Authors: Güzel Mert Can , Toksoy Mahmut Ozan 
Published: December 2023

Aim: Acne vulgaris is an inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies continue to invest heavily in research and development for acne treatments. Medicinal plants are being studied as potential options to prevent antibiotic resistance and reduce the cost of treating diseases. This study aimed to prepare cream formulations containing various amounts of rosemary extract (RE) and green tea extract (GTE) with antibacterial properties, perform characterization studies, and determine formulation activity against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes).
Methods: The cream's basis was prepared by the fusion method. Different amounts of rosemary extract and green tea extract were added. The cream formulations were characterized by microscopy, pH, rheological properties, texture properties, droplet size measurement, and a stability test. The P. acnes antibacterial test was carried out using the agar diffusion method.
Results: The cream formulations F2 and F1 were effective against P. acnes and met all of the necessary criteria, including rheological, hardness, compressibility, stickiness, elasticity, physical stability, droplet size measurement, and pH. Antibacterial test results for the F1 formulation, the zone diameter was 10 ± 0.15 mm, and for the F2 formulation, it was 12 ± 0.15 mm.
Conclusion: In our study, we found that formulations F1 and F2 can be administered topically because they show pseudoplastic flow, an appropriate pH value, appropriate textural properties, and antibacterial activity against P. acnes-induced acne vulgaris.

Published: December 2023

Background: This study sought to evaluate the relations among expressive suppression (ES), cognitive reappraisal (CR), and stress during COVID-19 in young adults with self-reported social anxiety. We hypothesized that social anxiety would positively relate to ES but negatively relate to CR. Furthermore, we predicted that stress severity would moderate the relation between social anxiety and emotion regulation, where higher reports of stress and social anxiety would predict greater ES and lower CR. Methods: Participants were young adults (N = 84; 18-24 years old) who completed self-report measures of social anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation amid COVID-19. Zero-order correlations assessed relations among these variables. Moderation analyses assessed stress as a moderator of the relation between social anxiety and emotion regulation. Results: Results indicated that social anxiety was significantly correlated with ES but not CR. The relation between social anxiety and ES was moderated by stress severity, such that as stress increased, individuals with higher social anxiety engaged in less ES. Stress did not moderate the relation between social anxiety and CR. Conclusions: The current study suggests that self-reported social anxiety is positively associated with ES (but not CR) during COVID-19; however, individuals with high social anxiety and perceived stress engaged in less ES.

Analysis of radiation contamination levels has been carried out using an Atomtex surveymeter in the patient rooms after thyroid cancer ablation therapy, in the Nuclear Medicine Installation, Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Hospital. This study aims to measure the level of radiation exposure based on the rate of radiation exposure and radiation contamination of objects in the patient rooms after ablation therapy, and to find out how long linen can be washed since the first measurement. Data collection was carried out once a week, on the same weekday, for five weeks for objects in the patient rooms by using the surveymeter at a fixed distances from the objects’ surfaces. Radiation contamination measurements for linen items were carried out for 3 d by aiming the surveymeter to container containing linen items from certain distances. Based on this study, the level of radiation exposure obtained is categorized as low because the value range is below 10 μSv/h. The radiation contamination for some objects are categorized as low-level exposure because the value is less than 3.7 Bq/cm2. Other objects tend to be in the moderate-level category because the value is more than 3.7 Bq/cm2 and less than 37 Bq/cm2. The values obtained refer to the standard issued by BATAN. It can be concluded that the patient rooms in the Nuclear Medicine Installation of Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Hospital are safe.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
This study was set out to identify and document the highway tourist stop-over foodservice establishments (HTSFE) characteristics; thus, creating a profile and grading for informed choice by tourists. The study adopted a cross-sectional design and quantitative data was collected from managers of establishments. The questionnaire was interviewer- administered in addition to an observational check-list. The study involved 30 HTSFE identified with the assistance from Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) and Uganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA). The response rate was 100%. Most of HTSFE were located in Western (47.6%) and Eastern Uganda (36.7%). Some were either stand-alone restaurants (40%) or part of a bigger hotel (43%). A considerable number (30%) employed between 1-5 food handlers and most (63.3%) had operated for more than 10 years. Majority (58.6%) were inspected by UTB in addition to either local council or city council. The commonest complaint recorded was delay in service (73.7%). The dishes prepared included local dishes (90%) and international cuisines (66.7%). Most HTSFE used water from National Water and Sewerage corporation (79.3%). None of the HTSFE had a food safety management system. The HTSFE belonged to three grade categories: B (36.6%), C (30%) and Non-graded (33.3%). The findings of the study suggest the need for implementing food safety management systems and more regular inspections and trainings for food safety assurance.

الذكاء الاصطناعي والوجود الإنساني: قراءة فكرية في الابعاد الاقتصادية
Authors: م.م.ليث عصام مجيد  
Published: January 2024

يعد الذكاء الاصطناعي من العلوم الحديثة التي ارتبطت بالإنسان منذ العقود الخمسة الماضية، وليتصبح السياسة الرقمية الاقتصادية جزءاً لا يتجزأ من المجتمع لكونها خرقت أغلب مجالات حياة الانسان. وهذا ما شجع صانعوا السياسات التكنولوجية الجديدة في التفكير بكيفية توظيفه لخدمة مصالحهم الاقتصادية العليا، بغض النظر عن بذل الجهود للتفكير في مصالح الانسان الاقتصادية وتنظيمهم ومراقبة الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي. لقد أيقنت غالبية الدول بضرورة وضع قيود تحد من الابتكار في الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي، ومراعاة القوانين الاقتصادية للدول. لا سيما وأن بعض برامج الذكاء الاصطناعي تُستخدم كمنصة لمحتوى غير قانوني، وتخترق سلباً الجوانب الاقتصادية في الدولة، دون أن تحرص وتفكر الشركات الكبرى في خطوات لمنع إساءة استخدام منصاتها.
حرصت الدول الراعية لشركات الذكاء الاصطناعي الكبرى، من الوقوف أمام الحدّ من تنظيم تطوير الابتكار الاقتصادي، مُدعية أن ذلك يُقيد من حرية تنمية التفكير التكنولوجي. لذلك تواجه اليوم كافة دول العالم مخاوف وتداعيات ضارة على مجتمعاتها من النواحي الانسانية الاقتصادية والسياسية والاعلامية وحتى الصحية...، مما يُساهم في تغيير العديد من سلوكيات الأفراد وأفكارهم، وصولاً لعالم مُولد للتفاهات، خصوصاً بعد فشل إمكانات التحكم فيه، لتصبح واجهة تطبيقات وبرامج الذكاء الاصطناعي هي تحقيق الرخاء والرفاهية للأنسان، لكن الواقع يثبت محط تهديداً للأنسانية. أن مصدر ومُنطلق الذكاء الاصطناعي هو العقل البشري، لكن طريقة تفكير الانسان تختلف عن طريقة تفكير واشتغال الذكاء الاصطناعي.
لذا أن دول العالم باتت تفكر اليوم بجدية، بأنها على اعتاب تهديد عالمي لا حدوُد وكوابح له، ولا خيار لها إلا الوقوف بوجهه من خلال عقد المؤتمرات الدولية، وتبادل الافكار بالحوار والاستماع الى وجهات النظر المخالفة ووضع القواعد والقوانين الدولية والمعاهدات الضامنة للمصالح الوطنية للدول، والاتفاق التي تنظيم الابتكار الاقتصادي، للوصول إلى صيغة مشتركة يتم من خلالها وضع إدارة وتنظيم ورقابة الذكاء الاصطناعي تحت سلطة دولية مشتركة، لا تحت سلطة الشركات الخاصة الراعية والمشغلة للذكاء الاصطناعي الاقتصادي التي سوف تجني من الذكاء الاصطناعي تريليونات الدولارات.

Published: December 2023

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia has experienced a concerning annual increase, reaching 4,627 deaths in 2020 compared to 4,221 in 2019. This upward trajectory underscores the urgency of investigating the factors contributing to MMR. Recognizing the spatial heterogeneity and outliers in the data, our study employs the Robust Geographically Weighted Regression (RGWR) method with the Least Absolute Deviation approach. Using secondary data from the 2020 Indonesian Health Profile publication, the research seeks to establish province-specific models for MMR in 2020 and identify the key influencing factors in each region. Standard regression analyses fall short in addressing the complexities present in the data, making the RGWR approach crucial for understanding the nuanced relationships. The chosen RGWR model utilizes the Least Absolute Deviation method and a fixed kernel exponential weighting function. Notably, this model maintains a consistent bandwidth value across all locations, showcasing its robustness. In evaluating the model variations, the exponential fixed kernel weighting function emerges as the most optimal, boasting the smallest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) value of 23.990 and the highest coefficient of determination value of 93.66%. The outcomes of this research yield 24 distinct models, each tailored to the unique characteristics of every province in Indonesia. This nuanced, location-specific approach is vital for developing effective interventions and policies to address the persistently high MMR. By providing insights into the complex interplay of factors influencing maternal mortality in different regions, the study contributes to the groundwork for targeted and impactful public health initiatives across Indonesia.
Reforming Primary Health Care in Akwa Ibom State
Authors: Udoh NB  
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION:Society and all social systems are dynamic which means that changes occur continuously. Some changes occur spontaneously while others are planned and executed. Planned changes, or reforms, occur in all sectors of life, the aim usually being to improve efficiency and performance in the system so that society could be better served. Since health is now regarded as a central focus in the overall developmental efforts of human societies, planned changes in the health sector occur very rapidly[1]. These changes have engendered profound impacts on the health of nations, leading to visible improvements in the quality of life. Primary health care is one such planned change. Since its definition and adoption in 1978[1], primary health care, where properly implemented has led to tremendous improvement in the health status of various communities as shown by drops in maternal mortality, infants mortality and other indices used in assessment of the health status of communities. It has not been a smooth sail for primary health care in Nigeria, and by extension, Akwa Ibom State. In the hay days of the programme, for example, immunization coverage country wide, as at 1990 was 65%[2]. Recently, coverage is said to have dropped to just 13%[3]. At a stage, things took such a dramatic turn that an assessment by some workers indicated that primary health care has completely collapsed at the local government level[4]. For the drift not to continue, primary health care at the local government level, which itself is a reform, has to be reformed. In this article, we discuss reforms in general, in the health sector in particular and suggest measures to reform primary health care in Akwa Ibom State.

Updates on contraception
Authors: Kigbu JH  , Daniyan ABC  
Published: December 2023

IntroductionContraception, which is the prevention of conception or impregnation by methods other than abstinence from coitus[1], has become an important subject the world over and in particular the Sub-Saharan African which has one of the highest fertility rates in the world.[2]
In the past, a high conception rate was counteracted by high fetal and maternal death rates as well as reduced life expectancy occasioned by disease, violence and war hence stabilizing the size of the family and community[3,4]. However with the advancements made in medicine and relatively improved socio-political environment, there has been increased survival rates and increased life expectancy with consequent increase in population. Hence contraception which until recently was, a very sensitive subject among Africans given our moral, religious and cultural beliefs, is now being increasingly accepted as a necessary ingredient of socio-economic development.
Relationship between random blood glucose levels and body mass index among rural adults in north central Nigeria

Published: December 2023

BackgroundObesity, usually assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI), has been identified as one of the risk factors for type 2 Diabetes mellitus. However, there are mixed reports on the relationship between blood glucose levels and BMI .ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the relationship between Random blood glucose levels and Body Mass Index among rural adults in North Central Nigeria.
MethodsWe carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study between February and May 2005. Seven hundred and fifty subjects who were ≥15years were sampled using systematic sampling technique. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire. Subjects were measured for height (m) and weight (kg); the Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated. Blood samples of subjects were used for the estimation of blood glucose concentration using the glucose oxidase method of Trinder.
ResultsThe study population consisted of 385(51.3%) males and 365(48.7%) females (male: female= 1.05:1). The mean age of the study population was 39.42±16.17years while the mean ages of the males and female were 35.23±14.09years and 43.83±17.04years respectively (t=7.55, p<0.001). The mean Random Plasma glucose level (RPGL) in the study subjects was 5.68(±2.16)mmol/L [males 5.69(±2.42)mmol/L and females 5.67(±1.86)mmol/L, t=0.11, P=0.91]. The mean BMI of the subjects was 23.86(±4.01)kg/m2 [males 23.19(±3.23)kg/m2 and females 24.56(±4.56)kg/m2, t=4.75, P<0.001].There was no relationship between random blood glucose levels and BMI of study subjects(r=0.00, P=0.30).
ConclusionWe found no relationship between the levels of random blood glucose and Body Mass Index among the rural adult in the north central Nigeria. It seems BMI would not be a good predictor of Diabetes Mellitus among rural adults.
