Authors: Abramov A. A. , Lakomkin V. L. , Prosvirnin A. V. , Kapelko V. I. 
Published: April 2019

The Aimof the study was a detailed investigation of pressure volume-loop (PV-loop) curves in the rat heart during development of doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.Materials and methods. Cardiomyopathy in rats has been developed after 4 weeks doxorubicin administration (2 mg / kg weekly).Results. Echocardiographic study of rats in 8 weeks from onset of doxorubicin administration showed preponderance of systolic dysfunction (67 %) with decrease of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) by 30 %. Simultaneous registration of LV pressure and volume showed that diastolic LV volume was preserved in doxorubicin-treated rats due to considerable lengthening of the diastole, the heart rate was reduced by 22 %. These hearts also showed slowing of relaxation, reduced maximal rate of pressure development and stroke work, as well as significant reduction in peripheral arterial resistance. Diastolic dysfunction differed from the systolic one by normal systolic EF and preserved LV contractility index as well as lower diastolic LV pressure throughout the diastole.Conclusions. Based on these data, four compensatory mechanisms associated with cardiomyopathy were distinguished - 1) slowing of myocardial relaxation, prolonging myofibrillar active state, 2) reduction of peripheral arterial resistance for easier LV ejection, 3) heart rate reduction, prolonging diastolic pause and thus facilitating better LV filling and 4) increased pressure in the small circle, also contributing to the LV rapid filling.

Authors: Lera M. , K. Tachtsoglou , Ch. Iliadis , A. Frantzana , L. Kourkouta 
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Mobbing is defined as the use of a systematic and sustained attack (bullying) against a predetermined victim among colleagues or between a top-tier employee and a bottom-tier one in the hierarchy in order to induce him to quit his job.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to delve into mobbing in the workplace against the nursing staff in the pediatric departments of one of the largest hospitals in Thessaloniki.
Methodology: This study is addressed to nurses working in one of the major hospitals in Thessaloniki; indeed, they work at the pediatric departments of the hospital. It will examine carefully any possible exposure to mobbing. The data have been collected through questionnaires containing 51 questions identifying 6 factors that determine mobbing in the workplace.
Results: It is obvious that while studying the demographic characteristics of the individuals in the survey sample, most of them are women, while men are fewer. Regarding the marital status of the respondents, a high percentage of the sample is married, a small percentage is single, divorced and not one of them is a widow or a widower. In addition, a small percentage of respondents are between 26-35 years old, the highest percentage of respondents are between 36-45 years old, a slightly lower percentage is found between 46-55 years old and only a few of the respondents are between 56-65 years old. Last but not least, a small percentage of the respondents are Registered Nurses (University Education), the majority of the sample are Registered Nurses (Technological Institution Education) while Licensed Practical Nurses are slightly fewer than the latter ones.
Conclusions: Moral harassment (Moral Mobbing) in the workplace is not a static phenomenon affecting only weak and vulnerable people. Antithetically, it is a multidimensional and complex phenomenon and it should be seen both as an interaction of the individual and social characteristics amongst the victim, the victimiser and the organizational culture of the workplace.
Efficacy of Rose Bengal in comparison with Toluidine Blue in detection of potentially malignant lesions: a preliminary study
Authors: Yaji Dr. Anisha R , Hegde Dr.Sushmini 
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Oral cancer is usually diagnosed when it becomes symptomatic and approximately two thirds of the patients present with the advanced disease, regional metastasis and consequently poor prognosis. The risk of development of carcinoma within an area of premalignant lesion is 5 times higher than in those without lesion. Malignant transformation has been reported in 43% of dysplastic leukoplakia cases. It is therefore important to identify these lesions early, for early management.
Aim: To compare the diagnostic efficiency of Rose Bengal (RB) with Toluidine blue (TB) in
detecting the biopsy sites and thus establish an accurate diagnosis in detecting oral potentially malignant disorders.
Materials And Methods: In our study 27 patients with 41 lesions were included. Since one patient had not quit the habit in the two weeks following initial examination and another patient lesion disappeared in the waiting period, 2 patients (3 lesions) were not included in the study. After initial examination they were subjected to Rose Bengal and Toluidine blue stain. Positively stained lesions were subjected to biopsy and assessed for dysplasia. All the data were tabulated and statistically analysed in SPSS software version v.22.IBM, corp. Chi square test was done to compare the difference between two stains.
Results: When compared with TB staining RB showed 100% Sensitivity, 90% specificity, 96.6% positive predictive value and 100% negative predictive value.
Conclusion: Based on the results and other observations made during the study it could be suggested that RB could be used as an alternative to TB clinically. Further studies with large samples are recommended to support the evidence of this study.

Authors: Pitra Dian Ayu Hamama , Akbar Resti Rahmadika 
Published: April 2019

Background: The National board of medical examination (“UKMPPD) has been implemented since August 2014 and has emerged a new challenge for medicine faculty in Indonesia in which there are 2769 “UKMPPD CBT” retakers in November 2017. It is the same challenge for Faculty of medicine, university of baiturrahmah (FMUNBRAH) where there are 82 CBT retakers in February 2018. The “UKMPPD” as a determinant of graduation should represent the process of conducting competency-based curriculum during preclinical and clinical program. Thus the GPA as a measure of student performance in conducting the curriculum is expected to correlate in achieving the “UKMPPD CBT”.
Aims: To determine the correlation between preclinical GPA score of students with achieving the “UKMPPD CBT”.
Methods: It was cross sectional design consisting subject of 749 students who joined “UKMPPD CBT” as firstaker since November 2014-February 2018. Data obtained were preclinical GPA and the results of “UKMPPD CBT”. GPA data was grouped into three categories with satisfying, very satifying, and cum laude predicate. The results of “UKMPPD CBT” were grouped by achieving and not achieving. Furthermore, the data was analyzed using Sommers'd correlation test.
Results: The median value of preclinical GPA were 3.00 (2.35-3.76). There is a weak negative correlation between preclinical GPA with achieving of “UKMPPD CBT” (p <0.001; value r = -0.221).
Conclusion: There is a weak negative correlation between GPA with the accomplishement of UKMPPD CBT. This result can provide feedback to institutional managers regarding the process of implementing the curriculum based competency.
High Expression of CXCR4, Instead of PD-L1, Is Correlated with Poor Clinical Response to R-CHOP Therapy in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Patients
Authors: Riani Fety , Dewayani Birgitta Maria , Yulianti Herry , Hernowo Bethy Surjawathy , Suryanti Sri 
Published: April 2019

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma worldwide. Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) are the current standard therapy. About 10% cases of DLBCL were refractory to these immunochemotherapy and may have poor prognosis. Latest studies showed that C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) were involved in DLBCL biology and correlated with patients’ poor survival. This study aimed to investigate the expression of CXCR4 and PD-L1 with clinical characteristics and its response to R-CHOP in DLBCL and their potential benefit as future predictive biomarkers.
Methods: Thirty four cases of newly diagnosed DLBCL were selected from Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, during 2015-2018. Treatment outcome was retrieved from patients’ medical records. The expression of CXCR4 and PD-L1 in patients’ tumor tissues were detected using immunohistochemistry.
Results: Five of 34 cases (14.70%) showed poor clinical response to R-CHOP. High CXCR4 expression was detected in 11 of 34 cases (32.35%), it was significantly correlated with clinical stage (p = 0.0003) and poor clinical response (p = 0.029). High PD-L1 expression was detected in 10 of 34 cases (29.41%) and was significantly correlated with patients’ gender (p = 0.022) but was not correlated with poor clinical response (p = 0.138).
Conclusions: CXCR4 in DLBCL increased probability of poor clinical response to R-CHOP, but not PD-L1 expression. This finding provides the ground for further research which relates to CXCR4 as a future predictive biomarker for this challenging malignancy.

Published: April 2019

Local tourists are always the booster of the number of tourist visits at each tourist destination. The results of the BPS survey also suggest that local tourist contributions are greater than foreign tourists. This is important to be the concern of tourist managers. If the tour manager can find out the characteristics of local tourists, then it is easier to predict demand from tourists. Because the characteristics of tourists become one of the decisive factors in the decision to choose a tourist destination. This study attempts to describe the characteristics of local Lampung tourists.
Roles and Challenges of Technology in Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Abualhaija DBA Mohamed 
Published: April 2019

Many believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is irrelevant and bad for businesses, while others swear of its strategic importance for the overall growth of local and global economies. This paper examines the impact of technology on corporates morals and social responsibility. Companies like GE and Nike direct resources and strategies to strengthen the environment and local and global communities. Through improving education programs and investing in technology, these companies attempt to fulfill their social responsibilities to all communities.
Companies use corporate social responsibility to build a reputation and a brand name. Through technology exports, the world’s economy is synchronized. Creating and sharing technology enhances the world’s productivity and economy, mainly because developing countries are incapable of investing much in R&D.
As the infusion of technology contributes to the growth of the global economy, the question remains to what degree the technological breakthroughs create ethical and moral concerns when exploring new frontiers, and to what degree scientists consider the social and ethical consequences when testing and investigating.
This paper explores some of the ethical, social, and legal circumstances related to different controversial research fields to include creating the atomic bomb, human cloning, and the research of synthetic biology science.

The Modern African Woman and the Politics of Reconciling Career and Domestic Activities
Authors: Menang PhD Ophilia Abianji- 
Published: April 2019

In early African male fiction, women were not allowed to go to school. They were pushed to the periphery where they occupied marginal spaces. They had no voice in public. They were expected to perform household duties concerning childbearing and domestic functions. These are roles that domesticated women and made them dependent on their husbands for survival. However, urbanization and the spread of female education has given women more space and opportunities for survival and livelihood. In addition to culturally assigned roles, women are now educated and have acquired skills which enable them to have paid jobs and pursue a career in different walks of life thereby rendering them economically empowered and making positive contributions to the growth of their communities and families. This blend of domestic activities and pursuing a career is not without its own challenges. This article aims at examining the politics of reconciling career and domestic activities through the prism of Alobwed’Epie’s Patching the Broken Dream. It looks at the challenges that women/widows go through as wives, mothers and being career women. It reveals how the woman/widow rises above these challenges and reconstructs her image. Informed by the womanist ideology of Micere Mugo, E Modupe Kolawole and Chikwenye Ogunyemi, this paper justifies the view that domestic activities and career in the novel under study is challenging for women especially widows. However, these challenges do not limit the woman. They make her strong and develop hidden potentials that change their perception about life and people’s view about women and widows.
The Episteme of Meta-Modernity: Order, Value, and Citizenship in the Space of ‘Digital Finitudes’
Authors: Jaros Prof Milan 
Published: April 2019

Fuelled by the neo-liberal division of labour, complexification acquired a life of its own. This gave a novel dimension to the growing gap between emergent knowledge and human systems, knowing and being, between the human content of work and its outcomes, value and citizenship. It is argued that here is one of the key reasons why most decisions are made in the chaotic space of ephemeral price relations manufactured by the data-rich, runaway ‘surveillance commoditism’. However, advances in quantitative, empirical methodologies also open an action space for a fresh research agenda. It is to recast our past and present into transparent, directional genealogical accounts of order generation and actualisation recording the ascent and limits of development as well as its pathways between the ‘lab & cloister’ and the social systems. It grounds a new, ‘meta-modern’ Foucauldian episteme in which the notion of order freed of power-hungry impositions assumes the role of an onto-epistemic variable and offers a rational base for defeating the prospect of ‘digitally enhanced serfdom’. The necessary condition for this agenda to begin to assert itself is a radical methodological transformation of educational and management programmes aimed at bottom up ownership of, and responsibility for the making, choosing, and symbolising, with a view to restoring value as a measure of actualisation of human independence and ability. Only then can knowledge live up to its foundational mission of liberation by reason.
The Whale Child by C. Simpson
Authors: MacLeod Lorisia 
Published: April 2019

Simpson, Carroll. The Whale Child. Illustrated by Carroll Simpson. Heritage House Publishing Co. Ltd. 2016.
Simpson does not list an Indigenous community affiliation so I will be referring to this work as Indigenous-inspired based on the author information provided.
The Whale Child by Carroll Simpson is a story about a young girl who is swept out to sea after her village is destroyed and develops a connection with a whale to find her way back to her sister. It features Simpson’s signature West Coast First Nation inspired art style and style of storytelling creating a visually beautiful book that even younger readers might enjoy for the illustrations. Simpson acknowledges that this tale is not a traditional tale but rather one of her own creation with biological facts about whales at the end of the story; however, the artwork and phrasing in the story would likely mislead readers to believe it to be a traditional retelling. This is similar to her other titles in her Coastal Spirit Tales series which feature Indigenous-inspired art and storytelling making them a resource to be used only with critical thought.
The Whale Child has all the trappings of a book that would be easy to use as Indigenous content in early grades; however, doing so would displace Indigenous voices that could be used so I would caution against using this title only because it fits the assumptions of what Indigenous works look like.
For both librarians and educators, I would recommend engaging with your Indigenous connections prior to using this book to ensure that it is catalogued or implemented into the curriculum appropriately. It is possible that there may be Indigenous voices that your community would like highlighted in place of Indigenous-inspired works and that should be something critically discussed when looking at this book as an educational resource.
