the HF+T2DM group compared with the other four groups. Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that sFRP2 was negatively correlated with parameters including patients' age, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), cardiac troponin T (cTNT), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), left atrial dimension (LAD) and left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW), and positively correlated with hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, in multiple regression analysis, significant associations with ln(sFRP2) were observed only in FPG, hs-CRP and LAD. Higher serum sFRP2 was significantly linked to lower odds of HF in patients with CVDs.Conclusion: sFRP2 progressively decreased when glucose homeostasis and cardiac function deteriorated. sFRP2 acted as a risk factor for HF in patients with CVDs, especially in those with concomitant T2DM.

Introduction: Invasive coronary function testing (CFT) has become the recommended diagnostic tool to assess the various endotypes of coronary vasomotor dysfunction in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA), which has implications for therapy and prognosis. Although the expanding performance of CFT is leading to increased knowledge of coronary vasomotor dysfunction, little is known about sex-related differences in the results of comprehensive CFT.Methods: We conducted a prospective study of all consecutive patients with ANOCA that underwent clinically indicated CFT in a tertiary interventional from February 2019 to February 2021. CFT consisted of acetylcholine testing to diagnose epicardial or microvascular spasm, and adenosine testing to diagnose CMD. CMD was defined as an index of microvascular resistance (IMR) ≥ 25 and/or coronary flow reserve (CFR) &lt; 2.0.Results: In total, 228 women and 38 men underwent CFT. No differences in traditional risk factors were seen, but women had a higher prevalence of migraine (45 vs. 14%, p = 0.001). Men more often had a history of percutaneous coronary intervention (12 vs. 49%, p = 0.001). We found no difference in clinical presentation. Coronary vasomotor dysfunction was present in 95% of men and 88% of women (p = 0.25), but males show more often epicardial spasm and less microvascular spasm than women (63 vs. 42% and 29 vs. 40% respectively, p = 0.039). Impaired CFR was more prevalent among females (6 vs 20%, p = 0.033). IMR [median of 23 (15–32) vs. 19 (13–25), p = 0.08] did not differ between the sexes.Conclusion: Men undergoing CFT show a comparable prevalence of coronary vascular dysfunction as women. However, men have a higher prevalence of epicardial spasm and a lower prevalence of microvascular spasm compared with women. An impaired CFR was more often present in women, with an equally impairment of IMR.
