Abstract
Rice cultivation is the main economic livelihood for many families around the world. This activity represents several challenges for farmers and community members for rural sustainability, a cross-cutting element of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). In response, the Polytechnic University (ESPOL), fulfilling its mission of linking with society, implemented a community program where students and professors interact and collaborate with rice farmers in the rural community of Paipayales, located in the Santa Lucia canton, Guayas province. This article explores the impact of university-community projects through the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach in order to evaluate them as a tool for contributing towards rural sustainability in communities. As a result, it was determined that the main problems faced by most of the farmers of the “Dios con Nosotros” Association are the availability of water in the wells and the commercialization of paddy rice. Considering these problems, the wells were geolocated and a board was designed for proper water management; at the same time, water quality was studied and recommendations were presented according to the problems encountered. Two proposals were also presented to create a rice husker and a rice separator to increase their profit margin by selling rice directly to retailers and wholesalers. As relevant conclusions, the importance of implementing links and relationships between the university community and society was highlighted, guaranteeing the value of working in transdisciplinary teams and achieving a comprehensive intervention that would lead to significant improvements in the community.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to assess the worldwide clinical utilisation of Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and New Five-factor Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI-5F) for various clinical and scientific objectives, as well as to validate its application in Latvia. Numerous articles indexed in the MedLine Library (Pubmed.gov) were examined, spanning from the initial GBI publication to the present. Various applications of these questionnaires have been investigated across multiple medical specialties, including otolaryngology, ophthalmology, urology, paediatric practice, neuro-surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, and maxillofacial surgery in different countries. The use of the questionnaire in Latvia, following examples from other countries, can aid in assessing factors such as General Health, Support, Quality of Life, Self-Confidence and Social Involvement post-intervention in chronic conditions. This could help compare treatment outcome data both in clinical practice within our country and within the scientific community on an international level.

Abstract
In 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published the document “Charter: Health Worker Safety: a Priority for Patient Safety”, which emphasised the importance of enhancing health worker safety to improve patient safety. The significance of patient safety remains undiminished, as evidenced by the recent WHO document, “Patient Safety Rights Charter” (2024), which encompasses critical aspects of patient rights. It must be acknowledged that patient safety is intricately linked to the domain of patient rights, which in turn underpins that healthcare professionals require interdisciplinary competence to effectively fulfil their professional duties and provide comprehensive patient care. However, it is essential to accurately determine and justify the specific knowledge and skills from other fields that are necessary for healthcare professionals. And furthermore, it is crucial for healthcare specialists not only to acquire knowledge, but also to develop the ability to apply and integrate this knowledge into professional practice – participation in interdisciplinary clinical simulations that incorporate aspects of patient rights enables learners to develop the ability to think and act in clinical situations according to generally accepted algorithms and evidence-based practices, while also considering the legal aspects of patients’ rights. The study was carried out at the Medical Education Technology Centre, Rīga Stradiņš University, between 2023 and 2024, involving 107 residents from different specialties. The survey results reflect a strong interest and positive attitude towards interdisciplinary simulation-based training on patient rights. Participants emphasised its significance and value in enhancing resident education, highlighting the need for its continued and expanded implementation.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of the liver of unknown aetiology that can progress to liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver failure. The clinical presentation is often acute hepatitis, but can be insidious or completely asymptomatic. It is characterised by an increase in serum transaminases and immunoglobulin G, an inflammatory liver histology, and the presence of circulating autoantibodies. An autoimmune hepatitis diagnosis justifies lifelong treatment in most patients to prevent the development of cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. The cornerstone of treatment is steroid induction therapy followed by maintenance therapy with azathioprine, which is effective in most cases. Treatment should be optimised to reach these aims with a minimum of side effects. To achieve optimal results, individual treatment regimens and compromises between treatment aims and personal choices are needed. The aim of the study was to collect data on the clinical course, therapy, and results of autoimmune hepatitis, on the compliance of treatment choice with the criteria for starting therapy. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Rīga Eastern University Hospital Archives for the period 2019–2023. The study group consisted of 37 patients diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis who were hospitalised or consulted in an outpatient clinic during the above period. Information relating to the patient’s electronic medical records were obtained and no additional sources were used. In the study, it was found that the clinical and diagnostic criteria of autoimmune hepatitis in Rīga Eastern Clinical University Hospital over a five-year period usually correspond to the generally accepted diagnostic principles, but the therapeutic approach does not always correspond to the guidelines, especially regarding the duration of therapy.

Abstract

Background
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is an essential tool for diagnosis and prognosis in patients with cardiomyopathies. Over the past decades, it has become the gold standard for assessing cardiac function, volumes and mass. In addition, its tissue characterization capabilities, including T1, T2 and T2* mapping and gadolinium enhancement images, allow differentiation between ischemic, inflammatory and infiltrative etiologies of heart disease.

Aims
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of CMR in the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected cardiomyopathies. The secondary objective of the study was to identify predictors that influence the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiomyopathies, as confirmed by CMR. The primary endpoint of the study was the significant clinical impact (SCI), a binary variable (yes/no), defined as the change/no change in the diagnosis or the change/no change in clinical management.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the medical charts and CMR evaluations of 594 consecutive patients referred for CMR in two centers between January 2021 and March 2022. In this study, we only included patients with cardiomyopathies/myocarditis.

Results
The study sample included 272 patients: 179 patients (65.8%) were male and the mean (SD) age was 49 (14) years. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced CMR. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was detected in 177 patients (65%). In 44% of the cases, the final diagnosis based on CMR differed from the initial assessment and in 47% of cases, there was a change in management. Overall, CMR had a significant clinical impact in 66% of cases.
LVEF (OR 0.97, 95% CI, p=0.002), LVESVi (OR 1.01, 95% CI, p=0.012), RVEF (OR 0.97, 95% CI, p=0.002) and LGE (OR 1.84, 95% CI, p=0.019) were predictors of SCI by univariable analysis.
In a multivariable model, LGE (OR 1.72, 95% CI, p=0.038) and LVESVi (OR 1.01, 95% CI, p=0.021) proved to be independent predictors for significant clinical impact.

Conclusions
Our study provides evidence supporting the value of CMR imaging as a diagnostic tool of cardiomyopathies, which impacts patient management.

Pendahuluan: Osteoarthritis dapat mengurangi kualitas hidup seseorang akibat nyeri dan keterbatasan gerak. Pengobatan OA menggunakan obat analgesik dan antiinflamasi berisiko mengakibatkan perdarahan pada lambung. Terapi invasif dengan penyuntikan IA menjadi pilihan yang baik namun karena risiko akibat penyuntikan dan biaya yang cukup mahal sehingga perlu melakukan meta-analisis untuk menentukan mana yang paling efektif mengurangi nyeri pada pasien KOA. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membantu pemilihan terapi injeksi intra artikular yang lebih efektif dan tepat dalam memberikan terapi pada pasien KOA.
Metode: Pencarian artikel RCT yang menilai efektifitas IA PRP (LP-PRP atau LR-PRP) dengan IA-HA, terhadap nyeri dengan skor Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) sebagai alat ukur, dari Pubmed, Cochrane, Proquest, ScienceDirect, Clinical Key, dan EBSCO host. Artikel dinilai kualitasnya dengan skala JADAD. Lalu yang terpilih akan dilakukan meta analisis. Alur pemilihan artikel akan disajikan dalam PRISMA flow chart.
Hasil: Enam penelitian memenuhi kriteria kelayakan yang dipisahkan berdasarkan variabelnya, leukocyte-poor platelet rich plasma dan HA dan leukocyte-rich platelet rich plasma dan HA. Terdapat perbedaan rerata skor WOMAC yang signifikan pada LR-PRP dibandingkan dengan HA (mean difference -5,24) dan LP-PRP dibandingkan dengan HA (mean difference -3,82).
Simpulan: Hasil meta-analisis ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa terapi injeksi intra-artikular dengan LR-PRP lebih unggul daripada LP-PRP dan HA pada 6 dan 12 bulan, terutama untuk nyeri lutut simtomatik.

Published: September 2024

In this research, we have derived the solution of the field equations of the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, proposed by Saez and Ballester(Phys. Lett. A113, 467:1986) within the frame-work of Bianchi type-III Universe. We have analyzed the interacting and non-interacting anisotropic Barrow Holographic Dark Energy (BHDE) models by assuming the time dependent deceleration parameter q(t). Further, we have discussed the several cosmological parameters such as energy densities of pressureless dark matter and BHDE, skewness, deceleration, equation of state parameters, ωBH-ω'BH plane and stability of the both interacting and non-interacting models. Also, we have observed that in our non-interacting and interacting models deceleration and equation of state parameters support the recent observational data.

Published: September 2024

The conditions and parameters for the synthesis of metal oxide films (ZnO, SnO2, and Zn2SnO4) by spray pyrolysis have been determined. The films were synthesized from aqueous solutions; the main differences between the methods were in the composition of the precursors, in the modes and time of deposition. The crystal structure of the Zn2SnO4 film corresponds to the cubic lattice, which belongs to the space group Fd3m with blocks 53 nm in size and lattice parameters a = 6.238 Å. Films of SnO2 and ZnO nanocrystallites 28 and 31 nm in size coherently arranged with lattices in the volume of thin Zn2SnO4 films can exhibit quantum size effects, which is of interest for modern nanotechnology. The crystals of the obtained SnO2 films have a tetragonal Bravais lattice with the space group P4 2/mnm with lattice parameters a = b = 4.836 Å and c = 3.245 Å, and the size of the SnO2 film subcrystals is 61 nm. The resulting ZnO films belong to the C6/mmc space group and the crystal lattice has a hexagonal syngony with the wurtzite structure with parameters a = b = 0.3265 nm and c = 0.5212 nm. It has been determined that, on the surface of the thin film grown, zinc oxide bumps with sizes LZnO ≈ 84 nm appear, which affect the unique properties of the samples. It is shown that the resulting thin Zn2SnO4, SnO2, and ZnO films can be used in a wide range of applications from sensitive sensor elements to coatings in transparent electronics in terms of their optical parameters.

Sedangkan Kroasia, hanya mengaturnya dalam undang-undang Mahkamah Konstitusinya. Di Indonesia, walaupun secara kelembagaan terdapat Mahkamah Konstitusi namun mekanisme constitusional question tidak diakomodir, baik didalam UUD 1945 sebagai konstitusinya maupun dalam undang-undang Mahkamah Konstitusi. Padahal, mekanisme constitutional question memiliki relevansi dengan konsep negara hukum Pancasila dengan penduduk yang majemuk
Phineas, Son of Eleazar, in Pseudo-Philo’s Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum
Authors: Marcello Fabrizio 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In contrast to the biblical tradition, the figure of Phineas saw considerable development in Second Temple traditions. Numerous studies have appeared recently, yet the Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum, which shows awareness of such traditions and reworks them creatively, has been overlooked by scholars. The present contribution aims to investigate the significant testimony of Pseudo-Philo, who constructs a complex and versatile character in his rewriting of biblical history – one who is responsible for the purity of worship against any idolatrous drift and who is the guardian of the Law and its understanding. Moreover, Phineas occupies a central position in the eschatological scenario, since he will be taken up to heaven like Elijah until his return in the last days, when, after his death, he will participate in the divine judgment.
